Additional Advances to be made
|
2.01
|
BV hereby agrees to advance up to an additional $4,463,000 to the Company in tranches in accordance with Schedule A attached hereto (individually an “Advance” and collectively “Advances”), with each Advance to be considered a secured loan accruing interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum calculated from the date of each Advance as at May 31 and as at November 30 of each year in which such interest is payable hereunder, such interest to be paid either in cash or in common shares in the capital of the Company as provided for in paragraph 2.02 herein, on or before each of June 30 and December 31 of each year in which such interest is payable hereunder. The Company will repay to BV the principal amount of each Advance as provided for in paragraph 6.01 herein. Advances hereunder will be made in accordance with Schedule A attached hereto. Advances are to be made on the first business day of each month in which Advances are to be made.
|
2.02
|
At BV’s election and in its sole discretion, it may direct that the Company pay the interest owing on the Advances hereunder either in cash or in common shares in its capital stock (“Shares”). Any such election shall be made by BV within ten (10) business days of the date such interest payments become due and payable. If no specific election is made, interest will be paid in Shares, which would be issued at a deemed price per Share equal to the greater of:
|
|
(a)
|
the Discounted Market Price of the Company’s common shares as of the close of the market on the date of the Company’s news release announcing the proposed payment of interest in Shares; and
|
|
(b)
|
the volume weighted average trading price (the “VWAP”) of the Company’s common shares over the twenty (20) trading days prior to the date such interest is calculated (being May 31 and November 30 each year), with the VWAP to be calculated by dividing the total value of common shares of the Company as traded on the Exchange (or on such other stock exchange or quotation system where the majority of the Company’s trading takes place) by the total volume of shares traded, with the amount of interest to be calculated in Canadian funds based on the Exchange Rate as of the date such interest is calculated.
|
2.03
|
The Company shall pay to BV a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of each payment due under this Agreement, or under any other instrument evidencing or securing this Agreement, that is not paid in full within ten (10) days after the applicable due date as provided for in paragraph 6.01 herein. Such late charge shall accrue and be due as of the due date for such payment and represents a reasonable estimate of fair compensation for the loss that may be sustained by BV for the failure of the Company to make timely payment. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to the right of BV to collect any other amounts provided for hereunder or to pursue any other rights and remedies available to BV under this Agreement, under any documents securing and/or guaranteeing this Agreement, at law or in equity.
|
4
2.04
|
All past due principal (whether in due course or by acceleration), past due interest and past due late charges shall, both before and after judgment, bear interest at the default rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum compounded monthly from and after the applicable due date, as provided for in paragraph 6.01 herein, until paid in full.
|
2.05
|
The Company agrees to pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses (regardless of the particular nature thereof and whether incurred before or after the initiation of suit or before or after judgment) which may be incurred by BV in connection with the enforcement of any of its rights under this Agreement and/or any instrument securing or guaranteeing this Agreement, including but not limited to attorney fees and all costs and expenses of collection.
|
2.06
|
The Company, and all sureties, guarantors, and endorsers hereof, severally waive presentment for payment, demand, and notice of dishonor and nonpayment of this Agreement, and consent to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by BV with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Agreement, and to the release of any security, or any part thereof, with or without substitution.
|
2.07
|
Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement or in any instrument given to evidence or secure the obligations evidenced hereby:
|
|
(a)
|
the rates of interest and charges provided for herein and therein shall in no event exceed the rates and charges which would result in interest being charged at a rate equaling the maximum allowed by law; and
|
|
(b)
|
if for any reason whatsoever BV ever receives as interest in connection with the transaction of which this Agreement is a part an amount which would result in interest being charged at a rate exceeding the maximum allowed by law, such amount or portion thereof as would otherwise be excessive interest shall automatically be applied toward reduction of the unpaid principal balance then outstanding hereunder and not toward payment of interest.
|
3.
|
Bonus Shares and Bonus Warrants
|
3.01
|
As additional consideration for the Advances by BV to the Company to be made pursuant to paragraph 2.01 hereof, the Company agrees to issue to or as directed by BV the Bonus Shares and Bonus Warrants referred to in sub-paragraphs 3.01(a) and 3.01(b) herein as follows, with such Bonus Shares and Bonus Warrants to be issued within ten (10) business days of each of June 30 and December 31 of each year in which such securities are to be issued hereunder, with the number of Bonus Shares and Bonus Warrants to be calculated as set forth below:
|
|
(a)
|
that number of Bonus Shares in its capital equal to seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of the amount of the Advance, divided by the Market Price of the Company’s common shares as of the close of business on the date of the
Advance, as adjusted by the Exchange Rate on the date of the Advance, subject to
|
5
|
the minimum price per share and the maximum number of Bonus Shares provided for in Exchange Policy 5.1; and
|
|
(b)
|
non-transferable Bonus Warrants in the form attached as Schedule B, entitling the holder to purchase up to that number of common shares of the Company equal to seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of the amount of the Advance, divided by the Market Price of the Company’s common shares as of the close of business on the date of the Advance, as adjusted by the Exchange Rate on the date of the Advance, subject to the minimum exercise price per share and the maximum number of Bonus Warrants provided for in Exchange Policy 5.1;
|
|
(c)
|
each Bonus Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share in the capital stock of the Company at an exercise price stated in U.S. funds determined by the Exchange Rate on the date of the Advance equal to the greater of:
|
|
(i)
|
the Market Price of the Company’s common shares (subject to the minimum exercise price provided for in Exchange Policy 5.1) as of the close of business on the date of the Advance; and
|
|
(ii)
|
the VWAP of the Company’s common shares over the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to the date of the Advance;
|
|
for a period expiring on the earlier of:
|
|
(A)
|
December 31, 2018; and
|
|
(B)
|
the date the amount of the Advance, together with all accrued interest thereon, has been repaid in full; and
|
|
(d)
|
pursuant to the provisions of subsection 2.2(e) of Exchange Policy 5.1, in the event the amount of the Advance pursuant to which the Bonus Warrants were issued is reduced or repaid during the first year of its term, the number of Bonus Warrants which have not been exercised will, on a pro rata basis, have their term reduced to the later of one year from the date of the issuance of those Bonus Warrants and 30 days from the date of reduction or repayment of that Advance.
|
4.01
|
Notwithstanding the provisions of section 5.01 of the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, as security for the repayment of the Advances made pursuant to this Agreement, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, the Company hereby grants, mortgages and charges in favour of BV, by way of a floating charge, its undertaking and all of its other property and assets for the time being, real and personal, movable and immovable, of whatsoever nature and kind, both present and in the future (the “Property”), including all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Subsidiary. For
greater certainty, the parties specifically acknowledge and agree that the charges hereby
|
6
|
created in favour of BV constitute a first charge and will rank
pari passu
with the floating charge granted in favour of BV in respect of cash advances made under the Initial Agreement, the Second Agreement and the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon; the parties also acknowledge and agree that these charges are in priority to any and all specific or floating charges created by the Company in favour of any other creditors. The Company and the Subsidiary each agree to take all steps and actions as are reasonably necessary to assist BV with the registration of its interest in the Property in any provincial, state or federal property or title registries. It is also acknowledged by the parties that the Company shall be at liberty to, in the future, create or suffer to be created mortgages, charges, liens or encumbrances, by other specific charges or floating charges, ranking subsequent to the floating charges hereby created; it is also acknowledged by the parties that, unless otherwise specifically agreed to in writing by BV, the Company shall not be at liberty to, and shall not create or suffer to be created, any mortgage, charge, lien or encumbrance upon the Property or the issued and outstanding shares of the Subsidiary ranking in priority to or
pari passu
with the charges hereby created, or to sell or dispose of the same otherwise than in the ordinary course of its business as at present conducted.
|
4.02
|
The parties also agree that the security provided for in paragraph 4.01 herein will be cancelled and of no further force or effect in the event of any of the following:
|
|
(a)
|
the Company making each of the payments provided for in sub-paragraph 6.01(a) herein; or
|
|
(b)
|
the Company entering into a JV Agreement (as defined in sub-paragraph 6.01(b) herein) and by receiving the payments provided for in the JV Agreement that are sufficient to extinguish the Indebtedness in full; or
|
|
(c)
|
the Company receiving the requisite financing for the capital expenditures required to put the Bovill Kaolin Project into full commercial production and the extinguishment in full of the Indebtedness as provided for in sub-paragraph 6.01(c) herein occurring; or

ARTICLE

ADJUSTMENTS
The number of Common Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be
subject to adjustment as follows:
(a)
|
in the event the Company shall:
|
|
(i)
|
pay a dividend in Common Shares or make a distribution in Common Shares;
|
|
(ii)
|
subdivide its outstanding Common Shares;
|
|
(iii)
|
combine its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares; or
|
|
(iv)
|
issue by reclassification of its Common Shares other securities of the Company (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation, merger, amalgamation or other combination in which the Company is the surviving corporation);
|
|
the number of Common Shares (or other securities) purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Common Shares or other securities of the Company which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.
|
(b)
|
In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding Common Shares, without any charge to such holders, entitling them (for a period within 45 days after the record date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share which is lower than 95% of the current market price at the record date mentioned below than the then current market price per Common Share (as determined in accordance with subsection (d) below), the number of Common Shares thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be determined by multiplying the number of Common Shares theretofore purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of Common Shares so offered would purchase at the current market price per Common Share at such record date. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants.
|
B6
(c)
|
In case the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Shares evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions payable out of consolidated earnings or earned surplus and dividends or distributions referred to in subsection (a) above or in subsection (d) below or rights, options or warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (excluding those referred to in subsection (b) above)), then in each case the number of Common Shares thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be determined by multiplying the number of Common Shares theretofore purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per Common Share (as determined in accordance with subsection (d) below) on the date of such distribution, and of which the denominator shall be the then current market price per Common Share less the then fair value (as determined by the board of directors of the Company, acting reasonably) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or of such subscription rights, options or warrants, or of such convertible or exchangeable securities applicable to one Common Share. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made, and shall become effective on the date of distribution retroactive to the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution.
|
|
In the event of the distribution by the Company to all or substantially all of the holders of its Common Shares of shares of a subsidiary or securities convertible or exercisable for such shares, then in lieu of an adjustment in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant, the Warrantholder of each Warrant, upon the exercise thereof, shall receive from the Company, such subsidiary or both, as the Company shall reasonably determine, the shares or other securities to which such Warrantholder would have been entitled if such Warrantholder had exercised such Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this section 4.1 provided, however, that no adjustment in respect of dividends or interest on such shares or other securities shall be made during the term of a Warrant or upon the exercise of a Warrant.
|
(d)
|
For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b) and (c) of this section 4.1, the current market price per Common Share at any date shall be the weighted average price per Common Share for 25 consecutive trading days, commencing not more than 45 trading days before such date on the stock exchange on which the Common Shares are then traded; provided if the Common Shares are then traded on more than one stock exchange, then on the stock exchange on which the largest volume of Common Shares were traded during such 25 consecutive trading day period. The weighted average price per Common Share shall be determined by dividing the aggregate sale price of all Common Shares sold on such exchange or market, as the case may be, during the said 25 consecutive trading days by the total number of shares so sold. For purposes of this subsection (d), trading day means, with respect to a stock exchange, a day on which such exchange is open for the transaction of business. Should the Common Shares not be listed on any stock exchange the current market price per Common Share at any date shall be determined by the board of directors of the Company, acting reasonably.
|
(e)
|
In any case in which this Article 4 shall require that any adjustment in the Exercise Price be made effective immediately after a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of the event the issuance, to the holder of any Warrant exercised after that record date, of the Common Shares and other shares of the Company, if any, issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant over and above the Common Shares and other shares of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to the holder an appropriate instrument evidencing the holder's right to receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
|
(f)
|
No adjustment in the number of Common Shares purchasable hereunder shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (f) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations shall be made to the nearest one-hundredth of a share.
|
(g)
|
Wherever the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares purchasable immediately thereafter.
|
B7
(h)
|
No adjustment in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant need be made under subsections (b) and (c) if, the Company issues or distributes to the Warrantholder the rights, options, warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities, or evidences of indebtedness or assets referred to in those subsections which the Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive had the Warrants been exercised prior to the happening of such event or the record date with respect thereto.
|
(i)
|
In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Warrantholder shall become entitled to purchase any securities of the Company other than Common Shares, thereafter the number of such other shares so purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant and the Exercise Price of such shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Shares contained in subsections (a) through (h), inclusive, above, and the provisions of sections 4.2 through 4.4, inclusive, of this Article 4 with respect to the Common Shares, shall apply on like terms to any such other securities.
|
(j)
|
Upon the expiration of any rights, options, warrants or conversion or exchange privileges, if any thereof shall not have been exercised, the Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall, upon such expiration, be readjusted and shall thereafter be such as it would have been had it been originally adjusted (or had the original adjustment not been required, as the case may be) as if:
|
|
(i)
|
the only Common Shares so issued were the Common Shares, if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise of such rights, options, warrants or conversion or exchange rights; and
|
|
(ii)
|
such Common Shares, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by the Company upon such exercise plus the aggregate consideration, if any, actually received by the Company for the issuance, sale or grant of all such rights, options, warrants or conversion or exchange rights whether or not exercised;
|
|
provided further, that no such readjustment shall have the effect of increasing the Exercise Price or decreasing the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant by an amount in excess of the amount of the adjustment initially made with respect to the issuance, sale or grant of such rights, options, warrants or conversion or exchange rights.
|
4.2
|
Voluntary Adjustment by the Company
|
Subject to requisite Exchange
acceptance, the Company may, at its option, at any time during the term of the
Warrants, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount deemed
appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
Whenever the number of Common
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant or the Exercise Price of
such Common Shares is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly
send to the Warrantholder by first class mail, postage prepaid, notice of such
adjustment or adjustments.
4.4
|
No Adjustment for Dividends
|
Except as provided in section
4.1 of this Article 4, no adjustment in respect of any dividends shall be made
during the term of a Warrant or upon the exercise of a Warrant.
B8
4.5
|
Preservation of Purchase Rights Upon Merger, Consolidation, etc.
|
In connection with any
consolidation of the Company with, or amalgamation or merger of the Company
with or into, another corporation (including, without limitation, pursuant to a
"takeover bid", "tender offer" or other acquisition of all
or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares) or in case of any sale,
transfer or lease to another corporation of all or substantially all the
property of the Company, the Company or such successor or purchasing corporation,
as the case may be, shall execute with the Warrantholder an agreement that the
Warrantholder shall have the right thereafter, upon payment of the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such action, to purchase upon exercise of
each Warrant the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property
which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening
of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale, transfer or lease had such
Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such action, and the Warrantholder
shall be bound to accept such shares and other securities and property in lieu
of the Common Shares to which it was previously entitled; provided, however,
that no adjustment in respect of dividends, interest or other income on or from
such shares or other securities and property shall be made during the term of a
Warrant or upon the exercise of a Warrant. Any such agreement shall provide
for adjustments, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to
the adjustments provided for in this Schedule "A". The provisions of
this Article 4 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers,
amalgamation, sales, transfers or leases.
4.6
|
Determination of Adjustments
|
If any questions shall at any
time arise with respect to the Exercise Price, such question shall be
conclusively determined, absent manifest error, by the Company's Auditors, or,
if they decline to so act, any other firm of Chartered Accountants, in
Vancouver, British Columbia, that the Company may designate and the
Warrantholder, acting reasonably, may approve, and who shall have access to all
appropriate records and such determination shall be binding upon the Company
and the holder.

TSX Venture Exchange acceptance for new loan agreement
Vancouver,

announces that it has
received acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) for the new
loan agreement with a company controlled by Allen Ball, a director of the
Company, pursuant to which up to $4,463,000 U.S. will be advanced to the
Company in tranches, as originally announced on February 19, 2015. These
advances are to be considered secured loans bearing interest at the rate of 12%
per annum calculated and paid semi-annually from the date of each advance – as
disclosed in the Company’s February 19, 2015 news release, the interest may
also be payable in shares at the lender’s election.
As
additional consideration for such advances, up to 1,889,095 bonus shares and up
to 1,889,095 bonus warrants may be issued to the lender, representing 7.5% of
the amount of the advances as provided for in Exchange Policy 5.1 divided by
the $0.22 “market price” of the Company’s shares (as defined in Exchange Policy
1.1) as of February 18, 2015. Each bonus warrant will entitle the holder to
purchase one common share of the Company at a price equal to the greater of:
|
(a)
|
the “market price” of the Company’s shares (as defined in Exchange Policy 1.1) as of the close of business on the date of the advance in question; and
|
|
(b)

subject to a minimum exercise price of $0.22 Cdn. per share, as provided for in Exchange Policy 5.1;
|
for a
period expiring on the earlier of:
|

(e)

the date the amount of the advance, together with all accrued interest thereon, has been repaid in full.
