Section 3. Exercise of Warrant Certificate.

(a) Exercise Procedure. This Warrant Certificate may be exercised from time to time on any Trading Day during the Exercise Period, for all or any part of the unexercised Warrant Securities, upon:

(i) delivery to the Issuer at its registered office of an Exercise Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, an “Exercise Certificate”), duly completed (including specifying the number of Warrant Securities to be purchased) and executed;

(ii) payment to the Issuer of the Aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with Section 3(b); and

(iii) delivery to the Issuer of any other documentation required by the Transfer Agent in connection with exercise of this Warrant Certificate or the issuance of the applicable Warrant Securities.

(b) Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price. Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall be made, at the option of the Holder as expressed in the Exercise Certificate, by any of the following methods:

(i) by delivery to the Issuer of a certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Issuer or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Issuer, in the amount of such Aggregate Exercise Price; or

(ii) in lieu of payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price in the manner as specified in Section 3(b)(i), but otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Section 3, by electing to surrender in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Securities then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate a number of Warrant Securities equal in value to the Aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrant Securities being purchased, in which case, the Issuer shall instruct the Transfer Agent to issue to the Holder such number of Warrant Securities in book entry form and Holder shall irrevocably surrender for no value the number of Warrant Securities subject to this Warrant Certificate as are computed using the following formula:

X = Y[(A-B)/A]

where:

X = the number of Warrant Securities to be issued to the Holder;

Y = the number of Warrant Securities with respect to which this Warrant Certificate is being exercised (inclusive of the Warrant Securities subject to this Warrant Certificate surrendered to the Issuer in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price);

A = Fair Market Value per Warrant Security as of the Exercise Date;

 

6


B = the Exercise Price; and

Y-X = the number of Warrant Securities subject to this Warrant Certificate to be irrevocably surrendered for no value by the Holder in exchange for X number of Warrant Securities.

In the event of any withholding or surrender of Warrant Securities pursuant to Section 3(b)(ii) (solely to the extent of such withholding or surrender, a “Cashless Exercise”) where the number of equity securities whose value is equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price is not a whole number, the number of equity securities or equivalent interests withheld by or surrendered to the Issuer shall be rounded up to the nearest whole equity security or equivalent interest and the Issuer shall make a cash payment to the Holder (by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) based on the incremental fraction of an equity security or equivalent interest being so withheld by or surrendered to the Issuer in an amount equal to the product of (x) such incremental fraction of an equity security or equivalent interest being so withheld or surrendered multiplied by (y) in the case of Common Shares, the Fair Market Value per Warrant Security as of the Exercise Date.

For purposes of Rule 144, to the extent permitted by applicable law, it is acknowledged and agreed that (i) the Warrant Securities issuable upon any exercise of this Warrant Certificate in any Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired on the applicable Issue Date, and (ii) the holding period for any Warrant Securities issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate in any Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have commenced on the applicable Issue Date; provided that the Issuer makes no representation or warranty regarding the commencement of the holding period of any Warrant Securities or the availability of Rule 144 (or any equivalent rule).

(c) Delivery of Warrant Securities.

(i) Following any Exercise Date, the Issuer shall, on or before the applicable Delivery Deadline, issue and deliver (or cause its Transfer Agent to issue and deliver) in accordance with the terms hereof to or upon the order of the Holder that number Warrant Securities for the portion of this Warrant Certificate so exercised on such Exercise Date in book entry form, and shall register (or cause its Transfer Agent to register) such securities in the register of members of the Issuer in the name of the Holder or, subject to compliance with Section 8, in such other Person’s name as shall be designated in the Exercise Certificate. If requested in writing by the Holder, the Issuer shall deliver to the Holder evidence of the issuance of the Warrant Securities purchased in connection with such exercise in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Holder. This Warrant Certificate shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Warrant Securities shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Securities for all purposes, as of the applicable Issue Date.

(ii) If, at the time of exercise, the Issuer has a Transfer Agent, then upon the exercise this Warrant Certificate in whole or in part, the Issuer shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including obtaining and delivering an opinion of counsel, to assure that the Transfer Agent shall issue Warrant Securities in the name of the Holder (or its nominee) or

 

7


such other Persons as designated by the Holder (in compliance with Section 8) and in such denominations to be specified in the applicable Exercise Certificate. The Issuer represents and warrants that no instructions other than the foregoing instructions will be given to the Transfer Agent and that, if the Unrestricted Conditions are met, the Warrant Securities will be free-trading, and freely transferable, and will not contain a legend restricting the resale or transferability of the Warrant Securities.

(iii) In addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event of any Delivery Failure relating to the issuance of Warrant Securities upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate, the Holder will be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Exercise Certificate by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Issuer whereupon the Issuer and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such Exercise Certificate.

(d) Fractional Warrant Securities. The Issuer may issue fractional Warrant Securities in accordance with the Bye-Laws.

(e) Surrender of this Warrant Certificate; Delivery of New Warrant Certificate.

(i) Subject to Section 3(e)(ii), the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant Certificate to the Issuer until the Holder has purchased (or acquired or surrendered pursuant to a Cashless Exercise) all of the Warrant Securities available hereunder and this Warrant Certificate has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall, at the written request of the Issuer, surrender this Warrant Certificate to the Issuer for cancellation within three (3) Business Days after the date the final Exercise Certificate is delivered to the Issuer. Partial exercises of this Warrant Certificate resulting in purchases (or acquisition pursuant to a Cashless Exercise) of a portion of the total number of Warrant Securities available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Securities purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Securities purchased (or acquired or surrendered pursuant to a Cashless Exercise). The Holder and the Issuer shall maintain (or cause to be maintained, including through a Transfer Agent) records showing the number of Warrant Securities purchased, otherwise acquired or surrendered and the date of such purchases, other acquisitions or surrenders. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant Certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this Section 3(e), following the purchase (or acquisition or surrender pursuant to a Cashless Exercise) of a portion of the Warrant Securities hereunder, the number of Warrant Securities available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may request that the Issuer (and the Issuer shall), following Holder’s surrender of this Warrant Certificate to the Issuer, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unexpired and unexercised Warrant Securities called for by this Warrant Certificate. Unless otherwise agreed upon by the Holder in its sole discretion, such new Warrant Certificate shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant Certificate.

(f) Valid Issuance of Warrant Certificate and Warrant Securities; Payment of Taxes; Covenants. The Issuer hereby represents, covenants and agrees as of the date hereof, as of each subsequent Issue Date, and as of the Tranche C Borrowing Date (each as defined in the Credit Agreement):

(i) The transactions contemplated by this Warrant Certificate are within the Issuer’s organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Issuer and, if required, by all necessary shareholder action. This Warrant Certificate has been duly executed and delivered by the Issuer and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer, enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general applicability affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and (B) the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(ii) This Warrant Certificate is, and any Warrant Certificate issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant Certificate delivered in accordance with Section 3(e)(ii) shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued.

(iii) All Warrant Securities issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate (or any substitute or replacement Warrant Certificate delivered in accordance with Section 3(e)(ii)) pursuant to the terms hereof shall be, upon issuance, and the Issuer shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that such Warrant Securities are, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, issued without violation of any preemptive or similar rights of any shareholder of the Issuer and free and clear of all liens, except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or in any lock-up agreement to which the Holder is a party, or under applicable federal and state securities laws.

(iv) The Issuer shall take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all such Warrant Securities are issued without violation by the Issuer of any applicable law or governmental regulation, or any requirements of any Trading Market upon which Common Shares, or other securities constituting Warrant Securities may be listed at the time of such exercise (except for official notice of issuance which shall be promptly delivered by the Issuer upon each such issuance).

(v) Without duplication of any expense reimbursement provisions of the Credit Agreement, the Issuer shall bear and reimburse all of the Holder’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with the evaluation and negotiation of this Warrant Certificate.

(vi) Each of the Issuer on the one hand, and the Holder, on the other bear all of their and their respective Affiliates taxes that may be imposed with respect to the issuance or delivery of Warrant Securities upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate.

(g) Conditional Exercise. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant Certificate is to be made in connection with a Fundamental Change, such exercise may, at the election of the Holder, be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.

 

9


(h) Reservation of Warrant Securities. During the Exercise Period the Issuer shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares or other securities or equivalent interests constituting Warrant Securities, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate, the maximum number of Warrant Securities issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate. The Issuer shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate without the need for the passing of any further resolutions of its shareholders or obtaining any further consents from any party.

(i) Delivery of Electronic Securities. To the extent the Unrestricted Conditions are satisfied with respect to the Warrant Securities to be issued to the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Transfer Agent to electronically transmit such Warrant Securities to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. The time periods for delivery and penalties described herein shall apply to the electronic transmittals described herein. Any delivery not effected by electronic transmission shall be effected by delivery of physical certificates.

(j) Make Whole. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if, as a result of a Delivery Failure in respect of Warrant Securities, the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Warrant Securities to deliver in satisfaction of a sale anticipated to be made by the Holder of all or portion of such Warrant Securities which are the subject of such Delivery Failure (an “Anticipated Sale”), then the Issuer shall (i) pay to the Holder, in cash, an amount equal to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Holder in covering the trade (including reasonable and documented brokerage fees, if any), and (ii) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of this Warrant Certificate and equivalent number of Warrant Securities in respect of which such Delivery Failure occurred, or deliver to the Holder the number of Warrant Securities that would have been issued had the Issuer timely complied with its obligations hereunder to issue such Warrant Securities upon such exercise. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3(j) is intended as a “make whole” and shall not be interpreted in any manner that would result in the Holder being in a better economic position following application of the provisions of this Section 3(j) than if there had not been a Delivery Failure. Holder shall provide the Issuer written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Issuer. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to any Delivery Failure.

(k) Dispute Resolution. In the case of any dispute as to the determination of Fair Market Value =, the arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price or any other computation required to be made hereunder, in the event the Holder and the Issuer, negotiating in good faith, are unable to settle such dispute within five (5) Business Days (or such longer period as the parties may agree), then either party may elect to submit the disputed matter(s) for resolution by an independent accountant, appraiser or investment bank (with relevant experience) acceptable to the other party. Such independent party’s determination of such disputed matter(s) shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error, and the Issuer and the Holder shall each pay one half of the fees and costs of such independent party.

 

10


(l) Automatic Exercise at Expiration or Liquidation. If a Liquidation occurs with respect to the Issuer at any time prior to the expiration of the Exercise Period and there remain any Warrant Securities subject to this Warrant Certificate, or if immediately prior to the expiration of the Exercise Period there remain any Warrant Securities subject to this Warrant Certificate, this Warrant Certificate shall be deemed to be automatically exercised in full for the full number of remaining Warrant Securities, without the requirement for the delivery of an Exercise Certificate, and if the automatic exercise is in connection with a Liquidation, the Holder shall receive its pro rata share of the proceeds from such Liquidation as if the Warrant Securities were outstanding immediately prior to the Liquidation (subject to set-off against the Aggregate Exercise Price); provided that, unless the giving of notice is not practicable due to the circumstances of the Liquidation, the Issuer shall give the Holder notice of any pending Liquidation as soon as practicable but in any event not less than 10 Business Days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Liquidation and if the Holder does not wish to automatically have this Warrant Certificate exercised, the Holder may opt out of such automatic exercise by written notice to the Issuer in advance of the consummation of the Liquidation.

(m) Treatment of Warrant Certificate Upon Acquisition of Issuer.

(i) For the purpose of this Warrant Certificate, “Acquisition” means any transaction or series of related transactions involving: (w) the sale, lease, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer to one or more third parties not Controlled by the Issuer; (x) any amalgamation, merger or consolidation of the Issuer into or with another Person or entity (other than an amalgamation, merger or consolidation effected exclusively to change the Issuer’s domicile), or any other reorganization, in which the shareholders of the Issuer immediately prior to such amalgamation, merger, consolidation or reorganization, own less than a majority of the Issuer’s (or the amalgamated company, surviving or successor entity’s) outstanding voting power immediately after such amalgamation, merger, consolidation or reorganization; and (y) any sale or other transfer by the shareholders of the Issuer to one or more Persons or group of Persons not Controlled by the Issuer of equity securities or equivalent interests representing a majority of the Issuer’s then-total outstanding combined voting power.

(ii) In the event of an Acquisition in which the consideration to be received by the Issuer’s shareholders consists solely of cash (a “Cash Acquisition”), either (x) Holder shall exercise this Warrant Certificate pursuant to Section 3 and such exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of such Cash Acquisition or (y) if Holder elects not to exercise the Warrant, this Warrant will expire immediately prior to the consummation of such Cash Acquisition.

(iii) The Issuer shall provide Holder with written notice of its request relating to the Cash Acquisition (together with such information as Holder may reasonably require regarding the treatment of this Warrant in connection with such contemplated Cash Acquisition giving rise to such notice), which is to be delivered to Holder not less than 10 days prior to the closing of the proposed Cash Acquisition unless the giving of such notice is not legally permissible in connection with such Cash Acquisition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, immediately prior to the Cash

 

11


Acquisition, the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Security would be greater than the Exercise Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be exercised pursuant a Cashless Exercise with respect to all Warrant Securities for which it shall not previously have been exercised, and the Issuer shall promptly notify the Holder of the number of Common Shares (or such other securities) issued upon such exercise to the Holder.

(iv) Upon the closing of any Acquisition other than a Cash Acquisition, the acquiring, surviving or successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for the same securities and/or other property as would have been paid for the Warrant Securities issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Warrant Securities were outstanding on and as of the closing of such Acquisition, subject to further adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.

(n) Holders Exercise Limitations. The Issuer shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to this Section 3 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Exercise Certificate, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Common Share equivalents beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of Common Share equivalents issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Common Share equivalents which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates, and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Issuer (including, without limitation, any other Common Share equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3(n), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Issuer is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 3(n) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of an Exercise Certificate shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Issuer shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 3(n), in determining the number of outstanding Common Shares, Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as reflected in the most recent public announcement by the Issuer. Upon the written request of a Holder, the Issuer shall within five (5) Business Days confirm orally

 

12


and in writing to the Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Issuer, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding Common Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of Common Shares and Common Share equivalents outstanding immediately after giving effect to the applicable issuance of Warrant Securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant if at the time of exercise the Issuer is a “reporting issuer” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(n) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

(o) Holder Cancellation Right. Notwithstanding the other rights granted to Holder herein, so long as the Holder of this Warrant Certificate is a Perceptive Fund, then following a Fund Administration Event (as defined below), the Holder shall have the right (the “Cancellation Right”), without the consent of the Issuer or any other Person, to irrevocably cancel and render void this Warrant Certificate and all of the Holder’s rights and the Issuer’s obligations hereunder shall survive the cancellation. The Holder may exercise its Cancellation Right by written notice to the Issuer (the “Cancellation Notice”), which notice shall specify the circumstances of the Fund Administration Event. The cancellation contemplated by this Section 3(o) shall be effective as of the date specified in the Cancellation Notice and the Holder shall remain liable for all obligations and liabilities as Holder of this Warrant Certificate through such effective date specified in the Cancellation Notice. As used in this Section 3(o), Fund Administration Event” means that the Holder has entered its wind down phase and the Holder has reasonably determined in good faith that the value of this Warrant Certificate is de minimis. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Perceptive Fund is no longer the Holder of this Warrant Certificate, the rights under this Section 3(o) shall automatically terminate.

Section 4. Adjustments. In order to prevent dilution of the Purchase Rights granted under this Warrant Certificate, the number of Warrant Securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 4.

(a) Other Dividends and Distributions. If the Issuer shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, make or declare, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of equity securities or equivalent interests entitled to receive, a dividend or any other distribution payable in cash, securities or interests of the Issuer (other than a dividend or distribution of Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities in respect of outstanding equity securities or equivalent interests of the Issuer) or other property, then, and in each such event, the Issuer shall ensure that provisions are made so that the Holder shall receive upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate, in addition to the number of Warrant Securities receivable thereupon, the kind and amount of cash, securities or interests of the Issuer or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Warrant Certificate been exercised in full into Warrant Securities on the date of such event and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Exercise Date, retained such cash, securities, interests or other property receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the Holder.

 

13


(b) Adjustment to Number of Warrant Securities Upon Dividend, Subdivision or Combination of Common Shares. If the Issuer shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, (i) pay a bonus issue, dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Shares (or other shares of the Issuer’s share capital into which this Warrant is then exercisable) payable in Common Shares (or other shares of the Issuer’s share capital into which this Warrant is then exercisable) or in Options or Convertible Securities, or (ii) subdivide (by any equity split or equivalent interest split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding Common Shares (or other shares of the Issuer’s share capital into which this Warrant is then exercisable) into a greater number of shares, the number of Warrant Securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate immediately prior to any such bonus issue, dividend, distribution or subdivision shall be proportionately increased and the Exercise Price applicable to each such Warrant Security shall be proportionately decreased. If the Issuer at any time combines (by combination, consolidation, reverse equity split or otherwise) its outstanding Common Shares (or other shares of the Issuer’s share capital into which this Warrant is then exercisable) into a smaller number of shares, the number of Warrant Securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately decreased and the Exercise Price applicable to each such Warrant Security shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section 4(b) shall become automatically effective upon the effectiveness of such bonus issue, dividend, subdivision, consolidation or combination.

(c) Adjustment to Number of Warrant Securities Upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Amalgamations or Merger.

(i) Unless the Holder otherwise consents (in its sole discretion), the event of any (A) capital reorganization of the Issuer, (B) reclassification of the equity securities or equivalent interests of the Issuer (other than as a result of a bonus issue, dividend or subdivision, split-up, consolidation or combination of equity securities or equivalent interests already covered by this Section 4), (C) Fundamental Change or (D) other similar transaction (other than a Cash Acquisition covered by Section 3(m) (Treatment of Warrant Upon an Acquisition), or an event covered by Section 4(b) (Adjustment Upon Dividend, Subdivision, or Combination of Common Shares)), including a Liquidation or an acquisition, amalgamation, merger, or other transaction in which the Warrant Certificate is not exercised, in each case which entitles the holders of Common Shares (or other shares of the Issuer’s share capital into which this Warrant is then exercisable) to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) securities, interests or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Shares (or other shares of the Issuer’s share capital into which this Warrant is then exercisable):

(1) this Warrant Certificate shall, immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale or similar transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Warrant Securities then exercisable under this Warrant Certificate, be exercisable for the kind and number of equity securities or equivalent interest or other assets of the Issuer or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale or similar

 

14


transaction if the Holder had exercised this Warrant Certificate in full immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale or similar transaction and acquired the applicable number of Warrant Securities then issuable hereunder as a result of such exercise (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant Certificate); and

(2) appropriate adjustment (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and Issuer) shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant Certificate to insure that the provisions of this Section 4 shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to this Warrant Certificate in relation to any securities or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate.

The provisions of this Section 4(c) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, amalgamations, mergers, sales or similar transactions.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any event or other transaction contemplated by this Section 4(c), the Holder shall have the right to elect, upon written notice delivered to the Issuer prior to the consummation of such event or transaction, to exercise its rights under Section 2 instead of giving effect to Section 4(c)(i).

(d) Certain Events. Upon the occurrence of any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 4 but not expressly provided for herein, the Issuer shall make an appropriate adjustment in the number of Warrant Securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate and the Exercise Price applicable thereto so as to protect the rights of the Holder in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 4.

(e) Certificate as to Adjustment.

(i) As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the number of Warrant Securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate, but in any event not later than five Business Days thereafter, the Issuer shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer of the Issuer setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.

(ii) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Issuer of a written request by the Holder, but in any event not later than five Business Days thereafter, the Issuer shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer of the Issuer certifying the number of Warrant Securities for which this Warrant Certificate is exercisable, or the amount, if any, of other securities, interests or assets then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate.

(f) Notices. In the event that the Issuer shall take a record of the holders of its Common Shares (or other securities or interests at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate):

(i) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, to vote at a meeting (or by written consent), to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any securities or interests, or to receive any other security; or

 

15


(ii) approving or enabling any reorganization or restructuring of the Issuer, any reclassification of the Common Shares or any Fundamental Change;

then, and in each such case, the Issuer shall, to the extent legally permissible and reasonably practicable, send or cause to be sent to the Holder at least ten (10) days prior to the applicable record date or the applicable expected effective date, as the case may be, for the event, a written notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the record date for such dividend, distribution, meeting or consent or other right or action, and a description of such dividend, distribution or other right or action to be taken at such meeting or by written consent, or (B) the effective date on which such Fundamental Change is proposed to take place, and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the books of the Issuer shall close or a record shall be taken with respect to which the holders of record of Common Shares (or such other securities or interests at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate) shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares (or such other securities or interests) for securities, interests or other property deliverable upon such Fundamental Change, and the amount per equity security or equivalent interest and character of such exchange applicable to this Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Securities.

Section 5. Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 4, if at any time the Issuer grants the right to purchase, or otherwise issues or sells any Common Shares, Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase securities, interests or other property pro rata to the record holders of Common Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder shall be entitled (but not required) to acquire, upon the same terms applicable to the record holders of Common Shares, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder would have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Warrant Securities acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant Certificate immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

Section 6. [Reserved]

Section 7. Warrant Register. The Issuer shall keep and properly maintain (or cause to be kept and maintained, including through a Transfer Agent) a register (the “Warrant Register”) for the registration of this Warrant Certificate and any transfers thereof. The Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Warrant Certificate is registered on such register as the holder thereof for all purposes, and the Issuer shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, except any assignment, division, combination or other transfer of this Warrant Certificate effected in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant Certificate.

Section 8. Transfer of Warrant Certificate and Warrant Securities.

(a) Subject to the final sentence of this Section 8(a) and to the extent the Unrestricted Conditions are satisfied, this Warrant Certificate and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, by the Holder without the prior consent of any other Person. Any transfer of this Warrant Certificate and the rights hereunder shall be made without charge to the Holder, upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate to the Issuer at its then registered office with a properly completed and duly executed Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Upon such compliance, surrender and delivery, the Issuer shall execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant

 

16


Certificates in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the portion of this Warrant Certificate, if any, not so assigned and this Warrant Certificate shall promptly be cancelled. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 8(a) shall limit the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Registration Agreement, including the lock up agreements applicable to the Warrant Securities contemplated in Section 4 of the Registration Agreement.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) In connection with any transfer of this Warrant Certificate, and in addition to any other applicable requirements of this Section 8, Holder will give the Issuer notice of the portion of this Warrant Certificate being transferred with the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the transferee and Holder will surrender this Warrant Certificate to the Issuer for reissuance to the transferee(s) (and Holder if applicable); and provided further, that any subsequent transferee shall agree in writing with the Issuer to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Warrant Certificate.

Section 9. The Holder Not Deemed an Equity Holder; Limitations on Liability; Information Rights. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Securities to which the Holder is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant Certificate, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Shares of the Issuer or otherwise have any rights as a holder of Common Shares for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant Certificate be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of an equity holder of the Issuer or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any action (whether any reorganization, issuance of securities, reclassification of securities, consolidation, amalgamation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant Certificate shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities or interests (upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate or otherwise) or as an equity holder of the Issuer, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Issuer or by creditors of the Issuer. Notwithstanding this Section 9, the Issuer shall promptly provide the Holder with copies of any notices or other information provided to the Issuer’s shareholders that are not otherwise made publicly available. To the extent that the Holder is or becomes aware of any breach by the Issuer of the provisions of this Section 9, the Holder shall provide the Issuer with prompt written notice thereof and the Issuer shall be afforded a commercially reasonable period of time to cure such breach. This Section 9 shall survive the exercise of this Warrant Certificate for so long as the Holder holds any Warrant Securities.

Section 10. Replacement on Loss; Division and Combination.

(a) Replacement of Warrant Certificate on Loss. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate and upon delivery of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer (it being understood that a written indemnification agreement or affidavit of loss of the Holder shall be a sufficient indemnity) and, in case of mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant Certificate for cancellation to the Issuer, the Issuer (at the Holder’s expense) shall execute and deliver to the Holder, in lieu hereof, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and exercisable for an equivalent number of Warrant Securities as this Warrant Certificate so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed; provided that, in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant Certificate in identifiable form is surrendered to the Issuer for cancellation.

 

17


(b) Division and Combination of Warrant Certificate. Subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant Certificate as to any transfer or other assignment which may be involved in such division or combination, this Warrant Certificate may be divided or, following any such division of this Warrant Certificate, subsequently combined with other Warrant Certificates, upon the surrender of this Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates to the Issuer at its then registered office, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrant Certificates are to be issued, signed by the respective Holders or their agents or attorneys. Subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant Certificate as to any transfer or assignment which may be involved in such division or combination, the Issuer shall at its expense execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates in exchange for this Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates so surrendered in accordance with such notice. Such new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates shall be of like tenor to the surrendered Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates and shall be exercisable in the aggregate for an equivalent number of Warrant Securities as this Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates so surrendered in accordance with such notice.

Section 11. No Impairment. The Issuer shall not, by amendment of any of its organizational documents, through any securityholder, voting or similar agreement, or through any reorganization, restructuring, transfer of assets, consolidation, amalgamation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or interests, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant Certificate and in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the Holder in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of this Warrant Certificate.

Section 12. Compliance with the Securities Act.

(a) Agreement to Comply with the Securities Act, etc.

(i) Legend. The Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant Certificate, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 12 and the restrictive legend requirements set forth on the face of this Warrant Certificate and further agrees that such Holder shall not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant Certificate or any Warrant Securities to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Securities Act. Subject to clause (ii) below, this Warrant Certificate and all Warrant Securities issued upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate (unless registered under the Securities Act) may be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE ”ACT“), OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE OR

 

18


FOREIGN SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED UNLESS (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE ACT AND IS QUALIFIED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE AND FOREIGN LAW OR (II) THE TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE ACT AND THE QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER APPLICABLE STATE AND FOREIGN LAW AND, IF THE ISSUER REQUESTS, AN OPINION SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO SUCH EFFECT HAS BEEN RENDERED BY COUNSEL. THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE FOR A PERIOD OF 180 DAYS FOLLOWING MARCH 7, 2025 PURSUANT TO A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER.”

(ii) Removal of Restrictive Legends. To the extent this Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Securities or any other equity securities issuable or deliverable under or in connection with this Warrant Certificate are not then subject to any restrictions on transferability and resale pursuant to any lock-up agreement, neither this Warrant Certificate nor any book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, evidencing Warrant Securities or any other equity securities issuable or deliverable under or in connection with this Warrant Certificate shall contain any legend restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend set forth above in clause (i)) in any of the following circumstances: (A) while a registration statement covering the sale or resale of Warrant Securities is effective under the Securities Act, (B) following any sale of this Warrant Certificate, any Warrant Securities issued or delivered to the Holder under or in connection here with pursuant to Rule 144, (C) if this Warrant Certificate or Warrant Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1), or (D) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). The Issuer shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent if required by such Transfer Agent to effect the issuance of Warrant Securities or any other equity securities issuable or deliverable under or in connection with this Warrant Certificate, as applicable, without a restrictive legend or removal of the legend hereunder. If the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the time of issuance of this Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Securities or such other equity securities, then this Warrant Certificate, Warrant Securities or other equity securities, as the case may be, shall be issued free of all legends.

(iii) Replacement Warrant Certificate. The Issuer agrees that at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions have been satisfied it shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) following written request from the Holder issue a replacement Warrant Certificate or replacement Warrant Securities, as the case may be, free of all restrictive legends.

 

19


(iv) Sale of Unlegended Securities. The Holder agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from this Warrant Certificate and any book-entry position or certificates, as applicable, representing securities as set forth in Section 12(a)(ii) above is predicated upon the Issuer’s reliance that the Holder will sell this Warrant Certificate or any such securities pursuant to either an effective registration statement or otherwise pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.

(b) Representations of the Holder. In connection with the issuance of this Warrant Certificate, the Holder specifically represents, as of the date hereof, to the Issuer by acceptance of this Warrant Certificate as follows:

(i) The Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Holder is acquiring this Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Securities to be issued upon exercise hereof for investment for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant Certificate or the Warrant Securities, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act and otherwise permitted pursuant to this Warrant Certificate.

(ii) The Holder understands and acknowledges that this Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Securities to be issued upon exercise hereof are “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Issuer in a transaction not involving a public offering and that, under such laws and applicable regulations, such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In addition, the Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

(iii) The Holder acknowledges that it can bear the economic and financial risk of its investment for an indefinite period, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in this Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Securities. The Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Issuer regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of this Warrant Certificate and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Issuer.

Section 13. [Reserved].

Section 14. Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by e-mail of a PDF document (with confirmation of transmission) if sent on a Business Day during or before normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient or on a day that is not a Business Day; or (d) on the third day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Such communications must be sent to the respective parties at the addresses indicated below (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 14).

No waiver by the Issuer or the Holder of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Warrant Certificate shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

Section 22. Severability. If any term or provision of this Warrant Certificate is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Warrant Certificate or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 23. Governing Law. This Warrant Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of New York.

Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Warrant Certificate or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the city of New York and County of New York, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding.

EACH OF THE ISSUER AND THE HOLDER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
