When dividends (other than stock dividends) are paid on Common Shares, additional Share Units (“Dividend Share Units”) shall be credited to a Participant’s Share Unit Account as of the dividend payment date. The number of Dividend Share Units to be credited to the Participant’s Share Unit Account shall be determined by multiplying the aggregate number of Share Units held by the Participant on the relevant record date by the amount of the dividend paid by the Corporation on each Common Share, and dividing the result by the Fair Market Value on the dividend payment date, which Dividend Share Units shall be in the form of RSUs or PSUs, as applicable.

An account, called a “Share Unit Account”, shall be maintained by the Corporation for each Participant and will be credited with such grants of RSUs, PSUs or Dividend Share Units as are received by the Participant from time to time. Share Units that fail to vest or that are settled in accordance with Section 5.7 shall be cancelled and shall cease to be recorded in the Participant’s Share Unit Account as of the date on which such Share Units are forfeited or cancelled under the Plan or are settled, as the case may be. Where a Participant has been granted one or more RSUs or PSUs, such RSUs and PSUs (and related Dividend Share Units) shall be recorded separately in the Participant’s Share Unit Account.

 

5.7Settlement of Share Unit Awards.

 

On or as soon as practicable following the Vesting Date of a Share Unit and in any event no later than December 31 of the third year following the year in respect of which the Share Unit is granted (the “Settlement Date”), and subject to Section 10.12, the Corporation shall, in its sole discretion (i) issue from treasury the number of Common Shares that is equal to the number of vested Share Units held by the Participant as at the Settlement Date (rounded down to the nearest whole number), as fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares, (ii) deliver to the Participant an amount in cash (net of applicable withholding taxes) equal to the number of vested Share Units held by the Participant as at the Settlement Date multiplied by the Fair Market Value as at the Settlement Date, or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii). Upon settlement of such Share Units, the corresponding number of Share Units credited to the Participant’s Share Unit Account shall be cancelled, and the Participant shall have no further rights, title or interest with respect thereto.

In the event that there is any change in the Common Shares or in the capital structure of the Corporation by reason of any stock or extraordinary cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, an extraordinary corporate transaction such as any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange or other relevant change in capitalization, then the Board, to prevent inappropriate dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights under the Plan, shall substitute or adjust, in its sole discretion: (i) the number and kind of shares or other securities that may be granted pursuant to Awards; (ii) the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to outstanding Awards; (iii) the Option Price applicable to outstanding Options; (iv) the number of Share Units in the Participants’ Share Unit Accounts; (v) the vesting of PSUs; and/or (vi) other value determinations (including performance conditions) applicable to the Plan or outstanding Awards; provided, however, that no adjustment will obligate the Corporation to issue or sell fractional securities. Any such adjustments shall, to the extent applicable, be made in good-faith compliance with Code Section 409A and/or paragraph 7(1.4)(c) of the Income Tax Act (Canada), as applicable.

 

Article 10

It is the responsibility of the Participant to advise the Corporation of any change in address, and neither the Corporation nor any Affiliate shall have any responsibility for any failure by the Participant to do so.

10.2Continued Employment and Engagement; Voluntary Participation.

 

No Participant shall be induced to acquire, exercise or settle an Award by expectation of employment, engagement or other service or continued employment, engagement or other service. Nothing contained in the Plan or by the grant of any Awards will confer upon any Participant any right to the continuation of the Participant’s employment, engagement or other service by or with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates or interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates at any time to terminate a Participant’s employment, engagement or other service or to increase or decrease the compensation of a Participant. Nothing in the Plan may be construed to provide any Participant with any rights whatsoever to compensation or damages in lieu of notice or continued participation in, or entitlements under, the Plan as a consequence of a Participant’s termination of employment, engagement or other service (regardless of the reason for the termination and the party causing the termination, including a termination without Cause). The Plan does not give any Participant any right to claim any benefit or compensation except to the extent specifically provided in the Plan. Participation in the Plan by an Employee, Director or Consultant shall be voluntary.

 

10.3Amendment and Termination.

 

(a)The Board may amend or suspend any provision of the Plan or any Award, or terminate the Plan, at any time without approval of security holders, subject to those provisions of applicable law and the rules, regulations and policies of the Exchanges, if any, that require the approval of security holders or any governmental or regulatory body regardless of whether any such amendment or suspension is material, fundamental or otherwise, and notwithstanding any rule of common law or equity to the contrary. However, except as expressly set forth herein or as required pursuant to applicable law or to qualify for any intended tax treatment, no action of the Board or security holders may materially adversely alter or impair the rights of a Participant under any Award previously granted to the Participant without the consent of the affected Participant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board may make the following types of amendments to the Plan or any Award without seeking security holder approval:

 

(i)amendments of a “housekeeping” or administrative nature, including any amendment for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, error or omission in the Plan or any Award or to correct or supplement any provision of the Plan or any Award that is inconsistent with any other provision of the Plan or any Award;

 

- 16

 

(ii)amendments necessary to comply with the provisions of applicable law or the rules, regulations and policies of the Exchanges;

 

(iii)amendments necessary for Awards to qualify for favorable treatment under applicable tax laws;

 

(iv)amendments to the vesting provisions of the Plan or any Award;

 

(v)amendments to include or modify a cashless exercise feature, payable in cash or Common Shares, which provides for a full deduction of the number of underlying Common Shares from the Plan maximum;

 

(vi)amendments to the termination or early termination provisions of the Plan or any Award, whether or not such Award is held by an insider, provided such amendment does not entail an extension beyond the original expiry date of the Award; and

 

(vii)amendments necessary to suspend or terminate the Plan.

 

(b)Security holder approval will only be required for the following types of amendments:

 

(i)any amendment to increase the maximum number of Common Shares issuable under the Plan, other than pursuant to Section 9.1;

 

(ii)any amendment to the Plan that increases the length of the period after a Blackout Period during which Options may be exercised;

 

(iii)any amendment which would result in the Option Price for any Option granted under the Plan being lower than the Fair Market Value at the Grant Date of the Option;

 

(iv)any amendment that would permit the introduction or reintroduction of Directors as eligible recipients of Awards on a discretionary basis or any amendment that increases the limits previously imposed on Director participation;

 

(v)any amendment to remove or to exceed the insider participation limit set out in Section 3.2;

 

(vi)any amendment which reduces the Option Price of an Option or allows for the cancellation and reissuance of an Option, which would be considered a repricing under the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange, in each case, other than pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 9.1;

 

(vii)any amendment extending the term of an Option beyond the original expiry date, except as provided in Section 4.8;

 

- 17

 

(viii)any amendment which deletes or reduces the range of amendments which require approval by the security holders of the Corporation under this Section 10.3(b);

 

(ix)any amendment which would allow for the transfer or assignment of Awards under the Plan, other than pursuant to Section 10.15 and for normal estate settlement purposes; and

 

(x)amendments required to be approved by security holders under applicable law or the rules, regulations and policies of the Exchanges.

 

10.4Administration.

 

The Plan shall be administered by the Board, which shall be empowered to: (i) interpret and administer the Plan from time to time; (ii) adopt, amend and rescind rules and regulations for carrying out the Plan; (iii) grant Awards; (iv) determine the Option Price, Performance Period, Performance Vesting Conditions, vesting schedule, term, limitations, restrictions and conditions applicable to Awards; (v) waive or amend the Performance Vesting Conditions, any other vesting conditions or vesting schedule; and (vi) make any other determinations that the Board deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. The Board may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan, in the manner and to the extent the Board deems, in its discretion, necessary or desirable. Any decision or determination made or action taken by the Board arising out of or in connection with the interpretation and administration of the Plan shall be final and conclusive, and the interpretation and construction of any provision of the Plan by the Board shall be final and conclusive. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may, from time to time, delegate to a committee of the Board all or any of the powers conferred on the Board pursuant to the Plan. No member of the Board or any Person acting pursuant to authority delegated by it, shall be liable for any action or determination in connection with the Plan made or taken in good faith, and each member of the Board and each such Person shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to any such action or determination in the manner provided for by the Corporation.

 

10.5No Undertaking or Representation.

 

The Participants, by participating in the Plan, shall be deemed to have accepted all risks associated with acquiring Common Shares pursuant to the Plan. The Corporation, its Affiliates and the Board make no undertaking, representation, warranty or guarantee as to the future value or price, or as to the listing on any stock exchange or other market, of any Common Shares issued in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, and shall not be liable to any Participant for any loss whatsoever resulting from that Participant’s participation in the Plan or as a result of the amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan or any Award.

 

10.6Clawback.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any Award which is subject to recovery or recoupment under applicable laws, stock exchange listing requirements or policies adopted by the Corporation, as may be adopted and amended from time to time, will be subject to such deductions and clawbacks as may be required pursuant to such laws, stock exchange listing requirements or policies.

 

- 18

 

10.7Applicable Law.

 

The Plan and the provisions hereof shall be governed by and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

 

10.8Currency.

 

Unless otherwise specifically provided herein or in a Grant Agreement to the contrary, all references to dollars in the Plan and in the Grant Agreements are references to United States dollars.

 

10.9Compliance with Applicable Law.

 

If any provision of the Plan or any Award contravenes any law or any order, policy, by-law, rule or regulation of any regulatory body or stock exchange having jurisdiction or authority over the securities of the Corporation or its Affiliates or the Plan, then such provision may in the discretion of the Board be amended to the extent considered necessary or desirable to bring such provision into compliance therewith, and appropriate consideration shall be paid by the Corporation to the extent that a Participant is adversely affected by such amendment.

 

The Corporation intends for the Plan to comply with 42 U.S.C. §§ 1320, 1320a-7, 7a and 7b, 1395w-4, 1395i, 1395 and 1395u (commonly referred to as the Federal Fraud Statutes), 42 U.S.C. § 1395nn (commonly referred to as the Stark Law), 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729-3733 (commonly referred to as the Federal False Claims Act) and 42 U.S.C. §§ 1320d through 1320d-8 and 42 C.F.R. §§160, 162 and 164 (commonly referred to as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA), and all other laws specifically applicable to the Corporation by virtue of the business(es) it may conduct and/or the industries in which it may operate from time to time (for avoidance of doubt, in addition to all laws of general applicability). Accordingly, and without limitation, the Board shall not base its decision to grant an Award to a particular Employee, Director, or Consultant, or its inclusion of certain terms and conditions into an Award Agreement therefor, on such Employee’s, Director’s, or Consultant’s referrals to the Corporation or any of its Affiliates.

 

10.10Unfunded Plan.

 

The Plan is unfunded. To the extent any individual holds any rights under the Plan, such rights (unless otherwise determined by the Board) are no greater than the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Corporation.

 

10.11Successors and Assigns.

 

The Plan shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Corporation and each Participant, including without limitation, the legal representative of a Participant, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the creditors of the Corporation or a Participant.

 

- 19

 

10.12Tax Consequences.

 

It is the responsibility of the Participant to complete and file any tax returns which may be required under any applicable tax laws within the periods specified in those laws as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Corporation shall not be held responsible for any tax consequences to the Participant as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The exercise of each Option and the settlement of each Share Unit granted under the Plan is subject to the condition that if at any time the Corporation determines, in its discretion, that the satisfaction of withholding tax or other withholding liabilities is required under applicable law in respect of such Award, such exercise or settlement is not effective unless such withholding has been effected to the satisfaction of the Corporation. In such circumstances, the Corporation may require a Participant to: (i) pay to the Corporation sufficient cash as is reasonably determined by the Corporation to be the amount necessary to permit the required tax remittance to the relevant taxing authority; or (ii) make other arrangements acceptable to the Corporation to fund the required tax remittance. To the extent permitted by the Board and as permitted by applicable law, a Participant may elect to surrender vested Options or Share Units to the Corporation for a cash payment which shall be used to satisfy the withholding tax or other withholding liabilities as required under applicable law. The number of vested Options or Share Units that may be surrendered for a cash payment shall be equal to the withholding tax and other withholding liabilities as required under applicable law divided by the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the applicable exercise date (rounded up to the nearest whole vested Option) or Settlement Date, as applicable.

 

10.13Government Regulation and Grant Restrictions.

 

The Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver Common Shares under any Award is subject to: (i) the completion of such registration or other qualification of such Common Shares or obtaining approval of such regulatory authority as the Corporation shall determine to be necessary or advisable in connection with the authorization, issuance or sale thereof; (ii) the admission of such Common Shares to listing on any Exchange on which such Common Shares may then be listed; and (iii) the receipt from the Participant of such representations, agreements and undertakings as to future dealings in such Common Shares as the Corporation determines to be necessary or advisable in order to safeguard against the violation of the securities laws of any jurisdiction. The Corporation shall take all reasonable steps to obtain such approvals, registrations and qualifications as may be necessary for the issuance of such Common Shares in compliance with applicable securities laws and for the listing of such Common Shares on any Exchange on which such Common Shares are then listed. The Corporation may endorse such legend or legends upon the certificates for, or other evidences of, Common Shares issued upon the exercise or settlement of an Award and may issue such “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent in respect of such Common Shares as, in its absolute discretion, it determines to be necessary or appropriate. Awards may not be granted with a Grant Date or effective date earlier than the date on which all actions required to grant the Awards have been completed.

 

10.14Non-Exclusivity.

 

Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements for the benefit of any Participant, subject to any required regulatory or shareholder approval.

 

- 20

 

10.15Prohibition on Transfer, Assignment or Pledge of Awards.

 

Awards are personal to the Participant. No Participant may deal with any Award or any interest in it or transfer or assign any Award held by the Participant, except in the event of death or Disability, where an Award may be transferred to the Participant’s heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, personal legal representatives or the like. A purported transfer or assignment of any Award in any other circumstances will not be valid and the Corporation will not issue any Common Shares upon the attempted exercise or settlement of any such improperly transferred or assigned Award. A Participant may not mortgage, hypothecate, pledge or grant a security interest in any Award.

 

10.16Other Employee Benefits.

 

The amount of any compensation received or deemed to be received by a Participant as a result of his or her participation in the Plan will not constitute compensation, earnings or wages with respect to which any other employee benefits of that Participant are determined, including, without limitation, benefits under any bonus, pension, profit-sharing, insurance, termination, severance or salary continuation plan or any other employee benefit plans, nor under any applicable employment standards or other legislation, except as otherwise specifically determined by the Board.

 

10.17Priority of Agreements.

 

In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the provisions of the Plan and any Award Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall prevail. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the provisions of the Plan or any Award Agreement, on the one hand, and a Participant’s employment or service agreement with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates (or a similar agreement), on the other hand, the provisions of the employment or service agreement (or a similar agreement) shall prevail.

 

10.18General.

 

The existence of any Award does not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation to make, authorize or determine any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or any other change in the Corporation’s capital structure or its business, or any amalgamation, arrangement, combination, merger or consolidation involving the Corporation, to create or issue any bonds, debentures, Common Shares or other securities of the Corporation or to determine the rights and conditions attaching thereto, to effect the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or to effect any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise, whether or not any such action referred to in this Section 10.18 would have an adverse effect on the Plan or any Award pursuant to the Plan.

 

10.19Severability.

 

If any provision of the Plan shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be severed from the Plan and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

 

- 21

 

10.20Effective Date.

 

The Plan was effective as of October 3, 2018 and was amended and restated on May 24, 2019 and on May 6, 2021. The Replacement Options shall be governed by the terms of the Plan effective as of October 3, 2018. The Plan, as amended and restated on May 6, 2021, shall apply to all Awards granted hereunder on or after May 6, 2021.

GREENBROOK TMS INC.

AMENDED AND RESTATED OMNIBUS EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

 

The provisions of this addendum to the Plan (the “Addendum”) apply to Options and Share Units granted to or held while a U.S. Participant. All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Addendum have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. Section references set forth below refer to sections of the Plan where not otherwise indicated. This Addendum shall have no effect on any other terms and provisions of the Plan or any Awards except as set forth below.

 

1.Definitions.

 

As used in this Addendum, the Plan or any Award Agreement with respect to any U.S. Participant:

 

(a)“Change in Control” has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan; provided, that a Change in Control shall be limited to a “change in control event” as defined under Code Section 409A to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes, penalties and interest under Code Section 409A in the case of a U.S. Participant.

 

(b)“Fair Market Value” has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan; provided, that Fair Market Value shall be determined consistent with the principles of Code Section 409A to the extent applicable in the case of a U.S. Participant.

 

(c)“Separation from Service” means, with respect to a U.S. Participant, any event that qualifies as a separation from service under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h).

 

(d)“Settlement Date” has the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 4 of this Addendum.

 

(e)“Vesting Date” means, in the case of a U.S. Participant, the date that a Share Unit ceases to be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture for purposes of Code Section 409A.

 

2.Plan Not Subject to ERISA.

 

The Plan is not subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

 

3.Options Granted to U.S. Participants.

 

(a)Each Option granted to a U.S. Participant is intended as a “nonqualified stock option” exempt from Code Section 409A and is not intended to meet the requirements of Code Section 422. An Option may be granted to a U.S. Participant only if, with respect to such U.S. Participant, the Corporation is an “eligible issuer of service recipient stock” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.

 

- 23

 

(b)In the case of an Option granted to a U.S. Participant, the Board shall extend the expiration of the Option due to a Blackout Period as provided under Section 4.8 of the Plan solely to the extent permitted in good-faith compliance with Code Section 409A, including Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(C)(1) promulgated thereunder.

 

4.Settlement of Share Units.

 

With respect to a Share Unit held by a U.S. Participant, settlement shall be made (if ever) on or as soon as practicable following the Vesting Date, and in any event no later than the earlier of (i) December 31 of the third year following the year in respect of which the Share Unit is granted and (ii) March 15 of the year following the year in which the Vesting Date occurs (the date of such settlement, the “Settlement Date”). Subject to the timing set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the settlement of a Share Unit held by a U.S. Participant shall be effected in accordance with Section 5.7 of the Plan.

 

5.Change in Control.

 

With respect to Awards held by U.S. Participants, any actions taken under Section 7.1 of the Plan shall be taken in good-faith compliance with Code Section 409A. Without limitation, if any consideration payable under Section 7.1(e) of the Plan is deferred and/or contingent as a result of escrows, earnouts, holdbacks or any other contingencies, then, in order to comply with Code Section 409A, payment of such consideration may be accelerated, delayed or limited, or may made on substantially the same terms and conditions as are applicable to, and only to the extent actually paid to, the holders of Common Shares in connection with the Change in Control.

 

6.No Acceleration or Delay.

 

With respect to any Award held by a U.S. Participant that is subject to Code Section 409A, the acceleration or delay of the time or schedule of any payment except as provided under the Plan (including this Addendum) is prohibited except to the extent permitted in regulations and administrative guidance promulgated under Code Section 409A.

 

7.Code Section 409A.

 

(a)Each Award made to a U.S. Participant is intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A, and the Plan and each Award Agreement shall be construed and interpreted consistent with such intent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Award granted to a U.S. Participant is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, such Award will be subject to such additional rules and requirements as may be specified by the Board from time to time in order to comply with Code Section 409A.

 

- 24

 

(b)With respect to Awards subject to Code Section 409A, all payments to be made upon, or on a date determined by reference to, a U.S. Participant’s Termination Date shall only be made upon or by reference to a Separation from Service, and in such a case, “termination,” “separation,” “Termination Date” and similar terms will be construed accordingly. If on the date of the U.S. Participant’s Separation from Service (i) the Corporation’s stock (or stock of any other company that is required to be aggregated with the Corporation in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A) is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise, and (ii) the U.S. Participant is a “specified employee” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i), then any amounts payable to the U.S. Participant under the Plan due to, and upon or within six months following, the U.S. Participant’s Separation from Service (other than due to death) will be postponed and instead paid in a single lump sum, without interest, within 30 days after the date that is six months following the U.S. Participant’s Separation from Service; provided, that if the U.S. Participant dies prior to payment of any amounts postponed hereunder, such amounts shall be paid to the U.S. Participant’s estate within 30 days following the U.S. Participant’s death.

 

(c)If any provision of the Plan or any Award or Award Agreement contravenes Code Section 409A or could cause a U.S. Participant to incur any tax, interest or penalties under Code Section 409A, the Board may, in its sole discretion and without the U.S. Participant’s consent, modify such provision to: (i) comply with, or avoid being subject to, Code Section 409A, or to avoid incurring taxes, interest and penalties under Code Section 409A; and/or (ii) maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent and economic benefit to the U.S. Participant of the applicable provision without materially increasing the cost to the Corporation or contravening Code Section 409A. However, the Corporation shall have no obligation to modify the Plan or any Award or Award Agreement and does not guarantee that Awards will not be subject to taxes, interest and penalties under Code Section 409A. In no event shall the Corporation or any of its Affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on a U.S. Participant under Code Section 409A or for any damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A.
