THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT for value received GEM Global Fund LLC SCS, whose registered office is at 412F, route d’Esch, L-2086 Luxembourg (the “Holder”) is the registered holder of the number of warrants stated above (each a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”) and is entitled for each whole Warrant represented hereby to purchase one fully paid and non-assessable common share, subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided (each a “Share” and collectively the “Shares”), in the capital of GLOBAL CROSSING AIRLINES INC. (the “Corporation”), at any time and from time to time from the date of issue hereof up to and including 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on May 4, 2023 (the “Expiry Time”), at a price at the greatest of:

 

  i.

if the common shares of the Corporation have been listed on TSX Venture Exchange, a price equal to the closing price on the first day of trading, subject to adjustments as hereinafter provided, upon and subject to the following terms and conditions;


  ii.

the pro-rata portion of the per share price of the common shares of the Corporation at an $8 million valuation; and

 

  iii.

The lowest exercise price accepted by the Exchange;

For purposes of this Warrant Certificate:

 

  (i)

“Shares” means the Shares which are issuable upon the exercise from time to time of these Warrants; and

 

  (ii)

“$” means Canadian dollars.


TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

1.

As and from the date that is four months and one day following the date of the RTO or, if the RTO has not been completed by May 4, 2020, the date that is four months and one day from the date that is four months and one day from the date of the Agreement dated May 4 between the Corporation and the Holder at any time and from time to time at or prior to the Expiry Time (the “Exercise Period”), the Holder may exercise all or any number of whole Warrants represented hereby, upon delivering to the Corporation at its principal office noted above, this Warrant Certificate, together with a duly completed and executed subscription notice in the form attached hereto (the “Subscription Notice”) evidencing the election of the Holder to exercise the number of Warrants set forth in the Subscription Notice (which shall not be greater than the number of Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate) and a certified cheque, money order or bank draft payable to the Corporation for the aggregate Exercise Price of all Warrants being exercised. If the Holder is not exercising all Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, without charge, a new Warrant Certificate representing the number of Warrants which is the difference between the number of Warrants represented by the then original Warrant Certificate and the number of Warrants being so exercised.

 

2.

The Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of Shares on the date (the “Exercise Date”) on which the Corporation has received a duly completed Subscription Notice, delivery of the Warrant Certificate and payment of the full aggregate Exercise Price in respect of the Warrants being exercised pursuant to such Subscription Notice; provided, however, that if such date is not a business day in the City of New York, New York or in the City of Miami, Florida (a “Business Day”) then the Shares shall be deemed to have been issued and the Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the Shares on the next following Business Day. Within five (5) Business Days of the Exercise Date, the Corporation shall issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Holder, by registered mail or pre-paid courier to his, her or its address specified in the register of the Corporation, one or more certificates for the appropriate number of issued and outstanding Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to the exercise of Warrants. All costs, expenses, transfer taxes and other charges payable in connection with the issue and delivery of the Shares shall be at the sole expense of the Corporation (other than withholding tax, if any).

 

3.

The Corporation covenants and agrees that, until the Expiry Time, while any of the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate shall be outstanding, it shall reserve and there shall remain unissued out of its authorized capital a sufficient number of Shares to satisfy the right of purchase herein provided, as such right of purchase may be adjusted pursuant to Sections 4 and 6 of this Warrant Certificate. The Corporation represents and warrants that all Shares which shall be issued upon the exercise of the right to purchase herein provided for, upon payment of the aggregate Exercise Price at which Shares may at that time be purchased pursuant to the provisions hereof, shall be issued as fully paid and non-assessable shares and the holders thereof shall not be liable to the Corporation or its creditors in respect thereof. The Corporation further represents and warrants that this Warrant Certificate is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Corporation, enforceable against the Corporation in accordance with its terms, provided that enforcement thereof may be limited by laws effecting creditors’ rights generally and that specific performance and other equitable remedies may only be granted in the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Corporation covenants that it will make all requisite filings under applicable laws in connection with the exercise of the Warrants and issue of Shares.

 

4.

In order to deliver Shares without any resale restriction to the Holder on the Exercise Date, the Corporation shall arrange for the Share Lenders to lend Common Shares to the Holder for delivery on the Exercise Date. In such cases, the loan shall be made on the following terms:

(a) the total number of Common Shares which shall be offered for loan (the “Loan Shares”) shall be equal to the Shares to be delivered by the Corporation to the Holder on the Exercise Date;


(b) the Share Lender shall deliver on the Exercise Date the Loan Shares which are to be loaned (the “Loan”) to the securities account designated by the Holder in the Subscription Notice;

(c) each Loan shall be concluded for a term commencing on the date of delivery of the Loan Shares to the Holder (which must not be later than the Exercise Date) and ending on the day set out in paragraph (f) below;

(d) if the Corporation pays a dividend or makes a distribution to the holders of the Common Shares during the term of any Loan, the Holder shall pay to the Share Lender (at the time when the Holder receives the corresponding payment from the Corporation in accordance with indemnity set out further in this paragraph) in cash an amount equal to such dividend or distribution so made by the Corporation in respect to the Loan Shares. If the Corporation pays a dividend or makes any other distribution to the holders of Common Shares during the term of any Loan, the Corporation shall indemnify the Holder in respect of any and all sums that the Holder may incur in order to comply with this paragraph in order to pay the Share Lender the sums of any dividends or distributions, and from such sums will be deducted any net sum received by the Holder as dividend in respect to the Loan Shares;

(e) each Loan shall be instrumental to the Corporation for the purpose of this Warrant Certificate and it shall carry no consideration payable by the Holder to the Share Lender irrespective of any arrangements that may be agreed between the Corporation and the Share Lender in relation to the Loan;

(f) within one trading day after the Shares to be issued and delivered to the Holder pursuant to this Warrant have been Listed and delivered to the Holder, the Holder shall repay the balance of the relevant Loan by transferring a number of Common Shares which is equal to the number of outstanding Loan Shares to the Share Lender;and

(g) the Holder shall have no obligation to repay the balance of the relevant loan, and the Share Lender shall have not right to claim for any outstanding Loan Shares, until the Shares issued pursuant to this Warrant have been issued, delivered to the Holder, registered with the share register and Listed.

 

5.

The Exercise Price (and the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise) shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in the events and in the manner provided as follows:

 

  (a)

Share Reorganization. If during the Exercise Period the Corporation shall:

 

  (i)

issue Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Shares to holders of all or substantially all of its then outstanding Shares by way of stock dividend or other distribution, or

 

  (ii)

subdivide, redivide or change its outstanding Shares into a greater number of Shares, or

 

  (iii)

consolidate, reduce or combine its outstanding Shares into a lesser number of Shares,

(any of such events in these paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) being a “Share Reorganization”), then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as of the effective date or record date, as the case may be, at which the holders of Shares are determined for the purpose of the Share Reorganization by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such effective date or record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Shares outstanding on such effective date or record date before giving effect to such Share Reorganization and the denominator of which shall be the number of Shares outstanding as of the effective date or record date after giving effect to such


Share Reorganization (including, in the case where securities exchangeable for or convertible into Shares are distributed, the number of Shares that would have been outstanding had such securities been fully exchanged for or converted into Shares on such record date or effective date). From and after any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 4(a), the number of Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant Certificate shall be adjusted contemporaneously with the adjustment of the Exercise Price by multiplying the number of Shares then otherwise purchasable on the exercise thereof by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

 

  (b)

Rights Offering. If and whenever during the Exercise Period the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issue or distribution of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of Shares under which such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue to subscribe for or purchase Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Shares at a price per share to the holder (or having a conversion price or exchange price per Share) of less than 95% of the Current Market Price (as defined in Section 5 hereof) for the Shares on such record date (any of such events being called a “Rights Offering”), then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date for the Rights Offering to a price 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 Shares outstanding as of the record date for the Rights Offering, and

 

  (B)

a number determined by dividing either

 

  I.

the product of the number of Shares offered under the Rights Offering and the price at which such Shares are offered,

or, as the case may be,

 

  II.

the product of the exchange or conversion price per share of such securities offered and the maximum number of Shares for or into which the securities so offered pursuant to the Rights Offering may be exchanged or converted,

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

 

  (ii)

the denominator of which shall be the aggregate of the number of Shares outstanding on such record date after giving effect to the Rights Offering and including the number of Shares offered pursuant to the Rights Offering (including shares issuable upon exercise of the rights, warrants or options under the Rights Offering or upon the exercise of the exchange or conversion rights contained in such exchangeable or convertible securities under the Rights Offering).

Any 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 such Rights Offering is not so made or any such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price shall then be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or if such expired rights, options or warrants had not been


issued. From and after any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 4(b), the number of Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant Certificate shall be adjusted contemporaneously with the adjustment of the Exercise Price by multiplying the number of Shares then otherwise purchasable on the exercise thereof by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

 

  (c)

Special Distribution. If and whenever during the Exercise Period the Corporation shall issue or distribute to all or to substantially all the holders of the Shares:

 

  (i)

securities of the Corporation including shares, rights, options or warrants to acquire shares of any class or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or exchangeable into any such shares, or

 

  (ii)

any cash (other than cash dividends made in the ordinary course), property or other assets or evidences of its indebtedness,

and if such issuance 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 immediately after the record date for the Special Distribution so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction:

 

  (i)

the numerator of which shall be the difference between:

 

  (A)

the amount obtained by multiplying the number of Shares outstanding on such record date by the Current Market Price of the Shares on such record date, and

 

  (B)

the fair value (as determined by the directors of the Corporation) to the holders of such Shares of such Special Distribution; and

 

  (ii)

the denominator of which shall be the total number of Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Current Market Price of the Shares on such record date.

Any Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. To the extent that such Special Distribution is not so made or any such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price shall then be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or if such expired rights, options or warrants had not been issued. From and after any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 4(c), the number of Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant Certificate shall be adjusted contemporaneously with the adjustment of the Exercise Price by multiplying the number of Shares then otherwise purchasable on the exercise thereof by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

 

  (d)

Capital Reorganization. If and whenever during the Exercise Period there shall be a reclassification or redesignation of Shares at any time outstanding or a change of the Shares into other shares or into other securities or any other capital reorganization (other than a Share Reorganization), or a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or other entity (other than a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger which does not result in any reclassification or redesignation of the outstanding Shares or a change of the Shares into other securities), or a transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Corporation as an


  entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or other entity (any of such events being herein called a “Capital Reorganization”), the Holder, where he, she or it has not exercised the right of subscription and purchase under this Warrant Certificate prior to the effective date or record date, as the case may be, of such Capital Reorganization, shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept upon the exercise of such right for the same aggregate consideration, in lieu of the number of Shares to which such Holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise, the kind and aggregate number of shares, other securities or other property which such holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, he had been the registered holder of the number of Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled to subscribe for and purchase; provided however, that no such Capital Reorganization shall be carried into effect unless all necessary steps shall have been taken by the Corporation to so entitle the Holder. If determined appropriate by the board of directors of the Corporation, acting reasonably and in good faith, and subject to the prior written approval of the principal Canadian stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Shares are then listed or quoted for trading if required by such stock exchange or over-the-counter market, appropriate adjustments shall be made as a result of any such Capital Reorganization in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 4 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 4 shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be possible in relation to any shares, other securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of any Warrant. Any such adjustments shall be made by and set forth in terms and conditions supplemental hereto approved by the board of directors of the Corporation, acting reasonably and in good faith.

 

  (e)

If on [] [NTD: One year from the date of the issuance of Warrants] the Current Market Price of the Shares is less than 90 % of then-current Exercise Price, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to 105% of the Current Market Price at that time.

 

  (f)

Subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, if applicable, if and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time, the Corporation takes any action affecting its Shares to which the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, in the opinion of the board of directors of the Corporation, acting reasonably and in good faith, are not strictly applicable, or if strictly applicable would not fairly adjust the rights of the Holder against dilution in accordance with the intent and purposes thereof, or would otherwise materially affect the rights of the Holder hereunder, then the Corporation shall execute and deliver to the Holder an amendment hereto providing for an adjustment in the application of such provisions so as to adjust such rights as aforesaid in such a manner as the board of directors of the Corporation may determine to be equitable in the circumstances, acting reasonably and in good faith. The failure of the taking of action by the board of directors of the Corporation to so provide for any adjustment on or prior to the effective date of any action or occurrence giving rise to such state of facts will be conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, that the board of directors has determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances.

 

6.

The following rules and procedures shall be applicable to the adjustments made pursuant to Section 4:

 

  (a)

The adjustments provided for in Section 4 are cumulative and shall be made successively whenever an event referred to therein shall occur, and shall, in the case of adjustments to the Exercise Price be computed to the nearest one-tenth of one cent subject to the following paragraphs of this Section 5.


  (b)

No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% in the prevailing Exercise Price and no adjustment shall be made in the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate unless it would result in a change of at least one-hundredth of a Share; provided, however, that any adjustments which, except for the provisions of this Section 5(b) would otherwise have been required to be made, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. Notwithstanding Section 4 or 5 hereof, no adjustment shall be made which would result in an increase in the Exercise Price or a decrease in the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate (except in respect of a consolidation of the outstanding Shares).

 

  (c)

No adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of Warrants shall be made in respect of any event described in Section 4, other than the events referred to in Sections 4(a)(ii) and (iii), if the Holder is entitled to participate in such event on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as if it had exercised its Warrants prior to or on the effective date or record date, as the case may be, of such event. The terms of the participation of the Holder in such event shall be subject to the prior written approval, if applicable, of the principal Canadian stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Shares are then listed or quoted for trading.

 

  (d)

No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be made pursuant to Section 4 in respect of the issue from time to time:

 

  (i)

of Shares purchasable on exercise of the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate;

 

  (ii)

of Shares to holders of Shares who exercise an option or election to receive substantially equivalent dividends in Shares in lieu of receiving a cash dividend pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan or similar plan adopted by the Corporation in accordance with the requirements of the principal Canadian stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Shares are then listed or quoted for trading and applicable securities laws; or

 

  (iii)

of Shares pursuant to any stock option, stock option plan, stock purchase plan or benefit plan in force at the date hereof for directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Corporation, as such option or plan is amended or superseded from time to time in accordance with the requirements of the principal Canadian stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Shares are then listed or quoted for trading and applicable securities laws, and such other stock option, stock option plan or stock purchase plan as may be adopted by the Corporation in accordance with the requirements of the principal Canadian stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Shares are then listed or quoted for trading and applicable securities laws;

and any such issue shall be deemed not to be a Share Reorganization or Capital Reorganization.

 

  (e)

If the Corporation shall set a record date to determine the holders of the Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or distribution or any subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to such shareholders 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 Shares purchasable upon exercise of any Warrant shall be required by reason of the setting of such record date.


  (f)

As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require any adjustment in any of the subscription rights pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, including the Exercise Price and the number or class of shares or other securities which are to be received upon the exercise thereof, the Corporation shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation have unissued and reserved Shares in its authorized capital, and may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all the shares or other securities which the Holder of such Warrant Certificate is entitled to receive on the full exercise thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof.

 

  (g)

For the purposes of this Warrant Certificate, “Current Market Price” of a Share at any date shall be calculated as the price per share equal to the closing price for the Shares on the principal Canadian stock exchange or, if the Shares are not listed, the over-the-counter market, on which the Shares are then listed or posted for trading on the Trading Day immediately prior to such date as reported by such exchange or market in which the Shares are then trading or quoted. If the Shares are not then traded in the over-the-counter market or on a recognized Canadian stock exchange, the Current Market Price of the Shares shall be the fair market value of the Shares as determined in good faith by a nationally or internationally recognized and independent investment dealer, investment banker or firm of chartered accountants.

 

  (h)

In the absence of a resolution of the board of directors of the Corporation fixing a record date for any dividend or distribution referred to in Section 4(a)(i) or any Rights Offering or Special Distribution, the Corporation shall be deemed to have fixed as the record date therefor the date on which such dividend or distribution, Rights Offering or Special Distribution is effected.

 

  (i)

Any question that at any time or from time to time arises with respect to the amount of any adjustment to the Exercise Price or other adjustments pursuant to Section 4 shall be conclusively determined by a firm of independent chartered accountants and shall be binding upon the Corporation and the Holder, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such determination shall be subject to the prior written approval of the principal Canadian stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Shares are then listed or quoted for trading if required by such stock exchange or over-the-counter market. In the event that any such determination is made, the Corporation shall notify the Holder in the manner contemplated in Section 16 describing such determination.

 

7.

On the happening of each and every such event set out in Section 4, the applicable provisions of this Warrant Certificate, including the Exercise Price, shall, ipso facto, be deemed to be amended accordingly and the Corporation shall take all necessary action so as to comply with such provisions as so amended.

 

8.

In any case in which Section 4 shall require that an adjustment shall be effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein, the Corporation may defer, until the occurrence of such an event:

 

  (a)

issuing to the holder of any Warrant exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event, the additional Shares issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event, and

 

  (b)

delivering to such holder any distributions declared with respect to such additional Shares after such Exercise Date and before such event;

provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver or cause to be delivered to such holder, an appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right, upon the occurrence of the event requiring the adjustment, to an adjustment in the Exercise Price and/or the number of Shares purchasable on the exercise of any Warrant and to such distributions declared with respect to any additional Shares issuable on the exercise of any Warrant.


9.

At least 21 days prior to the effective date or record date, as the case may be, of any event which requires or might require adjustment in any of the subscription rights pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, including the Exercise Price and the number of Shares which are purchasable upon the exercise thereof, or such longer period of notice as the Corporation shall be required to provide holders of Shares in respect of any such event, the Corporation shall notify the Holder of the particulars of such event and, if determinable, the required adjustment and the computation of such adjustment. In case any adjustment for which such notice has been given is not then determinable, the Corporation shall promptly after such adjustment is determinable notify the Holder of the adjustment and the computation of such adjustment.

 

10.

The Corporation shall maintain a register of holders in which shall be entered the names and addresses of the holders of the Warrants and of the number of Warrants held by them. Such register shall be open at all reasonable times for inspection by the Holder. The Corporation shall notify the Holder forthwith of any change of address of the principal office of the Corporation.

 

11.

Where the Holder is entitled to receive on the exercise or partial exercise of its Warrants a fraction of a Share, such right may only be exercised in respect of such fraction in combination with another Warrant or Warrants which in the aggregate entitle the Holder to receive a whole number of Shares. If a Holder is not able to, or elects not to, combine Warrants so as to be entitled to acquire a whole number of Shares, the Holder may not exercise the right to acquire a fractional Share, and, does not have the right to receive a cash equivalent in lieu thereof equal to such fraction of a Share multiplied by the Current Market Price.

 

12.

Subject as herein provided, all or any of the rights conferred upon the Holder by the terms hereof may be enforced by the Holder by appropriate legal proceedings.

 

13.

The registered Holder of this Warrant Certificate may at any time up to and including the Expiry Time, upon the surrender hereof to the Corporation at its principal office, exchange this Warrant Certificate for one or more Warrant Certificates entitling the Holder to subscribe in the aggregate for the same number of Shares as is expressed in this Warrant Certificate. Any Warrant Certificate tendered for exchange shall be surrendered to the Corporation and cancelled.

 

14.

If this Warrant Certificate becomes stolen, lost, mutilated or destroyed, the Corporation shall, on such terms as it may in its discretion acting reasonably impose, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant Certificate of like denomination, tenor and date as the Warrant Certificate so stolen, lost, mutilated or destroyed.

 

15.

Nothing contained herein shall confer any right upon the Holder hereof or any other person to subscribe for or purchase any Shares of the Corporation at any time subsequent to the Expiry Time. After the Expiry Time this Warrant Certificate and all rights hereunder shall be void and of no value.

 

16.

Except as expressly set out herein, the holding of this Warrant Certificate shall not constitute a Holder hereof a holder of Shares nor entitle it to any right or interest in respect thereof.

 

17.

Unless herein otherwise expressly provided, any notice to be given hereunder to the Holder shall be deemed to be validly given if such notice is given by personal delivery or registered mail to the attention of the Holder at its registered address recorded in the registers maintained by the Corporation. Any notice so given shall be deemed to be validly given, if delivered personally, on the day of delivery and if sent by post or other means, on the fifth Business Day next following the sending thereof. In determining under any provision hereof the date when notice of any event must be given, the date of giving notice shall be included and the date of the event shall be excluded.


18.

This Warrant Certificate and the Warrants represented hereby may be assigned with prior written consent of the Corporation, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

19.

Time is of the essence hereof.

 

20.

This Warrant Certificate is binding upon the Corporation and its successors and assigns, provided that it shall not be assigned by the Corporation without the prior written consent of the Holder.

 

21.

This Warrant Certificate and the Warrants represented hereby shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Québec and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF this Warrant Certificate has been executed on behalf of GLOBAL CROSSING AIRLINES INC. as of the                  day of                 , 2020.

TO:

GLOBAL CROSSING AIRLINES INC. (the “Corporation”)

(Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Exhibit G have the meaning ascribed to them in the Share Subscription Agreement to which this Exhibit G is attached)

In connection with the execution by GYBL of the Share Subscription Agreement of which this Representation Letter forms a part, the GYBL hereby represents, warrants, covenants and certifies to the Corporation and its counsel, that:

It has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Common Shares and it is able to bear the economic risk of loss of its entire investment.

 

2.

It has received, for informational purposes only, a copy of the Subscription Agreement relating to the offering in the United States of the Common Shares.

3.

It is acquiring the Common Shares as principal for its own account, and not with a view to any resale, distribution or other disposition of the Common Shares in violation of United States federal or state securities laws.

The Common Shares are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act, and therefore may not be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred, directly or indirectly, unless they are registered under the U.S. Securities Act or unless an exemption or exclusion from registration thereunder is available.

 

5.

It certifies to the Corporation that it is an Accredited Investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the U.S. Securities Act because GYBL comes within any of the following categories at the time of sale of the Common Shares to that person (please initial or place a mark on the appropriate lines):

 

                   An organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code, a corporation, a Massachusetts or similar business trust, partnership or limited liability company, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Common Shares, with total assets in excess of US$5,000,000;


                  

A trust that (a) has total assets in excess of US$5,000,000, (b) was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Common Shares and (c) is directed in its purchases of Common Shares by a sophisticated person as described in Rule 506(b)(2)(ii) of Regulation D of the U.S. Securities Act;

 

                  

A bank as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the U.S. Securities Act or a savings and loan association or other institution as defined in Section 3(a)(5)(A) of the U.S. Securities Act, whether acting in its individual capacity or fiduciary capacity;

 

                  

A broker or dealer registered pursuant to Section 15 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended;

 

                  

An insurance company as defined in Section 2(a)(13) of the U.S. Securities Act;

6.

It acknowledges that it has not purchased the Common Shares as a result of any form of general solicitation or general advertising (as such terms are used in Regulation D under the U.S. Securities Act), including, without limitation, advertisements, articles, notices or other communications published on the internet or in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over radio, television or other form of telecommunications, or any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by general solicitation or general advertising.


7.

If in the future it decides to offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer any of the Securities, it will not offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer any of such Securities, directly or indirectly, unless:

 

  (a)

the transfer is to the Corporation;

 

  (b)

the transfer is made outside the United States in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 904 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act (“Regulation S”) and in compliance with applicable local laws and regulations;

 

  (c)

the transfer is made pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirement of the U.S. Securities Act provided by (i) Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) to a person it reasonably believes is a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A (“Qualified Institutional Buyer”) that purchases for its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer and to whom notice is given that the offer, sale or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws of the United States, or (ii) Rule 144 thereunder, if available, and, in either case, in accordance with any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws; or

 

  (d)

the Common Shares are transferred in any other transaction that does not require registration under the U.S. Securities Act or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws; and

it has prior to any transfer pursuant to subsection (c)(ii) or (d) (and if required by the Corporation’s registrar and transfer agent for the Common Shares, subsection (b)) furnished to the Corporation (and if applicable, the Corporation’s registrar and transfer agent) an opinion of counsel of recognized standing or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

 

8.

Upon the original issuance of the Common Shares, until such time as it is no longer required under applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, the certificates representing the Common Shares (and any certificates issued in exchange or substitution for the Securities) will bear the legend set forth below:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “U.S. SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING SUCH SECURITIES, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF GLOBAL CROSSING AIRLINES INC. (THE “CORPORATION”) THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ONLY (A) TO THE CORPORATION, (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS, (C) PURSUANT TO THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY (I) RULE 144A UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OR (II) RULE 144 THEREUNDER, IF AVAILABLE, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES, OR (D) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER EXEMPTION OR EXCLUSION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND, IN ANY EVENT, IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES; AND IN THE CASE OF TRANSFERS UNDER CLAUSES (C)(II) OR (D) (OR IF REQUIRED BY THE CORPORATION’S TRANSFER AGENT, CLAUSE (B)), AFTER THE HOLDER HAS FURNISHED TO THE CORPORATION AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OF RECOGNIZED STANDING OR OTHER EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION (AND, IF APPLICABLE, THE CORPORATION’S TRANSFER AGENT) TO THAT EFFECT.


DELIVERY OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT CONSTITUTE “GOOD DELIVERY” IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON STOCK EXCHANGES IN CANADA.”

At the time of transfer outside the United States in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S, a new certificate, which will constitute “good delivery” in settlement of transactions on Canadian stock exchanges, will be made available to GYBL upon provision by GYBL of a declaration in the form attached as Schedule I to this Exhibit G or in such other form that is acceptable to the Corporation and its registrar and transfer agent, together with any other evidence, which may include a legal opinion reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Corporation, required by the Corporation or the registrar and transfer agent for the Common Shares.

The Corporation shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause the registrar and transfer agent of the Corporation to remove the foregoing U.S. legend within five business days (excluding weekends and holidays) of receipt of the foregoing, as applicable.

 

9.

It consents to the Corporation making a notation on its records and it understands and acknowledges that the Corporation has the right to instruct the registrar and transfer agent for the Common Shares not to record a transfer by any person without first being notified by the Corporation that it is satisfied that such transfer is exempt from or not subject to registration under the U.S. Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

 

10.

It understands and acknowledges that Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act is not available for resales of securities of issuers that have ever had (i) no or nominal operations and (ii) no or nominal assets other than cash and cash equivalents. Therefore, if the Corporation were ever to be deemed to be, or to have ever been, such an issuer, Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act may be unavailable for resales of Common Shares, unless and until the Corporation has satisfied the applicable conditions.

 

11.

It understands and acknowledges that the Corporation is not obligated to file and has no present intention of filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or with any state securities administrator any registration statement in respect of resales of the Securities in the United States.

 

12.

It understands and agrees that there may be material tax consequences to GYBL of an acquisition, holding or disposition of the Common Shares. The Corporation gives no opinion and makes no representation with respect to the tax consequences to GYBL under the United States, state, local or foreign tax law of the undersigned’s acquisition, holding or disposition of such Common Shares and GYBL acknowledges that it is solely responsible for determining the tax consequences of its investment. In particular, no determination has been made whether the Corporation is, or will be, a “passive foreign investment company” within the meaning of Section 1291 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

13.

It understands and agrees that the financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and are subject to Canadian auditing and auditor independence standards, each of which differ in some respects from the United States generally accepted accounting principles, auditing standards and auditor independence standards, respectively, and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies.


14.

It is aware that its ability to enforce civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by, among other things, the fact that: (i) the Corporation is organized under the laws of Ontario, Canada; (ii) some of the directors and officers of the Corporation are residents of countries other than the United States; and (iii) a substantial portion of the assets of the Corporation and said persons may be located outside the United States.

 

15.

Upon execution of this Exhibit G by the GYBL, this Exhibit G and Schedule I hereto shall be incorporated into and form a part of the Share Subscription Agreement to which this Exhibit G is attached.

RE:

Sale of Common Shares represented by certificate number

The undersigned (a) acknowledges that the sale of the Common Shares of the Corporation to which this declaration relates is being made in reliance on Rule 904 of Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) and (b) certifies that (1) the undersigned is not an affiliate (as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act) of the Corporation, (2) the offer of such Common Shares was not made to a person in the United States and either (A) at the time the buy order was originated, the buyer was outside the United States, or the seller and any person acting on its behalf reasonably believe that the buyer was outside the United States, or (B) the transaction was executed in, on or through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange or another “designated offshore securities market” as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act and neither the seller nor any person acting on its behalf knows that the transaction has been prearranged with a buyer in the United States, (3) neither the seller nor any affiliate of the seller nor any person acting on any of their behalf has engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts in the United States in connection with the offer and sale of such Common Shares, (4) the sale is bona fide and not for the purpose of “washing off” the resale restrictions imposed because the Common Shares are “restricted securities” (as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act), (5) the seller does not intend to replace the Common Shares sold in reliance on Rule 904 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act with fungible unrestricted securities and (6) the contemplated sale is not a transaction, or part of a series of transactions which, although in technical compliance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act, is part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the U.S. Securities Act. Terms used herein have the meanings given to them by Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act.
