SCHEDULE
“A”
This
is Schedule “A” to the subscription agreement relating to the purchase of Series
(J) Debentures of ADB Systems International Ltd.
TERMS
OF THE OFFERING
1. Offering.
Secured subordinate convertible debentures (the “Debentures”)
of the Corporation subscribed for hereunder form the total sale by the
Corporation (the “Offering”)
of a maximum of $900,000 principal amount of Debentures. The Offering is being
made on a best efforts private placement basis.
The
Debentures will bear simple interest at an annual rate of 11% of the principal
amount of the Debentures outstanding from time to time, payable (i) for interest
owing in respect of the first 12 months following the Closing Date (as defined
herein) (the “Initial
Period”)
calculated and payable in arrears upon the earlier of Conversion (as defined
below) of the Debentures or the date which is 12 months following the Closing
Date; and (ii) on the earlier of Conversion of the Debentures or the fifth
anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Maturity Date”)
for interest owing in respect of the period commencing on the date that is
twelve months and one day following the Closing Date, and ending on the fifth
anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Subsequent
Period”).
Interest owing in respect of the Initial Period is payable in full by the
issuance of a number of Common Shares calculated pursuant to the following
formula:
A÷B,
where:
A=
the accrued interest payable (in dollars); and
B=
the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares over the 20
day
trading period ending at the close of business on the day prior to the date
on
which the interest payment is due, reduced by the maximum percentage discount
permitted by the Toronto Stock Exchange,
provided
that the maximum aggregate number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to the
above-noted calculation is 6,529,959 and in the event the Corporation is
obligated to, and cannot, issue any further Common Shares over and above
6,529,959, it shall satisfy the balance of the interest payment owing in cash
by
paying the amount calculated as (i) the total amount of accrued interest
payable, less (ii) the value of the Common Shares issued in satisfaction of
interest payments.
Interest
owing in respect of the Subsequent Period is payable in cash upon the earlier
of
i) Conversion (as defined below); or ii) the Maturity Date.
Interest
will continue to accrue until paid. At any time up to and including the Maturity
Date, all or any portion of the principal amount of the Debentures outstanding
from time to time will be convertible (“Conversion”),
at the option of the holder, provided that the holder complies with the notice
provision therefor, into units of securities of the Corporation (“Units”)
at a conversion price of $0.15 per Unit (the “Conversion
Price”),
subject to adjustments for stock splits, consolidations, other capital
reorganizations, extraordinary dividends or distributions among other
anti-dilution provisions providing adjustments for events that will affect all
security holders equally.
Each
Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Corporation (a
“Common
Share”)
and one Common Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”).
Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share at an exercise
price of $0.20 per share, any time prior to the earlier of (i) the third year
anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the date which is sixty (60) days
following the issuance of a notice by the Corporation to holders confirming
that
the closing price of the common shares of the Corporation on the Toronto Stock
Exchange was greater than or equal to $0.35 for any 10 consecutive trading
days,
following the 4 months and one day hold period from the date of issuance of
the
Warrant.
The
material terms of the Offering, the Debentures and the Underlying Securities
(as
hereinafter defined) are set out in this schedule and in Schedule “B” to this
subscription agreement.
