A certificate of the applicable payee(s) setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(d) If any Lender determines in good faith that it has received a refund from a Government Authority relating to Taxes in respect of which the Borrower paid Additional Amounts or made a payment pursuant to Section 2.5(c), such Lender shall promptly pay such refund to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expense (including any Taxes imposed thereon) of such Lender incurred in obtaining such refund, and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender if such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Nothing in this Section shall require any Lender to disclose any information it deems confidential (including, without limitation, its tax returns) to any Person, including Borrower.
Section 2.6 Costs, Expenses and Losses. If, as a result of any failure by the Borrower to pay any sums due under this Agreement on the due date therefor (after the expiration of any applicable grace periods), the Lenders shall incur commercially reasonable costs, expenses and/or losses, by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits from third parties or in connection with obtaining funds to maintain the Disbursement, the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders upon request by the Lenders, the amount of such costs, expenses and/or losses within fifteen (15) days after receipt by it of a certificate from the Lenders setting forth in reasonable detail such costs, expenses and/or losses, along with supporting documentation.

Section 2.7 Interest.
(a) The outstanding principal amount of the Notes shall bear interest from the Disbursement Date at the Interest Rate (calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed). Except as set forth in subsection (b) below, accrued interest shall be paid commencing on October 1, 2013 and thereafter quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October thereafter (each, an “Interest Payment Date”).
(b) Interest accrued on each of the first five Interest Payment Dates shall not be paid on such Interest Payment Date, but shall be added on such Interest Payment Date to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and bear interest as provided herein. For greater certainty, interest will accrue at the Interest Rate (calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed) on the accrued and unpaid interest amounts from time to time that, but for Section 2.7, would be due and payable.
12 |
(c) For purposes of disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada), where interest is calculated pursuant hereto at a rate based upon a 360 day year (the “First Rate”), it is hereby agreed that the rate or percentage of interest on a yearly basis is equivalent to such First Rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the year divided by 360, as applicable
(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as that term is defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)) exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined therein) lawfully permitted under Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). The effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the term of the Loan and in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by Lender will be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.
(e) For greater certainty, whenever any amount is payable under this Agreement or any Financing Agreement by Borrower as interest or as a fee which requires the calculation of an amount using a percentage per annum, each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that such amount shall be calculated as of the date payment is due without application of the “deemed reinvestment principle” or the “effective yield method”. As an example, when interest is calculated and payable monthly, the rate of interest payable per month is one-twelfth (1/12th) of the stated rate of interest per annum.
(f) Accrued Interest may be paid in Dollars or Common Shares pursuant to Section 2.11.
Section 2.8 Interest on Late Payments. Without limiting the remedies available to the Lenders under the Transaction Documents or otherwise, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, if the Borrower fails to make a required payment of principal or interest with respect to the Notes when due the Borrower shall pay, in respect of such principal and interest at the rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate plus ten percent (10%) for so long as such payment remains outstanding. Such interest shall be payable on demand. For the purposes of this Section 2.8, the Borrower shall not be deemed to have failed to make a required payment of principal or interest with respect to the Notes when due if it has initiated such payment and receipt of such payment by the Borrower is delayed due to circumstances beyond the control of the Borrower and for a period of one Business Day after such circumstances are no longer continuing.
Section 2.9 Fee and Costs.

Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.11, the Borrower’s exercise of its share issuance rights under this Section 2.11 shall be deemed to satisfy its obligation to pay any accrued and unpaid interest in respect of which such share issuance right is being exercised as of the Interest Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, interest payments that are added to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes pursuant to Section 2.7(b) shall not be payable through Common Share Issuances.

Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.11, upon written notice given at least 10 Trading Days prior to the applicable date on which interest would otherwise be due under Section 2.7 hereunder, the Borrower may deliver to the Lenders notice by electronic mail (a “Share Issuance Notice”) of its intention to cause Common Share Issuances to be made pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.11 in satisfaction of payment of interest under the Notes on such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that the Borrower may not deliver a Share Issuance Notice (i) upon and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in Section 5.4), (ii) unless the Borrower has, at the time of such issuance, complied with the “current public information” requirement of Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act, (iii) during the occurrence of a Delisting Event (as defined below), (iv) at any time following receipt of a Major Transaction Notice, (iv) unless all material information regarding the Borrower has been publicly disclosed in reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act, (v) if, as of the close of business on the Trading Day preceding the date of the Share Issuance Notice, the Borrower’s market capitalization is less than the Applicable Market Capitalization Amount (as defined below) or, (vi) if the closing bid price for the Borrower’s Common Shares as of the last Trading Day preceding the date of the Share Issuance Notice on the Principal Market (as defined below) on which the Borrower’s Common Shares are listed, traded or quoted is less than $1.00 per share. Subject to such provisions, a Share Issuance Notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the aggregate amount of interest under the Notes that the Borrower intends to satisfy by issuing Common Shares to the Lenders on the applicable Interest Payment Date (the “Share Issuance Amount”).
For purposes herein, a “Delisting Event” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Common Shares cease to be listed, traded or publicly quoted on the Principal Market (as defined below) on which Common Shares are listed as of such date, and shall continue until such shares are relisted or requoted on either the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Global Market or the NASDAQ Capital Market (each, a “Principal Market”).
14 |
For purposes herein, “Freely Tradeable Common Shares” means, with respect to any Common Shares issued pursuant to this Section 2.11, such shares are eligible for resale by the Lenders that are not affiliates (as defined in Rule 144(a)(1) of the Securities Act) of the Borrower without restriction and without the need for registration under all applicable federal or state securities laws; provided that, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Lenders an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E relating to such Common Shares.
For purposes herein, the “Applicable Market Capitalization” shall mean $50 million calculated based upon the product of (x) the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares as of the date of calculation (exclusive of any shares issuable upon the exercise of options or warrants or conversion of any convertible securities), multiplied by (y) the average closing bid price for the Borrower’s Common Shares as of the preceding five Trading Days on the Principal Market on which the Borrower’s Common Shares are listed, traded or quoted; provided, however, that if the market capitalization based upon the last closing bid price for the Borrower’s Common Shares as of the preceding Trading Day on the Principal Market on which the Borrower’s Common Shares are listed, quoted or traded is less than $40 million, the Applicable Market Capitalization Amount shall be deemed not to have been satisfied.
(c) Common Share Issuance on Interest Payment Date. If the Borrower has elected to make a Common Share Issuance on the applicable Interest Payment Date, the Borrower shall issue to the Lenders a number of Common Shares (the “Interest Payment Shares”) equal to the quotient of (1) the Share Issuance Amount and (2) the Interest Payment Price in effect on the applicable Interest Payment Date. By no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Interest Payment Date, the Borrower shall credit the shares underlying the Common Share Issuance, to which the Lender shall be entitled to the Lender’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depositary Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. For purposes herein, “Trading Day” means any day on which the Common Shares are traded for at least two hours on a Principal Market. For purposes herein, “Interest Payment Price” shall mean, the lesser of (i) 95% of the average of the Volume Weighted Average Prices for the Borrower’s Common Shares for the twenty (20) Trading Day period prior to the Interest Payment Date (the “VWAP Period”) or (ii) 95% of the closing bid price for the Borrower’s Common Shares as of the last Trading Day of the VWAP Period on the Principal Market on which the Borrower’s Common Shares are listed, traded or quoted. For purposes herein, “Volume Weighted Average Price” means the daily volume weighted average sale price of such security on the Principal Market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets or an equivalent, reliable reporting service (“Bloomberg”) mutually acceptable to and hereafter designated by the Lenders and the Borrower or, if no volume weighted average sale price is reported for such security, then the last closing trade price of such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no last closing trade price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the over the counter market by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or on the “over the counter” Bulletin Board (or any successor) or in the “pink sheets” (or any successor) by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. (collectively, the “OTC Market”). If the Volume Weighted Average Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the volume weighted average price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the Required Lenders.
15 |
(d) Borrower Reporting. The Borrower shall furnish to the SEC a Report on Form 6-K, disclosing the Borrower’s delivery of a Share Issuance Notice, no later than 8:35 a.m., New York City time, on the first Trading Day following the date on which the Share Issuance Notice has been sent to the Lenders.
(e) Limitations on Share Issuances. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) no payments of interest on the Notes may be made in Common Shares to the extent that the number of shares so issued, together with the number of other Common Shares beneficially owned by a Lender and its affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Shares would be aggregated with the Lender for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, including any shares held by any “group” of which the Lender is a member, but exclusive of shares issuable at such time upon exercise or conversion of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitations set forth in this Section 2.11(e), would exceed 9.985% of the total number of Common Shares of the Borrower then issued and outstanding and (ii) the maximum number of Common Shares that the Borrower may issue pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.11 may not exceed 4,253,895 shares (subject to adjustment to reflect any stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar event). Subject to the compliance with the other provisions contained herein (including, without limitation, clause (ii) of this subsection (e)), the Lenders agree to use commercially reasonable efforts (which may include, without limitation, disposing of Common Shares prior to a Common Share Issuance under the terms hereof) to enable the Borrower to issue on any Interest Payment Date on which the Borrower elects to make a Common Share Issuance under the terms hereof, the Interest Payment Shares issuable on such Interest Payment Date without causing the violation of the provisions of clause (i) of this subsection (e).
(f) Allocation of Shares Underlying Common Share Issuances. All Common Shares issuable to the Lenders under Common Share Issuances pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be allocated pro rata among the Notes based on the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, in each case unless the Lenders notify the Borrower in writing of any different allocation ratio.
(g) Issuance of Shares Underlying Interest Share Issuances. It shall be a condition precedent to the delivery of Common Shares pursuant to this Section 2.11 that (i) approval for such issuance shall have been obtained from the applicable stock exchange, (ii) such Common Shares shall be duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, (iii) when issued in accordance with the terms hereof such Common Shares shall be validly issued and outstanding and fully paid and nonassessable, and (iv) when such Common Shares have been issued to the Lenders, the Lenders shall be entitled to all rights accorded to a holder and beneficial owner of Common Shares.
(h) Failure to Deliver Interest Payment Shares. If the Borrower fails on any Interest Payment Date to take all actions within its reasonable control to cause the delivery of the Interest Payment Shares required to be delivered on that date, and such failure is not cured within one (1) Trading Day following such Interest Payment Date (a “Share Delivery Failure”), no interest due under the Notes shall be reduced in respect of such Interest Payment Shares until such Interest Payment Shares are actually issued and, in addition to all other obligations under this Section 2.11, the Borrower shall be obligated to promptly pay to the Lenders, for each day that such Share Delivery Failure occurs, an amount equal to 5% of the dollar amount of interest payments due on the applicable Interest Payment Date.

(iii) Each Credit Party shall obtain and its Subsidiaries shall make and keep in full force and effect all Authorizations required to conduct their businesses, except where the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(iv) The Borrower shall promptly notify the Lenders of the occurrence of (i) any Default or Event of Default, (ii) any claims, litigation, arbitration, mediation or administrative or regulatory proceedings (individually,a “Claim”) that are instituted or threatened against any Credit Party or its Subsidiaries other than a Claim that demands less than $50,000; provided that, if any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries has outstanding any class of publicly traded securities, such notice shall be given concurrently with public disclosure of any such event, (iii) any reporting of device recalls, device failures or material adverse events or deaths in connection with any of the products of any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) an event that has had, or reasonably could be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect on the value of any Intellectual Property and (v) each event which, at the giving of notice, lapse of time, determination of materiality or fulfillment of any other applicable condition (or any combination of the foregoing), would constitute an event of default (however described) under any Transaction Document.
26 |
(v) (i) If the Borrower is not required to file reports pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Borrower will provide quarterly financial statements for itself, the other Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries within 45 days after the end of each quarter, and audited annual financial statements within 120 days after the end of each year prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States with a report thereon by the Borrower’s independent certified public accountants (an “Accountant’s Report”); (ii) the Borrower, and such other of the Credit Parties that are required to file such reports, will timely file with the SEC (subject to appropriate extensions made under Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act) any annual reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports required to be filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; and (iii) the Borrower will provide to the Lenders copies of all documents, reports, financial data and other information not available on the SEC XXXXX system or the SEDAR system and not containing any material non-public information that the Lenders may reasonably request including amendments to Organizational Documents and those of the other Credit Parties promptly after their effectiveness, and cause the Lenders to be permitted to visit and inspect any of the properties of the Credit Parties, and to discuss its affairs, finances with its officers during regular business hours and upon reasonable notice.

(vii) For each taxable year (or portion thereof) of the Borrower during which the Warrants are outstanding or any Lender holds Common Shares of the Borrower, the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to become a PFIC for such taxable year. For so long as a Lender owns Warrants or Common Shares of the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender the Borrower shall furnish any information reasonably requested by such Lender (and not generally available by reference to Borrower’s publicly available SEC Reports) to confirm whether or not the Borrower is a PFIC; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to furnish any information that it has not already publicly disclosed. In addition, for each taxable year of the Borrower during any portion of which the Warrants are outstanding or any Lender holds Common Shares of the Borrower, the Borrower shall make due inquiry of its tax advisors on an annual basis regarding its status as a PFIC and, if Borrower’s tax advisors determine that Borrower became a PFIC for any such taxable year, shall notify each Lender and each Person which is a “Holder” (as defined in the Warrant) of a Warrant (if other than a Lender), in writing, of the determination that the Borrower has become a PFIC for such taxable year by no later than 75 days following the close of such taxable year.

Each Lender shall promptly respond to any written inquiry from the Borrower requesting the Lender to inform the Borrower whether it owns any Common Shares of the Borrower. In the event that the Borrower ceases to be a foreign corporation for purposes of Section 1293(a) of the Code, as confirmed to the Lenders by a written opinion of a legal or accounting firm of national standing, then the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall cease to apply and the Borrower shall no longer be required to comply with the provisions of this paragraph.
27 |

Each SEC Document to be filed or furnished by the Borrower, when filed or furnished with the SEC, will comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(ix) The Borrower agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities purchased hereunder (including the Warrant Shares) as required under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Lender. The Borrower shall take any such action as is necessary, as determined in good faith by the Borrower after consulting with counsel, in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the securities purchased hereunder (including the Warrant Shares) for, issuance and sale to the Lenders under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Lender.

35 |
Section 6.11 Indemnity.
(a) The Borrower, shall, at all times, indemnify and hold harmless (the “Indemnity”) each of the Lenders and each Lender’s directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, counsel and advisors (each, a “Lender Indemnified Person”) from any losses, claims (including the cost of defending against such claims), damages, liabilities, penalties, or other expenses (each a “Loss”) which a Lender Indemnified Person may incur or to which a Lender Indemnified Person may become subject to the extent such Loss arises out of a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Borrower in any of the Transaction Documents, or the extension of credit hereunder or the Loan or the use or intended use of the Loan. Each Lender shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Borrower and each of its directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, counsel and advisors (each, a “Borrower Indemnified Person”) from any Losses which a Borrower Indemnified Person may incur or to which a Borrower Indemnified Person may become subject to the extent such Losses arises out of a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of such Lender in any of the Transaction Documents. In no event shall any Lender be liable under this provision (or under any other provision in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document) for any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of any other Lender. The Indemnity shall not apply with respect to any Indemnified Person to the extent that a court or arbitral tribunal with jurisdiction over the subject matter of the Loss, such Indemnified Person and over the Lenders or the Borrower, as applicable, determines (after such Indemnified Person that had an adequate opportunity to defend its interests), that such Loss resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person, which determination results in a final, non-appealable judgment or decision of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction. The Indemnity is independent of and in addition to any other agreement of any Party under any Transaction Document to pay any amount to the Lenders or the Borrower, as applicable, and any exclusion of any obligation to pay any amount under this subsection shall not affect the requirement to pay such amount under any other section hereof or under any other agreement. The indemnity obligation of each Lender pursuant to this Section 6.11 shall be several and not joint, and, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the aggregate liability of any Lender under this Section 6.11 (together with any liability under any other indemnity provision in any of the other Transaction Documents) shall not exceed an amount equal to the principal amount of the Notes initially purchased by such Lender hereunder.
(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 6.11 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person shall deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person.
(c) An Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The indemnifying party shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons, and such legal counsel shall be approved by the indemnifying party. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such legal action shall not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 6.11, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 6.11 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.
(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any of the Parties hereunder, the agreements and the obligations of the Parties contained in this Section 6.11 shall survive the termination of each other provision hereof and the payment of all amounts payable to the Lenders hereunder.

Section 6.12 Interest Limitations. The Transaction Documents are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the Loan exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstance whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law, that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be deemed excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of the Loan, or if such deemed excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Loan, such deemed excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Loan until payment in full so that the deemed rate of interest on account of the Loan is uniform throughout the term thereof. The terms and provisions of this Section shall control and supersede every other provision of this Agreement and the Notes.
Section 6.13 Further Assurances. From time to time, the Borrower shall perform any and all acts and execute and deliver to the Lenders such additional documents as may be necessary or as requested by the Lenders to carry out the purposes of any Transaction Document or any or to preserve and protect the Lenders’ rights as contemplated therein.
Section 6.14 Independent Transaction Documents. Each Transaction Document constitutes an independent agreement between the parties thereto (the “Transaction Parties”) and no Transaction Document shall be construed so as to affect the rights of the Transaction Parties to their rights and remedies under another Transaction Document.
Section 6.15 Judgment Currency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of the Borrower in respect of any amount due under this Agreement shall, notwithstanding any payment in any other currency (the “Other Currency”) (whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the amount in the currency in which it is due (the “Agreed Currency”) that Lenders may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase with the sum paid in the Other Currency (after any premium and costs of exchange) on the Business Day immediately after the day on which Lender receives the payment. If the amount in the Agreed Currency that may be so purchased for any reason falls short of the amount originally due, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts, in the Agreed Currency, as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall. Any obligation of the Borrower not discharged by that payment shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be due as a separate and independent obligation and, until discharged as provided in this Section 6.15, continue in full force and effect.

Form of Warrant
THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF OR EXERCISED UNLESS (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS SHALL HAVE BECOME EFFECTIVE WITH REGARD THERETO, OR (II) AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS AVAILABLE IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH OFFER, SALE, TRANSFER OR EXERCISE.
THE SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 16, 2013, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN HOLDERS OF ITS OUTSTANDING SECURITIES. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.
AN INVESTMENT IN THESE SECURITIES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. HOLDERS MUST RELY ON THEIR OWN ANALYSIS OF THE INVESTMENT AND ASSESSMENT OF THE RISKS INVOLVED.
UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE CANADIAN PROVINCIAL SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE JANUARY 17, 2014.
THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT ARE LISTED ON THE TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE (THE "TSX"); HOWEVER, THE SAID LISTED SECURITIES CANNOT BE TRADED THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF THE TSX SINCE THEY ARE NOT FREELY TRANSFERABLE, AND CONSEQUENTLY ANY CERTIFICATE REPRESENTING SUCH SECURITIES IS NOT 'GOOD DELIVERY' IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON THE TSX.
Warrant to Purchase
2,104,500 shares | Warrant Number 1 |
Warrant to Purchase Common Shares
of
THIS CERTIFIES that Deerfield Private Design Fund II, L.P. or any subsequent holder hereof (“Holder”) has the right to purchase from IMRIS Inc., a corporation incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act, (the “Company”), two million one hundred four thousand five hundred (2,104,500) fully paid and nonassessable common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”), subject to adjustment as provided herein, at a price equal to the Exercise Price as defined in Section 3 below, at any time during the Term (as defined below).
Holder agrees with the Company that this Warrant to Purchase Common Shares of the Company (this “Warrant” or this “Agreement”) is issued and all rights hereunder shall be held subject to all of the conditions, limitations and provisions set forth herein.
1. Date of Issuance and Term.
This Warrant shall be deemed to be issued on September16, 2013 (“Date of Issuance”). The term of this Warrant begins on the Date of Issuance and ends at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is seven (7) years after the Date of Issuance (the “Term”). This Warrant was issued in conjunction with that certain Facility Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) and the Registration Rights Agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”) by and between the Company, and Deerfield Private Design Fund II, L.P., Deerfield Private Design International II, L.P., Deerfield Special Situations Fund, L.P. and Deerfield Special Situations International Master Fund, L.P., each dated September 16, 2013, entered into in conjunction herewith.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not issue to the Holder, and the Holder may not acquire, a number of Common Shares upon exercise of this Warrant to the extent that, upon such exercise, the number of Common Shares then beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Shares would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) would exceed 9.985% of the total number of Common Shares then issued and outstanding (the “9.985% Cap”), provided, however, that the 9.985% Cap shall not apply with respect to the issuance of Common Shares pursuant to a Cashless Major Exercise (as defined below) in connection with a Major Transaction (as defined below) covered by the provisions of Section 5(c)(i)(A) below in which the Company is not the surviving entity (a “Qualified Change of Control Transaction”) to the extent that the number of shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates in the successor entity immediately following consummation of such Qualified Change of Control Transaction does not exceed 9.985% of the outstanding common stock of such successor entity and provided, further, that the 9.985% Cap shall only apply to the extent that the Common Shares are deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and the percentage held by the Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding. Each delivery of an Exercise Form by the Holder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined, based on the most recent public filings by the Company with the SEC (or any differing information received from the Company in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence), that the issuance of the full number of Common Shares requested in such Exercise Form is permitted under this paragraph.

With respect to a Holder of Warrants, any investment fund or managed account that is managed on a discretionary basis by the same investment manager as such Holder will be deemed to be an Affiliate of such Holder.

2. Exercise.
(a) Manner of Exercise. During the Term, this Warrant may be Exercised as to all or any lesser number of whole Common Shares covered hereby (the “Warrant Shares” or the “Shares”) by sending to the Company the Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Form”) duly completed and executed, together with, if applicable, the full Exercise Price (as defined below, which may be satisfied by a Cash Exercise or a Cashless Exercise, as each is defined below) for each share of Common Shares as to which this Warrant is Exercised, at the office of the Company, Xxxxx XxXxxxx; Phone: (000) 000-0000, Fax: (000) 000-0000, Email: xxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate in writing, by overnight mail, with an advance copy of the Exercise Form sent to the Company by facsimile or electronic mail (such exercise of the Warrant hereinafter called the “Exercise” of this Warrant).
(b) Date of Exercise. The “Date of Exercise” of the Warrant shall be defined as the date that the Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit A, duly completed and executed, is received by facsimile or electronic mail by the Company, provided that the Exercise Form is received by the Company and the Exercise Price (if applicable) is satisfied, each as soon as practicable thereafter but in any event no later than the close of business on the second Business Day thereafter. Alternatively, if Holder has not sent advance notice by facsimile or electronic mail, the Date of Exercise shall be defined as the date the original Exercise Form is received by the Company, provided that the Exercise Price, if applicable, is satisfied no later than the close of business on the second Business Day thereafter. Upon delivery of the Exercise Form to the Company by facsimile, electronic mail or otherwise, 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 such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be; provided, however, that (i) in the event of a Cashless Major Exercise in respect of a Qualified Change of Control Transaction, the Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the consummation of such Qualified Change of Control Transaction, (ii) in the event of a Cashless Major Exercise triggered by an event set forth in Section 5(c)(i)(E), the Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares issuable upon such exercise immediately following the occurrence of the Major Transaction and (iii) in the event that the Exercise Price (if applicable) is not satisfied by no later than the second Business Day following the delivery of the Exercise Form, as described above, the Holder shall not be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares until such time as the Exercise Price is received by the Company and the Company shall have no obligation to deliver such Warrant Shares until two (2) Business Days following the Company’s receipt of the full Exercise Price. The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within two (2) Business Days of the date the final Exercise Form is delivered to the Company. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Form and other required information with respect to a partial Exercise shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
(c) Delivery of Common Shares Upon Exercise. Within three (3) Business Days after any Date of Exercise or in the case of a Cashless Major Exercise or a Cashless Default Exercise (each as defined in Section 5(c) below), within the period provided in Section 5(c)(iv) or Section 3(c), as applicable (the “Delivery Period”), the Company shall issue and deliver (or cause its transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) to issue and deliver) in accordance with the terms hereof certificates representing that number of Common Shares (“Exercise Shares”) for the portion of this Warrant converted as shall be determined in accordance herewith. Upon the Exercise of this Warrant or any part hereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including obtaining and delivering an opinion of counsel, to assure that the Transfer Agent shall issue share certificates in the name of Holder (or its nominee) or such other persons as designated by Holder and in such denominations to be specified at Exercise representing the number of Common Shares issuable upon such Exercise. The Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the Transfer Agent and that, if the Unrestricted Conditions (as defined below) have been and continue to be met, unless waived by the Holder, this Warrant and the Exercise Shares will not be restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, may be freely transferred by non-affiliates (as such term is used in Rule 144 under the Securities Act), and certificates representing such securities will not be required to contain a legend restricting the resale or transferability of the Exercise Shares.
(d) Delivery Failure. In addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Exercise Shares by the end of the Delivery Period (a “Delivery Failure”), the Holder will be entitled, by notice to the Company made by electronic mail or facsimile prior to receipt by the Holder of the Exercise Shares, to revoke all or part of the relevant Exercise Form by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company in accordance with Section 2(a) whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of the Exercise Form, except that the liquidated damages described herein shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.
(e) Legends.
(i) Restrictive Legend. The Holder understands that until such time as this Warrant, the Exercise Shares and the Failure Payment Shares (as defined below) have been registered under the Securities Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, this Warrant, the Exercise Shares and the Failure Payment Shares, if any, will be restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act; may be offered, sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of only pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and in accordance with the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, a so-called “4(1) and a half” transaction, in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 below); and any certificate evidencing this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such securities):
“[THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF][THESE SECURITIES] HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF [OR EXERCISED] UNLESS (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS SHALL HAVE BECOME EFFECTIVE WITH REGARD THERETO, OR (II) AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS AVAILABLE IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH OFFER, SALE[,TRANSFER OR EXERCISE][OR TRANSFER].”
“THE SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 16, 2013, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN HOLDERS OF ITS OUTSTANDING SECURITIES. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”
The Holder further understands that until January 17, 2014, this Warrant and any certificate representing the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares will bear the following additional legends:
"UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE CANADIAN PROVINCIAL SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE JANUARY 17, 2014."
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE LISTED ON THE TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE (THE "TSX"); HOWEVER, THE SAID SECURITIES CANNOT BE TRADED THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF THE TSX SINCE THEY ARE NOT FREELY TRANSFERABLE, AND CONSEQUENTLY ANY CERTIFICATE REPRESENTING SUCH SECURITIES IS NOT 'GOOD DELIVERY' IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON THE TSX."
(ii) Removal of Restrictive Legends. This Warrant and the certificates evidencing the Exercise Shares and the Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, shall not contain any legend restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend set forth above in subsection 2(e)(i)): (A) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the sale or resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (B) following any sale of such Warrant, Exercise Shares and/or Failure Payment Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (C) if such Warrant, Exercise Shares and/or Failure Payment Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1), or (D) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) and the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel of the Holder to such effect (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the Effective Date, or at such other time as the Unrestricted Conditions have been met, if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the issuance of this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, without a restrictive legend or removal of the legends required hereunder, provided, however, that in connection with a legend removal request arising under clause (C) or (D) above, the Holder shall deliver to the Company a letter, signature guaranteed, substantially in the form of Exhibit D. If the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the time of issuance of this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares, then such Exercise Shares or Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions are met or such legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 2(e), it will, no later than three (3) Business Days following the delivery (the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Deadline”) by the Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of this Warrant and a certificate representing Exercise Shares and/or Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder this Warrant and/or a certificate (or electronic transfer) representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. For purposes hereof, “Effective Date” shall mean the date that the Registration Statement, that the Company is required to file pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, has been declared effective by the SEC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that for any reason the Unrestricted Conditions shall cease to apply to this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares, then upon notice provided by the Company to the Holder to such effect, the Holder shall promptly return the applicable certificates for this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares to the Transfer Agent, which shall re-issue such certificates bearing the legends contemplated in Section 2(e)(i), and such legends shall remain on such certificates for so long as the Unrestricted Conditions continue to not be met.
(iii) Sale of Unlegended Shares. Holder agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from this Warrant and any certificates representing the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares as set forth in Section 2(e) above is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Holder will sell this Warrant or any Exercise Shares and/or any Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.
(f) Cancellation of Warrant. This Warrant shall be canceled upon the full Exercise of this Warrant, and, as soon as practical after the Date of Exercise, Holder shall be entitled to receive Exercise Shares for the number of shares purchased upon such Exercise of this Warrant, and if this Warrant is not Exercised in full, Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant (containing terms identical to this Warrant) representing any unexercised portion of this Warrant in addition to such Common Shares upon return to the Company of the original Warrant for cancellation; provided, however, as set forth in Section 2(b), Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this warrant if the Warrant is not Exercised in full.
(g) Holder of Record. Each person in whose name this Warrant is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be the Holder of record of such shares on the Date of Exercise of this Warrant, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Common Shares purchased upon the Exercise of this Warrant. Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder any rights as a stockholder of the Company. Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder any rights as stockholder of the Company.
(h) Delivery of Electronic Shares. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Shares issuable upon Exercise or legend removal, or representing Failure Payment Shares, provided the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon written request of the Holder, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its Transfer Agent to electronically transmit the Common Shares issuable upon Exercise to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system. The time periods for delivery and penalties described herein shall apply to the electronic transmittals described herein. Any delivery not effected by electronic transmission shall be effected by deliver by physical certificates. Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder any rights as stockholder of the Company.
(i) Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates, or electronic shares through DWAC, representing the Exercise Shares pursuant to an Exercise on or before the end of the Delivery Period (provided that the Exercise Price, if applicable, has been satisfied as provided in Section 2(b) hereof), other than a failure caused by any incorrect or incomplete information provided by Holder to the Company hereunder, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Exercise Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such Exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Exercise Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the Exercise at issue times and (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, by notice to the Company made by electronic mail or facsimile prior to receipt by the Holder of the Exercise Shares, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Exercise Shares for which such Exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of Common Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its Exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted Exercise to cover the sale of Common Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing Common Shares upon Exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(j) Additional Representation. Unless the Holder shall have delivered a Representation Notice (as defined below) in connection therewith, each delivery of an Exercise Form in connection with a Cash Exercise shall constitute a representation that upon such Cash Exercise, the Holder will acquire the Warrant Shares as principal for its own account, for investment purposes only, and not with a view towards, the sale or distribution of the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that no such representations shall be construed as constituting an agreement by the Holder to hold any of the Warrant Shares for any minimum or other specific term and the Holder shall reserve the right to dispose of such Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. In addition, unless the Holder shall have delivered a Representation Notice (as defined below) in connection therewith, each delivery of an Exercise Form in connection with a Cash Exercise shall constitute a representation that, as of the date of such Cash Exercise, the Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act. If the Holder is unable to make the representations set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 2(j) at the time it delivers its Exercise Form in respect of a Cash Exercise, the Holder shall notify the Company in writing that it is not making such representations (a “Representation Notice”). If the Holder delivers a Representation Notice in connection with a Cash Exercise, it shall be a condition to the Holder’s Cash Exercise of this Warrant that the Company receive such other representations as the Company considers reasonably necessary to assure the Company that the issuance of Warrant Shares upon such Cash Exercise of this Warrant shall not violate any United States or state securities laws.
3. Payment of Warrant Exercise Price for Cash Exercise or Cashless Exercise; Cashless Major Exercise and Cashless Default Exercise.
(a) Exercise Price. The Exercise Price (“Exercise Price”) shall initially equal $1.94 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms hereof, including but not limited to Section 5 below.
Payment of the Exercise Price may be made by either of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Holder:
(i) Cash Exercise: The Holder may exercise this Warrant in cash, bank or cashier’s check, wire transfer or through a reduction of an amount of principal outstanding under any Notes (as defined in the Facility Agreement) in accordance with Section 2.3(d) of the Facility Agreement, then held by the Holder (a “Cash Exercise”); or
(ii) Cashless Exercise: The Holder, at its option, may exercise this Warrant in a cashless exercise transaction. In order to effect a Cashless Exercise, the Holder shall send to the Company at its principal office a notice of cashless election, in which event the Company shall issue Holder a number of Common Shares computed using the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):
X = Y (A-B)/A
where: X = the number of Common Shares to be issued to Holder.
Y = the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant is being Exercised.
A = the Market Price of one (1) share of Common Shares (for purposes of this Section 3(a)(ii), “Market Price,” as of any date, shall mean the Volume Weighted Average Price (as defined herein) of the Common Shares for the five (5) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding the date in question.
B = the Exercise Price.
As used herein, the “Volume Weighted Average Price” for any security during any period means the volume weighted average sale price on The NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) during such period as reported by, or based upon data reported by, Bloomberg Financial Markets or an equivalent, reliable reporting service mutually acceptable to and hereafter designated by holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants and the Company (“Bloomberg”) or, if NASDAQ is not the principal trading market for such security, the volume weighted average sale price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg during such period, or, if no volume weighted average sale price is reported for such security, then the last closing trade price of such security during such period as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no last closing trade price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the over the counter market by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or in the “pink sheets” by the Pink OTC Market, Inc. If the Volume Weighted Average Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the volume weighted average price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants being Exercised for which the calculation of the volume weighted average price is required in order to determine the Exercise Price of such Warrants. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Shares are traded for any period on NASDAQ, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Shares are then being traded.
For purposes of Rule 144 and sub-section (d)(3)(ii) thereof, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Common Shares issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant in a Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired at the time this Warrant was issued. Moreover, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the holding period for the Common Shares issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant in a Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have commenced on the date this Warrant was issued. As provided in Section 2(b), the Holder shall only be required to physically surrender this Warrant in the event that the Holder is exercising this Warrant in full.
(b) Cashless Major Exercise: To the extent the Holder shall exercise this Warrant as a Cashless Major Exercise pursuant to Section 5(c)(i) below, the Holder shall send to the Company the Exercise Form in the manner set forth in Section 2(a) indicating that the Holder is exercising this Warrant (or any portion thereof) pursuant to a Cashless Major Exercise, in which event the Company shall, at its election, either (i) issue a number of Common Shares equal to the Intrinsic Value (as determined in accordance with Schedule 1 attached hereto) (the “Intrinsic Value”) of the Warrant (or such applicable portion being exercised) divided by the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares for the five (5) Trading Day period immediately preceding the date on which the applicable Major Transaction is consummated, or (ii) redeem the Warrant (or such applicable portion) for an amount in cash equal to the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price (as defined below). The Company shall notify the Holder in writing within two (2) Business Days following receipt of the Exercise Form whether it is electing to treat such Major Transaction (or portion thereof) in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) above.
(c) Cashless Default Exercise. To the extent the Holder exercises this Warrant as a Cashless Default Exercise pursuant to Section 11(b)(i) below, the Holder shall send to the Company the Exercise Form in the manner set forth in Section 2(a) indicating that the Holder is exercising this Warrant pursuant to a Cashless Default Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder, within five (5) Trading Days of the applicable Default Notice, a number of Common Shares (which shares shall be valued at the Volume Weighted Average Price for the five (5) Trading Day period prior to the applicable Default Notice) equal to the greater of (A) the Black Scholes Value (as determined in accordance with Schedule 2 attached hereto) (the “Black Scholes Value”) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Default Notice (as defined below) and (B) the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that the Exercise Shares in respect of such Cashless Default Exercise are issued to the Holder. As provided in Section 2(b), the Holder shall only be required to physically surrender this Warrant in the event that the Holder is exercising this Warrant in full.
(d) Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the closing price or the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares or the arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price, Market Price or any Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price (as defined below), the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the Exercise Form or Major Transaction Early Termination Notice, or other event giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days thereafter submit via facsimile (i) the disputed determination of the closing price or the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price, Market Price or any Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price to the Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company shall use reasonable commercial best efforts to cause the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than five (5) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error, and the Company and the Holder shall each pay one-half of the fees and costs of such investment bank or accountant.
4. Transfer and Registration.
(a) Transfer Rights. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Warrant, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Company, in whole or in part, in person or by attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly completed and endorsed, provided, however, that in the event that the Holder is not the Initial Holder or an Affiliate of the Initial Holder, the assignment form provided for in Section 8 shall include a signature guarantee. This Warrant shall be canceled upon such surrender and, as soon as practicable thereafter, the person to whom such transfer is made shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant or Warrants as to the portion of this Warrant transferred, and Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant as to the portion hereof retained.
(b) Registrable Securities. The Common Shares issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant have registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.
5. Adjustments Upon Certain Events.
(a) | Reserved. |
(b) Recapitalization or Reclassification. If the Company shall at any time effect a stock split, payment of stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar transaction of such character that the Common Shares shall be changed into or become exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares, then upon the effective date thereof, the number of Common Shares which Holder shall be entitled to purchase upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease in the number of Common Shares by reason of such stock split, payment of stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or similar transaction, and the Exercise Price shall be, in the case of an increase in the number of shares, proportionally decreased and, in the case of decrease in the number of shares, proportionally increased. The Company shall give Holder the same notice it provides to holders of Common Shares of any transaction described in this Section 5(b).
(c) Rights Upon Major Transaction.
(i) Major Transaction. In the event that a Major Transaction (as defined below) occurs, then (1) in the case of a Cash-Out Major Transaction and in the case of a Mixed Major Transaction to the extent of the percentage of the cash consideration in the Mixed Major Transaction (determined in accordance with the definition of a Mixed Major Transaction below), the Holder, at its option, may require the Company to redeem the Holder’s outstanding Warrants in accordance with Section 5(c)(ii) below and (2) in the case of all other Major Transactions and in the case of a Mixed Major Transaction to the extent of the percentage of the consideration represented by securities of a Successor Entity in the Mixed Major Transaction, the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant as a Cashless Major Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall have the right to waive its rights under this Section 5(c) with respect to all or any portion of any Major Transaction, in which event none of the provisions of this Section 5(c)(i) with respect to such rights shall apply to such Major Transaction or portion thereof. Each of the following events shall constitute a “Major Transaction”:
(A) a consolidation, merger, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, business combination or other similar event, (1) following which the holders of Common Shares immediately preceding such consolidation, merger, exchange, recapitalization, reorganization, combination or event either (a) no longer hold a majority of the Common Shares or (b) no longer have the ability to elect a majority of the board of directors of the Company or (2) as a result of which Common Shares shall be changed into (or the Common Shares become entitled to receive) the same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes of shares or securities of the Company or another entity (collectively, a “Change of Control Transaction”);
(B) the sale or transfer of (i) all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or (ii) assets of the Company for a purchase price equal to more than 50% of the Enterprise Value (as defined below) of the Company. For purposes of this clause (B), “Enterprise Value” shall mean (I) the product of (x) the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares on the date the Company delivers the Major Transaction Notice (defined below) multiplied by (y) the per share closing price of the Common Shares on such date plus (II) the amount of the Company’s debt as shown on the latest financial statements filed with the SEC (the “Current Financial Statements”) less (III) the amount of cash and cash equivalents of the Company as shown on the Current Financial Statements;
(C) a purchase, tender or exchange offer made to and accepted by the requisite percentage of the holders of outstanding Common Shares, such that following such purchase, tender or exchange offer a Change of Control Transaction shall have occurred;
(D) the liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or winding-up (or the occurrence of any analogous proceeding) affecting the Company; or
(E) | the Common Shares cease to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. |
(ii) Notice; Major Transaction Early Termination Right; Notice of Cashless Major Exercise. At least thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of any Major Transaction, but, in any event, within five (5) Business Days following the first to occur of (x) the date of the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, or (y) the day following the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made on and after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Major Transaction Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Major Transaction Notice and ending five (5) Trading Days prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction (the “Early Termination Period”), the Holder may require the Company to redeem (an “Early Termination Upon Major Transaction”) all or any portion of this Warrant not eligible to be treated as a Cashless Major Exercise (without taking into consideration the 9.985% Cap) by delivering written notice thereof (“Major Transaction Early Termination Notice”) to the Company, which Major Transaction Early Termination Notice shall indicate the portion of the principal amount (the “Early Termination Principal Amount”) of the Warrant (by reference to the number of shares issuable upon a Cash Exercise of the Warrant) that the Holder is electing to have redeemed. The portion of this Warrant subject to early termination pursuant to this Section 5(c)(ii) (the “Redeemable Shares”), shall be redeemed by the Company at a price (the “Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price”) payable in cash equal to the Intrinsic Value of the Redeemable Shares determined in accordance with Schedule 1 hereto.
To the extent the Holder shall elect to effect a Cashless Major Exercise in respect of a Major Transaction, the Holder shall deliver its Exercise Form in accordance with Section 3(b), within the Early Termination Period.
For the avoidance of doubt, the rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder upon the occurrence of a Major Transaction are conditional upon such Major Transaction being consummated and in the event that Major Transaction for which the Holder is given notice is not consummated, all actions taken under this Section 5(c) shall be deemed to be rescinded and null and void and the Company shall return to the Holder the Warrant (if previously surrendered the Company in connection with an anticipated Major Transaction under this Section 5(c).
Following a Major Transaction that constitutes a Qualified Change of Control Transaction, any portion of this Warrant then remaining outstanding that has not been redeemed pursuant to Section 5(c)(i) or clause (ii) of Section 3(b) or Exercised (whether by Cash Exercise, Cashless Exercise, Cashless Major Exercise or otherwise) shall automatically and immediately convert into Common Shares, and shall be deemed to have been exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction.
(iii) Escrow; Payment of Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price. Following the receipt of a Major Transaction Early Termination Notice or a notice of Cashless Major Exercise from the Holder, the Company shall not effect a Major Transaction that is being treated as an early termination or is eligible to be treated as a Cashless Major Exercise unless it either (a) shall first place into an escrow account with an independent escrow agent, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the closing date of the Major Transaction (the “Major Transaction Escrow Deadline”), an amount in Common Shares or cash, as applicable, equal to the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price and/or applicable Exercise Shares or (b) obtains the written agreement of the Successor Entity that the payment of the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price shall be made to the Holder concurrently with the consummation of such Major Transaction or issuance by the Company of the applicable Exercise Shares shall be made to the Holder immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction, as applicable, and such issuance or payment shall be a condition precedent to consummation of such Major Transaction. The Company shall (i) concurrently upon closing of such Major Transaction, pay or instruct the escrow agent to pay the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price to the Holder or, (ii) immediately prior to the closing of such Major Transaction, deliver or instruct the escrow agent to deliver the applicable Exercise Shares to the Holder, as applicable. For purposes of determining the amount required to be placed in escrow pursuant to the provisions of this subsection (iii) and without affecting the amount of the actual Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price and/or applicable Exercise Shares, the calculation of the price referred to in clause (1) of the first column of Schedule 1 hereto with respect to Stock Price shall be determined based on the Applicable VWAP (as defined on Schedule I) during the five (5) Trading Day period immediately preceding the date that the funds and/or applicable Exercise Shares, as applicable, are deposited with the escrow agent.
(iv) Injunction. Following the receipt of a Major Transaction Early Termination Notice or notice of a Cashless Major Exercise from the Holder, in the event that the Company attempts to consummate a Major Transaction without either (a) placing the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price or applicable Exercise Shares, as applicable, in escrow in accordance with subsection (iii) above, (b) paying the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price or issuing of the applicable Exercise Shares, as applicable, to the Holder prior to consummation of such Major Transaction, or (c) obtaining the written agreement of the Successor Entity described in subsection (iii) above, the Holder shall have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan to prevent the closing of such Major Transaction until the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price is paid to the Holder, in full or the applicable Exercise Shares are delivered, as applicable.
An early termination required by this Section 5(c) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 and shall have priority to payments to holders of Common Shares in connection with a Major Transaction to the extent an early termination required by Section 5(c)(ii) is deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Warrant by the Company, such early termination shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, until the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price is paid in full, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Shares, or in the event the Exercise Date is after the consummation of the Major Transaction, shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity pursuant to Section 5(c). The parties hereto agree that in the event of the early termination of any portion of the Warrant under this Section 5(c), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any premium due under this Section 5(c) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.
For purposes hereof:
“Cash-Out Major Transaction” means a Major Transaction in which the consideration payable to holders of Common Shares in connection with the Major Transaction consists solely of cash.
“Cashless Default Exercise” shall mean an exercise of this Warrant as a “Cashless Default Exercise” in accordance with Section 3(c) and 11(b) hereof.
“Cashless Major Exercise” shall mean an exercise of this Warrant or portion thereof as a “Cashless Major Exercise” in accordance with Section 3(b) and 5(c)(i) hereof.
“Eligible Market” means the over the counter Bulletin Board, the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the NYSE Arca, the NASDAQ Capital Market, the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NYSE MKT or the TSX.
“Mixed Major Transaction” means a Major Transaction in which the consideration payable to the shareholders of the Company consists partially of cash and partially of securities of a Successor Entity. If the Successor Entity is a Publicly Traded Successor Entity, the percentage of consideration represented by securities of such Successor Entity shall be equal to the percentage that the value of the aggregate anticipated number of shares of the Publicly Traded Successor Entity to be issued to holders of Common Shares of the Company represents in comparison to the aggregate value of all consideration, including cash consideration, in such Mixed Major Transaction, as such values are set forth in any definitive agreement for the Mixed Major Transaction that has been executed at the time of the first public announcement of the Major Transaction or, if no such value is determinable from such definitive agreement, based on the closing market price for shares of the Publicly Traded Successor Entity on its principal securities exchange on the Trading Day preceding the first public announcement of the Mixed Major Transaction. If the Successor Entity is a Private Successor Entity, the percentage of consideration represented by securities of such Successor Entity shall be determined in good-faith by the Company's Board of Directors
“Parent Entity” of a Person means an entity that, directly or indirectly, controls the applicable Person and whose common stock or equivalent equity security is quoted or listed on an Eligible Market, or, if there is more than one such Person or Parent Entity, the Person or Parent Entity with the largest public market capitalization as of the date of consummation of a Major Transaction.
“Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity and a government or any department or agency thereof.
“Private Successor Entity” means a Successor Entity that is not a Publicly Traded Successor Entity.
“Publicly Traded Successor Entity” means a Successor Entity that is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market (as defined above).
“Successor Entity” means any Person purchasing the Company’s assets or Common Shares, or any successor entity resulting from such Major Transaction, or if the Warrant is to be exercisable for shares of capital stock of its Parent Entity (as defined above), its Parent Entity.
(d) Exercise Price Adjusted. As used in this Warrant, the term “Exercise Price” shall mean the purchase price per share specified in Section 3(a) of this Warrant, until the occurrence of an event stated in this Section 5 or otherwise set forth in this Warrant, and thereafter shall mean said price as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the provisions of said subsection. No adjustment made pursuant to any provision of this Section 5 shall have the net effect of increasing the Exercise Price in relation to the split adjusted and distribution adjusted price of the Common Shares.
(e) Adjustments: Additional Shares, Securities or Assets. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5 or otherwise, Holder shall, upon Exercise of this Warrant, become entitled to receive shares and/or other securities or assets (other than Common Shares) then, wherever appropriate, all references herein to Common Shares shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares and/or other securities or assets; and thereafter, to the extent that such shares and/or other securities have not been distributed to the Holder, the number of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 5.
(f) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice (an “Exercise Price Adjustment Notice”) setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like Warrant setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of Common Shares and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon Exercise of the Warrant. For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides an Exercise Price Adjustment Notice pursuant to this Section 5(f), upon the occurrence of any event that leads to an adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Holder would be entitled to receive a number of Exercise Shares based upon the new Exercise Price, as adjusted, for exercises occurring on or after the date of such adjustment, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the adjusted Exercise Price in the Exercise Form.
6. Fractional Interests.
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant, but on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder may purchase only a whole number of Common Shares. If, on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder would be entitled to a fractional share of Common Shares or a right to acquire a fractional share of Common Shares, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of Common Shares issuable upon Exercise shall be the next higher whole number of shares.
7. Reservation of Shares.
From and after the date hereof, the Company shall at all times reserve for issuance such number of authorized and unissued Common Shares (or other securities substituted therefor as herein above provided) as shall be sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price. If at any time the number of Common Shares authorized and reserved for issuance is below the number of shares sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant (a “Share Authorization Failure”) (based on the Exercise Price in effect from time to time), the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of shareholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company’s obligations under this Section 7, in the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, and using its best efforts to obtain shareholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares. The Company covenants and agrees that upon the Exercise of this Warrant, all Common Shares issuable upon such Exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of any Person. The Company covenants and agrees that all Common Shares issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be approved for listing on NASDAQ, or, if that is not the principal United States trading market for the Common Shares, such Eligible Market on which the Common Shares are traded or listed.
8. Restrictions on Transfer; TSX Restrictions.
(a) Registration or Exemption Required. This Warrant has been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Regulation D and exempt from state registration or qualification under applicable state laws. None of the Warrant, the Exercise Shares or Failure Payment Shares may be offered, sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or exercised except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws, which exemption may include, without limitation, if applicable, a so-called “4(1) and a half” transaction.
(b) Assignment. Subject to Section 8(a), the Holder may offer, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (a “Transfer”) this Warrant, in whole or in part; provided that the Holder may not Transfer any portion of this Warrant with respect to less than the lesser of (x) two hundred and fifty thousand (250,000) Warrant Shares (including for purposes of determining whether clause (x) has been satisfied with respect to a Transfer by the Initial Holder, the Transfer by the Initial Holder or any Affiliate of the Initial Holder of any Warrants issued pursuant to Section 2.10 of the Facility Agreement) or (y) all remaining Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant; and, provided further, that for so long as the Common Shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), the Holder may not Transfer any portion of this Warrant to any person or entity to the extent that, assuming a Cash Exercise by such transferee of the transferred portion of the Warrant immediately following such transfer (without regard to the 9.985% Cap), the beneficial ownership (determined with reference to Section 90 of the Securities Act (Ontario)) of Common Shares of such transferee would exceed 9.99% of the total number of Common Shares of the Company then issued and outstanding (the “TSX Transfer Restriction”). In connection with any such Transfer of this Warrant, the Holder shall deliver a written notice to Company, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B, indicating the Person or Persons to whom the Warrant shall be assigned and the respective number of warrants to be assigned to each assignee, together, if applicable, with the legal opinion referenced below. In addition, in connection with the Transfer of this Warrant (or any portion thereof), at a time that the Common Shares are traded on the TSX, the Holder shall obtain a Transferee Representation Letter substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E hereto (the “Transferee Representation Letter”). The Company shall effect the assignment within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such written notice (the “Transfer Delivery Period”) and, if applicable, Transferee Representation Letter, and shall deliver to the assignee(s) designated by Holder a Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and terms for the appropriate number of shares, and shall deliver to the assignor a Warrant for the number of shares, if any, with respect to which the Warrant had not been assigned. Such Warrants shall bear any legends required by this Warrant, the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. This Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant, and shall be enforceable by any such Holder. For avoidance of doubt: (1) in the event Holder notifies the Company that such Transfer is being made in a so called “4(1) and a half” transaction, the parties hereto agree that an opinion of outside counsel for the Holder of recognized standing, or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Company, delivered to counsel for the Company substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C shall be the only evidence required by the Company in order to effect such Transfer in such “4(1) and a half” transaction and (2) for purposes of determining whether the TSX Transfer Restriction has been complied with, the Holder shall be entitled to rely, without independent investigation, upon the representations set forth in the Transferee Representation Letter.
(c) PIF Submission. In connection with the issuance of this Warrant, the relevant Affiliate of the Initial Holder has submitted to the TSX a completed and executed Personal Information Form (“PIF”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Initial Holder shall not be permitted to effect a Cash Exercise or a Cashless Exercise hereunder prior to receipt of a written communication (including, without limitation, an email communication) from the appropriate branch of the TSX indicating that the TSX is satisfied with the PIF (such communication to be hereinafter referred to as the “TSX PIF Approval”). For the avoidance of doubt, regardless of whether the TSX PIF Approval has been obtained, the Initial Holder shall be permitted to Transfer this Warrant, in whole or in part, at any time pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8.
9. Noncircumvention.
The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be reasonably required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any Common Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.
10. Events of Failure.
(a) Definition.
The occurrence of each of the following shall be considered to be an “Event of Failure.”
(i) A Delivery Failure occurs, where a “Delivery Failure” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to use its best efforts to deliver Exercise Shares to the Holder within any applicable Delivery Period;
(ii) A Legend Removal Failure occurs, where a “Legend Removal Failure” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to use its best efforts to issue this Warrant and/or Exercise Shares without a restrictive legend, or fails to use its best efforts to remove a restrictive legend, when and as required under Section 2(e) hereof;
(iii) a Transfer Delivery Failure occurs, where a “Transfer Delivery Failure” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to use its best efforts to deliver a Warrant within any applicable Transfer Delivery Period; and
(iv) a Registration Failure (as defined below).
For purpose hereof, “Registration Failure” means that (A) the Company fails to file with the SEC on or before the Filing Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) any Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement, (B) the Company fails to use best efforts to obtain effectiveness with the SEC, prior to the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), and if such Registration Statement is not so filed prior to the Registration Deadline, as soon as possible thereafter, of any Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) that is required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement, or fails to use best efforts to keep such Registration Statement current and effective as required in Section 3 of the Registration Rights Agreement, (C) The Company fails to file any additional Registration Statements required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) of the Registration Rights Agreement on or before the Additional Filing Deadline or fails to use best efforts to cause such new Registration Statement to become effective on or before the Additional Registration Deadline, and if such effectiveness does not occur within such period, as soon as possible thereafter, (D) the Company fails to file any amendment to any Registration Statement, or any additional Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement within thirty (30) days of the applicable Registration Trigger Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), or fails to use best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective within ninety (90) days of the applicable Registration Trigger Date, and, if such effectiveness does not occur within such period, as soon as possible thereafter, (E) any Registration Statement required to be filed under the Registration Rights Agreement, after its initial effectiveness and during the Registration Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), lapses in effect or sales of all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) cannot otherwise be made thereunder (whether by reason of the Company’s failure to amend or supplement the prospectus included therein in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company’s failure to file and, use best efforts to obtain effectiveness with the SEC of an additional Registration Statement or amended Registration Statement required pursuant to Sections 2(a)(ii) or 3(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement, as applicable, or otherwise), and (F) the Company fails to provide a commercially reasonable written response to any comments to any Registration Statement submitted by the SEC within twenty (20) days of the date that such SEC comments are received by the Company.
(b) Failure Payments; Determination. The Company understands that any Event of Failure (as defined above) could result in economic loss to the Holder. In the event that any Event of Failure occurs, as compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Holder an amount payable, at the Company’s option, either (i) in cash or (ii) in Common Shares that are valued for these purposes at the Volume Weighted Average Price during the five (5) Trading Day period immediately preceding the date of the Failure Delivery Date (as defined below) (“Failure Payments”) (which shares can be issued pursuant to a registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, at the option of the Company), in each case equal to 18% per annum (or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less) of the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Failure Delivery Date (as recalculated on the first Business Day of each month thereafter for as long as Failure Payments shall continue to accrue), which shall accrue daily from the date of such Event of Failure until the Event of Failure is cured, compounded monthly, provided, however, the Holder shall only receive up to such amount of Common Shares in respect of Failure Payments such that Holder and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Shares would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) shall not collectively beneficially own greater than 9.985% of the total number of Common Shares of the Company then issued and outstanding. For purposes of clarification, it is agreed and understood that Failure Payments shall continue to accrue following any Event of Default until the applicable Default Amount is paid in full.
Notwithstanding the above, in the event that the Company has failed to use best efforts to obtain effectiveness with the SEC of a Registration Statement and (i) has, by the Filing Deadline (as defined the Registration Rights Agreement) filed such Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the number of shares required by the Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) has responded in writing to any comments to the Registration Statement that the Company has received from the SEC, within seven (7) Business Days of such receipt, and nevertheless the SEC has not declared effective a Registration Statement covering the full number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants by the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) then, the Failure Payments attributable to such late Registration Effectiveness shall be reduced from 18% to 15% (calculated as set forth above). The Company shall satisfy any Failure Payments under this Section pursuant to Section 10(c) below. Failure Payments are in addition to any Shares that the Holder is entitled to receive upon Exercise of this Warrant.
(c) Payment of Accrued Failure Payments. The Common Shares or cash in satisfaction of the accrued Failure Payment shall be issued and delivered or paid, as the case may be, on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day of each month following a month in which Failure Payments accrued (such date of delivery the “Failure Delivery Date”). Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages (to the extent in excess of the Failure Payments) for the Company’s Event of Failure, and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). Notwithstanding the above, if a particular Event of Failure results in an Event of Default pursuant to Section 11 hereof, then the Failure Payment, for that Event of Failure only, shall be considered to have been satisfied upon payment to the Holder of an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Failure Payment, or (ii) the Default Amount, payable in accordance with Section 11.
(d) Maximum Interest Rate. Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Holder and thus refunded to the Company.
11. Default.
(a) Events Of Default. Each of the following events shall be considered to be an “Event of Default,” unless waived by the Holder:
(i) Failure To Effect Registration. With respect to all Registration Failures, a Registration Failure occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than thirty (30) days (or forty-five (45) days in the case where the Company (i) has, by the Filing Deadline (as defined the Registration Rights Agreement) filed a Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering this Warrant and the number of shares required by the Registration Rights Agreement, and (ii) has responded in writing to any comments to the Registration Statement that the Company has received from the SEC, within seven (7) Business Days of such receipt, and nevertheless the SEC has not declared effective a Registration Statement covering this Warrant and the Shares by the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)), and such Registration Failure relates solely to the Company’s failure to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and with respect to a Registration Failure provided in clause (E) of the definition of “Registration Failure”, such Registration Failure occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than forty-five (45) days.
(ii) Failure To Deliver Common Shares. A Delivery Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than twenty (20) days; or at any time the Company announces or states in writing that it will not honor its obligations to issue Common Shares to the Holder upon Exercise by the Holder of the Exercise rights of the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.
(iii) Legend Removal Failure. A Legend Removal Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period of twenty (20) days.
(iv) Transfer Delivery Failure. Transfer Delivery Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period of twenty (20) days; and
(v) Corporate Existence; Major Transaction. (A) The Company has failed to place the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price or the Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of a Cashless Major Exercise, as the case may be, into escrow or obtain the written agreement of the Successor Entity as described in Section 5(c)(ii), or the Company has failed to instruct the escrow agent to release such amount or such shares, as the case may be, to the Holder pursuant to Section 5(c)(ii), or (B) the Company has failed to obtain the written agreement of the Successor Entity as described in Section 5(c)(ii).
(b) Mandatory Early Termination.
(i) Mandatory Early Termination Amount; Cashless Default Exercise. If any Events of Default shall occur then, unless waived by the Holder, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, at the option of the Holder, such option exercisable through the delivery of written notice to the Company by such Holder (the “Default Notice”), the Company shall have the right to terminate the outstanding amount of this Warrant and pay to the Holder (a “Mandatory Early Termination”), in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Holder within two (2) Business Days following receipt of the Default Notice, an amount payable in cash (the “Mandatory Early Termination Amount” or the “Default Amount”) equal to the greater of (i) the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Default Notice and (ii) the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that the Mandatory Early Termination Amount is paid to the Holder. In the event the Company does not exercise its right to consummate a Mandatory Early Termination, then the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant pursuant to a Cashless Default Exercise in accordance with Section 3(c) above.
The Mandatory Early Termination Amount shall be payable within five (5) Business Days following the date of the applicable Default Notice.
(ii) Liquidated Damages. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the sums payable as Failure Payments or pursuant to a Mandatory Early Termination shall give rise to liquidated damages and not penalties. The parties further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred by the Holder is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified bear a reasonable proportion and are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be incurred by the Holder, and (iii) the parties are sophisticated business parties and have been represented by sophisticated and able legal and financial counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm’s length.
The Default Amount, together with all other amounts payable hereunder, shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.
(c) Posting Of Bond. In the event that any Event of Default occurs hereunder, the Company may not raise as a legal defense (in any Lawsuit, as defined below, or otherwise) or justification to such Event of Default any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless the Company has posted a surety bond (a “Surety Bond”) for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 130% of the aggregate Surety Bond Value (as defined below) of all of the Holder’s Warrants (the “Bond Amount”), which Surety Bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment.
For purposes hereof, a “Lawsuit” shall mean any lawsuit, arbitration or other dispute resolution filed by either party herein pertaining to any of this Warrant, the Facility Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
“Surety Bond Value,” for the Warrants shall mean 130% of the of the Black-Scholes Value (as determined in accordance with Bloomberg OV function) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that such bond goes into effect.
(d) Injunction and Posting of Bond. In the event that the Event of Default referred to in subsection (c) above pertains to the Company’s failure to deliver unlegended Common Shares to the Holder pursuant to a Warrant Exercise, legend removal request, or otherwise, the Company may not refuse such unlegended share delivery based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless an injunction from a court, on prior notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining Exercise of all or part of said Warrant shall have been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company has posted a Surety Bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of the Bond Amount, which Surety Bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment.
(e) Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches And Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant, the Facility Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
12. Holder’s Early Terminations; TSX Notice.
(a) Mechanics of Holder’s Early Terminations. In the event that the Company does not deliver the applicable Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price or Default Amount or the Exercise Shares in respect of a Cashless Major Exercise or a Cashless Default Exercise, as the case may be, to the Holder within the time period or as otherwise required pursuant to the terms hereof, at any time thereafter by notice to the Company made by electronic mail or facsimile prior to receipt by the Holder of such Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price or Default Amount or Exercise Shares, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of early termination, Cashless Major Exercise or Cashless Default Exercise, as the case may be, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Warrant that was submitted for early termination or exercise. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable early termination or exercise, as the case may be, shall be null and void with respect to such applicable portion of this Warrant, and (y) the Company shall immediately return this Warrant, or issue a new Warrant to the Holder representing the portion of this Warrant that was submitted for early termination or exercise. The Holder’s delivery of a notice voiding an early termination or exercise and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments of Failure Payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Warrant subject to such notice.
(b) TSX Notice of Certain Payments and Issuances. Prior to any (i) issuance of Exercise Shares pursuant to a Cashless Default Exercise, (ii) payment of Default Amounts, (iii) issuance of Common Shares in satisfaction of accrued Failure Payments or (iv) payment of cash in satisfaction of accrued Failure Payments, the Company shall deliver to the TSX a letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto (the “TSX Letter”), notifying the TSX of such payment or issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure by the Company to deliver the TSX Letter shall in no way diminish the Company’s obligations to make such payments or issuances.
13. Benefits of this Warrant.
Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to confer upon any person other than the Company and Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Warrant and this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and Holder.
14. Governing Law.
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury.

Warrant to Purchase Common Shares
of
IMRIS Inc.
THIS CERTIFIES that Deerfield Private Design International II, L.P. or any subsequent holder hereof (“Holder”) has the right to purchase from IMRIS Inc., a corporation incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act, (the “Company”), two million four hundred nine thousand five hundred (2,409,500) fully paid and nonassessable common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”), subject to adjustment as provided herein, at a price equal to the Exercise Price as defined in Section 3 below, at any time during the Term (as defined below).
Holder agrees with the Company that this Warrant to Purchase Common Shares of the Company (this “Warrant” or this “Agreement”) is issued and all rights hereunder shall be held subject to all of the conditions, limitations and provisions set forth herein.
1. Date of Issuance and Term.
This Warrant shall be deemed to be issued on September16, 2013 (“Date of Issuance”). The term of this Warrant begins on the Date of Issuance and ends at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is seven (7) years after the Date of Issuance (the “Term”). This Warrant was issued in conjunction with that certain Facility Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) and the Registration Rights Agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”) by and between the Company, and Deerfield Private Design Fund II, L.P., Deerfield Private Design International II, L.P., Deerfield Special Situations Fund, L.P. and Deerfield Special Situations International Master Fund, L.P., each dated September16, 2013, entered into in conjunction herewith.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not issue to the Holder, and the Holder may not acquire, a number of Common Shares upon exercise of this Warrant to the extent that, upon such exercise, the number of Common Shares then beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Shares would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) would exceed 9.985% of the total number of Common Shares then issued and outstanding (the “9.985% Cap”), provided, however, that the 9.985% Cap shall not apply with respect to the issuance of Common Shares pursuant to a Cashless Major Exercise (as defined below) in connection with a Major Transaction (as defined below) covered by the provisions of Section 5(c)(i)(A) below in which the Company is not the surviving entity (a “Qualified Change of Control Transaction”) to the extent that the number of shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates in the successor entity immediately following consummation of such Qualified Change of Control Transaction does not exceed 9.985% of the outstanding common stock of such successor entity and provided, further, that the 9.985% Cap shall only apply to the extent that the Common Shares are deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and the percentage held by the Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding. Each delivery of an Exercise Form by the Holder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined, based on the most recent public filings by the Company with the SEC (or any differing information received from the Company in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence), that the issuance of the full number of Common Shares requested in such Exercise Form is permitted under this paragraph.
“Affiliate” means any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a person or entity, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). With respect to a Holder of Warrants, any investment fund or managed account that is managed on a discretionary basis by the same investment manager as such Holder will be deemed to be an Affiliate of such Holder.
“Business Day” means any day on which both (a) the Common Shares are traded for at least two hours on NASDAQ, and (b) the Transfer Agent is open for business.
“Initial Holder” means Deerfield Private Design International II, L.P.
2. Exercise.
(a) Manner of Exercise. During the Term, this Warrant may be Exercised as to all or any lesser number of whole Common Shares covered hereby (the “Warrant Shares” or the “Shares”) by sending to the Company the Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Form”) duly completed and executed, together with, if applicable, the full Exercise Price (as defined below, which may be satisfied by a Cash Exercise or a Cashless Exercise, as each is defined below) for each share of Common Shares as to which this Warrant is Exercised, at the office of the Company, Xxxxx XxXxxxx; Phone: (000) 000-0000, Fax: (000) 000-0000, Email: xxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate in writing, by overnight mail, with an advance copy of the Exercise Form sent to the Company by facsimile or electronic mail (such exercise of the Warrant hereinafter called the “Exercise” of this Warrant).
(b) Date of Exercise. The “Date of Exercise” of the Warrant shall be defined as the date that the Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit A, duly completed and executed, is received by facsimile or electronic mail by the Company, provided that the Exercise Form is received by the Company and the Exercise Price (if applicable) is satisfied, each as soon as practicable thereafter but in any event no later than the close of business on the second Business Day thereafter. Alternatively, if Holder has not sent advance notice by facsimile or electronic mail, the Date of Exercise shall be defined as the date the original Exercise Form is received by the Company, provided that the Exercise Price, if applicable, is satisfied no later than the close of business on the second Business Day thereafter. Upon delivery of the Exercise Form to the Company by facsimile, electronic mail or otherwise, 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 such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be; provided, however, that (i) in the event of a Cashless Major Exercise in respect of a Qualified Change of Control Transaction, the Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the consummation of such Qualified Change of Control Transaction, (ii) in the event of a Cashless Major Exercise triggered by an event set forth in Section 5(c)(i)(E), the Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares issuable upon such exercise immediately following the occurrence of the Major Transaction and (iii) in the event that the Exercise Price (if applicable) is not satisfied by no later than the second Business Day following the delivery of the Exercise Form, as described above, the Holder shall not be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares until such time as the Exercise Price is received by the Company and the Company shall have no obligation to deliver such Warrant Shares until two (2) Business Days following the Company’s receipt of the full Exercise Price. The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within two (2) Business Days of the date the final Exercise Form is delivered to the Company. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Form and other required information with respect to a partial Exercise shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
(c) Delivery of Common Shares Upon Exercise. Within three (3) Business Days after any Date of Exercise or in the case of a Cashless Major Exercise or a Cashless Default Exercise (each as defined in Section 5(c) below), within the period provided in Section 5(c)(iv) or Section 3(c), as applicable (the “Delivery Period”), the Company shall issue and deliver (or cause its transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) to issue and deliver) in accordance with the terms hereof certificates representing that number of Common Shares (“Exercise Shares”) for the portion of this Warrant converted as shall be determined in accordance herewith. Upon the Exercise of this Warrant or any part hereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including obtaining and delivering an opinion of counsel, to assure that the Transfer Agent shall issue share certificates in the name of Holder (or its nominee) or such other persons as designated by Holder and in such denominations to be specified at Exercise representing the number of Common Shares issuable upon such Exercise. The Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the Transfer Agent and that, if the Unrestricted Conditions (as defined below) have been and continue to be met, unless waived by the Holder, this Warrant and the Exercise Shares will not be restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, may be freely transferred by non-affiliates (as such term is used in Rule 144 under the Securities Act), and certificates representing such securities will not be required to contain a legend restricting the resale or transferability of the Exercise Shares.
(d) Delivery Failure. In addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Exercise Shares by the end of the Delivery Period (a “Delivery Failure”), the Holder will be entitled, by notice to the Company made by electronic mail or facsimile prior to receipt by the Holder of the Exercise Shares, to revoke all or part of the relevant Exercise Form by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company in accordance with Section 2(a) whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of the Exercise Form, except that the liquidated damages described herein shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.
(e) Legends.
(i) Restrictive Legend. The Holder understands that until such time as this Warrant, the Exercise Shares and the Failure Payment Shares (as defined below) have been registered under the Securities Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, this Warrant, the Exercise Shares and the Failure Payment Shares, if any, will be restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act; may be offered, sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of only pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and in accordance with the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, a so-called “4(1) and a half” transaction, in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 below); and any certificate evidencing this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such securities):
“[THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF][THESE SECURITIES] HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF [OR EXERCISED] UNLESS (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS SHALL HAVE BECOME EFFECTIVE WITH REGARD THERETO, OR (II) AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS AVAILABLE IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH OFFER, SALE[,TRANSFER OR EXERCISE][OR TRANSFER].”
“THE SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 16, 2013, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN HOLDERS OF ITS OUTSTANDING SECURITIES. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”
The Holder further understands that until January 17, 2014, this Warrant and any certificate representing the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares will bear the following additional legends:
"UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE CANADIAN PROVINCIAL SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE JANUARY 17, 2014."
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE LISTED ON THE TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE (THE "TSX"); HOWEVER, THE SAID SECURITIES CANNOT BE TRADED THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF THE TSX SINCE THEY ARE NOT FREELY TRANSFERABLE, AND CONSEQUENTLY ANY CERTIFICATE REPRESENTING SUCH SECURITIES IS NOT 'GOOD DELIVERY' IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON THE TSX."
(ii) Removal of Restrictive Legends. This Warrant and the certificates evidencing the Exercise Shares and the Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, shall not contain any legend restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend set forth above in subsection 2(e)(i)): (A) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the sale or resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (B) following any sale of such Warrant, Exercise Shares and/or Failure Payment Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (C) if such Warrant, Exercise Shares and/or Failure Payment Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1), or (D) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) and the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel of the Holder to such effect (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the Effective Date, or at such other time as the Unrestricted Conditions have been met, if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the issuance of this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, without a restrictive legend or removal of the legends required hereunder, provided, however, that in connection with a legend removal request arising under clause (C) or (D) above, the Holder shall deliver to the Company a letter, signature guaranteed, substantially in the form of Exhibit D. If the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the time of issuance of this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares, then such Exercise Shares or Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions are met or such legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 2(e), it will, no later than three (3) Business Days following the delivery (the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Deadline”) by the Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of this Warrant and a certificate representing Exercise Shares and/or Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder this Warrant and/or a certificate (or electronic transfer) representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. For purposes hereof, “Effective Date” shall mean the date that the Registration Statement, that the Company is required to file pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, has been declared effective by the SEC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that for any reason the Unrestricted Conditions shall cease to apply to this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares, then upon notice provided by the Company to the Holder to such effect, the Holder shall promptly return the applicable certificates for this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares to the Transfer Agent, which shall re-issue such certificates bearing the legends contemplated in Section 2(e)(i), and such legends shall remain on such certificates for so long as the Unrestricted Conditions continue to not be met.
(iii) Sale of Unlegended Shares. Holder agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from this Warrant and any certificates representing the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares as set forth in Section 2(e) above is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Holder will sell this Warrant or any Exercise Shares and/or any Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.
(f) Cancellation of Warrant. This Warrant shall be canceled upon the full Exercise of this Warrant, and, as soon as practical after the Date of Exercise, Holder shall be entitled to receive Exercise Shares for the number of shares purchased upon such Exercise of this Warrant, and if this Warrant is not Exercised in full, Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant (containing terms identical to this Warrant) representing any unexercised portion of this Warrant in addition to such Common Shares upon return to the Company of the original Warrant for cancellation; provided, however, as set forth in Section 2(b), Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this warrant if the Warrant is not Exercised in full.
(g) Holder of Record. Each person in whose name this Warrant is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be the Holder of record of such shares on the Date of Exercise of this Warrant, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Common Shares purchased upon the Exercise of this Warrant. Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder any rights as a stockholder of the Company. Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder any rights as stockholder of the Company.
(h) Delivery of Electronic Shares. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Shares issuable upon Exercise or legend removal, or representing Failure Payment Shares, provided the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon written request of the Holder, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its Transfer Agent to electronically transmit the Common Shares issuable upon Exercise to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system. The time periods for delivery and penalties described herein shall apply to the electronic transmittals described herein. Any delivery not effected by electronic transmission shall be effected by deliver by physical certificates. Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder any rights as stockholder of the Company.
(i) Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates, or electronic shares through DWAC, representing the Exercise Shares pursuant to an Exercise on or before the end of the Delivery Period (provided that the Exercise Price, if applicable, has been satisfied as provided in Section 2(b) hereof), other than a failure caused by any incorrect or incomplete information provided by Holder to the Company hereunder, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Exercise Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such Exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Exercise Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the Exercise at issue times and (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, by notice to the Company made by electronic mail or facsimile prior to receipt by the Holder of the Exercise Shares, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Exercise Shares for which such Exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of Common Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its Exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted Exercise to cover the sale of Common Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing Common Shares upon Exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(j) Additional Representation. Unless the Holder shall have delivered a Representation Notice (as defined below) in connection therewith, each delivery of an Exercise Form in connection with a Cash Exercise shall constitute a representation that upon such Cash Exercise, the Holder will acquire the Warrant Shares as principal for its own account, for investment purposes only, and not with a view towards, the sale or distribution of the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that no such representations shall be construed as constituting an agreement by the Holder to hold any of the Warrant Shares for any minimum or other specific term and the Holder shall reserve the right to dispose of such Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. In addition, unless the Holder shall have delivered a Representation Notice (as defined below) in connection therewith, each delivery of an Exercise Form in connection with a Cash Exercise shall constitute a representation that, as of the date of such Cash Exercise, the Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act. If the Holder is unable to make the representations set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 2(j) at the time it delivers its Exercise Form in respect of a Cash Exercise, the Holder shall notify the Company in writing that it is not making such representations (a “Representation Notice”). If the Holder delivers a Representation Notice in connection with a Cash Exercise, it shall be a condition to the Holder’s Cash Exercise of this Warrant that the Company receive such other representations as the Company considers reasonably necessary to assure the Company that the issuance of Warrant Shares upon such Cash Exercise of this Warrant shall not violate any United States or state securities laws.
3. Payment of Warrant Exercise Price for Cash Exercise or Cashless Exercise; Cashless Major Exercise and Cashless Default Exercise.
(a) Exercise Price. The Exercise Price (“Exercise Price”) shall initially equal $1.94 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms hereof, including but not limited to Section 5 below.
Payment of the Exercise Price may be made by either of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Holder:
(i) Cash Exercise: The Holder may exercise this Warrant in cash, bank or cashier’s check, wire transfer or through a reduction of an amount of principal outstanding under any Notes (as defined in the Facility Agreement) in accordance with Section 2.3(d) of the Facility Agreement, then held by the Holder (a “Cash Exercise”); or
(ii) Cashless Exercise: The Holder, at its option, may exercise this Warrant in a cashless exercise transaction. In order to effect a Cashless Exercise, the Holder shall send to the Company at its principal office a notice of cashless election, in which event the Company shall issue Holder a number of Common Shares computed using the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):
X = Y (A-B)/A
where: X = the number of Common Shares to be issued to Holder.
Y = the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant is being Exercised.
A = the Market Price of one (1) share of Common Shares (for purposes of this Section 3(a)(ii), “Market Price,” as of any date, shall mean the Volume Weighted Average Price (as defined herein) of the Common Shares for the five (5) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding the date in question.
B = the Exercise Price.
As used herein, the “Volume Weighted Average Price” for any security during any period means the volume weighted average sale price on The NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) during such period as reported by, or based upon data reported by, Bloomberg Financial Markets or an equivalent, reliable reporting service mutually acceptable to and hereafter designated by holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants and the Company (“Bloomberg”) or, if NASDAQ is not the principal trading market for such security, the volume weighted average sale price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg during such period, or, if no volume weighted average sale price is reported for such security, then the last closing trade price of such security during such period as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no last closing trade price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the over the counter market by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or in the “pink sheets” by the Pink OTC Market, Inc. If the Volume Weighted Average Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the volume weighted average price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants being Exercised for which the calculation of the volume weighted average price is required in order to determine the Exercise Price of such Warrants. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Shares are traded for any period on NASDAQ, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Shares are then being traded.
For purposes of Rule 144 and sub-section (d)(3)(ii) thereof, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Common Shares issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant in a Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired at the time this Warrant was issued. Moreover, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the holding period for the Common Shares issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant in a Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have commenced on the date this Warrant was issued. As provided in Section 2(b), the Holder shall only be required to physically surrender this Warrant in the event that the Holder is exercising this Warrant in full.
(b) Cashless Major Exercise: To the extent the Holder shall exercise this Warrant as a Cashless Major Exercise pursuant to Section 5(c)(i) below, the Holder shall send to the Company the Exercise Form in the manner set forth in Section 2(a) indicating that the Holder is exercising this Warrant (or any portion thereof) pursuant to a Cashless Major Exercise, in which event the Company shall, at its election, either (i) issue a number of Common Shares equal to the Intrinsic Value (as determined in accordance with Schedule 1 attached hereto) (the “Intrinsic Value”) of the Warrant (or such applicable portion being exercised) divided by the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares for the five (5) Trading Day period immediately preceding the date on which the applicable Major Transaction is consummated, or (ii) redeem the Warrant (or such applicable portion) for an amount in cash equal to the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price (as defined below). The Company shall notify the Holder in writing within two (2) Business Days following receipt of the Exercise Form whether it is electing to treat such Major Transaction (or portion thereof) in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) above.
(c) Cashless Default Exercise. To the extent the Holder exercises this Warrant as a Cashless Default Exercise pursuant to Section 11(b)(i) below, the Holder shall send to the Company the Exercise Form in the manner set forth in Section 2(a) indicating that the Holder is exercising this Warrant pursuant to a Cashless Default Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder, within five (5) Trading Days of the applicable Default Notice, a number of Common Shares (which shares shall be valued at the Volume Weighted Average Price for the five (5) Trading Day period prior to the applicable Default Notice) equal to the greater of (A) the Black Scholes Value (as determined in accordance with Schedule 2 attached hereto) (the “Black Scholes Value”) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Default Notice (as defined below) and (B) the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that the Exercise Shares in respect of such Cashless Default Exercise are issued to the Holder. As provided in Section 2(b), the Holder shall only be required to physically surrender this Warrant in the event that the Holder is exercising this Warrant in full.
(a) Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the closing price or the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares or the arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price, Market Price or any Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price (as defined below), the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the Exercise Form or Major Transaction Early Termination Notice, or other event giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days thereafter submit via facsimile (i) the disputed determination of the closing price or the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price, Market Price or any Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price to the Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company shall use reasonable commercial best efforts to cause the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than five (5) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error, and the Company and the Holder shall each pay one-half of the fees and costs of such investment bank or accountant.
4. Transfer and Registration.
(a) Transfer Rights. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Warrant, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Company, in whole or in part, in person or by attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly completed and endorsed, provided, however, that in the event that the Holder is not the Initial Holder or an Affiliate of the Initial Holder, the assignment form provided for in Section 8 shall include a signature guarantee. This Warrant shall be canceled upon such surrender and, as soon as practicable thereafter, the person to whom such transfer is made shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant or Warrants as to the portion of this Warrant transferred, and Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant as to the portion hereof retained.
(b) Registrable Securities. The Common Shares issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant have registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.
5. Adjustments Upon Certain Events.
(a) Reserved.
(b) Recapitalization or Reclassification. If the Company shall at any time effect a stock split, payment of stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar transaction of such character that the Common Shares shall be changed into or become exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares, then upon the effective date thereof, the number of Common Shares which Holder shall be entitled to purchase upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease in the number of Common Shares by reason of such stock split, payment of stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or similar transaction, and the Exercise Price shall be, in the case of an increase in the number of shares, proportionally decreased and, in the case of decrease in the number of shares, proportionally increased. The Company shall give Holder the same notice it provides to holders of Common Shares of any transaction described in this Section 5(b).
(c) Rights Upon Major Transaction.
(i) Major Transaction. In the event that a Major Transaction (as defined below) occurs, then (1) in the case of a Cash-Out Major Transaction and in the case of a Mixed Major Transaction to the extent of the percentage of the cash consideration in the Mixed Major Transaction (determined in accordance with the definition of a Mixed Major Transaction below), the Holder, at its option, may require the Company to redeem the Holder’s outstanding Warrants in accordance with Section 5(c)(ii) below and (2) in the case of all other Major Transactions and in the case of a Mixed Major Transaction to the extent of the percentage of the consideration represented by securities of a Successor Entity in the Mixed Major Transaction, the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant as a Cashless Major Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall have the right to waive its rights under this Section 5(c) with respect to all or any portion of any Major Transaction, in which event none of the provisions of this Section 5(c)(i) with respect to such rights shall apply to such Major Transaction or portion thereof. Each of the following events shall constitute a “Major Transaction”:
(A) a consolidation, merger, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, business combination or other similar event, (1) following which the holders of Common Shares immediately preceding such consolidation, merger, exchange, recapitalization, reorganization, combination or event either (a) no longer hold a majority of the Common Shares or (b) no longer have the ability to elect a majority of the board of directors of the Company or (2) as a result of which Common Shares shall be changed into (or the Common Shares become entitled to receive) the same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes of shares or securities of the Company or another entity (collectively, a “Change of Control Transaction”);
(B) the sale or transfer of (i) all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or (ii) assets of the Company for a purchase price equal to more than 50% of the Enterprise Value (as defined below) of the Company. For purposes of this clause (B), “Enterprise Value” shall mean (I) the product of (x) the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares on the date the Company delivers the Major Transaction Notice (defined below) multiplied by (y) the per share closing price of the Common Shares on such date plus (II) the amount of the Company’s debt as shown on the latest financial statements filed with the SEC (the “Current Financial Statements”) less (III) the amount of cash and cash equivalents of the Company as shown on the Current Financial Statements;
(C) a purchase, tender or exchange offer made to and accepted by the requisite percentage of the holders of outstanding Common Shares, such that following such purchase, tender or exchange offer a Change of Control Transaction shall have occurred;
(D) the liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or winding-up (or the occurrence of any analogous proceeding) affecting the Company; or
(E) the Common Shares cease to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
(ii) Notice; Major Transaction Early Termination Right; Notice of Cashless Major Exercise. At least thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of any Major Transaction, but, in any event, within five (5) Business Days following the first to occur of (x) the date of the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, or (y) the day following the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made on and after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Major Transaction Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Major Transaction Notice and ending five (5) Trading Days prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction (the “Early Termination Period”), the Holder may require the Company to redeem (an “Early Termination Upon Major Transaction”) all or any portion of this Warrant not eligible to be treated as a Cashless Major Exercise (without taking into consideration the 9.985% Cap) by delivering written notice thereof (“Major Transaction Early Termination Notice”) to the Company, which Major Transaction Early Termination Notice shall indicate the portion of the principal amount (the “Early Termination Principal Amount”) of the Warrant (by reference to the number of shares issuable upon a Cash Exercise of the Warrant) that the Holder is electing to have redeemed. The portion of this Warrant subject to early termination pursuant to this Section 5(c)(ii) (the “Redeemable Shares”), shall be redeemed by the Company at a price (the “Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price”) payable in cash equal to the Intrinsic Value of the Redeemable Shares determined in accordance with Schedule 1 hereto.
To the extent the Holder shall elect to effect a Cashless Major Exercise in respect of a Major Transaction, the Holder shall deliver its Exercise Form in accordance with Section 3(b), within the Early Termination Period.
For the avoidance of doubt, the rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder upon the occurrence of a Major Transaction are conditional upon such Major Transaction being consummated and in the event that Major Transaction for which the Holder is given notice is not consummated, all actions taken under this Section 5(c) shall be deemed to be rescinded and null and void and the Company shall return to the Holder the Warrant (if previously surrendered the Company in connection with an anticipated Major Transaction under this Section 5(c).
Following a Major Transaction that constitutes a Qualified Change of Control Transaction, any portion of this Warrant then remaining outstanding that has not been redeemed pursuant to Section 5(c)(i) or clause (ii) of Section 3(b) or Exercised (whether by Cash Exercise, Cashless Exercise, Cashless Major Exercise or otherwise) shall automatically and immediately convert into Common Shares, and shall be deemed to have been exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction.
(iii) Escrow; Payment of Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price. Following the receipt of a Major Transaction Early Termination Notice or a notice of Cashless Major Exercise from the Holder, the Company shall not effect a Major Transaction that is being treated as an early termination or is eligible to be treated as a Cashless Major Exercise unless it either (a) shall first place into an escrow account with an independent escrow agent, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the closing date of the Major Transaction (the “Major Transaction Escrow Deadline”), an amount in Common Shares or cash, as applicable, equal to the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price and/or applicable Exercise Shares or (b) obtains the written agreement of the Successor Entity that the payment of the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price shall be made to the Holder concurrently with the consummation of such Major Transaction or issuance by the Company of the applicable Exercise Shares shall be made to the Holder immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction, as applicable, and such issuance or payment shall be a condition precedent to consummation of such Major Transaction. The Company shall (i) concurrently upon closing of such Major Transaction, pay or instruct the escrow agent to pay the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price to the Holder or, (ii) immediately prior to the closing of such Major Transaction, deliver or instruct the escrow agent to deliver the applicable Exercise Shares to the Holder, as applicable. For purposes of determining the amount required to be placed in escrow pursuant to the provisions of this subsection (iii) and without affecting the amount of the actual Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price and/or applicable Exercise Shares, the calculation of the price referred to in clause (1) of the first column of Schedule 1 hereto with respect to Stock Price shall be determined based on the Applicable VWAP (as defined on Schedule I) during the five (5) Trading Day period immediately preceding the date that the funds and/or applicable Exercise Shares, as applicable, are deposited with the escrow agent.
(iv) Injunction. Following the receipt of a Major Transaction Early Termination Notice or notice of a Cashless Major Exercise from the Holder, in the event that the Company attempts to consummate a Major Transaction without either (a) placing the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price or applicable Exercise Shares, as applicable, in escrow in accordance with subsection (iii) above, (b) paying the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price or issuing of the applicable Exercise Shares, as applicable, to the Holder prior to consummation of such Major Transaction, or (c) obtaining the written agreement of the Successor Entity described in subsection (iii) above, the Holder shall have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan to prevent the closing of such Major Transaction until the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price is paid to the Holder, in full or the applicable Exercise Shares are delivered, as applicable.
An early termination required by this Section 5(c) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 and shall have priority to payments to holders of Common Shares in connection with a Major Transaction to the extent an early termination required by Section 5(c)(ii) is deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Warrant by the Company, such early termination shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, until the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price is paid in full, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Shares, or in the event the Exercise Date is after the consummation of the Major Transaction, shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity pursuant to Section 5(c). The parties hereto agree that in the event of the early termination of any portion of the Warrant under this Section 5(c), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any premium due under this Section 5(c) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.
For purposes hereof:
“Cash-Out Major Transaction” means a Major Transaction in which the consideration payable to holders of Common Shares in connection with the Major Transaction consists solely of cash.
“Cashless Default Exercise” shall mean an exercise of this Warrant as a “Cashless Default Exercise” in accordance with Section 3(c) and 11(b) hereof.

If the Successor Entity is a Publicly Traded Successor Entity, the percentage of consideration represented by securities of such Successor Entity shall be equal to the percentage that the value of the aggregate anticipated number of shares of the Publicly Traded Successor Entity to be issued to holders of Common Shares of the Company represents in comparison to the aggregate value of all consideration, including cash consideration, in such Mixed Major Transaction, as such values are set forth in any definitive agreement for the Mixed Major Transaction that has been executed at the time of the first public announcement of the Major Transaction or, if no such value is determinable from such definitive agreement, based on the closing market price for shares of the Publicly Traded Successor Entity on its principal securities exchange on the Trading Day preceding the first public announcement of the Mixed Major Transaction. If the Successor Entity is a Private Successor Entity, the percentage of consideration represented by securities of such Successor Entity shall be determined in good-faith by the Company's Board of Directors
“Parent Entity” of a Person means an entity that, directly or indirectly, controls the applicable Person and whose common stock or equivalent equity security is quoted or listed on an Eligible Market, or, if there is more than one such Person or Parent Entity, the Person or Parent Entity with the largest public market capitalization as of the date of consummation of a Major Transaction.
“Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity and a government or any department or agency thereof.
“Private Successor Entity” means a Successor Entity that is not a Publicly Traded Successor Entity.

“Successor Entity” means any Person purchasing the Company’s assets or Common Shares, or any successor entity resulting from such Major Transaction, or if the Warrant is to be exercisable for shares of capital stock of its Parent Entity (as defined above), its Parent Entity.
(d) Exercise Price Adjusted. As used in this Warrant, the term “Exercise Price” shall mean the purchase price per share specified in Section 3(a) of this Warrant, until the occurrence of an event stated in this Section 5 or otherwise set forth in this Warrant, and thereafter shall mean said price as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the provisions of said subsection. No adjustment made pursuant to any provision of this Section 5 shall have the net effect of increasing the Exercise Price in relation to the split adjusted and distribution adjusted price of the Common Shares.
(e) Adjustments: Additional Shares, Securities or Assets. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5 or otherwise, Holder shall, upon Exercise of this Warrant, become entitled to receive shares and/or other securities or assets (other than Common Shares) then, wherever appropriate, all references herein to Common Shares shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares and/or other securities or assets; and thereafter, to the extent that such shares and/or other securities have not been distributed to the Holder, the number of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 5.
(f) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice (an “Exercise Price Adjustment Notice”) setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like Warrant setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of Common Shares and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon Exercise of the Warrant. For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides an Exercise Price Adjustment Notice pursuant to this Section 5(f), upon the occurrence of any event that leads to an adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Holder would be entitled to receive a number of Exercise Shares based upon the new Exercise Price, as adjusted, for exercises occurring on or after the date of such adjustment, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the adjusted Exercise Price in the Exercise Form.
6. Fractional Interests.
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant, but on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder may purchase only a whole number of Common Shares. If, on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder would be entitled to a fractional share of Common Shares or a right to acquire a fractional share of Common Shares, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of Common Shares issuable upon Exercise shall be the next higher whole number of shares.
7. Reservation of Shares.
From and after the date hereof, the Company shall at all times reserve for issuance such number of authorized and unissued Common Shares (or other securities substituted therefor as herein above provided) as shall be sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price. If at any time the number of Common Shares authorized and reserved for issuance is below the number of shares sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant (a “Share Authorization Failure”) (based on the Exercise Price in effect from time to time), the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of shareholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company’s obligations under this Section 7, in the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, and using its best efforts to obtain shareholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares. The Company covenants and agrees that upon the Exercise of this Warrant, all Common Shares issuable upon such Exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of any Person. The Company covenants and agrees that all Common Shares issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be approved for listing on NASDAQ, or, if that is not the principal United States trading market for the Common Shares, such Eligible Market on which the Common Shares are traded or listed.
8. Restrictions on Transfer; TSX Restrictions.
(a) Registration or Exemption Required. This Warrant has been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Regulation D and exempt from state registration or qualification under applicable state laws. None of the Warrant, the Exercise Shares or Failure Payment Shares may be offered, sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or exercised except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws, which exemption may include, without limitation, if applicable, a so-called “4(1) and a half” transaction.
(b) Assignment. Subject to Section 8(a), the Holder may offer, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (a “Transfer”) this Warrant, in whole or in part; provided that the Holder may not Transfer any portion of this Warrant with respect to less than the lesser of (x) two hundred and fifty thousand (250,000) Warrant Shares (including for purposes of determining whether clause (x) has been satisfied with respect to a Transfer by the Initial Holder, the Transfer by the Initial Holder or any Affiliate of the Initial Holder of any Warrants issued pursuant to Section 2.10 of the Facility Agreement) or (y) all remaining Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant; and, provided further, that for so long as the Common Shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), the Holder may not Transfer any portion of this Warrant to any person or entity to the extent that, assuming a Cash Exercise by such transferee of the transferred portion of the Warrant immediately following such transfer (without regard to the 9.985% Cap), the beneficial ownership (determined with reference to Section 90 of the Securities Act (Ontario)) of Common Shares of such transferee would exceed 9.99% of the total number of Common Shares of the Company then issued and outstanding (the “TSX Transfer Restriction”). In connection with any such Transfer of this Warrant, the Holder shall deliver a written notice to Company, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B, indicating the Person or Persons to whom the Warrant shall be assigned and the respective number of warrants to be assigned to each assignee, together, if applicable, with the legal opinion referenced below. In addition, in connection with the Transfer of this Warrant (or any portion thereof), at a time that the Common Shares are traded on the TSX, the Holder shall obtain a Transferee Representation Letter substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E hereto (the “Transferee Representation Letter”). The Company shall effect the assignment within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such written notice (the “Transfer Delivery Period”) and, if applicable, Transferee Representation Letter, and shall deliver to the assignee(s) designated by Holder a Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and terms for the appropriate number of shares, and shall deliver to the assignor a Warrant for the number of shares, if any, with respect to which the Warrant had not been assigned. Such Warrants shall bear any legends required by this Warrant, the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. This Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant, and shall be enforceable by any such Holder. For avoidance of doubt: (1) in the event Holder notifies the Company that such Transfer is being made in a so called “4(1) and a half” transaction, the parties hereto agree that an opinion of outside counsel for the Holder of recognized standing, or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Company, delivered to counsel for the Company substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C shall be the only evidence required by the Company in order to effect such Transfer in such “4(1) and a half” transaction and (2) for purposes of determining whether the TSX Transfer Restriction has been complied with, the Holder shall be entitled to rely, without independent investigation, upon the representations set forth in the Transferee Representation Letter.
(c) PIF Submission. In connection with the issuance of this Warrant, the relevant Affiliate of the Initial Holder has submitted to the TSX a completed and executed Personal Information Form (“PIF”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Initial Holder shall not be permitted to effect a Cash Exercise or a Cashless Exercise hereunder prior to receipt of a written communication (including, without limitation, an email communication) from the appropriate branch of the TSX indicating that the TSX is satisfied with the PIF (such communication to be hereinafter referred to as the “TSX PIF Approval”). For the avoidance of doubt, regardless of whether the TSX PIF Approval has been obtained, the Initial Holder shall be permitted to Transfer this Warrant, in whole or in part, at any time pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8.
9. Noncircumvention.
The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be reasonably required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any Common Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.
10. Events of Failure.
(a) Definition.
The occurrence of each of the following shall be considered to be an “Event of Failure.”
(i) A Delivery Failure occurs, where a “Delivery Failure” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to use its best efforts to deliver Exercise Shares to the Holder within any applicable Delivery Period;
(ii) A Legend Removal Failure occurs, where a “Legend Removal Failure” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to use its best efforts to issue this Warrant and/or Exercise Shares without a restrictive legend, or fails to use its best efforts to remove a restrictive legend, when and as required under Section 2(e) hereof;
(iii) a Transfer Delivery Failure occurs, where a “Transfer Delivery Failure” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to use its best efforts to deliver a Warrant within any applicable Transfer Delivery Period; and
(iv) a Registration Failure (as defined below).
For purpose hereof, “Registration Failure” means that (A) the Company fails to file with the SEC on or before the Filing Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) any Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement, (B) the Company fails to use best efforts to obtain effectiveness with the SEC, prior to the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), and if such Registration Statement is not so filed prior to the Registration Deadline, as soon as possible thereafter, of any Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) that is required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement, or fails to use best efforts to keep such Registration Statement current and effective as required in Section 3 of the Registration Rights Agreement, (C) The Company fails to file any additional Registration Statements required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) of the Registration Rights Agreement on or before the Additional Filing Deadline or fails to use best efforts to cause such new Registration Statement to become effective on or before the Additional Registration Deadline, and if such effectiveness does not occur within such period, as soon as possible thereafter, (D) the Company fails to file any amendment to any Registration Statement, or any additional Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement within thirty (30) days of the applicable Registration Trigger Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), or fails to use best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective within ninety (90) days of the applicable Registration Trigger Date, and, if such effectiveness does not occur within such period, as soon as possible thereafter, (E) any Registration Statement required to be filed under the Registration Rights Agreement, after its initial effectiveness and during the Registration Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), lapses in effect or sales of all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) cannot otherwise be made thereunder (whether by reason of the Company’s failure to amend or supplement the prospectus included therein in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company’s failure to file and, use best efforts to obtain effectiveness with the SEC of an additional Registration Statement or amended Registration Statement required pursuant to Sections 2(a)(ii) or 3(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement, as applicable, or otherwise), and (F) the Company fails to provide a commercially reasonable written response to any comments to any Registration Statement submitted by the SEC within twenty (20) days of the date that such SEC comments are received by the Company.
(b) Failure Payments; Determination. The Company understands that any Event of Failure (as defined above) could result in economic loss to the Holder. In the event that any Event of Failure occurs, as compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Holder an amount payable, at the Company’s option, either (i) in cash or (ii) in Common Shares that are valued for these purposes at the Volume Weighted Average Price during the five (5) Trading Day period immediately preceding the date of the Failure Delivery Date (as defined below) (“Failure Payments”) (which shares can be issued pursuant to a registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, at the option of the Company), in each case equal to 18% per annum (or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less) of the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Failure Delivery Date (as recalculated on the first Business Day of each month thereafter for as long as Failure Payments shall continue to accrue), which shall accrue daily from the date of such Event of Failure until the Event of Failure is cured, compounded monthly, provided, however, the Holder shall only receive up to such amount of Common Shares in respect of Failure Payments such that Holder and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Shares would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) shall not collectively beneficially own greater than 9.985% of the total number of Common Shares of the Company then issued and outstanding. For purposes of clarification, it is agreed and understood that Failure Payments shall continue to accrue following any Event of Default until the applicable Default Amount is paid in full.
Notwithstanding the above, in the event that the Company has failed to use best efforts to obtain effectiveness with the SEC of a Registration Statement and (i) has, by the Filing Deadline (as defined the Registration Rights Agreement) filed such Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the number of shares required by the Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) has responded in writing to any comments to the Registration Statement that the Company has received from the SEC, within seven (7) Business Days of such receipt, and nevertheless the SEC has not declared effective a Registration Statement covering the full number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants by the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) then, the Failure Payments attributable to such late Registration Effectiveness shall be reduced from 18% to 15% (calculated as set forth above). The Company shall satisfy any Failure Payments under this Section pursuant to Section 10(c) below. Failure Payments are in addition to any Shares that the Holder is entitled to receive upon Exercise of this Warrant.
(c) Payment of Accrued Failure Payments. The Common Shares or cash in satisfaction of the accrued Failure Payment shall be issued and delivered or paid, as the case may be, on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day of each month following a month in which Failure Payments accrued (such date of delivery the “Failure Delivery Date”). Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages (to the extent in excess of the Failure Payments) for the Company’s Event of Failure, and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). Notwithstanding the above, if a particular Event of Failure results in an Event of Default pursuant to Section 11 hereof, then the Failure Payment, for that Event of Failure only, shall be considered to have been satisfied upon payment to the Holder of an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Failure Payment, or (ii) the Default Amount, payable in accordance with Section 11.
(d) Maximum Interest Rate. Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Holder and thus refunded to the Company.
11. Default.
(a) Events Of Default. Each of the following events shall be considered to be an “Event of Default,” unless waived by the Holder:
(i) Failure To Effect Registration. With respect to all Registration Failures, a Registration Failure occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than thirty (30) days (or forty-five (45) days in the case where the Company (i) has, by the Filing Deadline (as defined the Registration Rights Agreement) filed a Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering this Warrant and the number of shares required by the Registration Rights Agreement, and (ii) has responded in writing to any comments to the Registration Statement that the Company has received from the SEC, within seven (7) Business Days of such receipt, and nevertheless the SEC has not declared effective a Registration Statement covering this Warrant and the Shares by the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)), and such Registration Failure relates solely to the Company’s failure to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and with respect to a Registration Failure provided in clause (E) of the definition of “Registration Failure”, such Registration Failure occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than forty-five (45) days.
(ii) Failure To Deliver Common Shares. A Delivery Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than twenty (20) days; or at any time the Company announces or states in writing that it will not honor its obligations to issue Common Shares to the Holder upon Exercise by the Holder of the Exercise rights of the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.
(iii) Legend Removal Failure. A Legend Removal Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period of twenty (20) days.
(iv) Transfer Delivery Failure. Transfer Delivery Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period of twenty (20) days; and
(v) Corporate Existence; Major Transaction. (A) The Company has failed to place the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price or the Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of a Cashless Major Exercise, as the case may be, into escrow or obtain the written agreement of the Successor Entity as described in Section 5(c)(ii), or the Company has failed to instruct the escrow agent to release such amount or such shares, as the case may be, to the Holder pursuant to Section 5(c)(ii), or (B) the Company has failed to obtain the written agreement of the Successor Entity as described in Section 5(c)(ii).
(b) Mandatory Early Termination.
(i) Mandatory Early Termination Amount; Cashless Default Exercise. If any Events of Default shall occur then, unless waived by the Holder, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, at the option of the Holder, such option exercisable through the delivery of written notice to the Company by such Holder (the “Default Notice”), the Company shall have the right to terminate the outstanding amount of this Warrant and pay to the Holder (a “Mandatory Early Termination”), in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Holder within two (2) Business Days following receipt of the Default Notice, an amount payable in cash (the “Mandatory Early Termination Amount” or the “Default Amount”) equal to the greater of (i) the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Default Notice and (ii) the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that the Mandatory Early Termination Amount is paid to the Holder. In the event the Company does not exercise its right to consummate a Mandatory Early Termination, then the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant pursuant to a Cashless Default Exercise in accordance with Section 3(c) above.
The Mandatory Early Termination Amount shall be payable within five (5) Business Days following the date of the applicable Default Notice.
(ii) Liquidated Damages. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the sums payable as Failure Payments or pursuant to a Mandatory Early Termination shall give rise to liquidated damages and not penalties. The parties further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred by the Holder is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified bear a reasonable proportion and are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be incurred by the Holder, and (iii) the parties are sophisticated business parties and have been represented by sophisticated and able legal and financial counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm’s length.
The Default Amount, together with all other amounts payable hereunder, shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.
(c) Posting Of Bond. In the event that any Event of Default occurs hereunder, the Company may not raise as a legal defense (in any Lawsuit, as defined below, or otherwise) or justification to such Event of Default any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless the Company has posted a surety bond (a “Surety Bond”) for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 130% of the aggregate Surety Bond Value (as defined below) of all of the Holder’s Warrants (the “Bond Amount”), which Surety Bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment.
For purposes hereof, a “Lawsuit” shall mean any lawsuit, arbitration or other dispute resolution filed by either party herein pertaining to any of this Warrant, the Facility Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
“Surety Bond Value,” for the Warrants shall mean 130% of the of the Black-Scholes Value (as determined in accordance with Bloomberg OV function) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that such bond goes into effect.
(d) Injunction and Posting of Bond. In the event that the Event of Default referred to in subsection (c) above pertains to the Company’s failure to deliver unlegended Common Shares to the Holder pursuant to a Warrant Exercise, legend removal request, or otherwise, the Company may not refuse such unlegended share delivery based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless an injunction from a court, on prior notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining Exercise of all or part of said Warrant shall have been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company has posted a Surety Bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of the Bond Amount, which Surety Bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment.
(e) Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches And Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant, the Facility Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
12. Holder’s Early Terminations; TSX Notice.
(a) Mechanics of Holder’s Early Terminations. In the event that the Company does not deliver the applicable Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price or Default Amount or the Exercise Shares in respect of a Cashless Major Exercise or a Cashless Default Exercise, as the case may be, to the Holder within the time period or as otherwise required pursuant to the terms hereof, at any time thereafter by notice to the Company made by electronic mail or facsimile prior to receipt by the Holder of such Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price or Default Amount or Exercise Shares, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of early termination, Cashless Major Exercise or Cashless Default Exercise, as the case may be, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Warrant that was submitted for early termination or exercise. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable early termination or exercise, as the case may be, shall be null and void with respect to such applicable portion of this Warrant, and (y) the Company shall immediately return this Warrant, or issue a new Warrant to the Holder representing the portion of this Warrant that was submitted for early termination or exercise. The Holder’s delivery of a notice voiding an early termination or exercise and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments of Failure Payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Warrant subject to such notice.
(b) TSX Notice of Certain Payments and Issuances. Prior to any (i) issuance of Exercise Shares pursuant to a Cashless Default Exercise, (ii) payment of Default Amounts, (iii) issuance of Common Shares in satisfaction of accrued Failure Payments or (iv) payment of cash in satisfaction of accrued Failure Payments, the Company shall deliver to the TSX a letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto (the “TSX Letter”), notifying the TSX of such payment or issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure by the Company to deliver the TSX Letter shall in no way diminish the Company’s obligations to make such payments or issuances.
13. Benefits of this Warrant.
Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to confer upon any person other than the Company and Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Warrant and this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and Holder.
14. Governing Law.
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York.

If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

Upon receipt by the Company of evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date.

872,300 shares | Warrant Number 3 |
Warrant to Purchase
Common Shares
of
IMRIS Inc.
THIS CERTIFIES that Deerfield Special Situations Fund, L.P. or any subsequent holder hereof (“Holder”) has the right to purchase from IMRIS Inc., a corporation incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act, (the “Company”), eight hundred seventy-two thousand three hundred (872,300) fully paid and nonassessable common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”), subject to adjustment as provided herein, at a price equal to the Exercise Price as defined in Section 3 below, at any time during the Term (as defined below).
Holder agrees with the Company that this Warrant to Purchase Common Shares of the Company (this “Warrant” or this “Agreement”) is issued and all rights hereunder shall be held subject to all of the conditions, limitations and provisions set forth herein.
1. Date of Issuance and Term.
This Warrant shall be deemed to be issued on September 16, 2013 (“Date of Issuance”). The term of this Warrant begins on the Date of Issuance and ends at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is seven (7) years after the Date of Issuance (the “Term”). This Warrant was issued in conjunction with that certain Facility Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) and the Registration Rights Agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”) by and between the Company, and Deerfield Private Design Fund II, L.P., Deerfield Private Design International II, L.P., Deerfield Special Situations Fund, L.P. and Deerfield Special Situations International Master Fund, L.P., each dated September 16, 2013, entered into in conjunction herewith.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not issue to the Holder, and the Holder may not acquire, a number of Common Shares upon exercise of this Warrant to the extent that, upon such exercise, the number of Common Shares then beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Shares would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) would exceed 9.985% of the total number of Common Shares then issued and outstanding (the “9.985% Cap”), provided, however, that the 9.985% Cap shall not apply with respect to the issuance of Common Shares pursuant to a Cashless Major Exercise (as defined below) in connection with a Major Transaction (as defined below) covered by the provisions of Section 5(c)(i)(A) below in which the Company is not the surviving entity (a “Qualified Change of Control Transaction”) to the extent that the number of shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates in the successor entity immediately following consummation of such Qualified Change of Control Transaction does not exceed 9.985% of the outstanding common stock of such successor entity and provided, further, that the 9.985% Cap shall only apply to the extent that the Common Shares are deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and the percentage held by the Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding. Each delivery of an Exercise Form by the Holder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined, based on the most recent public filings by the Company with the SEC (or any differing information received from the Company in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence), that the issuance of the full number of Common Shares requested in such Exercise Form is permitted under this paragraph.
“Affiliate” means any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a person or entity, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). With respect to a Holder of Warrants, any investment fund or managed account that is managed on a discretionary basis by the same investment manager as such Holder will be deemed to be an Affiliate of such Holder.
“Business Day” means any day on which both (a) the Common Shares are traded for at least two hours on NASDAQ, and (b) the Transfer Agent is open for business.
“Initial Holder” means Deerfield Special Situations Fund, L.P.
2. Exercise.
(a) Manner of Exercise. During the Term, this Warrant may be Exercised as to all or any lesser number of whole Common Shares covered hereby (the “Warrant Shares” or the “Shares”) by sending to the Company the Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Form”) duly completed and executed, together with, if applicable, the full Exercise Price (as defined below, which may be satisfied by a Cash Exercise or a Cashless Exercise, as each is defined below) for each share of Common Shares as to which this Warrant is Exercised, at the office of the Company, Xxxxx XxXxxxx; Phone: (000) 000-0000, Fax: (000) 000-0000, Email: xxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate in writing, by overnight mail, with an advance copy of the Exercise Form sent to the Company by facsimile or electronic mail (such exercise of the Warrant hereinafter called the “Exercise” of this Warrant).
(b) Date of Exercise. The “Date of Exercise” of the Warrant shall be defined as the date that the Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit A, duly completed and executed, is received by facsimile or electronic mail by the Company, provided that the Exercise Form is received by the Company and the Exercise Price (if applicable) is satisfied, each as soon as practicable thereafter but in any event no later than the close of business on the second Business Day thereafter. Alternatively, if Holder has not sent advance notice by facsimile or electronic mail, the Date of Exercise shall be defined as the date the original Exercise Form is received by the Company, provided that the Exercise Price, if applicable, is satisfied no later than the close of business on the second Business Day thereafter. Upon delivery of the Exercise Form to the Company by facsimile, electronic mail or otherwise, 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 such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be; provided, however, that (i) in the event of a Cashless Major Exercise in respect of a Qualified Change of Control Transaction, the Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the consummation of such Qualified Change of Control Transaction, (ii) in the event of a Cashless Major Exercise triggered by an event set forth in Section 5(c)(i)(E), the Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares issuable upon such exercise immediately following the occurrence of the Major Transaction and (iii) in the event that the Exercise Price (if applicable) is not satisfied by no later than the second Business Day following the delivery of the Exercise Form, as described above, the Holder shall not be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares until such time as the Exercise Price is received by the Company and the Company shall have no obligation to deliver such Warrant Shares until two (2) Business Days following the Company’s receipt of the full Exercise Price. The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within two (2) Business Days of the date the final Exercise Form is delivered to the Company. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Form and other required information with respect to a partial Exercise shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
(c) Delivery of Common Shares Upon Exercise. Within three (3) Business Days after any Date of Exercise or in the case of a Cashless Major Exercise or a Cashless Default Exercise (each as defined in Section 5(c) below), within the period provided in Section 5(c)(iv) or Section 3(c), as applicable (the “Delivery Period”), the Company shall issue and deliver (or cause its transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) to issue and deliver) in accordance with the terms hereof certificates representing that number of Common Shares (“Exercise Shares”) for the portion of this Warrant converted as shall be determined in accordance herewith. Upon the Exercise of this Warrant or any part hereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including obtaining and delivering an opinion of counsel, to assure that the Transfer Agent shall issue share certificates in the name of Holder (or its nominee) or such other persons as designated by Holder and in such denominations to be specified at Exercise representing the number of Common Shares issuable upon such Exercise. The Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the Transfer Agent and that, if the Unrestricted Conditions (as defined below) have been and continue to be met, unless waived by the Holder, this Warrant and the Exercise Shares will not be restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, may be freely transferred by non-affiliates (as such term is used in Rule 144 under the Securities Act), and certificates representing such securities will not be required to contain a legend restricting the resale or transferability of the Exercise Shares.
(d) Delivery Failure. In addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Exercise Shares by the end of the Delivery Period (a “Delivery Failure”), the Holder will be entitled, by notice to the Company made by electronic mail or facsimile prior to receipt by the Holder of the Exercise Shares, to revoke all or part of the relevant Exercise Form by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company in accordance with Section 2(a) whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of the Exercise Form, except that the liquidated damages described herein shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.
(e) Legends.
(i) Restrictive Legend. The Holder understands that until such time as this Warrant, the Exercise Shares and the Failure Payment Shares (as defined below) have been registered under the Securities Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, this Warrant, the Exercise Shares and the Failure Payment Shares, if any, will be restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act; may be offered, sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of only pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and in accordance with the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, a so-called “4(1) and a half” transaction, in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 below); and any certificate evidencing this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such securities):
“[THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF][THESE SECURITIES] HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF [OR EXERCISED] UNLESS (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS SHALL HAVE BECOME EFFECTIVE WITH REGARD THERETO, OR (II) AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS AVAILABLE IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH OFFER, SALE[,TRANSFER OR EXERCISE][OR TRANSFER].”
“THE SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 16, 2013, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN HOLDERS OF ITS OUTSTANDING SECURITIES. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”
The Holder further understands that until January 17, 2014, this Warrant and any certificate representing the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares will bear the following additional legends:
"UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE CANADIAN PROVINCIAL SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE JANUARY 17, 2014."
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE LISTED ON THE TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE (THE "TSX"); HOWEVER, THE SAID SECURITIES CANNOT BE TRADED THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF THE TSX SINCE THEY ARE NOT FREELY TRANSFERABLE, AND CONSEQUENTLY ANY CERTIFICATE REPRESENTING SUCH SECURITIES IS NOT 'GOOD DELIVERY' IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON THE TSX."
(ii) Removal of Restrictive Legends. This Warrant and the certificates evidencing the Exercise Shares and the Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, shall not contain any legend restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend set forth above in subsection 2(e)(i)): (A) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the sale or resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (B) following any sale of such Warrant, Exercise Shares and/or Failure Payment Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (C) if such Warrant, Exercise Shares and/or Failure Payment Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1), or (D) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) and the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel of the Holder to such effect (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the Effective Date, or at such other time as the Unrestricted Conditions have been met, if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the issuance of this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, without a restrictive legend or removal of the legends required hereunder, provided, however, that in connection with a legend removal request arising under clause (C) or (D) above, the Holder shall deliver to the Company a letter, signature guaranteed, substantially in the form of Exhibit D. If the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the time of issuance of this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares, then such Exercise Shares or Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions are met or such legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 2(e), it will, no later than three (3) Business Days following the delivery (the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Deadline”) by the Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of this Warrant and a certificate representing Exercise Shares and/or Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder this Warrant and/or a certificate (or electronic transfer) representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. For purposes hereof, “Effective Date” shall mean the date that the Registration Statement, that the Company is required to file pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, has been declared effective by the SEC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that for any reason the Unrestricted Conditions shall cease to apply to this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares, then upon notice provided by the Company to the Holder to such effect, the Holder shall promptly return the applicable certificates for this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares to the Transfer Agent, which shall re-issue such certificates bearing the legends contemplated in Section 2(e)(i), and such legends shall remain on such certificates for so long as the Unrestricted Conditions continue to not be met.
(iii) Sale of Unlegended Shares. Holder agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from this Warrant and any certificates representing the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares as set forth in Section 2(e) above is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Holder will sell this Warrant or any Exercise Shares and/or any Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.
(f) Cancellation of Warrant. This Warrant shall be canceled upon the full Exercise of this Warrant, and, as soon as practical after the Date of Exercise, Holder shall be entitled to receive Exercise Shares for the number of shares purchased upon such Exercise of this Warrant, and if this Warrant is not Exercised in full, Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant (containing terms identical to this Warrant) representing any unexercised portion of this Warrant in addition to such Common Shares upon return to the Company of the original Warrant for cancellation; provided, however, as set forth in Section 2(b), Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this warrant if the Warrant is not Exercised in full.
(g) Holder of Record. Each person in whose name this Warrant is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be the Holder of record of such shares on the Date of Exercise of this Warrant, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Common Shares purchased upon the Exercise of this Warrant. Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder any rights as a stockholder of the Company. Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder any rights as stockholder of the Company.
(h) Delivery of Electronic Shares. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Shares issuable upon Exercise or legend removal, or representing Failure Payment Shares, provided the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon written request of the Holder, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its Transfer Agent to electronically transmit the Common Shares issuable upon Exercise to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system. The time periods for delivery and penalties described herein shall apply to the electronic transmittals described herein. Any delivery not effected by electronic transmission shall be effected by deliver by physical certificates. Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder any rights as stockholder of the Company.
(i) Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates, or electronic shares through DWAC, representing the Exercise Shares pursuant to an Exercise on or before the end of the Delivery Period (provided that the Exercise Price, if applicable, has been satisfied as provided in Section 2(b) hereof), other than a failure caused by any incorrect or incomplete information provided by Holder to the Company hereunder, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Exercise Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such Exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Exercise Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the Exercise at issue times and (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, by notice to the Company made by electronic mail or facsimile prior to receipt by the Holder of the Exercise Shares, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Exercise Shares for which such Exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of Common Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its Exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted Exercise to cover the sale of Common Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing Common Shares upon Exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(j) Additional Representation. Unless the Holder shall have delivered a Representation Notice (as defined below) in connection therewith, each delivery of an Exercise Form in connection with a Cash Exercise shall constitute a representation that upon such Cash Exercise, the Holder will acquire the Warrant Shares as principal for its own account, for investment purposes only, and not with a view towards, the sale or distribution of the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that no such representations shall be construed as constituting an agreement by the Holder to hold any of the Warrant Shares for any minimum or other specific term and the Holder shall reserve the right to dispose of such Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. In addition, unless the Holder shall have delivered a Representation Notice (as defined below) in connection therewith, each delivery of an Exercise Form in connection with a Cash Exercise shall constitute a representation that, as of the date of such Cash Exercise, the Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act. If the Holder is unable to make the representations set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 2(j) at the time it delivers its Exercise Form in respect of a Cash Exercise, the Holder shall notify the Company in writing that it is not making such representations (a “Representation Notice”). If the Holder delivers a Representation Notice in connection with a Cash Exercise, it shall be a condition to the Holder’s Cash Exercise of this Warrant that the Company receive such other representations as the Company considers reasonably necessary to assure the Company that the issuance of Warrant Shares upon such Cash Exercise of this Warrant shall not violate any United States or state securities laws.
3. Payment of Warrant Exercise Price for Cash Exercise or Cashless Exercise; Cashless Major Exercise and Cashless Default Exercise.
(a) Exercise Price. The Exercise Price (“Exercise Price”) shall initially equal $1.94 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms hereof, including but not limited to Section 5 below.
Payment of the Exercise Price may be made by either of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Holder:
(i) Cash Exercise: The Holder may exercise this Warrant in cash, bank or cashier’s check, wire transfer or through a reduction of an amount of principal outstanding under any Notes (as defined in the Facility Agreement) in accordance with Section 2.3(d) of the Facility Agreement, then held by the Holder (a “Cash Exercise”); or
(ii) Cashless Exercise: The Holder, at its option, may exercise this Warrant in a cashless exercise transaction. In order to effect a Cashless Exercise, the Holder shall send to the Company at its principal office a notice of cashless election, in which event the Company shall issue Holder a number of Common Shares computed using the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):
X = Y (A-B)/A
where: X = the number of Common Shares to be issued to Holder.
Y = the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant is being Exercised.
A = the Market Price of one (1) share of Common Shares (for purposes of this Section 3(a)(ii), “Market Price,” as of any date, shall mean the Volume Weighted Average Price (as defined herein) of the Common Shares for the five (5) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding the date in question.
B = the Exercise Price.
As used herein, the “Volume Weighted Average Price” for any security during any period means the volume weighted average sale price on The NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) during such period as reported by, or based upon data reported by, Bloomberg Financial Markets or an equivalent, reliable reporting service mutually acceptable to and hereafter designated by holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants and the Company (“Bloomberg”) or, if NASDAQ is not the principal trading market for such security, the volume weighted average sale price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg during such period, or, if no volume weighted average sale price is reported for such security, then the last closing trade price of such security during such period as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no last closing trade price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the over the counter market by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or in the “pink sheets” by the Pink OTC Market, Inc. If the Volume Weighted Average Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the volume weighted average price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants being Exercised for which the calculation of the volume weighted average price is required in order to determine the Exercise Price of such Warrants. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Shares are traded for any period on NASDAQ, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Shares are then being traded.
For purposes of Rule 144 and sub-section (d)(3)(ii) thereof, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Common Shares issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant in a Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired at the time this Warrant was issued. Moreover, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the holding period for the Common Shares issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant in a Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have commenced on the date this Warrant was issued. As provided in Section 2(b), the Holder shall only be required to physically surrender this Warrant in the event that the Holder is exercising this Warrant in full.
(b) Cashless Major Exercise: To the extent the Holder shall exercise this Warrant as a Cashless Major Exercise pursuant to Section 5(c)(i) below, the Holder shall send to the Company the Exercise Form in the manner set forth in Section 2(a) indicating that the Holder is exercising this Warrant (or any portion thereof) pursuant to a Cashless Major Exercise, in which event the Company shall, at its election, either (i) issue a number of Common Shares equal to the Intrinsic Value (as determined in accordance with Schedule 1 attached hereto) (the “Intrinsic Value”) of the Warrant (or such applicable portion being exercised) divided by the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares for the five (5) Trading Day period immediately preceding the date on which the applicable Major Transaction is consummated, or (ii) redeem the Warrant (or such applicable portion) for an amount in cash equal to the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price (as defined below). The Company shall notify the Holder in writing within two (2) Business Days following receipt of the Exercise Form whether it is electing to treat such Major Transaction (or portion thereof) in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) above.
(c) Cashless Default Exercise. To the extent the Holder exercises this Warrant as a Cashless Default Exercise pursuant to Section 11(b)(i) below, the Holder shall send to the Company the Exercise Form in the manner set forth in Section 2(a) indicating that the Holder is exercising this Warrant pursuant to a Cashless Default Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder, within five (5) Trading Days of the applicable Default Notice, a number of Common Shares (which shares shall be valued at the Volume Weighted Average Price for the five (5) Trading Day period prior to the applicable Default Notice) equal to the greater of (A) the Black Scholes Value (as determined in accordance with Schedule 2 attached hereto) (the “Black Scholes Value”) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Default Notice (as defined below) and (B) the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that the Exercise Shares in respect of such Cashless Default Exercise are issued to the Holder. As provided in Section 2(b), the Holder shall only be required to physically surrender this Warrant in the event that the Holder is exercising this Warrant in full.
(b) Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the closing price or the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares or the arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price, Market Price or any Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price (as defined below), the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the Exercise Form or Major Transaction Early Termination Notice, or other event giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days thereafter submit via facsimile (i) the disputed determination of the closing price or the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price, Market Price or any Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price to the Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company shall use reasonable commercial best efforts to cause the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than five (5) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error, and the Company and the Holder shall each pay one-half of the fees and costs of such investment bank or accountant.
4. Transfer and Registration.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Warrant, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Company, in whole or in part, in person or by attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly completed and endorsed, provided, however, that in the event that the Holder is not the Initial Holder or an Affiliate of the Initial Holder, the assignment form provided for in Section 8 shall include a signature guarantee. This Warrant shall be canceled upon such surrender and, as soon as practicable thereafter, the person to whom such transfer is made shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant or Warrants as to the portion of this Warrant transferred, and Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant as to the portion hereof retained.

(a) | Reserved. |
(b) Recapitalization or Reclassification. If the Company shall at any time effect a stock split, payment of stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar transaction of such character that the Common Shares shall be changed into or become exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares, then upon the effective date thereof, the number of Common Shares which Holder shall be entitled to purchase upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease in the number of Common Shares by reason of such stock split, payment of stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or similar transaction, and the Exercise Price shall be, in the case of an increase in the number of shares, proportionally decreased and, in the case of decrease in the number of shares, proportionally increased. The Company shall give Holder the same notice it provides to holders of Common Shares of any transaction described in this Section 5(b).
(c) Rights Upon Major Transaction.
(i) Major Transaction. In the event that a Major Transaction (as defined below) occurs, then (1) in the case of a Cash-Out Major Transaction and in the case of a Mixed Major Transaction to the extent of the percentage of the cash consideration in the Mixed Major Transaction (determined in accordance with the definition of a Mixed Major Transaction below), the Holder, at its option, may require the Company to redeem the Holder’s outstanding Warrants in accordance with Section 5(c)(ii) below and (2) in the case of all other Major Transactions and in the case of a Mixed Major Transaction to the extent of the percentage of the consideration represented by securities of a Successor Entity in the Mixed Major Transaction, the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant as a Cashless Major Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall have the right to waive its rights under this Section 5(c) with respect to all or any portion of any Major Transaction, in which event none of the provisions of this Section 5(c)(i) with respect to such rights shall apply to such Major Transaction or portion thereof. Each of the following events shall constitute a “Major Transaction”:
(A) a consolidation, merger, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, business combination or other similar event, (1) following which the holders of Common Shares immediately preceding such consolidation, merger, exchange, recapitalization, reorganization, combination or event either (a) no longer hold a majority of the Common Shares or (b) no longer have the ability to elect a majority of the board of directors of the Company or (2) as a result of which Common Shares shall be changed into (or the Common Shares become entitled to receive) the same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes of shares or securities of the Company or another entity (collectively, a “Change of Control Transaction”);
(B) the sale or transfer of (i) all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or (ii) assets of the Company for a purchase price equal to more than 50% of the Enterprise Value (as defined below) of the Company. For purposes of this clause (B), “Enterprise Value” shall mean (I) the product of (x) the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares on the date the Company delivers the Major Transaction Notice (defined below) multiplied by (y) the per share closing price of the Common Shares on such date plus (II) the amount of the Company’s debt as shown on the latest financial statements filed with the SEC (the “Current Financial Statements”) less (III) the amount of cash and cash equivalents of the Company as shown on the Current Financial Statements;
(C) a purchase, tender or exchange offer made to and accepted by the requisite percentage of the holders of outstanding Common Shares, such that following such purchase, tender or exchange offer a Change of Control Transaction shall have occurred;
(D) the liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or winding-up (or the occurrence of any analogous proceeding) affecting the Company; or
(E) the Common Shares cease to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
(ii) Notice; Major Transaction Early Termination Right; Notice of Cashless Major Exercise. At least thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of any Major Transaction, but, in any event, within five (5) Business Days following the first to occur of (x) the date of the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, or (y) the day following the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made on and after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Major Transaction Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Major Transaction Notice and ending five (5) Trading Days prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction (the “Early Termination Period”), the Holder may require the Company to redeem (an “Early Termination Upon Major Transaction”) all or any portion of this Warrant not eligible to be treated as a Cashless Major Exercise (without taking into consideration the 9.985% Cap) by delivering written notice thereof (“Major Transaction Early Termination Notice”) to the Company, which Major Transaction Early Termination Notice shall indicate the portion of the principal amount (the “Early Termination Principal Amount”) of the Warrant (by reference to the number of shares issuable upon a Cash Exercise of the Warrant) that the Holder is electing to have redeemed. The portion of this Warrant subject to early termination pursuant to this Section 5(c)(ii) (the “Redeemable Shares”), shall be redeemed by the Company at a price (the “Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price”) payable in cash equal to the Intrinsic Value of the Redeemable Shares determined in accordance with Schedule 1 hereto.
To the extent the Holder shall elect to effect a Cashless Major Exercise in respect of a Major Transaction, the Holder shall deliver its Exercise Form in accordance with Section 3(b), within the Early Termination Period.
For the avoidance of doubt, the rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder upon the occurrence of a Major Transaction are conditional upon such Major Transaction being consummated and in the event that Major Transaction for which the Holder is given notice is not consummated, all actions taken under this Section 5(c) shall be deemed to be rescinded and null and void and the Company shall return to the Holder the Warrant (if previously surrendered the Company in connection with an anticipated Major Transaction under this Section 5(c).
Following a Major Transaction that constitutes a Qualified Change of Control Transaction, any portion of this Warrant then remaining outstanding that has not been redeemed pursuant to Section 5(c)(i) or clause (ii) of Section 3(b) or Exercised (whether by Cash Exercise, Cashless Exercise, Cashless Major Exercise or otherwise) shall automatically and immediately convert into Common Shares, and shall be deemed to have been exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction.
(iii) Escrow; Payment of Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price. Following the receipt of a Major Transaction Early Termination Notice or a notice of Cashless Major Exercise from the Holder, the Company shall not effect a Major Transaction that is being treated as an early termination or is eligible to be treated as a Cashless Major Exercise unless it either (a) shall first place into an escrow account with an independent escrow agent, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the closing date of the Major Transaction (the “Major Transaction Escrow Deadline”), an amount in Common Shares or cash, as applicable, equal to the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price and/or applicable Exercise Shares or (b) obtains the written agreement of the Successor Entity that the payment of the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price shall be made to the Holder concurrently with the consummation of such Major Transaction or issuance by the Company of the applicable Exercise Shares shall be made to the Holder immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction, as applicable, and such issuance or payment shall be a condition precedent to consummation of such Major Transaction. The Company shall (i) concurrently upon closing of such Major Transaction, pay or instruct the escrow agent to pay the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price to the Holder or, (ii) immediately prior to the closing of such Major Transaction, deliver or instruct the escrow agent to deliver the applicable Exercise Shares to the Holder, as applicable. For purposes of determining the amount required to be placed in escrow pursuant to the provisions of this subsection (iii) and without affecting the amount of the actual Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price and/or applicable Exercise Shares, the calculation of the price referred to in clause (1) of the first column of Schedule 1 hereto with respect to Stock Price shall be determined based on the Applicable VWAP (as defined on Schedule I) during the five (5) Trading Day period immediately preceding the date that the funds and/or applicable Exercise Shares, as applicable, are deposited with the escrow agent.
(iv) Injunction. Following the receipt of a Major Transaction Early Termination Notice or notice of a Cashless Major Exercise from the Holder, in the event that the Company attempts to consummate a Major Transaction without either (a) placing the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price or applicable Exercise Shares, as applicable, in escrow in accordance with subsection (iii) above, (b) paying the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price or issuing of the applicable Exercise Shares, as applicable, to the Holder prior to consummation of such Major Transaction, or (c) obtaining the written agreement of the Successor Entity described in subsection (iii) above, the Holder shall have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan to prevent the closing of such Major Transaction until the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price is paid to the Holder, in full or the applicable Exercise Shares are delivered, as applicable.
An early termination required by this Section 5(c) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 and shall have priority to payments to holders of Common Shares in connection with a Major Transaction to the extent an early termination required by Section 5(c)(ii) is deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Warrant by the Company, such early termination shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, until the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price is paid in full, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Shares, or in the event the Exercise Date is after the consummation of the Major Transaction, shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity pursuant to Section 5(c). The parties hereto agree that in the event of the early termination of any portion of the Warrant under this Section 5(c), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any premium due under this Section 5(c) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.
For purposes hereof:
“Cash-Out Major Transaction” means a Major Transaction in which the consideration payable to holders of Common Shares in connection with the Major Transaction consists solely of cash.
“Cashless Default Exercise” shall mean an exercise of this Warrant as a “Cashless Default Exercise” in accordance with Section 3(c) and 11(b) hereof.
“Cashless Major Exercise” shall mean an exercise of this Warrant or portion thereof as a “Cashless Major Exercise” in accordance with Section 3(b) and 5(c)(i) hereof.
“Eligible Market” means the over the counter Bulletin Board, the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the NYSE Arca, the NASDAQ Capital Market, the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NYSE MKT or the TSX.
“Mixed Major Transaction” means a Major Transaction in which the consideration payable to the shareholders of the Company consists partially of cash and partially of securities of a Successor Entity. If the Successor Entity is a Publicly Traded Successor Entity, the percentage of consideration represented by securities of such Successor Entity shall be equal to the percentage that the value of the aggregate anticipated number of shares of the Publicly Traded Successor Entity to be issued to holders of Common Shares of the Company represents in comparison to the aggregate value of all consideration, including cash consideration, in such Mixed Major Transaction, as such values are set forth in any definitive agreement for the Mixed Major Transaction that has been executed at the time of the first public announcement of the Major Transaction or, if no such value is determinable from such definitive agreement, based on the closing market price for shares of the Publicly Traded Successor Entity on its principal securities exchange on the Trading Day preceding the first public announcement of the Mixed Major Transaction. If the Successor Entity is a Private Successor Entity, the percentage of consideration represented by securities of such Successor Entity shall be determined in good-faith by the Company's Board of Directors
“Parent Entity” of a Person means an entity that, directly or indirectly, controls the applicable Person and whose common stock or equivalent equity security is quoted or listed on an Eligible Market, or, if there is more than one such Person or Parent Entity, the Person or Parent Entity with the largest public market capitalization as of the date of consummation of a Major Transaction.
“Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity and a government or any department or agency thereof.
“Private Successor Entity” means a Successor Entity that is not a Publicly Traded Successor Entity.
“Publicly Traded Successor Entity” means a Successor Entity that is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market (as defined above).
“Successor Entity” means any Person purchasing the Company’s assets or Common Shares, or any successor entity resulting from such Major Transaction, or if the Warrant is to be exercisable for shares of capital stock of its Parent Entity (as defined above), its Parent Entity.
(d) Exercise Price Adjusted. As used in this Warrant, the term “Exercise Price” shall mean the purchase price per share specified in Section 3(a) of this Warrant, until the occurrence of an event stated in this Section 5 or otherwise set forth in this Warrant, and thereafter shall mean said price as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the provisions of said subsection. No adjustment made pursuant to any provision of this Section 5 shall have the net effect of increasing the Exercise Price in relation to the split adjusted and distribution adjusted price of the Common Shares.
(e) Adjustments: Additional Shares, Securities or Assets. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5 or otherwise, Holder shall, upon Exercise of this Warrant, become entitled to receive shares and/or other securities or assets (other than Common Shares) then, wherever appropriate, all references herein to Common Shares shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares and/or other securities or assets; and thereafter, to the extent that such shares and/or other securities have not been distributed to the Holder, the number of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 5.
(f) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice (an “Exercise Price Adjustment Notice”) setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like Warrant setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of Common Shares and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon Exercise of the Warrant. For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides an Exercise Price Adjustment Notice pursuant to this Section 5(f), upon the occurrence of any event that leads to an adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Holder would be entitled to receive a number of Exercise Shares based upon the new Exercise Price, as adjusted, for exercises occurring on or after the date of such adjustment, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the adjusted Exercise Price in the Exercise Form.
6. Fractional Interests.
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant, but on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder may purchase only a whole number of Common Shares. If, on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder would be entitled to a fractional share of Common Shares or a right to acquire a fractional share of Common Shares, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of Common Shares issuable upon Exercise shall be the next higher whole number of shares.
7. Reservation of Shares.
From and after the date hereof, the Company shall at all times reserve for issuance such number of authorized and unissued Common Shares (or other securities substituted therefor as herein above provided) as shall be sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price. If at any time the number of Common Shares authorized and reserved for issuance is below the number of shares sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant (a “Share Authorization Failure”) (based on the Exercise Price in effect from time to time), the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of shareholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company’s obligations under this Section 7, in the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, and using its best efforts to obtain shareholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares. The Company covenants and agrees that upon the Exercise of this Warrant, all Common Shares issuable upon such Exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of any Person. The Company covenants and agrees that all Common Shares issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be approved for listing on NASDAQ, or, if that is not the principal United States trading market for the Common Shares, such Eligible Market on which the Common Shares are traded or listed.
8. Restrictions on Transfer; TSX Restrictions.
(a) Registration or Exemption Required. This Warrant has been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Regulation D and exempt from state registration or qualification under applicable state laws. None of the Warrant, the Exercise Shares or Failure Payment Shares may be offered, sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or exercised except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws, which exemption may include, without limitation, if applicable, a so-called “4(1) and a half” transaction.
(b) Assignment. Subject to Section 8(a), the Holder may offer, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (a “Transfer”) this Warrant, in whole or in part; provided that the Holder may not Transfer any portion of this Warrant with respect to less than the lesser of (x) two hundred and fifty thousand (250,000) Warrant Shares (including for purposes of determining whether clause (x) has been satisfied with respect to a Transfer by the Initial Holder, the Transfer by the Initial Holder or any Affiliate of the Initial Holder of any Warrants issued pursuant to Section 2.10 of the Facility Agreement) or (y) all remaining Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant; and, provided further, that for so long as the Common Shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), the Holder may not Transfer any portion of this Warrant to any person or entity to the extent that, assuming a Cash Exercise by such transferee of the transferred portion of the Warrant immediately following such transfer (without regard to the 9.985% Cap), the beneficial ownership (determined with reference to Section 90 of the Securities Act (Ontario)) of Common Shares of such transferee would exceed 9.99% of the total number of Common Shares of the Company then issued and outstanding (the “TSX Transfer Restriction”). In connection with any such Transfer of this Warrant, the Holder shall deliver a written notice to Company, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B, indicating the Person or Persons to whom the Warrant shall be assigned and the respective number of warrants to be assigned to each assignee, together, if applicable, with the legal opinion referenced below. In addition, in connection with the Transfer of this Warrant (or any portion thereof), at a time that the Common Shares are traded on the TSX, the Holder shall obtain a Transferee Representation Letter substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E hereto (the “Transferee Representation Letter”). The Company shall effect the assignment within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such written notice (the “Transfer Delivery Period”) and, if applicable, Transferee Representation Letter, and shall deliver to the assignee(s) designated by Holder a Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and terms for the appropriate number of shares, and shall deliver to the assignor a Warrant for the number of shares, if any, with respect to which the Warrant had not been assigned. Such Warrants shall bear any legends required by this Warrant, the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. This Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant, and shall be enforceable by any such Holder. For avoidance of doubt: (1) in the event Holder notifies the Company that such Transfer is being made in a so called “4(1) and a half” transaction, the parties hereto agree that an opinion of outside counsel for the Holder of recognized standing, or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Company, delivered to counsel for the Company substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C shall be the only evidence required by the Company in order to effect such Transfer in such “4(1) and a half” transaction and (2) for purposes of determining whether the TSX Transfer Restriction has been complied with, the Holder shall be entitled to rely, without independent investigation, upon the representations set forth in the Transferee Representation Letter.
(c) PIF Submission. In connection with the issuance of this Warrant, the relevant Affiliate of the Initial Holder has submitted to the TSX a completed and executed Personal Information Form (“PIF”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Initial Holder shall not be permitted to effect a Cash Exercise or a Cashless Exercise hereunder prior to receipt of a written communication (including, without limitation, an email communication) from the appropriate branch of the TSX indicating that the TSX is satisfied with the PIF (such communication to be hereinafter referred to as the “TSX PIF Approval”). For the avoidance of doubt, regardless of whether the TSX PIF Approval has been obtained, the Initial Holder shall be permitted to Transfer this Warrant, in whole or in part, at any time pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8.
9. Noncircumvention.
The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be reasonably required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any Common Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.
10. Events of Failure.
(a) Definition.
The occurrence of each of the following shall be considered to be an “Event of Failure.”
(i) A Delivery Failure occurs, where a “Delivery Failure” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to use its best efforts to deliver Exercise Shares to the Holder within any applicable Delivery Period;
(ii) A Legend Removal Failure occurs, where a “Legend Removal Failure” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to use its best efforts to issue this Warrant and/or Exercise Shares without a restrictive legend, or fails to use its best efforts to remove a restrictive legend, when and as required under Section 2(e) hereof;
(iii) a Transfer Delivery Failure occurs, where a “Transfer Delivery Failure” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to use its best efforts to deliver a Warrant within any applicable Transfer Delivery Period; and
(iv) a Registration Failure (as defined below).
For purpose hereof, “Registration Failure” means that (A) the Company fails to file with the SEC on or before the Filing Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) any Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement, (B) the Company fails to use best efforts to obtain effectiveness with the SEC, prior to the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), and if such Registration Statement is not so filed prior to the Registration Deadline, as soon as possible thereafter, of any Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) that is required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement, or fails to use best efforts to keep such Registration Statement current and effective as required in Section 3 of the Registration Rights Agreement, (C) The Company fails to file any additional Registration Statements required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) of the Registration Rights Agreement on or before the Additional Filing Deadline or fails to use best efforts to cause such new Registration Statement to become effective on or before the Additional Registration Deadline, and if such effectiveness does not occur within such period, as soon as possible thereafter, (D) the Company fails to file any amendment to any Registration Statement, or any additional Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement within thirty (30) days of the applicable Registration Trigger Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), or fails to use best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective within ninety (90) days of the applicable Registration Trigger Date, and, if such effectiveness does not occur within such period, as soon as possible thereafter, (E) any Registration Statement required to be filed under the Registration Rights Agreement, after its initial effectiveness and during the Registration Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), lapses in effect or sales of all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) cannot otherwise be made thereunder (whether by reason of the Company’s failure to amend or supplement the prospectus included therein in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company’s failure to file and, use best efforts to obtain effectiveness with the SEC of an additional Registration Statement or amended Registration Statement required pursuant to Sections 2(a)(ii) or 3(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement, as applicable, or otherwise), and (F) the Company fails to provide a commercially reasonable written response to any comments to any Registration Statement submitted by the SEC within twenty (20) days of the date that such SEC comments are received by the Company.
(b) Failure Payments; Determination. The Company understands that any Event of Failure (as defined above) could result in economic loss to the Holder. In the event that any Event of Failure occurs, as compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Holder an amount payable, at the Company’s option, either (i) in cash or (ii) in Common Shares that are valued for these purposes at the Volume Weighted Average Price during the five (5) Trading Day period immediately preceding the date of the Failure Delivery Date (as defined below) (“Failure Payments”) (which shares can be issued pursuant to a registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, at the option of the Company), in each case equal to 18% per annum (or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less) of the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Failure Delivery Date (as recalculated on the first Business Day of each month thereafter for as long as Failure Payments shall continue to accrue), which shall accrue daily from the date of such Event of Failure until the Event of Failure is cured, compounded monthly, provided, however, the Holder shall only receive up to such amount of Common Shares in respect of Failure Payments such that Holder and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Shares would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) shall not collectively beneficially own greater than 9.985% of the total number of Common Shares of the Company then issued and outstanding. For purposes of clarification, it is agreed and understood that Failure Payments shall continue to accrue following any Event of Default until the applicable Default Amount is paid in full.
Notwithstanding the above, in the event that the Company has failed to use best efforts to obtain effectiveness with the SEC of a Registration Statement and (i) has, by the Filing Deadline (as defined the Registration Rights Agreement) filed such Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the number of shares required by the Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) has responded in writing to any comments to the Registration Statement that the Company has received from the SEC, within seven (7) Business Days of such receipt, and nevertheless the SEC has not declared effective a Registration Statement covering the full number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants by the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) then, the Failure Payments attributable to such late Registration Effectiveness shall be reduced from 18% to 15% (calculated as set forth above). The Company shall satisfy any Failure Payments under this Section pursuant to Section 10(c) below. Failure Payments are in addition to any Shares that the Holder is entitled to receive upon Exercise of this Warrant.
(c) Payment of Accrued Failure Payments. The Common Shares or cash in satisfaction of the accrued Failure Payment shall be issued and delivered or paid, as the case may be, on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day of each month following a month in which Failure Payments accrued (such date of delivery the “Failure Delivery Date”). Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages (to the extent in excess of the Failure Payments) for the Company’s Event of Failure, and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). Notwithstanding the above, if a particular Event of Failure results in an Event of Default pursuant to Section 11 hereof, then the Failure Payment, for that Event of Failure only, shall be considered to have been satisfied upon payment to the Holder of an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Failure Payment, or (ii) the Default Amount, payable in accordance with Section 11.
(d) Maximum Interest Rate. Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Holder and thus refunded to the Company.
11. Default.
(a) Events Of Default. Each of the following events shall be considered to be an “Event of Default,” unless waived by the Holder:
(i) Failure To Effect Registration. With respect to all Registration Failures, a Registration Failure occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than thirty (30) days (or forty-five (45) days in the case where the Company (i) has, by the Filing Deadline (as defined the Registration Rights Agreement) filed a Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering this Warrant and the number of shares required by the Registration Rights Agreement, and (ii) has responded in writing to any comments to the Registration Statement that the Company has received from the SEC, within seven (7) Business Days of such receipt, and nevertheless the SEC has not declared effective a Registration Statement covering this Warrant and the Shares by the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)), and such Registration Failure relates solely to the Company’s failure to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and with respect to a Registration Failure provided in clause (E) of the definition of “Registration Failure”, such Registration Failure occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than forty-five (45) days.
(ii) Failure To Deliver Common Shares. A Delivery Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than twenty (20) days; or at any time the Company announces or states in writing that it will not honor its obligations to issue Common Shares to the Holder upon Exercise by the Holder of the Exercise rights of the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.
(iii) Legend Removal Failure. A Legend Removal Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period of twenty (20) days.
(iv) Transfer Delivery Failure. Transfer Delivery Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period of twenty (20) days; and
(v) Corporate Existence; Major Transaction. (A) The Company has failed to place the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price or the Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of a Cashless Major Exercise, as the case may be, into escrow or obtain the written agreement of the Successor Entity as described in Section 5(c)(ii), or the Company has failed to instruct the escrow agent to release such amount or such shares, as the case may be, to the Holder pursuant to Section 5(c)(ii), or (B) the Company has failed to obtain the written agreement of the Successor Entity as described in Section 5(c)(ii).
(b) Mandatory Early Termination.
(i) Mandatory Early Termination Amount; Cashless Default Exercise. If any Events of Default shall occur then, unless waived by the Holder, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, at the option of the Holder, such option exercisable through the delivery of written notice to the Company by such Holder (the “Default Notice”), the Company shall have the right to terminate the outstanding amount of this Warrant and pay to the Holder (a “Mandatory Early Termination”), in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Holder within two (2) Business Days following receipt of the Default Notice, an amount payable in cash (the “Mandatory Early Termination Amount” or the “Default Amount”) equal to the greater of (i) the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Default Notice and (ii) the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that the Mandatory Early Termination Amount is paid to the Holder. In the event the Company does not exercise its right to consummate a Mandatory Early Termination, then the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant pursuant to a Cashless Default Exercise in accordance with Section 3(c) above.
The Mandatory Early Termination Amount shall be payable within five (5) Business Days following the date of the applicable Default Notice.
(ii) Liquidated Damages. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the sums payable as Failure Payments or pursuant to a Mandatory Early Termination shall give rise to liquidated damages and not penalties. The parties further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred by the Holder is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified bear a reasonable proportion and are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be incurred by the Holder, and (iii) the parties are sophisticated business parties and have been represented by sophisticated and able legal and financial counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm’s length.
The Default Amount, together with all other amounts payable hereunder, shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.
(c) Posting Of Bond. In the event that any Event of Default occurs hereunder, the Company may not raise as a legal defense (in any Lawsuit, as defined below, or otherwise) or justification to such Event of Default any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless the Company has posted a surety bond (a “Surety Bond”) for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 130% of the aggregate Surety Bond Value (as defined below) of all of the Holder’s Warrants (the “Bond Amount”), which Surety Bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment.
For purposes hereof, a “Lawsuit” shall mean any lawsuit, arbitration or other dispute resolution filed by either party herein pertaining to any of this Warrant, the Facility Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
“Surety Bond Value,” for the Warrants shall mean 130% of the of the Black-Scholes Value (as determined in accordance with Bloomberg OV function) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that such bond goes into effect.
(d) Injunction and Posting of Bond. In the event that the Event of Default referred to in subsection (c) above pertains to the Company’s failure to deliver unlegended Common Shares to the Holder pursuant to a Warrant Exercise, legend removal request, or otherwise, the Company may not refuse such unlegended share delivery based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless an injunction from a court, on prior notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining Exercise of all or part of said Warrant shall have been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company has posted a Surety Bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of the Bond Amount, which Surety Bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment.
(e) Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches And Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant, the Facility Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
12. Holder’s Early Terminations; TSX Notice.
(a) Mechanics of Holder’s Early Terminations. In the event that the Company does not deliver the applicable Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price or Default Amount or the Exercise Shares in respect of a Cashless Major Exercise or a Cashless Default Exercise, as the case may be, to the Holder within the time period or as otherwise required pursuant to the terms hereof, at any time thereafter by notice to the Company made by electronic mail or facsimile prior to receipt by the Holder of such Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price or Default Amount or Exercise Shares, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of early termination, Cashless Major Exercise or Cashless Default Exercise, as the case may be, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Warrant that was submitted for early termination or exercise. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable early termination or exercise, as the case may be, shall be null and void with respect to such applicable portion of this Warrant, and (y) the Company shall immediately return this Warrant, or issue a new Warrant to the Holder representing the portion of this Warrant that was submitted for early termination or exercise. The Holder’s delivery of a notice voiding an early termination or exercise and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments of Failure Payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Warrant subject to such notice.
(b) TSX Notice of Certain Payments and Issuances. Prior to any (i) issuance of Exercise Shares pursuant to a Cashless Default Exercise, (ii) payment of Default Amounts, (iii) issuance of Common Shares in satisfaction of accrued Failure Payments or (iv) payment of cash in satisfaction of accrued Failure Payments, the Company shall deliver to the TSX a letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto (the “TSX Letter”), notifying the TSX of such payment or issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure by the Company to deliver the TSX Letter shall in no way diminish the Company’s obligations to make such payments or issuances.
13. Benefits of this Warrant.
Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to confer upon any person other than the Company and Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Warrant and this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and Holder.

If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding. Each delivery of an Exercise Form by the Holder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined, based on the most recent public filings by the Company with the SEC (or any differing information received from the Company in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence), that the issuance of the full number of Common Shares requested in such Exercise Form is permitted under this paragraph.
“Affiliate” means any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a person or entity, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). With respect to a Holder of Warrants, any investment fund or managed account that is managed on a discretionary basis by the same investment manager as such Holder will be deemed to be an Affiliate of such Holder.
“Business Day” means any day on which both (a) the Common Shares are traded for at least two hours on NASDAQ, and (b) the Transfer Agent is open for business.
“Initial Holder” means Deerfield Special Situations International Master Fund, L.P.
2. Exercise.
(a) Manner of Exercise. During the Term, this Warrant may be Exercised as to all or any lesser number of whole Common Shares covered hereby (the “Warrant Shares” or the “Shares”) by sending to the Company the Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Form”) duly completed and executed, together with, if applicable, the full Exercise Price (as defined below, which may be satisfied by a Cash Exercise or a Cashless Exercise, as each is defined below) for each share of Common Shares as to which this Warrant is Exercised, at the office of the Company, Xxxxx XxXxxxx; Phone: (000) 000-0000, Fax: (000) 000-0000, Email: xxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate in writing, by overnight mail, with an advance copy of the Exercise Form sent to the Company by facsimile or electronic mail (such exercise of the Warrant hereinafter called the “Exercise” of this Warrant).
(b) Date of Exercise. The “Date of Exercise” of the Warrant shall be defined as the date that the Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit A, duly completed and executed, is received by facsimile or electronic mail by the Company, provided that the Exercise Form is received by the Company and the Exercise Price (if applicable) is satisfied, each as soon as practicable thereafter but in any event no later than the close of business on the second Business Day thereafter. Alternatively, if Holder has not sent advance notice by facsimile or electronic mail, the Date of Exercise shall be defined as the date the original Exercise Form is received by the Company, provided that the Exercise Price, if applicable, is satisfied no later than the close of business on the second Business Day thereafter. Upon delivery of the Exercise Form to the Company by facsimile, electronic mail or otherwise, 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 such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be; provided, however, that (i) in the event of a Cashless Major Exercise in respect of a Qualified Change of Control Transaction, the Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the consummation of such Qualified Change of Control Transaction, (ii) in the event of a Cashless Major Exercise triggered by an event set forth in Section 5(c)(i)(E), the Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares issuable upon such exercise immediately following the occurrence of the Major Transaction and (iii) in the event that the Exercise Price (if applicable) is not satisfied by no later than the second Business Day following the delivery of the Exercise Form, as described above, the Holder shall not be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares until such time as the Exercise Price is received by the Company and the Company shall have no obligation to deliver such Warrant Shares until two (2) Business Days following the Company’s receipt of the full Exercise Price. The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within two (2) Business Days of the date the final Exercise Form is delivered to the Company. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Form and other required information with respect to a partial Exercise shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
(c) Delivery of Common Shares Upon Exercise. Within three (3) Business Days after any Date of Exercise or in the case of a Cashless Major Exercise or a Cashless Default Exercise (each as defined in Section 5(c) below), within the period provided in Section 5(c)(iv) or Section 3(c), as applicable (the “Delivery Period”), the Company shall issue and deliver (or cause its transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) to issue and deliver) in accordance with the terms hereof certificates representing that number of Common Shares (“Exercise Shares”) for the portion of this Warrant converted as shall be determined in accordance herewith. Upon the Exercise of this Warrant or any part hereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including obtaining and delivering an opinion of counsel, to assure that the Transfer Agent shall issue share certificates in the name of Holder (or its nominee) or such other persons as designated by Holder and in such denominations to be specified at Exercise representing the number of Common Shares issuable upon such Exercise. The Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the Transfer Agent and that, if the Unrestricted Conditions (as defined below) have been and continue to be met, unless waived by the Holder, this Warrant and the Exercise Shares will not be restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, may be freely transferred by non-affiliates (as such term is used in Rule 144 under the Securities Act), and certificates representing such securities will not be required to contain a legend restricting the resale or transferability of the Exercise Shares.
(d) Delivery Failure. In addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Exercise Shares by the end of the Delivery Period (a “Delivery Failure”), the Holder will be entitled, by notice to the Company made by electronic mail or facsimile prior to receipt by the Holder of the Exercise Shares, to revoke all or part of the relevant Exercise Form by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company in accordance with Section 2(a) whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of the Exercise Form, except that the liquidated damages described herein shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.
(e) Legends.
(i) Restrictive Legend. The Holder understands that until such time as this Warrant, the Exercise Shares and the Failure Payment Shares (as defined below) have been registered under the Securities Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, this Warrant, the Exercise Shares and the Failure Payment Shares, if any, will be restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act; may be offered, sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of only pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and in accordance with the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, a so-called “4(1) and a half” transaction, in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 below); and any certificate evidencing this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such securities):
“[THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF][THESE SECURITIES] HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF [OR EXERCISED] UNLESS (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS SHALL HAVE BECOME EFFECTIVE WITH REGARD THERETO, OR (II) AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS AVAILABLE IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH OFFER, SALE[,TRANSFER OR EXERCISE][OR TRANSFER].”
“THE SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 16, 2013, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN HOLDERS OF ITS OUTSTANDING SECURITIES. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”
The Holder further understands that until January 17, 2014, this Warrant and any certificate representing the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares will bear the following additional legends:
"UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE CANADIAN PROVINCIAL SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE JANUARY 17, 2014."
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE LISTED ON THE TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE (THE "TSX"); HOWEVER, THE SAID SECURITIES CANNOT BE TRADED THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF THE TSX SINCE THEY ARE NOT FREELY TRANSFERABLE, AND CONSEQUENTLY ANY CERTIFICATE REPRESENTING SUCH SECURITIES IS NOT 'GOOD DELIVERY' IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON THE TSX."
(ii) Removal of Restrictive Legends. This Warrant and the certificates evidencing the Exercise Shares and the Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, shall not contain any legend restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend set forth above in subsection 2(e)(i)): (A) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the sale or resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (B) following any sale of such Warrant, Exercise Shares and/or Failure Payment Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (C) if such Warrant, Exercise Shares and/or Failure Payment Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1), or (D) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) and the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel of the Holder to such effect (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the Effective Date, or at such other time as the Unrestricted Conditions have been met, if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the issuance of this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, without a restrictive legend or removal of the legends required hereunder, provided, however, that in connection with a legend removal request arising under clause (C) or (D) above, the Holder shall deliver to the Company a letter, signature guaranteed, substantially in the form of Exhibit D. If the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the time of issuance of this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares, then such Exercise Shares or Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions are met or such legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 2(e), it will, no later than three (3) Business Days following the delivery (the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Deadline”) by the Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of this Warrant and a certificate representing Exercise Shares and/or Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder this Warrant and/or a certificate (or electronic transfer) representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. For purposes hereof, “Effective Date” shall mean the date that the Registration Statement, that the Company is required to file pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, has been declared effective by the SEC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that for any reason the Unrestricted Conditions shall cease to apply to this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares, then upon notice provided by the Company to the Holder to such effect, the Holder shall promptly return the applicable certificates for this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares to the Transfer Agent, which shall re-issue such certificates bearing the legends contemplated in Section 2(e)(i), and such legends shall remain on such certificates for so long as the Unrestricted Conditions continue to not be met.
(iii) Sale of Unlegended Shares. Holder agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from this Warrant and any certificates representing the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares as set forth in Section 2(e) above is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Holder will sell this Warrant or any Exercise Shares and/or any Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.
(f) Cancellation of Warrant. This Warrant shall be canceled upon the full Exercise of this Warrant, and, as soon as practical after the Date of Exercise, Holder shall be entitled to receive Exercise Shares for the number of shares purchased upon such Exercise of this Warrant, and if this Warrant is not Exercised in full, Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant (containing terms identical to this Warrant) representing any unexercised portion of this Warrant in addition to such Common Shares upon return to the Company of the original Warrant for cancellation; provided, however, as set forth in Section 2(b), Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this warrant if the Warrant is not Exercised in full.
(g) Holder of Record. Each person in whose name this Warrant is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be the Holder of record of such shares on the Date of Exercise of this Warrant, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Common Shares purchased upon the Exercise of this Warrant. Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder any rights as a stockholder of the Company. Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder any rights as stockholder of the Company.
(h) Delivery of Electronic Shares. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Shares issuable upon Exercise or legend removal, or representing Failure Payment Shares, provided the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon written request of the Holder, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its Transfer Agent to electronically transmit the Common Shares issuable upon Exercise to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system. The time periods for delivery and penalties described herein shall apply to the electronic transmittals described herein. Any delivery not effected by electronic transmission shall be effected by deliver by physical certificates. Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder any rights as stockholder of the Company.
(i) Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates, or electronic shares through DWAC, representing the Exercise Shares pursuant to an Exercise on or before the end of the Delivery Period (provided that the Exercise Price, if applicable, has been satisfied as provided in Section 2(b) hereof), other than a failure caused by any incorrect or incomplete information provided by Holder to the Company hereunder, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Exercise Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such Exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Exercise Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the Exercise at issue times and (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, by notice to the Company made by electronic mail or facsimile prior to receipt by the Holder of the Exercise Shares, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Exercise Shares for which such Exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of Common Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its Exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted Exercise to cover the sale of Common Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing Common Shares upon Exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(j) Additional Representation. Unless the Holder shall have delivered a Representation Notice (as defined below) in connection therewith, each delivery of an Exercise Form in connection with a Cash Exercise shall constitute a representation that upon such Cash Exercise, the Holder will acquire the Warrant Shares as principal for its own account, for investment purposes only, and not with a view towards, the sale or distribution of the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that no such representations shall be construed as constituting an agreement by the Holder to hold any of the Warrant Shares for any minimum or other specific term and the Holder shall reserve the right to dispose of such Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. In addition, unless the Holder shall have delivered a Representation Notice (as defined below) in connection therewith, each delivery of an Exercise Form in connection with a Cash Exercise shall constitute a representation that, as of the date of such Cash Exercise, the Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act. If the Holder is unable to make the representations set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 2(j) at the time it delivers its Exercise Form in respect of a Cash Exercise, the Holder shall notify the Company in writing that it is not making such representations (a “Representation Notice”). If the Holder delivers a Representation Notice in connection with a Cash Exercise, it shall be a condition to the Holder’s Cash Exercise of this Warrant that the Company receive such other representations as the Company considers reasonably necessary to assure the Company that the issuance of Warrant Shares upon such Cash Exercise of this Warrant shall not violate any United States or state securities laws.
3. Payment of Warrant Exercise Price for Cash Exercise or Cashless Exercise; Cashless Major Exercise and Cashless Default Exercise.
(a) Exercise Price. The Exercise Price (“Exercise Price”) shall initially equal $1.94 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms hereof, including but not limited to Section 5 below.
Payment of the Exercise Price may be made by either of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Holder:
(i) Cash Exercise: The Holder may exercise this Warrant in cash, bank or cashier’s check, wire transfer or through a reduction of an amount of principal outstanding under any Notes (as defined in the Facility Agreement) in accordance with Section 2.3(d) of the Facility Agreement, then held by the Holder (a “Cash Exercise”); or
(ii) Cashless Exercise: The Holder, at its option, may exercise this Warrant in a cashless exercise transaction. In order to effect a Cashless Exercise, the Holder shall send to the Company at its principal office a notice of cashless election, in which event the Company shall issue Holder a number of Common Shares computed using the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):
X = Y (A-B)/A
where: X = the number of Common Shares to be issued to Holder.
Y = the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant is being Exercised.
A = the Market Price of one (1) share of Common Shares (for purposes of this Section 3(a)(ii), “Market Price,” as of any date, shall mean the Volume Weighted Average Price (as defined herein) of the Common Shares for the five (5) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding the date in question.
B = the Exercise Price.
As used herein, the “Volume Weighted Average Price” for any security during any period means the volume weighted average sale price on The NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) during such period as reported by, or based upon data reported by, Bloomberg Financial Markets or an equivalent, reliable reporting service mutually acceptable to and hereafter designated by holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants and the Company (“Bloomberg”) or, if NASDAQ is not the principal trading market for such security, the volume weighted average sale price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg during such period, or, if no volume weighted average sale price is reported for such security, then the last closing trade price of such security during such period as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no last closing trade price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the over the counter market by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or in the “pink sheets” by the Pink OTC Market, Inc. If the Volume Weighted Average Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the volume weighted average price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants being Exercised for which the calculation of the volume weighted average price is required in order to determine the Exercise Price of such Warrants. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Shares are traded for any period on NASDAQ, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Shares are then being traded.
For purposes of Rule 144 and sub-section (d)(3)(ii) thereof, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Common Shares issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant in a Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired at the time this Warrant was issued. Moreover, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the holding period for the Common Shares issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant in a Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have commenced on the date this Warrant was issued. As provided in Section 2(b), the Holder shall only be required to physically surrender this Warrant in the event that the Holder is exercising this Warrant in full.
(b) Cashless Major Exercise: To the extent the Holder shall exercise this Warrant as a Cashless Major Exercise pursuant to Section 5(c)(i) below, the Holder shall send to the Company the Exercise Form in the manner set forth in Section 2(a) indicating that the Holder is exercising this Warrant (or any portion thereof) pursuant to a Cashless Major Exercise, in which event the Company shall, at its election, either (i) issue a number of Common Shares equal to the Intrinsic Value (as determined in accordance with Schedule 1 attached hereto) (the “Intrinsic Value”) of the Warrant (or such applicable portion being exercised) divided by the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares for the five (5) Trading Day period immediately preceding the date on which the applicable Major Transaction is consummated, or (ii) redeem the Warrant (or such applicable portion) for an amount in cash equal to the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price (as defined below). The Company shall notify the Holder in writing within two (2) Business Days following receipt of the Exercise Form whether it is electing to treat such Major Transaction (or portion thereof) in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) above.
(c) Cashless Default Exercise. To the extent the Holder exercises this Warrant as a Cashless Default Exercise pursuant to Section 11(b)(i) below, the Holder shall send to the Company the Exercise Form in the manner set forth in Section 2(a) indicating that the Holder is exercising this Warrant pursuant to a Cashless Default Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder, within five (5) Trading Days of the applicable Default Notice, a number of Common Shares (which shares shall be valued at the Volume Weighted Average Price for the five (5) Trading Day period prior to the applicable Default Notice) equal to the greater of (A) the Black Scholes Value (as determined in accordance with Schedule 2 attached hereto) (the “Black Scholes Value”) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Default Notice (as defined below) and (B) the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that the Exercise Shares in respect of such Cashless Default Exercise are issued to the Holder. As provided in Section 2(b), the Holder shall only be required to physically surrender this Warrant in the event that the Holder is exercising this Warrant in full.
(c) Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the closing price or the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares or the arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price, Market Price or any Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price (as defined below), the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the Exercise Form or Major Transaction Early Termination Notice, or other event giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days thereafter submit via facsimile (i) the disputed determination of the closing price or the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price, Market Price or any Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price to the Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company shall use reasonable commercial best efforts to cause the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than five (5) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error, and the Company and the Holder shall each pay one-half of the fees and costs of such investment bank or accountant.
4. Transfer and Registration.
(a) Transfer Rights. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Warrant, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Company, in whole or in part, in person or by attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly completed and endorsed, provided, however, that in the event that the Holder is not the Initial Holder or an Affiliate of the Initial Holder, the assignment form provided for in Section 8 shall include a signature guarantee. This Warrant shall be canceled upon such surrender and, as soon as practicable thereafter, the person to whom such transfer is made shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant or Warrants as to the portion of this Warrant transferred, and Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant as to the portion hereof retained.
(b) Registrable Securities. The Common Shares issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant have registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.
5. Adjustments Upon Certain Events.
(a) Reserved.
(b) Recapitalization or Reclassification. If the Company shall at any time effect a stock split, payment of stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar transaction of such character that the Common Shares shall be changed into or become exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares, then upon the effective date thereof, the number of Common Shares which Holder shall be entitled to purchase upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease in the number of Common Shares by reason of such stock split, payment of stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or similar transaction, and the Exercise Price shall be, in the case of an increase in the number of shares, proportionally decreased and, in the case of decrease in the number of shares, proportionally increased. The Company shall give Holder the same notice it provides to holders of Common Shares of any transaction described in this Section 5(b).
(c) Rights Upon Major Transaction.
(i) Major Transaction. In the event that a Major Transaction (as defined below) occurs, then (1) in the case of a Cash-Out Major Transaction and in the case of a Mixed Major Transaction to the extent of the percentage of the cash consideration in the Mixed Major Transaction (determined in accordance with the definition of a Mixed Major Transaction below), the Holder, at its option, may require the Company to redeem the Holder’s outstanding Warrants in accordance with Section 5(c)(ii) below and (2) in the case of all other Major Transactions and in the case of a Mixed Major Transaction to the extent of the percentage of the consideration represented by securities of a Successor Entity in the Mixed Major Transaction, the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant as a Cashless Major Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall have the right to waive its rights under this Section 5(c) with respect to all or any portion of any Major Transaction, in which event none of the provisions of this Section 5(c)(i) with respect to such rights shall apply to such Major Transaction or portion thereof. Each of the following events shall constitute a “Major Transaction”:
(A) a consolidation, merger, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, business combination or other similar event, (1) following which the holders of Common Shares immediately preceding such consolidation, merger, exchange, recapitalization, reorganization, combination or event either (a) no longer hold a majority of the Common Shares or (b) no longer have the ability to elect a majority of the board of directors of the Company or (2) as a result of which Common Shares shall be changed into (or the Common Shares become entitled to receive) the same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes of shares or securities of the Company or another entity (collectively, a “Change of Control Transaction”);
(B) the sale or transfer of (i) all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or (ii) assets of the Company for a purchase price equal to more than 50% of the Enterprise Value (as defined below) of the Company. For purposes of this clause (B), “Enterprise Value” shall mean (I) the product of (x) the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares on the date the Company delivers the Major Transaction Notice (defined below) multiplied by (y) the per share closing price of the Common Shares on such date plus (II) the amount of the Company’s debt as shown on the latest financial statements filed with the SEC (the “Current Financial Statements”) less (III) the amount of cash and cash equivalents of the Company as shown on the Current Financial Statements;
(C) a purchase, tender or exchange offer made to and accepted by the requisite percentage of the holders of outstanding Common Shares, such that following such purchase, tender or exchange offer a Change of Control Transaction shall have occurred;
(D) the liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or winding-up (or the occurrence of any analogous proceeding) affecting the Company; or
(E) the Common Shares cease to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
(ii) Notice; Major Transaction Early Termination Right; Notice of Cashless Major Exercise. At least thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of any Major Transaction, but, in any event, within five (5) Business Days following the first to occur of (x) the date of the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, or (y) the day following the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made on and after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Major Transaction Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Major Transaction Notice and ending five (5) Trading Days prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction (the “Early Termination Period”), the Holder may require the Company to redeem (an “Early Termination Upon Major Transaction”) all or any portion of this Warrant not eligible to be treated as a Cashless Major Exercise (without taking into consideration the 9.985% Cap) by delivering written notice thereof (“Major Transaction Early Termination Notice”) to the Company, which Major Transaction Early Termination Notice shall indicate the portion of the principal amount (the “Early Termination Principal Amount”) of the Warrant (by reference to the number of shares issuable upon a Cash Exercise of the Warrant) that the Holder is electing to have redeemed. The portion of this Warrant subject to early termination pursuant to this Section 5(c)(ii) (the “Redeemable Shares”), shall be redeemed by the Company at a price (the “Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price”) payable in cash equal to the Intrinsic Value of the Redeemable Shares determined in accordance with Schedule 1 hereto.
To the extent the Holder shall elect to effect a Cashless Major Exercise in respect of a Major Transaction, the Holder shall deliver its Exercise Form in accordance with Section 3(b), within the Early Termination Period.
For the avoidance of doubt, the rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder upon the occurrence of a Major Transaction are conditional upon such Major Transaction being consummated and in the event that Major Transaction for which the Holder is given notice is not consummated, all actions taken under this Section 5(c) shall be deemed to be rescinded and null and void and the Company shall return to the Holder the Warrant (if previously surrendered the Company in connection with an anticipated Major Transaction under this Section 5(c).
Following a Major Transaction that constitutes a Qualified Change of Control Transaction, any portion of this Warrant then remaining outstanding that has not been redeemed pursuant to Section 5(c)(i) or clause (ii) of Section 3(b) or Exercised (whether by Cash Exercise, Cashless Exercise, Cashless Major Exercise or otherwise) shall automatically and immediately convert into Common Shares, and shall be deemed to have been exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction.
(iii) Escrow; Payment of Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price. Following the receipt of a Major Transaction Early Termination Notice or a notice of Cashless Major Exercise from the Holder, the Company shall not effect a Major Transaction that is being treated as an early termination or is eligible to be treated as a Cashless Major Exercise unless it either (a) shall first place into an escrow account with an independent escrow agent, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the closing date of the Major Transaction (the “Major Transaction Escrow Deadline”), an amount in Common Shares or cash, as applicable, equal to the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price and/or applicable Exercise Shares or (b) obtains the written agreement of the Successor Entity that the payment of the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price shall be made to the Holder concurrently with the consummation of such Major Transaction or issuance by the Company of the applicable Exercise Shares shall be made to the Holder immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction, as applicable, and such issuance or payment shall be a condition precedent to consummation of such Major Transaction. The Company shall (i) concurrently upon closing of such Major Transaction, pay or instruct the escrow agent to pay the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price to the Holder or, (ii) immediately prior to the closing of such Major Transaction, deliver or instruct the escrow agent to deliver the applicable Exercise Shares to the Holder, as applicable. For purposes of determining the amount required to be placed in escrow pursuant to the provisions of this subsection (iii) and without affecting the amount of the actual Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price and/or applicable Exercise Shares, the calculation of the price referred to in clause (1) of the first column of Schedule 1 hereto with respect to Stock Price shall be determined based on the Applicable VWAP (as defined on Schedule I) during the five (5) Trading Day period immediately preceding the date that the funds and/or applicable Exercise Shares, as applicable, are deposited with the escrow agent.
(iv) Injunction. Following the receipt of a Major Transaction Early Termination Notice or notice of a Cashless Major Exercise from the Holder, in the event that the Company attempts to consummate a Major Transaction without either (a) placing the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price or applicable Exercise Shares, as applicable, in escrow in accordance with subsection (iii) above, (b) paying the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price or issuing of the applicable Exercise Shares, as applicable, to the Holder prior to consummation of such Major Transaction, or (c) obtaining the written agreement of the Successor Entity described in subsection (iii) above, the Holder shall have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan to prevent the closing of such Major Transaction until the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price is paid to the Holder, in full or the applicable Exercise Shares are delivered, as applicable.
An early termination required by this Section 5(c) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 and shall have priority to payments to holders of Common Shares in connection with a Major Transaction to the extent an early termination required by Section 5(c)(ii) is deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Warrant by the Company, such early termination shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, until the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price is paid in full, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Shares, or in the event the Exercise Date is after the consummation of the Major Transaction, shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity pursuant to Section 5(c). The parties hereto agree that in the event of the early termination of any portion of the Warrant under this Section 5(c), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any premium due under this Section 5(c) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.
For purposes hereof:
“Cash-Out Major Transaction” means a Major Transaction in which the consideration payable to holders of Common Shares in connection with the Major Transaction consists solely of cash.
“Cashless Default Exercise” shall mean an exercise of this Warrant as a “Cashless Default Exercise” in accordance with Section 3(c) and 11(b) hereof.
“Cashless Major Exercise” shall mean an exercise of this Warrant or portion thereof as a “Cashless Major Exercise” in accordance with Section 3(b) and 5(c)(i) hereof.
“Eligible Market” means the over the counter Bulletin Board, the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the NYSE Arca, the NASDAQ Capital Market, the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NYSE MKT or the TSX.
“Mixed Major Transaction” means a Major Transaction in which the consideration payable to the shareholders of the Company consists partially of cash and partially of securities of a Successor Entity. If the Successor Entity is a Publicly Traded Successor Entity, the percentage of consideration represented by securities of such Successor Entity shall be equal to the percentage that the value of the aggregate anticipated number of shares of the Publicly Traded Successor Entity to be issued to holders of Common Shares of the Company represents in comparison to the aggregate value of all consideration, including cash consideration, in such Mixed Major Transaction, as such values are set forth in any definitive agreement for the Mixed Major Transaction that has been executed at the time of the first public announcement of the Major Transaction or, if no such value is determinable from such definitive agreement, based on the closing market price for shares of the Publicly Traded Successor Entity on its principal securities exchange on the Trading Day preceding the first public announcement of the Mixed Major Transaction. If the Successor Entity is a Private Successor Entity, the percentage of consideration represented by securities of such Successor Entity shall be determined in good-faith by the Company's Board of Directors
“Parent Entity” of a Person means an entity that, directly or indirectly, controls the applicable Person and whose common stock or equivalent equity security is quoted or listed on an Eligible Market, or, if there is more than one such Person or Parent Entity, the Person or Parent Entity with the largest public market capitalization as of the date of consummation of a Major Transaction.
“Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity and a government or any department or agency thereof.
“Private Successor Entity” means a Successor Entity that is not a Publicly Traded Successor Entity.
“Publicly Traded Successor Entity” means a Successor Entity that is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market (as defined above).
“Successor Entity” means any Person purchasing the Company’s assets or Common Shares, or any successor entity resulting from such Major Transaction, or if the Warrant is to be exercisable for shares of capital stock of its Parent Entity (as defined above), its Parent Entity.
(d) Exercise Price Adjusted. As used in this Warrant, the term “Exercise Price” shall mean the purchase price per share specified in Section 3(a) of this Warrant, until the occurrence of an event stated in this Section 5 or otherwise set forth in this Warrant, and thereafter shall mean said price as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the provisions of said subsection. No adjustment made pursuant to any provision of this Section 5 shall have the net effect of increasing the Exercise Price in relation to the split adjusted and distribution adjusted price of the Common Shares.
(e) Adjustments: Additional Shares, Securities or Assets. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5 or otherwise, Holder shall, upon Exercise of this Warrant, become entitled to receive shares and/or other securities or assets (other than Common Shares) then, wherever appropriate, all references herein to Common Shares shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares and/or other securities or assets; and thereafter, to the extent that such shares and/or other securities have not been distributed to the Holder, the number of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 5.
(f) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice (an “Exercise Price Adjustment Notice”) setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like Warrant setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of Common Shares and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon Exercise of the Warrant. For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides an Exercise Price Adjustment Notice pursuant to this Section 5(f), upon the occurrence of any event that leads to an adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Holder would be entitled to receive a number of Exercise Shares based upon the new Exercise Price, as adjusted, for exercises occurring on or after the date of such adjustment, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the adjusted Exercise Price in the Exercise Form.
6. Fractional Interests.
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant, but on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder may purchase only a whole number of Common Shares. If, on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder would be entitled to a fractional share of Common Shares or a right to acquire a fractional share of Common Shares, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of Common Shares issuable upon Exercise shall be the next higher whole number of shares.
7. Reservation of Shares.
From and after the date hereof, the Company shall at all times reserve for issuance such number of authorized and unissued Common Shares (or other securities substituted therefor as herein above provided) as shall be sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price. If at any time the number of Common Shares authorized and reserved for issuance is below the number of shares sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant (a “Share Authorization Failure”) (based on the Exercise Price in effect from time to time), the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of shareholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company’s obligations under this Section 7, in the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, and using its best efforts to obtain shareholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares. The Company covenants and agrees that upon the Exercise of this Warrant, all Common Shares issuable upon such Exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of any Person. The Company covenants and agrees that all Common Shares issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be approved for listing on NASDAQ, or, if that is not the principal United States trading market for the Common Shares, such Eligible Market on which the Common Shares are traded or listed.
8. Restrictions on Transfer; TSX Restrictions.
(a) Registration or Exemption Required. This Warrant has been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Regulation D and exempt from state registration or qualification under applicable state laws. None of the Warrant, the Exercise Shares or Failure Payment Shares may be offered, sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or exercised except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws, which exemption may include, without limitation, if applicable, a so-called “4(1) and a half” transaction.
(b) Assignment. Subject to Section 8(a), the Holder may offer, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (a “Transfer”) this Warrant, in whole or in part; provided that the Holder may not Transfer any portion of this Warrant with respect to less than the lesser of (x) two hundred and fifty thousand (250,000) Warrant Shares (including for purposes of determining whether clause (x) has been satisfied with respect to a Transfer by the Initial Holder, the Transfer by the Initial Holder or any Affiliate of the Initial Holder of any Warrants issued pursuant to Section 2.10 of the Facility Agreement) or (y) all remaining Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant; and, provided further, that for so long as the Common Shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), the Holder may not Transfer any portion of this Warrant to any person or entity to the extent that, assuming a Cash Exercise by such transferee of the transferred portion of the Warrant immediately following such transfer (without regard to the 9.985% Cap), the beneficial ownership (determined with reference to Section 90 of the Securities Act (Ontario)) of Common Shares of such transferee would exceed 9.99% of the total number of Common Shares of the Company then issued and outstanding (the “TSX Transfer Restriction”). In connection with any such Transfer of this Warrant, the Holder shall deliver a written notice to Company, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B, indicating the Person or Persons to whom the Warrant shall be assigned and the respective number of warrants to be assigned to each assignee, together, if applicable, with the legal opinion referenced below. In addition, in connection with the Transfer of this Warrant (or any portion thereof), at a time that the Common Shares are traded on the TSX, the Holder shall obtain a Transferee Representation Letter substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E hereto (the “Transferee Representation Letter”). The Company shall effect the assignment within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such written notice (the “Transfer Delivery Period”) and, if applicable, Transferee Representation Letter, and shall deliver to the assignee(s) designated by Holder a Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and terms for the appropriate number of shares, and shall deliver to the assignor a Warrant for the number of shares, if any, with respect to which the Warrant had not been assigned. Such Warrants shall bear any legends required by this Warrant, the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. This Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant, and shall be enforceable by any such Holder. For avoidance of doubt: (1) in the event Holder notifies the Company that such Transfer is being made in a so called “4(1) and a half” transaction, the parties hereto agree that an opinion of outside counsel for the Holder of recognized standing, or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Company, delivered to counsel for the Company substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C shall be the only evidence required by the Company in order to effect such Transfer in such “4(1) and a half” transaction and (2) for purposes of determining whether the TSX Transfer Restriction has been complied with, the Holder shall be entitled to rely, without independent investigation, upon the representations set forth in the Transferee Representation Letter.
(c) PIF Submission. In connection with the issuance of this Warrant, the relevant Affiliate of the Initial Holder has submitted to the TSX a completed and executed Personal Information Form (“PIF”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Initial Holder shall not be permitted to effect a Cash Exercise or a Cashless Exercise hereunder prior to receipt of a written communication (including, without limitation, an email communication) from the appropriate branch of the TSX indicating that the TSX is satisfied with the PIF (such communication to be hereinafter referred to as the “TSX PIF Approval”). For the avoidance of doubt, regardless of whether the TSX PIF Approval has been obtained, the Initial Holder shall be permitted to Transfer this Warrant, in whole or in part, at any time pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8.
9. Noncircumvention.
The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be reasonably required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any Common Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.
10. Events of Failure.
(a) Definition.
The occurrence of each of the following shall be considered to be an “Event of Failure.”
(i) A Delivery Failure occurs, where a “Delivery Failure” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to use its best efforts to deliver Exercise Shares to the Holder within any applicable Delivery Period;
(ii) A Legend Removal Failure occurs, where a “Legend Removal Failure” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to use its best efforts to issue this Warrant and/or Exercise Shares without a restrictive legend, or fails to use its best efforts to remove a restrictive legend, when and as required under Section 2(e) hereof;
(iii) a Transfer Delivery Failure occurs, where a “Transfer Delivery Failure” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to use its best efforts to deliver a Warrant within any applicable Transfer Delivery Period; and
(iv) a Registration Failure (as defined below).
For purpose hereof, “Registration Failure” means that (A) the Company fails to file with the SEC on or before the Filing Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) any Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement, (B) the Company fails to use best efforts to obtain effectiveness with the SEC, prior to the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), and if such Registration Statement is not so filed prior to the Registration Deadline, as soon as possible thereafter, of any Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) that is required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement, or fails to use best efforts to keep such Registration Statement current and effective as required in Section 3 of the Registration Rights Agreement, (C) The Company fails to file any additional Registration Statements required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) of the Registration Rights Agreement on or before the Additional Filing Deadline or fails to use best efforts to cause such new Registration Statement to become effective on or before the Additional Registration Deadline, and if such effectiveness does not occur within such period, as soon as possible thereafter, (D) the Company fails to file any amendment to any Registration Statement, or any additional Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement within thirty (30) days of the applicable Registration Trigger Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), or fails to use best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective within ninety (90) days of the applicable Registration Trigger Date, and, if such effectiveness does not occur within such period, as soon as possible thereafter, (E) any Registration Statement required to be filed under the Registration Rights Agreement, after its initial effectiveness and during the Registration Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), lapses in effect or sales of all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) cannot otherwise be made thereunder (whether by reason of the Company’s failure to amend or supplement the prospectus included therein in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company’s failure to file and, use best efforts to obtain effectiveness with the SEC of an additional Registration Statement or amended Registration Statement required pursuant to Sections 2(a)(ii) or 3(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement, as applicable, or otherwise), and (F) the Company fails to provide a commercially reasonable written response to any comments to any Registration Statement submitted by the SEC within twenty (20) days of the date that such SEC comments are received by the Company.
(b) Failure Payments; Determination. The Company understands that any Event of Failure (as defined above) could result in economic loss to the Holder. In the event that any Event of Failure occurs, as compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Holder an amount payable, at the Company’s option, either (i) in cash or (ii) in Common Shares that are valued for these purposes at the Volume Weighted Average Price during the five (5) Trading Day period immediately preceding the date of the Failure Delivery Date (as defined below) (“Failure Payments”) (which shares can be issued pursuant to a registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, at the option of the Company), in each case equal to 18% per annum (or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less) of the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Failure Delivery Date (as recalculated on the first Business Day of each month thereafter for as long as Failure Payments shall continue to accrue), which shall accrue daily from the date of such Event of Failure until the Event of Failure is cured, compounded monthly, provided, however, the Holder shall only receive up to such amount of Common Shares in respect of Failure Payments such that Holder and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Shares would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) shall not collectively beneficially own greater than 9.985% of the total number of Common Shares of the Company then issued and outstanding. For purposes of clarification, it is agreed and understood that Failure Payments shall continue to accrue following any Event of Default until the applicable Default Amount is paid in full.
Notwithstanding the above, in the event that the Company has failed to use best efforts to obtain effectiveness with the SEC of a Registration Statement and (i) has, by the Filing Deadline (as defined the Registration Rights Agreement) filed such Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the number of shares required by the Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) has responded in writing to any comments to the Registration Statement that the Company has received from the SEC, within seven (7) Business Days of such receipt, and nevertheless the SEC has not declared effective a Registration Statement covering the full number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants by the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) then, the Failure Payments attributable to such late Registration Effectiveness shall be reduced from 18% to 15% (calculated as set forth above). The Company shall satisfy any Failure Payments under this Section pursuant to Section 10(c) below. Failure Payments are in addition to any Shares that the Holder is entitled to receive upon Exercise of this Warrant.
(c) Payment of Accrued Failure Payments. The Common Shares or cash in satisfaction of the accrued Failure Payment shall be issued and delivered or paid, as the case may be, on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day of each month following a month in which Failure Payments accrued (such date of delivery the “Failure Delivery Date”). Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages (to the extent in excess of the Failure Payments) for the Company’s Event of Failure, and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). Notwithstanding the above, if a particular Event of Failure results in an Event of Default pursuant to Section 11 hereof, then the Failure Payment, for that Event of Failure only, shall be considered to have been satisfied upon payment to the Holder of an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Failure Payment, or (ii) the Default Amount, payable in accordance with Section 11.
(d) Maximum Interest Rate. Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Holder and thus refunded to the Company.
11. Default.
(a) Events Of Default. Each of the following events shall be considered to be an “Event of Default,” unless waived by the Holder:
(i) Failure To Effect Registration. With respect to all Registration Failures, a Registration Failure occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than thirty (30) days (or forty-five (45) days in the case where the Company (i) has, by the Filing Deadline (as defined the Registration Rights Agreement) filed a Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering this Warrant and the number of shares required by the Registration Rights Agreement, and (ii) has responded in writing to any comments to the Registration Statement that the Company has received from the SEC, within seven (7) Business Days of such receipt, and nevertheless the SEC has not declared effective a Registration Statement covering this Warrant and the Shares by the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)), and such Registration Failure relates solely to the Company’s failure to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and with respect to a Registration Failure provided in clause (E) of the definition of “Registration Failure”, such Registration Failure occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than forty-five (45) days.
(ii) Failure To Deliver Common Shares. A Delivery Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than twenty (20) days; or at any time the Company announces or states in writing that it will not honor its obligations to issue Common Shares to the Holder upon Exercise by the Holder of the Exercise rights of the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.
(iii) Legend Removal Failure. A Legend Removal Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period of twenty (20) days.
(iv) Transfer Delivery Failure. Transfer Delivery Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period of twenty (20) days; and
(v) Corporate Existence; Major Transaction. (A) The Company has failed to place the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price or the Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of a Cashless Major Exercise, as the case may be, into escrow or obtain the written agreement of the Successor Entity as described in Section 5(c)(ii), or the Company has failed to instruct the escrow agent to release such amount or such shares, as the case may be, to the Holder pursuant to Section 5(c)(ii), or (B) the Company has failed to obtain the written agreement of the Successor Entity as described in Section 5(c)(ii).
(b) Mandatory Early Termination.
(i) Mandatory Early Termination Amount; Cashless Default Exercise. If any Events of Default shall occur then, unless waived by the Holder, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, at the option of the Holder, such option exercisable through the delivery of written notice to the Company by such Holder (the “Default Notice”), the Company shall have the right to terminate the outstanding amount of this Warrant and pay to the Holder (a “Mandatory Early Termination”), in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Holder within two (2) Business Days following receipt of the Default Notice, an amount payable in cash (the “Mandatory Early Termination Amount” or the “Default Amount”) equal to the greater of (i) the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Default Notice and (ii) the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that the Mandatory Early Termination Amount is paid to the Holder. In the event the Company does not exercise its right to consummate a Mandatory Early Termination, then the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant pursuant to a Cashless Default Exercise in accordance with Section 3(c) above.
The Mandatory Early Termination Amount shall be payable within five (5) Business Days following the date of the applicable Default Notice.
(ii) Liquidated Damages. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the sums payable as Failure Payments or pursuant to a Mandatory Early Termination shall give rise to liquidated damages and not penalties. The parties further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred by the Holder is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified bear a reasonable proportion and are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be incurred by the Holder, and (iii) the parties are sophisticated business parties and have been represented by sophisticated and able legal and financial counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm’s length.
The Default Amount, together with all other amounts payable hereunder, shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.
(c) Posting Of Bond. In the event that any Event of Default occurs hereunder, the Company may not raise as a legal defense (in any Lawsuit, as defined below, or otherwise) or justification to such Event of Default any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless the Company has posted a surety bond (a “Surety Bond”) for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 130% of the aggregate Surety Bond Value (as defined below) of all of the Holder’s Warrants (the “Bond Amount”), which Surety Bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment.
For purposes hereof, a “Lawsuit” shall mean any lawsuit, arbitration or other dispute resolution filed by either party herein pertaining to any of this Warrant, the Facility Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
“Surety Bond Value,” for the Warrants shall mean 130% of the of the Black-Scholes Value (as determined in accordance with Bloomberg OV function) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that such bond goes into effect.
(d) Injunction and Posting of Bond. In the event that the Event of Default referred to in subsection (c) above pertains to the Company’s failure to deliver unlegended Common Shares to the Holder pursuant to a Warrant Exercise, legend removal request, or otherwise, the Company may not refuse such unlegended share delivery based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless an injunction from a court, on prior notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining Exercise of all or part of said Warrant shall have been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company has posted a Surety Bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of the Bond Amount, which Surety Bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment.
(e) Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches And Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant, the Facility Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
12. Holder’s Early Terminations; TSX Notice.
(a) Mechanics of Holder’s Early Terminations. In the event that the Company does not deliver the applicable Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price or Default Amount or the Exercise Shares in respect of a Cashless Major Exercise or a Cashless Default Exercise, as the case may be, to the Holder within the time period or as otherwise required pursuant to the terms hereof, at any time thereafter by notice to the Company made by electronic mail or facsimile prior to receipt by the Holder of such Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price or Default Amount or Exercise Shares, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of early termination, Cashless Major Exercise or Cashless Default Exercise, as the case may be, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Warrant that was submitted for early termination or exercise. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable early termination or exercise, as the case may be, shall be null and void with respect to such applicable portion of this Warrant, and (y) the Company shall immediately return this Warrant, or issue a new Warrant to the Holder representing the portion of this Warrant that was submitted for early termination or exercise. The Holder’s delivery of a notice voiding an early termination or exercise and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments of Failure Payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Warrant subject to such notice.
(b) TSX Notice of Certain Payments and Issuances. Prior to any (i) issuance of Exercise Shares pursuant to a Cashless Default Exercise, (ii) payment of Default Amounts, (iii) issuance of Common Shares in satisfaction of accrued Failure Payments or (iv) payment of cash in satisfaction of accrued Failure Payments, the Company shall deliver to the TSX a letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto (the “TSX Letter”), notifying the TSX of such payment or issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure by the Company to deliver the TSX Letter shall in no way diminish the Company’s obligations to make such payments or issuances.
13. Benefits of this Warrant.
Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to confer upon any person other than the Company and Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Warrant and this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and Holder.
14. Governing Law.
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York.

Pursuant to Section 2.11 of that certain Facility Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”), dated as of September 16, 2013, between the Company and the lenders set forth on the signature page thereto (the “Lenders”), the Company has delivered to the Lenders a Share Issuance Notice (as defined in the Facility Agreement), dated ____ __, ____. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Facility Agreement. We have been asked to advise you whether, in our opinion, the Common Shares to be issued on the Interest Payment Date in respect of the Share Issuance Notice pursuant to Section 2.11 of the Facility Agreement (the “Shares”) qualify as Freely Tradeable Common Shares.
In rendering our opinion, we have assumed, with your permission, that none of the Lenders is, or has been during the previous ninety (90) days, an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of such term under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and that any sales of the Shares in reliance upon this letter will be made for such Lender’s own account.
Based upon, and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that all conditions to the resale by the Lenders of Shares under Rule 144(b)(1)(i) under the Securities Act have been satisfied and that the Shares are eligible for resale by the Lenders under Rule 144(b)(1)(i) under the Securities Act without restriction and without the need for registration under any applicable federal or state securities laws, including, without limitation, the Securities Act.

The Company had cash of $13.7 million as of June 30, 2013, a decrease of $5.4 million from December 31, 2012, and had used cash in operations of $21 6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This cash consumption was significantly more than prior periods owing to both increased support of its research programs and the cost of transitioning the business from Canada to the U.S. While management believes the Company will have adequate working capital to fund the Company’s operations beyond the next 12 months, it is dependent on (i) the ability of the Company to generate positive cash flow from operations by increasing order bookings and revenue; (ii) the ability of management to generate additional funding and; (iii) the successful transition of operations to the U.S. to provide lower manufacturing costs and operating expenses.
As noted above, Management plans to look for additional sources of financing in order to maintain planned research programs in robotics and ensure there is sufficient working capital in the business to support the cyclical cash requirements of operations. While there is no guarantee that the Company can raise additional capital, the Company has a history of being able to successfully fund the business through the equity markets as needed. If the Company is not able to raise additional capital, they may need to eliminate or suspend research, development and corporate activities if the operating plans as noted above are not achieved.
2. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared based on the accounting principles and practices used by the entity in preparing its annual statements and in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the preparation of interim financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and note disclosures required for compliance with U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2012 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S GAAP.
In the opinion of management all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in these financial statements. The preparation of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2013.
Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars (US dollars). The term dollars and the symbol $ refer to the U.S. dollar.

3. | RECENTLY ADOPTED OR ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
On February 5, 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued authoritative guidance (ASU 2013-02), which further revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance requires entities to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in the net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be classified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, entities are required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This guidance was effective for the Company beginning after December 15, 2012. The guidance affects presentation only and did not have an impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

Vested and expected to vest as of June 30, 2013 | 4,399,596 | $ | 4.42 | 3.5 | $ | 357,604 |
The aggregate intrinsic value, in the table above, represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the aggregate difference between the closing stock price of the Company's common shares on June 30, 2013 and the exercise price for the in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders if all in-the-money options had been exercised on June 30, 2013. The total intrinsic value of the stock options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, calculated using the average market price during the period, was $17 and $19, respectively. The total intrinsic value of the stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, calculated using the average market price during the period, was $93 and $276, respectively.
The following assumptions were used in the calculation of the fair value of options granted in the period using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:
June 30, 2013 | ||||
Weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the period (CDN$) | $ | 1.58 | ||
Risk-free interest rate | 1.28 | % | ||
Dividend yield | 0 | % | ||
Expected life of the options | 4.25 years | |||
Expected volatility of the underlying stock | 61.24 | % |
Expected volatilities are based on the historic volatility of the Company's shares as this represents the most appropriate basis to determine the expected volatility in future periods.

7. | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (continued) |
The following table presents information on unvested stock options for the period:
Number of options | Weighted average grant date fair value (CDN$) | |||||||
Balance as at January 1, 2013 | 2,314,466 | $ | 2.17 | |||||
Granted during the period | 1,100,646 | 1.58 | ||||||
Vested during the period | (373,937 | ) | 2.16 | |||||
Forfeited during the period | (159,061 | ) | 1.98 | |||||
Balance as of June 30, 2013 | 2,882,114 | $ | 1.95 |
As of June 30, 2013, there was $3,638 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options. This will be expensed over the vesting period, which on a weighted-average basis, results in a period of approximately 2.8 years. The total fair value of stock options vested during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $783 and $861, respectively.
8. | INCOME TAXES |
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company’s income tax expense was $10 and $26, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company’s income tax expense was $Nil and $18, respectively. The Company has not recorded a deferred tax asset as of June 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012 because a valuation allowance has been provided against the full amount of the deferred tax assets for both periods.
As of June 30, 2013, the Company has no unrecognized income tax benefits and has not accrued any amounts for interest or penalties related to unrecognized income tax benefits. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had no unrecognized income tax benefits and had not accrued any amounts for interest or penalties related to unrecognized income tax benefits.
The Company files tax returns in Australia, Belgium, Canada, India, Japan, Germany and the United States. The years 2008 to 2012 remain subject to examination by tax authorities.
9. | BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE |
When the Company is in a loss position, there are no adjustments to the weighted number of shares outstanding for the purposes of calculating diluted loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, 218,510 and 325,386 stock options could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future, respectively. These options were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti- dilutive for the periods presented.
10. | SEGMENTED INFORMATION |
The Company operates as one business segment. The Company develops, assembles and installs VISIUS Surgical Theatres that are used for a variety of medical applications, as well as providing ancillary products and services and extended maintenance services.
11. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB standard ASC 820 which defines fair value, establishes a framework, prescribes methods for measuring fair value and outlines additional disclosure requirements on the use of fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be recovered for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price in the principal or most advantageous market for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date). Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability utilizing a hierarchy of three different valuation techniques, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Financial instruments measured at fair value should be classified into one of three levels that distinguish fair value measurements by the significance of the inputs used for valuation.
Xxxxx 0 - Xxxxxxxxxx quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Xxxxx 0 - Xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxx Xxxxx 0 quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or corroborated by observable market data; and
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. Valuation techniques are primarily model-based.
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis have been segregated into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value measurement date in the table below. For cash, fair value approximates cost.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2013 in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis are summarized below:

12. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
The Company has entered into an agreement, which meets the definition of a guarantee. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has agreed to be legally bound to pay the obligation. The Company’s maximum obligation under this agreement is $1,179 and the obligation expires once the Company satisfies the conditions of the original agreement. To offset the arrangement the Company entered into a reciprocal arrangement with a financial institution to cover half the amount of the obligation, should the need arise. The financial institution, involved in the reciprocal arrangement did not require any of the Company’s assets to be pledged as collateral. The Company has not recorded a liability related to the original arrangement.
The Company periodically enters into agreements that include limited intellectual property indemnifications that are customary in the industry. These guarantees generally require the Company to indemnify the other party for certain damages and costs incurred as a result of third party intellectual property claims arising from these transactions. The nature of the intellectual property indemnification obligations prevent the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay to its customers and suppliers. The Company has not made any indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification obligations.

13. | RESTRUCTURING COSTS |
The Company is moving its operations to the U.S. in order to be closer to its customers and to have access to critical suppliers and personnel. The Company expects to incur total costs of approximately $5.2 million related to this activity. These costs are broken down as approximately $1.1 million for one-time employee termination benefits, approximately $0.5 million for contract termination costs, and approximately $3.6 million for other associated costs such as moving expenses. Since the inception of the program, we have incurred a total of $1.1 million of one-time employee termination costs and $1.6 million of other associated costs. Adjustments are primarily the reversal of prior period accruals for employee severance and retention. The accruals were determined no longer necessary because the employees voluntarily terminated their employment before the retention and severance date. The following is a roll-forward of the accrued liability related to restructuring costs for the period:
One-time employee | Contract termination | Other associated | ||||||||||
termination benefits | costs | costs | ||||||||||
Balance at January 1, 2013 | $ | 1,341 | - | $ | 72 | |||||||
