GENERAL NOTE

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed by Biotricity Inc., formerly known as Metasolutions, Inc. (“us” or the “Company”), following the completion of our acquisition of iMedical Innovation Inc., a company existing under the laws of Canada (“ iMedical ”), through our indirect subsidiary 1062024 B.C. LTD., a company existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“ Exchangeco ”), on February 2, 2016 as described more fully below (collectively referred to as the “ Acquisition Transaction ”).

In connection with the closing of the Acquisition Transaction, we experienced a change of control, as:

·

our sole former director resigned and a new director who is the sole director of iMedical was appointed to fill the vacancy;

·

our prior Chief Executive Officer and sole officer, who beneficially owned 6,500,000 shares of our common stock, resigned from all positions and transferred all of his shares back to us for cancellation;

·

the former management of iMedical were appointed as our executive officers; and

·

the former shareholders of iMedical entered into a transaction whereby their existing common shares of iMedical were exchanged for either: (a) shares in the capital of Exchangeco that are exchangeable for shares of our common stock at the same ratio as if the shareholders exchanged their common shares in iMedical at the consummation of the Acquisition Transaction for our common stock (the “ Exchangeable Shares ”); or (b) shares of our common stock, which (assuming exchange of all such Exchangeable Shares) would equal in the aggregate a number of shares of our common stock that constitute 90% of our issued and outstanding shares as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

As a result, we have determined to treat the Acquisition Transaction as a reverse merger and recapitalization for accounting purposes, with iMedical as the acquirer for accounting purposes. As such, the financial information, including the operating and financial results and audited financial statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K are that of iMedical rather than that of our company prior to the completion of the transactions described herein.

Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Acquisition Transaction

Assignment and Assumption Agreement

Immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition Transaction, we transferred all of the then-existing business, properties, assets, operations, liabilities and goodwill of the Company, to W270 SA, a Costa Rican Corportation, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “ Assignment and Assumption Agreement ”). Accordingly, as of immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition Transaction, we had no assets or liabilities.

A copy of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

Acquisition of iMedical

On February 2, 2016, we entered into an Exchange Agreement with 1061806 BC LTD. (“ Callco ”), a British Columbia corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary, Exchangeco, iMedical and the former shareholders of iMedical (the “ Exchange Agreement ”), whereby Exchangeco acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of iMedical, taking into account the Exchangeable Share Transaction (as defined below). After giving effect to this transaction, we commenced operations through iMedical.

A copy of the Exchange Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

Effective on the closing of the Acquisition Transaction:

(a)

the Company issued approximately 1.197 shares of its common stock in exchange for each common share of iMedical held by iMedical shareholders who in general terms, are not residents of Canada (for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) (the “ Non-Eligible Holders ”);



3



(b)

shareholders of iMedical who in general terms, are Canadian residents (for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) (the “ Eligible Holders ”) received approximately 1.197 Exchangeable Shares in the capital of Exchangeco in exchange for each common share of iMedical held.

(collectively, (a) and (b) being, the “ Exchangeable Share Transaction ”);

(c)

each outstanding option (each an “ Option ”) to purchase common shares in iMedical (whether vested or unvested) was exchanged, without any further action or consideration on the part of the holder of such option, for approximately 1.197 economically equivalent replacement options (each a “ Replacement Option ”) with an inverse adjustment to the exercise price of the Replacement Option to reflect the exchange ratio of approximately 1.197:1;

(d)

each outstanding warrant (each a “ Warrant ”) to purchase common shares in iMedical was adjusted, in accordance with the terms thereof, such that it entitles the holder to receive approximately 1.197 shares of the common stock of the Company for each Warrant, with an inverse adjustment to the exercise price of the Warrants to reflect the exchange ratio of approximately 1.197:1;

(e)

each outstanding advisor warrant (each an “ Advisor Warrant ”) to purchase common shares in iMedical was adjusted, in accordance with the terms thereof, such that it entitles the holder to receive approximately 1.197 shares of the common stock of the Company for each Advisor Warrant, with an inverse adjustment to the exercise price of the Advisor Warrants to reflect the exchange ratio of approximately 1.197:1; and

(f)

the outstanding 11% secured debentures of iMedical (each a “ Convertible Debenture ”) were adjusted, in accordance with the adjustment provisions thereof, as and from closing, so as to permit the holders to convert (and in some circumstances permit the Company to force the conversion of) the Convertible Debentures into shares of the common stock of the Company at an adjusted conversion price of US$1.50.

Pursuant to the rights and privileges of the Exchangeable Shares, the holders of such Exchangeable Shares maintain the right to: (i) receive dividends equal to, and to be paid concurrently with, dividends paid by the Company to the holders of its common stock; (ii) vote, through the Trustee’s voting of the Special Voting Preferred Stock (as defined herein), on all matters that the holders of Common Stock of the Company are entitled to vote upon; and (iii) receive shares of Common Stock of the Company upon the liquidation or insolvency of the Company or upon the redemption of such Exchangeable Shares by Exchangeco. The Exchangeable Shares do not give the holders thereof any economic, voting, or other control rights over either Exchangeco or iMedical.

The rights and preferences of the Exchangeable Shares are filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.



4



As part of the Exchangeable Share Transaction, we entered into the following agreements, each dated February 2, 2016:

·

Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement (the “ Trust Agreement ”) with Exchangeco, Callco and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the “ Trustee ”); and

·

Support Agreement (the “ Support Agreement ”) with Exchangeco and Callco.

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, the parties created a trust for the benefit of its beneficiaries, which are the holders of the Exchangeable Shares, enabling the Trustee to exercise the voting rights of such holders until such time as they choose to redeem their Exchangeable Shares for shares of the common stock of the Company, and allowing the Trustee to hold certain exchange rights in respect of the Exchangeable Shares.

As a condition of the Trust Agreement and prior to the execution thereof, we filed a Certificate of Designation with the Nevada Secretary of State, effective February 2, 2016, designating a class of our preferred shares as the Special Voting Preferred Stock (the “ Special Voting Preferred Stock ”) and issued one share of the Special Voting Preferred Stock to the Trustee.

A copy of the Certificate of Designation is filed as Exhibit 4.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

The Special Voting Preferred Stock entitles the Trustee to exercise the number of votes equal to the number of Exchangeable Shares outstanding on a one-for-one basis during the term of the Trust Agreement. The Trust Agreement further sets out the terms and conditions under which holders of the Exchangeable Shares are entitled to instruct the Trustee as to how to vote during any stockholder meetings of our company.

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, we granted the Trustee the right to require the Company to purchase the Exchangeable Shares from any beneficiary upon the occurrence of certain events including in the event that we are bankrupt, insolvent or our business is wound up. The Trust Agreement continues to remain in force until the earliest of the following events: (i) no outstanding Exchangeable Shares are held by any beneficiary under the Trust Agreement; and (ii) each of iMedical and us elects to terminate the Trust Agreement in writing and the termination is approved by the beneficiaries.

A copy of the Trust Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.



5



Pursuant to the terms of the Support Agreement, we agreed to certain covenants while the Exchangeable Shares were outstanding, including: (i) not to declare or pay any dividends on our common stock unless Exchangeco simultaneously declares or pays an equivalent dividend for the holders of the Exchangeable Shares; (ii) advising Exchangeco in advance of any dividend declaration by the Company; (iii) ensure that the record date for any dividend or other distribution declared on the shares of the Company is not less than seven days after the declaration date of such dividend or other distribution; (iv) taking all actions reasonably necessary to enable Exchangeco to pay and otherwise perform its obligations with respect to the issued and outstanding Exchangeable Shares; (v) to ensure that shares of the Company are delivered to holders of Exchangeable Shares upon exercise of certain redemption rights set out in the agreement and in the rights and restrictions of the Exchangeable Shares; and (vi) reserving for issuance and keeping available from our authorized common stock such number of shares as may be equal to: (A) the number of Exchangeable Shares issued and outstanding from time to time; and (B) the number of Exchangeable Shares issuable upon the exercise of all rights to acquire Exchangeable Shares from time to time.

The Support Agreement also outlines certain restrictions on our ability to issue any dividends, rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of our stockholders during the term of the agreement unless the economic equivalent is provided to the holders of Exchangeable Shares. The Support Agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario.

A copy of the Support Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

As of the Acquisition Transaction, an aggregate of 6,500,000 shares of our common stock were deemed cancelled, all of which were held by our former President and Chief Executive Officer.

Following the Acquisition Transaction, as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, there were an equivalent of approximately 25,000,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding of which pre-existing stockholders hold 2,500,000 are held by existing stockholders and former iMedical shareholders hold: (a) an equivalent of 9,123,031 shares of our common stock through their ownership of 100% of the Exchangeable Shares and (b) 13,376,947 shares of our common stock directly.  

As a result, our pre-Acquisition Transaction stockholders hold approximately 10% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (which could be decreased to approximately 7.2%), and the former stockholders of iMedical hold approximately 90% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (which could be increased to approximately 92.8%) either directly or indirectly through their ownership of 100% of the Exchangeable Shares.

Furthermore, up to 750,000 shares of our common stock that were outstanding prior to the Acquisition Transaction are held in escrow and are subject to forfeiture in the event we are not able to raise $6 million within 6 months of the date of the Acquisition Transaction.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Corporate Overview

Our Company was incorporated on August 29, 2012 in the State of Nevada. At the time of our incorporation the name of our company was Metasolutions, Inc. On January 27, 2016, we filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”), effective as of February 1, 2016, whereby, among other things, we changed our name to Biotricity Inc. and increased the authorized number of shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 125,000,000 and “black check” preferred stock from 1,000,000 to 10,000,000.

iMedical was incorporated on July 3, 2014 under the Canada Business Corporations Act. Sensor Mobility Inc. was incorporated on July 22, 2009 under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. Sensor Mobility was also engaged in research and development activities within the remote monitoring segment of preventative care. On August 11, 2014, all the stockholders of Sensor Mobility entered into a series of rollover agreements for the sale of their shares to iMedical. Pursuant to these agreements, all the stockholders of Sensor Mobility received twice the number of shares of iMedical in exchange for their shares in Sensor Mobility. Accordingly, iMedical issued 11,829,500 shares in exchange for 5,914,750 shares of Sensor Mobility, which were subsequently cancelled, effective November 21, 2014. As the former stockholders of Sensor Mobility became the majority stockholders of iMedical in such transaction, it was accounted for as a reverse merger and was treated as an acquisition of iMedical (legal acquirer) and a recapitalization of Sensor Mobility (accounting acquirer). As Sensor Mobility was the accounting acquirer, the results of its operations carried over. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations reflected in this Current Report on Form 8-K for the periods prior to November 21, 2014 are those of Sensor Mobility. Effective from November 21, 2014, iMedical’s financial statements include the assets, liabilities and operations of iMedical.

iMedical’s principal executive office is located at 75 International Blvd., Suite 300, Toronto, ON Canada M9W 6L9, and its telephone number is (416) 214-3678. It also has executive offices at 275 Shoreline Drive, Redwood City, California. Our website address is www.biotricity.com.

Description of Business

Company Overview

Biotricity is a leading-edge medical technology company focused on biometric data monitoring solutions. Our aim is to deliver innovative, remote monitoring solutions to the medical, healthcare, and consumer markets, with a focus on diagnostic and post-diagnostic solutions for lifestyle and chronic illnesses. We approach the diagnostic side of remote patient monitoring by applying innovation within existing business models where reimbursement is established. We believe this approach reduces the risk associated with traditional medical device development and accelerates the path to revenue. In post-diagnostic markets, we intend to apply medical grade biometrics to enable consumers to self-manage, thereby driving patient compliance and reducing healthcare costs. We intend to first focus on a segment of the multi-billion-dollar diagnostic mobile cardiac telemetry market, otherwise known as MCT.



8



To date, we have developed our Bioflux MCT technology which is comprised of a monitoring device and software component, verified our business model, and built strategic partnerships to accelerate our go-to-market strategy and growth.

We have established research partnerships with academic institutions such as the University of Calgary, and federal research organizations such as the National Research Council of Canada (NRCC). We are also currently engaged in a collaboration with the Rockyview General Hospital in Calgary, Canada, to determine the predictive value of electrocardiogram (ECG) readings in preventative healthcare applications. The study is designed to identify novel patterns in ECG readings that may be translated into probability models for use in the development of proprietary algorithms for diagnostic applications, and to determine if ECG readings have predictive value for use in preventative healthcare applications, such as self-managed care. The research is partly funded by the NRCC.

Market Overview

Chronic diseases are the number one burden on the healthcare system, driving up costs year over year. Lifestyle related illnesses such as obesity and hypertension are the top contributing factors of chronic conditions including diabetes and heart disease. Government and healthcare organizations are focused on driving costs down by shifting to evidence-based healthcare where individuals, especially those suffering from chronic illnesses, engage in self-management. This has led to massive growth in the connected health market, which is projected to reach $59 billion by 2020 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 33.4%. Remote patient monitoring (RPM), one of the key areas of focus for self-management and evidence-based practice, is growing at a CAGR of 49%, with an estimated 36 million patients using such solutions by 2020. Currently, over 50% of hospitals are already using RPM solutions to improve risk management and care quality.

 The number one cost to the healthcare system is cardiovascular disease (CVD), responsible for 1 in every 6 healthcare dollars spent in the US. By 2030, CVD is expected to have an impact of over $1 trillion in medical expenses and lost productivity. With CVD also being the number one cause of death worldwide, early detection, diagnosis, and management of chronic cardiac conditions are necessary to relieve the increasing burden on the healthcare infrastructure. Diagnostic tests such as ECGs are used to detect, diagnose and track certain types of cardiovascular conditions. We believe that the rise of lifestyle related illnesses associated with heart disease has created a need to develop cost-effective diagnostic mechanisms to fill a hole in the current ECG market.

The global ECG market is expected to be worth $26 billion in 2020 and is growing at a CAGR of 4.7%. The factors driving this market include an aging population, an increase in chronic diseases related to lifestyle choices, improved technology in diagnostic ECG devices, and high growth rates of ECG device sales.

The US portion of the ECG market is expected to be worth $9.32 billion in 2020 and is comprised of three major segments: resting (non-stress) ECG systems, stress ECG systems, and event monitoring systems. The event monitoring segment alone is expected to be worth $4.66 billion in 2020, and is currently broken into the Holter, Event Loop, and MCT monitoring categories.

We believe that MCT is the preferred diagnostic choice of physicians and cardiologists, as it increases the quality of care and reduces patient risk. The MCT diagnostic is a robust, continuous, remote monitoring solution for cardiac arrhythmia, and it often eliminates the need for expensive overnight monitoring in a hospital. However, the MCT devices currently available are based on outdated technologies which often require a patient to wear a bulky device, and are not readily accessible.

In the US, MCT tests are primarily conducted through outsourced Independent Diagnostic Testing Facilities (IDTFs) that are reimbursed at an average rate of $850 per diagnostic test. There are currently five competitors within the US MCT diagnostic market, which have effectively restricted MCT services to outsourced clinics and locked physicians out of the MCT market with no ability to receive financial reimbursement for MCT diagnostics.

We intend to enter our MCT diagnostic device and software solution into the market as the sixth competitor and employ an insourcing business model. This proposed business model is applicable to a significantly larger portion of the total available market, which include hospitals, physicians’ offices and other IDTFs. We believe our insourcing model has the benefit of a reduced operating overhead by offering our solution on a pay-per-use basis, enabling a more efficient market penetration and distribution strategy.

Our vision is to revolutionize the MCT market by providing a convenient, cost-effective, integrated MCT solution, inclusive of both software and hardware for the providers and the patients. The solution is designed as a platform to encompass all segments of the event monitoring market, and future market growth.

Our Bioflux MCT solution is comprised of a uniquely designed monitoring device that is pending 510(k) clearance and an ECG reporting software component that is already FDA cleared and has 300 existing customers, enabling us to introduce the Bioflux device quickly and efficiently into the marketplace. We believe the Bioflux solution is superior to its competitors because it:

·

offers better and/or equivalent diagnostics to current MCT devices in use;

·

provides recurring reimbursements to doctors, hospitals and IDTFs;

·

provides a revenue model that fits within the established insurance billing practices;

·

provides built-in cellular connectivity, enabling immediate alert to user in the event of an emergency;

·

provides motion tracking to detect exercise, activity, and disorientation; and

·

incorporates technology that is future-ready, in that its form and function enables opportunities adjacent to the MCT market.

Following Bioflux, we intend to introduce medical-grade monitoring into the consumer market via our proposed Biolife solution, which we are designing to improve healthcare with technology that aids chronic disease prevention. Biolife is expected to be designed to empower individuals by creating a compliance optimized user experience that combines ECG data and social media interactivity with a lifestyle log. Design and development is already underway, and Biolife is scheduled to launch in the Fall of 2016.

Market Opportunity

ECGs are a key diagnostic test utilized in the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, the number one cause of death worldwide. The global ECG market is projected to be worth $26 billion in 2020, of which approximately 36% ($9.32 billion) is attributed to the US ECG market, with event monitoring accounting for $4.66 billion of that. In the US in 2012, there were 26.6 million people living with cardiovascular disease with an additional 2.5 million people being diagnosed every year. The increasing market size is attributed to an aging population and an influx in chronic diseases related to lifestyle choices.

The US ECG market is divided into three major product segments:

1. Event monitoring systems;

2. Stress ECG systems; and

3. Resting (non-stress) ECG systems.

Event monitoring systems are projected to grow the fastest due to a shift from in-hospital/clinic monitoring to outpatient monitoring. This shift is expected to help reduce health care costs by limiting the number of overnight hospital stays for patient monitoring. We believe that physicians prefer event monitoring systems over resting and stress ECG systems because they provide better insight to the patient’s condition for diagnostic purposes.

The event monitoring market is divided into the Holter, Event Loop and Mobile Cardiac Telemetry (MCT) product segments, of which Holter and Event Loop are the current market leaders. Amongst event monitoring systems, we believe that the preferred choice of physicians and cardiologists is MCT, because of its ability to continuously monitor patients in real-time, thereby reducing a patient’s risk and a physician’s liability. MCT devices have built-in arrhythmia detectors and real-time communication, which allow physicians to prescribe the device for a longer period of time; thereby enabling prolonged data collection and delivering a more complete picture for diagnosis.

We believe that Holter and Event Loop solutions compromise patient safety because they lack the ability to alert the patient in the event of an emergency. With Holter and Event Loop monitoring, ECG data is not uploaded or transmitted in real-time. Comparatively, if the patient were monitored through an MCT device with real-time ECG data transfer and cellular network access, then in the event of cardiac distress, the monitoring center would immediately send communication to the patient.

Despite our belief that MCT is the optimal solution and the preferred system, the MCT Market is the smallest segment of event monitoring systems with an estimated size of approximately $918 million. This is because the reimbursement revenues associated with MCT incentivizes the dominant solution providers to earn the fees independent of the physician. This creates a critical problem in the marketplace where physicians have the choice to either use the Holter/Event monitor, or lose money and prescribe an MCT. An additional option is to incur huge costs to build out MCT capabilities in order to prescribe MCT. As a result, we believe that physicians will mostly prescribe MCT tests on high-risk patients only, where real-time communication is critical.



11



In order to properly administer the MCT test, a healthcare provider must have access to three essential components:

1.

The MCT device;

2.

An ECG viewing software that is capable of reading the data recorded from the device; and

3.

A monitoring station that collects the ECG data and responds to the patient in case of an alarm detection.

In addition, there is a shortage in the number of MCT solutions available, as the current MCT diagnostic providers essentially control all of the current MCT devices and software. Since MCT requires an FDA-cleared device, FDA-cleared ECG software, and remote monitoring capabilities, very few companies have attempted to create an all-encompassing solution due to regulatory and development timelines. Currently, there are only 5 MCT solutions within the market of which there are both solution providers and device manufacturers. There also exists overlap amongst the providers and device manufacturers, leading to further confusion and marketplace complexities.

Of the five MCT systems currently available in the market, three are owned by solution providers (IDTFs) who employ an outsourcing business model and we believe are unwilling to sell to physicians. The other two MCT providers we believe are willing to sell their solution at prohibitively high prices for devices plus upfront software costs and a per test fee for monitoring. One of these MCT devices does not have scalable software; and the other lacks monitoring software, requiring a customer to acquire third party software and incur integration expenses. In these two scenarios, the physician would have to incur upfront costs that would take time to recoup before profits are realized.

The limited number of competitors makes this an attractive market for new entrants. However, entry into the market requires a hardware device coupled with ECG software and access to a monitoring station. Two of the five MCT players have done so by building their own monitoring infrastructure, developing their own ECG software and utilizing TZ Medical’s MCT device. However, this is capital intensive and we believe cost prohibitive for hospitals and clinics. These barriers are in our opinion the key reasons as to why Holter and Event Loop have maintained a significant portion of the $4.66 billion US event monitoring market.

The Bioflux MCT solution and business model attempts to address these complications with its complete, turn-key solution, which consists of an easy-to-wear GSM-enabled cardiac monitoring device, ECG viewing software and access to a 24/7 ECG monitoring center. Bioflux employs an insourced business model, where the physician and/or hospital are sharing the profits with Biotricity. The entire Bioflux solution is expected to be free to doctors and revenue is expected to be derived from insurance reimbursable ECG reads. We expect that service providers such as physicians, clinics and/or hospitals can request as many devices as they require, at no cost, provided they are utilized. This business model creates a partnership between Biotricity and the service provider, where revenue is generated based on usage. Using an average reimbursement of $850, for instance, the proceeds could be distributed as follows: $150 could go to the monitoring center, with the balance split between Biotricity and the service provider. If the service provider has the internal capability of doing the monitoring, then $500 could go to the service provider and $350 would go to Biotricity.



12



Market Strategy

The Bioflux MCT device is expected to be deployed into hospitals, clinics, physicians’ offices and IDTFs, on a pay-per-use basis. The MCT diagnostic read currently is a reimbursable service from payers such as Medicare and insurance companies. In the United States, billing codes for an MCT diagnostic read are currently available under the American Medical Association Current Procedural Terminal, with a current average reimbursement rate of $850 per read (a read is between 3 and 14 days long).

We believe that Bioflux’s pay-per-use strategy, with no fee for device purchases, is a significant and disruptive departure from the pricing and reimbursement strategies of the five existing competitors in the MCT market, which use a ‘closed­garden’ model to MCT diagnostics, where the entire procedure and reimbursement is restricted to an outsourced model. The physicians, clinics, hospitals and IDTFs do not receive any financial incentive to switch to the MCT diagnostic, from other non-MCT devices (i.e. Holter and Event Loop recording monitors).

Bioflux’s pricing reimbursement strategy is enabled by planned low-cost manufacturing, and supported by a robust and sustainable gross­ margin (approximately 83%) on the revenue generated from each MCT diagnostic read. This in turn creates a barrier to entry for other competitors seeking to emulate Biotricity’s strategy.

The pay-per-use strategy expected to be employed by Biotricity provides a financial incentive for the healthcare provider to switch devices or technologies (i.e. from Holter and Event Loop) and other cardiac diagnostic solutions. This strategy simultaneously incentivizes major medical distributors to place multiple devices in Biotricity’s target markets: physicians’ offices, clinics, hospitals, and IDTFs.

In early 2016, Biotricity expects to simultaneously roll-out its first devices to existing users of the ECG viewer software and key opinion leaders such as cardiologists, physicians, and research scientists. In 2017, we expect to begin widespread distribution with the addition of a major channel distributor to enable a market penetration of approximately 2,213 physician offices (out of approximately 221,235 physician offices in the U.S.), 58 hospitals (out of approximately 5,754 hospitals in the U.S.), and 30 IDTFs (out of 3,000 estimated IDTFs in the U.S.).

Our insourcing business model has been validated with on-the­ ground market research with end-users and payers who have indicated that they are (1) willing to switch to the Biotricity MCT device from existing modalities, and (2) accept Biotricity’s share of the MCT diagnostic service reimbursement in exchange for a no-cost delivery of the MCT device.

Product and Technology

Bioflux is an advanced, integrated ECG device and software solution for the MCT market. The Bioflux device is comprised of a wet electrode and worn either on a lanyard around the neck or on a belt clip around the waist. The Bioflux software will allow doctors and labs to view a patient’s ECG data for monitoring and diagnostic purposes. Both the device and software are in accordance with MCT billing code standards, compliant with arrhythmia devices and alarms as defined by the FDA, and are pending 510(k) clearance.

The Bioflux MCT device is optimized to allow production at a significantly lower cost than many of the existing MCT devices. The cost-effective manufacturing of Bioflux enables the device to be distributed for free, while allowing Bioflux to receive a fee-for-service reimbursement for each diagnostic read. This combination creates a barrier to entry for existing competitors and future entrants.

The Bioflux device has been developed, among other things, with the following features:

·

GSM mobile chip for global cellular network compatibility;

·

Touch-screen LCD viewer; and

·

Extended battery pack for an additional 48 hours of battery life.

The Bioflux platform has a built-in cellular chipset and a real-time embedded operating system which allows for Biotricity’s technology to be utilized as an Internet of Things (IoT) platform. This technology can be leveraged into other applications and industries by utilizing the platform and OS side of Bioflux.

We have licensed on an exclusive basis for the MCT market, what we believe is the only FDA cleared ECG viewer software for use in MCT, from CardioComm Solutions Inc. CardioComm’s ECG viewer software is already installed and utilized by hospitals and call centers, and we believe we can leverage this familiarity to gain access to decision makers at such hospitals and call centers. Bioflux is integrating the ECG software between the device and the ECG viewer software for a seamless user experience.

Future Markets

It is widely reported that chronic illnesses related to lifestyle diseases are on the rise, resulting in increased healthcare costs. This has caused a major shift in the US healthcare market, emphasizing a need for evidence based healthcare system focused on overall health outcomes. Patient compliance is a critical component in driving improved health outcomes, where the patient adheres to and implements their physician’s recommendation. Unfortunately, poor patient compliance is one of the most pressing issues in the healthcare market. One of the key contributing factors to this is the lack of a feedback mechanism to measure improvement and knowledge. Studies show that poor patient compliance costs the US healthcare system $100 to $300 billion annually, representing 3% to 10% of total US healthcare costs.

The above trends point to a need for preventative care solutions that are clinically relevant and designed for the consumer to promote compliance. Current consumer products are simple gadgets with limited, if any, clinical relevance. This forces patients to rely on clinical visits to gauge improvement, with time between visits being spent on following and implementing physician recommendations. Research has shown that the latter is closely linked to non-compliance due to the lack of feedback to patients.

We expect that Biolife, Biotricity’s planned second product, will be focused on filling this need by developing a clinically relevant, preventative care and disease management solution for the consumer. A key underlying component of Biolife is expected to be the ability to measure patient improvements—with clinical accuracy—which will drive feedback and eventual patient compliance. This approach is implemented in our development process by focusing on a disease/chronic illness profile, as opposed to a customer profile. We are focused on cardiovascular disease for its first preventative care solution since Bioflux is aimed at the same health segment. This will enable Biotricity to leverage the knowledge and expertise gained with Bioflux and apply it to Biolife.

Preventative Care

The preventative care market (also referred to as the health and wellness market) is currently estimated at $452 billion in 2015. The preventative care market segments include: core diagnostic market and therapeutics ($42 billion), personalized medical care ($100 billion) and nutrition and wellness ($310 billion).

With the knowledge and expertise gained during the development of the Bioflux MCT solution, we have developed a secondary device, Biolife, aimed at the preventative consumer healthcare market. Biolife is a health and lifestyle solution comprised of an ECG monitoring device, an app, and social media support. Biolife will track, simplify and generate a user’s health pattern score by aggregating medical grade ECG data with a lifestyle log. The idea is to provide real-time feedback and a social support system, so that the individual is motivated to be proactive about preventing adverse cardiac complications.

Biolife’s target market are individuals between 45 to 75, and those at risk for cardiovascular disease and other chronic health illnesses who want the support of making lifestyle changes to have a better quality of life.

We are currently prepared to enter future markets for users that are interested in:

·

Self-management of cardiovascular disease and other related chronic diseases;

·

Users seeking lifestyle and wellness applications for remote ECG monitoring; and

·

Users seeking a predictive and prognostic solution using ECG (known as Heart Rate Variability).

Adjacent Chronic Healthcare Markets and Prenatal Care

In the next two years, we intend to expand our reach with medical-grade solutions for diabetes, sleep apnea, fetal monitoring, and other adjacent healthcare and lifestyle markets.

Bionatal is a proposed solution for monitoring the fetus’ health by remote cardiac monitoring. In the US, there are approximately 60,000 fetal deaths per year. First time mothers are at the greatest risk for still births, approximating 20% of 840,000 pregnancies. Bionatal’s fetal ECG monitoring solution has a total market of $2.3 million, with an initial target of 900,000 pregnancies.

Event Monitoring

The Holter and Event Loop monitors are significantly simplified versions of an MCT device without a cellular connectivity solution. Holter and Event Loop monitors require data to be downloaded manually, for test periods of 24 hours to 30 days. With just a few adjustments to the software, Bioflux’s MCT device is expected to be able to be used as a Holter or an Event loop monitor, which would open up the entire Holter and Event Loop monitor markets which are estimated to be $3.7 billion in 2020. Combined with Bioflux’s global cellular chipset, the Bioflux MCT device can become a 3 in 1 device that is applicable to the global event monitoring market. Bioflux intends to offer this complete solution to its three target markets: physicians, clinics/hospitals and IDTFs, which includes the Bioflux MCT device, Bioflux ECG software, and access to a third party ECG monitoring center. There will be no-cost to any of Biotricity’s customers for the device itself, and the entire revenue is derived from the pay-per-use service.

Competition

The medical technology equipment industry is characterized by strong competition and rapid technological change. There are a number of companies developing technologies that are competitive to our existing and proposed products, many of them, when compared to our Company, having significantly longer operational history and greater financial and other resources.

Within the US event monitoring systems market, the MCT product segment is comprised of 5 main competitors. These competitors have increased market presence and distribution primarily through existing IDTFs. The existing competitors have maintained a competitive advantage within the market by controlling the distribution of all available MCT devices and software solutions. The five primary competitors in the MCT market are:

·

CardioNet .  CardioNet is a public company in the US, with the largest network of IDTFs within the MCT market. CardioNet is considered a complete solution provider as it produces and distributes its own MCT device, software solution, and MCT monitoring stations. The company acquired its MCT device through the acquisition of a MCT manufacturer, Braemar. Upon acquisition of Braemar, CardioNet offered limited support to other clients utilizing Braemar’s technology. This resulted in CardioNet increasing the use of its device and software solution, enabling wide market penetration.

We believe that CardioNet’s business model is focused on providing the MCT diagnostic service, as opposed to selling MCT solutions to other IDTFs or service providers, which enables a perpetual per-read fee as opposed to one time device or software sales. Equity research analysts categorize CardioNet as a clinical health provider, because of its business model, rather than as a medical device company.

As such, we believe that CardioNet’s market cap is limited by the low multiples associated with that type of business, and, as a clinical health provider, CardioNet has significant overhead and fixed costs associated with monitoring stations and health professionals.

·

LifeWatch .  LifeWatch is a public company based in Switzerland. LifeWatch operates a large network of IDTFs. LifeWatch is smaller relative to CardioNet, yet we believe it follows the same business model. To this end, LifeWatch has developed its own MCT device and software solution, as well as established MCT monitoring stations.

·

eCardio.  eCardio is a private company, based in Houston, Texas. eCardio’s device is manufactured by a third party medical device company, TZ Medical. eCardio has integrated TZ Medical’s device with its software solution to create a complete MCT solution. Similar to LifeWatch and CardioNet, we believe eCardio follows the same business model of offering the MCT service and acting as a clinical health provider.

·

Linecare .  Linecare is a private company, based in Clearwater, Florida. We believe that Linecare’s main focus is respiratory care, but it also has franchises in diagnostic care, including the MCT product segment of the ECG monitoring market. Linecare has followed a similar approach as eCardio, where they have integrated TZ Medical’s device into their software solution to offer a complete MCT service. Similarly, it acts as a clinical health provider and offers its MCT service as an outsourced offering to the physician.



16



·

ScottCare .  ScottCare is a private company in the US and a subsidiary of Scott Fetzer Company, a division of Berkshire Hathaway. ScottCare provides equipment for cardiovascular clinics and diagnostic technicians. ScottCare has built its own MCT device and software solution. Unlike the others, ScottCare offers its solution in an insourced model, where the physician has the opportunity to bill. This model requires the physician to purchase a minimum number of devices at an average cost of $2,000 and their software at a cost of $25,000 to $40,000. After this initial upfront cost, ScottCare charges an additional per test fee for monitoring. The above model creates a long ROI for the physician. In our opinion, this has resulted in little market penetration for ScottCare as compared to the others.

·

TZ Medical .  TZ Medical is a medical device company that focuses on manufacturing a variety of medical devices. TZ Medical is not a direct competitor as they produce an MCT device that is available for purchase. However, TZ Medical does not have a software solution, requiring any new entrant to either acquire or build out a software solution and then integrate that with the TZ Medical device. This creates a requirement for a large upfront capital investment. As a result, this approach only works for organizations looking to become MCT solution providers with the same business model as the others.

Intellectual Property

We primarily rely on trade secret protection for our proprietary information. No assurance can be given that we can meaningfully protect our trade secrets. Others may independently develop substantially equivalent confidential and proprietary information or otherwise gain access to, or disclose, our trade secrets.

We have licensed on an exclusive basis for the MCT market, what we believe is the only FDA cleared ECG viewer software for use in MCT, from CardioComm Solutions Inc. The exclusivity is indefinite unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the agreement, including by CardioComm if we fail to remain current in the payment of applicable royalty fees.

We have and generally plan to continue to enter into non-disclosure, confidentially and intellectual property assignment agreements with all new employees as a condition of employment. In addition, we intend to also generally enter into confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with consultants, manufacturers’ representatives, distributors, suppliers and others to attempt to limit access to, use and disclosure of our proprietary information. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection or adequate remedies for our trade secrets in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of such information.

We also may from time to time rely on other intellectual property developed or acquired, including patents, technical innovations, laws of unfair competition and various other licensing agreements to provide our future growth and to build our competitive position. We have filed an industrial design patent in Canada, and we may decide to file for additional patents as we continue to expand our intellectual property portfolio. However, we can give no assurance that competitors will not infringe on our patent or other rights or otherwise create similar or non-infringing competing products that are technically patentable in their own right.



17



Currently, we do not have any registered copyrights; however, we may obtain such registrations in the future.

Research and Development

Our research and development programs are generally pursued by engineers and scientists employed by us in Toronto on a full-time basis or hired as per diem consultants or through partnerships with industry leaders in manufacturing and design and researchers and academia. We are also working with subcontractors in developing specific components of our technologies.

The primary objective of our research and development program is to advance the development of our existing and proposed products, to enhance the commercial value of such products.

We have incurred research and development costs of $832,661 for the year ended December 31, 2014 and $241,730 for the year ended December 31, 2013, and $326,206 and $891,719 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Government Regulation

General

Our proposed product is subject to regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“ FDA ”) and various other federal and state agencies, as well as by foreign governmental agencies. These agencies enforce laws and regulations that govern the development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, advertising, marketing and distribution, and market surveillance of the our medical device products.

In addition to the below, the only regulations we encounter are the regulations that are common to all businesses, such as employment legislation, implied warranty laws, and environmental, health and safety standards, to the extent applicable. We will also encounter in the future industry-specific government regulations that would govern our products, if and when developed for commercial use. It may become the case that other regulatory approvals will be required for the design and manufacture of our products and proposed products.

U.S. Regulation

Under the U.S. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, medical devices are classified into one of three classes — Class I, Class II or Class III — depending on the degree of risk associated with each medical device and the extent of control needed to ensure safety and effectiveness. Our current medical products are expected to be categorized as either Class I (with respect to software) or Class II (with respect to hardware). Class I devices are those for which safety and effectiveness can be assured by adherence to a set of guidelines, which include compliance with the applicable portions of the FDA's Quality System Regulation, facility registration and product listing, reporting of adverse medical events, and appropriate, truthful and non-misleading labeling, advertising, and promotional materials. Class II devices require a 510(k) premarket submission to the US FDA. Equivalent agencies in other countries require similar submissions prior to the device being marketed.



18



We also need to establish a suitable and effective quality management system, which establishes controlled processes for our product design, manufacturing, and distribution. We plan to do this in compliance with the internationally recognized standard ISO 13485:2013 Medical Devices – Quality Management Systems – Requirements for Regulatory Purposes. Following the introduction of a product, the FDA and foreign agencies engage in periodic reviews of our quality systems, as well as product performance and advertising and promotional materials. These regulatory controls, as well as any changes in FDA policies, can affect the time and cost associated with the development, introduction and continued availability of new products. Where possible, we anticipate these factors in our product development processes. These agencies possess the authority to take various administrative and legal actions against us, such as product recalls, product seizures and other civil and criminal sanctions.

Foreign Regulation

In addition to regulations in the United States, we will be subject to a variety of foreign regulations governing clinical trials and commercial sales and distribution of our products in foreign countries. Whether or not we obtain FDA approval for a product, we must obtain approval of a product by the comparable regulatory authorities of foreign countries before we can commence clinical trials or marketing of the product in those countries. The approval process varies from country to country, and the time may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA approval. The requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials, product licensing, pricing and reimbursement vary greatly from country to country.

The policies of the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities may change and additional government regulations may be enacted which could prevent or delay regulatory approval of our products and could also increase the cost of regulatory compliance. We cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of adverse governmental regulation that might arise from future legislative or administrative action, either in the United States or abroad.

Employees

We currently have 25 employees and consultants who are based in our offices located in Toronto, Canada and Silicon Valley, California. These employees oversee day-to-day operations of the Company and with the consultants, support management, engineering, manufacturing, and administration. We have no unionized employees.

Based on funding ability, we currently plan to hire 5 to 10 additional full-time employees within the next 12 months, whose principal responsibilities will be the support of our sales, marketing, research and development, and clinical development activities.

We consider relations with our employees to be satisfactory.



19



LEGAL MATTERS

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm business.

We are not currently a party in any legal proceeding or governmental regulatory proceeding nor are we currently aware of any pending or potential legal proceeding or governmental regulatory proceeding proposed to be initiated against us that would have a material adverse effect on us or our business.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Our principal executive office is located in leased premises of approximately 5,000 square feet at 75 International Blvd., Suite 300, Toronto, ON Canada M9W 6L9 . We also have executive offices at leased premises of approximately 3,500 square feet at 275 Shoreline Drive, Redwood City, California. We believe that these facilities are adequate for our needs, including providing the space and infrastructure to accommodate our development work based on our current operating plan. We do not own any real estate.

RISK FACTORS

The risks set forth below are not the only ones facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties may exist that could also adversely affect our business, financial condition, prospects and/or operations. If any of the following or other risks actually materialize, our business, financial condition, prospects and/or operations could suffer. In such event, the value of our securities could decline. 

Risks Related to Our Business

We have a limited operating history upon which investors can evaluate our future prospects.

We have a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of its business plan or performance and prospects can be made. The business and prospects of the Company must be considered in the light of the potential problems, delays, uncertainties and complications encountered in connection with a newly established business and creating a new industry. The risks include, but are not limited to, the possibility that we will not be able to develop functional and scalable products and services, or that although functional and scalable, our products and services will not be economical to market; that our competitors hold proprietary rights that preclude us from marketing such products; that our competitors market a superior or equivalent product; that we are not able to upgrade and enhance our technologies and products to accommodate new features and expanded service offerings; or the failure to receive necessary regulatory clearances for our products. To successfully introduce and market our products at a profit, we must establish brand name recognition and competitive advantages for our products. There are no assurances that we can successfully address these challenges. If it is unsuccessful, we and our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely affected.



20



The current and future expense levels are based largely on estimates of planned operations and future revenues rather than experience. It is difficult to accurately forecast future revenues because our business is new and our market has not been developed. If our forecasts prove incorrect, the business, operating results and financial condition of the Company will be materially and adversely affected. Moreover, we may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unanticipated reduction in revenue. As a result, any significant reduction in revenues would immediately and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We have had no revenues since inception, and we cannot predict when we will achieve profitability.

iMedical has not been profitable and cannot predict when we will achieve profitability. We have experienced net losses and have had no revenues since our and our predecessor’s inception in 2009. We do not anticipate generating significant revenues until we successfully develop, commercialize and sell our existing and proposed products, of which we can give no assurance. We are unable to determine when we will generate significant revenues, if any, from the sale of any of such products.

We cannot predict when we will achieve profitability, if ever. Our inability to become profitable may force us to curtail or temporarily discontinue our research and development programs and our day-to-day operations. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that profitability, if achieved, can be sustained on an ongoing basis. As of September 30, 2015, we had an accumulated deficit of $7,736,844.

We may never complete the development of the Bioflux or any of our other proposed products into marketable products.

We do not know when or whether we will successfully complete the development of the Bioflux or any other proposed or contemplated product, for any of our target markets. We continue to seek to improve our technologies before we are able to produce a commercially viable product. Failure to improve on any of our technologies could delay or prevent their successful development for any of our target markets.

Developing any technology into a marketable product is a risky, time consuming and expensive process. You should anticipate that we will encounter setbacks, discrepancies requiring time consuming and costly redesigns and changes and that there is the possibility of outright failure.

We may not meet our product development and commercialization milestones.

We have established milestones, based upon our expectations regarding our technologies at that time, which we use to assess our progress toward developing our products. These milestones relate to technology and design improvements as well as to dates for achieving development goals. If our products exhibit technical defects or are unable to meet cost or performance goals, our commercialization schedule could be delayed and potential purchasers of our initial commercial products may decline to purchase such products or may opt to pursue alternative products.



21



We may also experience shortages of monitors, sensors or bases due to manufacturing difficulties. Multiple suppliers provide the components used in our devices. Our manufacturing operations could be disrupted by fire, earthquake or other natural disaster, a labor-related disruption, failure in supply or other logistical channels, electrical outages or other reasons. If there were a disruption to manufacturing facilities, we would be unable to manufacture devices until we have restored and re-qualified our manufacturing capability or developed alternative manufacturing facilities.

Generally, we have made technological advances meeting our milestone schedules. We can give no assurance that our commercialization schedule will continue to be met as we further develop the Bioflux or any of our other proposed products.

Our Business is dependent upon physicians utilizing our monitoring solution when prescribing cardiac monitoring; if we fail in convincing physicians in utilizing our solution, our revenue could fail to grow and could decrease.

The success of our planned cardiac monitoring business is expected to be dependent upon physicians utilizing our solution when prescribing cardiac monitoring to their patients. The utilization of our solution by physicians for use in the prescription of cardiac monitoring will be directly influenced by a number of factors, including:

the ability of the physicians with whom we work to obtain sufficient reimbursement and be paid in a timely manner for the professional services they provide in connection with the use of our monitoring solutions;

continuing to establish ourselves as an arrhythmia monitoring technology company;

our ability to educate physicians regarding the benefits of MCT over alternative diagnostic monitoring solutions;

our demonstrating that our proposed products are reliable and supported by us in the field;

supplying and servicing sufficient quantities of products directly or through marketing alliances; and

pricing products competitively in light of the current macroeconomic environment, which, particularly in the case of the medical device industry, are becoming increasingly price sensitive.

If we are unable to educate physicians regarding the benefits of MCT and unable to drive physician utilization, revenue from the provision of our arrhythmia monitoring solutions could fail to grow or even potentially decrease.



22



We are subject to extensive governmental regulations relating to the manufacturing, labeling and marketing of our products.

Our medical technology products and operations are subject to regulation by the FDA, Health Canada and other governmental authorities both inside and outside of the United States. These agencies enforce laws and regulations that govern the development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, advertising, marketing and distribution, and market surveillance of our medical products.

Under the United States Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, medical devices are classified into one of three classes — Class I, Class II or Class III — depending on the degree of risk associated with each medical device and the extent of control needed to ensure safety and effectiveness. We believe our current or planned products will be Class I (with respect to software) or Class II (with respect to hardware) medical devices. Class I devices are those for which safety and effectiveness can be assured by adherence to a set of guidelines, which include compliance with the applicable portions of the FDA's Quality System Regulation, facility registration and product listing, reporting of adverse medical events, and appropriate, truthful and non-misleading labeling, advertising, and promotional materials. Class II devices are subject to additional controls, including full applicability of the Quality System Regulations, and requirements for 510(k) pre-market notification.

In addition to regulations in the United States, we will be subject to a variety of foreign regulations governing clinical trials and commercial sales and distribution of our products in foreign countries. Whether or not we obtain FDA approval for a product, we must obtain approval of a product by the comparable regulatory authorities of foreign countries before we can commence clinical trials or marketing of the product in those countries. The approval process varies from country to country, and the time may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA approval. The requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials, product licensing, pricing and reimbursement vary greatly from country to country.

The policies of the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities may change and additional government regulations may be enacted which could prevent or delay regulatory approval of our products and could also increase the cost of regulatory compliance. We cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of adverse governmental regulation that might arise from future legislative or administrative action, either in the United States or abroad.

Following the introduction of a product, these agencies will also periodically review our design and manufacturing processes and product performance. The process of complying with the applicable good manufacturing practices, adverse event reporting, clinical trial and other requirements can be costly and time consuming, and could delay or prevent the production, manufacturing or sale of our products. In addition, if we fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, it could result in fines, delays or suspensions of regulatory clearances, closure of manufacturing sites, seizures or recalls of products and damage to our reputation. Recent changes in enforcement practice by the FDA and other agencies have resulted in increased enforcement activity, which increases the compliance risk for the Company and other companies in our industry. In addition, governmental agencies may impose new requirements regarding registration, labeling or prohibited materials that may require us to modify or re-register products already on the market or otherwise impact our ability to market our products in those countries. Once clearance or approval has been obtained for a product, there is an obligation to ensure that all applicable FDA, Health Canada and other regulatory requirements continue to be met.



23



We may be subject to penalties and may be precluded from marketing our products if we fail to comply with extensive governmental regulations.

We believe that our proposed products are categorized as Class I (with respect to software) or Class II (with respect to hardware). Class I devices are those for which safety and effectiveness can be assured by adherence to a set of guidelines, which include compliance with the applicable portions of the FDA's Quality System Regulation, facility registration and product listing, reporting of adverse medical events, and appropriate, truthful and non-misleading labeling, advertising, and promotional materials. However, the FDA has not made any determination about whether our specific medical products are Class I or Class II medical devices. While such a determination is not necessary in order for us to list a Class I device with the FDA and bring that device to the U.S. market, we may decide to get clarification from the FDA prior to introducing a product into the market. From time to time, the FDA may disagree with the classification of a new Class I medical device and require the manufacturer of that device to apply for approval as a Class II or Class III medical device. In the event that the FDA determines that our Class I medical products should be classified as Class II or Class III medical devices, we could be precluded from marketing the devices for clinical use within the United States for months, years or longer, depending on the specific change the classification. Reclassification of our Class I medical products as Class II or Class III medical devices could significantly increase our regulatory costs, including the timing and expense associated with required clinical trials and other costs.

The FDA and non-U.S. regulatory authorities require that our products be manufactured according to rigorous standards. These regulatory requirements may significantly increase our production costs and may even prevent us from making our products in amounts sufficient to meet market demand. If we change our approved manufacturing process, the FDA may need to review the process before it may be used. Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements discussed could subject us to enforcement actions, including warning letters, fines, injunctions and civil penalties, recall or seizure of our products, operating restrictions, partial suspension or total shutdown of our production, and criminal prosecution.

Federal, state and non-U.S. regulations regarding the manufacture and sale of medical devices are subject to future changes. The complexity, timeframes and costs associated with obtaining marketing clearances are unknown. Although we cannot predict the impact, if any, these changes might have on our business, the impact could be material.

Injuries caused by the malfunction or misuse of cardiac monitoring devices, even where such malfunction or misuse occurs with respect to one of our competitor’s products, could cause regulatory agencies to implement more conservative regulations on the medical cardiac monitoring industry, which could significantly increase our operating costs.



24




If we are not able to both obtain and maintain adequate levels of third-party reimbursement for our products, it would have a material adverse effect on our business.

Healthcare providers and related facilities are generally reimbursed for their services through payment systems managed by various governmental agencies worldwide, private insurance companies, and managed care organizations. The manner and level of reimbursement in any given case may depend on the site of care, the procedure(s) performed, the final patient diagnosis, the device(s) utilized, available budget, the efficacy, safety, performance and cost-effectiveness of our planned products and services, or a combination of these or other factors, and coverage and payment levels are determined at each payer’s discretion. The coverage policies and reimbursement levels of these third-party payers may impact the decisions of healthcare providers and facilities regarding which medical products they purchase and the prices they are willing to pay for those products. Thus, changes in reimbursement levels or methods may either positively or negatively impact sales of our products.

We have no direct control over payer decision-making with respect to coverage and payment levels for our medical device products. Additionally, we expect many payers to continue to explore cost-containment strategies (e.g., comparative and cost-effectiveness analyses, so-called “pay-for-performance” programs implemented by various public and private payers, and expansion of payment bundling schemes such as Accountable Care Organizations, and other such methods that shift medical cost risk to providers) that may potentially impact coverage and/or payment levels for our current products or products we develop.

The ability of physicians and other providers to successfully utilize our cardiac monitoring solution and successfully allow payors to reimburse for the physicians’ technical and professional fees is critical to our business because physicians and their patients will select arrhythmia monitoring solutions other than ours in the event that payors refuse to adequately reimburse our technical fees and physicians' professional fees.

Changes in reimbursement practices of third-party payers could affect the demand for our products and the prices at which they are sold.

The sales of our proposed products could depend, in part, on the extent to which healthcare providers and facilities or individual users are reimbursed by government authorities, private insurers and other third-party payers for the costs of our products or the services performed with our products. The coverage policies and reimbursement levels of third-party payers, which can vary among public and private sources and by country, may affect which products customers’ purchase and the prices they are willing to pay for those products in a particular jurisdiction. Reimbursement rates can also affect the acceptance rate of new technologies. Legislative or administrative reforms to reimbursement systems in the United States or abroad, or changes in reimbursement rates by private payers, could significantly reduce reimbursement for procedures using the Company’s products or result in denial of reimbursement for those products, which would adversely affect customer demand or the price customers may be willing to pay for such products.



25



We may experience difficulty in obtaining reimbursement for our services from commercial payors that consider our technology to be experimental and investigational, which would adversely affect our revenue and operating results.

Many commercial payors refuse to enter into contracts to reimburse the fees associated with medical devices or services that such payors determine to be "experimental and investigational." Commercial payors typically label medical devices or services as "experimental and investigational" until such devices or services have demonstrated product superiority evidenced by a randomized clinical trial.

Clinical trials have been performed on other mobile cardiac telemetry devices, proving higher diagnostic yield than traditional event loop monitoring. Certain remaining commercial payors, however, have stated that they do not believe the data from the clinical trials justifies the removal of the experimental designation for mobile cardiac telemetry solutions. As a result, certain commercial payors may refuse to reimburse the technical and professional fees associated with cardiac monitoring solutions such as the one expected to be offered by Biotricity.

If commercial payors decide not reimburse physicians or providers for their services during the utilization of our cardiac monitoring solutions, our revenue could fail to grow and could decrease.

Reimbursement by Medicare is highly regulated and subject to change; our failure to comply with applicable regulations, could decrease our expected revenue and may subject us to penalties or have an adverse impact on our business.

The Medicare program is administered by CMS, which imposes extensive and detailed requirements on medical services providers, including, but not limited to, rules that govern how we structure our relationships with physicians, and how and where we provide our arrhythmia monitoring solutions. Our failure to comply with applicable Medicare rules could result in discontinuing the ability for physicians to receive reimbursement as they will likely utilize our cardiac monitoring solution under the Medicare payment program, civil monetary penalties, and/or criminal penalties, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and revenues.

Consolidation of commercial payors could result in payors eliminating coverage of mobile cardiac monitoring solutions or reducing reimbursement rates.

When payors combine their operations, the combined company may elect to reimburse physicians for cardiac monitoring services at the lowest rate paid by any of the participants in the consolidation. If one of the payors participating in the consolidation does not reimburse for these services at all, the combined company may elect not to reimburse at any rate. Reimbursement rates tend to be lower for larger payors. As a result, as payors consolidate, our expected average reimbursement rate may decline.

Product defects could adversely affect the results of our operations.

The design, manufacture and marketing of our products involve certain inherent risks. Manufacturing or design defects, unanticipated use of our products, or inadequate disclosure of risks relating to the use of our products can lead to injury or other adverse events. These events could lead to recalls or safety alerts relating to our products (either voluntary or required by the FDA, Health Canada or similar governmental authorities in other countries), and could result, in certain cases, in the removal of a product from the market. A recall could result in significant costs, as well as negative publicity and damage to our reputation that could reduce demand for our products. Personal injuries relating to the use of our products could also result in product liability claims being brought against us. In some circumstances, such adverse events could also cause delays in new product approvals.



26



Interruptions or delays in telecommunications systems or in the data services provided to us by cellular communication providers or the loss of our wireless or data services could impair the delivery of our cardiac monitoring services.

The success of Biotricity’s cardiac monitoring services will be dependent upon our ability to store, retrieve, process and manage data and to maintain and upgrade our data processing and communication capabilities. The monitoring solution relies on a third party wireless carrier to transmit data over its data network. All data sent by our monitors via this wireless data network or via landline is expected to be routed directly to data centers and subsequently routed to our monitoring center. We are therefore dependent upon third party wireless carrier to provide data transmission and data hosting services to us. If we lose wireless carrier services, we would be forced to seek alternative providers of data transmission and data hosting services, which might not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

As we expand our commercial activities, an increased burden is expected to be be placed upon our data processing systems and the equipment upon which they rely. Interruptions of our data networks, or the data networks of our wireless carrier, for any extended length of time, loss of stored data or other computer problems could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. Frequent or persistent interruptions in our arrhythmia monitoring services could cause permanent harm to our reputation and could cause current or potential users or prescribing physicians to believe that our systems are unreliable, leading them to switch to our competitors. Such interruptions could result in liability, claims and litigation against us for damages or injuries resulting from the disruption in service.

Our systems are also expected to be vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunication failures, terrorist attacks, computer viruses, break-ins, sabotage, and acts of vandalism. Despite any precautions that we may take, the occurrence of a natural disaster or other unanticipated problems could result in lengthy interruptions in these services. We do not carry business interruption insurance to protect against losses that may result from interruptions in service as a result of system failures. Moreover, the communications and information technology industries are subject to rapid and significant changes, and our ability to operate and compete is dependent on our ability to update and enhance the communication technologies used in our systems and services.

We could be exposed to significant liability claims if we are unable to obtain insurance at acceptable costs and adequate levels or otherwise protect ourselves against potential product liability claims.

The testing, manufacture, marketing and sale of medical devices entail the inherent risk of liability claims or product recalls. Product liability insurance is expensive and may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. A successful product liability claim or product recall could inhibit or prevent the successful commercialization of our products, cause a significant financial burden on the Company, or both, which in either case could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.



27




We require additional capital to support our present business plan and our anticipated business growth, and such capital may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, which would adversely affect our ability to operate.

We will require additional funds to further develop our business plan. Based on our current operating plans, we require a minimum of $6 million to fund our planned operations necessary to introduce Bioflux into the market. We can give no assurance that we will be successful in raising any funds. Additionally, if we are unable to generate sufficient revenues from our operating activities, we may need to raise additional funds through equity offerings or otherwise in order to meet our expected future liquidity requirements, including to introduce our other planned products or to pursue new product opportunities. Any such financing that we undertake will likely be dilutive to current stockholders and you.

We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth, including patent or other intellectual property asset creation. In addition, we may also need additional funds to respond to business opportunities and challenges, including our ongoing operating expenses, protecting our intellectual property, satisfying debt payment obligations, developing new lines of business and enhancing our operating infrastructure. While we may need to seek additional funding for such purposes, we may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, the terms of our financings may be dilutive to, or otherwise adversely affect, holders of its common stock. We may also seek additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or other third parties. We may not be able to negotiate any such arrangements on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain additional funding on a timely basis, we may be required to curtail or terminate some or all of our business plans.

We cannot predict our future capital needs and we may not be able to secure additional financing.

We will need to raise additional funds in the future to fund our working capital needs and to fund further expansion of our business. We may require additional equity or debt financings, collaborative arrangements with corporate partners or funds from other sources for these purposes. No assurance can be given that necessary funds will be available for us to finance our development on acceptable terms, if at all. Furthermore, such additional financings may involve substantial dilution of our stockholders or may require that we relinquish rights to certain of our technologies or products. In addition, we may experience operational difficulties and delays due to working capital restrictions. If adequate funds are not available from operations or additional sources of financing, we may have to delay or scale back our growth plans.



28



The results of our research and development efforts are uncertain and there can be no assurance of the commercial success of our products.

We believe that we will need to incur additional research and development expenditures to continue development of our existing proposed products as well as research and development expenditures to develop new products and services. The products and services we are developing and may develop in the future may not be technologically successful. In addition, the length of our product and service development cycle may be greater than we originally expected and we may experience delays in product development. If our resulting products and services are not technologically successful, they may not achieve market acceptance or compete effectively with our competitors’ products and services.

If we fail to retain certain of our key personnel and attract and retain additional qualified personnel, we might not be able to pursue our growth strategy.

Our future success will depend upon the continued service of Waqaas Al-Siddiq, our President and Chief Executive Officer. Although we believe that our relationship with him is positive, there can be no assurance that his services will continue to be available to us in the future. We do not carry any key man life insurance policies on any of our existing or proposed executive officers.

The impact of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act remains uncertain.

In 2010, significant reforms to the health care system were adopted as law in the United States. The law includes provisions that, among other things, reduce or limit Medicare reimbursement, require all individuals to have health insurance (with limited exceptions) and impose increased taxes. These factors, in turn, could result in reduced demand for our products and increased downward pricing pressure. Specifically, the law requires the medical device industry to subsidize health care reform in the form of a 2.3% excise tax on United States sales of most medical devices. The excise tax will increase our operating expenses. Because other parts of the 2010 health care law remain subject to implementation, the long-term impact on us is uncertain. The new law or any future legislation could reduce medical procedure volumes, lower reimbursement for our products, and impact the demand for our products or the prices at which we sell our products. Accordingly, while it is too early to understand and predict the ultimate impact of the new law on our business, the legislation and resulting regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.

We will not be profitable unless we can demonstrate that our products can be manufactured at low prices.

To date, we have focused primarily on research and development of the first generation version of the Bioflux, as well as starting the prototyping of Biolife. Consequently, we have no experience in manufacturing these products on a commercial basis. We may manufacture our products through third-party manufacturers. We can offer no assurance that either we or our manufacturing partners will develop efficient, automated, low-cost manufacturing capabilities and processes to meet the quality, price, engineering, design and production standards or production volumes required to successfully mass market our products. Even if we or our manufacturing partners are successful in developing such manufacturing capability and processes, we do not know whether we or they will be timely in meeting our product commercialization schedule or the production and delivery requirements of potential customers. A failure to develop such manufacturing processes and capabilities could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.



29



Our profitability in part is dependent on material and other manufacturing costs. We are unable to offer any assurance that either we or a manufacturing partner will be able to reduce costs to a level which will allow production of a competitive product or that any product produced using lower cost materials and manufacturing processes will not suffer from a reduction in performance, reliability and longevity.

If we or our suppliers fail to achieve or maintain regulatory approval of manufacturing facilities, our growth could be limited and our business could be harmed.

We currently assemble our devices in our California facility. In order to maintain compliance with FDA and other regulatory requirements, our manufacturing facilities must be periodically re-evaluated and qualified under a quality system to ensure they meet production and quality standards. Suppliers of components and products used to manufacture our devices must also comply with FDA regulatory requirements, which often require significant resources and subject us and our suppliers to potential regulatory inspections and stoppages. If we or our suppliers do not maintain regulatory approval for our manufacturing operations, our business could be adversely affected.

Our dependence on a limited number of suppliers may prevent us from delivering our devices on a timely basis.

We currently rely on a limited number of suppliers of components for our devices. If these suppliers became unable to provide components in the volumes needed or at an acceptable price, we would have to identify and qualify acceptable replacements from alternative sources of supply. The process of qualifying suppliers is lengthy. Delays or interruptions in the supply of our requirements could limit or stop our ability to provide sufficient quantities of devices on a timely basis or meet demand for our services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our operations in international markets involve inherent risks that we may not be able to control.

Our business plan includes the marketing and sale of our proposed products in international markets. Accordingly, our results could be materially and adversely affected by a variety of uncontrollable and changing factors relating to international business operations, including:

·

Macroeconomic conditions adversely affecting geographies where we intend to do business;

·

Foreign currency exchange rates;

·

Political or social unrest or economic instability in a specific country or region;

·

Higher costs of doing business in foreign countries;

·

Infringement claims on foreign patents, copyrights or trademark rights;

·

Difficulties in staffing and managing operations across disparate geographic areas;

·

Difficulties associated with enforcing agreements and intellectual property rights through foreign legal systems;

·

Trade protection measures and other regulatory requirements, which affect our ability to import or export our products from or to various countries;

·

Adverse tax consequences;

·

Unexpected changes in legal and regulatory requirements;



30



·

Military conflict, terrorist activities, natural disasters and medical epidemics; and

·

Our ability to recruit and retain channel partners in foreign jurisdictions.

Our financial results may be affected by fluctuations in exchange rates and our current currency hedging strategy may not be sufficient to counter such fluctuations.

Our financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, while a significant portion of our business is conducted, and a substantial portion of our operating expenses are payable, in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, specifically the Canadian dollar. Due to the substantial volatility of currency exchange rates, exchange rate fluctuations may have a positive or adverse impact on our future revenues or expenses presented in our financial statements. We may use financial instruments, principally forward foreign currency contracts, in our management of foreign currency exposure. These contracts would primarily require us to purchase and sell certain foreign currencies with or for U.S. dollars at contracted rates. We may be exposed to a credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties of these contracts. In addition, these financial instruments may not adequately manage our foreign currency exposure. Our results of operations could be adversely affected if we are unable to successfully manage currency fluctuations in the future.

Risks Related to Our Industry

The industry in which we operate is highly competitive and subject to rapid technological change. If our competitors are better able to develop and market products that are safer, more effective, less costly, easier to use, or are otherwise more attractive, we may be unable to   compete effectively with other companies.

The medical technology industry is characterized by intense competition and rapid technological change, and we will face competition on the basis of product features, clinical outcomes, price, services and other factors. Competitors may include large medical device and other companies, some of which have significantly greater financial and marketing resources than we do, and firms that are more specialized than we are with respect to particular markets. Our competition may respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies, undertake more extensive marketing campaigns, have greater financial, marketing and other resources than ours or may be more successful in attracting potential customers, employees and strategic partners.

Our competitive position will depend on multiple, complex factors, including our ability to achieve regulatory clearance and market acceptance for our products, develop new products, implement production and marketing plans, secure regulatory approvals for products under development and protect our intellectual property. In some instances, competitors may also offer, or may attempt to develop, alternative systems that may be delivered without a medical device or a medical device superior to ours. The development of new or improved products, processes or technologies by other companies may render our products or proposed products obsolete or less competitive. The entry into the market of manufacturers located in low-cost manufacturing locations may also create pricing pressure, particularly in developing markets. Our future success depends, among other things, upon our ability to compete effectively against current technology, as well as to respond effectively to technological advances or changing regulatory requirements, and upon our ability to successfully implement our marketing strategies and execute our research and development plan. Our research and development efforts are aimed, in part, at solving increasingly complex problems, as well as creating new technologies, and we do not expect that all of our projects will be successful. If our research and development efforts are unsuccessful, our future results of operations could be materially harmed.



31



We face competition from other medical device companies that focus on similar markets.

We face competition from primarily five companies that also focus on the ECG market that we intend to enter: CardioNet, LifeWatch, eCardio, Linecare, ScottCare and TZ Medical. These companies have longer operating histories and may have greater name recognition and substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than us. Many of these companies also have FDA or other applicable governmental approval to market and sell their products, and more extensive customer bases, broader customer relationships and broader industry alliances than us, including relationships with many of our potential customers. Increased competition from any of these sources could result in our failure to achieve and maintain an adequate level of customers and market share to support the cost of our operations.

Our industry is experiencing greater scrutiny and regulation by governmental authorities, which may lead to greater governmental regulation in the future.

In recent years, the medical device industry has been subject to increased regulatory scrutiny, including by the FDA, Health Canada and numerous other federal, state, provincial and foreign governmental authorities. This has included increased regulation, enforcement, inspections, and governmental investigations of the medical device industry and disclosure of financial relationships with health care professionals. We anticipate that governments will continue to scrutinize our industry closely, and that additional regulation by governmental authorities, both foreign and domestic, may increase compliance costs, exposure to litigation and other adverse effects to our operations.

Unsuccessful clinical trials or procedures relating to products under development could have a material adverse effect on our prospects.

The regulatory approval process for new products and new indications for existing products requires extensive clinical trials and procedures, including early clinical experiences and regulatory studies. Unfavorable or inconsistent clinical data from current or future clinical trials or procedures conducted by us, our competitors, or third parties, or perceptions regarding this clinical data, could adversely affect our ability to obtain necessary approvals and the market's view of our future prospects. Such clinical trials and procedures are inherently uncertain and there can be no assurance that these trials or procedures will be completed in a timely or cost-effective manner or result in a commercially viable product. Failure to successfully complete these trials or procedures in a timely and cost-effective manner could have a material adverse effect on our prospects. Clinical trials or procedures may experience significant setbacks even after earlier trials have shown promising results. Further, preliminary results from clinical trials or procedures may be contradicted by subsequent clinical analysis. In addition, results from our clinical trials or procedures may not be supported by actual long-term studies or clinical experience. If preliminary clinical results are later contradicted, or if initial results cannot be supported by actual long-term studies or clinical experience, our business could be adversely affected. Clinical trials or procedures may be suspended or terminated by us, the FDA or other regulatory authorities at any time if it is believed that the trial participants face unacceptable health risks.



32



Intellectual property litigation and infringement claims could cause us to incur significant expenses or prevent us from selling certain of our products.

The industry we operate in, in particular, the medical device industry is characterized by extensive intellectual property litigation and, from time to time, we might be the subject of claims by third parties of potential infringement or misappropriation. Regardless of outcome, such claims are expensive to defend and divert the time and effort of our management and operating personnel from other business issues. A successful claim or claims of patent or other intellectual property infringement against us could result in our payment of significant monetary damages and/or royalty payments or negatively impact our ability to sell current or future products in the affected category and could have a material adverse effect on its business, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, our business and competitive position would be harmed.

We plan on relying on trade secrets, including unpatented know-how, technology and other proprietary information, to maintain our competitive position. We will seek to protect these trade secrets, in part, by entering into non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with parties who have access to them, such as our employees, corporate collaborators, outside scientific collaborators, contract manufacturers, consultants, advisors and other third parties. We will seek to protect our confidential proprietary information, in part, by entering into confidentiality and invention or patent assignment agreements with our employees and consultants. Moreover, to the extent we enter into such agreements, any of these parties may breach the agreements and disclose our proprietary information, including our trade secrets, and we may not be able to obtain adequate remedies for such breaches. Enforcing a claim that a party illegally disclosed or misappropriated a trade secret is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, some courts inside and outside the United States are less willing or unwilling to protect trade secrets. If any of our trade secrets were to be lawfully obtained or independently developed by a competitor, we would have no right to prevent them, or those to whom they communicate it, from using that technology or information to compete with us. If any of our trade secrets were to be disclosed to or independently developed by a competitor, our competitive position would be harmed. In general, any loss of trade secret protection or other unpatented proprietary rights could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

If we are unable to protect our patents or other proprietary rights, or if we infringe on the patents or proprietary rights of others, our competitiveness and business prospects may be materially damaged.

We have filed for one patent in Canada. We may continue to seek patent protection for our proprietary technology. Seeking patent protection is a lengthy and costly process, and there can be no assurance that patents will be issued from any pending applications, or that any claims allowed from existing or pending patents will be sufficiently broad or strong to protect our proprietary technology. There is also no guarantee that any patents we hold will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or that the patent rights granted will provide competitive advantages to us. Our competitors have developed and may continue to develop and obtain patents for technologies that are similar or superior to our technologies. In addition, the laws of foreign jurisdictions in which we develop, manufacture or sell our products may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent, as do the laws of Canada or the United States.



33



Adverse outcomes in current or future legal disputes regarding patent and other intellectual property rights could result in the loss of our intellectual property rights, subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require us to seek licenses from third parties on terms that may not be reasonable or favorable to us, prevent us from manufacturing, importing or selling our products, or compel us to redesign our products to avoid infringing third parties’ intellectual property. As a result, we may be required to incur substantial costs to prosecute, enforce or defend our intellectual property rights if they are challenged. Any of these circumstances could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and resources or results of operations.

Dependence on patent and other proprietary rights and failing to protect such rights or to be successful in litigation related to such rights may result in our payment of significant monetary damages or impact offerings in our product portfolios.

Our long-term success largely depends on our ability to market technologically competitive products. If we fail to obtain or maintain adequate intellectual property protection, we may not be able to prevent third parties from using our proprietary technologies or may lose access to technologies critical to our products. Also, our currently pending or future patents applications may not result in issued patents, and issued patents are subject to claims concerning priority, scope and other issues.

Furthermore, to the extent we do not file applications for patents domestically or internationally, we may not be able to prevent third parties from using our proprietary technologies or may lose access to technologies critical to our products in other countries.

Enforcement of federal and state laws regarding privacy and security of patient information may adversely affect our business, financial condition or operations.

The use and disclosure of certain health care information by health care providers and their business associates have come under increasing public scrutiny. Recent federal standards under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, establish rules concerning how individually-identifiable health information may be used, disclosed and protected. Historically, state law has governed confidentiality issues, and HIPAA preserves these laws to the extent they are more protective of a patient's privacy or provide the patient with more access to his or her health information. As a result of the implementation of the HIPAA regulations, many states are considering revisions to their existing laws and regulations that may or may not be more stringent or burdensome than the federal HIPAA provisions. We must operate our business in a manner that complies with all applicable laws, both federal and state, and that does not jeopardize the ability of our customers to comply with all applicable laws. We believe that our operations are consistent with these legal standards. Nevertheless, these laws and regulations present risks for health care providers and their business associates that provide services to patients in multiple states. Because these laws and regulations are recent, and few have been interpreted by government regulators or courts, our interpretations of these laws and regulations may be incorrect. If a challenge to our activities is successful, it could have an adverse effect on our operations, may require us to forego relationships with customers in certain states and may restrict the territory available to us to expand our business. In addition, even if our interpretations of HIPAA and other federal and state laws and regulations are correct, we could be held liable for unauthorized uses or disclosures of patient information as a result of inadequate systems and controls to protect this information or as a result of the theft of information by unauthorized computer programmers who penetrate our network security. Enforcement of these laws against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.



34



We may be subject, directly or indirectly, to federal and state health care fraud and abuse laws and regulations and if we are unable to fully comply with such laws, the Company could face substantial penalties.

Our operations may be directly or indirectly affected by various broad state and federal health care fraud and abuse laws, including the Federal Healthcare Programs' Anti-Kickback Statute and the Stark law. If our present or future operations are found to be in violation of these laws, we or our officers may be subject to civil or criminal penalties, including large monetary penalties, damages, fines, imprisonment and exclusion from Medicare and Medicaid program participation. If enforcement action were to occur, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We may be subject to federal and state false claims laws which impose substantial penalties.

Many of the physicians and patients whom we expect to use our services will file claims for reimbursement with government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. As a result, we may be subject to the federal False Claims Act if we knowingly “cause” the filing of false claims. Violations may result in substantial civil penalties, including treble damages. The federal False Claims Act also contains “whistleblower” or “qui tam” provisions that allow private individuals to bring actions on behalf of the government alleging that the defendant has defrauded the government. In recent years, the number of suits brought in the medical industry by private individuals has increased dramatically. Various states have enacted laws modeled after the federal False Claims Act, including “qui tam” provisions, and some of these laws apply to claims filed with commercial insurers. We are unable to predict whether we could be subject to actions under the federal False Claims Act, or the impact of such actions. However, the costs of defending claims under the False Claims Act, as well as sanctions imposed under the False Claims Act, could adversely affect our results of operations.

Changes in the health care industry or tort reform could reduce the number of arrhythmia monitoring solutions ordered by physicians, which could result in a decline in the demand for our planned solutions, pricing pressure and decreased revenue.

Changes in the health care industry directed at controlling health care costs or perceived over-utilization of arrhythmia monitoring solutions could reduce the volume of solutions ordered by physicians. If more health care cost controls are broadly instituted throughout the health care industry, the volume of cardiac monitoring solutions could decrease, resulting in pricing pressure and declining demand for our planned services, which could harm our operating results. In addition, it has been suggested that some physicians order arrhythmia monitoring solutions, even when the services may have limited clinical utility, primarily to establish a record for defense in the event of a claim of medical malpractice against the physician. Legal changes increasing the difficulty of initiating medical malpractice cases, known as tort reform, could reduce the amount of our services prescribed as physicians respond to reduced risks of litigation, which could harm our operating results.

Risks Related to Our Securities and Other Risks

An active and visible public trading market for our Common Stock may not develop.

We cannot predict whether an active market for our Common Stock will ever develop in the future. In the absence of an active trading market:

·

Investors may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations;



35



·

Market visibility for shares of our Common Stock may be limited; and

·

A lack of visibility for shares of our Common Stock may have a depressive effect on the market price for shares of our Common Stock.

Assuming we can find market makers to establish quotations for our Common Stock, we expect that our Common Stock will be quoted over-the-counter on a market operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc. These markets are relatively unorganized, inter-dealer, over-the-counter markets that provide significantly less liquidity than NASDAQ or the NYSE AMEX. No assurances can be given that our Common Stock, even if quoted on such markets, will ever actively trade on such markets, much less a senior market like NASDAQ or NYSE AMEX. In this event, there would be a highly illiquid market for our Common Stock and you may be unable to dispose of your Common Stock at desirable prices or at all. Moreover, there is a risk that our Common Stock could be delisted from its current tier of the OTC Market, in which case our stock may be quoted on markets even more illiquid.

The market price of our common stock may be volatile.

The market price for our Common Stock may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors including the following:

·

Our ability to successfully bring any of our proposed or planned products to market;

·

Actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly or annual operating results;

·

Changes in financial or operational estimates or projections;

·

Conditions in markets generally;

·

Changes in the economic performance or market valuations of companies similar to ours;

·

Announcements by us or our competitors of new products, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

·

Our intellectual property position; and

·

General economic or political conditions in the United States or elsewhere.

In addition, the securities market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of shares of our Common Stock.

Because we were engaged in a transaction that can be generally characterized as a “reverse merger,” we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.

Additional risks may exist since we were engaged in a transaction that can be generally characterized as a “reverse merger.” Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of the Company since there is little incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of the common stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will want to conduct any secondary offerings on behalf of the Company in the future.



36



Our Company may have undisclosed liabilities and any such liabilities could harm our revenues, business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Before the Acquisition Transaction, iMedical conducted due diligence on our Company customary and appropriate for a transaction similar to the Acquisition Transaction. However, the due diligence process may not reveal all material liabilities of our Company currently existing or which may be asserted in the future against our Company relating to its activities before the consummation of the Acquisition Transaction. In addition, the Exchange Agreement contains representations with respect to the absence of any liabilities. However, there can be no assurance that our Company will not have any liabilities upon the closing of the Acquisition Transaction that we are unaware of or that we will be successful in enforcing any indemnification provisions or that such indemnification provisions will be adequate to reimburse us. Any such liabilities of our Company that survive the Acquisition Transaction could harm our revenues, business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

When the registration statement required to be filed under our existing registration rights obligations become effective, there will be a significant number of shares of common stock eligible for sale, which could depress the market price of such stock.

We are obligated to register for resale all of the approximately 22,500,000 shares of common stock issued or issuable to the iMedical shareholders. Although these shares are subject to a lock-up agreement for a period of no more than one year from the effective date of the registration statement, a large number of shares of our common stock would become available for sale in the public market, which could harm the market price of the stock.

Our largest stockholder will substantially influence our Company for the foreseeable future, including the outcome of matters requiring shareholder approval and such control may prevent you and other stockholders from influencing significant corporate decisions and may result in conflicts of interest that could cause the Company’s stock price to decline.

Upon completion of the Acquisition Transaction, Mr. Al-Siddiq will beneficially own Exchangeable Shares which may be exchanged for approximately 19% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. As a result, he will have the ability to influence the election of our directors and the outcome of corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, such as: (i) a merger or a sale of our Company, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and (iii) amendments to our articles of incorporation and bylaws. This concentration of voting power and control could have a significant effect in delaying, deferring or preventing an action that might otherwise be beneficial to our other shareholders and be disadvantageous to our shareholders with interests different from those entities and individuals. Mr. Al-Siddiq also has significant control over our business, policies and affairs as an executive officer or director of our Company. He may also exert influence in delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company, even if such change in control would benefit the other stockholders of the Company. In addition, the significant concentration of stock ownership may adversely affect the market value of the Company’s common stock due to investors’ perception that conflicts of interest may exist or arise.



37



We currently do not have any independent directors on our Board, which limits our ability to establish effective independent corporate governance procedures.

Our board of directors has significant control over us and we have not established committees comprised of independent directors. We have only one director, who holds executive officer positions and is not independent. Accordingly, he has significant control over all corporate issues. We do not have an audit, compensation, governance or nominating committee comprised of independent directors. Our Board as a whole currently performs these functions. Thus, there is a potential conflict in that our sole director is also engaged in management and participate in decisions concerning management compensation and audit issues, among other issues, that may affect management performance.

Although we intend to add additional members to our Board of Directors as qualified candidates become available, until we have a board of directors that would include a majority of independent members, if ever, there will be limited or no independent oversight of our directors’ decisions and activities.

Material weaknesses may exist when the Company reports on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting for purposes of its reporting requirements.

Following the completion of the Acquisition Transaction, the Company will be required to provide management’s report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, as required by Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley. Material weaknesses may exist when the Company reports on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting for purposes of its reporting requirements under the Exchange Act or Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley following the completion of the Acquisition Transaction. The existence of one or more material weaknesses would preclude a conclusion that the Company maintains effective internal control over financial reporting. Such a conclusion would be required to be disclosed in the Company’s future Annual Reports on Form 10-K and could harm the Company’s reputation and cause the market price of its common stock to drop.

Anti-takeover provisions that may be in the Company’s charter and bylaws may prevent or frustrate attempts by stockholders to change the board of directors or current management and could make a third-party acquisition of the Company difficult.

The Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws may contain provisions that may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. These provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of the Company’s common stock.

If our common stock becomes subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules, broker-dealers may experience difficulty in completing customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected.

The SEC has adopted regulations, which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of our common stock after the consummation of the Acquisition Transaction will likely be less than $5.00 per share and therefore would be a “penny stock” according to SEC rules, unless we are listed on a national securities exchange. Under these rules, broker-dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than institutional accredited investors must:



38




·

Make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser;

·

Receive the purchaser’s prior written agreement to the transaction;

·

Provide the purchaser with risk disclosure documents which identify certain risks associated with investing in “penny stocks” and which describe the market for these “penny stocks” as well as a purchaser’s legal remedies; and

·

Obtain a signed and dated acknowledgment from the purchaser demonstrating that the purchaser has actually received the required risk disclosure document before a transaction in a “penny stock” can be completed.

If our Common Stock becomes subject to these rules, broker-dealers may find it difficult to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected. As a result, the market price of our securities may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell your securities.

The market for penny stocks has experienced numerous frauds and abuses, which could adversely impact investors in our stock.

OTC Market securities are frequent targets of fraud or market manipulation, both because of their generally low prices and because reporting requirements are less stringent than those of the stock exchanges such as NASDAQ. Patterns of fraud and abuse include:

·

Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;

·

Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;

·

“Boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;

·

Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and

·

Wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.

Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.

We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future, and any return on investment may be limited to the value of our stock.

We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock. We plan to retain any future earning to finance growth.

IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE RISKS, BUSINESSES ARE OFTEN SUBJECT TO RISKS NOT FORESEEN OR FULLY APPRECIATED BY MANAGEMENT. IN REVIEWING THIS CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K, POTENTIAL INVESTORS SHOULD KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE MAY BE OTHER POSSIBLE RISKS THAT COULD BE IMPORTANT.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“ MD&A ”) covers information pertaining to the Company up to September 30, 2015 and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, as well as the unaudited financial statements and related notes of the Company for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015. Except as otherwise noted, the financial information contained in this MD&A and in the financial statements has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain information contained in this MD&A includes “forward-looking statements.” Statements which are not historical reflect our current expectations and projections about our future results, performance, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations, prospects and opportunities and are based upon information currently available to us and our management and their interpretation of what is believed to be significant factors affecting our existing and proposed business, including many assumptions regarding future events. Actual results, performance, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations, prospects and opportunities could differ materially and perhaps substantially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements as a result of various risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those risks described in detail in the section of this Current Report on Form 8-K entitled “Risk Factors” as well as elsewhere in this Current Report.

Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies, and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “could,” “scheduled,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “seek,” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology.

In light of these risks and uncertainties, and especially given the nature of our existing and proposed business, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this section and elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 8-K will in fact occur. Potential investors should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as expressly required by the federal securities laws, there is no undertaking to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason.

Critical Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“ US GAAP ”) and are expressed in United States Dollars. Significant accounting policies are summarized below:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Areas involving significant estimates and assumptions include: deferred income tax assets and related valuation allowance, accruals and valuation of warrants and stock options. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.

Equipment

Equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and depreciated over the estimated useful lives at the following rates and methods:

Computer & Electronics — 3 year straight line

Furniture and Fixtures  — 3 year straight line

Routine repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Improvements, that are betterments, are capitalized at cost. The Company applies a half-year rule in the year of acquisition.

Cash

Cash includes cash on hand and balances with banks.

Research and Development

The Company is engaged in research and development work. Research and development costs, which relate primarily to software development, are charged to operations as incurred. Under certain research and development arrangements with third parties, the Company may be required to make payments that are contingent on the achievement of specific developmental, regulatory and/or commercial milestones. Before a product receives regulatory approval, milestone payments made to third parties are expensed when the milestone is achieved. Milestone payments made to third parties after regulatory approval is received are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the approved product. Research and development costs were $891,719, $832,661 and $241,730 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.



41



Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740.  The Company provides for federal and provincial income taxes payable, as well as for those deferred because of the timing differences between reporting income and expenses for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recoverable or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period of the change. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

·

Level 1 – Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

·

Level 2 – Valuation based on quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.

·

Level 3 – Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value.

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments or interest rates that are comparable to market rates. These financial instruments include cash and accounts payable. The Company's cash, which is carried at fair value, is classified as a Level 1 financial instrument. The Company’s bank accounts are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit, therefore, bear minimal credit risk.



42



Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC Topic 360-10, the Company, on a regular basis, reviews the carrying amount of long-lived assets for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that suggest impairment. The Company determines if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is impaired based on anticipated undiscounted cash flows, before interest, from the use of the asset. In the event of impairment, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined based on appraised value of the assets or the anticipated cash flows from the use of the asset or asset group, discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with the provision of ASC 718, which requires that all share-based payments issued to acquire goods or services, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values, net of estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Compensation expense related to share-based awards is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

The Company accounts for stock based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services, as prescribed by ASC 718-10, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the guidelines in ASC 505-50. The Company issues compensatory shares for services including, but not limited to, executive, management, accounting, operations, corporate communication, financial and administrative consulting services.

Convertible Notes Payable and Derivative Instruments

The Company accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with ASC 815. ASC 815 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes from their host instruments and to account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. ASC 815 provides for an exception to this rule when convertible notes, as host instruments, are deemed to be conventional, as defined by ASC 815-40.

The Company accounts for convertible notes deemed conventional and conversion options embedded in non-conventional convertible notes which qualify as equity under ASC 815, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 470-20, which provides guidance on accounting for convertible securities with beneficial conversion features. Accordingly, the Company records, as a discount to convertible notes, the intrinsic value of such conversion options based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment - Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity'', which revises what qualifies as a discontinued operation, changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. This ASU will be effective for the Company for applicable transactions occurring after October 1, 2015. The Company will prospectively apply the guidance to applicable transactions.

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued a new financial accounting standard on revenue from contracts with customers, Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The accounting standard is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company plans to evaluate the impact of this accounting standard in future.

On August 27, 2014, the FASB issued a new financial accounting standard on going concern, Update 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The standard provides guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern. The amendments in this Update apply to all companies.

They become effective in the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard.

On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts and the accounting for debt issue costs under IFRS. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The amendments in this Update apply to all companies. They become effective for public business entities in the annual period ending after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard.

Results of Operations

From our inception in July 2009 through to September 30, 2015, we have generated a deficit of $7,736,844. We expect to incur additional operating losses during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 and beyond, principally as a result of our continuing anticipated research and development costs and due to anticipated initial limited sales of the Bioflux, our planned first product. When we approach final stages of the anticipated commercialization of the Bioflux, we will have to devote and expect to continue to devote significant resources in the areas of capital expenditures and research and development costs.



44



Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2014 Compared To Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2013

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 were $1,706,202 compared to $652,592 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, as further described below.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, we incurred research and development expenses of $832,661, compared to research and development expenses of $241,730 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The increase in research and development expenses relates primarily to hiring additional members of our research and development team as well as accelerating our research and development activities as we approach the commercialization of our first product.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $873,541, compared to general and administrative expenses of $410,862 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The increase relates primarily to an increase in professional and consulting fees due to acceleration in our activities in connection with our planned commercialization of our first product.

Net Loss

Net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 amounted to $1,706,202, resulting in a loss per share of $0.12, compared to $652,592 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, resulting in a loss per share of $0.07. The increase in the net loss from the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 is primarily due the acceleration of our research and development and commercialization activities in 2014.

Translation Adjustment

Translation adjustment for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $3,050 as compared to translation adjustment of $30,655 for the year ended December 31, 2013. This translation adjustment represents gain resulted from the translation of currency in the financial statements from the Company’s functional currency of Canadian dollars to the reporting currency in U.S. dollars.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared To Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $1,226,899 and $3,693,922 compared to $278,427 and $1,055,662 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, as further described below.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we incurred research and development expenses of $326,206 and $891,719, compared to research and development expenses of $216,967 and $509,958 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in research and development expenses relate primarily to hiring additional members of our research and development team as well as accelerating our research and development activities as we approach the commercialization of our products.



45



For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $900,358 and $2,801,868, as compared to general administrative expenses of $61,460 and $545,704 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase relates primarily to an increase in professional and consulting fees due to acceleration in our activities in connection with our planned commercialization of our first product.

Other Expenses

We recorded accretion expense of $3,014 and change in fair value of derivative liabilities gain of $2,679 in connection with the issuance of convertible promissory notes issued during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 amounted to $1,226,899 and $3,693,922, resulting in a loss per share of $0.08 and $0.23, compared to $278,427 and $1,055,662 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, resulting in a loss per share of $0.03 and $0.10. The increase in the net loss is primarily due the acceleration of our research and development and commercialization activities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Translation Adjustment

Translation adjustment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $(31,388) and $28,257 as compared to translation adjustment of $77,505 and $(64,809) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. This translation adjustment represents gain or (loss) resulted from the translation of currency in the financial statements from the Company’s functional currency of Canadian dollars to the reporting currency in U.S. dollars.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are a development stage company and have not yet realized any revenues from our planned operations. We have working capital of $343,896 at December 31, 2014 and $167,572 at September 30, 2015, and have incurred a deficit of $7,736,844 from inception to September 30, 2015. We have funded operations primarily through the issuance of capital stock and other securities.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, we raised net cash of $1,715,695 by issuance of common shares and exercise of warrants, as compared to $439,031 for the year ended December 31, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we raised net cash of $1,272,546 through the issuance of convertible promissory notes and exercise of warrants, as compared to $545,278 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

As we proceed with the commercialization of the Bioflux product development we have devoted and expect to continue to devote significant resources in the areas of capital expenditures and research and development costs and operations, marketing and sales expenditures.



46



We expect to require additional funds to further develop our business plan, including the anticipated commercialization of the Bioflux and Biolife products. Based on our current operating plans, we will require additional resources to introduce the Bioflux into the Mobile Cardiac Telemetry market and the Biolife device into the consumer market. Since it is impossible to predict with certainty the timing and amount of funds required to launch the Bioflux and Biolife product in any other markets or any of our other proposed products, we anticipate that we will need to raise additional funds through equity or debt offerings or otherwise in order to meet our expected future liquidity requirements. Any such financing that we undertake will likely be dilutive to existing stockholders.

In addition, we expect to also need additional funds to respond to business opportunities and challenges, including our ongoing operating expenses, protecting our intellectual property, developing or acquiring new lines of business and enhancing our operating infrastructure. While we may need to seek additional funding for such purposes, we may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, the terms of our financings may be dilutive to, or otherwise adversely affect, holders of our common stock. We may also seek additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or other third parties. We may not be able to negotiate any such arrangements on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain additional funding on a timely basis, we may be required to curtail or terminate some or all of our product lines.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.


SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table shows the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of February 2, 2016 held by (i) each person known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of our Common Stock; (ii) each director and director nominee; (iii) each executive officer; and (iv) all directors, director nominees and executive officers as a group.

Employment Agreements

Mr. Al-Siddiq is not at this time a party to any employment agreement with the Company.

Corporate Governance

The business and affairs of the Company are managed under the direction of our Board of Directors, which is comprised of Waqaas Al-Siddiq.

Term of Office

Directors are appointed to hold office until the next annual general meeting of stockholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our Board and hold office until removed by our Board.

All officers and directors listed above will remain in office until the next annual meeting of our stockholders, and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Our bylaws provide that officers are appointed annually by our Board and each executive officer serves at the discretion of our Board.

Director Compensation

Our directors are reimbursed for expenses incurred by them in connection with attending board meetings, are eligible for stock option grants but they do not receive any other compensation for serving on the board at this time. We plan to compensate independent directors in the future.

Director Independence

We use the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship, which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

·

The director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company;

·

The director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);

·

A family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company;

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS, PROMOTERS

AND CERTAIN CONTROL PERSONS

As of February 2, 2016, as part of the Acquisition Transaction and the resignation of Mr. Hasan as our Chief Executive Officer, we cancelled an aggregate of 6,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by him.

On August 11, 2014, all the stockholders of Sensor Mobility, including Mr. Al-Siddiq, entered into a series of roll over agreements for the sale of their shares to iMedical. Pursuant to these agreements, all the stockholders of Sensor Mobility received twice the number of shares of iMedical in exchange for their shares in Sensor Mobility. Accordingly, iMedical issued 11,829,500 shares in exchange for 5,914,750 shares of Sensor Mobility, which were subsequently cancelled, effective November 21, 2014. As a result, the former stockholders of Sensor Mobility, including Mr. Al-Siddiq, became the majority stockholders of iMedical. Mr. Al-Siddiq was also the Chief Technology Officer of Sensor Mobility from July 2010 through July 2014.

In May 2015, iMedical repurchased 1,100,000 of its outstanding common shares at a price per share of CDN$0.0001 from 2427304 Ontario Inc., which is beneficially owned by Geoffrey Smith, a former board member. These shares were cancelled upon their repurchase.


MARKET PRICE AND DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Market Information

Our common stock is listed on OTCQB marketplace, operated by OTC Markets Group under the symbol “BTCY” since February 1, 2016. Prior to that, our common stock was traded under the symbol “MTSU.” However, there is no active market for our Common Stock and there has been no material trading of our Common Stock.

Holders

As of and after giving effect to the Acquisition Transaction, 11,165,000 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding, which were held by approximately 23 holders of record. Of such shares, up to 750,000 shares of our common stock are held in escrow and subject to forfeiture in the event we are not able to raise $6 million within 6 months of the date of the Acquisition Transaction. Such amounts do not include an aggregate of 13,835,000 shares of our common stock that are issuable upon exchange of the Exchangeable Shares, which were held by approximately 34 holders of record.



53



Penny Stock

Our Common Stock is subject to provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, commonly referred to as the “penny stock rule.” Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stock, and Rule 15g-9(d) incorporates the definition of “penny stock” that is found in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. The SEC generally defines a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The Company is subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules.

Since the Common Stock will be deemed to be penny stock, trading in the shares of our common stock is subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. “Accredited investors” are persons with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse. For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such security and must have the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction of a risk disclosure document, prepared by the SEC, relating to the penny stock market. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks held in an account and information to the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, these rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealer to trade and/or maintain a market in our common stock and may affect the ability of the Company’s stockholders to sell their shares of common stock.

Stock Option and Incentive Plans

We adopted a new equity incentive plan effective as of February 2, 2016 to attract and retain employees, directors and consultants. The equity incentive plan is administered by our Board of Directors which may determine, among other things, the (a) terms and conditions of any option or stock purchase right granted, including the exercise price and the vesting schedule, (b) persons who are to receive options and stock purchase rights and (c) the number of shares to be subject to each option and stock purchase right. The equity incentive plan may also be administered by a special committee, as determined by the Board of Directors.

The maximum aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may be issued under the equity incentive plan is 3,750,000, which, except as provided in the plan shall automatically increase on January 1 of each year for no more than 10 years, so the number of shares that may be issued is an amount no greater than 15% of our outstanding shares of common stock and Exchangeable Shares as of such January 1. The equity incentive plan provides for the grant of (i) “incentive” options (qualified under section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) to our employees and (ii) nonstatutory options and restricted stock to our employees, directors or consultants.



54



Dividends

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and we intend to retain all of our earnings, if any, to finance our growth and operations and to fund the expansion of our business. Payment of any dividends will be made in the discretion of our Board of Directors, after our taking into account various factors, including our financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs and plans for expansion. No dividends may be declared or paid on our Common Stock, unless a dividend, payable in the same consideration or manner, is simultaneously declared or paid, as the case may be, on our shares of preferred stock, if any.


RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES


Our Company has sold the following securities within the last three fiscal years on an unregistered basis:

In June and December 2013, Sensor Mobility issued 610,000 common shares (previously 105,000 Class “A” preferred shares and 200,000 Class “B” common shares) for consulting services at fair value of $0.47 per share.

In April 2014, Sensor Mobility entered into agreements for issuance of warrants against services with four of its then stockholders and issued 475,000 warrants (previously 237,500 warrants) entitling those stockholders to purchase one common share (previously preferred class A share) against each warrant at an exercise price of $0.46 per warrant to be exercised within one year from the issuance date. All of such warrants were cancelled and were reissued by iMedical in its reverse merger with Sensor Mobility.

In November 2014, iMedical issued 1,036,000 units at an exercise price of $1.10 and received gross cash proceeds of $1,142,837. Each unit was comprised of 1,036,000 common shares and 1,554,000 warrants to be exercised at $1.10 within 120 to 270 days from the date of issuance. In connection with the proceeds received, iMedical, among other things, issued 51,080 broker warrants to be exercised at $1.10 within 365 days from the date of issuance.

In November 2014, 150,000 common stock purchase warrants were exercised at a price of $0.44 per share.

In March and May 2015, 500,000 common stock purchase warrants were exercised at a price of $1.01 per share. In connection with the proceeds received, iMedical, among other things, issued 35,000 broker warrants.

In August and September 2015, 250,000 warrants were exercised at a price of $1.05 per share. In connection with the proceeds received, iMedical, among other things, issued 17,500 broker warrants.

In September 2015, iMedical sold $595,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible promissory notes to accredited investors.

None of the above issuances were offered or sold in the U.S., or were offered and sold in the U.S. pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2).

On February 2, 2016, we issued an aggregate of 13,376,947 shares of our common stock to iMedical stockholders in the Acquisition Transaction. Such shares were offered and sold in the U.S. pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) and/or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.


DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

General

Our authorized capital stock consists of 125,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share. As of February 2, 2016, there were 15,876,947 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, of which 750,000 are held in escrow and subject to forfeiture, and 9,123,031 Exchangeable Shares issued and outstanding. Of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding (or that may be issued upon exchange of the Exchangeable Shares), approximately 22,500,000 of such shares are or would be restricted shares under the Securities Act. There is currently one share of the Special Voting Preferred Stock issued and outstanding held by one holder of record, which is the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement. None of these restricted shares are eligible for resale absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. As of the date hereof, the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act is not available for these shares pursuant to Rule 144(i).



56




Common Stock

Each holder of Common Stock will be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held of record by such holder with respect to all matters to be voted on or consented to by our stockholders, except as may otherwise be required by applicable Nevada law. The stockholders will not have pre-emptive rights under our Certificate of Incorporation to acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities. The Common Stock will not be subject to redemption rights and will carry no subscription or conversion rights. In the event of liquidation of the Company, the stockholders will be entitled to share in corporate assets on a pro rata basis after the Company satisfies all liabilities and after provision is made for each class of capital stock having preference over the Common Stock (if any). Subject to the laws of the State of Nevada, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock, the Board of Directors will determine, in their discretion, to declare dividends advisable and payable to the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock. Shares of our Common Stock are subject to transfer restrictions.


Blank-Check Preferred Stock

The Company is currently authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which one share has currently been designated as the Special Voting Preferred Stock (as described below). The Board of Directors has the discretion to issue shares of preferred stock in series and, by filing a Preferred Stock Designation or similar instrument with the Nevada Secretary of State, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designation, power, preferences and rights of the shares of each such Series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof.

Special Voting Preferred Stock

The Board authorized the designation of a class of the Special Voting Preferred Stock, with the rights and preferences specified below. For purposes of deferring Canadian tax liabilities that would be incurred by certain of our shareholders, iMedical and its shareholders have entered into a transaction pursuant to which the Eligible Holders, who would have otherwise received shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to the Acquisition Transaction, received Exchangeable Shares. The right to vote the Common Stock equivalent of such Exchangeable Shares shall be conducted by the vote of the Special Voting Preferred Stock issued to the Trustee.

In that regard, the Company has designated one share of preferred stock as the Special Voting Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. The rights and preferences of the Special Voting Preferred Stock entitle the holder (the Trustee and, indirectly, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares) to the following:

·

the right to vote in all circumstances in which holders of our common stock have the right to vote, with the common stock as one class;

·

an aggregate number of votes equal to the number of shares of our common stock that are issuable to the holders of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares;

·

the same rights as the holders of our common stock as to notices, reports, financial statements and attendance at all stockholder meetings;

·

no entitlement to dividends; and

·

a total sum of $1.00 upon windup, dissolution or liquidation of the Company.



57




The Company may cancel the Special Voting Preferred Stock when there are no Exchangeable Shares outstanding and no option or other commitment of iMedical of its affiliates, which could require iMedical or its affiliates to issue more Exchangeable Shares.

As set forth above, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares, through the Special Voting Preferred Stock, have voting rights and other attributes corresponding to the Common Stock. The Exchangeable Shares provide an opportunity for Eligible Holders to obtain a full deferral of taxable capital gains for Canadian federal income tax purposes in specified circumstances. Reference is made to the full text of the Certificate of Designations, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Form 8-K.

Registration Rights

We have agreed to register the shares of common stock and shares of Common Stock underlying the Exchangeable Shares issued to the iMedical shareholders in the Acquisition Transaction by means of filing a registration statement with the SEC. We will pay all costs and expenses incurred by us in complying with our obligations to file the registration statement, except that the selling holders will be responsible for their shares of the attorney’s fees and expenses and any commissions or other compensation to selling agents and similar persons.


INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada.

Nevada Revised Statute (“ NRS ”) Section 78.7502 provides that a corporation shall indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any the defense to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to Section 78.7502(1) or 78.7502(2), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein.

NRS 78.7502(1) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.



58



NRS Section 78.7502(2) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals there from, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.


NRS Section 78.747 provides that except as otherwise provided by specific statute, no director or officer of a corporation is individually liable for a debt or liability of the corporation, unless the director or officer acts as the alter ego of the corporation. The court as a matter of law must determine the question of whether a director or officer acts as the alter ego of a corporation.

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents to the full extent permitted by NRS, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under such law.

These indemnification provisions may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our officers, directors and other corporate agents for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

We have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was one of our directors or officers, or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other business against any liability asserted against the person or incurred by the person in any of these capacities, or arising out of the person’s fulfilling one of these capacities, and related expenses, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify the person against the claim under the provisions of the NRS. We do not currently maintain director and officer liability insurance on behalf of our director and officers; however, we intend to so purchase and maintain such insurance when economically feasible.

During the years ended August 30, 2015 and 2014 and during the subsequent interim period preceding the date of PLS’s dismissal, there were (i) no disagreements with PLS on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, and (ii) no reportable events (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of iMedical Innovations Inc.



We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of iMedical Innovations Inc. [the “Company”] as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ (deficiency) equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2014. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 (unaudited)

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 (audited)

(Expressed in US dollars)


1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS


iMedical Innovations Inc. (the “Company” or “iMed”) was incorporated on July 3, 2014 under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada.  The Company is engaged in research and development activities within the remote monitoring segment of preventative care. The Company is focused on a realizable healthcare business model that has an existing market and commercialization pathway. As such, its efforts to date have been devoted in building technology that enables access to this market through the development of a tangible product.


Sensor Mobility Inc. (“Sensor”) was incorporated on July 22, 2009 under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada.  Sensor was also engaged in research and development activities within the remote monitoring segment of preventative care.


On August 11, 2014, all the stockholders of Sensor entered into a series of roll over agreements for the sale of their shares to iMedical Innovations Inc. in accordance with section 85(1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).  Pursuant to these agreements, all the stockholders of Sensor received twice the number of shares of iMed in exchange for their shares in Sensor.  Accordingly, iMed issued 11,829,500 shares in exchange for 5,914,750 shares of Sensor, which were subsequently cancelled as a result of amalgamation. The amalgamation became effective from November 21, 2014, pursuant to approval by Canada Revenue Agency.  Immediately prior to the Amalgamation, iMed had net liabilities of $237,348 and 3,300,000 outstanding shares of common stock, which are presented in the financial statements.


As the former stockholders of Sensor became the majority stockholders of iMed after amalgamation, this transaction has been accounted for as a reverse merger and was treated as an acquisition of iMed (legal acquirer) and a recapitalization of Sensor (accounting acquirer). As Sensor was the accounting acquirer, the results of its operations carried over.  Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations reflected in the financial statements for the periods prior to November 21, 2014, are those of Sensor and are recorded at historical cost basis.  Effective from November 21, 2014, the Company’s financial statements include the assets, liabilities and operations of iMed.


2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MEASUREMENT

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in United States dollars (“USD”).






F-6




3. GOING CONCERN

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations and as at September 30, 2015, December 31, 2014 and 2013 had accumulated deficit of $7,736,844, $4,042,922 and $2,336,720, respectively. Management anticipates the Company will attain profitable status and improve its liquidity through continued business development and additional debt or equity investment in the Company. Management is pursuing various sources of financing as described in Note 13.  The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to continue to execute its operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance that the necessary debt or equity financing will be available, or will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations. Should the Company be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of recorded asset amounts that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.


4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Cash


Cash includes cash on hand and balances with banks.


Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Areas involving significant estimates and assumptions include: deferred income tax assets and related valuation allowance, accruals and valuation of warrants and stock options. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.


Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260-10 which provides for calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. Diluted earnings per share exclude all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as at September 30, 2015 and 2014, and December 31, 2014 and 2013.


Foreign Currency Translation

 

The functional currency of the Company is Canadian dollar.  Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the historical rate on the date of the transaction. All exchange gains or losses arising from translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in net income (loss) for the year.  The translation gains and losses resulting from the changes in exchange rates are reported in accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss).





F-7




Equipment

 

Equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and depreciated over their estimated useful lives at the following rate and method.  


Furniture and fixtures

Computer equipment

3 year straight line

3 year straight line

 

 

 

 

Routine repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.  Improvements, that are betterments, are capitalized at cost. The Company applies a half-year rule in the year of acquisition.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 360-10, the Company, on a regular basis, reviews the carrying amount of long-lived assets for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that suggest impairment. The Company determines if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is impaired based on anticipated undiscounted cash flows, before interest, from the use of the asset. In the event of impairment, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined based on appraised value of the assets or the anticipated cash flows from the use of the asset or asset group, discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities.  ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

 

Level 1 Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

 

 

 

Level 2 Valuation based on quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.

 

 

 

 

Level 3 Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value.

 

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments or interest rates that are comparable to market rates . These financial instruments include cash and accounts payable. The Company's cash, which is carried at fair value, is classified as a Level 1 financial instrument. The Company’s bank accounts are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit, therefore, bear minimal credit risk.






F-8




Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740.  The Company provides for federal and provincial income taxes payable, as well as for those deferred because of the timing differences between reporting income and expenses for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recoverable or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period of the change. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.


Research and Development


Research and development costs, which relate primarily to product and software development, are charged to operations as incurred. Under certain research and development arrangements with third parties, the Company may be required to make payments that are contingent on the achievement of specific developmental, regulatory and/or commercial milestones. Before a product receives regulatory approval, milestone payments made to third parties are expensed when the milestone is achieved . Milestone payments made to third parties after regulatory approval is received are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the approved product.


Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with the provision of ASC 718, which requires that all share-based payments issued to acquire goods or services, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values, net of estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Compensation expense related to share-based awards is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

 

The Company accounts for stock based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services, as prescribed by ASC 718-10, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the guidelines in ASC 505-50. The Company issues compensatory shares for services including, but not limited to, executive, management, accounting, operations, corporate communication, financial and administrative consulting services.


Operating Leases


The Company leases office space and certain office equipment under operating lease agreements. The lease term begins on the date of initial possession of the leased property for purposes of recognizing lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease renewal periods are considered on a lease-by-lease basis and are generally not included in the initial lease term.


Convertible Notes Payable and Derivative Instruments

 

The Company accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with ASC 815. ASC 815 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes from their host instruments and to account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. ASC 815 provides for an exception to this rule when convertible notes, as host instruments, are deemed to be conventional, as defined by ASC 815-40.

The Company accounts for convertible notes deemed conventional and conversion options embedded in non-conventional convertible notes which qualify as equity under ASC 815, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 470-20, which provides guidance on accounting for convertible securities with beneficial conversion features. Accordingly, the Company records, as a discount to convertible notes, the intrinsic value of such conversion options based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment - Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity'', which revises what qualifies as a discontinued operation, changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. This ASU will be effective for the Company for applicable transactions occurring after January 1, 2016. The Company will prospectively apply the guidance to applicable transactions and does not expect adoption to have a material impact on the financial statements.


On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued a new financial accounting standard on revenue from contracts with customers, ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. In July 2015, the FASB voted to approve a one-year deferral of the effective date of ASU 2014-09, which will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 and may be applied on a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. This ASU will have no impact on the Company until it begins to generate revenue.


In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities”. The amendments in this update remove the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the ASC thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP.  In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had’ been in the development stage. The amendments in this update are applied retrospectively.


On August 27, 2014, the FASB issued a new financial accounting standard on going concern, ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. The standard provides guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern. The amendments apply to all companies and are effective in annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard on its financial statements.


On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”. The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts and the accounting for debt issue costs under IFRS. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The amendments apply to all companies and are effective for public business entities in annual periods ending after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard on its financial statements.

7. CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES


Pursuant to a term sheet offering of $2,000,000 finalized during the current quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Company on September 21, 2015 issued convertible promissory notes to various accredited investors amounting to $595,000. These notes have a maturity date of September 21, 2017 and carry annual interest rate of 11%. The note holders have the right until any time until the note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of the note, and accrued interest, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock. The note has a conversion price initially set at $1.78. Upon any future financings completed by the Company, the conversion price will reset to 75% of the future financing pricing. These notes do not contain prepayment penalties upon redemption.  These debentures are secured by all of the present and after acquired property of the Company.    However, the Company can force conversion of these notes, if during the term of the agreement, the Company completes a public listing and the Common Share price exceeds the conversion price for at least 20 consecutive trading days. At the closing of the Notes, the Company issued cash (7%) and warrants (7% of the number of Common Shares into which the Notes may be converted) to a brokers. The brokers receive 3% in cash and warrants for those investors in the Presidents List.  The warrants have a term of 24 months and a similar reset provision based on future financings.  


The embedded conversion features and reset feature in the notes and broker warrants have been accounted for as a derivative liability based on FASB guidance (refer Note 8).

The Company incurred $29,650 in cash as issuance costs and issued 29,650 broker warrants.  The cash issuance costs and fair value of these warrants at issuance have been adjusted against the liability and accreted over the term of these notes using an effective interest rate of 38.5%.  


8. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES


In connection with the sale of debt or equity instruments, the Company may sell options or warrants to purchase our common stock. In certain circumstances, these options or warrants may be classified as derivative liabilities, rather than as equity. Additionally, the debt or equity instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as embedded derivative features which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument liability.

 

The Company's derivative instrument liabilities are re-valued at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value of the derivative liability recorded as charges or credits to income in the period in which the changes occur. For options, warrants and bifurcated embedded derivative features that are accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, the Company estimates fair value using either quoted market prices of financial instruments with similar characteristics or other valuation techniques. The valuation techniques require assumptions related to the remaining term of the instruments and risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of our common stock price over the life of the option.

9. STOCKHOLDERS’ (DEFICIENCY) EQUITY


Authorized stock


Until August 11, 2014, the Company was authorized to issue unlimited number of Class “A” preferred shares, optionally redeemable at a price to be agreed by the stockholders, with no par value and unlimited number of Class “A” common shares and Class “B” common shares with no par value.  Class A preferred shares were classified as equity as they did not meet the requirements of mandatorily redeemable financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480.  


On August 11, 2014, the Company’s Articles of Association were amended thereby consolidating various classes of shares which were then issued into common shares and changing the Company’s authorized shares to unlimited number of common shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares.

 

Issued and outstanding stock

 

During June and December 2013, Sensor issued 610,000 common shares (previously 105,000 Class “A” preferred shares and 200,000 Class “B” common shares) for consulting services at fair value of $0.47 per share, determined based on recent private placements.  Accordingly, the Company recognized $284,931 as consulting expenses, which are included in general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2013 with a corresponding credit to common stock.


During December 2013, Sensor issued 940,000 common shares (previously 470,000 Class “A” preferred shares) through various subscription agreements at prices ranging from $0.20 to $0.47 for aggregate cash proceeds of $439,031.


During April 2014, Sensor entered into agreements for issuance of warrants against services with four of its then stockholders and issued 475,000 warrants (previously 237,500 warrants) entitling those stockholders to purchase one common share (previously preferred class A share) against each warrant at an exercise price of $0.46 per warrant to be exercised within one year from the issuance date.  The fair value of the warrants on the issuance date was $400,335, which is included as consulting charges in general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2014 with corresponding credit to additional paid-in-capital.  The fair value has been estimated using a multi-nomial lattice model with an expected life of 365 days, dividend yield of 0%, stock price of $0.46, a risk free rate of 0.06% and expected volatility of 105%, determined based on comparable companies historical volatilities.


Pursuant to roll over agreements dated August 11, 2014, as described in Note 1, all the above warrants which were issued by Sensor were cancelled and were reissued by iMedical Innovations Inc.


During June and July 2014, Sensor issued 1,170,000 common shares (previously 585,000 Class “A” preferred shares) through various subscription agreements issue at price of $0.47 for aggregate cash proceeds of $545,278.




F-13




During July 2014, Sensor issued 142,000 common shares (previously 71,000 Class “A” preferred shares) for consulting services at fair value of $0.47 per share, determined based on recent private placements.  Accordingly, the Company recognized $66,179 as consulting expenses, which are included in general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2014 with corresponding credit to common stock.


As described in Note 1, On August 11, 2014, all the stockholders of Sensor entered into a series of roll over agreements for the sale of their shares to iMedical Innovations Inc. in accordance with section 85 (1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).  Pursuant to these agreements, all the stockholders of Sensor received twice the number of shares of iMed in exchange for their shares in Sensor.  Accordingly, iMed issued 11,829,500 shares in exchange for 5,914,750 shares of Sensor, which were subsequently cancelled as a result of amalgamation.  The amalgamation became effective from November 21, 2014, pursuant to approval by Canada Revenue Agency.  Immediately prior to Amalgamation, iMed had net liabilities of $237,348 and 3,300,000 outstanding shares of common stock, which are presented in the financial statements.


During November 2014, iMed issued 1,036,000 units at an exercise price of $1.10 and received gross cash proceeds of $1,142,837 (net proceeds of $1,104,229).  Each unit comprised of 1,036,000 common shares and 1,554,000 warrants to be exercised at $1.10 within 120 to 270 days from the date of issuance.  In connection with the proceeds received, the Company paid in cash $38,609 as finder’s fees and issued 51,080 broker warrants to be exercised at $1.10 within 365 days from the date of issuance.  The fair value of these warrants amounting to $246,671 has been estimated using a multi-nomial lattice model with an expected life of 365 days, dividend yield of 0%, stock price of $1.10, a risk free rate ranging from 0.02% to 0.07% and expected volatility of 89%, determined based on comparable companies historical volatilities.  The fair value of these warrants were allocated to cash with corresponding credit to additional paid-in-capital.  During May 2015 804,000 warrants expired out of total issuance of 1,554,000, which has resulted in transfer of $124,936 from additional paid-in-capital to common stock.


In addition during November 2014, 150,000 warrants were exercised at a price of $0.44 per share and the Company received cash proceeds of $66,188, which has been credited to common stock.

  

During March and May 2015, 500,000 warrants were exercised at a price of $1.01 per share and the Company received gross cash proceeds of $500,584 (net proceeds of $470,758).  In connection with the proceeds received, the Company paid in cash $35,420 as finder’s fees and issued 35,000 broker warrants which were fair valued at $5,594 and were allocated to cash with corresponding credit to additional paid-in-capital.  The fair value has been estimated using a multi-nomial lattice model with an expected life of 365 days, dividend yield of 0%, stock price of $1.01, a risk free rate ranging from 0.04% to 1.07% and expected volatility of 94%, determined based on comparable companies historical volatilities.

   

During May 2015, iMed repurchased 1,100,000 of its outstanding common shares at cost from a related party, by virtue of significant influence.  These shares were cancelled upon their repurchase.


During August and September 2015, 250,000 warrants were exercised at a price of $1.05 per share and the Company received gross cash proceeds of $253,800 (net proceeds of $236,438).  In connection with the proceeds received, the Company paid in cash $17,362 as finder’s fees and issued 17,500 broker warrants which were fair valued at $14,627 and were allocated to cash with corresponding credit to additional paid-in-capital.  The fair value has been estimated using a multi-nomial lattice model with an expected life of 24 months, a risk free rate ranging from 0.04% to 1.07%, stock price of $2 and expected volatility in the range of 98% to 100%, determined based on comparable companies historical volatilities.




F-14




During September 2015, iMed entered into agreements for the issuance of 340,000 warrants against services entitling to purchase one common share against each warrant at an exercise price of $1 per warrant to be exercised within 183 days from the issuance date.  The fair value of the warrants on the issuance date was $366,528, which is included as consulting charges in general and administrative expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 with corresponding credit to additional paid-in-capital.   The fair value has been estimated using a multi-nomial lattice model with an expected life of 183 days, a risk free rate ranging from 0.04% to 1.07%, stock price of $2, annual attrition rate of 5% and expected volatility in the range of 98% to 100%, determined based on comparable companies historical volatilities.


Stock-based compensation


On March 30, 2015, the Company approved Directors, Officers and Employees Stock Option Plan, under which it authorized and issued 3,000,000 options.  This plan was established to enable the Company to attract and retain the services of highly qualified and experience directors, officers, employees and consultants and to give such person an interest in the success of the Company.  


The fair value of each option granted is estimated at the time of grant using multi-nomial lattice model using the following assumptions:


 

 

2015

 0.0001  

Risk free interest rate

Expected forfeiture (attritrion) rate

50% of the grants will either vest immediately or at the time of FDA (Food and Drug Administration) filing date and 50% will vest upon Liquidity Trigger.  Liquidity Trigger means the day on which the board of directors resolve in favour of i) the Company is able to raise a certain level of financing;  ii) a reverse takeover transaction that results in the Company being a reporting issuer, and iii) initial public offering that results in the Company being a reporting issuer.  


These grants will expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date.  The risk free interest rate is based on the yield of U.S. Treasury securities that correspond to the expected holding period of the options. The volatility was determined based on comparable companies’ historical volatilities. The expected forfeiture (attrition) rates were based on the position of the employee receiving the options. The dividend yield was based on an expected future dividend rate for the period at the time of grant.


The following table summarizes the stock option activities of the Company:

The fair value of options at the issuance date were determined at $2,257,953 which were to be expensed over vesting period.  During the three and nine months period ended September 30, 2015, the Company expensed $383,726 and $1,849,916 as stock compensation expense, respectively, which were included in general and administrative expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 with corresponding credit to additional paid-in-capital.


During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, 1,332,500 options were exercised by those employees whose 50% vest immediately.  Subsequent to September 30, 2015, additional 1,500,000 options were exercised by employees on meeting the liquidity trigger terms.  The unrecognized portion of $408,037 related to unvested options will be recognized over the period of remaining vesting term.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company determined that a valuation allowance relating to above deferred tax asset of the Company was necessary. This determination was based largely on the negative evidence represented by the losses incurred.  The Company decided not to recognize any deferred tax asset, as it is not more likely than not to be realized.  Therefore, a valuation allowance of $646,292, $409,997 and $211,861, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, was recorded to offset deferred tax assets.


As of September 30, 2015, December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has approximately $4,091,570,  $2,607,270 and $1,366,842, respectively, of non-capital losses available to offset future taxable income. These losses will expire between 2032 to 2034.


As of September 30, 2015, 2014 and December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company is not subject to any uncertain tax positions.

The existing shareholders of iMedical entered into a transaction whereby their existing common shares of iMedical were exchanged for either (a) a new class of shares that are exchangeable for shares of Biotricity’s common stock, or (b) shares of Biotricity’s common stock, which (assuming exchange of all such exchangeable shares) would equal in the aggregate a number of shares of Biotricity’s common stock that constitute 90% of Biotricity’s issued and outstanding shares.


As a result, Biotricity’s management have determined to treat the acquisition as a reverse merger and recapitalization for accounting purposes, with iMedical as the acquirer for accounting purposes.

The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.

SECTION 9.2

SECTION 9.3

Successful Defense .  To the extent that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described in Section 9.1 or 9.2 of these bylaws, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

in the case of a cash dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Shares, in an amount in cash for each Exchangeable Share equal to the Canadian Dollar Equivalent of the cash dividend or distribution declared on each Parent Share on the Parent Dividend Declaration Date;

(ii)

in the case of a stock dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Shares to be paid in Parent Shares, by the issue or transfer by the Company of such number of Exchangeable Shares for each Exchangeable Share as is equal to the number of Parent Shares to be paid on each Parent Share; provided, however, that the Company may, in lieu of such stock dividend, elect to effect a contemporaneous and economically equivalent (as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section ) subdivision of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares; or

(iii)

in the case of a dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Shares in property other than cash or Parent Shares, in such type and amount of property for each Exchangeable Share as is the same as or economically equivalent (as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section ) to the type and amount of property declared as a dividend or distribution on each Parent Share.

Such dividends or distributions shall be paid out of money, assets or property of the Company properly applicable to the payment of dividends or other distributions, or out of authorized but unissued shares of the Company, as applicable.  The holders of Exchangeable Shares shall not be entitled to any dividends or other distributions other than or in excess of the dividends and distributions referred to in this Section .

(c)

Record and Payment Dates .  The record date for the determination of the holders of Exchangeable Shares entitled to receive payment of, and the payment date for, any dividend or distribution declared on the Exchangeable Shares under Section  shall be the same dates as the record date and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Shares.  The record date for the determination of the holders of Exchangeable Shares entitled to receive Exchangeable Shares in connection with any subdivision of the Exchangeable Shares under Section  and the effective date of such subdivision shall be the same dates as the record and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding stock dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Shares.

(d)

Partial Payment .  If on any payment date for any dividends or distributions declared on the Exchangeable Shares under Section  the dividends or distributions are not paid in full on all of the Exchangeable Shares then outstanding, any such dividends or distributions that remain unpaid shall be paid on a subsequent date or dates determined by the Board of Directors on which the Company shall have sufficient moneys, assets or property properly applicable to the payment of such dividends or distributions.

(e)

Economic Equivalence .  The Board of Directors shall determine, in good faith and in its sole discretion (with the assistance of such financial or other advisors as the Board of Directors may determine), "economic equivalence" for the purposes of the Exchangeable Share Provisions and each such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and its shareholders.  In making each such determination, the following factors shall, without excluding other factors determined by the Board of Directors to be relevant, be considered by the Board of Directors:

(i)

in the case of any stock dividend or other distribution payable in Parent Shares, the number of such shares issued in proportion to the number of Parent Shares previously outstanding;

(ii)

in the case of the issuance or distribution of any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Parent Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Shares), the relationship between the exercise price of each such right, option or warrant, the Current Market Price of a Parent Share, the volatility of the Parent Shares and the terms of any such instrument;

(iii)

in the case of the issuance or distribution of any other form of property (including any shares or securities of the Parent of any class other than Parent Shares, any rights, options or warrants other than those referred to in Section , any evidences of indebtedness of the Parent or any assets of the Parent), the relationship between the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in the manner above contemplated) of such property to be issued or distributed with respect to each outstanding Parent Share and the Current Market Price of a Parent Share;

(iv)

in the case of any subdivision, redivision or change of the then outstanding Parent Shares into a greater number of Parent Shares or the reduction, combination, consolidation or change of the then outstanding Parent Shares into a lesser number of Parent Shares or any amalgamation, merger, arrangement, reorganization or other transaction affecting the Parent Shares, the effect thereof upon the then outstanding Exchangeable Shares; and

(v)

in all such cases, the general taxation consequences of the relevant event to holders of Exchangeable Shares to the extent that such consequences may differ from the taxation consequences to holders of Parent Shares as a result of differences between taxation laws of Canada and the United States (except for any differing consequences arising as a result of differing withholding taxes and marginal taxation rates and without regard to the individual circumstances of holders of Exchangeable Shares).

3.

Retraction at Option of Holder

(ii)

In the case of a redemption of Exchangeable Shares pursuant to this Section , upon receipt by the Company or the Transfer Agent in the manner specified in Section  of a certificate representing the number of Exchangeable Shares which the holder desires to have the Company redeem, together with a duly executed Retraction Request and such additional documents and instruments specified in Section , and provided that (A) the Retraction Request has not been revoked by the holder of such Exchangeable Shares in the manner specified in Section  and (B) neither the Parent nor Callco has exercised the Retraction Call Right, the Company shall redeem the Retracted Shares effective at the close of business on the Retraction Date.  On the Retraction Date, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to such holder, at the address of the holder recorded in the securities register of the Company for the Exchangeable Shares or at the address specified in the Retraction Request or by holding for pick-up by the holder at the registered office of the Company or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Company by notice to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares, the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Retraction Price and such delivery of such Exchangeable Share Consideration by or on behalf of the Company by the Transfer Agent shall be deemed to be payment of and shall satisfy and discharge all liability for the Retraction Price to the extent that the same is represented by such Exchangeable Share Consideration, unless any cheque comprising part of such Exchangeable Share Consideration is not paid on due presentation.  If only a part of the Exchangeable Shares represented by any certificate is redeemed, a new certificate for the balance of such Exchangeable Shares shall be issued to the holder at the expense of the Company.  On and after the close of business on the Retraction Date, the holder of the Retracted Shares shall cease to be a holder of such Retracted Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder in respect thereof, other than the right to receive the total Retraction Price in respect thereof, unless upon presentation and surrender of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, payment of the aggregate Retraction Price payable to such holder shall not be made, in which case the rights of such holder shall remain unaffected until such aggregate Retraction Price has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided.  On and after the close of business on the Retraction Date, provided that presentation and surrender of certificates and payment of such aggregate Retraction Price has been made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder of the Retracted Shares so redeemed by the Company shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be a holder of the Parent Shares delivered to such holder.

(iii)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section , the Company shall not be obligated to redeem Retracted Shares specified by a holder in a Retraction Request if and to the extent that such redemption of Retracted Shares would be contrary to solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable laws.  If the Company believes that on any Retraction Date it would not be permitted by any of such provisions to redeem the Retracted Shares tendered for redemption on such date, and neither the Parent nor Callco has exercised the Retraction Call Right with respect to such Retracted Shares, the Company shall only be obligated to redeem Retracted Shares specified by a holder in a Retraction Request to the extent of the maximum number that may be so redeemed (rounded down to a whole number of shares) as would not be contrary to such provisions and shall notify the holder and the Trustee at least two Business Days prior to the Retraction Date as to the number of Retracted Shares which will not be redeemed by the Company.  In any case in which the redemption by the Company of Retracted Shares would be contrary to solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable laws, the Company shall redeem Retracted Shares in accordance with Section  on a pro rata basis and shall issue to each holder of Retracted Shares a new certificate, at the expense of the Company, representing the Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Company pursuant to Section .  If the Company would otherwise be obligated to redeem Retracted Shares pursuant to Section  but is not obligated to do so as a result of solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable laws, the holder of any such Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Company pursuant to Section  as a result of solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable laws shall be deemed, by delivery of the Retraction Request to have instructed the Transfer Agent to require the Parent or Callco to purchase such Retracted Shares from such holder on the Retraction Date or as soon as practicable thereafter on payment by the Parent or Callco to such holder of the total Retraction Price in respect of such Retracted Shares, all as more specifically provided for in the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement.

(iv)

A holder of Retracted Shares may, by notice in writing given by the holder to the Company before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Retraction Date, withdraw its Retraction Request, in which event such Retraction Request shall be null and void and, for greater certainty, the revocable offer constituted by the Retraction Request to sell the Retracted Shares to the Parent or Callco shall be deemed to have been revoked.

(v)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section , if:

(A)

exercise of the rights of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares, or any of them, to require the Company to redeem any Exchangeable Shares pursuant to this Section  on any Retraction Date would require listing particulars or any similar document to be issued in order to obtain the approval of the OTCQB to the listing and trading (subject to official notice of issuance) of the Parent Shares that would be required to be delivered to such holders of Exchangeable Shares in connection with the exercise of such rights; and

(B)

as a result of (A) above, it would not be practicable (notwithstanding the reasonable endeavours of the Parent) to obtain such approvals in time to enable all or any of such Parent Shares to be admitted to listing and trading by the OTCQB (subject to official notice of issuance) when so delivered,

the Retraction Date shall, notwithstanding any other date specified or otherwise deemed to be specified in any relevant Retraction Request, be deemed for all purposes to be the earlier of (x) the second Business Day immediately following the date the approvals referred to in Section  are obtained and (y) the date which is 30 Business Days after the date on which the relevant Retraction Request is received by the Company, and references in these Exchangeable Share Provisions to such Retraction Date shall be construed accordingly.

(b)

Retraction Call Rights

(i)

In the event that a holder of Exchangeable Shares delivers a Retraction Request pursuant to Section , and subject to the limitations set forth in Section  (including that Callco shall only be entitled to exercise its Retraction Call Right with respect to those holders of Exchangeable Shares, if any, in respect of which the Parent has not exercised its Retraction Call Right), the Parent and Callco shall each have the overriding right (the " Retraction Call Right "), notwithstanding the proposed redemption of the Exchangeable Shares by the Company pursuant to Section , to purchase from such holder on the Retraction Date all but not less than all of the Retracted Shares held by such holder on payment by the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, of an amount per share equal to the Exchangeable Share Price applicable on the last Business Day prior to the Retraction Date (the " Retraction Call Right Purchase Price "), which price shall be satisfied in full by the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, delivering or causing to be delivered to such holder the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Retraction Call Right Purchase Price. Upon the exercise of the Retraction Call Right in respect of Retracted Shares, the holder of such shares shall be obligated to sell all of such Retracted Shares to the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, on the Retraction Date on payment by the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, of the total Retraction Call Right Purchase Price in respect of such Retracted Shares as set forth in this Section .

(ii)

Upon receipt by the Company of a Retraction Request, the Company shall immediately notify the Parent and Callco thereof and shall provide the Parent and Callco with a copy of the Retraction Request.  Callco shall only be entitled to exercise its Retraction Call Right with respect to those holders of Retracted Shares, if any, in respect of which the Parent has not exercised its Retraction Call Right.  In order to exercise its Retraction Call Right, the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, must notify the Company in writing of its determination to do so (a " Retraction Call Notice ") within five Business Days after the Company notifies the Parent and Callco of the Retraction Request.  If neither the Parent nor Callco so notifies the Company within such five Business Day period, the Company shall notify the holder as soon as possible thereafter that neither the Parent nor Callco will exercise the Retraction Call Right.  If one or both of the Parent and Callco delivers a Retraction Call Notice within such five Business Day period and duly exercises its Retraction Call Right in accordance with this Section , the obligation of the Company to redeem the Retracted Shares shall terminate and, provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder of such Retracted Shares in the manner specified in Section , the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, shall purchase from such holder and such holder shall sell to the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, on the Retraction Date the Retracted Shares for an amount per share equal to the Retraction Call Right Purchase Price.  Provided that the aggregate Retraction Call Right Purchase Price has been so deposited with the Transfer Agent as provided in Section , the closing of the purchase and sale of the Retracted Shares pursuant to the Retraction Call Right shall be deemed to have occurred as at the close of business on the Retraction Date and, for greater certainty, no redemption by the Company of such Retracted Shares shall take place on the Retraction Date.

(iii)

For the purpose of completing a purchase of Retracted Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Retraction Call Right, the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the holder of such Retracted Shares, at the address of the holder recorded in the securities register of the Company for the Exchangeable Shares or at the address specified in the holder's Retraction Request or by holding for pick-up by the holder at the registered office of the Company or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Company by notice to the holders of Exchangeable Shares, the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Retraction Call Right Purchase Price to which such holder is entitled and such delivery of Exchangeable Share Consideration on behalf of the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be payment of and shall satisfy and discharge all liability for the Retraction Call Right Purchase Price to the extent that the same is represented by such Exchangeable Share Consideration, unless such cheque comprising part of such Exchangeable Share Consideration is not paid on due presentation.

(iv)

On and after the close of business on the Retraction Date, the holder of the Retracted Shares shall cease to be a holder of such Retracted Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder in respect thereof, other than the right to receive the total Retraction Call Right Purchase Price in respect thereof, unless payment of the aggregate Retraction Call Right Purchase Price payable to such holder shall not be made upon presentation and surrender of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions in which case the rights of such holder shall remain unaffected until such aggregate Retraction Call Right Purchase Price has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided.  On and after the close of business on the Retraction Date, provided that presentation and surrender of certificates and payment of such aggregate Retraction Call Right Purchase Price has been made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder of the Retracted Shares so purchased by the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be a holder of the Parent Shares delivered to such holder.

6.

Redemption of Exchangeable Shares by the Company.

(a)

Redemption Amount .  Subject to applicable laws and the due exercise by the Parent or Callco of the Redemption Call Right, the Company shall on the Redemption Date redeem all but not less than all of the then outstanding Exchangeable Shares for an amount per share (the " Redemption Price ") equal to the Exchangeable Share Price on the last Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, which price shall be satisfied in full by the Company delivering or causing to be delivered to each holder of Exchangeable Shares the Exchangeable Share Consideration for each Exchangeable Share held by such holder.

(b)

Notice of Redemption .  In the case of a redemption of Exchangeable Shares pursuant to Section , the Company shall, at least 30 days before the Redemption Date (other than a Redemption Date established in connection with a Parent Control Transaction, an Exchangeable Share Voting Event or an Exempt Exchangeable Share Voting Event), send or cause to be sent to each holder of Exchangeable Shares a notice in writing of the redemption by the Company or the purchase by the Parent or Callco under the Redemption Call Right, as the case may be, of the Exchangeable Shares held by such holder.  In the case of a Redemption Date established in connection with a Parent Control Transaction, an Exchangeable Share Voting Event or an Exempt Exchangeable Share Voting Event, the written notice of the redemption by the Company or the purchase by the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, of the Exchangeable Shares under the Redemption Call Right will be sent on or before the Redemption Date, on as many days prior written notice as may be determined by the Board of Directors to be reasonably practicable in the circumstances.  In any such case, such notice shall set out the formula for determining the Redemption Price or the Redemption Call Purchase Price, as the case may be, the Redemption Date and, if applicable, particulars of the Redemption Call Right.  In the case of any notice given in connection with a possible Redemption Date, such notice will be given contingently and will be withdrawn if the contingency does not occur.

(c)

Payment of Redemption Price .  On or after the Redemption Date, and provided that the Redemption Call Right has not been exercised by the Parent or Callco, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares to be redeemed the Redemption Price for each such Exchangeable Share, upon presentation and surrender of the certificates representing such Exchangeable Shares, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares under the BCA(BC) and the constating documents of the Company and such additional documents, instruments and payments as the Transfer Agent and the Company may reasonably require, at the registered office of the Company or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by notice to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares.  Payment of the Redemption Price for such Exchangeable Shares shall be made by delivery to each holder, at the address of the holder recorded in the securities register of the Company for the Exchangeable Shares or by holding for pick-up by the holder at the registered office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Company by notice to the holders of Exchangeable Shares, the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Redemption Price.  On and after the Redemption Date, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares called for redemption shall cease to be holders of such Exchangeable Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of holders in respect thereof (including any rights under the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement) other than the right to receive their proportionate part of the total Redemption Price, unless payment of the total Redemption Price for such Exchangeable Shares shall not be made upon presentation and surrender of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of the holders shall remain unaffected until the Redemption Price has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided.  The Company shall have the right at any time after the sending of notice of its intention to redeem the Exchangeable Shares as aforesaid to deposit or cause to be deposited the total Redemption Price (in the form of Exchangeable Share Consideration) of the Exchangeable Shares so called for redemption, or of such of the said Exchangeable Shares represented by certificates that have not at the date of such deposit been surrendered by the holders thereof in connection with such redemption, in a custodial account with any chartered bank or trust company in Canada named in such notice and any interest earned on such deposit shall belong to the Company.  Provided that such total Redemption Price has been so deposited prior to the Redemption Date, on and after the Redemption Date, the Exchangeable Shares shall be redeemed and the rights of the holders thereof after the Redemption Date shall be limited to receiving their proportionate part of the total Redemption Price for such Exchangeable Shares so deposited, against presentation and surrender of the certificates for the Exchangeable Shares held by them, respectively, in accordance with the foregoing provisions.

8.

Each Debentureholder also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Security Agent or any other Debentureholder or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Debenture, any Security Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Accordingly, notwithstanding any of the provisions contained herein or in any collateral security, the Holder hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not be entitled to take any action hereunder or thereunder including, without limitation, any notice of acceleration of enforcement of the Security Documents hereunder or thereunder, but that any such action shall be taken only by the Security Agent with the prior written agreement of the simple majority of the Debentureholders (in proportion to their holdings); provided however that, should there exist an Event of Default described in paragraph (i) of the definition of "Event of Default" under this Debenture, but not under all of the other Debentures, the Holder shall be entitled to direct the Security Agent to exercise its rights and remedies hereunder and under the Security Documents and the Security Agent shall give notice thereof to all of the Debentureholders. The Holder hereby further represents, covenants and agrees that: (a) upon any such written agreement being given, it shall co-operate fully with the Security Agent to the extent requested by the Security Agent; and (b) it does not currently hold, and it shall not take or obtain, any encumbrance on any property or assets of the Corporation to secure the obligations or any other amounts owing under the Debenture or Security Documents, except to the extent such encumbrance is in favour of the Security Agent on behalf of all the Debentureholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of instructions from the Debentureholders and where in the sole opinion of the Security Agent, acting reasonably and in good faith, the exigencies of the situation warrant such action, the Security Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) without notice to or consent of the Debentureholders take such action on behalf of the Debentureholders as it deems appropriate or desirable in the interest of the Debentureholders. Without limiting the previous sentence, upon notice from the Holder to the Security Agent of the existence of an Event of Default, the Security Agent shall call a meeting of all Debentureholders for the purpose of determining the action to be taken by the Security Agent.

Resignation of Security Agent and Successor Security Agent

The Security Agent may resign as Security Agent upon not less than 30 days' written notice (which shall include the notice addresses of the Debentureholders to facilitate the meeting of the Debentureholders to select a successor Security Agent) to each of the Debentureholders (with a copy to the Corporation), such resignation to take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Security Agent of its appointment as the Security Agent hereunder. Upon any such resignation, the majority of the Debentureholders (in proportion to their holdings) shall have the right to appoint a successor Security Agent which meets the following eligibility requirements (the " Eligibility Requirements "): (i) has no material conflict of interest with regard to fulfillment of its obligations under the Debentures and the Security Documents; and (ii) be willing and able to accept such obligations upon reasonable and customary terms; provided that if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such appointment shall not be effective without the prior written consent of the Corporation, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If no successor Security Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment in writing within 30 days after the retiring Security Agent's giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Security Agent may, on behalf of the Debentureholders, appoint a successor Security Agent which meets the Eligibility Requirements or apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Security Agent, and the Corporation agrees to pay such reasonable fees and expenses of any such appointee as shall be necessary to induce such appointee to agree to become a successor Security Agent hereunder. Upon acceptance of appointment as Security Agent, such successor shall thereupon and forthwith succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers and privileges, immunities and duties of the retiring Security Agent, and the retiring Security Agent, upon the signing, transferring and setting over to such successor Security Agent all rights, moneys and other collateral held by it in its capacity as Security Agent, shall be discharged and released from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Security Documents.  Notwithstanding the resignation of the Security Agent for any reason, the Security Agent shall remain entitled to be reimbursed for all expenses and disbursements (to the extent such fees, expenses and disbursements were earned or incurred on or prior to such resignation or removal) and be entitled to all indemnities that such Security Agent would otherwise have been duly entitled to pursuant to the Debentures if not for such resignation or removal.

(3)

Chairman. The Debentureholders present in person or by proxy shall choose some individual present at the meeting, which individual need not be a Debentureholder, to be chairman.

(4)

Quorum.

The Corporation shall have the option, exercisable upon written notice to the subscribers, to force the conversion of the principal amount of the Debentures into Common Shares at a deemed conversion price of US$1.78 per Common Share in the event that, during the term of the Debentures, the Corporation completes a public listing and the closing price of the Common Shares on the exchange on which the Common Shares (including the common shares of any successor public entity, e.g. in the context of a reverse takeover transaction) may be listed equals or exceeds 100% of the Conversion Price per Common Share (as may be adjusted, e.g. in the context of a reverse takeover transaction) for at least 20 consecutive trading days.

Upon completion of the Corporation`s anticipated reverse merger, the adjusted conversion price would be approximately US$0.75 per resulting issuer share.

Shareholders Agreement:

To the extent that the Corporation remains private at the time of conversion of the Debentures into Common Shares, the holders will be required to sign a joinder agreement such that it becomes a party to the shareholders agreement of the Corporation (as may be amended from time to time).

Resale Restrictions:

The Corporation is not a reporting issuer (or the equivalent) in any jurisdiction and the Common Shares are not listed for trading on any exchange. Therefore, any resale of the Debentures must be made in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws, and which may require resales to be made in accordance with prospectus and dealer registration requirements or exemptions from the prospectus and dealer registration requirements. Canadian subscribers are advised to seek legal advice prior to any resale of the Debentures.

U.S. Registration Requirement:

If the Corporation completes a U.S. listing during the term of the Debentures, the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Debentures will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a registration statement to be filed within 60 days following the date of US listing, so as to permit their public resale.

Additionally, absent an available resale exemption and upon the Corporation's request, the parties will cooperate in the preparation of a non-offering prospectus to be filed with the relevant securities regulators in Canada and an application to cross-list the Corporation's shares on a Canadian exchange so as to permit the public resale of the Common Shares issuable to Canadian resident shareholders of the Corporation upon conversion of the Debentures.

(b)

The Company, each Non-Eligible Holder, the Parent, the Exchangeco and Callco agree that at the Effective Time:

U.S. Federal Income Tax Matters

The exchange of Common Shares for Exchangeable Shares (" Share Exchange ") pursuant to this Agreement is intended to qualify as a tax-deferred reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the U.S. Tax Code and this Agreement is intended to be a "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 368 of the U.S. Tax Code. Unless otherwise required by applicable Laws, each Party agrees to treat: (1) the Exchangeable Shares as voting shares of the Parent for all U.S. federal income tax purposes; and (2) such Share Exchange as a tax-deferred reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the U.S. Tax Code for all purposes to which such treatment is pertinent, including without limitation for the purpose of reporting on any U.S. Return that such Party may be required to file. Each Party hereto agrees to act in a manner that is consistent with the Parties’ intention that the Share Exchange be treated as a tax-deferred reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the U.S. Tax Code for all United States federal income tax purposes. In the event the Share Exchange does not qualify as a tax-deferred reorganization under Section 368(a) of the U.S. Tax Code, the Parties intend to treat the Share Exchange as a single integrated transaction which qualifies as a tax-deferred transaction under Section 351 of the U.S. Tax Code.

Dividends and Distributions .  A holder of an Exchangeable Share shall be entitled to receive and the Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, on each Parent Dividend Declaration Date, declare a dividend or distribution on each Exchangeable Share:

(i)

in the case of a cash dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Shares, in an amount in cash for each Exchangeable Share equal to the Canadian Dollar Equivalent of the cash dividend or distribution declared on each Parent Share on the Parent Dividend Declaration Date;

WSLegal\073132\00009\12677454v12

in the case of a dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Shares in property other than cash or Parent Shares, in such type and amount of property for each Exchangeable Share as is the same as or economically equivalent (as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 3(e)) to the type and amount of property declared as a dividend or distribution on each Parent Share.

Such dividends or distributions shall be paid out of money, assets or property of the Company properly applicable to the payment of dividends or other distributions, or out of authorized but unissued shares of the Company, as applicable.  The holders of Exchangeable Shares shall not be entitled to any dividends or other distributions other than or in excess of the dividends and distributions referred to in this Section 3(a).

(b)

Payments of Dividends and Distributions .  Cheques of the Company payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Company shall be issued in respect of any cash dividends or distributions contemplated by Section 3(a)(a)(i) and the sending of such cheque to each holder of an Exchangeable Share shall satisfy the cash dividend or distribution represented thereby unless the cheque is not paid on presentation.  Written evidence of the book entry issuance or transfer to the registered holder of Exchangeable Shares shall be delivered in respect of any stock dividends or distributions contemplated by Section 3(a)(ii) and the sending of such written evidence to each holder of an Exchangeable Share shall satisfy the stock dividend or distribution represented thereby.  Such other type and amount of property in respect of any dividends or distributions contemplated by Section 3(a)(iii) shall be issued, distributed or transferred by the Company in such manner as it shall determine and the issuance, distribution or transfer thereof by the Company to each holder of an Exchangeable Share shall satisfy the dividend or distribution represented thereby.  Subject to the requirements of applicable law with respect to unclaimed property, no holder of an Exchangeable Share shall be entitled to recover by action or other legal process against the Company any dividend or distribution that is represented by a cheque that has not been duly presented to the Company's bankers for payment or that otherwise remains unclaimed for a period of six years from the date on which such dividend was payable.

(c)

Record and Payment Dates .  The record date for the determination of the holders of Exchangeable Shares entitled to receive payment of, and the payment date for, any dividend or distribution declared on the Exchangeable Shares under Section 3(a) shall be the same dates as the record date and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Shares.  The record date for the determination of the holders of Exchangeable Shares entitled to receive Exchangeable Shares in connection with any subdivision of the Exchangeable Shares under Section 3(a)(ii) and the effective date of such subdivision shall be the same dates as the record and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding stock dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Shares.

(d)

Partial Payment .  If on any payment date for any dividends or distributions declared on the Exchangeable Shares under Section 3(a) the dividends or distributions are not paid in full on all of the Exchangeable Shares then outstanding, any such dividends or distributions that remain unpaid shall be paid on a subsequent date or dates determined by the Board of Directors on which the Company shall have sufficient moneys, assets or property properly applicable to the payment of such dividends or distributions.



WSLegal\073132\00009\12677454v12




(e)

Economic Equivalence .  The Board of Directors shall determine, in good faith and in its sole discretion (with the assistance of such financial or other advisors as the Board of Directors may determine), "economic equivalence" for the purposes of the Exchangeable Share Provisions and each such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and its shareholders.  In making each such determination, the following factors shall, without excluding other factors determined by the Board of Directors to be relevant, be considered by the Board of Directors:

(i)

in the case of any stock dividend or other distribution payable in Parent Shares, the number of such shares issued in proportion to the number of Parent Shares previously outstanding;

(ii)

in the case of the issuance or distribution of any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Parent Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Shares), the relationship between the exercise price of each such right, option or warrant, the Current Market Price of a Parent Share, the volatility of the Parent Shares and the terms of any such instrument;

(iii)

in the case of the issuance or distribution of any other form of property (including any shares or securities of the Parent of any class other than Parent Shares, any rights, options or warrants other than those referred to in Section 3(e)(ii), any evidences of indebtedness of the Parent or any assets of the Parent), the relationship between the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in the manner above contemplated) of such property to be issued or distributed with respect to each outstanding Parent Share and the Current Market Price of a Parent Share;

(iv)

in the case of any subdivision, redivision or change of the then outstanding Parent Shares into a greater number of Parent Shares or the reduction, combination, consolidation or change of the then outstanding Parent Shares into a lesser number of Parent Shares or any amalgamation, merger, arrangement, reorganization or other transaction affecting the Parent Shares, the effect thereof upon the then outstanding Exchangeable Shares; and

(v)

in all such cases, the general taxation consequences of the relevant event to holders of Exchangeable Shares to the extent that such consequences may differ from the taxation consequences to holders of Parent Shares as a result of differences between taxation laws of Canada and the United States (except for any differing consequences arising as a result of differing withholding taxes and marginal taxation rates and without regard to the individual circumstances of holders of Exchangeable Shares).

distributions, other than stock dividends payable in Common Shares or any such other shares ranking junior to the Exchangeable Shares, as the case may be;

(f)

provided, however, that the restrictions in Sections 4(a), (b), (c) and (d) shall not apply if all dividends or distributions on the outstanding Exchangeable Shares corresponding to dividends or distributions declared and paid to date on the Parent Shares shall have been declared and paid in full on the Exchangeable Shares and provided that the proposed redemption, purchase or other capital distribution does not impair the Company's ability to redeem all of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares.

5.

Liquidation.

(a)

Liquidation Amount .  Subject to applicable laws and the due exercise by the Parent or Callco of the Liquidation Call Right, in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company or any other distribution of the assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, subject to the exercise of the Liquidation Call Right, a holder of Exchangeable Shares shall be entitled, subject to applicable law, to receive from the assets of the Company in respect of each Exchangeable Share held by such holder on the effective date of such liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or other distribution (the " Liquidation Date "), before any distribution of any part of the assets of the Company among the holders of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Exchangeable Shares with respect to dividends or distributions an amount per share (the " Liquidation Amount ") equal to the Exchangeable Share Price applicable on the last Business Day prior to the Liquidation Date, which price shall be satisfied in full by the Company delivering or causing to be delivered to such holder the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Liquidation Amount.

(b)

Payment of Liquidation Amount .  In the case of a distribution pursuant to Section 5(a), and provided that the Liquidation Call Right has not been exercised by the Parent or Callco, on or promptly after the Liquidation Date, the Company shall deliver or cause to



WSLegal\073132\00009\12677454v12




be delivered to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares the Liquidation Amount for each such Exchangeable Share upon presentation and surrender of the certificates representing such Exchangeable Shares, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares under the BCA(BC) and the constating documents of the Company and such additional documents, instruments and payments as the Transfer Agent and the Company may reasonably require, at the registered office of the Company or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Company by notice to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares.  Payment of the Liquidation Amount for such Exchangeable Shares shall be made by delivery to each holder, at the address of such holder recorded in the securities register of the Company for the Exchangeable Shares or by holding for pick-up by such holder at the registered office of the Company or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Company by notice to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares, the Exchangeable Share Consideration such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 5.  On and after the Liquidation Date, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall cease to be holders of such Exchangeable Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of holders in respect thereof (including any rights under the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement) other than the right to receive their proportionate part of the total Liquidation Amount, unless payment of the total Liquidation Amount for such Exchangeable Shares shall not be made upon presentation and surrender of share certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of the holders shall remain unaffected until the Liquidation Amount has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided.  The Company shall have the right at any time after the Liquidation Date to transfer or cause to be issued or transferred to, and deposited in a custodial account with, any chartered bank or trust company the Liquidation Amount in respect of the Exchangeable Shares represented by certificates that have not at the Liquidation Date been surrendered by the holders thereof, such Liquidation Amount to be held by such bank or trust company as trustee for and on behalf of, and for the use and benefit of, such holders.  Upon such deposit being made, the rights of a holder of Exchangeable Shares after such deposit shall be limited to receiving its proportionate part of the total Liquidation Amount for such Exchangeable Shares so deposited, without interest, and all dividends and other distributions with respect to the Parent Shares to which such holder is entitled with a record date after the date of such deposit and before the date of transfer of such Parent Shares to such holder (in each case less any amounts withheld on account of tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom) against presentation and surrender of the certificates for the Exchangeable Shares held by them in accordance with the foregoing provisions.

(c)

No Right to Participate in Further Distributions .  After the Company has satisfied its obligations to pay the holders of the Exchangeable Shares the total Liquidation Amount per Exchangeable Share pursuant to this Section 5, such holders shall not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the assets of the Company.

(a)

Retraction at Option of Holder

(i)

Subject to applicable laws and the due exercise by the Parent or Callco of the Retraction Call Right, a holder of Exchangeable Shares shall be entitled at any time to require the Company to redeem, on the fifth Business Day after the date on which the Retraction Request is received by the Company (the " Retraction



WSLegal\073132\00009\12677454v12




Date "), any or all of the Exchangeable Shares registered in the name of such holder for an amount per share equal to the Exchangeable Share Price applicable on the last Business Day prior to the Retraction Date (the " Retraction Price "), which price shall be satisfied in full by the Company delivering or causing to be delivered to such holder the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Retraction Price.  A holder of Exchangeable Shares must give notice of a request to redeem by presenting and surrendering to the Company, at the registered office of the Company or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Company by notice to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares, the certificate or certificates representing the Exchangeable Shares that such holder desires to have the Company redeem, together with (A) such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares under the BCA(BC) and the constating documents of the Company and such additional documents, instruments and payments as the Transfer Agent and the Company may reasonably require and (B) a duly executed request (the '' Retraction Request '') in the form of Appendix I hereto or in such other form as may be acceptable to the Company specifying that such holder desires to have all or any number specified therein of the Exchangeable Shares represented by such certificate or certificates (the " Retracted Shares ") redeemed by the Company.

(ii)

In the case of a redemption of Exchangeable Shares pursuant to this Section 6, upon receipt by the Company or the Transfer Agent in the manner specified in Section 6(a)(i) of a certificate representing the number of Exchangeable Shares which the holder desires to have the Company redeem, together with a duly executed Retraction Request and such additional documents and instruments specified in Section 6(a)(i), and provided that (A) the Retraction Request has not been revoked by the holder of such Exchangeable Shares in the manner specified in Section 6(a)(iv) and (B) neither the Parent nor Callco has exercised the Retraction Call Right, the Company shall redeem the Retracted Shares effective at the close of business on the Retraction Date.  On the Retraction Date, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to such holder, at the address of the holder recorded in the securities register of the Company for the Exchangeable Shares or at the address specified in the Retraction Request or by holding for pick-up by the holder at the registered office of the Company or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Company by notice to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares, the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Retraction Price and such delivery of such Exchangeable Share Consideration by or on behalf of the Company by the Transfer Agent shall be deemed to be payment of and shall satisfy and discharge all liability for the Retraction Price to the extent that the same is represented by such Exchangeable Share Consideration, unless any cheque comprising part of such Exchangeable Share Consideration is not paid on due presentation.  If only a part of the Exchangeable Shares represented by any certificate is redeemed, a new certificate for the balance of such Exchangeable Shares shall be issued to the holder at the expense of the Company.  On and after the close of business on the Retraction Date, the holder of the Retracted Shares shall cease to be a holder of such Retracted Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder in respect thereof, other than the right to receive the total Retraction Price in respect thereof, unless upon presentation and surrender of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, payment of the aggregate Retraction Price payable to such holder shall not be made, in which case the rights of such



WSLegal\073132\00009\12677454v12




holder shall remain unaffected until such aggregate Retraction Price has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided.  On and after the close of business on the Retraction Date, provided that presentation and surrender of certificates and payment of such aggregate Retraction Price has been made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder of the Retracted Shares so redeemed by the Company shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be a holder of the Parent Shares delivered to such holder.

(iii)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6, the Company shall not be obligated to redeem Retracted Shares specified by a holder in a Retraction Request if and to the extent that such redemption of Retracted Shares would be contrary to solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable laws.  If the Company believes that on any Retraction Date it would not be permitted by any of such provisions to redeem the Retracted Shares tendered for redemption on such date, and neither the Parent nor Callco has exercised the Retraction Call Right with respect to such Retracted Shares, the Company shall only be obligated to redeem Retracted Shares specified by a holder in a Retraction Request to the extent of the maximum number that may be so redeemed (rounded down to a whole number of shares) as would not be contrary to such provisions and shall notify the holder and the Trustee at least two Business Days prior to the Retraction Date as to the number of Retracted Shares which will not be redeemed by the Company.  In any case in which the redemption by the Company of Retracted Shares would be contrary to solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable laws, the Company shall redeem Retracted Shares in accordance with Section 6(a)(ii) on a pro rata basis and shall issue to each holder of Retracted Shares a new certificate, at the expense of the Company, representing the Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Company pursuant to Section 6(a)(ii).  If the Company would otherwise be obligated to redeem Retracted Shares pursuant to Section 6(a)(ii) but is not obligated to do so as a result of solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable laws, the holder of any such Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Company pursuant to Section 6(a)(ii) as a result of solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable laws shall be deemed, by delivery of the Retraction Request to have instructed the Transfer Agent to require the Parent or Callco to purchase such Retracted Shares from such holder on the Retraction Date or as soon as practicable thereafter on payment by the Parent or Callco to such holder of the total Retraction Price in respect of such Retracted Shares, all as more specifically provided for in the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement.

(iv)

A holder of Retracted Shares may, by notice in writing given by the holder to the Company before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Retraction Date, withdraw its Retraction Request, in which event such Retraction Request shall be null and void and, for greater certainty, the revocable offer constituted by the Retraction Request to sell the Retracted Shares to the Parent or Callco shall be deemed to have been revoked.

(v)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6, if:

(A)

exercise of the rights of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares, or any of them, to require the Company to redeem any Exchangeable Shares pursuant to this Section 6(a) on any Retraction Date would require listing



WSLegal\073132\00009\12677454v12




particulars or any similar document to be issued in order to obtain the approval of the OTCQB to the listing and trading (subject to official notice of issuance) of the Parent Shares that would be required to be delivered to such holders of Exchangeable Shares in connection with the exercise of such rights; and

(B)

as a result of (A) above, it would not be practicable (notwithstanding the reasonable endeavours of the Parent) to obtain such approvals in time to enable all or any of such Parent Shares to be admitted to listing and trading by the OTCQB (subject to official notice of issuance) when so delivered,

the Retraction Date shall, notwithstanding any other date specified or otherwise deemed to be specified in any relevant Retraction Request, be deemed for all purposes to be the earlier of (x) the second Business Day immediately following the date the approvals referred to in Section 6(a)(v)(A) are obtained and (y) the date which is 30 Business Days after the date on which the relevant Retraction Request is received by the Company, and references in these Exchangeable Share Provisions to such Retraction Date shall be construed accordingly.

(b)

Retraction Call Rights

(i)

In the event that a holder of Exchangeable Shares delivers a Retraction Request pursuant to Section 6(a), and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(b)(ii) (including that Callco shall only be entitled to exercise its Retraction Call Right with respect to those holders of Exchangeable Shares, if any, in respect of which the Parent has not exercised its Retraction Call Right), the Parent and Callco shall each have the overriding right (the " Retraction Call Right "), notwithstanding the proposed redemption of the Exchangeable Shares by the Company pursuant to Section 6(a), to purchase from such holder on the Retraction Date all but not less than all of the Retracted Shares held by such holder on payment by the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, of an amount per share equal to the Exchangeable Share Price applicable on the last Business Day prior to the Retraction Date (the " Retraction Call Right Purchase Price "), which price shall be satisfied in full by the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, delivering or causing to be delivered to such holder the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Retraction Call Right Purchase Price. Upon the exercise of the Retraction Call Right in respect of Retracted Shares, the holder of such shares shall be obligated to sell all of such Retracted Shares to the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, on the Retraction Date on payment by the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, of the total Retraction Call Right Purchase Price in respect of such Retracted Shares as set forth in this Section 6(b)(i).

(ii)

Upon receipt by the Company of a Retraction Request, the Company shall immediately notify the Parent and Callco thereof and shall provide the Parent and Callco with a copy of the Retraction Request.  Callco shall only be entitled to exercise its Retraction Call Right with respect to those holders of Retracted Shares, if any, in respect of which the Parent has not exercised its Retraction Call Right.  In order to exercise its Retraction Call Right, the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, must notify the Company in writing of its determination to do so (a " Retraction Call Notice ") within five Business Days after the Company notifies



WSLegal\073132\00009\12677454v12




the Parent and Callco of the Retraction Request.  If neither the Parent nor Callco so notifies the Company within such five Business Day period, the Company shall notify the holder as soon as possible thereafter that neither the Parent nor Callco will exercise the Retraction Call Right.  If one or both of the Parent and Callco delivers a Retraction Call Notice within such five Business Day period and duly exercises its Retraction Call Right in accordance with this Section 6(b)(ii), the obligation of the Company to redeem the Retracted Shares shall terminate and, provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder of such Retracted Shares in the manner specified in Section 6(a)(a)(iv), the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, shall purchase from such holder and such holder shall sell to the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, on the Retraction Date the Retracted Shares for an amount per share equal to the Retraction Call Right Purchase Price.  Provided that the aggregate Retraction Call Right Purchase Price has been so deposited with the Transfer Agent as provided in Section 6(b)(iii), the closing of the purchase and sale of the Retracted Shares pursuant to the Retraction Call Right shall be deemed to have occurred as at the close of business on the Retraction Date and, for greater certainty, no redemption by the Company of such Retracted Shares shall take place on the Retraction Date.

(iii)

For the purpose of completing a purchase of Retracted Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Retraction Call Right, the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the holder of such Retracted Shares, at the address of the holder recorded in the securities register of the Company for the Exchangeable Shares or at the address specified in the holder's Retraction Request or by holding for pick-up by the holder at the registered office of the Company or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Company by notice to the holders of Exchangeable Shares, the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Retraction Call Right Purchase Price to which such holder is entitled and such delivery of Exchangeable Share Consideration on behalf of the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be payment of and shall satisfy and discharge all liability for the Retraction Call Right Purchase Price to the extent that the same is represented by such Exchangeable Share Consideration, unless such cheque comprising part of such Exchangeable Share Consideration is not paid on due presentation.

(iv)

On and after the close of business on the Retraction Date, the holder of the Retracted Shares shall cease to be a holder of such Retracted Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder in respect thereof, other than the right to receive the total Retraction Call Right Purchase Price in respect thereof, unless payment of the aggregate Retraction Call Right Purchase Price payable to such holder shall not be made upon presentation and surrender of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions in which case the rights of such holder shall remain unaffected until such aggregate Retraction Call Right Purchase Price has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided.  On and after the close of business on the Retraction Date, provided that presentation and surrender of certificates and payment of such aggregate Retraction Call Right Purchase Price has been made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder of the Retracted Shares so purchased by the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be a holder of the Parent Shares delivered to such holder.

(a)

Redemption Amount .  Subject to applicable laws and the due exercise by the Parent or Callco of the Redemption Call Right, the Company shall on the Redemption Date redeem all but not less than all of the then outstanding Exchangeable Shares for an amount per share (the " Redemption Price ") equal to the Exchangeable Share Price on the last Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, which price shall be satisfied in full by the Company delivering or causing to be delivered to each holder of Exchangeable Shares the Exchangeable Share Consideration for each Exchangeable Share held by such holder.

(b)

Notice of Redemption .  In the case of a redemption of Exchangeable Shares pursuant to Section 7(a), the Company shall, at least 30 days before the Redemption Date (other than a Redemption Date established in connection with a Parent Control Transaction, an Exchangeable Share Voting Event or an Exempt Exchangeable Share Voting Event), send or cause to be sent to each holder of Exchangeable Shares a notice in writing of the redemption by the Company or the purchase by the Parent or Callco under the Redemption Call Right, as the case may be, of the Exchangeable Shares held by such holder.  In the case of a Redemption Date established in connection with a Parent Control Transaction, an Exchangeable Share Voting Event or an Exempt Exchangeable Share Voting Event, the written notice of the redemption by the Company or the purchase by the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, of the Exchangeable Shares under the Redemption Call Right will be sent on or before the Redemption Date, on as many days prior written notice as may be determined by the Board of Directors to be reasonably practicable in the circumstances.  In any such case, such notice shall set out the formula for determining the Redemption Price or the Redemption Call Purchase Price, as the case may be, the Redemption Date and, if applicable, particulars of the Redemption Call Right.  In the case of any notice given in connection with a possible Redemption Date, such notice will be given contingently and will be withdrawn if the contingency does not occur.

(c)

Payment of Redemption Price .  On or after the Redemption Date, and provided that the Redemption Call Right has not been exercised by the Parent or Callco, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares to be redeemed the Redemption Price for each such Exchangeable Share, upon presentation and surrender of the certificates representing such Exchangeable Shares, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares under the BCA(BC) and the constating documents of the Company and such additional documents, instruments and payments as the Transfer Agent and the Company may reasonably require, at the registered office of the Company or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by notice to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares.  Payment of the Redemption Price for such Exchangeable Shares shall be made by delivery to each holder, at the address of the holder recorded in the securities register of the Company for the Exchangeable Shares or by holding for pick-up by the holder at the registered office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Company by notice to the holders of Exchangeable Shares, the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Redemption Price.  On and after the Redemption Date, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares called for redemption shall cease to be holders of such Exchangeable Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of holders in respect thereof (including any rights under the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement) other than the right to receive their proportionate part of the total Redemption Price, unless payment of the total Redemption Price for such Exchangeable



WSLegal\073132\00009\12677454v12




Shares shall not be made upon presentation and surrender of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of the holders shall remain unaffected until the Redemption Price has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided.  The Company shall have the right at any time after the sending of notice of its intention to redeem the Exchangeable Shares as aforesaid to deposit or cause to be deposited the total Redemption Price (in the form of Exchangeable Share Consideration) of the Exchangeable Shares so called for redemption, or of such of the said Exchangeable Shares represented by certificates that have not at the date of such deposit been surrendered by the holders thereof in connection with such redemption, in a custodial account with any chartered bank or trust company in Canada named in such notice and any interest earned on such deposit shall belong to the Company.  Provided that such total Redemption Price has been so deposited prior to the Redemption Date, on and after the Redemption Date, the Exchangeable Shares shall be redeemed and the rights of the holders thereof after the Redemption Date shall be limited to receiving their proportionate part of the total Redemption Price for such Exchangeable Shares so deposited, against presentation and surrender of the certificates for the Exchangeable Shares held by them, respectively, in accordance with the foregoing provisions.

9.

The parties desire to make appropriate provision and to establish a procedure whereby the Parent will take certain actions and make certain payments and deliveries necessary to ensure that Callco and Exchangeco will be able to make certain payments and to deliver or cause to be delivered Parent Shares in satisfaction of the obligations of Callco and/or Exchangeco under the Exchangeable Share Provisions (as hereinafter defined) and this Agreement.

D.

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco are required to enter into a support agreement substantially in the form of this Agreement.

COVENANTS OF THE PARENT AND EXCHANGECO

2.1

Covenants Regarding Exchangeable Shares

So long as any Exchangeable Shares not owned by the Parent or its affiliates are outstanding, the Parent shall:

(a)

not declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution on the Parent Shares unless:

(i)

Exchangeco shall (A) simultaneously declare or pay, as the case may be, an equivalent dividend or other distribution economically equivalent thereto (as determined in accordance with the Exchangeable Share Provisions) on the Exchangeable Shares (an " Equivalent Dividend ") and (B) have sufficient money or other assets or authorized but unissued securities available to enable the due declaration and the due and punctual payment, in accordance with applicable law and the Exchangeable Share Provisions, of any such Equivalent Dividend; or

(ii)

if the dividend is a stock dividend or distribution of stock, in lieu of such a dividend, on the Parent Shares, Exchangeco shall (A) effect a corresponding, contemporaneous and economically equivalent subdivision of the Exchangeable Shares (as determined in accordance with the Exchangeable Share Provisions) (an " Equivalent Stock Subdivision ") and (B) have sufficient authorized but unissued securities available to enable the Equivalent Stock Subdivision;

(b)

advise Exchangeco sufficiently in advance of the declaration by the Parent of any dividend or other distribution on the Parent Shares and take all such other actions as are reasonably necessary or desirable, in co-operation with Exchangeco, to ensure that:

(i)

the respective declaration date, record date and payment date for an Equivalent Dividend shall be the same as the declaration date, record date and payment date for the corresponding dividend or other distribution on the Parent Shares; or

(ii)

the record date and effective date for an Equivalent Stock Subdivision shall be the same as the record date and payment date for the corresponding stock dividend or distribution of stock, in lieu of such a dividend, on the Parent Shares



WSLegal\073132\00009\12677454v12




and that such Equivalent Stock Subdivision shall comply with the requirements, if any, of the stock exchange or quotation system on which the Exchangeable Shares are then listed or quoted;

(c)

ensure that the record date for determining shareholders entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution declared on the Parent Shares is not less than ten Business Days after the declaration date of such dividend or other distribution or such shorter period as may be permitted under applicable law and, if applicable, the requirements of any stock exchange or quotation system on which the Exchangeable Shares are then listed or quoted;

(d)

take all such actions and do all such things as are reasonably necessary or desirable to enable and permit Exchangeco, in accordance with applicable law, to pay and otherwise perform its obligations with respect to the satisfaction of the Liquidation Amount, the Retraction Price or the Redemption Price upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Exchangeco or any other distribution of the assets of Exchangeco among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the delivery of a Retraction Request by a holder of Exchangeable Shares or a redemption of Exchangeable Shares by Exchangeco, as the case may be, including all such actions and all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit Exchangeco to deliver or cause to be delivered Parent Shares or other property to the holders of Exchangeable Shares in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5, 6 or 7, as the case may be, of the Exchangeable Share Provisions;

(e)

take all such actions and do all such things as are reasonably necessary or desirable to enable and permit the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, in accordance with applicable law, to perform its obligations arising upon the exercise by it of the Liquidation Call Right, the Retraction Call Right, the Change of Law Call Right or the Redemption Call Right (as defined in the Exchange Agreement), including all such actions and all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, to deliver or cause to be delivered Parent Shares or other property to the holders of Exchangeable Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Liquidation Call Right, the Retraction Call Right, the Change of Law Call Right or the Redemption Call Right, as the case may be; and

(f)

except in connection with any event, circumstance or action which causes or could cause the occurrence of a Redemption Date, not exercise its vote as a shareholder of Exchangeco to initiate the voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Exchangeco or any other distribution of the assets of Exchangeco among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, nor take any action or omit to take any action that is designed to result in the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Exchangeco or any other distribution of the assets of Exchangeco among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs.

2.2

Segregation of Funds

The Parent shall cause Exchangeco to deposit a sufficient amount of funds in a separate account of Exchangeco and segregate a sufficient amount of such other assets and property as is necessary to enable Exchangeco to pay dividends when due and to pay or otherwise satisfy its respective obligations with respect to the applicable dividend, Liquidation Amount, Retraction Price or Redemption Price, in each case once such amounts become payable under the terms of this Agreement or the Exchangeable



WSLegal\073132\00009\12677454v12




Share Provisions. Exchangeco will use such funds, assets and property so segregated exclusively for the payment of dividends and the payment or other satisfaction of the Liquidation Amount, the Retraction Price or the Redemption Price.

2.3

Reservation of Parent Shares

The Parent hereby represents, warrants and covenants in favour of Exchangeco and Callco that the Parent has reserved for issuance and shall, at all times while any Exchangeable Shares are outstanding, keep available, free from pre-emptive and other rights, out of its authorized and unissued capital stock, such number of Parent Shares (or other shares or securities into which Parent Shares may be reclassified or changed as contemplated by Section 2.7):

(a)

as is equal to the sum of (i) the number of Exchangeable Shares issued and outstanding from time to time and (ii) the number of Exchangeable Shares issuable upon the exercise of all rights to acquire Exchangeable Shares outstanding from time to time; and

(b)

as are now and may hereafter be required to enable and permit each of the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco to meet its obligations under the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement, the Exchangeable Share Provisions and any other security or commitment relating to the Acquisition pursuant to which the Parent, Callco or Exchangeco may now or hereafter be required to issue or deliver Parent Shares.

2.4

Notification of Certain Events

In order to assist the Parent to comply with its obligations hereunder and to permit the Parent or Callco to exercise, as the case may be, the Liquidation Call Right, the Retraction Call Right, the Change of Law Call Right or the Redemption Call Right, as applicable, Exchangeco shall notify the Parent and Callco of each of the following events at the time set forth below:

(a)

in the event of any determination by the board of directors of Exchangeco to institute voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up proceedings with respect to Exchangeco or to effect any other distribution of the assets of Exchangeco among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, at least 30 days prior to the proposed effective date of such liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or other distribution;

(b)

promptly upon the earlier of (i) receipt by Exchangeco of notice of and (ii) Exchangeco otherwise becoming aware of any threatened or instituted claim, suit, petition or other proceedings with respect to the involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Exchangeco or to effect any other distribution of the assets of Exchangeco among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs;

(c)

promptly, upon receipt by Exchangeco of a Retraction Request;

(d)

on the same date on which notice of redemption is given to holders of Exchangeable Shares, upon the determination of a Redemption Date in accordance with the Exchangeable Share Provisions;

(e)

as soon as practicable upon the issuance by Exchangeco of any Exchangeable Shares or rights to acquire Exchangeable Shares (other than the issuance of Exchangeable Shares and rights to acquire Exchangeable Shares pursuant to the Acquisition); and



WSLegal\073132\00009\12677454v12




(f)

promptly, upon receiving notice of a Change of Law (as such term is defined in the Exchange Agreement).

2.5

Delivery of Parent Shares

Upon notice from Callco or Exchangeco of any event that requires Callco or Exchangeco to deliver or cause to be delivered Parent Shares to any holder of Exchangeable Shares, the Parent shall forthwith issue and deliver or cause to be delivered the requisite number of shares of Parent Shares to Callco or Exchangeco, as appropriate, and Callco or Exchangeco, as the case may be, shall forthwith deliver or cause to be delivered the requisite number of Parent Shares to or for the benefit of the former holder of the surrendered Exchangeable Shares. All such Parent Shares shall be duly authorized and validly issued as fully paid, non-assessable, free of pre-emptive rights and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance.  In consideration for the issuance and delivery of each such Parent Share, Callco or Exchangeco, as the case may be, shall subscribe a cash amount or pay a purchase price equal to the fair market value of the Parent Shares, and the Parent shall contribute or cause to be contributed to the capital of Callco or Exchangeco, as the case may be, the cash necessary for Callco or Exchangeco, as the case may be, to effect such subscription or payment.

2.6

Qualification of Parent Shares

(a)

The Parent covenants that it will use its reasonable best efforts to make such filings and seek such regulatory consents and approvals, if any, as are necessary so that the Parent Shares to be issued to holders of Exchangeable Shares pursuant to the terms of the Exchangeable Share Provisions, the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement and this Agreement will be issued in compliance with the applicable securities laws in Canada and the United States (other than by reason of a holder being a ‘‘control person’’ of the Parent for purposes of Canadian federal, provincial or territorial securities laws or by holders who are Affiliates of the Parent within the meaning of U.S. securities laws). The Parent will in good faith expeditiously take all such reasonable actions and do all such things as are reasonably necessary or desirable to cause all Parent Shares to be delivered hereunder to be listed, quoted and posted for trading on all stock exchanges and/or quotation systems on which outstanding Parent Shares have been listed or quoted by the Parent and remain listed and are quoted or posted for trading at such time.

(b)

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Exchangeable Share Provisions, or any term of this Agreement, the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement or the Exchange Agreement, no Parent Shares shall be issued (and the Parent will not be required to issue any Parent Shares) in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Exchangeco, or any retraction, redemption or any other exchange, direct or indirect, of Exchangeable Shares, if such issuance of Parent Shares would not be permitted by applicable laws.

2.7

Economic Equivalence

So long as any Exchangeable Shares not owned by the Parent or its subsidiaries are outstanding:

(a)

The Parent shall not without prior approval of Exchangeco and the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with Section 11(b) of the Exchangeable Share Provisions:



WSLegal\073132\00009\12677454v12




(i)

issue or distribute Parent Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Shares) to the holders of all or substantially all of the then outstanding Parent Shares by way of stock dividend or other distribution, other than an issue of Parent Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Shares) to holders of Parent Shares (A) who exercise an option to receive dividends in Parent Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Shares) in lieu of receiving cash dividends or (B) pursuant to any dividend reinvestment plan or similar arrangement; or

(ii)

issue or distribute rights, options or warrants to the holders of all or substantially all of the then outstanding Parent Shares entitling them to subscribe for or to purchase Parent Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Shares); or

(iii)

issue or distribute to the holders of all or substantially all of the then outstanding Parent Shares (A) shares or securities of the Parent of any class other than Parent Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying rights to acquire Parent Shares), (B) rights, options, warrants or other assets other than those referred to in Section 2.7(a)(i), (C) evidence of indebtedness of the Parent or (D) assets of the Parent,

unless, in each case, (x) Exchangeco is permitted under applicable law to issue or distribute the economic equivalent on a per share basis of such rights, options, warrants, securities, shares, evidences of indebtedness or other assets to holders of the Exchangeable Shares and (y) Exchangeco shall issue or distribute the economic equivalent of such rights, options, warrants, securities, shares, evidences of indebtedness or other assets simultaneously to holders of the Exchangeable Shares, provided that, for greater certainty, the above restrictions shall not apply to any securities issued or distributed by the Parent in order to give effect to and to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and in accordance with, the Exchange Agreement.

(b)

The Parent shall not without the prior approval of Exchangeco and the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with Section 11(b) of the Exchangeable Share Provisions:

(i)

subdivide, redivide or change the then outstanding Parent Shares into a greater number of Parent Shares; or

(ii)

reduce, combine, consolidate or change the then outstanding Parent Shares into a lesser number of Parent Shares; or

(iii)

reclassify or otherwise change Parent Shares or effect an amalgamation, merger, arrangement, reorganization or other transaction affecting Parent Shares;

unless, in each case, (x) Exchangeco is permitted under applicable law to make the same or an economically equivalent change to, or in the rights of holders of, the Exchangeable Shares, and (y) the same or an economically equivalent change is made simultaneously to, or in the rights of the holders of, the Exchangeable Shares, provided that, for greater certainty, the above restrictions shall not apply to any securities issued



WSLegal\073132\00009\12677454v12




or distributed by the Parent in order to give effect to and to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and in accordance with, the Exchange Agreement.

(c)

The Parent shall ensure that the record date for any event referred to in Section 2.7(a) or Section 2.7(b) or, if no record date is applicable for such event, the effective date for any such event is not less than ten Business Days after the date on which such event is declared or announced by the Parent (with contemporaneous notification thereof by the Parent to Exchangeco).

(d)

The board of directors of Exchangeco shall determine, in good faith and in its sole discretion (with the assistance of such financial or other advisors as the board of may determine), "economic equivalence" for the purposes of any event referred to in Section 2.7(a) or Section 2.7(b) and each such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Parent.  In making each such determination, the following factors shall, without excluding other factors determined by the board of directors of Exchangeco to be relevant, be considered by the board of directors of Exchangeco:

(i)

in the case of any stock dividend or other distribution payable in Parent Shares, the number of such shares issued in proportion to the number of Parent Shares previously outstanding;

(ii)

in the case of the issuance or distribution of any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Parent Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Shares), the relationship between the exercise price of each such right, option or warrant, the Current Market Price of a Parent Share, the volatility of Parent Shares and the terms of any such instrument;

(iii)

in the case of the issuance or distribution of any other form of property (including any shares or securities of the Parent of any class other than Parent Shares, any rights, options or warrants other than those referred to in Section 2.7(d)(ii), any evidences of indebtedness of the Parent or any assets of the Parent), the relationship between the fair market value (as determined by the board of directors of Exchangeco in the manner above contemplated) of such property to be issued or distributed with respect to each outstanding Parent Share and the Current Market Price of a Parent Share;

(iv)

in the case of any subdivision, redivision or change of the then outstanding Parent Shares into a greater number of Parent Shares or the reduction, combination, consolidation or change of the then outstanding Parent Shares into a lesser number of Parent Shares or any amalgamation, merger, arrangement, reorganization or other transaction affecting Parent Shares, the effect thereof upon the then outstanding Parent Shares; and

(v)

in all such cases, the general taxation consequences of the relevant event to holders of Exchangeable Shares to the extent that such consequences may differ from the taxation consequences to holders of Parent Shares as a result of differences between taxation laws of Canada and the United States (except for any differing consequences arising as a result of differing withholding taxes and marginal taxation rates and without regard to the individual circumstances of holders of Exchangeable Shares).



WSLegal\073132\00009\12677454v12




(e)

Exchangeco agrees that, to the extent required, upon due notice from the Parent, Exchangeco shall use its best efforts to take or cause to be taken such steps as may be necessary for the purposes of ensuring that appropriate dividends are paid or other distributions are made by Exchangeco, or subdivisions, redivisions or changes are made to the Exchangeable Shares, in order to implement the required economic equivalence with respect to the Parent Shares and Exchangeable Shares as provided for in this Section 2.7.

2.8

Tender Offers

In the event that a tender offer, share exchange offer, issuer bid, take-over bid or similar transaction with respect to Parent Shares (an " Offer ") is proposed by the Parent or is proposed to the Parent or its shareholders and is recommended by the board of directors of the Parent, or is otherwise effected or to be effected with the consent or approval of the board of directors of the Parent, and the Exchangeable Shares are not redeemed by Exchangeco or purchased by the Parent or Callco pursuant to the Redemption Call Right, the Parent and Exchangeco will use reasonable best efforts to take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit holders of Exchangeable Shares (other than the Parent and its subsidiaries) to participate in such Offer to the same extent and on an economically equivalent basis as the holders of Parent Shares, without discrimination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parent and Exchangeco will use reasonable best efforts expeditiously and in good faith to ensure that holders of Exchangeable Shares may participate in each such Offer without being required to retract Exchangeable Shares as against Exchangeco (or, if so required, to ensure that any such retraction shall be effective only upon, and shall be conditional upon, the closing of such Offer and only to the extent necessary to tender or deposit to the Offer).  Nothing herein shall affect the rights of Exchangeco to redeem, or the Parent or Callco to purchase pursuant to the Redemption Call Right, Exchangeable Shares in the event of a Parent Control Transaction.

2.9

The Parent and Affiliates Not to Vote Exchangeable Shares

Each of the Parent and Callco covenants and agrees that it shall appoint and cause to be appointed proxyholders with respect to all Exchangeable Shares held by it and its affiliates for the sole purpose of attending each meeting of holders of Exchangeable Shares in order to be counted as part of the quorum for each such meeting. Each of the Parent and Callco further covenants and agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its affiliates not to, exercise any voting rights which may be exercisable by holders of Exchangeable Shares from time to time pursuant to the Exchangeable Share Provisions or pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (or any successor or other corporate statute by which Exchangeco may in the future be governed) with respect to any Exchangeable Shares held by it or by its affiliates in respect of any matter considered at any meeting of holders of Exchangeable Shares, provided however, for further clarity, that this Section 2.9 shall not in any way restrict Callco’s right to vote its common shares of Exchangeco in accordance with the Exchangeable Share Provisions.

2.10

Ordinary Market Purchases

For certainty, nothing contained in this Agreement, including the obligations of the Parent contained in Section 2.8, shall limit the ability of the Parent (or any of its subsidiaries) to make ordinary market purchases of Parent Shares in accordance with applicable laws and regulatory or stock exchange requirements.



WSLegal\073132\00009\12677454v12




2.11

Ownership of Outstanding Shares

Without the prior approval of Exchangeco and the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with Section 11(b) of the Exchangeable Share Provisions, the Parent covenants and agrees in favour of Exchangeco that, as long as any Exchangeable Shares not owned by the Parent or its subsidiaries are outstanding, the Parent will be and remain the direct or indirect beneficial owner of all issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of Exchangeco and Callco.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent shall not be in violation of this Section 2.11 if any person or group of persons acting jointly or in concert acquires all or substantially all of the assets of the Parent or the Parent Shares pursuant to any merger of the Parent pursuant to which the Parent was not the surviving corporation.

ARTICLE 3
PARENT SUCCESSORS

3.1

Certain Requirements in Respect of Combination, etc.

So long as any Exchangeable Shares not owned by the Parent or its subsidiaries are outstanding, the Parent shall not consummate any transaction (whether by way of reconstruction, reorganization, consolidation, arrangement, amalgamation, merger, transfer, sale, lease or otherwise) whereby all or substantially all of its undertaking, property and assets (on a consolidated basis) would become the property of any other person or, in the case of a merger, of the continuing corporation or other legal entity resulting therefrom, provided that it may do so if:

(a)

such other person or continuing corporation or other legal entity (the " Parent Successor ") by operation of law, becomes, without more, bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement or, if not so bound, executes, prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of such transaction, an agreement supplemental hereto and such other instruments (if any) as are necessary or advisable to evidence the assumption by the Parent Successor of liability for all moneys payable and property deliverable hereunder and the covenant of such Parent Successor to pay and deliver or cause to be paid and delivered the same and its agreement to observe and perform all the covenants and obligations of the Parent under this Agreement; and

(b)

such transaction shall be upon such terms and conditions as to preserve and not to impair in any material respect any of the rights, duties, powers and authorities of the other parties hereunder or the holders of the Exchangeable Shares.

3.2

Vesting of Powers in Successor

Whenever the conditions of Section 3.1 have been duly observed and performed, the parties, if required by Section 3.1, shall execute and deliver the supplemental agreement provided for in Section 3.1(a) and thereupon the Parent Successor and such other person that may then be the issuer of the Parent Shares shall possess and from time to time may exercise each and every right and power of the Parent under this Agreement in the name of the Parent or otherwise and any act or proceeding by any provision of this Agreement required to be done or performed by the board of directors of the Parent or any officers of the Parent may be done and performed with like force and effect by the directors or officers of such Parent Successor.



WSLegal\073132\00009\12677454v12




3.3

Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries

Nothing herein shall be construed as preventing (a) the amalgamation or merger of any wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of the Parent with or into the Parent, (b) the winding-up, liquidation or dissolution of any wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of the Parent, provided that all of the assets of such subsidiary are transferred to the Parent or another wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of the Parent, (c) any other distribution of the assets of any wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of the Parent among the shareholders of such subsidiary for the purpose of winding up its affairs and (d) any such transactions are expressly permitted by this Article 3.

3.4

Successorship Transaction

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 3, in the event of a Parent Control Transaction:

(a)

in which the Parent merges or amalgamates with, or in which all or substantially all of the then outstanding Parent Shares are acquired by, one or more other corporations to which the Parent is, immediately before such merger, amalgamation or acquisition, "related" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (otherwise than by virtue of a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b) thereof);

(b)

which does not result in an acceleration of the Redemption Date in accordance with paragraph (b) of that definition; and

(c)

in which all or substantially all of the then outstanding Parent Shares are converted into or exchanged for shares or rights to receive such shares (the " Other Shares ") or another corporation (the " Other Corporation ") that, immediately after such Parent Control Transaction, owns or controls, directly or indirectly, the Parent;

then all references herein to "the Parent" shall thereafter be and be deemed to be references to "Other Corporation" and all references herein to "Parent Shares" shall thereafter be and be deemed to be references to "Other Shares" (with appropriate adjustments if any, as are required to result in a holder of Exchangeable Shares on the exchange, redemption or retraction of such shares pursuant to the Exchangeable Share Provisions or Article 4 of the Exchange Agreement or exchange of such shares pursuant to the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement immediately subsequent to the Parent Control Transaction being entitled to receive that number of Other Shares equal to the number of Other Shares such holder of Exchangeable Shares would have received if the exchange, redemption or retraction of such shares pursuant to the Exchangeable Share Provisions or Article 4 of the Exchange Agreement, or exchange of such shares pursuant to the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement had occurred immediately prior to the Parent Control Transaction and the Parent Control Transaction was completed) without any need to amend the terms and conditions of the Exchangeable Shares and without any further action required.

ARTICLE 4
GENERAL

4.1

Term

This Agreement shall come into force and be effective as of the date hereof and shall terminate and be of no further force and effect at such time as no Exchangeable Shares (or securities or rights



WSLegal\073132\00009\12677454v12




convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying rights to acquire Exchangeable Shares) are held by any person other than the Parent and any of its subsidiaries.

4.2

Changes in Capital of the Parent and Exchangeco

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.4, at all times after the occurrence of any event contemplated pursuant to Section 2.7 and Section 2.8 or otherwise, as a result of which either Parent Shares or the Exchangeable Shares or both are in any way changed, this Agreement shall forthwith be amended and modified as necessary in order that it shall apply with full force and effect, mutatis mutandis, to all new securities into which Parent Shares or the Exchangeable Shares or both are so changed and the parties hereto shall execute and deliver an agreement in writing giving effect to and evidencing such necessary amendments and modifications.

4.3

Severability

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

4.4

Amendments, Modifications

Subject to Section 4.2, Section 4.3 and Section 4.5, this Agreement may not be amended or modified except by an agreement in writing executed by the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco and approved by the holders of the Exchangeable Shares in accordance with Section 11(b) of the Exchangeable Share Provisions. No amendment or modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement otherwise permitted hereunder shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by all of the parties hereto.

4.5

Ministerial Amendments

(a)

adding to the covenants of any or all parties hereto if the board of directors of each of the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco shall be of the good faith opinion that such additions will not be prejudicial in any material respect to the rights or interests of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares as a whole;

(b)

evidencing the succession of Parent Successors and the covenants of and obligations assumed by each such Parent Successor in accordance with the provisions of Article 3;

(c)

making such amendments or modifications not inconsistent with this Agreement as may be necessary or desirable with respect to matters or questions arising hereunder which, in the good faith opinion of the board of directors of each of the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco, having in mind the interests of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares as a



WSLegal\073132\00009\12677454v12




whole, it may be expedient to make, provided that each such board of directors shall be of the good faith opinion, after consultation with counsel, that such amendments or modifications will not be prejudicial in any material respect to the rights or interests of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares as a whole; or

(d)

making such changes or corrections hereto which, on the advice of counsel to the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco, are required for the purpose of curing or correcting any ambiguity or defect or inconsistent provision or clerical omission or mistake or manifest error contained herein, provided that the boards of directors of each of the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco shall be of the good faith opinion that such changes or corrections will not be prejudicial in any material respect to the rights or interests of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares as a whole.

If only a part of the Exchangeable Shares represented by any certificate or certificates delivered to the Trustee are to be purchased by the Parent or Callco pursuant to the exercise of the Exchange Right, a new certificate for the balance of such Exchangeable Shares shall be issued to the holder by the Transfer Agent for the Exchangeable Shares at the expense of Exchangeco.

5.6

Delivery of Parent Shares; Effect of Exercise

Promptly after the receipt by the Trustee of the certificates representing the Exchangeable Shares which a Beneficiary desires the Parent or Callco to purchase pursuant to the exercise of the Exchange Right, together with a notice of exercise and such other documents and instruments specified by Section 5.5, the Trustee shall notify the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco of its receipt of the same, which notice to the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco shall constitute exercise of the Exchange Right by the Trustee on behalf of such Beneficiary in respect of such Exchangeable Shares, and the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, shall promptly thereafter deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, for delivery to such Beneficiary (or to such other persons, if any, properly designated by such Beneficiary) the Exchangeable Share Consideration deliverable in connection with such exercise of the Exchange Right; provided, however, that no such delivery shall be made unless and until the Beneficiary requesting the same shall have paid (or provided evidence satisfactory to the Parent, Callco, Exchangeco and the Trustee of the payment of) the taxes (if any) payable as contemplated by Section 5.8 of this Agreement.  Immediately upon the giving of notice by the Trustee to the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco of any exercise of the Exchange Right, as provided in this Section 5.6, the closing of the transaction of purchase and sale contemplated by the Exchange Right shall be deemed to have occurred, and the Beneficiary in respect of such Exchangeable Shares shall be deemed to have transferred to the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, all of such Beneficiary's right, title and interest in and to such Exchangeable Shares and in the related interest in the Trust Estate and shall cease to be a holder of such Exchangeable Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder in respect thereof, other than the right to receive the total Exchangeable Share Consideration in respect of such Exchangeable Shares, unless such Exchangeable Share Consideration is not delivered by the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, to the Trustee for delivery to such Beneficiary (or to such other person, if any, properly designated by such Beneficiary) within five Business Days of the date of the giving of such notice by the Trustee, in which case the rights of the Beneficiary shall remain unaffected until such Exchangeable Share Consideration is so delivered.  Upon delivery of such Exchangeable Share Consideration to the Trustee, the Trustee shall promptly deliver such Exchangeable Share Consideration to such Beneficiary (or to such other person, if any, properly designated by such Beneficiary).  Concurrently with the closing of the transaction of purchase and sale contemplated by such exercise of the Exchange Right, the Beneficiary shall be considered and deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the Parent Shares delivered to it pursuant to such exercise of the Exchange Right.

5.7

Exercise of Exchange Right Subsequent to Retraction

In the event that a Beneficiary has exercised its retraction right under Section 27.7 the Exchangeable Share Provisions to require Exchangeco to redeem any or all of the Exchangeable Shares held by the Beneficiary (the " Retracted Shares ") and, (a) is notified by Exchangeco pursuant to the Exchangeable Share Provisions that Exchangeco will not be permitted as a result of solvency requirements of applicable law to redeem all such Retracted Shares; (b) provided that neither the Parent nor Callco shall have exercised its Retraction Call Right with respect to the



WSLegal\073132\00009\12677454v12




Retracted Shares; and (c) that the Beneficiary shall not have revoked the retraction request delivered by the Beneficiary to Exchangeco pursuant to the Exchangeable Share Provisions, Exchangeco and the Beneficiary shall be required to provide the Trustee of written notice that (a) and (b) herein have occurred and further provided the Beneficiary has confirmed (c) herein to the Trustee, then  the retraction request will constitute and will be deemed to constitute notice from the Beneficiary to the Trustee instructing the Trustee to exercise the Exchange Right with respect to those Retracted Shares that Exchangeco is unable to redeem.  In any such event, Exchangeco hereby agrees with the Trustee, and in favour of the Beneficiary, promptly to notify the Trustee of such prohibition against Exchangeco  and non-exercise of Retraction Call Rights by the Parent or Callco and to forward or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee all relevant materials delivered by the Beneficiary to Exchangeco or to the Transfer Agent in connection with such proposed redemption of the Retracted Shares and the Trustee will upon confirmation from the Beneficiary of their non-revocation of the retraction request, exercise the Exchange Right with respect to the Retracted Shares that Exchangeco is not permitted to redeem and will require the Parent or, at the option of the Parent, Callco to purchase such shares in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5.

5.8

Stamp or Other Transfer Taxes

Upon any sale of Exchangeable Shares to the Parent pursuant to the exercise of the Exchange Right or the Automatic Exchange Right, the share certificate or certificates representing the Parent Shares to be delivered in connection with the payment of the purchase price therefor shall be issued in the name of the Beneficiary in respect of the Exchangeable Shares so sold or, if permitted under applicable law, in such names as such Beneficiary may otherwise direct in writing without charge to the holder of the Exchangeable Shares so sold; provided, however, that such Beneficiary (a) shall pay (and none of the Parent, Callco, Exchangeco or the Trustee shall be required to pay) any documentary, stamp, transfer of other taxes that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of such shares to a person other than such Beneficiary or (b) shall have evidenced to the satisfaction of the Parent, Callco, Exchangeco and the Trustee that such taxes (if any) have been paid.

5.9

Notice of Insolvency Event

As soon as practicable following the occurrence of an Insolvency Event or any event that with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would be an Insolvency Event, the Parent and Exchangeco shall give written notice thereof to the Trustee.  As soon as practicable after receiving notice from the Parent or Exchangeco of the occurrence of an Insolvency Event, or upon the Trustee otherwise becoming aware of an Insolvency Event, the Trustee shall mail to each Beneficiary, at the expense of the Parent (such funds to be received in advance), a notice of such Insolvency Event in the form provided by the Parent, which notice shall contain a brief statement of the rights of the Beneficiaries with respect to the Exchange Right.

5.10

Automatic Exchange on Liquidation of the Parent

(a)

The Parent shall give the Trustee written notice of each of the following events (each, a " Liquidation Event ") at the time set forth below:

(i)

in the event of any determination by the board of directors of the Parent to institute voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up proceedings with respect to the Parent or to effect any other distribution of assets of the Parent among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, at least 30 days



WSLegal\073132\00009\12677454v12




prior to the proposed effective date of such liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or other distribution; and

(ii)

as soon as practicable following the earlier of (A) receipt by the Parent of notice of and (B) the Parent otherwise becoming aware of any instituted claim, suit, petition or other proceedings with respect to the involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Parent or to effect any other distribution of assets of the Parent among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, in each case where the Parent has failed to contest in good faith any such proceeding commenced in respect of the Parent within 10 days of becoming aware thereof.

(b)

As soon as practicable following receipt by the Trustee from the Parent of notice of a Liquidation Event, the Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Beneficiaries.  Such notice shall be provided by the Parent to the Trustee and shall include a brief description of the automatic exchange of Exchangeable Shares for Parent Shares provided for in Section 5.10(c) (the " Automatic Exchange Right ").

(c)

In order that the Beneficiaries will be able to participate on a pro rata basis with the holders of Parent Shares in the distribution of assets of the Parent in connection with a Liquidation Event, immediately prior to the effective date (the " Liquidation Event Effective Date ") of a Liquidation Event, each of then outstanding Exchangeable Shares (other than Exchangeable Shares held by the Parent and its affiliates) shall be automatically exchanged for one Parent Share.  To effect such automatic exchange, the Parent shall purchase each such Exchangeable Share outstanding immediately prior to the Liquidation Event Effective Date, and each Beneficiary shall sell each Exchangeable Shares held by it at such time, free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance, for a purchase price per share equal to the Exchangeable Share Price on the last Business Day immediately prior to the Liquidation Event Effective Date, which price shall be satisfied in full by the Parent delivering to such holder the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing such Exchangeable Share Price.

(d)

The closing of the transaction of purchase and sale contemplated by any exercise of the Automatic Exchange Right shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Liquidation Event Effective Date, and each Beneficiary shall be deemed to have transferred to the Parent all of such Beneficiary's right, title and interest in and to the Exchangeable Shares held by such Beneficiary free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance and the related interest in the Trust Estate and each such Beneficiary shall cease to be a holder of such Exchangeable Shares and the Parent shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, for delivery to such Beneficiary, the Exchangeable Share Consideration deliverable to such Beneficiary upon such exercise of the Automatic Exchange Right.  Concurrently with each such Beneficiary ceasing to be a holder of Exchangeable Shares, such Beneficiary shall be considered and deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the Parent Shares included in the Exchangeable Share Consideration to be delivered to such Beneficiary and the certificates held by such Beneficiary previously representing the Exchangeable Shares exchanged by the Beneficiary with the Parent pursuant to the exercise of the Automatic Exchange Right shall thereafter be deemed to represent the Parent Shares issued to such Beneficiary by the Parent pursuant to the exercise of the Automatic Exchange Right.  Upon the request of any Beneficiary and the surrender by such Beneficiary of Exchangeable Share certificates deemed to represent Parent Shares, duly endorsed in



WSLegal\073132\00009\12677454v12




blank and accompanied by such instruments of transfer as the Parent may reasonably require, the Parent shall deliver or cause to be delivered to such Beneficiary certificates representing the Parent Shares of which the Beneficiary is the holder.

5.11

Withholding Rights

The Parent, Callco and Exchangeco shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any dividend, distribution, price or other consideration otherwise payable under this Agreement to any holder of Exchangeable Shares or Parent Shares such amounts as the Parent, Callco or Exchangeco is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Income Tax Act (Canada) or United States tax laws or any provision of provincial, state, local or foreign tax Law, in each case as amended or succeeded. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the holder of the shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing agency. To the extent that the amount so required to be deducted or withheld from any payment to a holder exceeds the cash portion of the consideration otherwise payable to the holder, the Parent, Callco or Exchangeco are hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of such portion of the consideration as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to the Parent, Callco or Exchangeco as the case may be, to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement and the Parent, Callco or Exchangeco as the case may be, shall notify the holder thereof and remit to such holder any unapplied balance of the net proceeds of such sale.

The Trustee, or any trustee hereafter appointed, may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco specifying the date on which it desires to resign, provided that such notice shall not be given less than 30 days before such desired resignation date unless the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco otherwise agree and provided further that such resignation shall not take effect until the date of the appointment of a successor trustee and the acceptance of such appointment by the successor trustee.  Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco shall promptly appoint a successor trustee, which successor trustee shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Canada and authorized to carry on the business of a trust company in all provinces and territories of Canada, by written notice of appointment of such successor trustee, one copy of which shall be delivered to the resigning trustee and one copy to the successor trustee.  Failing the appointment and acceptance of a successor trustee, a successor trustee may be appointed by order of a court of competent jurisdiction upon application of one or more of the parties to this Agreement.  If the retiring trustee is the party initiating an application for the appointment of a successor trustee by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco shall be jointly and severally liable to reimburse the retiring trustee for its legal costs and expenses in connection with same.

9.2

Removal

The Trustee, or any trustee hereafter appointed, may (provided a successor trustee is appointed) be removed at any time on not less than 30 days' prior notice by written instrument executed by the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco, in duplicate, one copy of which shall be delivered to the trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, provided that such removal shall not take effect until the date of acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee.

9.3

Successor Trustee

Any successor trustee appointed as provided under this Agreement shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment.  Thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee in this Agreement.  However, on the written request of the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due to it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights



WSLegal\073132\00009\12677454v12




and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act.  Upon the request of any such successor trustee, the Parent, Callco, Exchangeco and such predecessor trustee shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any corporation to which all or substantially all of the business of the Trustee is transferred shall automatically become the successor trustee without any further act.

9.4

Notice of Successor Trustee

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided herein, the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco shall cause to be mailed notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to each Beneficiary specified in a List.  If the Parent, Callco or Exchangeco shall fail to cause such notice to be mailed within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco.

Certain Requirements in Respect of Combination, etc.

So long as any Exchangeable Shares not owned by the Parent or its affiliates are outstanding, the Parent shall not enter into any transaction (whether by way of reconstruction, reorganization, consolidation, arrangement, amalgamation, merger, transfer, sale, lease or otherwise) whereby all or substantially all of its undertaking, property and assets would become the property of any other person or, in the case of a merger, of the continuing corporation resulting therefrom, provided that it may do so if:

(a)

such other person or continuing corporation (the " Parent Successor "), by operation of law, becomes, without more, bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement or, if not so bound, executes, prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of such transaction, a trust agreement supplemental hereto and such other instruments (if any) as are necessary or advisable to evidence the assumption by the Parent Successor of liability for all moneys payable and property deliverable hereunder and the covenant of such Parent Successor to pay and deliver or cause to be delivered the same and its agreement to observe and perform all the covenants and obligations of the Parent under this Agreement; and

(b)

such transaction shall be upon such terms and conditions as substantially to preserve and not to impair in any material respect any of the rights, duties, powers and authorities of the Trustee or of the Beneficiaries hereunder.

10.2

Vesting of Powers in Successor

Whenever the conditions of Section 10.1 have been duly observed and performed, the parties, if required by Section 10.1, shall execute and deliver the supplemental trust agreement provided for in Article 11 and thereupon the Parent Successor and such other person that may then be the issuer of the Parent Shares shall possess and from time to time may exercise each and every right and power of the Parent under this Agreement in the name of the Parent or otherwise and any act or proceeding by any provision of this Agreement required to be done or performed by the board



WSLegal\073132\00009\12677454v12




of directors of the Parent or any officers of the Parent may be done and performed with like force and effect by the directors or officers of such Parent Successor.

10.3

Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries

Nothing herein shall be construed as preventing (a) the amalgamation or merger of any wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of the Parent with or into the Parent, (b) the winding-up, liquidation or dissolution of any wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of the Parent, provided that all of the assets of such subsidiary are transferred to the Parent or another wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of the Parent, (c) any other distribution of the assets of any wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of the Parent among the shareholders of such subsidiary for the purpose of winding up its affairs or (d) any such transactions which are expressly permitted by this Article 10.

10.4

Successor Transactions

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 10, in the event of a Parent Control Transaction:

in which the Parent merges or amalgamates with, or in which all or substantially all of the then outstanding Parent Shares are acquired by, one or more other corporations to which the Parent is, immediately before such merger, amalgamation or acquisition, "related" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (otherwise than by virtue of a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b) thereof);

(b)

which does not result in an acceleration of the Redemption Date in accordance with paragraph (ii) of that definition; and

(c)

in which all or substantially all of the then outstanding Parent Shares are converted into or exchanged for shares or rights to receive such shares (the "Other Shares") of another corporation (the " Other Corporation ") that, immediately after such Parent Control Transaction, owns or controls, directly or indirectly, the Parent,

then, (i) all references herein to "the Parent" shall thereafter be and be deemed to be references to "Other Corporation" and all references herein to "Parent Shares" shall thereafter be and be deemed to be references to "Other Shares" (with appropriate adjustments, if any, as are required to result in a holder of Exchangeable Shares on the exchange, redemption or retraction of such shares pursuant to the Exchangeable Share Provisions or Article 4 of the Exchange Agreement or exchange of such shares pursuant to this Agreement immediately subsequent to the Parent Control Transaction being entitled to receive that number of Other Shares equal to the number of Other Shares such holder of Exchangeable Shares would have received if the exchange, redemption or retraction of such shares pursuant to the Exchangeable Share Provisions or Article 4 of the Exchange Agreement, or exchange of such shares pursuant to this Agreement had occurred immediately prior to the Parent Control Transaction and the Parent Control Transaction was completed) without any need to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement and without any further action required and (ii) the Parent shall cause the Other Corporation to deposit one or more voting securities of such Other Corporation to allow Beneficiaries to exercise voting rights in respect of the Other Corporation substantially similar to those provided for in this Agreement.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco of a claim or of any action commenced against any Indemnified Parties promptly after the Trustee or any of the Indemnified Parties shall have received written assertion of such a claim or action or have been served with a summons or other first legal process giving information as to the nature and basis of the claim or action; provided, however, that the omission to so notify the Parent, Callco or Exchangeco shall not relieve the Parent, Callco or Exchangeco of any liability which any of them may have to any Indemnified Party except to the extent that any such delay prejudices the defence of any such claim or action or results in any increase in the liability which the Parent, Callco or Exchangeco have under this indemnity.  Subject to (ii) below, the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco shall be entitled to participate at their own expense in the defence and, if the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco so elect at any time after receipt of such notice, any of them may assume the defence of any suit brought to enforce any such claim.  The Trustee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such suit and participate in the defence thereof, and the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco unless (i) the employment of such counsel has not been authorized by the Parent, Callco or Exchangeco, which authorization must not be unreasonably withheld  or (ii) the named parties to any such suit include both the Trustee and the Parent, Callco or Exchangeco and the Trustee shall have been advised by counsel acceptable to the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco that there may be one or more legal defences available to the Trustee that are different from or in addition to those available to the Parent, Callco or Exchangeco and that, in the judgement of such counsel, would present a conflict of interest were a joint representation to be undertaken (in which case the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco shall not have the right to assume the defence of such suit on behalf of the Trustee but shall be liable to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Trustee).  This indemnity shall survive the termination of the Trust and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

2.1

Covenants Regarding Exchangeable Shares

So long as any Exchangeable Shares not owned by the Parent or its affiliates are outstanding, the Parent shall:

not declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution on the Parent Shares unless:

(i)

Exchangeco shall (A) simultaneously declare or pay, as the case may be, an equivalent dividend or other distribution economically equivalent thereto (as determined in accordance with the Exchangeable Share Provisions) on the Exchangeable Shares (an " Equivalent Dividend ") and (B) have sufficient money or other assets or authorized but unissued securities available to enable the due declaration and the due and punctual payment, in accordance with applicable law and the Exchangeable Share Provisions, of any such Equivalent Dividend; or

if the dividend is a stock dividend or distribution of stock, in lieu of such a dividend, on the Parent Shares, Exchangeco shall (A) effect a corresponding, contemporaneous and economically equivalent subdivision of the Exchangeable Shares (as determined in accordance with the Exchangeable Share Provisions) (an " Equivalent Stock Subdivision ") and (B) have sufficient authorized but unissued securities available to enable the Equivalent Stock Subdivision;

(b)

advise Exchangeco sufficiently in advance of the declaration by the Parent of any dividend or other distribution on the Parent Shares and take all such other actions as are reasonably necessary or desirable, in co-operation with Exchangeco, to ensure that:

(i)

the respective declaration date, record date and payment date for an Equivalent Dividend shall be the same as the declaration date, record date and payment date for the corresponding dividend or other distribution on the Parent Shares; or

(ii)

the record date and effective date for an Equivalent Stock Subdivision shall be the same as the record date and payment date for the corresponding stock dividend or distribution of stock, in lieu of such a dividend, on the Parent Shares and that such Equivalent Stock Subdivision shall comply with the requirements, if any, of the stock exchange or quotation system on which the Exchangeable Shares are then listed or quoted;



- 3 -


(c)

ensure that the record date for determining shareholders entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution declared on the Parent Shares is not less than ten Business Days after the declaration date of such dividend or other distribution or such shorter period as may be permitted under applicable law and, if applicable, the requirements of any stock exchange or quotation system on which the Exchangeable Shares are then listed or quoted;

(d)

take all such actions and do all such things as are reasonably necessary or desirable to enable and permit Exchangeco, in accordance with applicable law, to pay and otherwise perform its obligations with respect to the satisfaction of the Liquidation Amount, the Retraction Price or the Redemption Price upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Exchangeco or any other distribution of the assets of Exchangeco among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the delivery of a Retraction Request by a holder of Exchangeable Shares or a redemption of Exchangeable Shares by Exchangeco, as the case may be, including all such actions and all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit Exchangeco to deliver or cause to be delivered Parent Shares or other property to the holders of Exchangeable Shares in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5, 6 or 7, as the case may be, of the Exchangeable Share Provisions;

(e)

take all such actions and do all such things as are reasonably necessary or desirable to enable and permit the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, in accordance with applicable law, to perform its obligations arising upon the exercise by it of the Liquidation Call Right, the Retraction Call Right, the Change of Law Call Right or the Redemption Call Right (as defined in the Exchange Agreement), including all such actions and all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, to deliver or cause to be delivered Parent Shares or other property to the holders of Exchangeable Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Liquidation Call Right, the Retraction Call Right, the Change of Law Call Right or the Redemption Call Right, as the case may be; and

(f)

except in connection with any event, circumstance or action which causes or could cause the occurrence of a Redemption Date, not exercise its vote as a shareholder of Exchangeco to initiate the voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Exchangeco or any other distribution of the assets of Exchangeco among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, nor take any action or omit to take any action that is designed to result in the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Exchangeco or any other distribution of the assets of Exchangeco among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs.

2.2

Segregation of Funds

The Parent shall cause Exchangeco to deposit a sufficient amount of funds in a separate account of Exchangeco and segregate a sufficient amount of such other assets and property as is necessary to enable Exchangeco to pay dividends when due and to pay or otherwise satisfy its respective obligations with respect to the applicable dividend, Liquidation Amount, Retraction Price or Redemption Price, in each case once such amounts become payable under the terms of this Agreement or the Exchangeable Share Provisions.

The Parent hereby represents, warrants and covenants in favour of Exchangeco and Callco that the Parent has reserved for issuance and shall, at all times while any Exchangeable Shares are outstanding, keep available, free from pre-emptive and other rights, out of its authorized and unissued capital stock, such number of Parent Shares (or other shares or securities into which Parent Shares may be reclassified or changed as contemplated by Section 2.7):

All such Parent Shares shall be duly authorized and validly issued as fully paid, non-assessable, free of pre-emptive rights and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance.  In consideration for the issuance and delivery of each such Parent Share, Callco or Exchangeco, as the case may be, shall subscribe a cash amount or pay a purchase price equal to the fair market value of the Parent Shares, and the Parent shall contribute or cause to be contributed to the capital of Callco or Exchangeco, as the case may be, the cash necessary for Callco or Exchangeco, as the case may be, to effect such subscription or payment.

2.6

Qualification of Parent Shares

(a)

The Parent covenants that it will use its reasonable best efforts to make such filings and seek such regulatory consents and approvals, if any, as are necessary so that the Parent Shares to be issued to holders of Exchangeable Shares pursuant to the terms of the Exchangeable Share Provisions, the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement and this Agreement will be issued in compliance with the applicable securities laws in Canada and the United States (other than by reason of a holder being a ‘‘control person’’ of the Parent for purposes of Canadian federal, provincial or territorial securities laws or by holders who are Affiliates of the Parent within the meaning of U.S. securities laws). The Parent will in good faith expeditiously take all such reasonable actions and do all such things as are reasonably necessary or desirable to cause all Parent Shares to be delivered hereunder to be listed, quoted and posted for trading on all stock exchanges and/or quotation systems on which outstanding Parent Shares have been listed or quoted by the Parent and remain listed and are quoted or posted for trading at such time.

(b)

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Exchangeable Share Provisions, or any term of this Agreement, the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement or the Exchange Agreement, no Parent Shares shall be issued (and the Parent will not be required to issue any Parent Shares) in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Exchangeco, or any retraction, redemption or any other exchange, direct or indirect, of Exchangeable Shares, if such issuance of Parent Shares would not be permitted by applicable laws.

2.7

Economic Equivalence

So long as any Exchangeable Shares not owned by the Parent or its subsidiaries are outstanding:

(a)

The Parent shall not without prior approval of Exchangeco and the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with Section 11(b) of the Exchangeable Share Provisions:

(i)

issue or distribute Parent Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Shares) to the holders of all or substantially all of the then outstanding Parent Shares by way of stock dividend or other distribution, other than an issue of Parent Shares (or securities



- 6 -


exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Shares) to holders of Parent Shares (A) who exercise an option to receive dividends in Parent Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Shares) in lieu of receiving cash dividends or (B) pursuant to any dividend reinvestment plan or similar arrangement; or

issue or distribute to the holders of all or substantially all of the then outstanding Parent Shares (A) shares or securities of the Parent of any class other than Parent Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying rights to acquire Parent Shares), (B) rights, options, warrants or other assets other than those referred to in Section 2.7(a)(i), (C) evidence of indebtedness of the Parent or (D) assets of the Parent,

unless, in each case, (x) Exchangeco is permitted under applicable law to issue or distribute the economic equivalent on a per share basis of such rights, options, warrants, securities, shares, evidences of indebtedness or other assets to holders of the Exchangeable Shares and (y) Exchangeco shall issue or distribute the economic equivalent of such rights, options, warrants, securities, shares, evidences of indebtedness or other assets simultaneously to holders of the Exchangeable Shares, provided that, for greater certainty, the above restrictions shall not apply to any securities issued or distributed by the Parent in order to give effect to and to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and in accordance with, the Exchange Agreement.

(b)

The Parent shall not without the prior approval of Exchangeco and the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with Section 11(b) of the Exchangeable Share Provisions:

(i)

subdivide, redivide or change the then outstanding Parent Shares into a greater number of Parent Shares; or

(ii)

reduce, combine, consolidate or change the then outstanding Parent Shares into a lesser number of Parent Shares; or

(iii)

reclassify or otherwise change Parent Shares or effect an amalgamation, merger, arrangement, reorganization or other transaction affecting Parent Shares;

unless, in each case, (x) Exchangeco is permitted under applicable law to make the same or an economically equivalent change to, or in the rights of holders of, the Exchangeable Shares, and (y) the same or an economically equivalent change is made simultaneously to, or in the rights of the holders of, the Exchangeable Shares, provided that, for greater certainty, the above restrictions shall not apply to any securities issued or distributed by the Parent in order to give effect to and to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and in accordance with, the Exchange Agreement.



- 7 -


(c)

The Parent shall ensure that the record date for any event referred to in Section 2.7(a) or Section 2.7(b) or, if no record date is applicable for such event, the effective date for any such event is not less than ten Business Days after the date on which such event is declared or announced by the Parent (with contemporaneous notification thereof by the Parent to Exchangeco).

(d)

The board of directors of Exchangeco shall determine, in good faith and in its sole discretion (with the assistance of such financial or other advisors as the board of may determine), "economic equivalence" for the purposes of any event referred to in Section 2.7(a) or Section 2.7(b) and each such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Parent.  In making each such determination, the following factors shall, without excluding other factors determined by the board of directors of Exchangeco to be relevant, be considered by the board of directors of Exchangeco:

(i)

in the case of any stock dividend or other distribution payable in Parent Shares, the number of such shares issued in proportion to the number of Parent Shares previously outstanding;

(ii)

in the case of the issuance or distribution of any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Parent Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Shares), the relationship between the exercise price of each such right, option or warrant, the Current Market Price of a Parent Share, the volatility of Parent Shares and the terms of any such instrument;

(iii)

in the case of the issuance or distribution of any other form of property (including any shares or securities of the Parent of any class other than Parent Shares, any rights, options or warrants other than those referred to in Section 2.7(d)(ii), any evidences of indebtedness of the Parent or any assets of the Parent), the relationship between the fair market value (as determined by the board of directors of Exchangeco in the manner above contemplated) of such property to be issued or distributed with respect to each outstanding Parent Share and the Current Market Price of a Parent Share;

(iv)

in the case of any subdivision, redivision or change of the then outstanding Parent Shares into a greater number of Parent Shares or the reduction, combination, consolidation or change of the then outstanding Parent Shares into a lesser number of Parent Shares or any amalgamation, merger, arrangement, reorganization or other transaction affecting Parent Shares, the effect thereof upon the then outstanding Parent Shares; and

(v)

in all such cases, the general taxation consequences of the relevant event to holders of Exchangeable Shares to the extent that such consequences may differ from the taxation consequences to holders of Parent Shares as a result of differences between taxation laws of Canada and the United States (except for any differing consequences arising as a result of differing withholding taxes and marginal taxation rates and without regard to the individual circumstances of holders of Exchangeable Shares).

(e)

Exchangeco agrees that, to the extent required, upon due notice from the Parent, Exchangeco shall use its best efforts to take or cause to be taken such steps as may be



- 8 -


necessary for the purposes of ensuring that appropriate dividends are paid or other distributions are made by Exchangeco, or subdivisions, redivisions or changes are made to the Exchangeable Shares, in order to implement the required economic equivalence with respect to the Parent Shares and Exchangeable Shares as provided for in this Section 2.7.

2.8

Tender Offers

In the event that a tender offer, share exchange offer, issuer bid, take-over bid or similar transaction with respect to Parent Shares (an " Offer ") is proposed by the Parent or is proposed to the Parent or its shareholders and is recommended by the board of directors of the Parent, or is otherwise effected or to be effected with the consent or approval of the board of directors of the Parent, and the Exchangeable Shares are not redeemed by Exchangeco or purchased by the Parent or Callco pursuant to the Redemption Call Right, the Parent and Exchangeco will use reasonable best efforts to take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit holders of Exchangeable Shares (other than the Parent and its subsidiaries) to participate in such Offer to the same extent and on an economically equivalent basis as the holders of Parent Shares, without discrimination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parent and Exchangeco will use reasonable best efforts expeditiously and in good faith to ensure that holders of Exchangeable Shares may participate in each such Offer without being required to retract Exchangeable Shares as against Exchangeco (or, if so required, to ensure that any such retraction shall be effective only upon, and shall be conditional upon, the closing of such Offer and only to the extent necessary to tender or deposit to the Offer).  Nothing herein shall affect the rights of Exchangeco to redeem, or the Parent or Callco to purchase pursuant to the Redemption Call Right, Exchangeable Shares in the event of a Parent Control Transaction.

2.9

The Parent and Affiliates Not to Vote Exchangeable Shares

Each of the Parent and Callco covenants and agrees that it shall appoint and cause to be appointed proxyholders with respect to all Exchangeable Shares held by it and its affiliates for the sole purpose of attending each meeting of holders of Exchangeable Shares in order to be counted as part of the quorum for each such meeting. Each of the Parent and Callco further covenants and agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its affiliates not to, exercise any voting rights which may be exercisable by holders of Exchangeable Shares from time to time pursuant to the Exchangeable Share Provisions or pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (or any successor or other corporate statute by which Exchangeco may in the future be governed) with respect to any Exchangeable Shares held by it or by its affiliates in respect of any matter considered at any meeting of holders of Exchangeable Shares, provided however, for further clarity, that this Section 2.9 shall not in any way restrict Callco’s right to vote its common shares of Exchangeco in accordance with the Exchangeable Share Provisions.

2.10

Ordinary Market Purchases

For certainty, nothing contained in this Agreement, including the obligations of the Parent contained in Section 2.8, shall limit the ability of the Parent (or any of its subsidiaries) to make ordinary market purchases of Parent Shares in accordance with applicable laws and regulatory or stock exchange requirements.

2.11

Ownership of Outstanding Shares

Without the prior approval of Exchangeco and the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with Section 11(b) of the Exchangeable Share Provisions, the



- 9 -


Parent covenants and agrees in favour of Exchangeco that, as long as any Exchangeable Shares not owned by the Parent or its subsidiaries are outstanding, the Parent will be and remain the direct or indirect beneficial owner of all issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of Exchangeco and Callco.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent shall not be in violation of this Section 2.11 if any person or group of persons acting jointly or in concert acquires all or substantially all of the assets of the Parent or the Parent Shares pursuant to any merger of the Parent pursuant to which the Parent was not the surviving corporation.

ARTICLE 3
PARENT SUCCESSORS

3.1

Certain Requirements in Respect of Combination, etc.

(a)

such other person or continuing corporation or other legal entity (the " Parent Successor ") by operation of law, becomes, without more, bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement or, if not so bound, executes, prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of such transaction, an agreement supplemental hereto and such other instruments (if any) as are necessary or advisable to evidence the assumption by the Parent Successor of liability for all moneys payable and property deliverable hereunder and the covenant of such Parent Successor to pay and deliver or cause to be paid and delivered the same and its agreement to observe and perform all the covenants and obligations of the Parent under this Agreement; and

(b)

such transaction shall be upon such terms and conditions as to preserve and not to impair in any material respect any of the rights, duties, powers and authorities of the other parties hereunder or the holders of the Exchangeable Shares.

3.2

Vesting of Powers in Successor

Whenever the conditions of Section 3.1 have been duly observed and performed, the parties, if required by Section 3.1, shall execute and deliver the supplemental agreement provided for in Section 3.1(a) and thereupon the Parent Successor and such other person that may then be the issuer of the Parent Shares shall possess and from time to time may exercise each and every right and power of the Parent under this Agreement in the name of the Parent or otherwise and any act or proceeding by any provision of this Agreement required to be done or performed by the board of directors of the Parent or any officers of the Parent may be done and performed with like force and effect by the directors or officers of such Parent Successor.

3.3

3.4

Committee Complying with Section 162(m) .  When necessary or desirable for an Award to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code the Committee shall include at least two persons who are “Outside Directors” (as such term is defined in Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) and at least two (or a majority if more than two then serve on the Committee) such Outside Directors shall approve the grant of such Award and timely determine (as applicable) the performance period and any performance criteria upon which vesting or settlement of any portion of such Award is to be subject.

3.6

Indemnification .   In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or the Committee or as officers or employees of the Participating Company Group, to the extent permitted by applicable law, members of the Board or the Committee and any officers or employees of the Participating Company Group to whom authority to act for the Board, the Committee or the Company is delegated shall be indemnified by the Company against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan, or any right granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct in duties; provided, however, that within sixty (60) days after the institution of such action, suit or proceeding, such person shall offer to the Company, in writing, the opportunity at its own expense to handle and defend the same.

3.7

Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to the restrictions and limits that the Board or Committee specifies at the time of such delegation, and the Board or Committee, as the case may be, may, at any time, rescind the authority so delegated or appoint a new delegatee. At all times, the delegatee appointed under this Section 3.7 shall serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the Board and the Committee.

4.

SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN .

4.1

Maximum Number of Shares Issuable .  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3, as of the Plan’s Effective Date, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to Awards shall be equal to 3,750,000 shares; provided that the maximum



10


number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to Awards shall automatically and without any further Company or shareholder approval, increase on January 1 of each year for not more than 10 years from the Effective Date, so the number of shares that may be issued is an amount no greater than 15% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Stock and shares of Stock underlying any outstanding Exchangeable Shares as of such January 1; provided further that no such increase shall be effective if it would violate any applicable law or stock exchange rule or regulation, or result in adverse tax consequences to the Company or any Participant that would not otherwise result but for the increase.

4.2

Share Counting . If an outstanding Award for any reason expires or is terminated or canceled without having been exercised or settled in full, or if shares of Stock acquired pursuant to an Award subject to forfeiture or repurchase are forfeited or repurchased by the Company for an amount not greater than the Participant’s purchase price, then in each case the shares of Stock allocable to the terminated portion of such Award or such forfeited or repurchased shares of Stock shall again be available for issuance under the Plan. Shares of Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued pursuant to the Plan with respect to any portion of an Award that is settled in cash. Shares withheld or reacquired by the Company in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations applicable to Appreciation Awards pursuant to Section 16.2, shall not again be available for issuance under the Plan. Shares withheld by the Company in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations described in Section 16.2 with respect to Full Value Awards, shall again be available for issuance under the Plan. Upon payment in shares of Stock pursuant to the exercise of an SAR, the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the gross number of shares subject to such SAR. If the exercise price of an Appreciation Award is paid by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock owned by the Participant, or by means of a Net Exercise, the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the gross number of shares of stock for which the Option is exercised. Shares reacquired by the Company on the open market or otherwise using cash proceeds from the exercise of Options shall not be added to the shares of Stock authorized for grant under this Plan.

4.3

Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company and the requirements of Section 409A Section 424 of the Code to the extent applicable, in the event of any change in the Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, whether through merger, consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or in the event of payment of a dividend or distribution to the stockholders of the Company in a form other than Stock (excepting regular, periodic cash dividends) that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of shares of Stock, appropriate and proportionate adjustments shall be made in the number and kind of shares subject to the Plan and to any outstanding Awards, the Award limits set forth in Section 5.3, and in the exercise or purchase price per share under any outstanding Award in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights under the Plan. For purposes of the foregoing, conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as “effected without receipt of consideration by the Company.” If a majority of the shares which are of the same class as the shares that are subject to outstanding Awards are exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise become (whether or not pursuant to a Change in Control) shares of another corporation (the “New Shares”), the Committee may unilaterally amend the outstanding Awards to provide that such Awards are for New Shares. In the event of any such amendment, the number of shares subject to, and the exercise or purchase price per share of, the outstanding Awards shall be adjusted in a fair and equitable manner as determined by the Committee, in its discretion. Any fractional share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and in no event may the exercise or purchase price under any Award be decreased to an amount less than the par value, if any, of the stock subject to such Award. The Committee in its discretion, may also make such adjustments in the terms of any Award to reflect, or related to, such changes in the capital structure of the Company or distributions as it deems appropriate,



11


including modification of Performance Goals, Performance Award Formulas and Performance Periods. The adjustments determined by the Committee pursuant to this Section shall be final, binding and conclusive.

4.4

Assumption or Substitution of Awards .  To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Substitute Awards shall not reduce the number of shares of Stock authorized for grant under the Plan. Additionally, in the event that an entity acquired by the Company or any Affiliate or with which the Company or any Affiliate combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders or equity holders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the number of shares of Stock authorized for grant under the Plan; provided that Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not employed by or providing services to the Company or its Affiliates immediately prior to such acquisition or combination.

5.

ELIGIBILITY, PARTICIPATION AND AWARD LIMITATIONS .

5.1

Persons Eligible for Awards .  Awards may be granted only to Employees, Consultants and Directors.

5.2

Participation in the Plan. Awards are granted solely at the discretion of the Committee . Eligible persons may be granted more than one Award. However, eligibility in accordance with this Section shall not entitle any person to be granted an Award, or, having been granted an Award, to be granted an additional Award.

5.3

Award Limitations .

(a)

Incentive Stock Option Limitations.

(i)

Maximum Number of Shares Issuable Pursuant to Incentive Stock Options.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall not exceed 3,750,000.

(ii)

Persons Eligible.  An Incentive Stock Option may be granted only to a person who, on the effective date of grant, is an Employee of the Company, a Parent Company or a Subsidiary Company (each being an  ISO-Qualifying Company ). Any person who is not an Employee of an ISO-Qualifying Company on the effective date of the grant of an Option to such person may be granted only a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

(iii)

Fair Market Value Limitation.  To the extent that options designated as Incentive Stock Options (granted under all stock option plans of the Participating Company Group, including the Plan) become exercisable by a Participant for the first time during any calendar year for stock having a Fair Market Value greater than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the portion of such options which exceeds such amount shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. For purposes of this Section, options designated as Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of stock shall be determined as of the time



12


the option with respect to such stock is granted. If the Code is amended to provide for a limitation different from that set forth in this Section, such different limitation shall be deemed incorporated herein effective as of the date and with respect to such Options as required or permitted by such amendment to the Code. If an Option is treated as an Incentive Stock Option in part and as a Non-Qualified Stock Option in part by reason of the limitation set forth in this Section, the Participant may designate which portion of such Option the Participant is exercising. In the absence of such designation, the Participant shall be deemed to have exercised the Incentive Stock Option portion of the Option first. Upon exercise, shares issued pursuant to each such portion shall be separately identified.

(b)

Section 162(m) Award Limits .  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3, no Employee shall be granted within any fiscal year of the Company one or more Awards intended to qualify for treatment as Performance-Based Compensation, (i) in the case of Options and SARs, that provide for the acquisition of more than 3,750,000 shares of Stock and (ii) in the case of other Awards, which could result in such Employee receiving more than 3,750,000 shares of Stock for each full fiscal year of the Company contained in the Performance Period relating to such Award. With respect to an Award of Performance Based Compensation payable in cash to a Participant, the maximum dollar amount of such Award shall be $1,000,000 for each fiscal year of the Company contained in the Performance Period relating to such Award.

6.

STOCK OPTIONS .   Options shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of shares of Stock covered thereby, in such form as the Committee shall from time to time establish. Award Agreements evidencing Options may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

6.1

Exercise Price .  The exercise price for each Option shall be established in the discretion of the Committee; provided, however, that (a) the exercise price per share shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the Option and (b) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Owner shall have an exercise price per share less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option (whether an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option) may be granted with an exercise price lower than the minimum exercise price set forth above if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner that would qualify under the provisions of Section 409A or Section 424(a) of the Code.

6.2

Exercisability and Term of Options .  Options shall be exercisable at such time or times, or upon such event or events, and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria and restrictions as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option; provided, however, that (a) no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years after the effective date of grant of such Option and (b) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Owner shall be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years after the effective date of grant of such Option. Subject to the foregoing, unless otherwise specified by the Committee in the grant of an Option, each Option shall terminate ten (10) years after the effective date of grant of the Option, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its provisions.

6.3

Payment of Exercise Price .

(a)

Forms of Consideration Authorized.  Except as otherwise provided below, payment of the exercise price for the number of shares of Stock being purchased pursuant to any Option shall be made (i) in cash, by check or in cash equivalent; (ii) if permitted by the Committee and subject to the limitations contained in Section 6.3(b), by means of (1) a Cashless Exercise, (2) a Stock Tender Exercise or (3) a Net Exercise; (iii) by such other consideration as may be approved by the



13


Committee from time to time to the extent permitted by applicable law, or (iv) by any combination thereof. The Committee may at any time or from time to time grant Options which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment of the exercise price or which otherwise restrict one or more forms of consideration.

(b)

Limitations on Forms of Consideration.

(i)

Cashless Exercise.  A  Cashless Exercise  means the delivery of a properly executed notice of exercise together with irrevocable instructions to a broker providing for the assignment to the Company of the proceeds of a sale or loan with respect to some or all of the shares being acquired upon the exercise of the Option (including, without limitation, through an exercise complying with the provisions of Regulation T as promulgated from time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). The Company reserves, at any and all times, the right, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, to establish, decline to approve or terminate any program or procedures for the exercise of Options by means of a Cashless Exercise, including with respect to one or more Participants specified by the Company notwithstanding that such program or procedures may be available to other Participants.

(ii)

Stock Tender Exercise.  A  Stock Tender Exercise  means the delivery of a properly executed exercise notice accompanies by a Participant’s tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, in a form acceptable to the Company of whole shares of Stock owned by the Participant having a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price for the shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. A Stock Tender Exercise shall not be permitted if it would constitute a violation of the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company’s stock. If required by the Company, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock unless such shares either have been owned by the Participant for a period of time required by the Company (and not used for another option exercise by attestation during such period) or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company.

(iii)

Net Exercise.  A  Net Exercise  means the delivery of a properly executed exercise notice followed by a procedure pursuant to which (1) the Company will reduce the number of shares otherwise issuable to a Participant upon the exercise of an Option by the largest whole number of shares having a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price for the shares with respect to which the Option is exercised, and (2) the Participant shall pay to the Company in cash the remaining balance of such aggregate exercise price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole shares to be issued.

6.4

Effect of Termination of Service .

(a)

Option Exercisability.  Subject to earlier termination of the Option as otherwise provided by this Plan and unless otherwise provided by the Committee, an Option shall terminate immediately upon the Participant’s termination of Service to the extent that it is then unvested and shall be exercisable after the Participant’s termination of Service to the extent it is then vested only during the applicable time period determined in accordance with this Section and thereafter shall terminate. Except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, or other agreement governing the Option, Options shall be subject to the following terms with respect to terminations of Service as follows:

(i)

Disability.  If the Participant’s Service terminates because of the Disability of the Participant, the Option to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, by the Participant (or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative) at any time prior to the expiration of one (1) year after the date on which the Participant’s Service



14


terminated, but in any event no later than the date of expiration of the Option’s term as set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option (the  Option Expiration Date ).

(ii)

Death.  If the Participant’s Service terminates because of the death of the Participant, the Option to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, by the Participant’s legal representative or other person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by reason of the Participant’s death at any time prior to the expiration of one (1) year after the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date.

(iii)

Termination for Cause.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the Participant’s Service is terminated for Cause or if, following the Participant’s termination of Service and during any period in which the Option otherwise would remain exercisable, the Participant engages in any act that would constitute Cause: (A) the Option shall terminate in its entirety and cease to be exercisable immediately upon such termination of Service or act, and (B) any shares of Stock for which the Company has not yet delivered share certificates will be immediately and automatically forfeited and the Company will refund to the Participant the Option exercise price paid for such shares of Stock, if any.

(iv)

Other Termination of Service.  If the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, except Disability, death or Cause, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable for vested shares of Stock on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant at any time prior to the expiration of ninety (90) days after the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date.

(b)

Extension if Exercise Prevented by Law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to compliance with applicable law, including, but not limited to Section 409A other than termination of Service for Cause, if the exercise of an Option within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 6.4(a) is prevented by the provisions of Section 14 below, the Option shall remain exercisable until the later of (i) thirty (30) days after the date such exercise first would no longer be prevented by such provisions or (ii) the end of the applicable time period under Section 6.4(a).

6.5

Transferability of Options .  During the lifetime of the Participant, an Option shall be exercisable only by the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. An Option shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by the Committee, in its discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option, a Non-Qualified Stock Option may be assignable or transferable subject to the applicable limitations, if any, described in the General Instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act, and provided further that no consideration may be received in any transfer. An Incentive Stock Option shall not be assignable or transferable in any manner.

6.6

Certain Options .  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall have discretion, with respect to Non-Qualified Stock Options, to establish an exercise price at less than the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on the date the Option is granted, but only if any such Option is designed to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code by including one of the following provisions:

(a)

The Award Agreement related to any such Option must provide that, under all circumstances, the Stock (or cash or other property) to be received by the Participant (or other



15


person) upon the exercise or settlement of the Option must be so received no later than the 15th day of the third month of the year immediately following the year during which the Option vests;

(b)

The Award Agreement related to any such Option must provide that the Option may be exercised only during a specific year specified in the Award Agreement or upon a payment event permitted under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (with such year(s) and payment events being set forth in the related Award Agreement); or

(c)

The Award Agreement related to any such Option must provide that Stock (or cash or other property) deliverable to a Participant (or other person) pursuant to an exercise or settlement of the Option may not be so delivered until a specified date or payment event permitted under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (with such date(s) and payment events being set forth in the related Award Agreement).

6.7

Substitute Awards .  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article V to the contrary, but subject to the requirements of Sections 409A and 424 of the Code, in the case of an Option that is a Substitute Award, the exercise price per share of the shares of Stock subject to such Option may be less than the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant of the Substitute Award; provided that the excess of: (i) the aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date such Substitute Award is granted) of the shares of Stock subject to the Substitute Award, over (ii) the aggregate exercise price thereof does not exceed the excess of: (x) the aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the time immediately preceding the transaction giving rise to the Substitute Award, such Fair Market Value to be determined by the Committee) of the shares of the predecessor entity that were subject to the grant assumed or substituted for by the Company, over (y) the aggregate exercise price of such shares pursuant to the option of the acquired company or other entity for which the Substitute Award substitutes.

7.

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS .   Stock Appreciation Rights shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of shares of Stock subject to the Award, in such form as the Committee shall from time to time establish. Award Agreements evidencing SARs may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

7.1

Types of SARs Authorized .  SARs may be granted in tandem with all or any portion of a related Option (a  Tandem SAR ) or may be granted independently of any Option (a  Freestanding SAR ). A Tandem SAR may only be granted concurrently with the grant of the related Option.

7.2

Exercise Price .  The exercise price for each SAR shall be established in the discretion of the Committee; provided, however, that (a) the exercise price per share subject to a Tandem SAR shall be the exercise price per share under the related Option and (b) the exercise price per share subject to a Freestanding SAR shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the SAR. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a SAR may be granted with an exercise price lower than the minimum exercise price set forth above if such SAR is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another stock appreciation right in a manner that would qualify under the provisions of Section 409A.

7.3

Exercisability and Term of SARs .

(a)

Tandem SARs.  Tandem SARs shall be exercisable only at the time and to the extent, and only to the extent, that the related Option is exercisable, subject to such provisions as the Committee may specify where the Tandem SAR is granted with respect to less than the full number of



16


shares of Stock subject to the related Option. The Committee may, in its discretion, provide in any Award Agreement evidencing a Tandem SAR that such SAR may not be exercised without the advance approval of the Company and, if such approval is not given, then the Option shall nevertheless remain exercisable in accordance with its terms. A Tandem SAR shall terminate and cease to be exercisable no later than the date on which the related Option expires or is terminated or canceled. Upon the exercise of a Tandem SAR with respect to some or all of the shares subject to such SAR, the related Option shall be canceled automatically as to the number of shares with respect to which the Tandem SAR was exercised. Upon the exercise of an Option related to a Tandem SAR as to some or all of the shares subject to such Option, the related Tandem SAR shall be canceled automatically as to the number of shares with respect to which the related Option was exercised.

(b)

Freestanding SARs.  Freestanding SARs shall be exercisable at such time or times, or upon such event or events, and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria and restrictions as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such SAR; provided, however, that (i) no Freestanding SAR shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years after the effective date of grant of such SAR, and (ii) no Freestanding SAR granted to an Employee who is a non-exempt employee for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, shall be first exercisable until at least six (6) months following the date of grant of such SAR (except in the event of such Employee’s death, Disability, upon a Change in Control, or as otherwise permitted by the Worker Economic Opportunity Act). Subject to the foregoing, unless otherwise specified by the Committee in the grant of a Freestanding SAR, each Freestanding SAR shall terminate ten (10) years after the effective date of grant of the SAR, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its provisions.

7.4

Exercise of SARs .  Upon the exercise (or deemed exercise pursuant to Section 7.5) of an SAR, the Participant (or the Participant’s legal representative or other person who acquired the right to exercise the SAR by reason of the Participant’s death) shall be entitled to receive payment of an amount for each share with respect to which the SAR is exercised equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise of the SAR over the exercise price. Payment of such amount shall be made (a) in the case of a Tandem SAR, in shares of Stock or in an equivalent value in cash in a lump sum upon the date of exercise of the SAR and (b) in the case of a Freestanding SAR, in cash, shares of Stock, or any combination thereof as determined by the Committee, in a lump sum upon the date of exercise of the SAR. When payment is to be made in shares of Stock, the number of shares to be issued shall be determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise of the SAR. For purposes of Section 7, an SAR shall be deemed exercised on the date on which the Company receives notice of exercise from the Participant or as otherwise provided in Section 7.5.

7.5

Deemed Exercise of SARs .  If, on the date on which an SAR would otherwise terminate or expire, the SAR by its terms remains exercisable immediately prior to such termination or expiration and, if so exercised, would result in a payment to the holder of such SAR, then any portion of such SAR which has not previously been exercised shall so terminate or expire or, in the discretion of the Committee be deemed to be exercised as of such date with respect to such portion pursuant to a Net Exercise procedure and withholding of Shares as described in Section 16.2.

7.6

Effect of Termination of Service .  Subject to earlier termination of the SAR as otherwise provided herein and unless otherwise provided by the Committee, an SAR shall be exercisable after a Participant’s termination of Service only to the extent and during the applicable time period determined in accordance with Section 6.4 (treating the SAR as if it were an Option) and thereafter shall terminate.



17


7.7

Transferability of SARs .  During the lifetime of the Participant, an SAR shall be exercisable only by the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. An SAR shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by the Committee, in its discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Award, a Tandem SAR related to a Non-Qualified Stock Option or a Freestanding SAR may be assignable or transferable subject to the applicable limitations, if any, described in the General Instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act, and provided further that no consideration may be received in any transfer.

7.8

Certain SARs .  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall have discretion, with respect to Stock Appreciation Rights, to establish an exercise price at less than the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted, but only if any such Stock Appreciation Right is designed to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code by including one or more of the following provisions:

(a)

The Award Agreement related to any such Stock Appreciation Right must provide that, under all circumstances, the Stock (or cash or other property) to be received by the Participant (or other person) upon the exercise or settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right must be so received no later than the 15th day of the third month of the year immediately following the year during which the Stock Appreciation Right vests;

The Award Agreement related to any such Stock Appreciation Right must provide that Stock (or cash or other property) deliverable to a Participant (or other person) pursuant to an exercise or settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right may not be so delivered until a specified date or payment event permitted under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (with such date(s) and payment events being set forth in the related Award Agreement).

8.

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS .   Restricted Stock Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying whether the Award is a Restricted Stock Bonus or a Restricted Stock Purchase Right and the number of shares of Stock subject to the Award, in such form as the Committee shall from time to time establish. Award Agreements evidencing Restricted Stock Awards may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions.

8.1

Types of Restricted Stock Awards Authorized .  Restricted Stock Awards may be granted in the form of either a Restricted Stock Bonus or a Restricted Stock Purchase Right. Restricted Stock Awards may be granted upon such conditions as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, upon the attainment of one or more Performance Goals described in Section 10.4. If either the grant of or satisfaction of Vesting Conditions applicable to a Restricted Stock Award is to be contingent upon the attainment of one or more Performance Goals, the Committee shall follow procedures substantially equivalent to those set forth in Sections 10.3 through 10.5(a).



18


8.2

Purchase Price .  The purchase price for shares of Stock issuable under each Restricted Stock Purchase Right shall be established by the Committee in its discretion. No monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding) shall be required as a condition of receiving shares of Stock pursuant to a Restricted Stock Bonus, the consideration for which shall be services actually rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by applicable state corporate law, the Participant shall furnish consideration in the form of cash or past services rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit having a value not less than the par value of the shares of Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Award.

8.3

Purchase Period .  A Restricted Stock Purchase Right shall be exercisable within a period established by the Committee, which shall in no event exceed thirty (30) days from the effective date of the grant of the Restricted Stock Purchase Right. Any restricted Stock Purchase Right that allows a Participant to elect the date on which such Right is exercised shall, for all purposes of this Plan, be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option and shall be subject to all of the requirements set forth hereunder with respect to Non-Qualified Stock Options.

8.4

Payment of Purchase Price Except as otherwise provided below, payment of the purchase price for the number of shares of Stock being purchased pursuant to any Restricted Stock Purchase Right shall be made (a) in cash, by check or in cash equivalent, (b) by such other consideration as may be approved by the Committee from time to time to the extent permitted by applicable law, or (c) by any combination thereof.

8.5

Vesting and Restrictions on Transfer .  Shares issued pursuant to any Restricted Stock Award will be made subject to Vesting Conditions based upon the satisfaction of such Service requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance criteria, including, without limitation, Performance Goals as described in Section 10.4, as shall be established by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Award. During any period in which shares acquired pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award remain subject to Vesting Conditions, such shares may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of other than pursuant to a Change in Control or as provided in Section 8.8. The Committee, in its discretion, may provide in any Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted Stock Award that, if the satisfaction of Vesting Conditions with respect to any shares subject to such Restricted Stock Award would otherwise occur on a day on which the sale of such shares would violate the provisions of the Trading Compliance Policy, then satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions automatically shall be determined on the next trading day on which the sale of such shares would not violate the Trading Compliance Policy. Upon request by the Company, each Participant shall execute any agreement evidencing such transfer restrictions prior to the receipt of shares of Stock hereunder and shall promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares of Stock acquired hereunder for the placement on such certificates of appropriate legends evidencing any such transfer restrictions.

8.6

Voting Rights; Dividends and Distributions .  Except as provided in this Section, Section 8.5 and any Award Agreement, during any period in which shares acquired pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award remain subject to Vesting Conditions, the Participant shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding shares of Stock, including the right to vote such shares and to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such shares; provided, however, that such dividends and distributions shall be subject to the same Vesting Conditions as the shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award with respect to which such dividends or distributions were paid, and otherwise shall vest and become nonforfeitable only if the underlying shares of Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Award become vested (including, but not limited to, the satisfaction of any performance related Vesting Conclusion). In the event of a dividend or distribution paid in shares of Stock or other property or any other adjustment made upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section 4.3, any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than



19


regular, periodic cash dividends) to which the Participant is entitled by reason of the Participant’s Restricted Stock Award shall be immediately subject to the same Vesting Conditions as the shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award with respect to which such dividends or distributions were paid or adjustments were made.

8.7

Effect of Termination of Service .  Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted Stock Award, if a Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary (including the Participant’s death or Disability), then (a) the Company shall have the option to repurchase for the purchase price paid by the Participant any shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to a Restricted Stock Purchase Right which remain subject to Vesting Conditions as of the date of the Participant’s termination of Service and (b) the Participant shall forfeit to the Company any shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to a Restricted Stock Bonus which remain subject to Vesting Conditions as of the date of the Participant’s termination of Service. The Company shall have the right to assign at any time any repurchase right it may have, whether or not such right is then exercisable, to one or more persons as may be selected by the Company.

8.8

Nontransferability of Restricted Stock Award Rights .  Rights to acquire shares of Stock pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to a Restricted Stock Award granted to a Participant hereunder shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.

9.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARDS .   Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award, in such form as the Committee shall from time to time establish. Award Agreements evidencing Restricted Stock Units may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

9.1

Grant of Restricted Stock Unit Awards .  Restricted Stock Unit Awards may be granted upon such conditions as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, upon the attainment of one or more Performance Goals described in Section 10.4. If either the grant of a Restricted Stock Unit Award or the Vesting Conditions with respect to such Award is to be contingent upon the attainment of one or more Performance Goals, the Committee shall follow procedures substantially equivalent to those set forth in Sections 10.3 through 10.5(a).

9.2

Purchase Price .  No monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding, if any) shall be required as a condition of receiving a Restricted Stock Unit Award, the consideration for which shall be services actually rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by applicable state corporate law, the Participant shall furnish consideration in the form of cash or past services rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit having a value not less than the par value of the shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit Award.

9.3

Vesting .  Restricted Stock Unit Awards will be made subject to Vesting Conditions based upon the satisfaction of such Service requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance criteria, including, without limitation, Performance Goals as described in Section 10.4, as shall be established by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Award. The Committee, in its discretion, may provide in any Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted Stock Unit Award that, if the satisfaction of Vesting Conditions with respect to any shares subject to the Award would otherwise occur on a day on which the sale of such shares would violate the provisions of the Trading Compliance Policy, then the satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions automatically shall be



20


determined on the first to occur of (a) the next trading day on which the sale of such shares would not violate the Trading Compliance Policy or (b) the later of (i) last day of the calendar year in which the original vesting date occurred or (ii) the last day of the Company’s taxable year in which the original vesting date occurred.

9.4

Voting Rights, Dividend Equivalent Rights and Distributions .  Participants shall have no voting rights with respect to shares of Stock represented by Restricted Stock Units until the date of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). However, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any Restricted Stock Unit Award that the Participant shall be entitled to Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to the payment of cash dividends on Stock during the period beginning on the date such Award is granted and ending, with respect to each share subject to the Award, on the earlier of the date the Award is settled or the date on which it is terminated. Such Dividend Equivalent Rights, if any, shall be paid by crediting the Participant with additional whole Restricted Stock Units as of the date of payment of such cash dividends on Stock. The number of additional Restricted Stock Units (rounded to the nearest whole number) to be so credited shall be determined by dividing (a) the amount of cash dividends paid on such date with respect to the number of shares of Stock represented by the Restricted Stock Units previously credited to the Participant by (b) the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on such date. Such additional Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and shall be settled in the same manner and at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units originally subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award. In the event of a dividend or distribution paid in shares of Stock or other property or any other adjustment made upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section 4.3, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the Participant’s Restricted Stock Unit Award so that it represents the right to receive upon settlement any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than regular, periodic cash dividends) to which the Participant would be entitled by reason of the shares of Stock issuable upon settlement of the Award, and all such new, substituted or additional securities or other property shall be immediately subject to the same Vesting Conditions as are applicable to the Award.

9.5

Effect of Termination of Service .  Unless otherwise provided by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted Stock Unit Award, if a Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary (including the Participant’s death or Disability), then the Participant shall forfeit to the Company any Restricted Stock Units pursuant to the Award which remain subject to Vesting Conditions as of the date of the Participant’s termination of Service.

9.6

Settlement of Restricted Stock Unit Awards .  The Company shall issue to a Participant on the date on which Restricted Stock Units subject to the Participant’s Restricted Stock Unit Award vest or on such other date determined by the Committee, in its discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement one (1) share of Stock (and/or any other new, substituted or additional securities or other property pursuant to an adjustment described in Section 9.4) for each Restricted Stock Unit then becoming vested or otherwise to be settled on such date, subject to the withholding of applicable taxes, if any. If permitted by the Committee, the Participant may elect, consistent with the requirements of Section 409A, to defer receipt of all or any portion of the shares of Stock or other property otherwise issuable to the Participant pursuant to this Section, and such deferred issuance date(s) and amount(s) elected by the Participant shall be set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide for settlement of any Restricted Stock Unit Award by payment to the Participant in cash of an amount equal to the Fair Market Value on the payment date of the shares of Stock or other property otherwise issuable to the Participant pursuant to this Section.



21


9.7

Nontransferability of Restricted Stock Unit Awards .  The right to receive shares pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit Award shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit Award granted to a Participant hereunder shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.

10.

PERFORMANCE AWARDS .   Performance Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements in such form as the Committee shall from time to time establish. Award Agreements evidencing Performance Awards may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the provisions of Code Section 162(m) and the regulations promulgated thereunder in order for such Performance Awards to satisfy the performance-based compensation exception to the deduction limitations set forth under Section 162(m) of the Code and to the following terms and conditions:

10.1

Types of Performance Awards Authorized .  Performance Awards may be granted in the form of either Performance Shares or Performance Units. Each Award Agreement evidencing a Performance Award shall specify the number of Performance Shares or Performance Units subject thereto, the Performance Award Formula, the Performance Goal(s) and Performance Period applicable to the Award, and the other terms, conditions and restrictions of the Award.

10.2

Initial Value of Performance Shares and Performance Units .  Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in granting a Performance Award, each Performance Share shall have an initial monetary value equal to the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3, on the effective date of grant of the Performance Share, and each Performance Unit shall have an initial monetary value established by the Committee at the time of grant. The final value payable to the Participant in settlement of a Performance Award determined on the basis of the applicable Performance Award Formula will depend on the extent to which Performance Goals established by the Committee are attained within the applicable Performance Period established by the Committee.

10.3

Establishment of Performance Period, Performance Goals and Performance Award Formula .  In granting each Performance Award, the Committee shall establish in writing the applicable Performance Period, Performance Award Formula and one or more Performance Goals which, when measured at the end of the Performance Period, shall determine on the basis of the Performance Award Formula the final value of the Performance Award to be paid to the Participant. Unless otherwise permitted in compliance with the requirements under Section 162(m) with respect to each Performance Award intended to result in the payment of Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee shall establish the Performance Goal(s) and Performance Award Formula applicable to each Performance Award no later than the earlier of (a) the date ninety (90) days after the commencement of the applicable Performance Period or (b) the date on which 25% of the Performance Period has elapsed, and, in any event, at a time when the outcome of the Performance Goals remains substantially uncertain. Once established, the Performance Goals and Performance Award Formula applicable to a Covered Employee shall not be changed during the Performance Period. The Company shall notify each Participant granted a Performance Award of the terms of such Award, including the Performance Period, Performance Goal(s) and Performance Award Formula.

10.4

Measurement of Performance Goals .  Performance Goals shall be established by the Committee on the basis of targets to be attained ( Performance Targets ) with respect to one or



22


more measures of business or financial performance (each, a  Performance Measure ), subject to the following:

(a)

Performance Measures.  Performance Measures shall be calculated in accordance with the Company’s financial statements, or, if such terms are not used in the Company’s financial statements, they shall be calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, a method used generally in the Company’s industry, or in accordance with a methodology established by the Committee prior to the grant of the Performance Award. Performance Measures shall be calculated with respect to the Company and each Subsidiary Company consolidated therewith for financial reporting purposes or such division or other business unit as may be selected by the Committee. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee prior to the grant of the Performance Award, the Performance Measures applicable to the Performance Award shall be calculated prior to the accrual of expense for any Performance Award for the same Performance Period and excluding the effect (whether positive or negative) on the Performance Measures of any change in accounting standards or any extraordinary, unusual or nonrecurring item, as determined by the Committee, occurring after the establishment of the Performance Goals applicable to the Performance Award. Each such adjustment, if any, shall be made solely for the purpose of providing a consistent basis from period to period for the calculation of Performance Measures in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the Participant’s rights with respect to a Performance Award. Performance Measures may be one or more of the measures set forth in Appendix A hereto, as determined by the Committee.

(b)

Performance Targets.  Performance Targets may include a minimum, maximum, target level and intermediate levels of performance, with the final value of a Performance Award determined under the applicable Performance Award Formula by the level attained during the applicable Performance Period. A Performance Target may be stated as an absolute value, an increase or decrease in a value, or as a value determined relative to an index, budget or other standard selected by the Committee.

10.5

Settlement of Performance Awards .

(a)

Determination of Final Value.  As soon as practicable following the completion of the Performance Period applicable to a Performance Award, the Committee shall certify in writing the extent to which the applicable Performance Goals have been attained and the resulting final value of the Award earned by the Participant and to be paid upon its settlement in accordance with the applicable Performance Award Formula.

(b)

Discretionary Adjustment of Award Formula.  In its discretion, the Committee may, either at the time it grants a Performance Award or at any time thereafter, provide for the positive or negative adjustment of the Performance Award Formula applicable to a Performance Award granted to any Participant who is not a Covered Employee to reflect such Participant’s individual performance in his or her position with the Company or such other factors as the Committee may determine. Unless prohibited under a Covered Employee’s Award Agreement, the Committee shall have the discretion, on the basis of such criteria as may be established by the Committee, to reduce some or all of the value of the Performance Award that would otherwise be paid to the Covered Employee upon its settlement notwithstanding the attainment of any Performance Goal and the resulting value of the Performance Award determined in accordance with the Performance Award Formula. No such reduction may result in an increase in the amount payable upon settlement of another Participant’s Performance Award that is intended to result in Performance-Based Compensation.

(c)

Effect of Leaves of Absence.  To the extent required by law or a Participant’s Award Agreement, payment of the final value, if any, of a Performance Award held by a



23


Participant who has taken in excess of thirty (30) days in unpaid leaves of absence during a Performance Period shall be prorated on the basis of the number of days of the Participant’s Service during the Performance Period during which the Participant was not on an unpaid leave of absence. Otherwise, the effect of a leave of absence shall be as established by the Committee and/or set forth in an Award Agreement.

(d)

Notice to Participants.  As soon as practicable following the Committee’s determination and certification in accordance with Sections 10.5(a) and (b), the Company shall notify each Participant of the determination of the Committee.

(e)

Payment in Settlement of Performance Awards.  As soon as practicable following the Committee’s determination and certification in accordance with Sections 10.5(a) and (b) but in any event within the Short-Term Deferral Period described in Section 16.1 (except as otherwise provided below or in an Award Agreement, to the extent consistent with the requirements of Section 409A), payment shall be made to each eligible Participant (or such Participant’s legal representative or other person who acquired the right to receive such payment by reason of the Participant’s death) of the final value of the Participant’s Performance Award. Payment of such amount shall be made in cash, shares of Stock, or a combination thereof as determined by the Committee. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement evidencing a Performance Award, payment shall be made in a lump sum. If permitted by the Committee, the Participant may elect, consistent with the requirements of Section 409A, to defer receipt of all or any portion of the payment to be made to the Participant pursuant to this Section, and such deferred payment date(s) elected by the Participant shall be set forth in the Award Agreement. If any payment is to be made on a deferred basis, the Committee may, but shall not be obligated to, provide for the payment during the deferral period of Dividend Equivalent Rights or interest.

(f)

Provisions Applicable to Payment in Shares.  If payment is to be made in shares of Stock, the number of such shares shall be determined by dividing the final value of the Performance Award by the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock determined by the method specified in the Award Agreement. Shares of Stock issued in payment of any Performance Award may be fully vested and freely transferable shares or may be shares of Stock subject to Vesting Conditions as provided in Section 8.5. Any shares subject to Vesting Conditions shall be evidenced by an appropriate Award Agreement and shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 8.5 through 8.8 above.

10.6

Voting Rights; Dividend Equivalent Rights and Distributions .  Participants shall have no voting rights with respect to shares of Stock represented by Performance Share Awards until the date of the issuance of such shares, if any (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). However, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any Performance Share Award that the Participant shall be entitled to Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to the payment of cash dividends on Stock during the period beginning on the date the Award is granted and ending, with respect to each share subject to the Award, on the earlier of the date on which the Performance Shares are settled or the date on which they are forfeited. Such Dividend Equivalent Rights, if any, shall be credited to the Participant in the form of additional whole Performance Shares as of the date of payment of such cash dividends on Stock. The number of additional Performance Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) to be so credited shall be determined by dividing (a) the amount of cash dividends paid on the dividend payment date with respect to the number of shares of Stock represented by the Performance Shares previously credited to the Participant by (b) the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on such date. Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be accumulated and paid to the extent that Performance Shares become nonforfeitable, as determined by the Committee. Settlement of Dividend Equivalent Rights may be made in cash, shares of Stock, or a combination thereof as determined by the Committee, and may be paid on the same basis as settlement of the related Performance Share as provided in Section 10.5. In the event of



24


a dividend or distribution paid in shares of Stock or other property or any other adjustment made upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section 4.3, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the Participant’s Performance Share Award so that it represents the right to receive upon settlement any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than regular, periodic cash dividends) to which the Participant would be entitled by reason of the shares of Stock issuable upon settlement of the Performance Share Award, and all such new, substituted or additional securities or other property shall be immediately subject to the same Performance Goals as are applicable to the Award.

10.7

Effect of Termination of Service .  Unless otherwise provided by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing a Performance Award or in the Participant’s employment agreement, if any, referencing such Awards, the effect of a Participant’s termination of Service on the Performance Award shall be as follows:

(a)

Disability.  If the Participant’s Service terminates because of the Disability of the Participant before the completion of the Performance Period applicable to the Performance Award, the final value of the Participant’s Performance Award shall be determined by the extent to which the applicable Performance Goals have been attained with respect to the entire Performance Period and shall be prorated based on the number of months of the Participant’s Service during the Performance Period. Payment shall be made following the end of the Performance Period in any manner permitted by Section 10.5.

(b)

Death .  If the Participant’s Service terminates due to death before the completion of a Performance Period applicable to the Performance Award, the Award shall vest in full based the target level of performance and shall be paid as soon as practicable following the Participant’s death, but only if such payment based on target level (irrespective of actual performance) would not cause the Performance Award to otherwise violate the performance-based compensation provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder).

(c)

Other Termination of Service.  If the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason except death or Disability before the completion of the Performance Period applicable to the Performance Award, such Award shall be forfeited in its entirety.

10.8

Nontransferability of Performance Awards .  Prior to settlement in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, no Performance Award shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to a Performance Award granted to a Participant hereunder shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.

11.

OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS .   Other Stock-Based Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements in such form as the Committee shall from time to time establish. Award Agreements evidencing Other Stock-Based Awards may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

11.1

Grant of Other Stock-Based Awards . The Committee may grant other types of equity-based or equity-related Awards not otherwise described by the terms of this Plan (including the grant or offer for sale of unrestricted securities, stock-equivalent units, stock appreciation units, securities or debentures convertible into common stock or other forms determined by the Committee) in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. Other Stock-Based



25


Awards may be made available as a form of payment in the settlement of other Awards or as payment in lieu of compensation to which a Participant is otherwise entitled. Other Stock-Based Awards may involve the transfer of actual shares of Stock to Participants, or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts based on the value of Stock and may include, without limitation, Awards designed to comply with or take advantage of the applicable local laws of jurisdictions other than the United States.

11.2

Value of Other Stock-Based Awards .  Each Other Stock-Based Award shall be expressed in terms of shares of Stock or units based on such shares of Stock, as determined by the Committee. The Committee may require the satisfaction of such Service requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance criteria, including, without limitation, Performance Goals as described in Section 10.4, as shall be established by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Award. If the Committee exercises its discretion to establish performance criteria, the final value of Other Stock-Based Awards that will be paid to the Participant will depend on the extent to which the performance criteria are met. The establishment of performance criteria with respect to the grant or vesting of any Other Stock-Based Award intended to result in Performance-Based Compensation shall follow procedures substantially equivalent to those applicable to Performance Awards set forth in Section 10.

11.3

Payment or Settlement of Other Stock-Based Awards . Payment or settlement, if any, with respect to an Other Stock-Based Award shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Award, in cash, shares of Stock or other securities or any combination thereof as the Committee determines. The determination and certification of the final value with respect to any Other Stock-Based Award intended to result in Performance-Based Compensation shall comply with the requirements applicable to Performance Awards set forth in Section 10. To the extent applicable, payment or settlement with respect to each Other Stock-Based Award shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A.

11.4

Voting Rights; Dividend Equivalent Rights and Distributions .  Participants shall have no voting rights with respect to shares of Stock represented by Other Stock-Based Awards until the date of the issuance of such shares of Stock (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), if any, in settlement of such Award. However, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any Other Stock-Based Award that the Participant shall be entitled to Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to the payment of cash dividends on Stock during the period beginning on the date such Award is granted and ending, with respect to each share subject to the Award, on the earlier of the date the Award is settled or the date on which it is terminated. Such Dividend Equivalent Rights, if any, shall be paid in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 9.4. In the event of a dividend or distribution paid in shares of Stock or other property or any other adjustment made upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section 4.3, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the Participant’s Other Stock-Based Award so that it represents the right to receive upon settlement any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than regular, periodic cash dividends) to which the Participant would be entitled by reason of the shares of Stock issuable upon settlement of such Award, and all such new, substituted or additional securities or other property shall be immediately subject to the same Vesting Conditions and performance criteria, if any, as are applicable to the Award.

11.5

Effect of Termination of Service . Each Award Agreement evidencing an Other Stock-Based Award shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to retain such Award following termination of the Participant’s Service. Such provisions shall be determined in the discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Other Stock-Based Awards, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination, subject to the requirements of Section 409A, if applicable.



26


11.6

Nontransferability of Other Stock-Based Awards Prior to the payment or settlement of an Other Stock-Based Award, the Award shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The Committee may impose such additional restrictions on any shares of Stock issued in settlement of Other Stock-Based Awards as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, minimum holding period requirements, restrictions under applicable federal securities laws, under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such shares of Stock are then listed and/or traded, or under any state securities laws or foreign law applicable to such shares of Stock.

12.

STANDARD FORMS OF AWARD AGREEMENT .

12.1

Award Agreements .  Each Award shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the appropriate form of Award Agreement approved by the Committee and as amended from time to time. No Award or purported Award shall be a valid and binding obligation of the Company unless evidenced by a fully executed Award Agreement, which execution may be evidenced by electronic means.

12.2

Authority to Vary Terms .  Subject to the provisions of Sections 162(m), 409A and 422 of the Code, and of other Applicable Law, the Committee shall have the authority from time to time to vary the terms of any standard form of Award Agreement either in connection with the grant or amendment of an individual Award or in connection with the authorization of a new standard form or forms; provided, however, that the terms and conditions of any such new, revised or amended standard form or forms of Award Agreement are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan.

(a)

Assumption, Continuation or Substitution.  In the event of a Change in Control, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation or other business entity or parent thereof, as the case may be (the  Acquiror ), may, without the consent of any Participant, assume or continue the Company’s rights and obligations under each or any Award or portion thereof outstanding immediately prior to the Change in Control or substitute for each or any such outstanding Award or portion thereof a substantially equivalent award with respect to the Acquiror’s stock, as applicable. For purposes of this Section, if so determined by the Committee in its discretion, an Award denominated in shares of Stock shall be deemed assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to receive, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, for each share of Stock subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, other securities or property or a combination thereof) to which a holder of a share of Stock on the effective date of the Change in Control was entitled (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Stock); provided, however, that if such consideration is not solely common stock of the Acquiror, the Committee may, with the consent of the Acquiror, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise or settlement of the Award, for each share of Stock subject to the Award, to consist solely of common stock of the Acquiror equal in Fair Market Value to the per share consideration received by holders of Stock pursuant to the Change in Control. Any Award which is not assumed, substituted for or otherwise continued by the Acquiror shall vest in full effective and contingent upon the consummation of the Change in Control. Any Award or portion thereof which is not assumed, substituted for, or otherwise



27


continued by the Acquiror in connection with the Change in Control nor exercised or settled as of the time of consummation of the Change in Control shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the time of consummation of the Change in Control.

(b)

Cash-Out of Outstanding Stock-Based Awards.  The Committee may, in its discretion and without the consent of any Participant, determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each or any Award denominated in shares of Stock or portion thereof outstanding immediately prior to the Change in Control and not previously exercised or settled shall be canceled in exchange for a payment with respect to each vested share (and each unvested share, if so determined by the Committee) of Stock subject to such canceled Award in (i) cash, (ii) stock of the Company or of a corporation or other business entity a party to the Change in Control, or (iii) other property which, in any such case, shall be in an amount having a Fair Market Value equal to the Fair Market Value of the consideration to be paid per share of Stock in the Change in Control, reduced (but not below zero) by the exercise or purchase price per share, if any, under such Award. In the event such determination is made by the Committee, an Award having an exercise or purchase price per share equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of the consideration to be paid per share of Stock in the Change in Control may be canceled without payment of consideration to the holder thereof. Payment pursuant to this Section (reduced by applicable withholding taxes, if any) shall be made to Participants in respect of the vested portions of their canceled Awards as soon as practicable following the date of the Change in Control and in respect of the unvested portions of their canceled Awards in accordance with the vesting schedules applicable to such Awards.

(c)

Accelerated Vesting.  In its discretion, the Committee may provide in the grant of any Award or at any other time may take such action as it deems appropriate to provide for acceleration of the exercisability, vesting and/or settlement in connection with a Change in Control of each or any outstanding Award or portion thereof and shares acquired pursuant thereto upon such conditions, including termination of the Participant’s Service prior to, upon, or following such Change in Control, and to such extent as the Committee shall determine.

13.2

Effect of Change in Control on Nonemployee Director Awards .  Subject to the requirements and limitations of Section 409A, if applicable, including as provided by Section 16.4(f), in the event of a Change in Control, each outstanding Nonemployee Director Award shall become immediately exercisable and vested in full to the extent the Nonemployee Director will cease to be a member of the Board of the surviving entity in connection with the Change in Control and, except to the extent assumed, continued, or substituted for pursuant to Section 13.1(b), shall be settled effective immediately prior to the time of consummation of the Change in Control.

13.3

Federal Excise Tax Under Section 4999 of the Code .

(a)

Excess Parachute Payment.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan to the contrary, if the receipt of any payments or benefits under this Plan would subject a Participant to tax under Code Section 4999, the Committee may determine whether some amount of payments or benefits would meet the definition of a “Reduced Amount.” If the Committee determines that there is a Reduced Amount, the total payments or benefits to the Participant under all Awards must be reduced to such Reduced Amount, but not below zero. It is the intention of the Company and any such Participant to reduce the payments under this Plan only if the aggregate “Net After Tax Receipts” to such Participant would thereby be increased. If the Committee determines that the benefits and payments must be reduced to the Reduced Amount, the Company must promptly notify such Participant of that determination, with a copy of the detailed calculations by the Committee. All determinations of the Committee under this Section 13.3(a) shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Company and any such Participant. As result of the uncertainty in the application of Code Section 4999 at the time of the initial determination by the Committee under this Section 13.3(a), however, it is possible that amounts



28


will have been paid under the Plan to or for the benefit of a Participant which should not have been so paid (“Overpayment”) or that additional amounts which will not have been paid under the Plan to or for the benefit of a Participant could have been so paid (“Underpayment”), in each case consistent with the calculation of the Reduced Amount. If the Committee, based either upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against the Company or a Participant, which the Committee believes has a high probability of success, or controlling precedent or other substantial authority, determines that an Overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment must be treated for all purposes as a loan, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, which such Participant must repay to the Company together with interest at the applicable federal rate under Code Section 7872(f)(2); provided, however, that no such loan may be deemed to have been made and no amount shall be payable by a Participant to the Company if and to the extent such deemed loan and payment would not either reduce the amount on which the Participant is subject to tax under Code Sections 1, 3101 or 4999 or generate a refund of such taxes. If the Committee, based upon controlling precedent or other substantial authority, determines that an Underpayment has occurred, the Committee must promptly notify the Company of the amount of the Underpayment, which then shall be paid promptly to the Participant but no later than the end of the Participant's taxable year next following the Participant’s taxable year in which the determination is made that the Underpayment has occurred. For purposes of this Section 13.3(a), (i) “Net After Tax Receipts” means the Present Value of a payment under this Plan net of all taxes imposed on Participant with respect thereto under Code Sections 1, 3101 and 4999, determined by applying the highest marginal rate under Code Section 1 which applies to the Participant's taxable income for the applicable taxable year; (ii) “Present Value” means the value determined in accordance with Code Section 280G(d)(4); and (iii) “Reduced Amount” means the smallest aggregate amount of all payments and benefits under this Plan which (x) is less than the sum of all payments and benefits under this Plan and (y) results in aggregate Net After Tax Receipts which are equal to or greater than the Net After Tax Receipts which would result if the aggregate payments and benefits under this Plan were any other amount less than the sum of all payments and benefits to be made under this Plan. If any payment or benefit is reduced under this Section 13.3(a), such reduction shall be made in the following order: (i) first, any future cash payments (if any) shall be reduced (if necessary, to zero); (ii) second, any current cash payments shall be reduced (if necessary, to zero); (iii) third, all non-cash payments (other than equity or equity derivative related payments) shall be reduced (if necessary, to zero); and (iv) fourth, all equity or equity derivative payments shall be reduced. Any necessary reduction in each subcategory shall first be applied to the latest scheduled payment in such subcategory and shall continue to the extent necessary until the most current payment is reduced or eliminated.

(b)

Determination by Independent Accountants.  To aid the Participant in making any election called for under Section 13.3(a), no later than the date of the occurrence of any event that might reasonably be anticipated to result in an “excess parachute payment” to the Participant as described in Section 13.3(a), the Company shall request a determination in writing by independent public accountants selected by the Company (the  Accountants ). As soon as practicable thereafter, the Accountants shall determine and report to the Company and the Participant the amount of such acceleration of vesting, payments and benefits which would produce the greatest after-tax benefit to the Participant. For the purposes of such determination, the Accountants may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Participant shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make their required determination. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses the Accountants charge in connection with their services contemplated by this Section.

14.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAW .   The grant of Awards and the issuance of shares of Stock pursuant to any Award shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state and foreign law with respect to such securities and the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. In addition, no Award may be exercised or shares issued



29


pursuant to an Award unless (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act shall at the time of such exercise or issuance be in effect with respect to the shares issuable pursuant to the Award, or (b) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares issuable pursuant to the Award may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares under the Plan shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to issuance of any Stock, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

15.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A .

15.1

Awards Subject to Section 409A .  The Company intends that Awards granted pursuant to the Plan shall either be exempt from or comply with Section 409A, and the Plan shall be so construed. The provisions of this Section 15 shall apply to any Award or portion thereof that constitutes or provides for payment of Section 409A Deferred Compensation. Such Awards may include, without limitation:

(a)

A Non-Qualified Stock Option or SAR that includes any feature for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of recognition of income until the later of (i) the exercise or disposition of the Award or (ii) the time the stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Award first becomes substantially vested.

(b)

Any Restricted Stock Unit Award, Performance Award or Other Stock-Based Award that either (i) provides by its terms for settlement of all or any portion of the Award at a time or upon an event that will or may occur later than the end of the Short-Term Deferral Period (as defined below) or (ii) permits the Participant granted the Award to elect one or more dates or events upon which the Award will be settled after the end of the Short-Term Deferral Period.

Subject to the provisions of Section 409A, the term “ Short-Term Deferral Period  means the 2½ month period ending on the later of (i) the 15th day of the third month following the end of the Participant’s taxable year in which the right to payment under the applicable portion of the Award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture or (ii) the 15th day of the third month following the end of the Company’s taxable year in which the right to payment under the applicable portion of the Award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. For this purpose, the term “substantial risk of forfeiture” shall have the meaning provided by Section 409A.

15.2

Deferral and/or Distribution Elections .  Except as otherwise permitted or required by Section 409A, the following rules shall apply to any compensation deferral and/or payment elections (each, an “ Election ”) that may be permitted or required by the Committee pursuant to an Award providing Section 409A Deferred Compensation:

(a)

Elections must be in writing and specify the amount of the payment in settlement of an Award being deferred, as well as the time and form of payment as permitted by this Plan.

(b)

Elections shall be made by the end of the Participant’s taxable year prior to the year in which services commence for which an Award may be granted to such Participant.



30


(c)

Elections shall continue in effect until a written revocation or change in Election is received by the Company, except that a written revocation or change in Election must be received by the Company prior to the last day for making the Election determined in accordance with paragraph (b) above or as permitted by Section 16.3.

15.3

Subsequent Elections .  Except as otherwise permitted or required by Section 409A, any Award providing Section 409A Deferred Compensation which permits a subsequent Election to delay the payment or change the form of payment in settlement of such Award shall comply with the following requirements:

(a)

No subsequent Election may take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the subsequent Election is made.

(b)

Each subsequent Election related to a payment in settlement of an Award not described in Section 16.4(a)(ii), 16.4(a)(iii) or 16.4(a)(vi) must result in a delay of the payment for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date on which such payment would otherwise have been made.

(c)

No subsequent Election related to a payment pursuant to Section 16.4(a)(iv) shall be made less than twelve (12) months before the date on which such payment would otherwise have been made.

(d)

subsequent Elections shall continue in effect until a written revocation or change in the subsequent Election is received by the Company, except that a written revocation or change in a subsequent Election must be received by the Company prior to the last day for making the subsequent Election determined in accordance the preceding paragraphs of this Section 16.3.

15.4

Payment of Section 409A Deferred Compensation .

(a)

Permissible Payments.  Except as otherwise permitted or required by Section 409A, an Award providing Section 409A Deferred Compensation must provide for payment in settlement of the Award only upon one or more of the following:

(i)

The Participant’s “separation from service” (as defined by Section 409A);

(ii)

The Participant’s becoming “disabled” (as defined by Section 409A);

(iii)

The Participant’s death;

(iv)

A time or fixed schedule that is either (i) specified by the Committee upon the grant of an Award and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Award or (ii) specified by the Participant in an Election complying with the requirements of Section 16.2 or 16.3, as applicable;

(v)

A change in the ownership or effective control or the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company determined in accordance with Section 409A;



31


(vi)

The occurrence of an “unforeseeable emergency” (as defined by Section 409A); or

(vii)

Vesting of the Award.

(b)

Installment Payments . It is the intent of this Plan that any right of a Participant to receive installment payments (within the meaning of Section 409A) shall, for all purposes of Section 409A, be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.

(c)

Required Delay in Payment to Specified Employee Pursuant to Separation from Service.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, except as otherwise permitted by Section 409A, no payment pursuant to Section 16.4(a)(i) in settlement of an Award providing for Section 409A Deferred Compensation may be made to a Participant who is a “specified employee” (as defined by Section 409A) as of the date of the Participant’s separation from service before the date (the  Delayed Payment Date ) that is six (6) months after the date of such Participant’s separation from service, or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death. All such amounts that would, but for this paragraph, become payable prior to the Delayed Payment Date shall be accumulated and paid on the Delayed Payment Date.

(d)

Payment Upon Disability.  All distributions of Section 409A Deferred Compensation payable by reason of a Participant becoming disabled shall be paid in a lump sum or in periodic installments as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement or as otherwise established by the Participant’s Election. Except as may be provided in the applicable Award Agreement, if the Participant has made no Election with respect to distributions of Section 409A Deferred Compensation upon becoming disabled, all such distributions shall be paid in a lump sum upon the determination that the Participant has become disabled.

(e)

Payment Upon Death .  If a Participant dies before complete distribution of amounts payable upon settlement of an Award subject to Section 409A, such undistributed amounts shall be distributed to his or her beneficiary under the distribution method for death established by the applicable Award Agreement or Participant’s Election upon receipt by the Committee of satisfactory notice and confirmation of the Participant’s death. Except as provided in the applicable Award Agreement, if the Participant has made no Election with respect to distributions of Section 409A Deferred Compensation upon death, all such distributions shall be paid in a lump sum upon receipt by the Committee of satisfactory notice and confirmation of the Participant’s death.

(f)

Payment Upon Change in Control.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any amount constituting Section 409A Deferred Compensation would become payable under this Plan by reason of a Change in Control, such amount shall become payable only if the event constituting a Change in Control would also constitute a change in ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A. Except as may be permitted under Section 162(m) and the regulations promulgated thereunder, any Award which constitutes Section 409A Deferred Compensation and which would vest and otherwise become payable upon a Change in Control as a result of the failure of the Acquiror to assume, continue or substitute for such Award in accordance with Section 13.1(b) shall vest to the extent provided by such Award but shall be converted automatically at the effective time of such Change in Control into a right to receive, in cash on the date or dates such award would have been settled in accordance with its then existing settlement schedule (or as required by Section 16.4(c)), an amount or amounts equal in the aggregate to the intrinsic value of the Award at the time of the Change in Control.



32


(g)

Payment Upon Unforeseeable Emergency.  The Committee shall have the authority to provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any Award providing for Section 409A Deferred Compensation for payment in settlement of all or a portion of such Award in the event that a Participant establishes, to the satisfaction of the Committee, the occurrence of an unforeseeable emergency. In such event, the amount(s) distributed with respect to such unforeseeable emergency cannot exceed the amounts reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of such distribution(s), after taking into account the extent to which such emergency need is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship) or by cessation of deferrals under the Award. All distributions with respect to an unforeseeable emergency shall be made in a lump sum upon the Committee’s determination that an unforeseeable emergency has occurred. The Committee’s decision with respect to whether an unforeseeable emergency has occurred and the manner in which, if at all, the payment in settlement of an Award shall be altered or modified, shall be final, conclusive, and not subject to approval or appeal.

(h)

Prohibition of Acceleration of Payments.   Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, this Plan does not permit the acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment under an Award providing Section 409A Deferred Compensation, except as permitted by Section 409A.

(i)

Payment During Certain Period . To the extent the Plan provides that Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation can be paid, at the discretion of the Committee, during a certain period (e.g., 60 days) following a permissible payment event or trigger, and if the payment period spans two taxable years of a Participant, then such Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation shall be paid during the second of such taxable years.

(j)

No Representation Regarding Section 409A Compliance . Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company makes no representation that Awards shall be exempt from or comply with Section 409A. No Participating Company shall be liable for any tax, penalty or interest imposed on a Participant by reason of any violation of Section 409A, regardless of the cause of such violation.

16.

TAX WITHHOLDING .

16.1

Tax Withholding in General .  The Company shall have the right to deduct from any and all payments made under the Plan, or to require the Participant, through payroll withholding, cash payment or otherwise, to make adequate provision for, the federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including social insurance), if any, required by law to be withheld by any Participating Company with respect to an Award or the shares acquired pursuant thereto. The Company shall have no obligation to deliver shares of Stock, to release shares of Stock from an escrow established pursuant to an Award Agreement, or to make any payment in cash under the Plan until the Participating Company Group’s tax withholding obligations have been satisfied by the Participant.

16.2

Withholding in or Directed Sale of Shares .  The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deduct from the shares of Stock issuable to a Participant upon the exercise or settlement of an Award, or to accept from the Participant the tender of, a number of whole shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Company, equal to all or any part of the tax withholding obligations of any Participating Company. The Fair Market Value of any shares of Stock withheld or tendered to satisfy any such tax withholding obligations shall not exceed the amount determined by the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates. The Company may require a



33


Participant to direct a broker, upon the vesting, exercise or settlement of an Award, to sell a portion of the shares subject to the Award determined by the Company in its discretion to be sufficient to cover the tax withholding obligations of any Participating Company and to remit an amount equal to such tax withholding obligations to such Participating Company in cash.

17.

AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF PLAN .   The Committee may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. However, without the approval of the Company’s stockholders, there shall be (a) no increase in the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan (except by operation of the provisions of Section 4.3), (b) no change in the class of persons eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options and (c) no other amendment of the Plan that would require approval of the Company’s stockholders under any applicable law, regulation or rule, including the rules of any stock exchange or quotation system upon which the Stock may then be listed or quoted. No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall affect any then outstanding Award unless expressly provided by the Committee. Except as provided by the next sentence, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan may adversely affect any then outstanding Award without the consent of the Participant. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without the consent of any Participant, amend the Plan or any Award Agreement, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as it deems necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming the Plan or such Award Agreement to any present or future law, regulation or rule applicable to the Plan, including, but not limited to, Section 409A.

18.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS .

18.1

Repurchase Rights .  Shares issued under the Plan may be subject to one or more repurchase options, or other conditions and restrictions as determined by the Committee in its discretion at the time the Award is granted. The Company shall have the right to assign at any time any repurchase right it may have, whether or not such right is then exercisable, to one or more persons as may be selected by the Company. Upon request by the Company, each Participant shall execute any agreement evidencing such transfer restrictions prior to the receipt of shares of Stock hereunder and shall promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares of Stock acquired hereunder for the placement on such certificates of appropriate legends evidencing any such transfer restrictions.

18.2

Forfeiture Events .

(a)

The Committee may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments, and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment upon the occurrence of specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events may include, but shall not be limited to, termination of Service for Cause or any act by a Participant, whether before or after termination of Service, that would constitute Cause for termination of Service.

(b)

If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, any Participant who knowingly or through gross negligence engaged in the misconduct, or who knowingly or through gross negligence failed to prevent the misconduct, and any Participant who is one of the individuals subject to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, shall reimburse the Company for (i) the amount of any payment in settlement of an Award received by such Participant during the twelve- (12-) month period following the first public issuance or filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (whichever first occurred) of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement, and (ii) any profits realized by such Participant from the sale of securities of the Company during such



34


twelve- (12-) month period. In addition, to the extent claw-back or similar provisions applicable to Awards are required by applicable law, listing standards and/or policies adopted by the Company, Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to such provisions.

18.3

Provision of Information .  Each Participant shall be given access to information concerning the Company equivalent to that information generally made available to the Company’s common stockholders.

18.4

Rights as Employee, Consultant or Director .  No person, even though eligible pursuant to Section 5, shall have a right to be selected as a Participant, or, having been so selected, to be selected again as a Participant. Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan shall confer on any Participant a right to remain an Employee, Consultant or Director or interfere with or limit in any way any right of a Participating Company to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time. To the extent that an Employee of a Participating Company other than the Company receives an Award under the Plan, that Award shall in no event be understood or interpreted to mean that the Company is the Employee’s employer or that the Employee has an employment relationship with the Company.

18.5

Rights as a Stockholder .  A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by an Award until the date of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such shares are issued, except as provided in Section 4.3 or another provision of the Plan.

18.6

Delivery of Title to Shares .  Subject to any governing rules or regulations, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued the shares of Stock acquired pursuant to an Award and shall deliver such shares to or for the benefit of the Participant by means of one or more of the following: (a) by delivering to the Participant evidence of book entry shares of Stock credited to the account of the Participant, (b) by depositing such shares of Stock for the benefit of the Participant with any broker with which the Participant has an account relationship, or (c) by delivering such shares of Stock to the Participant in certificate form.

18.7

Fractional Shares .  The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the exercise or settlement of any Award.

18.8

Retirement and Welfare Plans . Neither Awards made under this Plan nor shares of Stock or cash paid pursuant to such Awards may be included as “compensation” for purposes of computing the benefits payable to any Participant under any Participating Company’s retirement plans (both qualified and non-qualified) or welfare benefit plans unless such other plan expressly provides that such compensation shall be taken into account in computing a Participant’s benefit. In addition, unless a written employment agreement or other service agreement references Awards, a general reference to “benefits” in such agreement shall not be deemed to refer to Awards granted hereunder.

18.9

Severability . If any one or more of the provisions (or any part thereof) of this Plan shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be modified so as to make it valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions (or any part thereof) of the Plan shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

18.10

No Constraint on Corporate Action Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to: (a) limit, impair, or otherwise affect the Company’s or another Participating Company’s right or power to



35


make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure, or to merge or consolidate, or dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets; or (b) limit the right or power of the Company or another Participating Company to take any action which such entity deems to be necessary or appropriate.

18.11

Unfunded Obligation .  Participants shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Company. Any amounts payable to Participants pursuant to the Plan shall be considered unfunded and unsecured obligations for all purposes, including, without limitation, Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. No Participating Company shall be required to segregate any monies from its general funds, or to create any trusts, or establish any special accounts with respect to such obligations. The Company shall retain at all times beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which the Company may make to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder. Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any trust or any Participant account shall not create or constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Committee or any Participating Company and a Participant, or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Participant or the Participant’s creditors in any assets of any Participating Company. The Participants shall have no claim against any Participating Company for any changes in the value of any assets which may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the Plan.

18.12

Choice of Law .  Except to the extent governed by applicable federal law, the validity, interpretation, construction and performance of the Plan and each Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law rules. In the event that any person is compelled to bring a claim related to this Plan, to interpret or enforce the provisions of the Plan, to recover damages as a result of a breach of the terms of this Plan, or from any other cause (a “Claim”), such Claim must be processed in the manner set forth below:

(a)

THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE METHOD TO RESOLVE ANY CLAIM IS ARBITRATION, AND THE CORPORATION AND EACH PARTICIPANT (INCLUDING FORMER PARTICIPANTS, BENEFICIARIES OF PARTICIPANTS OR OF FORMER PARTICIPANTS OR PERSONS ACTING FOR OR NON BEHALF THEREOF) WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR COURT TRIAL. No Participant shall initiate or prosecute any lawsuit in any way related to any Claim covered by the terms of this Plan.

(b)

Any arbitration shall be binding and conducted before a single arbitrator in accordance with the then-current JAMS Arbitration Rules and Procedures for Employment Disputes or the appropriate governing body, as modified by the terms and conditions of this paragraph. Venue for any arbitration pursuant to this Plan will lie in the locality of the principal executive offices of the Company. The arbitrator will be selected by mutual agreement of the parties to such arbitration or, if the parties cannot agree, then by striking from a list of arbitrators supplied by JAMS or the appropriate governing body. The parties to the arbitration shall each pay an equal amount of the arbitrator’s fees and arbitration costs (recognizing that each party to the arbitration bears the cost of its own deposition(s), witness, expert and attorneys’ fees and other expenses as and to the same extent as if the matter were being heard in a court of law). Upon the conclusion of the arbitration hearing, the arbitrator shall issue a written opinion revealing, however briefly, the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator’s award is based. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding. Judgment upon any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

18.13

Investment Representation .  In the case of Awards paid in shares of Stock or other securities, or, with respect to shares of Stock received pursuant to the exercise of an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right, or upon the payment upon any Award, the Committee may require, as a condition of receiving such securities, that the Participant furnish to the Company such written



36


representations and information as the Committee deems appropriate to permit the Company, in light of the existence or nonexistence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, to deliver such securities in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act.

18.14

Payments Due Missing Persons .  The Company shall make a reasonable effort to locate all persons entitled to benefits under the Plan other than Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (the “Benefits”); however, notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, if, after a period of one (1) year from the date such Benefits shall be due, any such persons entitled to Benefits have not been located, their rights under the Plan with respect to such Benefits shall stand suspended. Before this provision becomes operative, the Company shall send a certified letter to all such persons at their last known addresses advising them that their rights under the Plan shall be suspended. Subject to all applicable state laws, any such suspended Benefits shall be held by the Company for a period of one (1) additional year and thereafter such Benefits shall be forfeited and thereafter remain the property of the Company.

18.15

Incapacity .  If the Committee shall receive evidence satisfactory to it that a person entitled to receive payment of, or exercise, any Award is, at the time when such benefit becomes payable or exercisable, a minor, or is physically or mentally incompetent to receive or exercise such Award and to give a valid release thereof, and that another person or an institution is then maintaining or has custody of such person and that no guardian, committee or other representative of the estate of such person shall have been duly appointed, the Committee may make payment of such Award otherwise payable to such person to (or permit such Award to be exercised by) such other person or institution, including a custodian under a Uniform Gifts to Minors Act or corresponding legislation (who shall be an adult, a guardian of the minor or a trust company), and the release by such other person or institution shall be a valid and complete discharge for the payment or exercise of such Award.

18.16

Cooperation of Parties .  The Company, each Participant and any person claiming any interest hereunder agree to perform any and all acts and execute any and all documents and papers which are necessary or desirable for carrying out the Plan or any of its provisions.

18.17

Listing, Registration, Etc .  All shares of Stock issued pursuant to the terms of this Plan will be subject to the requirement that if at any time the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that it is necessary or desirable to list, register or qualify upon any national securities exchange or under any state or federal securities or other law or regulation, such shares of Stock, or that it is necessary or desirable to obtain the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, as a condition to or in connection with the issuance hereunder of Stock, the Stock may not be issued unless or until the listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board. The recipient of any shares of Stock must supply the Company with any certificates, representations and information as the Company reasonably requests, and must otherwise cooperate with the Company in obtaining or effecting any listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval the Board deems necessary or desirable. If the Company, as part of an offering of securities or otherwise, finds it desirable because of federal or state regulatory requirements to reduce the period during which any shares of Stock vest, the Board may, in its sole discretion and without the holders’ consent, reduce that period on not less than 10 days’ written notice to the holders affected. Nothing contained herein will obligate the Company to list, register or qualify any shares of Stock or other securities upon any national securities exchange or otherwise or under any federal or state securities laws.

18.18

Lock-up Agreement .  Each recipient of a Award hereunder agrees, in connection with any registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of the public sale of the Company’s Stock, not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company, including any Awards, (other than



37


those included in the registration) without the prior written consent of the Company or the underwriters of such public offer or sale, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed 180 days) from the effective date of such registration as the Company or the underwriters, as the case may be, shall specify. Each such recipient agrees that the Company may instruct its transfer agent to place stop-transfer notations in its records to enforce this Section XI(u). Each such recipient agrees to execute such form of agreement reflecting the foregoing restrictions and such other restrictions as requested by the underwriters managing such offering.

18.19

Paperless Administration .  In the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the documentation, granting or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless documentation, granting or exercise of Awards by a Participant may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.

18.20

Compliance with Laws .  The Plan, the granting and vesting of Awards under the Plan and the issuance and delivery of shares of Stock and the payment of money under the Plan or under Awards granted or awarded hereunder are subject to compliance with all Applicable Laws (including but not limited to margin requirements), and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Any securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such restrictions, and the person acquiring such securities shall, if requested by the Company, provide such assurances and representations to the Company as the Company may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all Applicable Laws. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to Applicable Law.

18.21

Securities Law and Other Regulator/Compliance .  An Award will not be effective unless such Award is in compliance with all applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws, rules and regulations of any governmental body, and the requirements of any national stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the shares of Stock granted under such Award may then be listed or quoted, as they are in effect on the date of grant of the Award on the date of exercise or other issuance or any other date while the Award is outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, the Company will have no obligation to issue or deliver certificates for shares of Stock under this Plan prior to: (i) obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company determines are necessary or advisable; and/or (ii) completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares of Stock under any state, federal or foreign law or ruling of any governmental body that the Company determines to be necessary or advisable. The Company will be under no obligation to register the shares of Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission or to effect compliance with the registration, qualification or listing requirements of any state securities laws, national stock exchange or automated quotation system, and the Company will have no liability for any inability or failure to do so. As a condition to the grant of any Award, the Company may require each Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

18.22

Transferability of Awards .

(a)

In General .  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 18.22:

(i)

No Award may be sold, pledged, encumbered, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, subject to the consent of the Committee, pursuant to a DRO, unless and until such Award has been exercised, or the



38


shares of Stock underlying such Award have been issued, and all restrictions, including without limitation risks of forfeiture, applicable to such shares of Stock have lapsed;

(ii)

No Award or interest or right therein shall be liable for or may be applied to pay, satisfy or settle the debts, contracts or engagements of a Participant or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, assignment or any other means, whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary, or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy or insolvency), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by this Section 18.22; and

(iii)

During the lifetime of a Participant, only such Participant may exercise an Award (or any portion thereof) granted to him under the Plan, unless it has been disposed of pursuant to a DRO, and after the death of a Participant any exercisable portion of an Award may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement, be exercised by Participant's personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Participant's will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.

(b)

Permitted Transferees . Notwithstanding Section 18.22(a) hereof, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine to permit a Participant to transfer an Award other than an Incentive Stock Option to any one or more Permitted Transferees, subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) an Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall not be assignable or transferable by the Permitted Transferee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; (ii) an Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall continue to be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Award as applicable to the original Participant (other than the ability to further transfer the Award); (iii) any transfer of an Award to a Permitted Transferee shall be without consideration; and (iv) the Participant and the Permitted Transferee shall execute any and all documents requested by the Committee, including, without limitation documents to (A) confirm the status of the transferee as a Permitted Transferee, (B) satisfy any requirements for an exemption for the transfer under Applicable Law and (C) evidence the transfer.

(c)

Beneficiaries . Notwithstanding Section 18.22(a) hereof, a Participant may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of such Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and the Award Agreement otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If a Participant is married or a domestic partner in a domestic partnership qualified under Applicable Law and resides in a community property state, a designation of a person other than the Participant’s spouse or domestic partner, as applicable, as his or her beneficiary with respect to more than 50% of the Participant’s interest in the Award shall not be effective without the prior written or electronic consent in form and substance satisfactory to the Committee of such Participant’s spouse or domestic partner. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the person entitled thereto pursuant to the Participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time provided that the change or revocation is filed with the Committee prior to the Participant’s death.

18.23

Delivery of Certificates . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates or make any book entries evidencing

In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board or the Committee may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Board or the Committee, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with Applicable Law as a condition to the issuance or exercise of any Award.

18.24

Stop-Transfer Orders . All stock certificates delivered pursuant to the Plan and all shares of Stock issued pursuant to book entry procedures are subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with Applicable Law. The Committee may place legends on any stock certificate or book entry to reference restrictions applicable to the shares of Stock.

18.25

Book Entry Stock . Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or required by Applicable Law or the By-Laws of the Company, the Company shall not deliver to any Participant certificates evidencing shares of Stock issued in connection with any Award and instead such shares of Stock shall be recorded in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator).

18.26

Amendment or Termination of the Plan . The Board of Directors of the Company shall have the right to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, provided that no amendment shall be made which shall increase the total number of shares of the Stock of the Company which may be issued and sold pursuant to Incentive Stock Options, reduce the minimum exercise price in the case of an Incentive Stock Option or modify the provisions of the Plan relating to eligibility with respect to Incentive Stock Options unless such amendment is made by or with the approval of the stockholders of the Company within 12 months of the effective date of such amendment, but only if such approval is required by Applicable Law. Furthermore, no amendment to the Plan may change (i) the maximum amount of Awards that may be granted or paid on an annual basis or (ii) the exercise price of any options granted hereunder without the prior approval of the Company’s stockholders in the manner required under Section 162(m) of the Code; provided, however, that such stockholder consent is required only during such period that the deduction limitations under Code Section 162(m) apply to Awards granted under the Plan. Lastly, any amendment or termination of the Plan shall be subject to all other Applicable Law. The Board of Directors of the Company shall also be authorized to amend the Plan and the Options granted thereunder to maintain qualification as Incentive Stock Options, if applicable. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall alter or impair any Award (to the extent vested) previously granted under the Plan without the consent of the holder thereof.

18.27

Stockholder Approval . Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, but only to the extent necessary to satisfy the performance-based compensation exception to the application of Section 162(m) of the Code or in order to satisfy any other Applicable Law, no Award may be granted (or settled) in the absence of the timely approval of the Plan and/or the Awards by that number of the owners of the Company’s outstanding shares of Stock required by Applicable Law to approve the Plan and/or such Awards. Such approval must be obtained by a separate vote of the Company’s stockholders or by any other method allowed under the Applicable Law. Furthermore, at such times that no class of the Company’s capital stock is transferable over a public exchange and to the extent necessary to avoid the excise tax set forth under Section 4999 of the Code, and the loss of an income tax deduction under Section 280G of the Code, the grant, vesting, acceleration of vesting and/or payments of or relating to Awards (or relating to the exercise or other disposition of



40


Awards) shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders in a manner consistent with the requirements of Treas. Reg. Section 1.280G-1 Q&A 7.

The Transaction


On February 2, 2016, Biotricity Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada (the “Parent” and “Biotricity”), 1061806 BC LTD., a wholly owned subsidiary of Biotricity, and a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia  (“Callco”), 1062024 BC LTD., a subsidiary of Callco and a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“Exchangeco”), iMedical Innovations Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario (“iMedical”) and the Shareholders of  iMedical entered into an Exchange Agreement in connection with the closing of the Acquisition Transaction as detailed below:

·

Biotricity’s sole existing director resigned and a new director who is the sole director of iMedical was appointed to fill the vacancy;

·

Biotricity’s sole Chief Executive Officer and sole officer, who beneficially owned 6,500,000 shares of outstanding common stock, resigned from all positions and transferred all of his shares back for cancellation;

·

The existing management of iMedical were appointed as executive officers; and

·

The existing shareholders of iMedical entered into a transaction whereby their existing common shares of iMedical were exchanged for either (a) a new class of shares that are exchangeable for shares of Biotricity’s common stock, or (b) shares of Biotricity’s common stock, which (assuming exchange of all such exchangeable shares) would equal in the aggregate a number of shares of Biotricity’s common stock that constitute 90% of Biotricity’s issued and outstanding shares.


As a result, Biotricity’s management have determined to treat the acquisition as a reverse merger and recapitalization for accounting purposes, with iMedical as the acquirer for accounting purposes.    

 

2    Basis of Presentation


The unaudited pro forma combined financial information for Biotricity as at and for the nine month period ended November 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015 and twelve months period ended November 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014, respectively, has been prepared by management to reflect the Acquisition Transaction as described in Note 1.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information that follows for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and November 30, 2014 have been derived from the historical audited financial statements of iMedical for the year ended December 31, 2014 and from the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of Biotricity as at and for the period ended November 30, 2014.


The unaudited pro forma combined financial information that follows for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and November 30, 2014 have been derived from the historical audited financial statements of iMedical for the year ended December 31, 2014 and from the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of Biotricity as at and for the period ended November 30, 2014.

 

Certain adjustments have been made while combining the two companies which are detailed in note 3. The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and assumptions that Biotricity believes are reasonable. Such adjustments are estimates and are subject to change.

Biotricity Inc. (formerly known as Metasolutions Inc.)

Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements

(Expressed in US $)

(Unaudited)

 

The Acquisition Transaction will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (ASC 805, Business Combinations). Biotricity’s management has evaluated the guidance contained in ASC 805 with respect to the identification of the acquirer in the Acquisition Transaction and concluded, based on a consideration of the pertinent facts and circumstances, that iMedical will acquire Biotricity for financial accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Acquisition Transaction has been accounted for in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements as a continuation of the financial statements of iMedical together with an exchange of shares, to the former shareholders of Biotricity and a re-capitalization of the equity of Biotricity.

 

3     Pro Forma Adjustments


The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements give effect to the following adjustments:

 

 

(a)

Immediately following the closing of the Acquisition Transaction, the authorized capital of the Parent consists of 125,000,000 Parent Shares of common stock, par value US$0.001 per share of which 25,000,000 Parent Shares are issued and outstanding, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value US$0.001 per share of which one share has been designated Special Voting Preferred Stock, one share of Special Voting Preferred Stock is issued and outstanding.


Of the issued and outstanding 2,500,000 Parent Shares existing prior to the Acquisition, 750,000 will be held in escrow and are subject to forfeiture in the event the Parent is not able to raise US $6,000,000 by the six month anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition Transaction.

 

(b)

Eliminates the capital stock of iMedical and accumulated deficit of Biotricity.

Biometric Monitoring Solutions Provider, Biotricity, Begins Trading on the OTC QB Market as “BTCY”


Redwood City, Calif., February 3, 2016 – iMedical Innovation Inc., dba Biotricity, a healthcare technology company dedicated to delivering innovative, medically relevant biometric monitoring solutions, has completed a “reverse merger” transaction with Metasolutions Inc. (OTC.QB: BTCY), a U.S.-based publicly-traded provider of, until the closing, energy intelligence management solutions, at which time all of its assets and liabilities were assigned to and assumed by a third party.


MetaSolutions has changed its name to Biotricity, Inc. and the company’s stock began trading on the OTC Venture Marketplace (OTC QB) under the new ticker, “BTCY.” Waqaas Al-Siddiq, the founder, president and CEO of iMedical Innovations, was appointed president, chairman and CEO of Biotricity, Inc.


“The completion of this merger represents the beginning of the next stage in the growth and development of Biotricity,” said Al-Siddiq “As a public entity, we gain greater access to the capital markets, as well as enhanced transparency for both our shareholders and industry partners.”


Biotricity is a modern medical technology company focused on delivering innovative, remote biometric monitoring solutions to the medical and consumer markets, including diagnostic and post-diagnostic solutions for chronic conditions and lifestyle improvement.


The company’s flagship product bio flux, currently in development, is a mobile cardiac telemetry (MCT) solution that is expected to enable physicians to remotely monitor and diagnose cardiovascular disease (CVD) and coronary heart disease by detecting arrhythmias.


The device transmits electrocardiograph (ECG) data in real-time, allowing cardiac-triggered events to be monitored remotely as they occur. The product’s software component is FDA-cleared, and its diagnostic reads are reimbursable by insurance in the U.S. under existing American Medical Association and Current Procedural Terminal (CPT) codes.


CVD is the number one cause of death worldwide, and the early detection, diagnosis and management of chronic cardiac conditions is critical to reducing the burden on healthcare providers as the world’s population ages. This need is driving the growth in the cardiac monitoring market, which is expected to reach $26 billion by 2020. In addition to the aging population, major factors contributing to this growth include an increase in chronic diseases related to lifestyle choices and improved technology in diagnostic devices.




“While traditional electrocardiograms help diagnose certain types of cardiovascular conditions, MCT is the preferred remote heart monitoring method among physicians because of its ability to continuously monitor patients in real-time,” noted Al-Siddiq. “This reduces patient risk and physician liability.”


The company plans to submit its application for FDA clearance of bio flux in the first quarter of 2016, and officially launch the device in the second quarter.


Our vision is to revolutionize the MCT market by providing a more convenient, cost-effective and integrated solution for both providers and patients,” said Al-Siddiq. “Our platform is also designed to encompass other segments of the remote patient monitoring market, including pre-natal monitoring, preventative care, and lifestyle and wellness.”


Further details regarding the merger transaction will be filed in a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and available on www.sec.gov and the company’s website at www.biotricity.com.
