ARTICLE 4

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

 

4.1                               Pre-Emptive Right. In the event that the Corporation proposes to issue any class or series of the equity securities of the Corporation, any voting securities of the Corporation, or any securities convertible or exchangeable into, or entitling purchase of, any of the foregoing (the “Covered Securities” and, as such securities may be offered and/or issued from time to time by the Corporation, collectively “Offered Securities”), the Corporation shall provide written notice (a “Pre-Emption Notice”) to each Investor that has, together with its Affiliates, purchased at least $4,000,000 of the Units sold under the Offering (each a “2012 Pre-Emptive Rights Investor”), specifying the terms and conditions of the proposed issue (the “Covered Offering”), including the amount of money to be raised, the type of security to be issued, the price per security to be issued and the target completion date. In that event, each 2012 Pre-Emptive Right Investor shall then have the right, by written notice to the Corporation (the “Notice of Exercise of Pre-Emptive Rights”) within four (4) Business Days from the date of receipt of the Pre-Emption Notice, in the case of a Covered Offering that is a Private Placement, or within two (2) Business Days from the date of the receipt of the Pre-Emption Notice in the case of a Covered Offering that is a Public Offering, to subscribe, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Pre-Emption Notice, for up to the number of Offered Securities which is equal to the number of the Offered Securities offered in the Covered Offering in proportion to the aggregate holding of Covered Securities by the 2012 Pre- Emptive Right Investor in relation to the total number of Covered Securities issued and outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of Offered Securities (the “Pre-Emptive Rights”) for a period until [ ], 2016. The Pre-Emptive Rights shall not apply to issuances of Offered Securities pursuant to (i) the Corporation’s stock option plan; (ii) collaboration agreements entered into by the Corporation; (iii) a Public Offering at a price per security at least 100% greater than the Subscription Price, in connection with which the securities being sold are listed on a Permitted Exchange, for total proceeds of at least C$50,000,000 and conducted by a recognized, full service investment banking firm; or (iv) the exercise of the Warrants.

 

4.2                               Pre-Emptive Right Replacement. The Corporation and each 2012 Pre-Emptive Rights Investor that was previously entitled 2011 Pre-Emptive Rights under the 2011 Agreements (each a “Upgraded Pre-Emptive Rights Investor”) agree that the Pre-Emptive Rights shall replace and supersede the 2011 Pre-Emptive Rights for each Upgraded Pre-Emptive Rights Investor. For greater certainty any Covered Securities owned by an Upgraded Pre-Emptive Right Investor, including any Covered Securities acquired after the date hereof and the securities purchased under the 2011

 

Agreements, if still held by such Upgraded Pre-Emptive Right Investor, will form part of such Upgraded Pre-Emptive Right Investor’s Covered Securities for the purposes of calculating the number of Offered Securities such Upgraded Pre-Emptive Right Investor may purchase pursuant to its Pre-Emptive Rights hereunder.

 

4.3                               Additional Rights. The Co-Lead Investors shall also have a right (the “Additional Rights”), but not the obligation, to acquire any Offered Securities that are subject to the Pre-Emptive Rights or the 2011 Pre-Emptive Rights but which are not otherwise purchased by a 2012 Pre-Emptive Right Investor or any 2011 Pre-Emptive Rights Investor, respectively. Each of the Co-Lead Investors may exercise its Additional Rights by stating in its Notice of Exercise of Pre-Emptive Rights (i) that it shall acquire up to its pro rata share of the Offered Securities which are not otherwise purchased by the other 2012 Pre-Emptive Right Investors and the 2011 Pre-Emptive Right Investors; and (ii) the exact number of Offered Securities to be acquired. Should the Notice of Exercise of Pre-Emptive Rights of any

 

22



 

Co-Lead Investor not include the information specified in the preceding sentence, any such Co-Lead Investor shall be deemed to waive its Additional Rights. In the event that one of the Co-Lead Investors does not exercise its Additional Rights, the Co-Lead Investor which has exercised its Additional Rights shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire the remaining Offered Securities that are subject to the Pre-Emptive Rights and 2011 Pre-Emptive Rights but that are not otherwise purchased by the other 2012 Pre-Emptive Right Investors and the 2011 Pre-Emptive Right Investors, respectively. The Corporation and each Co-Lead Investor agree that the Additional Rights in this section 4.3 shall replace and supersede the rights set forth in section 4.2 of the 2011 Agreements to which the Co-Lead Investors and Corporation are party.

 

4.4                               Rights to Appoint an Observer and a Director. Each of the Co-Lead Investors shall, until such time as such Co-Lead Investor beneficially owns less than 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, calculated on a partially diluted basis (i.e., assuming only the exercise of any convertible securities or rights to acquire Common Shares of the Co-Lead Investor), have the right, but not the obligation to appoint one (1) observer to the Board, whether or not the Co-Lead Investor’s observer nominee is independent of the Co-Lead Investor, and each observer shall have the right to receive notice of and attend the meetings of the Board, and shall each have the right to address the Board at any of its meetings, but who shall not have any right to vote thereat. In addition to appointing an observer, each of the Co-Lead Investors shall, until such time as such Co-Lead Investor beneficially owns less than 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, calculated on a partially diluted basis (i.e., assuming only the exercise of any convertible securities or rights to acquire Common Shares of the Co- Lead Investor), have the right, but not the obligation, to nominate one (1) person to the Board whether or not the Co-Lead Investor’s Board nominee is independent of the Co-Lead Investor. The Corporation shall include each Co-Lead Investor’s director nominee in its proposed slate of directors at each annual or special (if applicable) meeting and shall recommend that shareholders vote in favour of such nominee. In the event that a Co-Lead Investors’ nominated Board member resigns his/her Board seat or is removed or otherwise fails to become or ceases to be a director for any reason, the vacancy will be filled by the election or appointment of another director nominated by the Co-Lead Investor as soon as possible and the right of that Co-Lead Investor to appoint or nominate, as the case may be, an observer or a director to the Board shall continue until the such time as such Co-Lead Investor beneficially owns less than 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, calculated on a partially diluted basis (i.e., assuming only the exercise of any convertible securities or rights to acquire Common Shares of the Co-Lead Investor). Furthermore, the Co-Lead Investors and the Corporation hereby agree that section 4.3 of the 2011 Agreements to which each of the Co-Lead Investors is a party is superseded and replaced by this section 4.4.

 

4.5                               Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Corporation shall, within 10 days following the Closing Date, issue a Material Change Report disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby. Neither the Corporation nor the Purchaser shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement in respect of this Offering without prior consultation of the Lead Investor, in the case of the Corporation and the Investors, and without the prior consent of the Corporation, in the case of the Purchaser, regarding such public statement or communication, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall not publicly disclose the name of the Purchaser without the prior consent of the Purchaser, except: (i) for any public statement or communication incorporating by reference or otherwise the information contained in the Material Change Report described in this Section 4.5; (ii) as required by the U.S. Securities Act; and (iii) to the extent such disclosure is required by Securities Law or the rules and policies of the TSX or otherwise as described in Sections 3.2(t), 3.2(u) and 3.2(v) above, in which case the Corporation shall provide the Purchaser with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under sub- clause (ii) or (iii) to the extent that such prior notice is permitted by law.

 

23



 

4.6                               Use of Proceeds. The Corporation shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for the purposes of working capital, research, product development and general corporate purposes as set forth in Schedule 4.6 hereto.

 

4.7                               Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the parties contained herein shall survive the date hereof for a period of twelve months from the date hereof except that (i) in the event of fraud, they shall survive indefinitely and (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1(bb) will survive the date hereof for a period of six (6) years from the date hereof and shall in no way be affected by any investigation made by one of the parties.

 

4.8                               Indemnification of Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.8, the Corporation will indemnify and hold the Purchaser, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees and agents (if applicable) (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to: (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Corporation in the Transaction Documents; or (b) any action instituted against a Purchaser Party by any shareholder of the Corporation who is not an Affiliate of the Purchaser, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of the Purchaser’s representation, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any conduct by the Purchaser Party which constitutes fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Corporation in writing, and the Corporation shall have the right to assume the defence thereof with counsel of its own choosing. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defence thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that: (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Corporation in writing; (ii) the Corporation has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defence and to employ counsel; or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Corporation and the position of such Purchaser Party. The Corporation will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement: (i) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Corporation’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (ii) to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment from which no appeal can be made shall determine that such Purchaser Party breached, defaulted under or failed to comply with any material representation, warranty, term, condition or covenant of this Agreement.

 

4.9                               Indemnification of Corporation. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.9, the Purchaser will indemnify and hold the Corporation, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees and agents (each, a “Corporation Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Corporation Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Purchaser in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of the Corporation’s representation, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any conduct by the Corporation Party which constitutes fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct). If any action shall be brought against any Corporation Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Corporation Party shall promptly notify the Purchaser in writing, and the Purchaser shall have the right to assume the defence thereof with counsel of its own choosing. Any Corporation Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defence thereof,

 

24



 

but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Corporation Party except to the extent that: (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Purchaser in writing; (ii) the Purchaser has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defence and to employ counsel; or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Purchaser and the position of such Corporation Party. The Purchaser will not be liable to any Corporation Party under this Agreement: (i) for any settlement by a Corporation Party effected without the Purchaser’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (ii) to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment from which no appeal can be made shall determine that such Corporation Party breached, defaulted under or failed to comply with any material representation, warranty, term, condition or covenant of this Agreement.

 

4.10                        Acknowledgment Regarding Purchaser’s Purchase of Securities. The Corporation acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Corporation further acknowledges that no Investor is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Corporation (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and any advice given by any Investor or any of its representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is merely incidental to such Investors’ purchase of the Securities. The Corporation further represents to the Purchaser that the Corporation’s decision to enter into this Agreement has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Corporation and its representatives.

 

4.11                        Indemnity of the Intermediaries. Each party hereto agrees for the express benefit of each of the Intermediaries, their respective Affiliates and their respective representatives that:

 

(a)                          None of the Intermediaries or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives have any duties or obligations to any party to this Agreement other than those specifically set forth herein, in the engagement letter, dated as of October 15, 2012 (as amended through the date hereof), between the Corporation and Jefferies (the “Engagement Letter”) or in the co-placement agent engagement letter dated as of October 16, 2012 (as amended through the date hereof), between the Corporation and MTS (the “Co-Placement Letter” and, together with the Engagement Letter, the “Engagement Letters”), for (x) any action taken, suffered or omitted by any of them in good faith and reasonably believed to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement or any Transaction Document or (y) anything which any of them may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction Document, except for such party’s own willful misconduct or bad faith.

 

(b)                          Each of the Intermediaries and any of their respective Affiliates or representatives shall be entitled to (1) rely on, and shall be protected in acting upon, any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter or any other document or security delivered to any of them by or on behalf of the Corporation and (2) be indemnified by the Corporation for acting as Intermediaries hereunder pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in the Engagement Letters, which hereby are incorporated by reference herein.

 

ARTICLE 5

The Corporation shall pay all expenses and transfer agent fees and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities.

 

5.2                               Entire Agreement.

5.4                               Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Corporation and the Purchaser or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

 

5.5                               Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

 

5.6                               Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The parties may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party, except that each party shall be entitled to assign this Agreement without having to obtain the other party’s consent to a transferee who is acquiring all or substantially all the assets of such party and provided that the Corporation may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser prior to the Closing.

 

5.7                               No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.8, except that the Intermediaries may rely on the representations, warranties and covenants contained in Article 3 hereof, and except that Sections 2.3(a)(vi), 2.5, 3.2(z) and 4.11 herein shall inure to the benefit of the Intermediaries, which shall be third party beneficiaries with respect thereto.

 

5.8                               Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Province of Québec, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

 

5.9                               Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.

 

5.10                        Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

 

27



 

5.11                        Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

 

5.12                        Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Corporation will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defence that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

5.13                        Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are joint between such Purchasers and not solidary (being the equivalent, in the Province of Québec, to obligations that are several and not joint in jurisdictions other than Québec) with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.

 

5.14                        Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in this Agreement.

 

5.15                        Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto or thereto, as the case may be.

 

5.16                        Language. The parties hereby request that this Agreement and any related documents be drafted only in the English language. Les parties requièrent par les présentes que la présente convention ainsi que tous les documents y afférents soient rédigés en langue anglaise seulement.

WARRANT

CERTIFICATE NO. 2012-[     ]

 

[     ] WARRANTS entitling the holder to acquire, subject to adjustment, one common share for each whole Warrant represented hereby.

 

This certifies that, for value received, [  ] (the “Holder”) has acquired and is the registered holder of [  ] warrants (the “Warrants”) of MethylGene Inc. (the “Corporation”), giving the Holder the right to purchase, upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter referred to, [  ] common shares of the Corporation (the “Common Shares”) at a price equal to $0.174 per share (the “Exercise Price Per Warrant”) on or before 5:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on [   ] (the “Exercise Period”).

 

1.                                                                                      The aforesaid right to purchase Common Shares may only be exercised by the Holder within the time required hereinbefore set out, in whole or in part, by (a) surrendering to the Corporation at the address for notice to the Corporation set out in Section 11, or at any other

Upon compliance by the Holder with the exercise procedures in respect of a Warrant Certificate set forth above in items (a), (b) and (c) (the “Exercise Date”), 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 five days of the Exercise Date, the Corporation shall direct Computershare Investor Services Inc.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise the Warrants in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Corporation upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price Per Warrant (and in exchange for the surrender of the right to receive upon such exercise the Common Shares in excess of the “Net Number” of Common Shares, as described below), elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of Common Shares determined according to the following formula:

 

Net Number =

 

(A x B) - (A x C)

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

 

A= the total number of Common Shares with respect to which this Warrant Certificate is then being exercised.

 

B= the volume-weighted average of the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX during the five trading days immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.

 

C= the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Common Shares at the time of such exercise.

 

If the Holder of this Warrant Certificate subscribes for a lesser number of Common Shares than the number of Common Shares referred to in this Warrant Certificate, the said Holder will be entitled to receive a further Warrant Certificate in respect of Common Shares referred to in this Warrant Certificate not subscribed for.

 

To the extent these Warrants have not previously been exercised as to all of the Common Shares subject hereto, and if the volume-weighted average of the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX during the five trading days immediately preceding the last day of the Exercise Period is greater than the Exercise Price Per Warrant, these Warrants shall be deemed automatically exercised pursuant to this Section 1 (even if not surrendered) immediately

 

2



 

prior the expiry of the Exercise Period. To the extent these Warrants or any portion thereof are deemed automatically exercised pursuant to this paragraph, the Corporation agrees to promptly notify the Holder of the number of Common Shares, if any, that the Holder is to receive by reason of such automatic exercise.

 

[INSERT BLOCKER RIDER, IF APPLICABLE]

 

2.                                                                                      (a) Any certificate representing the Holder’s Common Shares issued upon the exercise of these Warrants prior to [  ], 2013 will bear the following legend:

 

“UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE [  ], 2013.”

 

(b) Any certificate representing Common Shares issued to an Original U.S. Purchaser (as defined in Exhibit “B” hereto) or any other Holder in the United States, or, if the Corporation is not a “foreign issuer” within the meaning of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “U.S. Securities Act”), at the time these Warrants are exercised, any certificate representing Common Shares issued to any other Holder, will bear the following additional legend:

 

“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “U.S. SECURITIES ACT”) OR UNDER ANY U.S. STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING SUCH SECURITIES, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF METHYLGENE INC. (THE “CORPORATION”) THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING THE SALE OF SUCH SECURITIES ONLY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY: (A) TO THE CORPORATION; (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT; OR (C) PURSUANT TO (I) RULE 144 UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT, IF AVAILABLE OR (II) ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT, PROVIDED THAT A LEGAL OPINION SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION MUST FIRST BE PROVIDED AND IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR SECURITIES LAW OF ANY APPLICABLE JURISDICTION. DELIVERY OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT CONSTITUTE “GOOD DELIVERY” IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON STOCK EXCHANGES IN CANADA.”

 

(c) If at the time these Warrants are exercised the Corporation is not a “foreign issuer”, within the meaning of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act, any certificate representing the Common Shares issued upon exercise of these Warrants, other than Common Shares issued to an Original U.S. Purchaser or another Holder in the United States, will bear the following additional legend:

“HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT.”

 

3.                                                                                      The holding of a Warrant does not constitute the Holder a shareholder of the Corporation, nor entitle the holder to any right or interest in respect thereof except as expressly provided in this Warrant Certificate.

 

4.                                                                                      The Holder of this Warrant Certificate upon surrender hereof to the Corporation at its principal place of business, may exchange this Warrant Certificate for other Warrant Certificates entitling the bearer to purchase in the aggregate the same number of Common Shares referred to in this Warrant Certificate.

 

5.                                                                                      The Holder hereof, by acceptance of this Warrant Certificate, agrees that this Warrant Certificate and all rights hereunder are not transferable or assignable, in whole or in part, except: (a) to the Corporation, (b) outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act and in compliance with applicable local laws and regulations, or (c) to an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a) under the U.S. Securities Act) pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act, subject to such procedures, including provision of a legal opinion of seller’s counsel, as either the Holder or the Corporation reasonably deems necessary to document compliance with the U.S. Securities Act. The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may only be transferred on the register to be kept at the address for notice to the Corporation set out in Section 11, or at any other address which from time to time is the principal place of business of the Corporation, by delivery of a duly executed notice transfer form in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A by the Holder or its attorney to be appointed by an instrument in writing in form and execution satisfactory to the Corporation in compliance with such reasonable requirements as the Corporation may prescribe.

 

6.                                                                                      Subject in all cases to the TSX’s approval, the number of Common Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon exercise of the Warrants and the Exercise Price Per Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(a) if and whenever at any time from the date hereof and prior to the expiry of the Exercise Period, the Corporation shall:

 

(i)                                     subdivide its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares;

 

(ii)                                  consolidate its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares; or

 

(iii)                               fix a record date for the issuance of Common Shares or securities convertible into Common Shares by way of stock dividend or other distribution;

 

the number of Common Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon exercise of the Warrants shall be adjusted, at no cost to the Holder, immediately after such record date or the effective date of such subdivision, consolidation, stock dividend or other distribution by

 

4



 

multiplying the number of Common Shares theretofore obtainable on the exercise thereof by the fraction of which:

 

(A)                             the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding, including the Common Shares issuable from convertible securities that are distributed, immediately after such date, and

 

(B)                               the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such date,

 

and the Exercise Price Per Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price Per Warrant of this Warrant Certificate shall remain unchanged and such adjustments shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this Subsection shall occur (and all adjustments in this Subsection are cumulative). Any such issuance of Common Shares by way of stock dividend shall be deemed to have been made on the record date for such stock dividend;

 

(b) if and whenever at any time from the date hereof and ending at the expiry of the Exercise Period, the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issue of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares entitling the holders thereof, within a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) less than 95% of the Current Market Price (as defined below) on such record date, then the Exercise Price Per Warrant will be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it will equal the rate determined by multiplying the Exercise Price Per Warrant in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of Common Shares equal to the number arrived at by dividing the aggregate price of the total number of additional Common Shares so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered) by such Current Market Price, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the total number of additional Common Shares so offered for subscription or purchase (or into or for which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable). Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment will be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed, provided that if two or more such record dates or record dates referred to in this paragraph are fixed within a period of 25 trading days, such adjustment will be made successively as if each of such record dates occurred on the earliest of such record dates. To the extent that any such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price Per Warrant will then be readjusted to the Exercise Price Per Warrant which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be. For the purposes of this Subsection, “Current Market Price” shall mean the volume weighted average trading price of the

 

5



 

Common Shares on the TSX (or such other exchange on which the Common Shares are traded) for the five trading days immediately preceding the relevant date;

 

(c) if and whenever at any time from the date hereof and prior to the expiry of the Exercise Period, the Corporation shall issue or distribute to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares or set a record date for the issuance or distribution to such holders of any securities of the Corporation including rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares or property or assets including evidences of indebtedness, the holder of any Warrant who thereafter shall exercise his right to subscribe for Common Shares hereunder shall be entitled to receive, at no cost to such holder, and shall accept for the same aggregate consideration, in addition to the Common Shares to which he was theretofore entitled upon such exercise, the kind and amount of shares or other securities or property which such holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such issue or distribution as if, on the effective date thereof, he had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which he was theretofore entitled upon such exercise;

 

(d) if and whenever at any time from the date hereof and ending on the expiry of the Exercise Period, there is (i) any reclassification of or amendment to the outstanding Common Shares, any change of the Common Shares into other shares or any other reorganization of the Corporation (other than as described above); (ii) any consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, merger or other form of business combination of the Corporation with or into any other corporation resulting in any reclassification of the outstanding Common Shares, any change of the Common Shares into other shares or any other reorganization of the Corporation; or (iii) any sale, lease, exchange or transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or entity, then, in each such event, each holder of any Warrant which is thereafter exercised will be entitled to receive, and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise, the kind and number or amount of shares or other securities or property which such holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such event if, on the effective date thereof, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise;

 

(e)                                  if and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time, the Corporation takes any action affecting its Common Shares to which the foregoing provisions of this Section, in the opinion of the board of directors of the Corporation, acting reasonably and in good faith, are not strictly applicable, or if strictly applicable would not fairly adjust the rights of the Holder against dilution in accordance with the intent and purposes thereof, or would otherwise materially affect the rights of the Holder hereunder, then the Corporation shall execute and deliver to the Holder an amendment hereto providing for an adjustment in the application of such provisions so as to adjust such rights as aforesaid in such a manner as the board of directors of the Corporation may determine to be equitable in the circumstances, acting reasonably and in good faith;

 

(f) appropriate adjustments shall be made as a result of any such subdivision, consolidation, issue or distribution to the rights and interests of the Holder thereafter so that the provisions of this Article shall thereafter apply correspondingly to any shares, other securities or

 

6



 

other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of any Warrant and any such adjustments shall be made by and set forth in an agreement supplemental hereto approved by the directors and shall for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment;

 

(g) in any case in which this Section shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein, the Corporation may defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the holder of any Warrant exercising his subscription rights after such record date the additional Common Shares or other securities or property issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event; provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver to such holder an appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional Common Shares, other securities or property, as the case may be, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment and the right to receive any distributions made on such additional Common Shares, other securities or property, as the case may be, declared in favour of holders of record of Common Shares, other securities or property, as the case may be, on and after the date of exercise or such later date as such holder would but for the provisions of this Subsection, have become the holder of record of such additional Common Shares, other securities or property, as the case may be, pursuant to the due exercise of the Warrants held by such holder;

 

(h)                               at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective date or record date, as the case may be, of any event which requires or might require adjustment in any of the subscription rights pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, including the Exercise Price Per Warrant and the number of Common Shares which are purchasable upon the exercise thereof, or such longer period of notice as the Corporation shall be required to provide holders of Common Shares in respect of any such event, the Corporation shall notify the holder of this Warrant of the particulars of such event and, if determinable, the required adjustment and the computation of such adjustment. In case any adjustment for which such notice has been given is not then determinable, the Corporation shall promptly after such adjustment is determinable notify the holder of the Warrant of the adjustment and the computation of such adjustment;

 

(i) all shares of any class or other securities or property which the Holder is at the time in question entitled to receive on the full exercise of his Warrant, whether or not as a result of adjustments made pursuant to this Section shall, for the purposes of the interpretation of this Agreement, be deemed to be Common Shares which the Holder is entitled to subscribe for pursuant to the exercise of such Warrant;

 

(j) the adjustments provided for in this Section 6 are cumulative and shall, in the case of adjustments to the Exercise Price Per Warrant, be computed to the nearest one-tenth of one cent and shall be made successively whenever an event referred to therein shall occur, subject to the following: (i) no adjustments in the Exercise Price Per Warrant shall be required unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% in the then prevailing Exercise Price Per Warrant and no adjustment shall be made in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of Warrants unless it would result in a change of at least one one-hundredth of a share; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 6 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; and (ii) if a dispute shall at any time arise with respect to adjustments provided for in this Section 6, such dispute shall be conclusively determined by the Corporation’s

 

7



 

auditors, or if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such other firm of independent chartered or public accountants as may be selected by action by the board of directors of the Corporation, and any such determination shall be binding upon the Corporation, the Holder and shareholders of the Corporation. In the event that any such determination is made, the Corporation shall deliver a certificate to the Holder signed by such auditors or accountants describing such determination.

 

7.                                                                                      The Corporation hereby represents and warrants that it is authorized to create and issue the Warrants and covenants and agrees that it will cause the Common Shares from time to time subscribed for and purchased in the manner provided in this Warrant Certificate and the certificate or certificates representing such Common Shares to be issued and that, at all times prior to the expiry of the Exercise Period, there will remain unissued a sufficient number of Common Shares to satisfy the right of purchase provided for in this Warrant Certificate. All Common Shares which are issued upon the exercise of the right of purchase provided in this Warrant Certificate, upon payment therefor of the amount at which such Common Shares may be purchased pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant Certificate, shall be and be deemed to be fully paid and non-assessable shares and free from all taxes, liens, charges and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof. The Corporation hereby represents and warrants that this Warrant Certificate is a valid and enforceable obligation of the Corporation, enforceable in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant Certificate.

 

8.                                                                                      Forthwith following the issuance of this Warrant Certificate, the Corporation will apply for the listing of the Common Shares issuable pursuant to this Warrant Certificate on each securities exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed.

 

9.                                                                                      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 shares that includes a fraction of a 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 the market value of such share on the business day immediately preceding the date of such payment.

 

10.                                                                               Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Corporation of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate and, if requested by the Corporation, upon delivery of a bond of indemnity satisfactory to the Corporation (or, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate), the Corporation will issue to the Holder a replacement certificate (containing the same terms and conditions as this Warrant Certificate).

 

11.                                                                               All notices or other communications to be given under this Warrant Certificate shall be delivered by hand or by telecopier and, if delivered by hand, shall be deemed to have been given on the delivery date and, if sent by telecopier, on the date of transmission if sent before 5:00 p.m. on a business day or, if such day is not a business day, on the first business day following the date of transmission.

EXHIBIT “B”

NOTICE OF EXERCISE OF WARRANT FORM

 

(To be executed only upon exercise of Warrants)

 

Capitalized terms referred to but not defined herein have such meanings herein as are given thereto in the accompanying Warrant Certificate.

 

The undersigned registered owner of the accompanying Warrant Certificate hereby elects to exercise                    of the Warrants represented thereby on and subject to the terms and conditions incorporated by reference in the accompanying Warrant Certificate

 

The undersigned hereby certifies that the undersigned is either (i) the Original U.S. Purchaser, (ii) an accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501(a) under the U.S. Securities Act) (an “Accredited Investor”) or (iii) not a U.S. Person or a person in the United States, and is not acquiring any of the Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person or a person in the United States, and none of the persons listed below is a U.S. Person or a person in the United States, unless such person is the Original U.S. Purchaser or an Accredited Investor. In addition to this exercise form, but only to the extent required under the U.S. Securities Act, a Holder described in (i) or (ii) above must also provide an executed letter, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit “C” to the Warrant. For purposes hereof “United States” and “U.S. Person” shall have the meanings given to such terms in Regulation S under United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), and “Original U.S. Purchaser” means the accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the U.S. Securities Act who first purchased the Warrants.

The Holder intends that payment of the Exercise Price shall be made as (check one):

 

o                            a “Cash Exercise”; or

 

o                            a “Cashless Exercise”.

In the event that the Holder has elected a Cash Exercise, the Holder shall pay to the Corporation the aggregate purchase price of $                     in  connection with such exercise, the whole in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Certificate.
