  • 19 -

the Warrant Agent confirmation of its intention to exercise Warrants (“ Confirmation ”) in a manner acceptable to the Warrant Agent, including by electronic means through the book entry registration system.

3.4 Effect of Exercise of Warrants

  • (a) Upon compliance by any Warrantholder with the provisions of Section 3.1, the Common Shares in respect of which the Warrants are exercised shall be deemed to have been issued and the Person or Persons to whom such Common Shares are to be issued shall be deemed to have become the Holder or Holders of Common Shares on the Exercise Date unless the transfer registers of the Corporation shall be closed by law on such date, in which case the Common Shares shall be deemed to have been issued and such Person or Persons deemed to have become the Holder or Holders of such Common Shares on the date on which such transfer registers are reopened.

Upon written request by the Corporation, the Warrant Agent shall furnish to the Corporation a certificate identifying the Warrant Certificates so cancelled.

3.7 Fractional Common Shares

A Warrantholder may not exercise a fraction of a Warrant. No certificate representing fractional Common Shares will be issued upon the exercise of any rights of purchase in a Warrant.

ARTICLE 4 ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF COMMON SHARES

4.1 Adjustment of Number of Common Shares

After the date of this Indenture while any Warrants remain outstanding, the rights of acquisition in effect at any date attaching to the Warrants will be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows in this Section.

  • (a) If and whenever at any time from the date hereof and prior to the Time of Expiry, the Corporation shall:

LEGAL_1:66376221.17 298291.00013/111372239.1

  • 22 -

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

  • (ii) reduce, combine or consolidate its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares; or

  • (iii) issue Common Shares (or securities convertible into Common Shares) to holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a share dividend or other distribution of Common Shares or securities exchangeable or convertible into Common Shares;

(any such events in (i), (ii) and (iii) being a “ Common Share Reorganization ”), the Share Rate shall be adjusted immediately after the effective date or record date for the happening of a Common Shares Reorganization so that it equals the product of the Share Rate in effect on such effective date or record date and a fraction of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such event and the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to giving effect to such event. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this subsection 4.1(a) shall occur.

  • (b) If and whenever at any time from the date hereof and prior to the Time of Expiry, there is (i) a reclassification of the Common Shares or a capital reorganization of the Corporation other than as described in subsection 4.1(a), or (ii) a consolidation, arrangement, amalgamation, takeover or merger of the Corporation with or into any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity (other than a consolidation, arrangement, amalgamation, takeover or merger of the Corporation which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding Common Shares), or (iii) a transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or other entity in which Holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive shares, other securities or other property, (any of such events being hereinafter in this Article 4 referred to as a “ Reorganization ”), any Warrantholder who has not exercised its right of acquisition prior to the effective date of such Reorganization shall upon the exercise of such right thereafter, be entitled to receive and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Common Shares then sought to be acquired by it, 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 Reorganization, or to which such sale or conveyance may be made, as the case may be, that such Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive on such Reorganization, if, on the record date or the effective date thereof, as the case may be, the Warrantholder had been the registered Holder of the number of Common Shares sought to be acquired by it, subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with provisions the same, as nearly as may be possible, as those contained in this Article 4. In determining the kind and amount of securities or the property receivable upon exercise of the Warrants following the completion of a Reorganization, if the Holders of Common Shares have the right to elect the kind or amount of consideration receivable upon completion of such Reorganization,

LEGAL_1:66376221.17 298291.00013/111372239.1

then each Warrantholder shall have the right to make a similar election (including, without limitation, being subject to similar proration constraints) upon exercise of the Warrants with respect to the securities or property that the Warrantholder will receive upon exercise of its Warrants.

  • (c) If and whenever the Corporation fixes a record date for the distribution to all or substantially all of the Holders of Common Shares of rights, options or warrants 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 (or having a conversion price or exchange price) that is less than 95% of the Current Market Price on such record date (any such events being a “ Rights Offering ”), the Share Rate will be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it equals the product of the Share Rate in effect on such record date and a fraction, the denominator of which will be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of Common Shares 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; and the numerator of which will 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 exchangeable securities so offered are exchangeable). Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation or any Subsidiary will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.9. Such adjustment will be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that any rights, options or warrants are not so issued or any such rights, options or warrants are not exercised before the expiration thereof, the Share Rate will then be readjusted to the Share Rate which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Share Rate which would then be in effect based upon the number and aggregate price of Common Shares (or securities exchangeable into Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be.

  • (d) If and whenever the Corporation fixes a record date for the making of a dividend or distribution to all or substantially all the Holders of its outstanding Common Shares of:

  • (i) securities of the Corporation or a Subsidiary of the Corporation, including rights, options or warrants to acquire securities of the Corporation or Subsidiary of the Corporation or any of its property or assets and including evidences of indebtedness; or

  • (ii) any property or other assets, including evidences of its indebtedness,

then and in each such case, subject to Section 4.1(e), if such distribution or dividend does not constitute a Common Share Reorganization or a Rights Offering (any of

  • 24 -

  • such non-excluded events being a “ Special Distribution ”), the Share Rate will be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it equals the product of the Share Rate in effect on such record date and a fraction, the denominator of which will be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Market Price on the earlier of such record date and the date on which the Corporation announces its intention to make such a distribution, less the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the Board, which determination will be conclusive, subject to the prior written consent of the TSX) of such units, shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed, and the numerator of which will be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Current Market Price. Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation or any Subsidiary will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.9. If the amount of cash dividend or distribution applicable to one Common Share is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price per Common Share on the determination date referred to above, then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Warrantholder shall have the right to receive, upon exercise, the amount of cash so distributed that such Warrantholder would have received had such Warrantholder converted each Warrant on such determination date referred to above. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Share Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Share Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Such adjustment will be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that such distribution is not so made, the Share Rate will then be readjusted to the Share Rate which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Share Rate which would then be in effect based upon such units, shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets actually distributed, as the case may be.

  • (e) If and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry the Corporation shall fix a record date for the payment of a cash dividend or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares, the Share Rate shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Share Rate in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the Current Market Price on such record date and of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price on such record date minus the incremental increase in cash per Common Share distributed to holders of Common Shares. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that any such cash dividend or distribution is not paid, the Share Rate shall be re-adjusted to the Share Rate which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.

  • (f) With respect to any rights or warrants (the “ Rights ”) that may be issued or distributed pursuant to any rights plan of the Corporation (a “ Rights Plan ”), to the extent that such Rights Plan is in effect at the Exercise Date, the Warrantholders will receive, with respect to the Common Shares issued upon such exercise, the Rights described therein (whether or not the Rights have separated from the

  • 25 -

Common Shares at the time of exercise), subject to the limitations set forth in and in accordance with any such Rights Plan; provided that, if, at the time of exercise, however, the Rights have separated from the Common Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Rights Plan so that Warrantholders would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants as a result of the timing of the Exercise Date, then (unless the Corporation distributes such Rights to the Warrantholders at the time of separation as if each Warrantholder had exercised their Warrants immediately prior to the record date with respect to such distribution) the Share Rate in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for the determination of Shareholders entitled to receive such Rights on separation shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Share Rate in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per Common Share on such record date and of which the denominator shall be Current Market Price per Common Share on such record date less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value and which shall be evidenced by a Certificate of the Corporation delivered to the Warrant Agent) on such record date of the Rights applicable to one Common Share, subject to appropriate readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination, repurchase or redemption of the Rights. Other than as specified in this subsection 4.1(f), there will not be any adjustment to the Share Rate as the result of the issuance of any Rights, the distribution of separate certificates representing such Rights, the exercise or redemption of such Rights in accordance with any Rights Plan or the termination or invalidation of any Rights.

  • (g) If any issuer bid (as defined in subsection 4.1(h)) made by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries for all or any portion of either class of Common Shares expires, then, if the issuer bid shall require the payment to Shareholders of consideration per Common Share having a fair market value (determined as provided below) that exceeds the Closing Price on a Recognized Stock Exchange on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date (the “ Expiration Date ”) deposits could have been made pursuant to such issuer bid (as it may be amended) (the last time at which such tenders could have been made on the Expiration Date is hereinafter sometimes called the “ Expiration Time ”), the applicable Share Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Share Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the sum of (A) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration (the fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value and which shall be evidenced by a Certificate of the Corporation delivered to the Warrant Agent) payable to Shareholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the issuer bid) of all Common Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “ Purchased Shares ”) and (B) the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding (less any Purchased Shares and excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Corporation) at the Expiration Time and the Closing Price per Common Share on the Trading

Day next succeeding the Expiration Date and the denominator of which shall be the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding (including Purchased Shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Corporation) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the Closing Price per Common Share on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, such increase to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the seventh Trading Day following the Expiration Date. In the event that the Corporation is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such issuer bid, but the Corporation is permanently prevented by Applicable Law from effecting any or all such purchases or any or all such purchases are rescinded, the Share Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Share Rate which would have been in effect based upon the number of shares actually purchased, if any. If the application of this subsection 4.1(g) to any issuer bid would result in a decrease in the Share Rate, no adjustment shall be made for such issuer bid under this subsection 4.1(g).

  • (h) For purposes of this Section, the term “ issuer bid ” shall mean and include both issuer bids and exchange offers and excludes any exempt issuer bid carried out in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws, all references to “purchases” of shares in issuer bids (and all similar references) shall mean and include both the purchase of shares in issuer bids and the acquisition of shares pursuant to exchange offers, and all references to “ tendered shares ” (and all similar references) shall mean and include shares tendered in both issuer bids and exchange offers.

  • (i) If, the Corporation shall issue Common Shares (or rights or warrants or other securities exercisable or convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) (collectively, “ Convertible Securities ”) pursuant to a non-public offering (other than in Permitted Transactions (as defined below), or a transaction to which Section 4.1(d)(i) is applicable) without consideration or at a consideration per Common Share (or having a conversion price per Common Share) that is less than 95% of the Current Market Price on the last trading day preceding the date of the agreement on pricing such Common Shares (or such Convertible Securities) (such date of the agreement on pricing, the “ Pricing Date ”) (any such events being a “ Non-Public Offering ”) then, in such event, the Share Rate in effect immediately prior to the Pricing Date shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying such Share Rate by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the sum of (A) the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Pricing Date and (B) the number of additional Common Shares issued (or into which Convertible Securities may be exercised or converted) and of which the denominator shall be the sum of (A) the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Pricing Date and (B) the number of Common Shares which the aggregate consideration receivable by the Corporation for the total number of Common Shares so issued (or into which Convertible Securities may be exercised or converted) would purchase at the Current Market Price on the last Trading Day preceding the Pricing Date, such increase to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the seventh Trading Day following the closing of the Non-Public Offering.

  • 27 -

For purposes of the foregoing, the aggregate consideration receivable by the Corporation in connection with the issuance of such Common Shares or Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be equal to the sum of the offering price (including the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value and which shall be evidenced by a Certificate of the Corporation delivered to the Warrant Agent) of any non-cash consideration and after deduction of any related expenses payable to third parties) of all such securities plus the minimum aggregate amount, if any, payable upon exercise or conversion of any such Convertible Securities into Common Shares; and “ Permitted Transactions ” shall mean issuances (i) in a merger or consolidation transaction, (ii) in connection with employee benefit plans and compensation related arrangements in the ordinary course and consistent with past practice approved by the Board, or (iii) in connection with a public or broadly marketed offering and sale of Common Shares, securities convertible into Common Shares or rights or warrants entitling the holder to purchase Common Shares for cash, conducted on a basis consistent with offerings by public companies of similar size in their own capital raising transactions. Such adjustments shall be made successively for whatever Common Shares are issued (or into which Convertible Securities may be exercised or converted).

  • (j) The adjustments provided for in this Article 4 in the number of Common Shares and classes of securities which are to be received on the exercise of Warrants are cumulative and will be computed to the nearest one-hundredth of a Common Share. After any adjustment pursuant to this Section, the term “ Common Shares ” where used in this Indenture shall be interpreted to mean Common Shares or securities of any class or classes or property that, as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this Section, the Warrantholder is entitled to receive upon the exercise of its Warrant, and the number of Common Shares indicated by any exercise made pursuant to a Warrant shall be interpreted to mean the number of Common Shares or other property or securities that a Warrantholder is entitled to receive, as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 4.1, upon the exercise of a Warrant. Provided that, notwithstanding any other provision for this Section, no adjustment of the Share Rate will be required:

  • (i) unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Share Rate then in effect (provided, however, that any adjustment which by reason of this subsection is not required to be made will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment);

  • (ii) if, in respect of any event described in this Section (other than the events referred to in clauses 4.1(a)(i) and 4.1(a)(iii)), the Holders of Warrants are entitled to participate in such event on the same terms (subject to receipt of any approval required by the TSX), with the necessary changes, as if the Warrants had been exercised prior to or on the effective date of or record date for such event;

LEGAL_1:66376221.17 298291.00013/111372239.1

  • 28 -

  • (iii) in respect of any Common Shares issuable or issued pursuant to any stock option or stock purchase plan in force from time to time for Directors, officers or employees of the Corporation or of Subsidiaries of the Corporation; or

  • (iv) in respect of any Common Shares issuable or issued pursuant to the Warrants.

  • (k) For purposes of this Section 4.1, “ record date ” shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the Holders of Common Shares have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Common Shares (or other applicable security) is exchanged or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of Shareholders entitled to receive such cash, security or other property (whether or not such date is fixed by the Board or by statute, contract or otherwise).

  • (l) If one or more events occur requiring an adjustment be made to the Share Rate for a particular period, adjustments to the Share Rate shall be determined by the Board to reflect the combined impact of such Share Rate adjustment events, as set out in this Section 4.1, during such period.

  • (m) If the Corporation sets a record date to determine the Shareholders for the purpose of entitling them to receive any distribution or sets a record date to take any other action and thereafter and before the distribution to such Shareholders of any such distribution or the taking of any other action, legally abandons its plan to pay or deliver such distribution or take such other action, then no adjustment in the Share Rate shall be made.

  • (n) In the absence of a resolution of the Board fixing a record date for a Special Distribution or Rights Offering, the Corporation will be deemed to have fixed as the record date therefor the date on which the Special Distribution or Rights Offering is effected.

  • (o) If the Corporation, after the date hereof, shall take any action affecting any Common Shares, other than an action described in this Section 4.1, which in the opinion of the Directors, acting reasonably, would materially affect the rights of Warrantholders, the Share Rate shall be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the Directors, acting reasonably, may determine to be equitable in the circumstances, provided that no such adjustment will be made unless any requisite prior approval of any stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed for trading has been obtained. Failure of the taking of action by the Directors so as to provide for an adjustment in the Share Rate prior to the effective date of any action by the Corporation affecting the Common Shares shall be conclusive evidence that the Directors have determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances.

  • 29 -

  • (p) As a condition precedent to the taking of any action that would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.1, the Corporation shall take any action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory, TSX or Shareholder approvals or exemptions, in order that the Corporation may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all Common Shares that the Warrantholder is entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 4.1.

  • (q) Where any adjustment is made to the Share Rate pursuant to this Section 4.1, a corresponding adjustment shall be made to the Exercise Price by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Share Rate in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator shall be the Share Rate in effect immediately following such adjustment.

4.2 Entitlement to Common Shares on Exercise of Warrant

All Common Shares of which a Warrantholder is at the time in question entitled to receive on the exercise of its Warrants, whether or not as a result of adjustments made pursuant to this Article 4, shall, for the purposes of the interpretation of this Indenture, be deemed to be Common Shares which such Warrantholder is entitled to acquire pursuant to such Warrants.

4.3 Determination by Independent Investment Banking Firm

In the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments provided for in this Article 4, such question shall be conclusively determined by such nationally recognized independent investment banking firm as may be selected by the Board in its sole discretion, acting reasonably, who shall have access to all necessary records of the Corporation, and such determination, absent manifest error, shall be binding upon the Corporation, the Warrant Agent, all Warrantholders and all other Persons interested therein. If any such determination is made, the Corporation will deliver a Certificate of the Corporation to the Warrant Agent describing such determination.

4.4 Proceedings Prior to any Action Requiring Adjustment

As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment in any of the acquisition rights pursuant to any of the Warrants, including the number of Common Shares which are to be received upon the exercise thereof, the Corporation shall take any action which may, in the Opinion of Counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation has unissued and reserved in its authorized capital and may validly and legally issue, as fully paid and non-assessable, all the Common Shares and other securities or property which the Holders of such Warrants are entitled to receive on the full exercise thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof.

4.5 Certificate of Adjustment

The Corporation shall from time to time within 14 days after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided for in Section 4.1, deliver a Certificate of the Corporation to the Warrant Agent specifying the nature of the event requiring

LEGAL_1:66376221.17 298291.00013/111372239.1

  • 30 -

the same and the amount of the adjustment necessitated thereby and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based, which certificate and the amount of the adjustment or readjustment specified therein shall be verified by the Corporation’s auditors or independent investment banking firm upon whose verification the Warrant Agent shall be entitled to act and rely and shall be protected in so acting and relying. When so verified, the Warrant Agent shall forthwith give written notice to the Warrantholders specifying the event requiring such adjustment or readjustment and the results thereof. Such form of written notice shall be provided by the Corporation to the Warrant Agent.

4.6 Applicability

If, in the opinion of the Directors, acting reasonably, the provisions of this Article 4 are not strictly applicable, or if strictly applicable, would not fairly protect the rights of the Warrantholders, in the event the Corporation takes any action affecting the Common Shares issuable on the exercise of the Warrants, in accordance with the intent and purposes of this Indenture, the Directors will, subject to the prior approval, if required, of any applicable stock exchange or regulatory authority, make any adjustment in such provisions as the Directors deem appropriate.

4.7 Notice of Special Matters

  • (a) The Corporation covenants with the Warrant Agent that, so long as any Warrant remains outstanding, it will give notice to the Warrant Agent and to the Warrantholders of its intention to fix the record date for the issuance of rights, options, distributions or warrants (other than the Warrants) to all or substantially all the Holders of its outstanding Common Shares. Such notice shall specify the particulars of such event and the record date for such event and the required adjustment (and in the case of notice to the Warrant Agent, the computation of such adjustment); provided that the Corporation shall only be required to specify in the notice such particulars of the event as shall have been fixed and determined on the date on which the notice is given. The notice shall be given in each case not less than 14 days prior to such applicable record date.

  • (b) In case any adjustment for which a notice in subsection 4.7(a) has been given is not then determinable, the Corporation shall promptly after such adjustment is determinable (i) file a Certificate of the Corporation with the Warrant Agent evidencing a computation of such adjustment; and (ii) give notice to the Warrantholders of the adjustment.

  • (c) Once a notice pursuant to this Section 4.7 has been given, the Warrant Agent shall be entitled to rely absolutely and shall be protected in so relying on any adjustment calculation of the Corporation or the independent investment banking firm referred to in Section 4.3.

4.8 No Action after Notice

The Corporation covenants with the Warrant Agent that it will not close its transfer books or take any other action which might deprive the Holder of a Warrant of the opportunity to

LEGAL_1:66376221.17 298291.00013/111372239.1

  • 31 -

exercise its right of acquisition pursuant thereto during the period of 14 days after the giving of the notice set forth in Section 4.7.

4.9 Protection of Warrant Agent

Except as provided in Article 9, the Warrant Agent shall not:

  • (a) at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Warrantholder to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment contemplated by Section 4.1, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed in making the same;

  • (b) be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Common Shares, or other securities or property which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exercise of the rights attaching to any Warrant;

  • (c) be responsible for any failure of the Corporation to issue, transfer or deliver Common Shares, or certificates for the same, upon the surrender of any Warrants for the purpose of the exercise of such rights or to comply with any of the covenants contained in this Article 4; and

  • (d) incur any liability or responsibility whatsoever or be in any way responsible for the consequences of any breach on the part of the Corporation of any of the representations, warranties or covenants herein contained or of any acts of the agents or servants of the Corporation.

Such notice shall state the time when and the place where the meeting is to be held, shall state briefly the general nature of the business to be transacted thereat and shall contain such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Warrantholders to make a reasoned decision on the matter, but it shall not be necessary for any such notice to set out the terms of any resolution, other than an Extraordinary Resolution, to be proposed or any of the provisions of this Article 7.

The Warrant Agent shall not be required to grant any lien or give any bonds or security for its conduct or administration under this Indenture.

9.10 Resignation or Removal of Warrant Agent; Conflict of Interest

  • (a) The Warrant Agent represents and warrants to the Corporation that, to the best of its knowledge, at the time of the execution and delivery of this Indenture no material conflict of interest exists with respect to the Warrant Agent’s role as a fiduciary hereunder. The Warrant Agent will use its best efforts to ensure that this representation remains true so long as the Warrant Agent remains the Warrant Agent under this Indenture.

  • (b) The Warrant Agent may resign as warrant agent hereunder by giving not less than 60 days notice in writing to the Corporation on the date of such resignation or such shorter notice to the Corporation as the Corporation, in its sole and unfettered discretion, may accept as sufficient. The Warrant Agent shall resign if a material conflict of interest arises with respect to its role as Warrant Agent under this Indenture that is not eliminated within 90 days after the Warrant Agent becomes aware of such conflict of interest. Immediately after the Warrant Agent becomes aware that it has a material conflict of interest it shall provide the Corporation with written notice of the nature of that conflict. Upon any such resignation, the Warrant Agent shall be discharged from all further duties and liabilities under this Indenture. None of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture or the Warrants shall be affected in any manner whatsoever by reason only of the existence of a material conflict of interest on the part of the Warrant Agent (whether arising prior to or after the date of this Indenture). If the Warrant Agent does not comply with this Section, any Holder or the Corporation may apply to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice sitting in Toronto for an order that the Warrant Agent be replaced as warrant agent under this Indenture.

  • (c) In the event of the Warrant Agent resigning, being replaced as Warrant Agent under this Indenture by order of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, or being removed by the Holders by Extraordinary Resolution or by the Corporation or being dissolved, becoming insolvent or bankrupt, going into liquidation or otherwise becoming incapable of acting as Warrant Agent under this Indenture, the Corporation shall immediately appoint a successor Warrant Agent unless a successor Warrant Agent has already been appointed by the Holders; failing such

LEGAL_1:66376221.17 298291.00013/111372239.1

  • 46 -

appointment by the Corporation, the retiring Warrant Agent or any other Holder may apply to a judge of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice sitting in Toronto (at the expense of the Corporation), on such notice as such judge may direct, for the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent. The successor Warrant Agent so appointed by the Corporation or by such court shall be subject to removal by the Holders by way of an Act of Holders. Any successor Warrant Agent appointed under any provision of this Section shall be a corporation authorized to carry on the business of a trust company in Canada. On any appointment of the successor Warrant Agent, the successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named in this Indenture as Warrant Agent. The expenses of all acts, documents and Proceedings required under this Section will be paid by the Corporation in the same manner as if the amount thereof were fees payable to the Warrant Agent under this Indenture.

  • (d) Any successor Warrant Agent shall, immediately upon appointment, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of its predecessor in the trusts under this Indenture, with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder.

Any capitalized term in this Warrant Certificate that is not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Warrant Indenture.

This certificate may be transferred, upon compliance with the conditions prescribed in this certificate and in the Warrant Indenture and return to the Corporation and the Warrant Agent of a duly executed Transfer Form found at Schedule “1” hereof, only on the register of transfers to be kept at the offices of the Warrant Agent in the city of Toronto, Ontario and at such other place or places, if any, or by such other registrar or registrars, if any, as the Corporation may designate, by the Registered Holder hereof or his executors or administrators or other legal representatives or his or their attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and execution satisfactory to the Corporation and upon compliance with such reasonable requirements as the Warrant Agent or other registrar may prescribe.

EXERCISE AND TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION

Each Warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one Class A Variable Voting Share, if the holder is non-Canadian or one Class B Voting Share, if the holder is Canadian (each, a “ Common Share ”) at the exercise price of $6.20 per Common Share (the “ Exercise Price ”). The Warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on April 6, 2022 (the “ Expiry Date ”). Holders who exercise the Warrants will become holders of Common Shares issued through the exercise of Warrants. WARRANTS NOT EXERCISED PRIOR TO 5:00 P.M. (TORONTO TIME) ON THE EXPIRY DATE WILL BE VOID AND OF NO VALUE. In the case of a beneficial owner of Warrants who is not a Registered Holder, such subscriber may subscribe for the resulting whole number of Common Shares by instructing the CDS Participant holding the subscriber’s Warrants to exercise all or a specified number of such Warrants and forwarding the Exercise Price for each Common Share subscribed for in accordance with the terms of the Warrants to the CDS Participant that holds the subscriber’s Warrants.

Holders who wish to exercise their Warrants must return to the Corporation and the Warrant Agent a duly executed Exercise Form found at Schedule “2” hereof. The Exercise Price is payable in Canadian funds by certified cheque, bank draft, money order or wire transfer payable to the order of the Corporation (as set out in Section 3.1 of the Warrant Indenture). The entire Exercise Price for Common Shares subscribed for must be paid at the time of subscription and must be received by the Warrant Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Expiry Date and shall be accompanied by a Warrant Certificate, if any, duly endorsed by the Registered Holder. Accordingly, a beneficial owner subscribing through a CDS Participant must deliver its payment and instructions sufficiently in advance of the Expiry Date to allow the Warrants to be properly exercised.

The subscription rights in effect under the Warrants for Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided for in Article 4 of the Warrant Indenture.
