(a) [Name] acknowledges and agrees that, at the Closing (as defined herein), or such other time as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, the certificates representing the Registrable Securities, will be delivered to an escrow agent to be determined by the Company in its sole discretion (the “Escrow Agent”) and held in escrow by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of a voluntary escrow agreement (an “Escrow Agreement”), in such form as is satisfactory to the Company, to be executed by [Name] at the request of the Company.

4.ADJUSTMENTS.

 

4.1. Adjustments upon Certain Transactions.

 

(a) The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted in the event the Company (i) pays a dividend or makes any other distribution with respect to any of its Common Shares solely in Common Shares, (ii) subdivides its outstanding Common Shares, or (iii) combines its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares. In such event, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the record date of such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision or combination (the “Effective Exercise Date”) shall be adjusted so that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive the number of Warrant Shares that such Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had the Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect hereto.

 

In addition, upon an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.1, the Exercise Price for each of the Warrant Shares payable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted (without rounding) so that it shall equal the product of the Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and the denominator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares so issuable immediately thereafter. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Effective Exercise Date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.

 

(b) For avoidance of doubt, the adjustment contemplated by this section can be expressed by formula as follows:

 

Ub = Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant before the adjustment

 

Ua = Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant after the adjustment

 

Pb = exercise price per share before the adjustment

 

Pa = exercise price per share after the adjustment

 

Ob = shares outstanding before the transaction in question

 

Oa = shares outstanding after the transaction in question

 

Ua = Ub x Oa / Ob

 

Pa = Pb x Ob / Oa

 

6

 

 

4.2. Dividends and Distributions.

 

(a) If the Company shall fix a record date for the payment of a dividend or the making of a distribution with respect to any of its Common Shares, (other than one covered by Section 4.1), then the Exercise Price to be in effect after the record date for such dividend or distribution shall be determined (without rounding) by multiplying (x) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value per share of Common Shares as of the last Business Day (or, if the Common Shares is then traded on a Recognized Securities Market, the last trading day) before the ex-date less the Fair Market Value of the cash, securities (excluding Common Shares that is the same class of securities for which this Warrant would be exercisable immediately after such distribution or dividend taking into account the adjustments pursuant to this Article 4) or other property paid per share in such dividend or distribution, and the denominator of which shall be the Fair Market Value per share of Common Shares as of the last Business Day (or, if the Common Shares is then traded on a Recognized Securities Market, the last trading day) before the ex-date. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 4.2(a), the total number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be such number of shares (calculated to the nearest thousandth) purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately before such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.

 

(b) For avoidance of doubt, the adjustment contemplated by Section 4.2(a)(2) can be expressed by formula as follows:

 

Ub = Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant before the adjustment

 

Ua = Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant after the adjustment

 

Pb = exercise price per share before the adjustment

 

Pa = exercise price per share after the adjustment

 

M = Fair Market Value per share of Common Shares as of the last Business Day (or, if applicable, trading day) before ex-date

 

D = Fair Market Value of the dividend or distribution made per share of Common Shares

 

Ua = Ub x M / (M - D)

 

Pa = Pb x (M - D) / M

 

7

 

 

4.3. Tender Offers. If a publicly-announced tender offer or issuer bid made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Shares shall expire and tendering holders of Common Shares are paid aggregate consideration having a Fair Market Value when paid which exceeds the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Common Shares acquired in such tender offer as of the last Business Day, or, if applicable, trading day before the date on which such tender offer is first publicly announced (such excess, the “Excess Tender Amount”), then the Exercise Price to be in effect after the tender offer expires shall be determined (without rounding) by multiplying (x) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Shares as of the last trading day before the date on which such tender offer is first publicly announced less the Premium Per Pro Forma Share, and the denominator of which shall be the Fair Market Value per share of Common Shares as of the last Business Day, or, if applicable, trading day before the date on which such tender offer is first publicly announced. As used herein, “Premium Per Pro Forma Share” means (x) the Excess Tender Amount divided by (y) the number of Common Shares outstanding at expiration of the tender offer after giving pro forma effect to the purchase of shares in the tender offer. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 4.3, the total number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be such number of Warrant Shares (calculated to the nearest thousandth) purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately before such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment. For avoidance of doubt, the adjustment contemplated by this section can be expressed by formula as follows:

 

Ub = Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant before the adjustment

 

Ua = Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant after the adjustment

 

Pb = exercise price per share before the adjustment

 

Pa = exercise price per share after the adjustment

 

M = Fair Market Value per share of Common Shares as of the last Business Day (or, if applicable, trading day) before the tender offer is announced

 

E = Excess Tender Amount (the aggregate premium paid in the tender offer)

 

Pr = Premium Per Pro Forma Share Oa = Shares outstanding after giving effect to tender offer

 

Pr = E / Oa

 

Ua = Ub x M / (M - Pr)

 

Pa = Pb x (M - Pr) / M

 

8

 

 

4.4. Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any consolidation, merger, amalgamation, arrangement or similar extraordinary transaction of the Company with another entity, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or any recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Shares, shall be effected (a “Reorganization Event”), and in connection with such Reorganization Event, the Warrant Shares shall be converted into or exchanged for or become the right to receive cash, securities or other property, then, as a condition of such Reorganization Event, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive on exercise of this Warrant, for an aggregate price equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for all of the Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant as in effect immediately before such transaction (subject to adjustment thereafter as contemplated by the succeeding sentence), the same kind and amount of cash, securities or other property as it would have had the right to receive if it had exercised this Warrant immediately before such transaction and been entitled to participate therein. In the event of any such Reorganization Event, the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that applicable provisions of this Warrant (including, without limitation, the provisions of this Article 4) shall thereafter be binding on the other party to such transaction (or the successor in such transaction) and applicable to any securities thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company will not effect any such Reorganization Event unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other than the Company) resulting from such Reorganization Event or the entity purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder of this Warrant, executed and mailed or delivered to the Holder at the last address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver the cash, securities or property deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall notify the Holder of this Warrant of any such proposed Reorganization Event reasonably prior to the consummation thereof so as to provide such Holder with a reasonable opportunity prior to such consummation to exercise this Warrant in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof; provided, however, that in the case of a transaction which requires notice to be given to the holders of Common Shares of the Company, the Holder of this Warrant shall be provided the same notice given to the holders of other Common Shares of the Company.

 

4.5. Full-Ratchet Adjustment for Lower Revaluations. In the case of (a) any issuance of Common Shares, rights or options to acquire Common Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into, or exercisable for Common Shares (other than Common Shares underlying rights or options to acquire Common Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares, in each case that are issued and outstanding on the date hereof or that are issued to directors, officers or employees of the Company pursuant to the terms of a stock option plan that is in existence as of the date hereof), or (b) the amendment to or change in the exercise, conversion or exchange price of such securities, in each case for an Effective Issuance Price that is lower than the Exercise Price (in each case, other than issuances, amendments or changes covered by Section 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4), the Exercise Price for this Warrant shall be further reduced to an amount equal to the Effective Issuance Price.

 

As used herein, the “Effective Issuance Price” shall be:

 

(i) with respect to Common Shares issued for cash the per share amount of the net cash proceeds received by the Company for such Common Shares;

 

(ii) with respect to Common Shares issued for other consideration, the Fair Market Value of the net consideration calculated on a per share basis;

 

9

 

 

(iii) with respect to any option, warrant or other right to acquire Common Shares, whether direct or indirect and whether or not conditional or contingent, the sum of (a) the Fair Market Value of the aggregate consideration, if any, received by the Company for the issuance of such option, warrant or right divided by the number of Common Shares into which such option, warrant or right is exercisable at time of issuance, plus (b) the per share amount of the exercise price to the extent paid in cash and per share Fair Market Value of the exercise price if paid in other consideration; and

 

(iv) with respect to securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares, the net consideration per security paid for such securities (to the extent paid in cash) or the net Fair Market Value of the consideration per security paid for such securities if the price for such securities is paid in other consideration, as of the date of their issuance divided by the number of Common Shares for which such securities are convertible or exchangeable.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the Exercise Price of this Warrant shall in no event be increased pursuant to this Section 4.5.

 

4.6. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant. Instead, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, a sum in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Shares, as determined by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Board, on the Business Day or, if applicable, trading day immediately prior to the date of exercise.

 

4.7. Notice of Adjustment. Prior to the consummation of any transaction, action or other event that would trigger an adjustment (or right to adjustment) under this Section 4, the Company shall mail to the Holder by first class mail, postage prepaid, no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to such consummation notice of such transaction, action or other event, along with reasonable details with respect thereto. Whenever the number of Common Shares or other stock or property issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly mail by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder notice of such adjustment or adjustments and shall deliver a certificate of a firm of independent public accountants selected by the Board (who may be the regular accountants employed by the Company) setting forth the number of Common Shares or other stock or property issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by which such adjustment was made.

 

5.WARRANT TRANSFER BOOKS.

 

The Company shall cause to be kept at its principal office a register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of this Warrant Certificate and of transfers or exchanges of this Warrant Certificate as herein provided.

 

At the option of the Holder, this Warrant Certificate may be exchanged at such office, and upon payment of the charges hereinafter provided. Whenever this Warrant Certificate is so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute and deliver the Warrant Certificates that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

 

All Warrant Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of this Warrant Certificate shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same obligations, and entitled to the same benefits, as the Warrant Certificate surrendered for such registration of transfer or exchange.

 

If this Warrant Certificate is surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange it shall (if so required by the Company) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

 

No service charge shall be made to the Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Warrant Certificate. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of this Warrant Certificate.

 

The Warrant Certificate when duly endorsed in blank shall be deemed negotiable and when this Warrant Certificate shall have been so endorsed, the Holder hereof may be treated by the Company and all other persons dealing therewith as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the Person entitled to exercise the rights represented hereby, or to the transfer hereof on the register of the Company, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding; but until such transfer on such register, the Company shall treat the registered Holder hereof as the owner for all purposes. No such transfer shall be registered until the Company has been supplied with the aforementioned instruments of transfer and any other such documentation as the Company may reasonably require.

6.WARRANT HOLDER.

 

6.1. Right of Action. All rights of action in respect of this Warrant are vested in the Holder hereof, and the Holder, without the consent of the Company, may, on such Holder’s own behalf and for such Holder’s own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against the Company suitable to enforce, or otherwise in respect of, such Holder’s right to exercise or exchange this Warrant in the manner provided herein or any other obligation of the Company under this Warrant.

 

7.REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS.

 

7.1. Reservation of Common Shares for Issuance on Exercise of Warrant. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, free from pre-emptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares, solely for the purpose of issue upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, such number of Common Shares as shall then be issuable upon the exercise of all Warrant Shares issuable hereunder plus such number of Common Shares as shall then be issuable upon the exercise of other outstanding warrants, options and rights (whether or not vested), the settlement of any forward sale, swap or other derivative contract, and the conversion of all outstanding convertible securities or other instruments convertible into Common Shares or rights to acquire Common Shares. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares and other Common Shares which shall be issuable shall, upon such issue, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable.

 

7.2. Notice of Dividends. At any time when the Company declares any dividend on its Common Shares, it shall give notice to the Holder of this Warrant of any such declaration not less than 15 days prior to the related record date for payment of the dividend so declared.

 

7.3. Capitalization. The Company represents and warrants to the Holder that as of the date hereof, the Company has 83,130,498 Common Shares outstanding and on a fully diluted basis, before giving effect to this Warrant or the Common Shares issuable on conversion of the Line of Credit Note, the Company has 89,787,688 Common Shares on a fully diluted basis. To the extent that this representation is not true as of the date hereof and there are more Common Shares outstanding then set out above (actual or on a diluted basis), the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased such that the Warrant would exercise into 44% of the Common Shares on a diluted as were then outstanding as of the date hereof. For greater certainty, should there be fewer Common Shares outstanding than as set out in this representation, no adjustment shall be made to the number of Warrant Shares issuable on exercise of the Warrant.

 

8.MISCELLANEOUS.

 

8.1. Payment of Taxes. The Company shall pay all transfer, stamp and other similar taxes that may be imposed in respect of the issuance or delivery of this Warrant or in respect of the issuance or delivery by the Company of any securities upon exercise of this Warrant with respect thereto. The Company shall not be required, however, to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issue of any certificate for Common Shares or other securities underlying this Warrant or payment of cash to any Person other than the Holder of this Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the exercise or purchase of this Warrant, and in case of such transfer or payment, the Company shall not be required to issue any stock certificate to pay any cash until such tax or charge has been paid or it has been established to the Company’s satisfaction that no such tax or other charge is due.
