(1) Borrower has authorized the offer, issuance and sale of Warrants to purchase 8,000,000 shares of common stock of the Borrower to the Agent, which entitle the Agent to acquire common stock of the Borrower at an exercise price per share of common stock (each, a “Warrant Share”) not lower than the price at which the Borrower received any price protection from the Canadian Securities Exchange, or the closing market price of the Borrower’s shares of common stock on the Canadian Securities Exchange on the trading day prior to the earlier of (i) dissemination of a news release disclosing the issuance of the Warrants or the posting of a notice of the proposed issuance of the Warrants, in the form and subject to the terms and conditions of the Warrant, provided a Warrant in the form attached hereto as Exhbit D-1 and a separate Warrant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-2 shall be issued to the Agent on the Closing Date, with the Warrant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-2 being held in escrow by the Borrower and released to the Agent on the Delayed Draw Effective Date, or cancelled if the Borrower does not request the Delayed Draw Term Loan by December 1, 2021. The Warrant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-2 is not exercisable by the Agent until it is released from escrow to the Agent. The offer and sale of the Warrants to the Agent is subject to there being an exemption from the prospectus requirements under applicable Canadian securities laws as well as there being an exemption from the registration requirements under the U.S. Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws. The Agent understands and acknowledges that it must complete, execute and deliver to the Borrower a U.S. representation letter (the “U.S. Representation Letter”) in the form provided by the Borrower to the Agent and such additional documents and instruments as the Borrower may reasonably require in order to ensure that the Agent is a U.S. “accredited investor” as such term is defined under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the U.S., Securities Act and also satisfies certain exempt purchaser status requirements under applicable Canadian securities laws, as applicable.

 

 
19
 

 

(2) The Agent understands, acknowledges, represents and warrants to the Borrower that:

 

(A) The certificates representing the Warrants will bear such legends as required by applicable securities laws, the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange and as further set out in the U.S. Representation Letter and the certificates representing the Warrants;

 

(B) The Warrant Certificate representing the Warrants will bear such legends as required by applicable securities laws, the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange and as further set out in the U.S. Representation Letter and the Warrant Certificate;

 

(C) The Agent is knowledgeable of, or has been independently advised as to, the applicable securities laws of that jurisdiction which apply to the issuance and sale of the Warrants, and which may impose restrictions on the resale of such Warrants and the underlying Warrant Shares in that jurisdiction and it is the responsibility of the Agent to find out what those resale restrictions are, and to comply with them before selling the Warrants or any Warrant Shares;

 

(D) The Warrants and the Warrant Shares have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States and that the Warrants and any Warrant Shares may not be offered or sold in the United States or to or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person (as such term is defined under Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) or a person in the United States without registration under the U.S. Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or in compliance with the requirements of an exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws;

 

(E) The Agent understands that the offer and sale of the Warrants by the Borrower to the Agent is being made in reliance on available exemptions from such registration requirements provided by Rule 506(b) of Regulation D or Section 4(a)(2) of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws; and

 

(F) The Agent is familiar with the resale limitations imposed thereby and the U.S. Securities Act or has been independently advised of such resale limitations by an investment advisor or legal counsel.

 

SECTION 2.2. Origination Discount. Borrower acknowledges that the Term Loan will be funded with a non-refundable discount (the “Origination Discount”) of ten percent (10%) of the Face Amount, inclusive of all finally allocated commitments whether or not funded on the date hereof. The Origination Discount shall be reflected as a dollar for dollar reduction in the advance of the Term Loan on the Closing Date and the Delayed Draw Effective Date to Borrower, as applicable. The parties intend that the Origination Discount shall be treated as consideration for the use or forbearance of money. Borrower and Lenders acknowledge that the Origination Discount will constitute original issue discount (as that term is used in Section 1273(a) of the Code) solely for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes and, as such, is not being advanced to Borrower.

SECTION 2.3. Interest. The Term Loan shall bear interest from and including the Closing Date, at the Interest Rate. Borrower promises to pay interest on the Principal Balance in cash in arrears on each Payment Date with respect thereto, as set forth in Section 3.1(a) below. Automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default described in Section 9.1(h), or, at the election of Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default described in Section 9.1, (which election may be made retroactively to the date of the applicable Default), the Term Loan shall bear interest from the Event of Default, at the Default Rate on the then current Principal Balance and shall be paid in cash on each Payment Date.

 

All computations of interest hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of the actual number of days elapsed of a year of 360 days and (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.

SECTION 3.3. Taxes.

 

(a) Any and all payments by Borrower under the Term Loan shall be made, in accordance with Section 3.1, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto (“Taxes”), excluding, (i) Taxes imposed on Lenders’ income, and franchise Taxes imposed on Lenders, as a result of any such Lender being organized under the laws of, engaging in business in, or having its principal office or, in the case of any Lender, its applicable lending office located in, the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (or any political subdivision thereof), (ii) U.S. withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of the Lenders with respect to the Term Loan pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which such Lender acquires its interest in the Term Loan and (iii) Taxes attributable to the relevant recipient’s failure to comply with Section 3.3(c). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any such amounts from or in respect of any sum payable under the Term Loan to the Lenders, (A) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.3) the Lenders receive an amount equal to the sum they would have received had no such deductions been made, (B) Borrower shall make such deductions and (C) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Requirements of Law. Borrower further agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary Taxes or any other excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made on the Term Loan or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the Note or any other Loan Document.

 

 
23
 

 

(b) Borrower will indemnify the Agent and Lenders for the full amounts for which additional amounts are payable pursuant to Section 3.3(a) (including, without limitation, any such amounts imposed by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable under this Section 3.3) paid by the Lenders and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such amounts were correctly or legally asserted.

 

(c) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent as will enable Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

 

(d) If any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.3 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.3) or that such Taxes have been credited against any taxes that the Lender otherwise would have been required to pay in cash it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund or credit, net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, shall repay to such Lender the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (d) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Lender is required to repay such refund or credit to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (d), in no event will any Lender be required to pay any amount to Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (d) the payment of which would place the Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund or credit had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

 

Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the parties contained in this Section 3.3 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest on the Term Loan.

Except as set forth in Schedule 6.7, as of the date hereof Borrower and no Subsidiary of Borrower (a) has any Subsidiaries, or (b) is engaged in any joint venture or partnership with any other Person. All equity interests of Borrower and its Subsidiaries are duly and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable, and are owned by Borrower, directly or indirectly, through wholly-owned Subsidiaries. The Pledged Shares under the Pledge Agreement consistute sufficient voting interest to control each such entity. Each Loan Party is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the equity interests pledged by (or purported to be pledged by) it under the Pledge Agreement, free of any and all Liens, rights or claims of other persons and, as of the date hereof, there are no outstanding warrants, options or other rights (including derivatives) to purchase, or shareholder, voting trust or similar agreements outstanding with respect to, or property that is convertible into, or that requires the issuance or sale of, any such equity interests (or any economic or voting interests therein).

 

SECTION 6.8. Investment Company Act. No Loan Party is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

SECTION 6.9. No Material Misstatements.

 

(a) Borrower has disclosed to the Agent and the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. At the time furnished, the reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished (whether in writing or orally) (other than forecasts and other forward-looking information, budgets, estimates and information of a general economic or industry-specific nature) by, or on behalf of Borrower or any other Loan Party to the Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) are complete and correct in all material respects and do not contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading.

 

(b) The Projections have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the Loan Party to be reasonable at the time made and at the time furnished (it being recognized that such Projections are not to be viewed as facts and that no assurance can be given that any particular financial projections (including the Projections) will be realized, that actual results may differ significantly from projected results and that such Projections are not a guarantee of performance).

 

 
32
 

 

SECTION 6.10. Labor Matters.

 

(a) There are no strikes, lockouts, stoppages or slowdowns or other material labor disputes affecting, pending or threatening any Loan Party.

 

(b) The Term Loan will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which any Loan Party is bound.

 

(c) All payments due from any Loan Party, or for which any claim may be made against any Loan Party, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of such Loan Party except to the extent that the failure to do so has not had, and could not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(d) The hours worked by and payments made to employees of any Loan Party have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended.

 

SECTION 6.11. ERISA. Each Plan and, with respect to each Plan, Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates are in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. Each Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS indicating that such Plan is so qualified and nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which would cause such Plan to lose its qualified status. No liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the IRS, any Plan (other than in the ordinary course) or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates with respect to any Plan. No ERISA Event has occurred or could reasonably be expected to occur. The present value of all accrued benefit obligations under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Single Employer Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Single Employer Plan allocable to such accrued benefit obligations by a material amount. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan, the potential liability of Borrower and each of its ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 or Section 4205 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, is zero. Borrower and each of its ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan. Neither Borrower nor any of its ERISA Affiliates contributes to, or has any liability with respect to, any Multiemployer Plan or has any contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement welfare benefit under a Plan that is subject to ERISA, other than liability for continuation coverage described in Part 6 of Title I of ERISA. Neither Borrower nor any of its ERISA Affiliates maintains or contributes to any employee benefit plan that is subject to the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States of America.

No Loan Party (i) has received notice from any insurer or agent of such insurer that substantial capital improvements or other material expenditures will have to be made in order to continue such insurance or (ii) has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers.

 

SECTION 6.14. Security Documents. The Security Agreement, Pledge Agreement, and Mortgage (if any) are effective to create in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a legal, valid, binding and enforceable security interest in and pledge of the Collateral described therein and proceeds and products thereof. In the case of (i) pledged equity interests represented by certificates, if any, (x) when such certificates are delivered to the Agent or (y) when financing statements in appropriate form are filed, and (ii) the other Collateral described in the Security Agreement, when financing statements in appropriate form are filed, the Lien created by the Security Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Party in such Collateral and the proceeds and products thereof, as security for the Obligations, in each case, prior and superior in right to any other Person (except, with respect to priority only, Permitted Liens).

 

SECTION 6.15. PATRIOT Act, etc. To the extent applicable, each Loan Party is in compliance, in all material respects, with (i) the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, and (ii) the PATRIOT Act. No part of the proceeds of the Term Loan will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payment to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

Any occurrence of any loss, theft, substantial damage or destruction of any item or items of assets of any Loan Party comprising Collateral (a “Loss”), to the extent the amount of such Loss not fully covered by insurance (including any deductible in connection therewith), together with the amount of all other Losses not fully covered by insurance (including any deductible in connection therewith) occurring in the same Fiscal Year, exceeds $500,000;

 

Then, and in any such event, the Agent may exercise its rights set forth in Section 9.2 hereof; provided however, that in the case of any Default pursuant to Subsection (h) of this Section 9.1, all such interest and all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

 

 
53
 

 

SECTION 9.2. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Agent may declare the Principal Balance and all other Obligations or amounts payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including any premium owed pursuant to Section 3.2) to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Obligations, all such interest and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower and all interest on and principal of all other Debt owed by Borrower to the Lender shall likewise become and be forthwith due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower. Further, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent, acting on behalf of the Lenders, will have immediate rights to (i) foreclose on the Collateral and Pledged Shares without any approval or additional action of any Loan Party; (ii) enforce each of the guaranties made by the Loan Parties hereunder; (iii) enforce its rights for a Third Party Sale including but not limited to assigning certain leases and Material Contracts; (iv) seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of its remedies, with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment; and (v) exercise any and all of its other rights and remedies under applicable law, hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Borrower hereby waives any right to challenge or object to the forgoing and shall cause Borrower and its Subsidiaries to cooperate with Agent and promptly provide such documentation, access, and other assistance as Agent may request in order to effectuate the foregoing or enforce its rights hereunder.

 

ARTICLE X.

 

GUARANTY

 

SECTION 10.1. The Guaranty. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantee, as a primary obligor and not as a surety to Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and permitted assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest on the Term Loan made by the Lenders to, and the Notes, if any, held by each Lender of, the Borrower, and all other Obligations from time to time owing to the Agent and Lenders by any Loan Party under any Loan Document, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that if the Borrower or other Guarantor(s) shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

 

 
54
 

 

To the extent that any Guarantor shall make a payment under this Section 10.1 of all or any of the Obligations (other than Obligations related to Term Loan and other extensions of credit made directly or indirectly to that Guarantor, or on such Guarantor’s behalf, in which case such Guarantor shall be primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Guarantor, exceeds the amount that such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if each Guarantor had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Guarantor’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Guarantors as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments, such Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.

 

As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Guarantor shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Guarantor under this Section 10.1 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.

 

This Section 10.1 is intended only to define the relative rights of Guarantors and nothing set forth in this Section 10.1 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 10.1 shall limit the liability of any Guarantor to pay the Term Loan made directly or indirectly to that Guarantor, or on such Guarantor’s behalf, and accrued interest, fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Guarantor shall be primarily liable.

 

SECTION 10.2. Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 10.1 shall constitute a guaranty of payment and to the fullest extent permitted by Requirements of Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or Guarantor (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by Requirements of Law it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:

 

(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

 

 
55
 

 

(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

 

(c) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; or

 

(d) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, any Lender or Agent as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected.

 

SECTION 10.3. Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by law and agrees not to assert any defense (other than defense of payment in full), whether arising in connection with or in respect of any of the following or otherwise, and hereby agrees that its obligations under this Article X are irrevocable, absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged as a result of or otherwise affected by any of the following (which may not be pleaded and evidence of which may not be introduced in any proceeding with respect to this Article X, in each case except as otherwise agreed in writing by Agent): (a) the invalidity or unenforceability of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Guarantor under any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (including any amendment, consent or waiver thereto), or any security for, or other guaranty of, any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (b) the absence of (i) any attempt to collect any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof from any Guarantor or other action to enforce the same or (ii) any action to enforce any Loan Document or any Lien thereunder; (c) the failure by any Person to take any steps to perfect and maintain any Lien on, or to preserve any rights with respect to, any Collateral; (d) any workout, insolvency, bankruptcy proceeding, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation or dissolution by or against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any of the Borrower’s other Subsidiaries or any procedure, agreement, order, stipulation, election, action or omission thereunder, including any discharge or disallowance of, or bar or stay against collecting, any Guaranteed Obligation (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding; (e) any foreclosure, whether or not through judicial sale, and any other sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any election following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default by any Lender to proceed separately against any Collateral in accordance with such Lender’s rights under any applicable Requirement of Law; or (f) any other defense (other than payment), setoff, counterclaim or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Subsidiary of the Borrower, in each case other than payment in full.

 

 
56
 

 

SECTION 10.4. Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and agrees not to assert any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim based on diligence, promptness, presentment, requirements for any demand or notice hereunder including any of the following: (a) any demand for payment or performance and protest and notice of protest; (b) any notice of acceptance; (c) any presentment, demand, protest or further notice or other requirements of any kind with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation (including any accrued but unpaid interest thereon) becoming immediately due and payable; (d) appointment of a receiver or keeper by the Agent to take possession of Collateral and to enforce its remedies (including the identity of such receiver); and (e) any other notice in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, and any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any other Guarantor, other than the defense of payment in full. Each Guarantor further unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to (x) enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation or any right of reimbursement or contribution or similar right against the Borrower or any other Guarantor by reason of any Loan Document or any payment made thereunder or (y) assert any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim it may have against any other Loan Party or set off any of its obligations to such other Loan Party against obligations of such Loan Party to such Guarantor until payment in full. No obligation of any Guarantor hereunder shall be discharged other than by payment in full or complete performance. Each Guarantor further waives any right such Guarantor may have under any applicable Requirement of Law to require any Lender to seek recourse first against any Loan Party or any other Person, or to realize upon any Collateral for any of the Obligations, as a condition precedent to enforcing such Guarantor’s liability and obligations under this Article X.

 

SECTION 10.5. Reliance. Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower, each other Guarantor and any other guarantor, maker or endorser of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof that diligent inquiry would reveal, and each Guarantor hereby agrees that Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances.

 

SECTION 10.6. Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article X shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of Borrower or other Loan Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or turned over by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Loan Party.

 

SECTION 10.7. Subrogation; Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (other than inchoate or contingent or reimbursable obligations for which no claim has been asserted) and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee hereunder, whether by subrogation, contribution, reimbursement or otherwise, against the Borrower or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

 
57
 

 

SECTION 10.8. Remedies. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the Note, if any, may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 9) for purposes of Section 10.1, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 10.1. If Agent or any Lender may, under Requirements of Law, proceed to realize its benefits under any of the Loan Documents, Agent or any Lender may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Section 10.8. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against the Borrower or any other Person, whether because of any Requirements of Law pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Guarantor hereby consents to such action by Agent or such Lender and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Agent or such Lender shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that each Guarantor might otherwise have had but for such action by Agent or such Lender. Any election of remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Guarantor shall not impair any other Guarantor’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations.

 

SECTION 10.9. Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article X constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under the Requirements of Law of the State of Nevada or any other state in which the Borrower or any Subsidiary operates.

 

SECTION 10.10. Continuing Guaranty. The guaranty in this Article X is a continuing guaranty of payment and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

 

SECTION 10.11. General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 10.1 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 10.1, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

All representations and warranties in each Loan Document shall survive the delivery of the Note and the making of the Term Loan, and shall continue after the repayment of the Note and the Maturity Date until all Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full, and any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of the Agent shall not diminish the Lenders’ right to rely thereon.

SECTION 11.7. Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Debt at any time owing by the Lenders to or for the credit or the account of Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document, whether or not the Agent or Lenders shall have made any demand under the Note and although such obligations may be unmatured. The Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, agrees to promptly notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lenders, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Lenders under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such Lenders may have.

 

 
60
 

 

SECTION 11.8. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Borrower and the Lenders and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither Borrower nor the Lenders (except as provided in Section 11.9) shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the other.

 

SECTION 11.9. Assignments and Participations.

 

(a) Generally. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party and Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that none of the Borrower may assign or transfer any of their rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Agent and any such assignment without Agent's prior written consent shall be null and void. Each Lender may assign to one or more other lenders or other entities all or a portion of the Term Loan held by it with Agent’s consent.

 

(b) The lender party to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent, an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of Exhibit A, via an electronic settlement system acceptable to Agent (or, if previously agreed with Agent, manually), and, shall pay to Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,000 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of Agent).

 

(c) Participations. Any Lender may at any time grant to any Person participating interests in its Commitment or the obligations owing to such Lender hereunder (a “Participant”). No Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided however, such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Term Loan or a portion thereof owing to such Lender, or (iii) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each Participant’s interest in the Term Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”) and any attempted sale of a participation that is not recorded in accordance with this Section 11.9(c) shall be null and void; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

 

 
61
 

 

(d) Information to Assignee, Etc. A Lender may furnish any information concerning the Property and its operations, Borrower, or Guarantors in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and Participants (including prospective assignees and any Related Party thereof); provided, however, that the Lender may not disclose or disseminate Borrower’s financial statements (or extracts thereof or information contained in such financial statements) to any other Person or entity outside of such Lender’s organization (other than to any Related Party) without the prior written consent of Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). In connection with such negotiation, execution and delivery, Borrower authorizes the Agent and Lenders to communicate all information and documentation related to the Term Loan (whether to Borrower or to any assignee, legal counsel, appraiser or other necessary party) directly by e-mail, fax, or other electronic means used to transmit information.

 

(e) Cooperation; Costs and Expenses. In connection with any such sale, syndication, assignment or participation, Borrower further agrees that it shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses in connection with such transaction and that the Loan Documents and other related documents shall be sufficient evidence of the obligations of Borrower to each purchaser, assignee or participant and upon written request by the Agent, Borrower shall enter into such amendments or modifications to the Loan Documents and other related documents as may be reasonably necessary or desirable in order to evidence any such sale, syndication, assignment or participation.

 

(f) Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary Agent of Borrower, shall maintain at its principal office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

SECTION 11.10. Limitation on Agreements. All agreements between Borrower or the Agent or the Lenders, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of demand being made in respect of an amount due under any Loan Document or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to the Lenders for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money to be loaned under the Note or any other Loan Document or otherwise or for the payment or performance of any covenant or obligation contained herein or in any other Loan Document exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If, as a result of any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of or compliance with any provision hereof or of any of such documents at the time performance of such provision shall be due or at any other time shall involve exceeding the amount permitted to be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by the Lenders under applicable usury or similar law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled or complied with shall be reduced (firstly by reducing the stated interest rate and thereafter, if and to the extent required, by reducing any other amount comprising interest) to the limit prescribed by such applicable usury or similar law, and if, from any such circumstance, the Lenders shall ever receive interest or anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law which would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of the Note or the amounts owing on other obligations of Borrower to the Lenders under any Loan Document and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of the Note and the amounts owing on other obligations of Borrower to the Lenders under any Loan Document, as the case may be, such excess shall be refunded to Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the use, forbearance, or detention of the indebtedness of Borrower to the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full of the principal (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest on account of such indebtedness shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is understood and agreed that if at any time the rate of interest which accrues on the outstanding principal balance of the Note shall exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, the rate of interest which accrues on the outstanding principal balance of the Note shall be limited to the Highest Lawful Rate, but any subsequent reductions in the rate of interest which accrues on the outstanding principal balance of the Note shall not reduce the rate of interest which accrues on the outstanding principal balance of such Note below the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Note, taken in the aggregate, equals the amount of interest which would have accrued if such interest rate had at all times been in effect and not been reduced. In the event that any rate of interest under the Note or any Loan Document is reduced due to the effect of this Section 11.10 and there is a subsequent increase in the Highest Lawful Rate, such interest rate shall, automatically without any action of Borrower or Lenders, be increased to the then applicable Highest Lawful Rate. The terms and provisions of this Section 11.10 shall control and supersede every other provision of all Loan Documents.

 

SECTION 11.11. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in any Loan Document to which Borrower is a party or in any instrument contemplated thereby, or any application thereof, shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained therein, and any other application thereof, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

ARTICLE XII.

 

RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF AGENT.

 

SECTION 12.1. Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints FG Agency Lending LLC to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article XII are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and neither Borrower nor any other party to this Agreement shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

 

SECTION 12.2. Agent. (i) is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders (except to the limited extent provided in Section 11.9(f) with respect to the Register), with duties that are entirely administrative in nature, notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Agent”, “agent”, and similar terms in any Loan Document to refer to Agent, which terms are used for title purposes only, (ii) is not assuming and shall not have any actual or implied obligations, functions, responsibilities, duties, under any Loan Document other than as expressly set forth therein or any role as agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender or any other Person, and each Lender, by accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, hereby waives and agrees not to assert any claim against Agent based on the roles, duties and legal relationships expressly disclaimed in clauses (i) and (ii) above.

 

 
65
 

 

SECTION 12.3. Rights as a Lender. The Persons serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it was not the Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Persons serving as Agent hereunder in each of the Agent’s individual capacity.

 

SECTION 12.4. Loan Information.

 

(a) At Lenders’ request from time to time, Agent shall provide Lenders with any available financial and nonfinancial information in Agent’s possession on Borrower, Guarantors, any other Loan Parties and endorsers of the Term Loan, and all security for the Term Loan. Agent shall maintain records pertaining to the Term Loan. At all reasonable times, Agent shall permit the Lenders, at Lenders’ sole expense, to inspect and copy all such writings and records relating to the Term Loan. Agent shall provide to Lenders, promptly upon receipt by Agent, copies of all reports and other information required to be provided by Borrower to Agent under this Agreement and any other material information otherwise received by Agent with respect to Borrower.

 

(b) Nothing contained in this section shall impose any liability upon Agent for its failure to provide Lenders any of such information or financial statements except for Agent’s own bad faith, willful misconduct, or gross negligence; and provided further, that Agent shall not be obligated to provide Lenders with any information in violation of Requirements of Law or any contractual restrictions on the disclosure thereof.

 

(c) Agent shall have no responsibility to Lenders for any errors or omissions in any such reports, financial statements, or other information.

 

(d) Agent may take any action with respect to the Term Loan which in its reasonable discretion it deems proper. Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment or for any action taken or omitted by it, except to the extent caused by its gross negligence or willful misconduct that causes actual damage to Lenders.

 

(e) Agent (1) may consult with legal counsel (including but not limited to counsel for Borrower), independent public accountants, and other experts selected by Agent and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants, or experts; and (2) shall incur no liability for acting upon any notice, consent, certificate, or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile or electronic mail) believed by Agent to be genuine and believed by Agent to be signed or sent by the proper party. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, Agent shall not be compelled to do any acts hereunder or under any Loan Document or to take any action towards the execution or enforcement of the powers created under this Agreement or any Loan Document, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect hereof or thereof.

 

 
66
 

 

SECTION 12.5. Enforcement of Loan. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that Agent may, in its sole discretion and without prior notice to or consent of Lenders, (i) agree to the modification, waiver or release of any term or provision of the Loan Documents, (ii) give or withhold consents or approvals to any actions or failures to act by Borrower, (iii) exercise or refrain from exercising, or waive, any rights or powers or take or refrain from taking any actions which may be vested in Agent or which Agent may be entitled to take or assert under the Loan Documents, and (iv) take such other and further action as Agent may deem necessary for the effective administration of the Term Loan; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of Required Lenders, no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

 

(a) change the stated Maturity Date or postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to Agent under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document;

 

(b) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any portion of the Term Loan, or any fees or other amounts payable under any Loan Document; provided, however, that Agent may waive any obligation of Borrower to pay interest at the rate specified in Section 2.3;

 

(c) increase the principal amount of the Term Loan or permit Borrower to incur additional indebtedness except as expressly permitted herein;

 

(d) release any Collateral or the liability of Borrower or any existing Guarantor except as expressly permitted herein;

(f) during the continuance of an Event of Default, modify, waive or release any material term or provision of the Loan Documents or give or withhold consents or approval to any actions or failures to act by Borrower;

 

(g) impair the right of Lenders to receive payment of principal, interest, fees or expenses when due;

 

(h) change the ranking or priority of the Term Loan or any security interest thereunder; or

 

(i) subordinate the Term Loan or the Lenders’ interests.

 

 
67
 

 

SECTION 12.6. Nature of Duties of Agent. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities to Lenders except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Agent’s duties hereunder shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Agent shall not have by reason hereof a fiduciary relationship with respect to Lenders. Agent agrees to be bound by Lenders’ determinations made in connection with the Loan Documents so long as such determinations are made in good faith and in the absence of willful misconduct. Unless indemnified to the satisfaction of Agent against loss, cost, liability, and expense, Agent shall be under no duty to enforce any rights, remedies, powers, or privileges with respect to any enforcement of the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents and shall not be compelled to do any act hereunder or thereunder or to take any action toward the exercise or enforcement of the powers created by this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect hereof or thereof.

  

SECTION 12.7. Standard of Care. In making and handling the Term Loan, Agent will exercise the same care as a commercially reasonable agent would exercise, but Agent shall have no further responsibility to Lenders except as expressly provided herein.

 

SECTION 12.8. Indemnification of Agent by Lenders. To the extent that any Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by Borrower, and whether or not Agent has made demand on Borrower for the same, the Lenders will, within five days of written demand by Agent, reimburse Agent for and indemnify Agent from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, client charges and expenses of counsel or any other advisor to Agent), advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender's pro rata share, including, without limitation, advances and disbursements made; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements for which there has been a final non-appealable judicial determination that such liability resulted from Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 12.8 shall survive the payment in full of the Term Loan and the termination of this Agreement.

WARRANT CERTIFICATE

 

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON SHARES

  

Warrant Certificate Number: 2021-07-1

 

Number of Warrants: 4,800,000

Issue Date: July 19, 2021

 

 

  

THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT for value received, FG Agency Lending LLC, of 810 Seventh Avenue, 34th Floor, New York, New York 10019 (the “Warrantholder”) has the right to purchase in respect of each warrant (the “Warrants”) represented by this certificate or by a replacement certificate (in either case this “Warrant Certificate”), at any time up to 5:00 pm (Pacific time) on the fourth anniversary of the Issue Date (the “Expiry Time”) one fully paid and non-assessable common share (the “Common Shares”) of Body and Mind Inc. (the “Corporation”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, as constituted on the date hereof, at an exercise purchase price (the purchase price in effect from time to time being called the “Exercise Price”) of USD$0.40 per Common Share if exercised on or before the Expiry Time, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

The Corporation agrees that the Common Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants shall be and be deemed to be issued to the Warrantholder as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant Certificate shall have been surrendered and payment made for such Common Shares as aforesaid.

 

Nothing contained herein shall confer any right upon the Warrantholder to subscribe for or purchase any Common Shares at any time after the Expiry Time and from and after the Expiry Time the Warrants and all rights under this Warrant Certificate shall be void and of no value.

 

The above provisions are subject to the following:

 

1. Exercise

 

1.1 In the event that the Warrantholder desires to exercise the right to purchase Common Shares conferred hereby, the Warrantholder shall (a) surrender this Warrant Certificate to the Corporation in accordance with section 9 hereof, (b) complete and execute a subscription form in the form attached as Schedule A to this Warrant Certificate, and (c) pay the amount payable on the exercise of this Warrant in respect of the Common Shares subscribed for either by bank draft or cheque payable to the Corporation. Upon such surrender and payment as aforesaid, the Warrantholder shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of record of the number of Common Shares to be so issued and the Warrantholder shall be entitled to delivery of a certificate or certificates representing such Common Shares and the Corporation shall cause such certificate or certificates to be delivered to the Warrantholder at the address specified in the subscription form within five business days after such surrender and payment as aforesaid. No fractional Common Shares will be issuable upon any exercise of this Warrant and the Warrantholder will not be entitled to any cash payment or compensation in lieu of a fractional Common Share.

 

2. Partial Exercise

 

2.1 The Warrantholder may from time to time subscribe for and purchase any lesser number of Common Shares than the number of Common Shares expressed in this Warrant Certificate. In the event that the Warrantholder subscribes for and purchases any such lesser number of Common Shares prior to the Expiry Time, the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive a replacement certificate representing the unexercised balance of the Warrants.

 

3. Not a Shareholder

 

3.1 The holding of the Warrants shall not constitute the Warrantholder a shareholder of the Corporation nor entitle the Warrantholder to any right or interest in respect thereof except as expressly provided in this Warrant Certificate.

 

4. Covenants and Representations

 

4.1 The Corporation hereby represents and warrants that it is authorized to issue and that it will cause the Common Shares from time to time subscribed for and purchased in the manner provided in this Warrant Certificate and the certificate representing such Common Shares to be issued and that, at all times prior to the Expiry Time, it will reserve and there will remain unissued a sufficient number of Common Shares to satisfy the right of purchase provided in this Warrant Certificate. All Common Shares which are issued upon the exercise of the right of purchase provided in this Warrant Certificate, upon payment therefor of the amount at which such Common Shares may be purchased pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant Certificate, shall be and be deemed to be fully paid and non-assessable shares and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Corporation hereby represents and warrants that this Warrant Certificate is a valid and enforceable obligation of the Corporation, enforceable in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant Certificate. The Corporation hereby represents and warrants that it will at all times prior to the Expiry Time of any Warrants hereunder maintain its existence, will carry on and conduct its business in a prudent manner in accordance with industry standards and good business practice, and will keep or cause to be kept proper books of account in accordance with applicable law.

 

 
 

 

5. Anti-Dilution Protection:

(a)

Adjustment Period” means the period commencing on the Issue Date and ending at the Expiry Time;

 

 

 

 

(b)

Current Market Price” of the Corporation’s Common Shares at any date means, if the Common Shares are traded on a stock exchange or, if the Common Shares are not then traded on a stock exchange, in the over-the-counter market, the price per share equal to the weighted average price at which the Common Shares have traded in the over-the-counter market, during the period of any 20 consecutive trading days ending not more than five business days before such date; provided that the weighted average price shall be determined by dividing the aggregate sale price of all Common Shares sold on the said exchange or market, as the case may be, during such 20 consecutive trading days by the total number of Common Shares so sold; and provided further that if the Common Shares are not then traded on a stock exchange or in the over-the-counter market, then the Current Market Price shall be determined by such firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by the directors of the Corporation;

 

 

 

 

(c)

director” means a director of the Corporation for the time being and, unless otherwise specified herein, a reference to action “by the directors” means action by the directors of the Corporation as a board or, whenever empowered, action by any committee of the directors of the Corporation; and

 

 

 

 

(d)

trading day” with respect to a stock exchange or over-the-counter market means a day on which such stock exchange or market is open for business.

 

5.2 Adjustments: The Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares issuable to the Warrantholder pursuant to this Warrant Certificate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in the events and in the manner provided as follows:

 

 

(a)

If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall:

 

 

 

 

 

 

(i)

fix a record date for the issue of, or issue, Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend;

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

fix a record date for the distribution to, or make a distribution to, the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares payable in Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares;

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iii)

subdivide the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares; or

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iv)

consolidate the outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of Common Shares;

   

 
 

 

(any of such events in subclauses 5.2(a)(i), 5.2(a)(ii), 5.2(a)(iii) and 5.2(a)(iv) above being herein called a “Share Reorganization”), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted on the earlier of the record date on which holders of Common Shares are determined for the purposes of the Share Reorganization and the effective date of the Share Reorganization to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date or effective date, as the case may be, by a fraction:

 

 

(A)

the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date or effective date, as the case may be, before giving effect to such Share Reorganization; and

 

 

 

 

(B)

the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares which will be outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Share Reorganization (including in the case of a distribution of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares on such date).

 

To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this clause 5.2(a) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the distribution of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exchange or conversion right to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiry and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right. If the Warrantholder has not exercised its right to subscribe for and purchase Common Shares on or prior to the record date of such stock dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision or consolidation, as the case may be, upon the exercise of such right thereafter shall be entitled to receive and shall accept in lieu of the number of Common Shares then subscribed for and purchased by the Warrantholder, at the Exercise Price determined in accordance with this clause 5.2(a) the aggregate number of Common Shares that the Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Share Reorganization, if, on such record date or effective date, as the case may be, the Warrantholder had been the holder of record of the number of Common Shares so subscribed for and purchased.

  

 

(b)

If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issue or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares of rights, options or warrants pursuant to which such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue (such period being the “Rights Period”), to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares at a price per share to the holder (or in the case of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, at an exchange or conversion price per share) at the date of issue of such securities of less than 95% of the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date (any of such events being called a “Rights Offering”), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date for such Rights Offering to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction:

   

 
 

 

 

 

(i)

the numerator of which shall be the aggregate of:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(A)

the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date for the Rights Offering; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(B)

the quotient determined by dividing:

 

 

 

 

(I)

either (a) the product of the number of Common Shares offered during the Rights Period pursuant to the Rights Offering and the price at which such Common Shares are offered, or, (b) the product of the exchange, exercise or conversion price of the securities so offered and the number of Common Shares for or into which the securities offered pursuant to the Rights Offering may be exchanged, exercised or converted, as the case may be; by

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(II)

the Current Market Price of the Common Shares as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

the denominator of which shall be the aggregate of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the number of Common Shares offered pursuant to the Rights Offering (including in the case of the issue or distribution of securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Common Shares the number of Common Shares into which such securities may be exchanged, exercised or converted).

 

If by the terms of the rights, options, or warrants referred to in this clause 5.2(b), there is more than one purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, 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, shall be calculated for purposes of the adjustment on the basis of the lowest purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, as the case may be. Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such calculation. To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this clause 5.2(b) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the issue or distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to in this clause 5.2(b), the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiry and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right.

 

 

(c)

If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issue or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the Common Shares of:

 

 

 

 

 

 

(i)

shares of the Corporation of any class other than Common Shares;

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Common Shares (other than rights, options or warrants pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares at a price per share (or in the case of securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Common Shares at an exchange, exercise or conversion price per share on the record date for the issue of such securities) of at least 95% of the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date);

  

 
 

 

 

 

(iii)

evidences of indebtedness of the Corporation; or

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iv)

any property or assets of the Corporation;

 

and if such issue or distribution does not constitute a Share Reorganization or a Rights Offering (any of such non-excluded events being herein called a “Special Distribution”), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date for the Special Distribution to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on the record date for the Special Distribution by a fraction:

 

 

 

 

(A)

the numerator of which shall be the difference between:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(I)

the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(II)

the fair value, as determined by a recognized independent firm of valuators, to the holders of Common Shares of the shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or property or assets to be issued or distributed in the Special Distribution; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(B)

the denominator of which shall be the product obtained by multiplying the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date by the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of such calculation. To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this clause 5.2(c) s a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the issue or distribution of rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Common Shares referred to in this clause 5.2(c), the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exchange, exercise or conversion right to the amount which would then be in effect if the current market value of the Common Shares had been determined on the basis of the number of Common Shares issued and remaining issuable immediately after such expiry, and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(d)

If at any time during the Adjustment Period there shall occur:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(i)

a reclassification or redesignation of the Common Shares, any change of the Common Shares into other shares or securities or any other capital reorganization involving the Common Shares other than a Share Reorganization;

 

 
 

 

 

 

(ii)

a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other body corporate which results in a reclassification or redesignation of the Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other shares or securities; or

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iii)

the transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or entity;

 

(any of such events being herein called a “Capital Reorganization”), after the effective date of the Capital Reorganization:

 

 

 

 

(A)

the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept, for the same aggregate consideration, upon exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of the number of Common Shares which the Warrantholder was theretofore entitled to purchase or receive upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and aggregate number of shares and other securities or property resulting from the Capital Reorganization which the Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the Warrantholder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which the Warrantholder was theretofore entitled to purchase or receive upon the exercise of this Warrant; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(B)

the Exercise Price shall, on the effective date of the Capital Reorganization, be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Capital Reorganization by the number of Common Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant Certificate immediately prior to the Capital Reorganization, and dividing the product thereof by the number of successor securities determined in Section 5.2(d)(iv) above.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(e)

If necessary, as a result of any Capital Reorganization, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant Certificate with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Warrantholder to the end that the provisions of this Warrant Certificate shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be possible in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(f)

If at any time during the Adjustment Period any adjustment or readjustment in the Exercise Price shall occur pursuant to the provisions of clauses 5.2(a), 5.2(b) or 5.2(c) hereof, then the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the subsequent exercise of this Warrant shall be simultaneously adjusted or readjusted, as the case may be, by multiplying the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment by a fraction which shall be the reciprocal of the fraction used in the adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price.

 

5.3 Rules: The following rules and procedures shall be applicable to adjustments made pursuant to subsection 5.2 hereof.

 

 

(a)

Subject to the following provisions of this subsection 5.3, any adjustment made pursuant to subsection 5.2 hereof shall be made successively whenever an event referred to therein shall occur.

 

 
 

   

 

(b)

No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least one per cent in the then Exercise Price and no adjustment shall be made in the number of Common Shares purchasable or issuable on the exercise of this Warrant unless it would result in a change of at least one one-hundredth of a Common Share; provided, however, that any adjustments which except for the provision of this clause 5.3(b) would otherwise have been required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. Notwithstanding any other provision of subsection 5.2 hereof, no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made which would result in an increase in the Exercise Price or a decrease in the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant (except in respect of the Share Reorganization described in subclause 5.2(a)(iv) hereof or a Capital Reorganization described in subclause 5.2(d)(ii) hereof).

 

 

 

 

(c)

No adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number or kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made in respect of any event described in section 5 hereof if the Warrantholder is entitled to participate in such event on the same terms mutatis mutandis as if the Warrantholder had exercised this Warrant prior to or on the record date or effective date, as the case may be, of such event.

 

 

 

 

(d)

No adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made pursuant to subsection 5.2 hereof in respect of the issue from time to time of Common Shares pursuant to this Warrant Certificate or pursuant to any stock option, stock purchase or stock bonus plan in effect from time to time for directors, officers or employees of the Corporation and/or any subsidiary of the Corporation and any such issue, and any grant of options in connection therewith, shall be deemed not to be a Share Reorganization, a Rights Offering nor any other event described in subsection 5.2 hereof.

 

 

 

 

(e)

If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Common Shares, other than an action described in subsection 5.2 hereof, which in the opinion of the directors would have a material adverse effect upon the rights of the Warrantholder, either or both the Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time by action by the directors, in their sole discretion, as may be equitable in the circumstances. Failure of the taking of action by the directors so as to provide for an adjustment prior to the effective date of any action by the Corporation affecting the Common Shares shall be deemed to be conclusive evidence that the directors have determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances.

 

 

 

 

(f)

If the Corporation shall set a record date to determine holders of Common Shares for the purpose of entitling such holders to receive any dividend or distribution or any subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to such holders of any such dividend, distribution or subscription or purchase rights, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution or subscription or purchase rights, then no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be required by reason of the setting of such record date.

 

 

 

 

(g)

In any case in which this Warrant shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to in subsection 5.2 hereof, the Corporation may defer, until the occurrence of such event:

 

 
 

 

 

(i)

issuing to the Warrantholder, to the extent that this Warrant is exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event, the additional Common Shares issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event; and

 

 

 

 

(ii)

delivering to the Warrantholder any distribution declared with respect to such additional Common Shares after such record date and before such event;

  

provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver to the Warrantholder an appropriate instrument evidencing the right of the Warrantholder, upon the occurrence of the event requiring the adjustment, to an adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and to such distribution declared with respect to any such additional Common Shares issuable on this exercise of this Warrant.

THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT for value received, FG Agency Lending LLC, of 810 Seventh Avenue, 34th Floor, New York, New York 10019 (the “Warrantholder”) has the right to purchase in respect of each warrant (the “Warrants”) represented by this certificate or by a replacement certificate (in either case this “Warrant Certificate”), upon the release of this Warrant Certificate from escrow by the Company to the Warrantholder, at any time up to 5:00 pm (Pacific time) on the fourth anniversary of the Issue Date (the “Expiry Time”) one fully paid and non-assessable common share (the “Common Shares”) of Body and Mind Inc. (the “Corporation”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, as constituted on the date hereof, at an exercise purchase price (the purchase price in effect from time to time being called the “Exercise Price”) of USD$0.45 per Common Share if exercised on or before the Expiry Time, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

 
 

 

The Corporation agrees that the Common Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants shall be and be deemed to be issued to the Warrantholder as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant Certificate shall have been surrendered and payment made for such Common Shares as aforesaid.

 

Nothing contained herein shall confer any right upon the Warrantholder to subscribe for or purchase any Common Shares at any time after the Expiry Time and from and after the Expiry Time the Warrants and all rights under this Warrant Certificate shall be void and of no value.

 

The above provisions are subject to the following:

 

1. Exercise

 

1.1 In the event that the Warrantholder desires to exercise the right to purchase Common Shares conferred hereby, the Warrantholder shall (a) surrender this Warrant Certificate to the Corporation in accordance with section 9 hereof, (b) complete and execute a subscription form in the form attached as Schedule A to this Warrant Certificate, and (c) pay the amount payable on the exercise of this Warrant in respect of the Common Shares subscribed for either by bank draft or cheque payable to the Corporation. Upon such surrender and payment as aforesaid, the Warrantholder shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of record of the number of Common Shares to be so issued and the Warrantholder shall be entitled to delivery of a certificate or certificates representing such Common Shares and the Corporation shall cause such certificate or certificates to be delivered to the Warrantholder at the address specified in the subscription form within five business days after such surrender and payment as aforesaid. No fractional Common Shares will be issuable upon any exercise of this Warrant and the Warrantholder will not be entitled to any cash payment or compensation in lieu of a fractional Common Share.

 

2. Partial Exercise

 

2.1 The Warrantholder may from time to time subscribe for and purchase any lesser number of Common Shares than the number of Common Shares expressed in this Warrant Certificate. In the event that the Warrantholder subscribes for and purchases any such lesser number of Common Shares prior to the Expiry Time, the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive a replacement certificate representing the unexercised balance of the Warrants.

 

3. Not a Shareholder

 

3.1 The holding of the Warrants shall not constitute the Warrantholder a shareholder of the Corporation nor entitle the Warrantholder to any right or interest in respect thereof except as expressly provided in this Warrant Certificate.

 

4. Covenants and Representations

 

4.1 The Corporation hereby represents and warrants that it is authorized to issue and that it will cause the Common Shares from time to time subscribed for and purchased in the manner provided in this Warrant Certificate and the certificate representing such Common Shares to be issued and that, at all times prior to the Expiry Time, it will reserve and there will remain unissued a sufficient number of Common Shares to satisfy the right of purchase provided in this Warrant Certificate. All Common Shares which are issued upon the exercise of the right of purchase provided in this Warrant Certificate, upon payment therefor of the amount at which such Common Shares may be purchased pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant Certificate, shall be and be deemed to be fully paid and non-assessable shares and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Corporation hereby represents and warrants that this Warrant Certificate is a valid and enforceable obligation of the Corporation, enforceable in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant Certificate. The Corporation hereby represents and warrants that it will at all times prior to the Expiry Time of any Warrants hereunder maintain its existence, will carry on and conduct its business in a prudent manner in accordance with industry standards and good business practice, and will keep or cause to be kept proper books of account in accordance with applicable law.

5.2 Adjustments: The Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares issuable to the Warrantholder pursuant to this Warrant Certificate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in the events and in the manner provided as follows:

 

 

(a)

If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall:

  

 

(i)

fix a record date for the issue of, or issue, Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend;

 

 

 

 

(ii)

fix a record date for the distribution to, or make a distribution to, the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares payable in Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares;

 

 

 

 

(iii)

subdivide the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares; or

 

 

 

 

(iv)

consolidate the outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of Common Shares;

 

 
 

  

(any of such events in subclauses 5.2(a)(i), 5.2(a)(ii), 5.2(a)(iii) and 5.2(a)(iv) above being herein called a “Share Reorganization”), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted on the earlier of the record date on which holders of Common Shares are determined for the purposes of the Share Reorganization and the effective date of the Share Reorganization to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date or effective date, as the case may be, by a fraction:

 

 

(A)

the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date or effective date, as the case may be, before giving effect to such Share Reorganization; and

 

 

 

 

(B)

the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares which will be outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Share Reorganization (including in the case of a distribution of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares on such date).

 

To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this clause 5.2(a) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the distribution of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exchange or conversion right to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiry and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right. If the Warrantholder has not exercised its right to subscribe for and purchase Common Shares on or prior to the record date of such stock dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision or consolidation, as the case may be, upon the exercise of such right thereafter shall be entitled to receive and shall accept in lieu of the number of Common Shares then subscribed for and purchased by the Warrantholder, at the Exercise Price determined in accordance with this clause 5.2(a) the aggregate number of Common Shares that the Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Share Reorganization, if, on such record date or effective date, as the case may be, the Warrantholder had been the holder of record of the number of Common Shares so subscribed for and purchased.

 

 

(b)

If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issue or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares of rights, options or warrants pursuant to which such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue (such period being the “Rights Period”), to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares at a price per share to the holder (or in the case of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, at an exchange or conversion price per share) at the date of issue of such securities of less than 95% of the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date (any of such events being called a “Rights Offering”), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date for such Rights Offering to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction:

 

 
 

 

 

(i)

the numerator of which shall be the aggregate of:

  

 

(A)

the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date for the Rights Offering; and

 

 

 

 

(B)

the quotient determined by dividing:

  

 

(I)

either (a) the product of the number of Common Shares offered during the Rights Period pursuant to the Rights Offering and the price at which such Common Shares are offered, or, (b) the product of the exchange, exercise or conversion price of the securities so offered and the number of Common Shares for or into which the securities offered pursuant to the Rights Offering may be exchanged, exercised or converted, as the case may be; by

 

 

 

 

(II)

the Current Market Price of the Common Shares as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and

  

 

(ii)

the denominator of which shall be the aggregate of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the number of Common Shares offered pursuant to the Rights Offering (including in the case of the issue or distribution of securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Common Shares the number of Common Shares into which such securities may be exchanged, exercised or converted).

 

If by the terms of the rights, options, or warrants referred to in this clause 5.2(b), there is more than one purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, 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, shall be calculated for purposes of the adjustment on the basis of the lowest purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, as the case may be. Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such calculation. To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this clause 5.2(b) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the issue or distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to in this clause 5.2(b), the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiry and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right.

 

 

(c)

If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issue or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the Common Shares of:

 

 

(i)

shares of the Corporation of any class other than Common Shares;

 

 

 

 

(ii)

rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Common Shares (other than rights, options or warrants pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares at a price per share (or in the case of securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Common Shares at an exchange, exercise or conversion price per share on the record date for the issue of such securities) of at least 95% of the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date);

 

 
 

 

 

(iii)

evidences of indebtedness of the Corporation; or

 

 

 

 

(iv)

any property or assets of the Corporation;

 

and if such issue or distribution does not constitute a Share Reorganization or a Rights Offering (any of such non-excluded events being herein called a “Special Distribution”), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date for the Special Distribution to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on the record date for the Special Distribution by a fraction:

 

 

(A)

the numerator of which shall be the difference between:

 

 

(I)

the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date; and

 

 

 

 

(II)

the fair value, as determined by a recognized independent firm of valuators, to the holders of Common Shares of the shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or property or assets to be issued or distributed in the Special Distribution; and

  

 

(B)

the denominator of which shall be the product obtained by multiplying the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date by the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date.

 

Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of such calculation. To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this clause 5.2(c) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the issue or distribution of rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Common Shares referred to in this clause 5.2(c), the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exchange, exercise or conversion right to the amount which would then be in effect if the current market value of the Common Shares had been determined on the basis of the number of Common Shares issued and remaining issuable immediately after such expiry, and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right.

 

 

(d)

If at any time during the Adjustment Period there shall occur:

  

 

(i)

a reclassification or redesignation of the Common Shares, any change of the Common Shares into other shares or securities or any other capital reorganization involving the Common Shares other than a Share Reorganization;

  

 
 

 

 

(ii)

a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other body corporate which results in a reclassification or redesignation of the Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other shares or securities; or

 

 

 

 

(iii)

the transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or entity;

 

(any of such events being herein called a “Capital Reorganization”), after the effective date of the Capital Reorganization:

 

 

(A)

the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept, for the same aggregate consideration, upon exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of the number of Common Shares which the Warrantholder was theretofore entitled to purchase or receive upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and aggregate number of shares and other securities or property resulting from the Capital Reorganization which the Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the Warrantholder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which the Warrantholder was theretofore entitled to purchase or receive upon the exercise of this Warrant; and

 

 

 

 

(B)

the Exercise Price shall, on the effective date of the Capital Reorganization, be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Capital Reorganization by the number of Common Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant Certificate immediately prior to the Capital Reorganization, and dividing the product thereof by the number of successor securities determined in Section 5.2(d)(iv) above.

  

 

(e)

If necessary, as a result of any Capital Reorganization, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant Certificate with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Warrantholder to the end that the provisions of this Warrant Certificate shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be possible in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

 

 

 

(f)

If at any time during the Adjustment Period any adjustment or readjustment in the Exercise Price shall occur pursuant to the provisions of clauses 5.2(a), 5.2(b) or 5.2(c) hereof, then the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the subsequent exercise of this Warrant shall be simultaneously adjusted or readjusted, as the case may be, by multiplying the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment by a fraction which shall be the reciprocal of the fraction used in the adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price.

 

5.3 Rules: The following rules and procedures shall be applicable to adjustments made pursuant to subsection 5.2 hereof.

 

 

(a)

Subject to the following provisions of this subsection 5.3, any adjustment made pursuant to subsection 5.2 hereof shall be made successively whenever an event referred to therein shall occur.

  

 
 

 

 

(b)

No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least one per cent in the then Exercise Price and no adjustment shall be made in the number of Common Shares purchasable or issuable on the exercise of this Warrant unless it would result in a change of at least one one-hundredth of a Common Share; provided, however, that any adjustments which except for the provision of this clause 5.3(b) would otherwise have been required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. Notwithstanding any other provision of subsection 5.2 hereof, no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made which would result in an increase in the Exercise Price or a decrease in the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant (except in respect of the Share Reorganization described in subclause 5.2(a)(iv) hereof or a Capital Reorganization described in subclause 5.2(d)(ii) hereof).

 

 

 

 

(c)

No adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number or kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made in respect of any event described in section 5 hereof if the Warrantholder is entitled to participate in such event on the same terms mutatis mutandis as if the Warrantholder had exercised this Warrant prior to or on the record date or effective date, as the case may be, of such event.

 

 

 

 

(d)

No adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made pursuant to subsection 5.2 hereof in respect of the issue from time to time of Common Shares pursuant to this Warrant Certificate or pursuant to any stock option, stock purchase or stock bonus plan in effect from time to time for directors, officers or employees of the Corporation and/or any subsidiary of the Corporation and any such issue, and any grant of options in connection therewith, shall be deemed not to be a Share Reorganization, a Rights Offering nor any other event described in subsection 5.2 hereof.

 

 

 

 

(e)

If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Common Shares, other than an action described in subsection 5.2 hereof, which in the opinion of the directors would have a material adverse effect upon the rights of the Warrantholder, either or both the Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time by action by the directors, in their sole discretion, as may be equitable in the circumstances. Failure of the taking of action by the directors so as to provide for an adjustment prior to the effective date of any action by the Corporation affecting the Common Shares shall be deemed to be conclusive evidence that the directors have determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances.

 

 

 

 

(f)

If the Corporation shall set a record date to determine holders of Common Shares for the purpose of entitling such holders to receive any dividend or distribution or any subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to such holders of any such dividend, distribution or subscription or purchase rights, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution or subscription or purchase rights, then no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be required by reason of the setting of such record date.

 

 

 

 

(g)

In any case in which this Warrant shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to in subsection 5.2 hereof, the Corporation may defer, until the occurrence of such event:

 

 
 

  

 

(I)

issuing to the Warrantholder, to the extent that this Warrant is exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event, the additional Common Shares issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event; and

 

 

 

 

(ii)

delivering to the Warrantholder any distribution declared with respect to such additional Common Shares after such record date and before such event;

 

provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver to the Warrantholder an appropriate instrument evidencing the right of the Warrantholder, upon the occurrence of the event requiring the adjustment, to an adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and to such distribution declared with respect to any such additional Common Shares issuable on this exercise of this Warrant.

 

 

(h)

In the absence of a resolution of the directors fixing a record date for a Rights Offering, the Corporation shall be deemed to have fixed as the record date therefor the date of the issue of the rights, options or warrants issued pursuant to the Rights Offering.

 

 

 

 

(i)

If a dispute shall at any time arise with respect to adjustments of the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such disputes shall be conclusively determined by a firm of independent chartered accountants mutually acceptable to the Warrantholder and the Corporation and any such determination, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any adjustment made pursuant to subsection 5.2 hereof and shall be binding upon the Corporation and the Warrantholder.

 

 

 

 

(j)

As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to subsection 5.2 hereof, including the Exercise Price and the number or class of Common Shares or other securities which are to be received upon the exercise thereof, the Corporation shall take any action which may, in the opinion of counsel to the Corporation, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable shares all of the Common Shares or other securities which the Warrantholder is entitled to receive in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant Certificate.

 

5.4 Notice: At least 21 days prior to any record date or effective date, as the case may be, for any event which requires or might require an adjustment in any of the rights of the Warrantholder under this Warrant, including the Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares which are purchasable under this Warrant, the Corporation shall deliver to the Warrantholder a certificate of the Corporation specifying the particulars of such event and, if determinable, the required adjustment and the calculation of such adjustment. In case any adjustment for which a notice in this subsection 5.4 has been given is not then determinable, the Corporation shall promptly after such adjustment is determinable deliver to the Warrantholder a certificate providing the calculation of such adjustment. The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees that the register of transfers and transfer books for the Common Shares will be open, and that the Corporation will not take any action which might deprive the Warrantholder of the opportunity of exercising the rights of subscription contained in this Warrant Certificate, during such 21 day period.

 

 
 

 

6. Further Assurances

 

The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees that it will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, all and every such other act, deed and assurance as the Warrantholder shall reasonably require for the better accomplishing and effectuating of the intentions and provisions of this Warrant Certificate.
