ARTICLE 2
ISSUE OF WARRANTS
2.1 Issue and Term of Warrants
An aggregate of 8,000,000 warrants (the “Warrants”) entitling the registered holder thereof to acquire an aggregate of 8,000,000 Common Shares are hereby created and authorized to be issued hereunder upon the terms and conditions herein set forth. Each whole Warrant issued hereunder shall entitle the Holder thereof to purchase one Common Share (or such Exercise Proceeds as the Corporation may be required to issue or convey pursuant to the adjustments referred to in Article 4), representing in aggregate approximately 6.49% of the Fully-Diluted Shares at the date hereof, at a price per Common Share equal to the Exercise Price Per Warrant. The Warrants are exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time or times after the date hereof for such Warrants and during the Term, and such Warrants that have not been exercised at the Time of Expiry shall then expire and terminate.
2.2 Form of Warrant Certificate
Warrant Certificates in definitive form evidencing the Warrants issued pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be executed by the Corporation and delivered to the Investor or to its order on the date hereof Warrant Certificates shall be in the form annexed hereto as Schedule “A” and shall be signed as indicated on Schedule “A.” If required by applicable law, the Warrant Certificates and certificates representing the Exercise Proceeds shall be legended to comply therewith.
2.3 Warrantholder not Shareholder
Nothing in this Agreement nor the holding of a Warrant evidenced by a Warrant Certificate or otherwise shall be construed as conferring upon a Warrantholder any right or interest whatsoever as a shareholder of the Corporation.
2.4 Issue and Substitution for Lost Warrant Certificates
In case any of the Warrant Certificates shall be mutilated or be lost, destroyed or stolen, the Corporation shall issue a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor as the one mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen in exchange for and in place of and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in lieu of and in substitution for such lost, destroyed or stolen Warrant Certificate. In the case of loss, destruction or theft of a Warrant Certificate, the applicant for a new Warrant Certificate shall furnish to the Corporation evidence of ownership and of the loss, destruction or theft of the Warrant Certificate and the applicant may also be required to furnish an indemnity, bond or security in amount and form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation.
2.5 Exchange of Warrant Certificates
Warrant Certificates may be exchanged for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates entitling the Holder thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of Common Shares as are purchasable under the Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates so exchanged.
2.6 Legending
All Warrant Certificates, unless issued on or subsequent to January 3, 2012 (the “Free Trade Date”) shall bear the following legends:
“UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE JANUARY 3, 2012.”
5
“THE SECURITIES DELIVERABLE ON EXERCISE HEREOF ARE LISTED ON THE TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE (“TSXV”), HOWEVER, THE SAID SECURITIES CANNOT BE TRADED THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF THE TSXV SINCE THEY ARE NOT FREELY TRANSFERABLE, AND CONSEQUENTLY ANY CERTIFICATE REPRESENTING SUCH SECURITIES IS NOT ‘GOOD DELIVERY’ IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON THE TSXV.”
provided that at any time subsequent to the Free Trade Date any certificate representing such Warrants may be exchanged for a certificate or certificates bearing no such legends. The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees that it will use its reasonable efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered a certificate or certificates representing such Warrants bearing no such legends within five Business Days after receipt of the legended certificates.
ARTICLE 3
EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
3.1 Method of Exercise of Warrants
|
(a)
|
The Holder of any Warrant may exercise the right (the “Exercise Right”) thereby conferred on such Holder to acquire the Common Shares in accordance with this Agreement, in whole or in part, by surrendering, on any Business Day during the Term, to the Corporation at the address for notice to the Corporation set out in Section 7.1 hereof, or at any other address which from time to time is the principal place of business of the Corporation, the Warrant Certificate, with a duly completed exercise notice in substantially the form set out as part of the Warrant Certificate (the “Exercise Notice”). Each such Exercise Notice shall be signed by the Holder, and shall specify the number of Warrants the Holder has elected to exercise and the aggregate purchase price for the Common Shares to be purchased. The Common Shares will be issued in the name of the Holder.
|
|
(b)
|
On the date on which the Holder exercises Warrants pursuant to paragraph 3.1(a) hereof the Holder shall pay to the Corporation an amount equal to the Exercise Price Per Warrant multiplied by the number of Warrants being exercised, by delivering to the Corporation cash or a certified cheque, bank draft or money order in Canadian Dollars in such amount.
|
3.2 Effect of Exercise of Warrants
Upon compliance by the Holder of any Warrant Certificate with the provisions of Section 3.1, the number of Common Shares subscribed for shall be deemed to have been issued and the person to whom such Common Shares are to be issued shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Common Shares on the Exercise Date. Within two Business Days of the Exercise Date, the Corporation shall deliver to the person in whose name the Common Shares so subscribed for are to be issued share certificates (or, in the case of other Exercise Proceeds, other evidences of entitlement) for the appropriate number of Common Shares to which the Warrantholder is entitled.
3.3 Subscription for Less than Entitlement
The Holder of any Warrant Certificate may subscribe for and purchase a number of Common Shares less than the number or amount which the Holder is entitled to purchase pursuant to the surrendered Warrant Certificate. In the event of any purchase of a number of Common Shares less than the number or amount which the Holder is entitled to purchase, the Holder of the Warrant Certificate upon the exercise thereof shall, in addition, be entitled to receive, without charge therefor, a new Warrant Certificate in respect of the balance of the Common Shares which the Holder was entitled to purchase pursuant to the surrendered Warrant Certificate and which were not then purchased.
3.4 Legending
In the event that the Warrants are exercised by the holder prior to the Free Trade Date, the certificates evidencing the Common Shares issuable upon exercise shall bear the following legends:
“UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE JANUARY 3, 2012.”
6
“THE SECURITIES DELIVERABLE ON EXERCISE HEREOF ARE LISTED ON THE TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE (“TSXV”), HOWEVER, THE , SAID SECURITIES CANNOT BE TRADED THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF THE TSXV SINCE THEY ARE NOT FREELY TRANSFERABLE, AND CONSEQUENTLY ANY CERTIFICATE REPRESENTING SUCH SECURITIES IS NOT ‘GOOD DELIVERY’ IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON THE TSXV.”
provided that at any time subsequent to the Free Trade Date any certificate representing such Common Shares may be exchanged for a certificate or certificates bearing no such legends. The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees that it will use its reasonable efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered a certificate or certificates representing such Common Shares bearing no such legends within five Business Days after receipt of the legended certificates.
3.5 Payment of Taxes and Duties
The Corporation shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes including all applicable stamp, registration, bank transaction and Other Taxes (as hereinafter defined) (other than income tax and capital gains tax exigible on the income of the Holder) and other governmental charges that may be imposed in respect of, the issue or delivery of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of a Warrant. For the purposes hereof, “Other Taxes” means any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies.
3.6 Fractional Shares
The Corporation will not be obligated to issue any fraction of a share on the exercise of Warrants. If the Holder would, on the exercise of Warrants, otherwise have acquired a total number of Common Shares that includes a fraction of a Common Share, the Corporation will pay to the Holder, by cheque, in lieu of and in satisfaction for any right to such fractional share, an amount equal to the equivalent fraction of such price as is the equivalent of the Fair Market Value Per Share.
ARTICLE 4
ADJUSTMENTS OF SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS
4.1 Adjustment of Exercise Proceeds
The Exercise Price Per Warrant and number of Common Shares or, after adjustment, the number or amount of other Exercise Proceeds to be acquired by a Warrantholder on exercise of a Warrant, is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of the events and in the manner provided for in this Article 4.
4.2 Share Reorganization
Whenever the Corporation:
|
(a)
|
issues Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares to holders of all or substantially all Common Shares by way of a stock dividend or other distribution;
|
|
(b)
|
subdivides the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares; or
|
|
(c)
|
combines or consolidates the outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of shares,
|
(each of such events being herein called a “Share Reorganization”), then the Exercise Price Per Warrant will be adjusted effective immediately after the record date for such dividend or other distribution or, in the case of a subdivision, combination or consolidation, effective immediately after the record date or the effective date thereof if no record date is fixed, as the case may be, by multiplying the Exercise Price Per Warrant in effect immediately before the record date or effective date by a fraction of which:
|
(i)
|
the numerator is the number of Common Shares outstanding on that record date or effective date before giving effect to the Share Reorganization; and
|
7
|
(ii)
|
the denominator is the number of Common Shares that are or would be outstanding immediately after giving effect to the Share Reorganization (including, in the case where securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares are distributed, the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares on such record date or effective date).
|
4.3 Rights Offering
Whenever the Corporation issues rights, options or warrants to holders of all or substantially all Common Shares pursuant to which such holders are entitled, during a period ending not more than 60 days after the record date as at which holders so entitled are determined (the “Rights Period”), to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for one or more Common Shares or fractions thereof, at a price per share (the “Per Share Cost”) that is less than the Fair Market Value Per Share on that record date (any such issuance not so excepted being herein called a “Rights Offering”), then the Exercise Price Per Warrant will be adjusted, effective immediately after that record date, by multiplying the Exercise Price Per Warrant in effect immediately prior to such record date by the fraction of which:
|
(a)
|
the numerator is the sum of:
|
|
(i)
|
the number of Common Shares outstanding on that record date; and
|
|
(ii)
|
a number determined by dividing the product of the Per Share Cost and
|
|
(A)
|
where the event giving rise to the application of this Section 4.3 was the issue of rights, options or warrants to the holders of Common Shares under which such holders are entitled to subscribe for or purchase additional Common Shares, the maximum number of Common Shares that may be so subscribed for or purchased under the Rights Offering;
|
|
(B)
|
where the event giving rise to the application of this Section 4.3 was the issue of rights, options or warrants to the holders of Common Shares under which such holders are entitled to subscribe for or purchase securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, the number of Common Shares for which the maximum number of securities that may be so subscribed for or purchased under the Rights Offering could have been exchanged or into which they could have been converted;
|
|
by the Fair Market Value Per Share; and
|
|
(b)
|
the denominator is the sum of:
|
|
(i)
|
the number of Common Shares outstanding on that record date; and
|
|
(ii)
|
the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable) pursuant to the Rights Offering.
|
The adjustment will be made successively whenever a record date in respect of a rights offering is fixed, provided that if two or more such record dates or record dates referred to in this Section 4.3 are fixed within a period of 30 days, the adjustment will be made successively as if each of such record dates or dates occurred on the earliest of such record dates or dates. To the extent that any rights, options or warrants are not so issued or any of the rights, options or warrants so issued are not exercised before the expiration thereof, or any convertible securities are not so converted into or exchanged for Common Shares before the expiration of the right to do so, the Exercise Price Per Warrant will be readjusted to the Exercise Price Per Warrant in effect immediately before the record date, and the Exercise Price Per Warrant will be further adjusted based upon the number of additional Common Shares actually delivered upon the exercise of the rights, options or warrants, or issued upon the conversion or exchange of the convertible securities, as the case may be.
8
4.4 Special Distribution
Whenever the Corporation issues by way of a dividend or otherwise distributes to holders of all or substantially all Common Shares:
|
(a)
|
shares of the Corporation;
|
|
(b)
|
evidences of indebtedness;
|
|
(c)
|
cash or other assets; or
|
|
(d)
|
rights, options or warrants to acquire shares or other securities of the Corporation, cash or other assets,
|
|
and such issuance or distribution does not constitute
|
|
(e)
|
a Share Reorganization; or
|
|
(f)
|
a Rights Offering,
|
(any of such non-excluded events being herein called a “Special Distribution”), the Exercise Price Per Warrant will be adjusted, in each case effective immediately after the record date at which holders of Common Shares on which the Special Distribution is paid are determined, to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price Per Warrant in effect on such record date by a fraction of which
|
(g)
|
the numerator is:
|
|
(i)
|
the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date, and the Fair Market Value Per Share on such record date; less
|
|
(ii)
|
the amount by which the aggregate fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) to the holders of Common Shares of such securities or property or other assets so issued or distributed in the Special Distribution exceeds the fair market value of any consideration received therefor by the Corporation from the holders of Common Shares (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation); and
|
|
(h)
|
the denominator is the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Fair Market Value Per Share on such record date.
|
4.5 Corporate Reorganization
Whenever there is:
|
(a)
|
a reclassification of any class or series of shares comprising all or any part of the Exercise Proceeds, a change of any such shares into other shares or securities, any other capital reorganization of the Corporation affecting Common Shares, or an additional issuance of securities, to which none of Sections 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 applies;
|
|
(b)
|
a consolidation, merger or amalgamation of the Corporation with or into another body corporate or plan of arrangement to which the Corporation is a party, in each case resulting in a reclassification of Common Shares or a change of Common Shares into other shares or securities; or
|
|
(c)
|
a transaction whereby all or substantially all of the Corporation’s undertaking and assets become the property of another corporation,
|
9
(any such event being herein called a “Corporate Reorganization”), a Holder who thereafter exercises one or more Warrants will acquire and will accept, for the same aggregate consideration, in lieu of the Exercise Proceeds to which such Holder would otherwise have been entitled, the number or amount and class, series or kind of shares or other securities or property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Corporate Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, such Holder had been the holder of the number or amount of each class, series or kind of Exercise Proceeds that such Holder would have acquired by the exercise of such Warrant or Warrants immediately before the Corporate Reorganization.
4.6 Necessary Corporate Action
As a condition precedent to taking any action that would constitute a Corporate Reorganization, the Corporation will take all action that, in the opinion of counsel to the Corporation, is necessary in order that:
|
(a)
|
the Corporation, any successor to the Corporation, or any successor to its assets and undertaking, may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all the Exercise Proceeds to which Warrantholders would be entitled on the exercise of Warrants thereafter; and
|
|
(b)
|
each Holder of a Warrant that has not been exercised will thereafter be entitled to receive such shares, other securities, property and cash to which such Holder is entitled under Section 4.5, subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with provisions the same, as nearly as may be possible, as those contained in this Article 4.
|
4.7 Adjustments to Numbers of Common Shares Issuable on Exercise of Warrants
If and whenever, pursuant hereto, any adjustment in the Exercise Price Per Warrant occurs as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for:
|
(a)
|
a Share Reorganization;
|
|
(b)
|
a Rights Offering;
|
|
(c)
|
a Special Distribution, if such event constitutes the issue or distribution of:
|
|
(i)
|
Common Shares; or
|
|
(ii)
|
securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares; or
|
|
(iii)
|
rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares;
|
then the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the subsequent exercise of Warrants shall be simultaneously adjusted by multiplying the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction which shall be the reciprocal of the fraction employed in the applicable adjustment of the Exercise Price Per Warrant.
To the extent that any adjustment in subscription rights occurs pursuant to this Section 4.7 as a result of a distribution of exchangeable or convertible securities referred to in Section 4.2 or as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 4.3, the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will be readjusted immediately after the expiration of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the number of Common Shares which would be issuable based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable immediately after such expiration, and will be further readjusted in such manner upon expiration of any further such right.
10
To the extent that any adjustment in subscription rights occurs pursuant to this Section 4.7 as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the distribution of exchangeable or convertible securities or rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 4.4 and based on an expected fair market value of such securities or such rights, options or warrants and expected number of such securities or such rights, options or warrants issued and remaining issuable immediately after expiration, the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will be readjusted immediately after the expiration of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable immediately after such expiration, and will be further readjusted in such manner upon expiration of any further such right.
4.8 Alterations to Adjustment Provisions
If necessary as a result of any Corporate Reorganization, such appropriate alterations as the Board of Directors of the Corporation may determine, acting reasonably and in good faith, will be made to the provisions set forth in this Article 4 with respect to the rights and interests of Warrantholders to the end that such provisions will thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be in relation to any Exercise Proceeds thereafter deliverable on the exercise of a Warrant, and any such adjustment will be made by and set forth in an amendment hereto and will for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment, absent manifest error.
4.9 Adjustment Rules
The following rules and procedures will be applicable to adjustments made pursuant to this Article 4:
|
(a)
|
the adjustments and readjustments provided for in this Article 4 are cumulative and, subject to Section 4.9(b), will apply (without duplication) to successive issues, subdivisions, combinations, consolidations, distributions and other events that require such an adjustment;
|
|
(b)
|
no adjustment in the Exercise Price Per Warrant will be made unless it would result in a change of at least 1% in the then applicable Exercise Price Per Warrant and no adjustment in the Exercise Proceeds will be made unless it will result in a change of the kind of, or of at least 1% in the number of, securities to be delivered as Exercise Proceeds on exercise of a Warrant and any adjustment that, except for the provisions of this paragraph, would have been required to be made, will be carried forward and taken into account in the next adjustment;
|
|
(c)
|
no such adjustment will be made in respect of an event described in Subsections 4.2(a), 4.3 or 4.4 if Warrantholders are entitled to participate in the event on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as if they had exercised their Warrants immediately before the effective date of or record date for the event;
|
|
(d)
|
any dispute that arises at any time with respect to any adjustment or determination made pursuant to this Article 4 (including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a determination under Section 4.10 as to whether any action taken by the Corporation requires that an adjustment be made) shall be finally resolved by arbitration pursuant to the Simplified Arbitration Rules of the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. The arbitrator shall be a Valuator as defined in this Agreement, chosen by the Majority Holders and the Corporation within ten Business Days of the date on which a party notifies the other of a dispute with respect to any adjustment, or requirement for an adjustment, pursuant to this Article 4. In the event that the parties fail or neglect to appoint a Valuator to act as arbitrator, then that appointment shall be made by the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. within ten days after being requested by any party to make such appointment. The Valuator shall conduct the arbitration and issue an award as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days of his or her appointment. The award shall be final and binding on the Corporation and all Holders, with no right of appeal, even on a question of law; and
|
|
(e)
|
in the absence of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation fixing the record date for an event referred to in Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, or 4.5, and except as otherwise required by law, the Corporation will be deemed to have fixed as the record date therefor the date on which the event is effected.
|
11
4.10 Other Actions
If the Corporation shall take any action of the nature of those described in Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, or 4.5 affecting the Common Shares, other than actions described in those Sections, which would affect the rights of the Holder to acquire Exercise Proceeds hereunder, the Exercise Proceeds will be adjusted, subject to the prior written consent of any National Securities Exchange on which the Common Shares are listed, where required, in such manner, and at such time, as the Board of Directors of the Corporation determines, acting reasonably and in good faith, will result in an adjustment to the rights of the Holder to receive Exercise Proceeds and/or an adjustment to the Exercise Price Per Warrant that is consistent in principle with the principles governing the basis on which such adjustment is to be made in the event that the Corporation takes one or more of the actions specifically referred to in Section 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, or 4.5.
4.11 Postponement of Issue of Shares, etc.
In any case in which this Article 4 shall require an adjustment to take effect immediately after the effective date of or record date for an event, and a Warrant is exercised after that date and before the consummation of the event, the Corporation may postpone until such consummation:
|
(a)
|
issuing to the Holder such of the Exercise Proceeds to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise as exceeds those to which the Holder would have been entitled if the Warrant had been exercised immediately before that date; and
|
|
(b)
|
delivering to the Holder any distributions declared with respect to such additional Exercise Proceeds,
|
provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver to the Holder an appropriate instrument evidencing the Holder’s right, upon the occurrence of the event requiring the adjustment, to an adjustment in the Exercise Price Per Warrant or the number of Common Shares issuable on the exercise of the Warrants and to such distributions declared with respect to any additional Exercise Proceeds issuable on the exercise of the Warrant.
4.12 Notice of Certain Events
At least 30 days (or, if such period is not practicable, as soon as is practicable) before the effective date of or record date for an event referred to in Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, or 4.5 that requires or might require an adjustment in the Exercise Price Per Warrant or Exercise Proceeds which the Holder is entitled to acquire on the exercise hereof, the Corporation will give notice to the Warrantholders of the particulars of the event and, to the extent determinable, any adjustment required.
If any adjustment for which a notice pursuant to this Section 4.12 is given is not then determinable, the Corporation will promptly after the adjustment is determinable give notice to the Warrantholders of the adjustment.
4.13 Amendments to Rights Offerings etc.
If the purchase price provided for in any rights, warrants or options issued or to be issued in connection with a Rights Offering or a Special Distribution is decreased, the Exercise Price Per Warrant will forthwith be decreased, and the Exercise Proceeds will forthwith be increased to the Exercise Price Per Warrant that would have been applicable and such Exercise Proceeds as the Warrantholder would have obtained if the adjustment in the Exercise Price Per Warrant and Exercise Proceeds made in connection with the issuance of such rights, warrants or options had been made on the basis of such purchase price as so decreased.
