WARRANTS TO PURCHASE

COMMON SHARES OF UR-ENERGY INC.

 

Warrant Certificate Number: PP2013 -<*> Number of Warrants:<*> 

   

void after 5.00 P.M. ( mountain time ) on December 19, 2016

 

THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT for value received <*> (the " Warrantholder ") has the right to purchase in respect of each whole warrant (individually a " Warrant " and collectively the " Warrants ") represented by this certificate or by a replacement certificate (in either case this " Warrant Certificate "), at any time up to 5:00 p.m. Mountain time, on December 19, 2016, (the " Expiry Time ") one fully paid and non-assessable common share (individually a " Common Share " and collectively the “ Common Shares ”), which term shall include any shares or other securities to be issued in addition thereto or in substitution or replacement therefor as provided herein) of Ur-Energy Inc. (the " Corporation "), a corporation continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act and having company number 437428-2, as constituted on the date hereof at a purchase price (the purchase price in effect from time to time being called the " Exercise Price ") of US$1.35 per Common Share, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

The Corporation agrees that the Common Shares purchased or received pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants (“ Warrant Shares ”) shall be and be deemed to be issued to the Warrantholder as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant Certificate shall have been surrendered and payment has been made for such Common Shares as aforesaid or a notice of net issuance exercise has been duly executed and delivered in compliance with subsection 1(2), as the case may be.

 

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

 

 
 

 

The above provisions are subject to the following:

 

1. Method of Exercise :

 

(1) Cash Exercise Right: These Warrants may be exercised by the Warrantholder at any time before the Expiry Time by:

 

(a) completing to the extent possible in the manner indicated and executing an exercise form in the form attached as Schedule A to this Warrant Certificate;

 

(b) surrendering this Warrant Certificate and the net issuance notice form attached as Schedule B to this Warrant Certificate to the Corporation in accordance with section 11 hereof; and

 

(c) (i) paying the amount payable on the exercise of such Warrants in respect of the Common Shares subscribed for either by certified cheque or bank draft payable to the Corporation or by transmitting same day funds by wire or other similar transfer in lawful money of Canada to such account as the Corporation shall direct the Warrantholder; or (ii) if an effective registration statement is not then effective and available registering for resale under the 1933 Act the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the holder may elect a Cashless Exercise as provided below..

 

Upon such surrender and payment as aforesaid, the Warrantholder shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of record of the number of Common Shares to be so issued and the Warrantholder shall be entitled to delivery of a certificate or certificates representing such Common Shares and the Corporation shall cause such certificate or certificates to be delivered to the Warrantholder at the address specified in the exercise form as soon as reasonably practicable and, at any rate, within five business days after such surrender and payment as aforesaid. No fractional Common Shares will be issuable upon any exercise of the Warrants and the Warrantholder will not be entitled to any cash payment or compensation in lieu of a fractional Common Share.

 

(2) Net Issuance Right: Despite the payment provisions described above and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Warrantholder may, in its sole discretion, if, and only if, an effective registration statement is not then effective and available registering the Warrant Shares for resale under the 1933 Act, the Warrantholder, may elect to convert all or a portion of this Warrant into Common Shares, by:

 

(d) completing to the extent possible in the manner indicated and executing a notice of net issuance exercise in the form attached as Schedule B to this Warrant Certificate; and

 

(e) surrendering this Warrant Certificate and the exercise form to the Corporation in accordance with section 11 hereof.

 

2
 

 

Upon such surrender as aforesaid, the Corporation will issue to the Warrantholder the number of Warrant Shares of the Corporation equal to the result obtained by (a) subtracting B from A, (b) multiplying the difference by C, and (c) dividing the product by A as set out in the following equation:

 

X = ((A-B) x C)/A where:

 

X = the number of Common Shares issuable on net issuance exercise pursuant to the provisions of this subsection 1(2).

 

A = the Current Market Price (as defined below) of one Warrant Share on the date of net issuance exercise

 

B = the Exercise Price for one Common Share under this Warrant Certificate (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 4 hereof)

 

C = the number of Common Shares as to which this Warrant is exercisable pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant Certificate or, if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of this Warrant being exercised as set out in the notice of net issuance exercise.

 

If the foregoing calculation results in a negative number, then no Common Shares shall be issued on net issuance exercise pursuant to this subsection 1(2).

 

On net issuance exercise in accordance with this subsection 1(2), the Warrantholder shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of record of the number of Common Shares to be so issued and the Warrantholder shall be entitled to delivery of a certificate or certificates representing such Common Shares and the Corporation shall cause such certificate or certificates to be delivered to the Warrantholder at the address specified in the notice of net issuance exercise as soon as reasonably practicable and, at any rate, within five business days after such surrender as aforesaid. No fractional Common Shares will be issuable upon any exercise of the Warrants and the Warrantholder will not be entitled to any cash payment or compensation in lieu of a fractional Common Share

 

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

 

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

(a) If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(iv) consolidate the outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of Common Shares;

 

(any of such events in subclauses 6(2)(a)(i), 6(2)(a)(ii), 6(2)(a)(iii) and 6(2)(a)(iv) above being herein called a " Common Share Reorganization "), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted on the earlier of the record date on which holders of Common Shares are determined for the purposes of the Common Share Reorganization and the effective date of the Common Share Reorganization to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date or effective date, as the case may be, by a fraction:

 

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

 

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

 

5
 

 

To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this clause 6(2)(a) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the distribution of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exchange or conversion right to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiry and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right. Any Warrantholder who has not exercised his right to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares on or prior to the record date of such stock dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision or consolidation, as the case may be, upon the exercise of such right thereafter shall be entitled to receive and shall accept in lieu of the number of Common Shares then subscribed for or purchased by such Warrantholder, at the Exercise Price determined in accordance with this clause 6(2)(a) the aggregate number of Common Shares that such Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Common Share Reorganization, if, on such record date or effective date, as the case may be, such Warrantholder had been the holder of record of the number of Common Shares so subscribed for or purchased.

 

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

 

(i) the numerator of which shall be the aggregate of

 

A. the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date for the Rights Offering, and

 

B. the quotient determined by dividing

 

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

 

(2) the Current Market Price as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and

 

6
 

 

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

 

If by the terms of the rights, options, or warrants referred to in this clause 6(2)(b), there is more than one purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, the aggregate price of the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase, or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered, shall be calculated for purposes of the adjustment on the basis of the lowest purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, as the case may be. Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such calculation. To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this clause 6(2)(b) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the issue or distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to in this clause 6(2)(b), the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiry and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right.

 

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

 

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

 

(ii) rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares (other than rights, options or warrants proposed to be issued pursuant to a Rights Offering);

 

(iii) evidences of indebtedness of the Corporation; or

 

(iv) any property or assets of the Corporation;

 

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

 

A. the numerator of which shall be the difference between

 

(1) the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price on such record date, and

 

(2) the fair value, as determined by the directors of the Corporation, acting reasonably, of the shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or property or assets to be issued or distributed in the Special Distribution, and

 

7
 

 

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

 

Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of such calculation. To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this clause 6(2)(c) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the issue or distribution of rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares referred to in this clause 6(2)(c), the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exercise, exchange or conversion right to the amount which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares issued and remaining issuable after such expiry and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right.

 

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

 

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

 

(ii) a consolidation, amalgamation, plan of arrangement or merger of the Corporation with or into another body corporate which results in a reclassification or redesignation of the Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other shares or securities;

 

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

 

(any of such events being called a " Capital Reorganization "), after the effective date of the Capital Reorganization the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept, for the same aggregate consideration, upon exercise of the Warrants, in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which the Warrantholder was theretofor entitled upon the exercise of the Warrants, the kind and aggregate number of shares and other securities or property resulting from the Capital Reorganization which the Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the Warrantholder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares which the Warrantholder was theretofore entitled to purchase or receive upon the exercise of the Warrants. If necessary, as a result of any such Capital Reorganization, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant Certificate with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Warrantholder to the end that the provisions shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be possible in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants.

 

(e) If at any time during the Adjustment Period any adjustment or readjustment in the Exercise Price shall occur pursuant to the provisions of clause 6(2)(a), 6(2)(b) or 6(2)(c) of this Warrant Certificate, then the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the subsequent exercise of the Warrants shall be simultaneously adjusted or readjusted, as the case may be, by multiplying the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment or readjustment.

 

8
 

 

(f) In the event that the Exercise Price and/or the number of Common Shares issuable to the Warrantholder upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to adjustment as provided for in Section 5(2), then within five business days following the event that resulted in such adjustment, the Corporation shall deliver a new Warrant Certificate to the Warrantholder reflecting such adjusted Exercise Price and/or the number of Common Shares issuable to the Warrantholder upon the exercise of the Warrants, as applicable, in exchange for the previous Warrant Certificate delivered by the Warrantholder to the Corporation.

 

(3) Rules : The following rules and procedures shall be applicable to adjustments made pursuant to subsection 6(2) hereof:

 

(a) Subject to the following clauses of this subsection 6(3), any adjustment made pursuant to subsection 6(2) hereof shall be made successively whenever an event referred to therein shall occur.

 

(b) No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least one per cent in the then Exercise Price and no adjustment shall be made in the number of Common Shares purchasable or issuable on the exercise of the Warrants unless it would result in a change of at least one one-hundredth of a Common Share; provided, however, that any adjustments which except for the provision of this clause 6(3)(b) would otherwise have been required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. Notwithstanding any other provision of subsection 6(2) hereof, no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made which would result in an increase in the Exercise Price or a decrease in the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants (except in respect of the Common Share Reorganization described in subclause 6(2)(a)(iv) hereof or a Capital Reorganization described in subclause 6(2)(d)(ii) hereof).

 

(c) No adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be made pursuant to subsection 6(2) hereof in respect of the issue from time to time of Common Shares pursuant to this Warrant Certificate or pursuant to any stock option, stock purchase or stock bonus plan in effect from time to time for directors, officers or employees of the Corporation and/or any subsidiary of the Corporation and any such issue, and any grant of options in connection therewith, shall be deemed not to be a Common Share Reorganization, a Rights Offering nor any other event described in subsection 6(2) hereof.

 

(d) If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Common Shares, other than an action described in subsection 6(2) hereof, which in the opinion of the Directors, acting reasonably, would have a material adverse effect upon the rights of Warrantholders, either or both the Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time by action by the Directors, in their reasonable discretion, but subject to the prior written consent of the Toronto Stock Exchange (if the Common Shares are listed thereon) or such other stock exchange on which the Common Shares may be listed, as may be equitable in the circumstances. Failure of the taking of action by the Directors so as to provide for an adjustment prior to the effective date of any action by the Corporation affecting the Common Shares shall be deemed to be conclusive evidence that the Directors have determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances.

 

9
 

 

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

 

(f) In any case in which this Warrant Certificate shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to in subsection 6(2) hereof, the Corporation may defer, until the occurrence of such event:

provided, that if the Common Shares are being sold under clause (B) above, at a time when the Corporation is a "foreign issuer", as defined in Rule 902 under the 1933 Act, the legend may be removed by providing a declaration to the transfer agent of the Corporation in the form attached as Schedule C hereto or such other evidence as the Corporation or its transfer agent may from time to time prescribe, which may include an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, to the effect that the sale of the securities is being made in compliance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the 1933 Act.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, certificates evidencing Warrant Shares shall not be required to contain the legend set forth above (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such Warrant Shares is effective under the 1933 Act, (ii) following any sale of such Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is not an affiliate of the Corporation), (iii) if such Warrant Shares are eligible to be sold, assigned or transferred under Rule 144 (provided that the holder provides the Corporation with reasonable assurances that such Warrant Shares are eligible for sale, assignment or transfer under Rule 144 which shall not include an opinion of counsel), (iv) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer (other than under Rule 144), provided that such holder provides the Corporation with an opinion of counsel to such Investor, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Warrant Shares may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act or (v) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including, without limitation, controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission).

(b) Expenses . The Company will pay all expenses associated with effecting the registration of the Registrable Securities, including filing and printing fees, the Company’s counsel and accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with clearing the Registrable Securities for sale under applicable state securities laws, and listing fees.

(i) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing of the registration statement. The Company shall notify the Investors by facsimile or e-mail as promptly as practicable, and in any event, within forty-eight (48) hours, after any Registration Statement is declared effective and shall simultaneously provide the Investors with copies of any related Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition of the securities covered thereby.

 

(ii) The Company may suspend the use of any Prospectus included in any Registration Statement contemplated by this Section in the event that the Company determines in good faith that such suspension is necessary to (A) delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company or (B) amend or supplement the affected Registration Statement or the related Prospectus so that such Registration Statement or Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the Prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (an “Allowed Suspension”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (a) notify each Investor in writing of the commencement of an Allowed Suspension, but shall not (without the prior written consent of an Investor) disclose to such Investor any material non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Suspension, (b) advise the Investors in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Suspension and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Suspension as promptly as practicable.

In the event that, despite the Company’s best efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 2(d), the SEC refuses to alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from the Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Cut Back Shares”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the SEC may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the “SEC Restrictions”); provided, however, that the Company shall not agree to name any Investor as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of such Investor. Any cut-back imposed on the Investors pursuant to this Section 2(d) shall be allocated among the Investors on a pro rata basis, unless the SEC Restrictions otherwise require or provide or the Investors otherwise agree. From and after the date that the Company is able to effect the registration of such Cut Back Shares in accordance with any SEC Restrictions, all of the provisions of this Section 2 shall again be applicable to such Cut Back Shares and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file a Registration Statement registering the resale of such Cut Back Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any cut back pursuant to this Section 2(d), the Company shall first cut back the Registrable Securities under this Agreement before limiting the inclusion of any of the securities held by RMB Australia Holdings Limited or its designee.

 

(e) Right to Piggyback Registration .

 

(i) If at any time following the date of this Agreement that any Registrable Securities remain outstanding (A) there is not one or more effective Registration Statements covering all of the Registrable Securities and (B) the Company proposes for any reason to register any Common Shares under the 1933 Act (other than pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or a similar or successor form)) with respect to an offering of Common Shares by the Company for its own account or for the account of any of its shareholders, it shall at each such time promptly give written notice to the holders of the Registrable Securities of its intention to do so (but in no event less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date) and, to the extent permitted under the provisions of Rule 415 under the 1933 Act, include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within five (5) days after receipt of the Company’s notice (a “Piggyback Registration”). Such notice shall offer the holders of the Registrable Securities the opportunity to register such number of shares of Registrable Securities as each such holder may request and shall indicate the intended method of distribution of such Registrable Securities. The Company shall include in such Piggyback Registration all or any portion of such Registrable Securities each such holder requests to be registered, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks applicable to all holders of registration rights and subject to the applicable terms of such registration rights.

 

- 3 -
 

 

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) if such registration involves an underwritten public offering, the Investors must sell their Registrable Securities to, if applicable, the underwriter(s) at the same price and subject to the same underwriting discounts and commissions that apply to the other securities sold in such offering (it being acknowledged that the Company shall be responsible for other expenses as set forth in Section 2(b)) and subject to the Investors entering into customary underwriting documentation for selling shareholders in an underwritten public offering, and (B) if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(e)(i) and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to cause such registration statement to become effective under the 1933 Act, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Investors and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 2(e)(ii) shall limit the Company’s liabilities and/or obligations under this Agreement.

 

(iii) If a Piggyback Registration is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriter advises the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities (if any holders of Registrable Securities have elected to include Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Registration) in writing that in its opinion the number of Common Shares proposed to be included in such registration, including all Registrable Securities and all other Common Shares proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of Common Shares which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of Common Shares proposed to be included in any such registration would adversely affect the price per Common Share to be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the number of Common Shares that the Company proposes to sell; (ii) second, the number of Common Shares requested to be included therein by RMB Australia Holdings Limited or its designee; (iii) third, the number of Common Shares requested to be included therein by holders of Registrable Securities, allocated pro rata among all such holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder or in such manner as they may otherwise agree; and (iv) fourth, the number of Common Shares requested to be included therein by holders of Common shares (other than holders of Registrable Securities and RMB Australia Holdings Limited or its designee), allocated among such holders in such manner as they may agree.

 

3. Company Obligations . The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

 

(a) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and to remain continuously effective for a period that will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement as amended from time to time, have been sold, and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold without restriction, other than applicable volume restrictions, pursuant to Rule 144 (the “Effectiveness Period”) and shall advise the Investors in writing when the Effectiveness Period has expired;

 

- 4 -

(c) Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of either (i) the commencement of an Allowed Suspension pursuant to Section 2(c)(ii) or (ii) the happening of an event pursuant to Section 3(h) hereof, such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, until the Investor is advised by the Company that such dispositions may again be made.

 

6. Indemnification.

 

(a) Indemnification by the Company . The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and its officers, directors, members, employees and agents, successors and assigns, and each other person, if any, who controls such Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or omission of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof; (ii) any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company specifically for that purpose or based upon written information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or all of the Registrable Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information herein called a “Blue Sky Application”); (iii) the omission to state in a Blue Sky Application a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (iv) any violation by the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under the 1933 Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration; and will reimburse such Investor, and each such officer, director or member and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided , however , that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon (A) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by or on behalf of such Investor or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or (B) such Investor’s violation of Section 5(c) hereof.

 

(b) Indemnification by the Investors . Each Investor agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, shareholders and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from (i) any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Investor to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) such Investor’s violation of Section 5(c) hereof. In no event shall the liability of an Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Investor in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

- 7 -
 

 

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings . Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided , further , that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

 

(d) Contribution . If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs 6(a) and 6(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

Exhibit A

 

Plan of Distribution

 

The selling shareholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling Common Shares or interests in Common Shares received after the date of this prospectus from a selling shareholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their Common Shares or interests in Common Shares on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

 

The selling shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:

 

· ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

· block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

· purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

· an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

· privately negotiated transactions;

 

· short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;

 

· through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

· broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

· a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

· any other method permitted by applicable law.

 

The selling shareholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Common Shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Common Shares, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus. The selling shareholders also may transfer the Common Shares in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

 
 

 

In connection with the sale of our Common Shares or interests therein, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling shareholders may also sell our Common Shares short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Common Shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The aggregate proceeds to the selling shareholders from the sale of the Common Shares offered by them will be the purchase price of the Common Shares less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling shareholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of Common Shares to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

 

The selling shareholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.

 

The selling shareholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the Common Shares or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling shareholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

 

To the extent required, our Common Shares to be sold, the names of the selling shareholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

 

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the Common Shares may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the Common Shares may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

 

- 2 -
 

 

We have advised the selling shareholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling shareholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling shareholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling shareholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

 

We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.

 

We have agreed with the selling shareholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or (2) the date on which all of the shares may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
