Upon the conversion of any Subscription Receipts in accordance with Section 4.1(a), the securities thereby issuable will be issued, and the Person or Persons to whom such securities are to be issued will be the holder or holders of record thereof, at the Release Time, unless the transfer registers for the Underlying Shares or the Underlying Warrants are closed on that date, in which case such Underlying Shares and the Underlying Warrants will be deemed to have been issued and such Person or Persons will become the holder or holders of record thereof on the date on which such transfer registers are reopened, but such Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants will be issued on the basis of the number of Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants to which such Person or Persons were entitled at the Release Time.

Subject to the immediately following sentence, the Corporation shall not be required, upon the conversion of the Subscription Receipts or upon any adjustment in accordance with Article 7 hereof, to issue fractions of Underlying Shares or Underlying Warrants to any person or to issue certificates which evidence a fractional Underlying Share or Underlying Warrant.

  • 26 -

exercise such right in respect of the fraction or fractions only in combination with its entitlement to a fraction or fractions of an Underlying Share or Underlying Warrant in respect of another Subscription Receipt or Subscription Receipts that in the aggregate entitle the Subscription Receiptholder to receive a whole number of Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants and the Corporation shall issue such whole Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants to the Subscription Receiptholder in respect of those fractions that in the aggregate form whole Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants. All fractions of an Underlying Share and an Underlying Warrant will be rounded down and the Corporation shall not pay any amounts to the holder in satisfaction of the right to otherwise have received a fraction of an Underlying Share or Underlying Warrant.

4.5 Securities Restrictions

  • (a) General: No Underlying Shares or Underlying Warrants will be issued pursuant to the conversion of any Subscription Receipt if the issue of such Underlying Shares or Underlying Warrants would constitute a violation of the securities laws of any jurisdiction and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the certificates (if any) representing the Underlying Shares or Underlying Warrants thereby issued will bear such legend or legends as may, in the opinion of Counsel to the Corporation, be necessary or advisable in order to avoid a violation of any securities laws of any jurisdiction or to comply with the requirements of any stock exchange on which the Common Shares may then be listed, provided that if, at any time, in the opinion of Counsel to the Corporation, such legend or legends are no longer necessary or advisable in order to avoid a violation of any such laws or requirements, or the holder of any such legended certificate, at the expense thereof, provides the Corporation with evidence satisfactory in form and substance to the Corporation (which may include an opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Corporation) to the effect that such holder is entitled to sell or otherwise transfer such Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants in a transaction in which such legend or legends are not required, such legended certificate may thereafter be surrendered to the Corporation in exchange for a certificate which does not bear such legend or legends.

ARTICLE 7 ADJUSTMENTS

7.1 Adjustment of Number of Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants

The Subscription Receipts shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in the following circumstances and manner:

  • (a) Subject to Section 7.2, if and whenever at any time from the Closing Date and prior to the Release Date, the Corporation shall:

  • (i) subdivide, redivide or change its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares;

  • (ii) except for the Corporation Consolidation, reduce, combine or consolidate its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares; or

  • (iii) issue Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend or make a distribution to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares on its outstanding Common Shares payable in Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares;

then, in each such event, the number of Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts shall be adjusted immediately after the effective date of such subdivision, redivision, change, reduction, combination or consolidation, or the record date for such issue of Common Shares by way of a stock dividend or distribution, as the case may be, by multiplying the number of Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts by a fraction:

  • (A) the numerator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such date; and

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

Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this Section 7.1(a) shall occur. Any such issue or distribution of Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares shall be deemed to have been made on the record date for such issue or distribution for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under Section 7.1(b) and Section 7.1(c).

  • (b) Subject to Section 7.2, if and whenever at any time from the Closing Date and prior to the Release Date, the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common

257606.00143/95220387.5

  • 35 -

Shares entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 45 days after such record date, 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 on such record date, the number of Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the number determined by multiplying the number of Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants, respectively, issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts by a fraction:

  • (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable; and

  • (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus a number of Common Shares equal to the number arrived at by dividing the aggregate price of the total number of additional Common Shares 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.

Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation or any Subsidiary shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that any such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the number of Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants, respectively, issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts shall be readjusted to the number of Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants, respectively, issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the number of Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants, respectively, issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts 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.

  • (c) Subject to Section 7.2, if and whenever at any time from the Closing Date and prior to the Release Date, the Corporation shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common Shares of:

  • (i) shares of the Corporation of any class other than Common Shares or other securities of the Corporation;

257606.00143/95220387.5

  • 36 -

  • (ii) rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) or other securities of the Corporation;

  • (iii) evidences of its indebtedness; or

  • (iv) any property or other assets;

(excluding, in each case, any distribution referred to in Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.1(b)) then, in each such case, the number of Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the number determined by multiplying the number of Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts by a fraction:

  • (v) the numerator of which will be the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price on such record date; and

  • (vi) the denominator of which will be:

  • (A) the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price on such record date; less

  • (B) the aggregate fair market value, as determined by the directors of the Corporation, acting reasonably, (whose determination, absent manifest error, will be conclusive), to the holders of Common Shares of such shares, other securities, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or other assets so distributed.

  • Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation or any Subsidiary shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that such distribution is not so made, the number of Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts shall be readjusted to the number of Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants, respectively, issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the number of Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants, respectively, issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts which would then be in effect based upon such shares, other securities, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or other assets actually distributed, as the case may be.

Subject to Section 7.2 and, for greater certainty, excluding the Business Combination and the Corporate Consolidation, if and whenever at any time from the Closing Date and prior to the Release Date, there is a reclassification of the Common Shares or a capital reorganization of the Corporation (other than as described in Section 7.1(a), Section 7.1(b) or Section 7.1(c)) or an amalgamation,

arrangement or merger of the Corporation with or into any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, or a sale or conveyance of the property and assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, any Subscription Receiptholder who has not been deemed to have exercised the issuance rights prior to the effective date of such reclassification, reorganization, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, sale or conveyance shall, upon the exercise or deemed conversion of the Subscription Receipts, be entitled to receive and shall accept in lieu of the number of Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants to which the Subscription Receiptholder was prior thereto entitled upon any such exercise or deemed conversion, the kind and number of shares or other securities or property of the Corporation or of the body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity resulting from such reclassification, capital reorganization, amalgamation, arrangement or merger or to which such sale or conveyance may be made, as the case may be, that such Subscription Receiptholder would have been entitled to receive on such reclassification, capital reorganization, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, sale or conveyance, if on the record date or the effective date thereof, as the case may be, the Subscription Receiptholder had been the registered holder of the number of Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants to which immediately before the transaction or event the Subscription Receiptholder was entitled upon exercise or deemed conversion of the Subscription Receipts. To give effect to or to evidence the provisions of this Section 7.1(c), the Corporation, its successor, or such purchasing body corporate, partnership, trust or other entity, as the case may be, shall, prior to or contemporaneously with any such reclassification, capital reorganization, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, sale or conveyance, enter into an agreement which shall provide, to the extent possible, for the application of the provisions set out in this Agreement with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Subscription Receiptholder to the effect that the provisions set out in this Agreement shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be possible, with respect to any shares, other securities or property to which a Subscription Receiptholder is entitled on the exercise or deemed conversion of the Subscription Receipts thereafter. Any agreement entered into between the Corporation and the Subscription Receipt Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.1(c) shall be a supplemental agreement entered into pursuant to the provisions of Article 10. Any agreement entered into between the Corporation, any successor to the Corporation or such purchasing body corporate, partnership, trust or other entity and the Subscription Receipt Agent shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided in this Section 7.1 and which shall apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations, amalgamations, arrangements, mergers, sales or conveyances.

  • (d) In any case in which this Section 7.1 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 Subscription Receipt in respect of which the Subscription Receipts are deemed to have been exercised after such event, the additional Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants or other securities or property issuable upon such exercise or

257606.00143/95220387.5

  • 38 -

deemed exercise as the case may be, by reason of the adjustment required by such event before giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver to such Subscription Receiptholder, as soon as reasonably practicable after such record date, an appropriate instrument evidencing such Subscription Receiptholder’s right to receive such additional Underlying Shares, Underlying Warrants or other securities or property upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment and the right to receive any distributions made on such additional Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants or other securities or property declared in favour of holders of record of Common Shares or securities or property on and after the relevant date of exercise or deemed exercise as the case may be, or such later date as such Subscription Receiptholder would, but for the provisions of this Section 7.1(d), have become the holder of record of such additional Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants or other securities or property pursuant to this Section 7.1, provided that if the other securities are not securities of the Corporation, the Corporation will not be liable to any holder should the issuer thereof not pay any distribution declared thereon.

  • (e) In any case in which Section 7.1(c) requires that an adjustment be made to the number of Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts, no such adjustment shall be made if the Subscription Receipt Agent receives the shares, other securities, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property referred to in Section 7.1(c), in such kind and number as Subscription Receiptholders would have received if they had been holders of Underlying Shares or Underlying Warrants, on the applicable record date or effective date, as the case may be, by virtue of their right to be issued Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts. Any such shares, other securities, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property so received by the Subscription Receipt Agent shall be held and distributed by the Subscription Receipt Agent pursuant hereto.

  • (f) The adjustments provided for in this Section 7.1 are cumulative and shall be computed to the nearest two decimal places and will apply to successive subdivisions, redivisions, reductions, combinations, consolidations, distributions, issues or other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this Section 7.1, provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.1, no adjustment of the number of Underlying Shares or Underlying Warrants issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in the number of Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts, provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 7.1(f) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

  • (g) If the Corporation sets a record date to determine the holders of Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or distribution or sets a record date to take any other action and, thereafter and before the distribution to

257606.00143/95220387.5

  • 39 -

such shareholders of any such dividend or distribution or the taking of any other action, legally abandons its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution or take such other action, then no adjustment shall be made to the number of Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts.

  • (h) After any adjustment pursuant to this Section 7.1, the terms “ Common Shares ”, “ Underlying Shares ” and “ Underlying Warrants ” where used in this Agreement shall be interpreted to mean securities of any class or classes which as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 7.1, the Subscription Receiptholder is entitled to receive upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts, and the number of Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants, respectively, to be issued upon the conversion of the Subscription Receipts shall be interpreted to mean the number of Underlying Shares, Underlying Warrants or other property or securities a Subscription Receiptholder is entitled to receive, as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 7.1, upon the full conversion of the Subscription Receipts, as the case may be.

7.2 No Adjustment for Stock Options etc.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 7, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Agreement in respect of the issue of Common Shares pursuant to any stock option or stock purchase plan in force from time to time for officers, Directors or employees of the Corporation or pursuant to any stock option granted or other convertible security issued by the Corporation prior to the date of this Agreement.

7.3 Determination by Corporation’s Auditors

In the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments provided for in this Article 7, such question shall, absent manifest error, be conclusively determined by the Corporation’s auditors, who shall have access to all necessary records of the Corporation, and such determination shall, absent manifest error, be binding upon the Corporation, the Agent, the Subscription Receipt Agent, all Subscription Receiptholders and all other persons interested therein.

7.4 Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment

As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment in the number of Underlying Shares or Underlying Warrants issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts, the Corporation shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of Counsel to the Corporation (acting reasonably), be necessary to ensure that the Corporation has sufficient authorized capital and that the Corporation may validly and legally issue, as fully paid and non-assessable shares, all of the shares which the holders of such Subscription Receipts are entitled to receive on the conversion of the Subscription Receipts, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

7.5 Action Requiring Adjustment

In case the Corporation, after the date hereof, shall take any action affecting the Common Shares, other than the actions described in this Article 7, which, in the opinion of the Directors of the Corporation would materially adversely affect the rights of the Subscription Receiptholders, then the number of Underlying Shares and Underlying Warrants which are to be received upon the conversion of the Subscription Receipts shall be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time as the Directors of the Corporation may, in their discretion, reasonably determine to be equitable to the Subscription Receiptholders in such circumstances.

7.6 Certificate of Adjustment

The Corporation shall, immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in this Article 7, deliver a certificate of the Corporation to the Subscription Receipt Agent specifying the nature of the event requiring such adjustment or readjustment and the amount of the adjustment or readjustment necessitated thereby and setting out in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based, which certificate shall be supported by a certificate of the Corporation’s auditors verifying such calculation.

7.7 Notice of Special Matters

The Corporation covenants with the Subscription Receipt Agent that, so long as any Subscription Receipt remains outstanding, it will give notice to the Subscription Receipt Agent and to the Subscription Receiptholders of its intention to fix the record date for any event referred to in Section 7.1(a), Section 7.1(b) and Section 7.1(c) which may give rise to an adjustment in the number of Underlying Shares or Underlying Warrants issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts. Such notice shall specify the particulars of such event and the record date for such adjustment.

The Subscription Receipt Agent shall not be bound to give any notice or do or take any act, action or proceeding by virtue of the powers conferred on it hereby unless and until it shall have been required so to do under the terms hereof; nor shall the Subscription Receipt Agent be required to take notice of any default hereunder, unless and until notified in writing of such default, which notice shall distinctly specify the default desired to be brought to the attention of the Subscription Receipt Agent and in the absence of any such notice the Subscription Receipt Agent may for all purposes of this Agreement conclusively assume that no default has been made in the observance or performance of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or conditions contained therein. Any such notice shall in no way limit any discretion herein given to the Subscription Receipt Agent to determine whether or not the Subscription Receipt Agent shall take action with respect to any default.

  • (b) No Relief From Liability: No provision of this Agreement will be construed to relieve the Subscription Receipt Agent from liability for its own gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud.

  • (c) Actions: The obligation of the Subscription Receipt Agent to commence or continue any act, action or proceeding in connection herewith, including without limitation, for the purpose of enforcing any right of the Subscription Receipt Agent or the Subscription Receiptholders hereunder is on the condition that the Subscription Receipt Agent shall have received a Subscription Receiptholder’s Request specifying the act, action or proceeding which the Subscription Receipt Agent is requested to take and, when required by notice to the Subscription Receiptholders by the Subscription Receipt Agent, the Subscription Receipt Agent is furnished by one or more Subscription Receiptholders with sufficient funds to commence or continue such act, action or proceeding and an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Subscription Receipt Agent to protect and hold it harmless against the costs, charges, expenses and liabilities to be incurred thereby and any loss and damage it may suffer by reason thereof.

Further, should the Subscription Receipt Agent, in its sole judgment, determine at any time that its acting under this Subscription Receipt Agreement has resulted in its being in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist legislation or economic sanctions legislation, regulation or guideline, then it shall have the right to resign on ten days’ written notice to the Corporation provided (i) that the Subscription Receipt Agent’s written notice shall describe the circumstances of such noncompliance; and (ii) that if such circumstances are rectified to the Subscription Receipt Agent’s satisfaction within such ten-day period, then such resignation shall not be effective.
