is conducting or has ever conducted any such activities anywhere else except in
a manner that has been in compliance in all material respects with all
applicable Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits and to an extent that

2.11 Taxes. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has
-----
timely filed in proper form all income, franchise, sales, use, property, excise,
payroll, withholding and other Tax returns that it is required to file with any
Governmental Body (collectively, "Tax Returns"). All of such Tax Returns are
-----------
true and correct. All Taxes due or payable by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries on or before the date hereof pursuant to such Tax Returns or
otherwise have been paid. There is no unpaid interest, penalty or addition to
Tax due or claimed to be due by the Company or by any of its Subsidiaries, nor

extensions of time for the determination or assessment of Tax deficiencies in
effect for the Company or for any of its Subsidiaries. There is no Action
against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for the purpose of assessment or
collection of Taxes by any Governmental Body. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is a party to any written consent with any Governmental Body to
extend the period for assessment or collection of any Taxes, or to any written

Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any Tax-sharing or Tax-benefit

withholding Taxes that are required to be paid as of the date hereof.

any Plan of the Borrower or any Subsidiary.
2.13 Trade Rights. There are no pending or threatened claims
------------
against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries alleging infringement of, or
conflict with the rights of others under, any patent, patent application,
trademark, service xxxx, copyright, trade secret or similar intangible
franchise, license or right ("Trade Rights") and, to the best of the Company's,
------------
no reasonable basis exists for any such allegation. The Company and each of its
Subsidiaries owns exclusively or has a valid and subsisting exclusive license to
use all of the Trade Rights that it uses in connection with its business.
2.14 Commission Filings. The Company has timely filed all
------------------
filings required to be made by it with the Commission. At the time of filing,
all of the information set forth in each Company filing with the Commission was
true and correct in all material respects and did not omit to state a material
fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

----------------------
transaction or proposed transaction between the Company and any of its
employees, directors or officers, or any of their respective immediate family
members, or any affiliates of any of them (each a "Related Party"), not
conducted on an arm's-length basis on terms and conditions no more favorable or
unfavorable to the Company than would have been obtainable generally from
unrelated third parties. The Company is not indebted, directly or indirectly, to
any Related Party other than in connection with expenses or advances of expenses
incurred in the ordinary course of business or relocation expenses of employees.
To the best of the Company's knowledge, no Related Party is indebted to the
Company or has any direct or indirect ownership interest in any firm or
corporation with which the Company is affiliated or with which the Company has a

warrants as follows:
3.1 Investment Representation. (a) The Purchaser of the
-------------------------
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and of the Replacement Warrants hereby
acknowledges that the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Replacement
Warrants are not being registered (i) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act") or (ii) under any applicable state securities law; and that
the Company's reliance on the Section 4(2) exemption of the Act and under
applicable state securities laws is predicated in part on the representations
hereby made to the Company in the Agreement.
(b) The Purchaser will not sell or transfer all or any part
of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or Replacement Warrants unless and
until he shall first have given notice to the Company describing such sale or
transfer and, if reasonably requested by the Company, furnished to the Company
either (a) an opinion, reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company, of
counsel skilled in securities matters (selected by the Purchaser and reasonably
satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that the proposed sale or transfer
may be made without registration under the Act and without registration or
qualification under applicable state law, or (b) an interpretive letter from the
Securities and Exchange Commission to the effect that no enforcement action will
be recommended if the proposed sale or transfer is made without registration
under the Act. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock and the Replacement Warrants (and upon any conversion or
exercise thereof, the certificates representing the Common Stock) subscribed for
hereby will bear a legend restricting transfer thereof as follows:
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED, AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED PURSUANT TO A
CLAIM OF EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION OR
QUALIFICATION PROVISIONS OF FEDERAL AND STATE
SECURITIES LAWS BASED, IN PART, ON AN INVESTMENT
REPRESENTATION ON THE PART OF THE PURCHASER
THEREOF. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED,
HYPOTHECATED, DONATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED
WITHOUT COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION OR
QUALIFICATION PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE FEDERAL
AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR APPLICABLE EXEMPTIONS
THEREFROM."
(c) The Company may refuse to recognize a transfer of the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or the Replacement Warrants on its books
should a Purchaser attempt to transfer the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
or the Replacement Warrants otherwise than in compliance with this Section 3.1.
-----------
(d) The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for his
current needs and possible personal contingencies, he anticipates no need now or
in the foreseeable future to sell the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or
the Replacement Warrants (or upon any exercise
-9-
thereof, the Common Stock) which he is purchasing and he can afford the loss of
his entire investment in the Company.
(e) The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of investment in the Company and of making an informed investment
decision.
(f) The Purchaser confirms that all documents, records and
books pertaining to his proposed investment in the Company have been made
available to him. The Purchaser is aware that no federal or state agency has
passed upon the Securities or made any finding or determination concerning the
fairness of the investment represented thereby.
(g) The Purchaser had an opportunity to ask questions of and
receive answers from representatives of the Company concerning the terms and
conditions of this investment, and all such questions have been answered to the
full satisfaction of the Purchaser. The Purchaser understands that no person
other than the Company has been authorized to make any representation or
warranty other than as contained herein (including the Exhibits hereto) and, if
made, such representation may not be relied on unless it is made in writing and
signed by the Company. The Company has not rendered any investment or tax advice
to the Purchaser with respect to the suitability of an investment in the
Securities or the tax consequences thereof. The Company has urged each Purchaser
to consult his own tax adviser concerning any tax matters relating to this

to his rights under the Registration Rights Agreement, he is not purchasing such
Securities with a view toward distribution in a manner which would require
registration under the Securities Act, and he does not presently have any
reasons to anticipate any change in his circumstances or other particular
occasion or event which would cause him to sell, the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock and the Replacement Warrants (or upon any conversion or exercise
thereof, the Conversion Stock) which he is purchasing hereunder, subject,
nevertheless, to any requirement of law that the disposition of his property
shall at all times be within his control.

attention by those individuals with whom he has dealt in connection with his
investment in the Company that his investment in the Company involves a high
degree of risk.
(j) The Purchaser has received no representations or
warranties from the Company other than those contained herein (including the
Schedules and Exhibits hereto) or otherwise furnished in writing and signed by
the Company.
(k) The Purchaser, if a corporation, partnership, trust or
other form of business entity: is authorized and otherwise duly qualified to
purchase and hold the Securities and to enter into this Agreement and the
Exhibits hereto to which it is a signatory; represents that the
-10-
purchase of the Securities will not result in a breach of or violation of the
terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, the certificate of
incorporation, by-laws, or other charter document of such entity or any
indenture or other agreement or instrument by which the entity or its property
is bound, or violate any applicable law, administrative regulation, or court
decree; and represents that such entity has its principal place of business as
set forth on its signature page and that such entity has not been formed for the
specific purpose of acquiring the Securities. If the Purchaser is one of the
aforementioned entities, it shall supply any additional written information that
reasonably may be required by the Company.
(l) All of the information that the Purchaser has heretofore
furnished or which is set forth in this Agreement and the Schedules and Exhibits
hereto with respect to his financial position and business status is correct and
complete in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and, if there
should be any material and adverse change in such information prior to the

jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.
-17-
5.14 Counterparts.
------------
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,

SCHEDULE 2.1(a)
ORGANIZATION; GOOD STANDING
The Company was an exchange issuer under the Securities Act (British Columbia)
R.S.B.C. 1996, c.418, (the "Act") until April 21, 1999 when the common shares of
the Company were de-listed from the Vancouver Stock Exchange at the request of
the Company. Due to the fact the Company failed to file certain required
financial records, on November 3, 1999 the British Columbia Securities
Commission (the "BCSC") ordered under section 164(l) of the Act that all trading
in the securities of the Company cease until the requisite records were filed.
Specifically, the Company failed to file:
(a) a comparative financial statement for its financial year ended
February 28, 1999, as required under Section 145 of the Securities
Rules, B.C. Reg. 194/97 (the "Rules");
(b) interim financial statements for the three month period ended May 31,
1999 and for the six month period ended August 31, 1999, as required
under Section 144(l) of the Rules; and
(c) a quarterly report for the period ended February 28, 1999, as required
under Section 152 of the Rules (the "Required Records").
The Required Records were filed on January 28, 2000 and on February 4, 2000 the
BCSC notified the Company's Canadian counsel that the following additional
information was required in order for the Company to bring its filings up to
date:
(a) a reconciliation to Canadian GAAP and/or GAAS per Section 2(2), 2(3)
and 2(4) of the Rules;
(b) breakdowns of certain expenditures per Schedule "B" of Form 61 (see
also Section 3(9) of the Rules)
(i) General & Administration - $735,065.00
(ii) Cost of Sales - $1,149,343.00
(iii) Selling - $1,015,172.00; and
(c) confirmation that revised statements have been distributed to security
holders.
The BCSC also advised that the audit report was still under review by its Chief
Accountant.
On February 18, 2000 the interim financial statements for the third quarter
ending November 30, 1999 were filed with the BCSC.
In addition, comparative financial statements for the financial year ended
February 28, 2000 were due July 18, 2000 and interim financial statements for
the three month period ended May 31, 2000 were due July 30, 2000.
Finally, Flotek failed to file its annual report for 1999 with Alberta Corporate
Registry.

Schedule "A"
DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES
AND RIGHTS OF SERIES A CONVERTIBLE
PREFERRED STOCK
OF
FLOTEK INDUSTRIES, INC.
1. Dividends. The holders of the then outstanding Series A Convertible
---------
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of funds legally available
therefor, cumulative dividends at the annual rate of ten percent (10%) of the
Liquidation Preference except as otherwise stated herein. Such cumulative
dividends shall accrue from April 30, 2000, notwithstanding a later date of
original issuance. Dividends shall be payable on the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock then outstanding in cash (i) quarterly on the fifteenth day of
March, June, September, and December of each year (each, a "Dividend Payment
Date"), whether or not earned or declared by the Board of Directors, or (ii) at
the time of conversion, redemption, or exchange (as provided herein) of the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on which the dividend is to be paid,
whichever is sooner, in preference to and in priority over dividends upon the
common stock or any other class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation
(collectively, the "Junior Stock"). Except as otherwise specified herein,
accrued and unpaid dividends shall compound quarterly at a rate of ten percent
(10%) per annum from the preceding Dividend Payment Date until paid in full in
cash. No dividends shall be paid on any share of Common Stock unless a dividend
is paid with respect to all outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock in an amount for each such share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
equal to or greater than the aggregate amount of such dividends for all shares
of Common Stock into which each such share of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock could then be converted. Without limiting the generality of the
immediately-preceding sentence, during any period when the Corporation has
failed to pay the full amount of the dividends on the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock for any preceding quarterly period and until all such accrued
and unpaid dividends are paid in full, the Corporation shall not: (i) declare or
pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of Junior Stock,
other than dividends or distributions payable in Junior Stock, or (ii) redeem,
purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Junior Stock,
other than redemptions, purchases or other acquisitions of Junior Stock in
exchange for any shares of Junior Stock. As used herein, "accrued dividends" and
"accrued and unpaid dividends" shall mean accrued dividends, including, without
limitation, the amount compounded thereon. Accumulated but unpaid dividends may
be declared by the Board of Directors and paid on any date fixed by the Board of
Directors to holders of record on the books of the Corporation on such record
date as may be fixed by the Board of Directors. Dividends on Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock shall be paid in the chronological order in which
they accrue.
1
2. Conversion. The holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
----------
shall have the following conversion rights:
(a) Shareholders' Right of Conversion. Subject to and upon compliance with
---------------------------------
the provisions of this paragraph 2, any holder of shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock shall have the right, at his option, at any time after the issue
date thereof (except that if any such share has been properly called for
redemption pursuant to Section 7 hereof, then, as to such share, such right
shall terminate at the close of business on the date immediately prior to the
date fixed for its redemption, unless the Corporation defaults in its obligation
to provide sufficient funds for the redemption of such share), to convert each
such share into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined
herein), at the conversion ratio (the "Conversion Ratio") determined by dividing
US$0.03 (the "Conversion Price") by the Liquidation Preference for such share,
and by surrender of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock so to be
converted, such surrender to be made in the manner provided in subsection (c) of
this paragraph 2.
The term "Common Stock" shall mean the Common Stock, no par value, of the
Corporation as the same exists at the date of this resolution or as such stock
may be constituted from time to time, except that for the purposes of subsection
(d) of this paragraph 2 the term "Common Stock" shall also mean and include
stock of the Corporation of any class (other than Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock), whether now or hereafter authorized, which shall have the right to
participate in the distribution of either earnings or assets of the Corporation
without limit as to amount or percentage.
(b) Exercise of Conversion Right. In order to exercise the conversion
----------------------------
privilege, the holder of each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to
be converted shall deliver written notice of election to convert (a "Notice of
Election to Convert") which specifies the names and addresses of the persons to
whom the Common Stock is to be issued, and the number (in whole shares) of
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted and the
certificate number(s) therefor and which is duly executed by or on behalf of
such holder, and shall surrender the certificate representing such share at the
office of the conversion agent for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
appointed for such purpose by the Corporation. Unless the certificate for shares
issuable on conversion is to be issued in the same name as the name in which the
certificate for shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is registered,
each share surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of
transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by
the holder or his duly authorized attorney and an amount sufficient to pay any
transfer or similar tax. As promptly as practicable after the surrender of the
certificates for shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as aforesaid,
the Corporation shall issue and shall deliver at such office to such holder, or
on his written order to such other person as such holder may designate
(including without limitation to a broker or other person acting as agent for
such holder or his transferee), a certificate or certificates for the number of
full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such shares in
accordance with the provisions of this paragraph 2. Any fractional interest in
respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such conversion shall be settled
as provided in subsection (c) of this
2
paragraph 2. In the event that a holder desires to effect a sale pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act of the shares of Common Stock underlying
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that he holds, the Corporation
agrees to use its best efforts to facilitate conversion of such holder's shares
of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into the shares of Common Stock to be so
sold at the earliest possible time.
Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to
the close of business on the date on which the certificates for shares of Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have been surrendered and such notice
received by the Corporation as aforesaid, and the person or persons in whose
name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall
be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or
holders of record of the shares represented thereby at such time on such date,
unless the stock transfer books of the Corporation shall be closed on that date,
in which event such person or persons shall be deemed to have become such holder
or holders of record at the close of business on the next succeeding day on
which such stock transfer books are open. All shares of Common Stock delivered
upon conversions of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will upon delivery
be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable, free of all liens
and charges (other than restrictions on transfer arising under federal and state
securities laws), not subject to any preemptive rights.
(c) Cash Payment for Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip
----------------------------------
representing fractions of shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion
of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Instead of any fractional interest
in a share of Common Stock which would otherwise be deliverable upon the
conversion of a share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation
shall pay to the holder of such share an amount in cash (computed to the nearest
cent) equal to the current market price (as determined in a reasonable manner
prescribed by the Board of Directors in its discretion) thereof at the close of
business on the business day next preceding the day of conversion. If more than
one share shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder,
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be
computed on the basis of the aggregate Conversion Price (as defined herein) of
the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock so surrendered.
(d) Adjustments to Conversion Ratio. The Conversion Ratio shall be
-------------------------------
adjusted from time to time as follows:
(i) In case the Corporation shall hereafter (A) pay a dividend or
make a distribution on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (B)
subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number
of shares, (C) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, or (D) issue by reclassification of the
Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, the
Conversion Ratio in effect immediately prior to such action shall be
adjusted so that the holder of any share of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled
to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock
of the Corporation
3
which he would have owned or been entitled to receive immediately
following such action had such share been converted immediately prior
thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subdivision (i) shall
become effective immediately after the record date, in the case of a
dividend or distribution, or immediately after the effective date, in
the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If, as a
result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subdivision (i), the
holder of any share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock thereafter
surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of
two or more classes of capital stock or shares of Common Stock and
other capital stock of the Corporation, the Board of Directors (whose
determination shall be conclusive) reasonably shall determine the
allocation of the adjusted Conversion Ratio between or among shares of
such classes of capital stock or shares of Common Stock and other
capital stock.
(ii) If at any time after the date of issuance of the shares of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall issue, or
sell or fix a record date for the issuance of, any (A) Common Stock or
(B) rights, options or warrants entitling the holders thereof to
subscribe for or purchase Common Stock (or securities convertible or
exchangeable into or exercisable for Common Stock), in any such case,
at a price per share (or having a conversion, exchange or exercise
price per share) that is less than the Conversion Price then,
immediately after the date of such issuance or sale or on such record
date, the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon the
conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be
increased so that the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock thereafter will be entitled to receive the number of shares of
Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common
Stock such holder would have been entitled to receive immediately
before the date of such issuance or sale on such record date by a
fraction, the denominator of which will be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding on such date plus the number of shares of
Common Stock that the aggregate offering price of the total number of
shares so sold (or the aggregate initial conversion price, exchange
price or exercise price of the convertible securities or exchangeable
securities or rights, options or warrants, as the case may be, so
sold) would purchase at such Conversion Price, and the numerator of
which will be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such
date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock so sold (or
into which the convertible or exchangeable securities or rights,
options or warrants so sold are initially convertible or exchangeable
or exercisable, as the case may be). Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the provisions of this paragraph
2(e)(ii) shall not apply to any issuance of shares of Common Stock to
employees, officers or directors of the Corporation pursuant to the
exercise of options granted under a stock option plan approved by the
Board (a "Stock Option Plan"); provided, however, that in no event
-------- -------
shall the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of options granted pursuant to all Stock Option Plans exceed
five percent (5%) of all shares of outstanding Common Stock calculated
on a fully-diluted basis.
4
(iii) In case the Corporation shall distribute pro rata to holders of
shares of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets
(excluding any cash dividends payable on Common Stock or equity
securities of the Corporation) or rights or warrants to subscribe for
securities of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (other than
shares of Common Stock referred to in subdivision (ii) above), then in
each case the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share
of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible
thereafter shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of
Common Stock into which each such share was convertible theretofore by
a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the Average Market Price
(as defined below) for a share of Common Stock on the record date
mentioned below, and of which the denominator shall be such Average
Market Price, less the fair market value (as reasonably determined by
the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive) as of
such record date of the portion of such evidences of indebtedness or
assets or rights or warrants to subscribe which are applicable to one
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be
made whenever such a distribution is made and shall become effective
retroactively immediately after the record date for the determination
of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.
(iv) In any case in which this paragraph 2 shall require that an
adjustment be made immediately following a record date or an effective
date, the Corporation may elect to defer (but only until five business
days following the filing by the Corporation with the conversion agent
of the certificate of the chief financial officer of the Corporation
required by subdivision (vi) of this subsection (d)) issuing to the
holder of any share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock converted
after such record date or effective date the additional shares of
Common Stock or other capital stock issuable upon such conversion over
and above the shares of Common Stock or other capital stock issuable
upon such conversion on the basis of the Conversion Ratio prior to
adjustment, and paying to such holder any amount of cash in lieu of a
fractional share.
(v) No adjustment in the Conversion Ratio shall be required to be
made unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of
at least one percent (1%) of such Conversion Ratio; provided, however,
-------- -------
that any adjustments which by reason of this subdivision (v) are not
required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in
any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this paragraph 2
shall be to the nearest 1/100th of a share. Anything in this paragraph
2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall be entitled
to make such adjustment in the Conversion Ratio, in addition to those
required by this paragraph 2, as it in its discretion shall determine
to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of
shares, distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities, or
distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock
hereafter made by the Corporation to its stockholders shall not be
taxable to the recipients.
5
(vi) Whenever the Conversion Ratio is adjusted as herein provided,
the Corporation shall promptly file with the conversion agent, and
mail to the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at
their addresses as shown on the stock books of the Corporation, a
certificate of the chief financial officer of the Corporation setting
forth the Conversion Ratio before and after such adjustment and
setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment
and the manner of computing the same.
(vii) In the event that at any time as a result of an adjustment made
pursuant to subdivision (i) of this subsection (e), the holder of any
share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered
for conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares of the
Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the
Conversion Ratio of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of
any share shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner
and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions
with respect to Common Stock contained in this paragraph 2.
(viii) The "Average Market Price" of Common Stock at any date shall be
deemed to be the average of the Current Market Prices (as defined
below) for the 30 consecutive business days commencing 45 business
days before the date in question. The "Current Market Price" on any
given day shall mean the closing price per share of the Common Stock
on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common
Stock is listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or traded on
any such exchange, on the National Market System of the National
Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System
("NASDAQ"), or if not listed or traded on any such exchange or system,
the average of the bid and asked price per share on NASDAQ or, if such
quotations are not available, the fair market value per share of the
Common Stock as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors.
(e) Notices of Record Date. In case:
----------------------
(i) there shall be any capital stock reorganization or
reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or
combination of the outstanding Common Stock and other than a change in
the par value of the Common Stock), or any consolidation or merger to
which the Corporation is a party or any statutory exchange of
securities with another corporation and for which approval of any
stockholders of the Corporation is required, or any sale or transfer
of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation; or
(ii) there shall be a voluntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Corporation;
then the Corporation shall cause to be mailed to the holders of shares of
the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at their addresses as shown on the
stock books of the
6
Corporation, at least 10 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter
specified, a notice stating (A) the date on which a record is to be taken
for the purpose of such distribution or rights, or, if a record is not to
be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be
entitled to such distribution or rights are to be determined, or (B) the
date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
statutory exchange, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up
is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected
that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their
shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon
such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory
exchange, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Failure
to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or
validity of the proceedings described in subdivision (i) or (ii) of this
subsection (e).
(f) Reservation of Common Stock for Conversion. The Corporation
------------------------------------------
covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, free from
preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock or shares of Common Stock held in its treasury, or
both, for the purpose of effecting conversions of the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon
the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock not theretofore converted. For purposes of this subsection (f), the
number of shares of Common Stock which shall be deliverable upon the
conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such
outstanding shares were held by a single holder.
(g) Taxes Upon Conversion. The Corporation will pay any and all
---------------------
documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of
the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversions of the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant hereto; provided, however,
-------- -------
that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be
payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of
shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the holder of the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted and no such issue or
delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue or
delivery has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has
established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation, that such
tax has been paid.
(h) Modification of Common Stock. Notwithstanding any provision
----------------------------
herein to the contrary, in case of any consolidation or merger to which the
Corporation is a party (other than a merger or consolidation in which the
Corporation is the continuing corporation), or in case of any sale or
conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Corporation as an
entirety or substantially as an entirety, or in the case of any statutory
exchange of securities with another corporation (including any exchange
effected in connection with a merger of a third corporation into the
Corporation), the holder of each share of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock then outstanding shall have the right thereafter to convert such
share into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property
receivable upon such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or
conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which
such share
7
of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock might have been converted
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale
or conveyance, assuming such holder of Common Stock failed to exercise his
rights of election, if any, as to the kind of amount of securities, cash or
other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, statutory
exchange, sale or conveyance (provided that if the kind or amount of
securities, cash or other property receivable upon such consolidation,
merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance is not the same for each
share of Common Stock in respect of which such rights of election shall not
have been exercised (each, a "non-electing share"), then for the purpose of
this subsection (h) the kind and amount of securities, cash or other
property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange,
sale or conveyance for each non-electing share shall be deemed to be the
kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing
shares). Thereafter, the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to appropriate adjustments with respect to their
conversion rights to the end that the provisions set forth in this
paragraph 2 shall correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may
reasonably be, in relation to any shares of stock or other securities or
property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock. Any such adjustment shall be approved by the
Board of Directors, evidenced by a certificate of the chief financial
officer of the Corporation to that effect delivered to the conversion agent
and to each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
The above provisions of this subsection (h) shall similarly apply to
successive consolidations, mergers, statutory exchanges, sales or
conveyances.
(i) Certificate for Unconverted Shares. In the event some but not all
----------------------------------
of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a
certificate or certificates surrendered by a holder are converted, the
Corporation shall execute and deliver to or on the order of the holder, at
the expense of the Corporation, a new certificate representing the number
of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which were not converted.
3. Reissuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Shares of
--------------------------------------------------
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired
in any manner, including shares purchased or redeemed or exchanged, shall
(upon compliance with any applicable provisions of the laws of Alberta)
have the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock of the
Corporation undesignated as to series and may be designated or redesignated
and issued or reissued, as the case may be, as part of any series of
Preferred Stock of the Corporation (other than Series A ).
8
4. Liquidation Preference.
----------------------
(a) Priority. In the event of a Liquidation Event (as defined below),
--------
the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
receive out of the assets of the Corporation an amount in cash equal to
US$1,000 per share plus an amount equal to the dividends accrued but unpaid
and accumulated thereon (whether or not declared), to the date of such
distribution (the "Liquidation Preference"), before any payment shall be
made or any assets distributed to the holders of shares of Common Stock. If
upon such liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, whether voluntary or
involuntary, the assets distributed among the holders of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall be insufficient to
permit the payment to such shareholders of the full preferential amounts,
then the entire assets of the Corporation to be distributed shall be
distributed ratably among the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock of the Corporation. After payment of the aggregate Liquidation
Preference as described above shall have been made in full to the holders
of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or funds necessary for such
payment shall have been set aside by the Corporation in trust for the
account of holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock so as to be
available for such payment, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall
participate ratably (on a fully-converted basis [but, with respect to
options and rights, only to the extent that such options and rights are
vested]) with the Common Stock in the distribution of the Corporation's
assets until each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have
received (i) the Liquidation Preference multiplied by (ii) three, after
which time the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall no longer be
entitled to participate in the distribution of the Corporation's assets.
(b) Liquidation Event. For the purposes hereof, each of the following
-----------------
events shall, at the election of the holders of at least a majority of the
then-outstanding shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, be
deemed to be a "Liquidation Event":
(i) the sale, lease, conveyance, exchange, transfer or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets
(including without limitation intellectual property rights); provided,
however, that encumbrance of the Corporation's assets to secure its
borrowings authorized by the Board of Directors shall not be deemed to
be a Liquidation Event;
(ii) the acquisition, merger or consolidation of the Corporation
with any other entity (other than an entity controlling, controlled by
or under common control with, the Corporation) in any transaction or
series of transactions in which the Corporation is not the surviving
corporation, unless in each case, the Corporation's stockholders of
record as constituted immediately prior to such acquisition or sale
will, immediately after such acquisition or sale (by virtue of
securities issued as consideration for the Corporation's acquisition or
sale or otherwise) hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting
power of the surviving or acquiring entity; and
9
(iii) the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the
affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary.
5. Voting Rights. Except to the extent provided in Section 6
-------------
below, the holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock voting as a
single class on all matters to be voted upon by stockholders of the
Corporation and to cast a number of votes as shall be equal to the
number of full shares of Common Stock into which the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock is then convertible.
6. Consent Required. As long as at least 500 shares of Series A
----------------
Convertible Preferred Stock remain outstanding (as adjusted for each
stock dividend, combination, split, or recapitalization with respect
to such shares), the Corporation may not effect any of the following
without the consent and approval of the holders of at least two-thirds
(2/3) of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock, voting together as a separate class:
(a) any Liquidation Event or any other transaction or
series of related transactions in which more than fifty percent
(50%) of the Corporation's voting power is disposed of;
(b) any change in the rights, preferences or privileges of
the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock;
(c) any increase in the authorized number of shares of the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock;
(d) any amendment to the Company's Certificate or Articles
of Incorporation;
(e) the redemption, repurchase or declaration of a dividend
with regard to any security of the Corporation, other than
dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; provided,
--------
however, that this provision shall not apply to the Corporation's
-------
repurchase of Common Stock issued pursuant to the terms of a
Stock Option Plan;
(f) any increase or decrease in the number of the
Corporation's directors;
(g) the creation of any new class or series of shares of
capital stock having preference over or ranking on a parity with
the Series A Preferred Stock;
(h) any material change in the Corporation's corporate
structure;
(i) any material change in the Corporation's primary
line(s) of business;
10
(j) any registration under applicable securities laws of
any shares of the Corporation's capital stock for public sale,
other than pursuant to that certain Registration Rights Agreement
dated as of April 30, 2000;
(k) the retention or termination or material modification
of the duties of the Corporation's executive management team
(except as may be agreed in voting trust agreements or the like);
(l) a transaction with any officer, director, or beneficial
owner of five percent (5%) or more of the outstanding Common
Stock (determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules
promulgated thereunder) or any Affiliate of any of such persons
(other than (A) payment of reasonable salaries, (B)
reimbursements of reasonable expenses, (C) transactions pursuant
to a Stock Option Plan, and (D) transactions that are on terms no
less favorable to the Corporation than those that could generally
be obtained in an arm's-length transaction); and
(m) any increase or decrease in the amount of authorized
Common Stock or any increase, decrease or change in the par value
thereof or in any other terms thereof.
7. Redemption.
----------
(a) Requirements. At any time and from time to time, the
------------
Corporation shall have the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of
the then-outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at a redemption
price, in cash, equal to three hundred percent (300%) of the Liquidation
Preference (the "Redemption Price").
(b) Procedure for Redemption.
------------------------
(i) Whenever the Corporation wishes to redeem the shares of
the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as provided herein,
written notice ("Redemption Notice") shall be given by the
Corporation by facsimile and by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, to each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock ledger
of the Corporation; provided, however, that no failure to give
such notice nor any deficiency therein shall affect the validity
of the procedure for the redemption of any shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed except as to the
holders thereof to whom the Corporation has failed to give such
notice or except as to the holders thereof whose notice was
defective. The Redemption Notice shall state:
(A) the Redemption Price;
11
(B) the date fixed for redemption (the "Redemption
Date"), which shall be no less than twenty (20) and no more than sixty
(60) days after the date of the Redemption Notice;
(C) a statement to the effect that the Corporation
wishes to redeem his shares; and
(D) the name of any bank or trust company performing
the duties referred to in subdivision (v) of this subsection (b).
(ii) On or before the Redemption Date, each holder of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender the certificate
or certificates representing such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated in the
Redemption Notice, and on the Redemption Date, the full Redemption Price
for such shares shall be payable in cash to the holder of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock whose name appears on such certificate or
certificates as the owner thereof, and each surrendered certificate shall
be returned to authorized but unissued shares.
(iii) Unless the Corporation defaults in the payment in full of the
applicable Redemption Price, dividends on the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock called for redemption shall cease to accumulate on the day
prior to the Redemption Date, and the holders of such shares shall cease to
have any further rights with respect thereto on the Redemption Date, other
than the right to receive the Redemption Price.
(iv) If a Redemption Notice shall have been duly given or if the
Corporation shall have given to the bank or trust company hereinafter
referred to irrevocable authorization promptly to give such notice, and if,
on or before the Redemption Date specified therein, all funds necessary for
such redemption shall have been given to such bank or trust company in
trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock called for redemption so as to be and continue to be
available therefor, then, notwithstanding that any certificate for shares
so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered for cancellation,
all shares so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed outstanding,
and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith on such
Redemption Date cease and terminate, excepting only the right of the
holders thereof to receive the amount payable on redemption thereof,
without interest. The aforesaid bank or trust company shall be organized
and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America or of a
State of the United States, shall be doing business in the United States,
shall have capital, surplus and undivided profits aggregating at least
US$100,000,000 according to its last published statement of condition, and
shall be identified in the Redemption Notice. Any interest accrued on such
funds shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time. Any funds so set
aside or deposited, as the case may be, and unclaimed at the end of three
years from such Redemption Date shall, to the
12
extent permitted by law, be released or repaid to the Corporation,
after which repayment the holders of the shares to be redeemed shall
look only to the Corporation for payment thereof.
