Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

The information set forth in Item 3.02 regarding the Private Placement is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

 

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

The information set forth in Item 3.02 regarding the Private Placement is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On August 19, 2022, Lowell Farms Inc. (the “Company”) and Indus Holdings Company (“Indus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed a US $4.2 million non-brokered private placement of convertible debentures and warrants (the “Private Placement”).

 

Pursuant to the subscription agreements entered into in connection with the Private Placement (the “Subscription Agreements”), Indus sold senior secured convertible debentures, maturing on October 13, 2023 (“Debentures”), for aggregate gross proceeds of US $4.2 million. The Debentures bear a fixed interest rate of 5.5% per annum and will mature on October 13, 2023. Each Debenture is convertible into non-voting common shares of Indus (“Indus Shares”) at a conversion price of $0.2313. Such Indus Shares are redeemable at the option of the holder for subordinate voting shares of the Company (“Shares”) on a one-for-one basis. Each purchaser of a Debenture received, for no additional consideration, (i) a warrant for the purchase of a number of Shares equal to the number of Indus Shares into which the Debenture is convertible (the “Company Warrant”) and (ii) a warrant for the purchase of a number of Indus Shares equal to 150% of the number of Indus Shares into which the Debenture is convertible (the “Indus Warrant,” together with the Company Warrant, the “Warrants”). Each Warrant is exercisable at any time until February 19, 2026 at an exercise price of US $0.2613 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

 

Investors will have the right to require the Company to repurchase their Indus Warrants and any Indus Warrant Shares issued following exercise of the Indus Warrants on a Share-equivalent basis (i) in connection with a sale of the Company or substantially all of its assets (a “Sale Transaction”), in the event the Indus Warrants and Indus Warrant Shares are not included in the Sale Transaction on terms that are economically equivalent to the treatment of the Shares, at a purchase price equal to the consideration per Share paid in the Sale Transaction and (ii) upon expiration of the Indus Warrants, at a purchase price per Share equal to the average closing price for the Shares over the 30 trading-day period ending three trading days prior to the last day of the Indus Warrant exercise period. The foregoing prices are payable in cash or, if legally permissible and the Company applies for and obtains all necessary regulatory approvals (including, without limitation, the approval of any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed), in Shares.

 

As further consideration for their investments in the Debentures, the expiration date applicable to previously issued warrants held by certain investors will be extended from October 13, 2023 to April 13, 2025 and, if applicable regulatory approvals are obtained, will be further extended to February 19, 2026.

 

The Debentures are part of the same series of convertible debentures issued in connection with the Company’s and Indus’s April 2020 financing (“2020 Debentures”). The amounts due under the Debentures and the 2020 Debentures are secured on a pari passu basis by substantially all assets of the Company (other than the Company’s Monterey County processing facility).

 

Proceeds from the Private Placement are contemplated to be used for working capital purposes, automation investments and expansion into new markets.

 

Certain officers and directors of the Company purchased an aggregate of $2,415,000 in Debentures and accompanying Warrants pursuant to the Private Placement on the same terms as the other participants in the Private Placement. Participation by such insiders of the Company in the Private Placement was considered a "related party transaction" under relevant U.S. and Canadian securities laws and was approved by the disinterested directors of the Company.

 

2

 

The Debentures, their components and underlying securities were offered and will be issued in reliance upon Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as a transaction not requiring registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act. Each investor represented that it is an accredited investor and that it is acquiring the securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to any resale, distribution or other disposition of such securities in violation of the United States federal securities laws. Securities issued in the Private Placement are "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and may not be transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered or an exemption is available under the Securities Act. Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K, nor the exhibits attached hereto, is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein.

 

The foregoing summaries of the terms of the Subscription Agreements, Debentures and Warrants do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the form of Subscription Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, to the complete text of the form of Debenture, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference, to the complete text of the form of Company Warrant, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and is incorporated herein by reference, and to the complete text of the form of Indus Warrant, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4 and is incorporated herein by reference.

(h)

In the event that the SEC for any reason limits the number of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares that may be included and sold by the Purchaser and/or other purchasers in the Private Placement in the Resale Registration Statement, Parent shall reduce the number of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares included in the Resale Registration Statement on behalf of the Purchaser and/or such other purchasers accordingly (such portion shall be allocated pro rata among the Purchaser and such other purchasers) (such excluded shares, the “Reduction Securities”). Parent shall not be liable for any losses in connection with the exclusion of such Reduction Securities or in connection with any delay in the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement arising from any interactions between Parent and the SEC with respect to the number of Conversion Shares and/or Warrant Shares that may be included and sold by the Purchaser and/or other purchasers in the Private Placement in the Resale Registration Statement.

SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE

 

$[•]

 

August [17], 2022

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Indus Holding Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to [name], [type of entity and jurisdiction], in lawful money of the United States of America the principal sum of $[•], or such lesser amount as shall equal the outstanding principal amount hereof, together with interest from the date of this Senior Secured Convertible Debenture (this “New Debenture”) on the unpaid principal balance at a rate equal to 5.5% per annum, computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days. All unpaid principal, together with any then unpaid and accrued interest and other amounts payable hereunder, shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) five business days following the demand of the Required Holders (as defined in Section 5 hereof) made at any date on or after the 42 month anniversary of the Initial Closing Date (such fifth business day, the “Maturity Date”), or (ii) when, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in Section 3 hereof), such amounts are declared due and payable by the Required Holders or made automatically due and payable, in each case, in accordance with the terms hereof. This New Debenture is one of the New Debentures issued pursuant to that certain Debenture and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated April 10, 2020 (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Debenture and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated August [15], 2022 (the “Purchase Agreement Amendment”, and as further amended from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company and the Purchasers listed on Schedule II of the First Amendment.

 

The following is a statement of the rights of Holder (as defined in Section 5 hereof) and the conditions to which this New Debenture is subject, and to which Holder, by the acceptance of this New Debenture, agrees:

 

 

 

 

1. Payments.

 

(a) Interest. Accrued interest on this New Debenture shall be payable in arears on a quarterly basis on the last day of each calendar quarter after the date hereof, with any remaining accrued but unpaid interest payable on the Maturity Date.

 

(b) Voluntary Prepayment. This New Debenture may be prepaid by the Company in whole at any time or in part from time to time without penalty or premium; provided that (i) any prepayment of this New Debenture may only be made in connection with the prepayment of all New Debentures on a pro rata basis, based on the respective aggregate outstanding principal amounts of each such New Debenture, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be applied first to interest accrued on this New Debenture and second, if the amount of prepayment exceeds the amount of all such accrued interest, to the payment of principal of this New Debenture; provided further that no consent of the Required Holders shall be required for a prepayment (i) following the occurrence of an Event of Default if such Event of Default has not been waived by the Required Purchasers and the exercise of remedies with respect thereto is not subject to a written deferral by the Required Purchasers of at least 60 days from the date such Indebtedness is incurred or (ii) in connection with a Change of Control.

 

2. Conversion.

 

(a) Conversion into Class C Common Shares.

 

(i) Conversion by Holder. At any time on or prior to the Maturity Date, upon the election of the Holder, in its sole discretion, all or any portion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest hereon shall convert into a number of fully paid and nonassessable Class C Common Shares of the Company (“Class C Common Shares”) determined pursuant to the formula set forth in Section 2(a)(iii).

 

(ii) Conversion by the Company. At any time, provided that (I) the closing price for the subordinate voting shares of Lowell Farms Inc. has been at least 3 times the Conversion Price (as defined below) on each trading day of the immediately preceding 30-trading day period and (II) the daily volume of the subordinate voting shares multiplied by the weighted average trading price of the subordinate voting shares has been at least $150,000 on each trading day of such period, the Company may deliver a written notice to each Holder of a New Debenture requiring that this New Debenture be converted into Class C Common Shares. Effective as of the fifth business day following delivery of such Notice, this New Debenture shall be converted into a number of Class C Common Shares determined pursuant to the formula set forth in Section 2(a)(iii).

 

(iii) Conversion Formula. The total number of Class C Common Shares that Holder shall be entitled to receive upon conversion of this New Debenture pursuant to the this Section 2(a) shall be equal to the number obtained by dividing (A) all or such portion of the principal and accrued but unpaid interest under such New Debenture specified by the Holder by (B) $0.2313 per share (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 2(d) hereof.

 

2

 

 

(b) Conversion on Change of Control. If the Company consummates a Change of Control (as defined in Section 5 hereof) prior to the earlier to occur of the payment in full or conversion of this New Debenture and the Maturity Date, the Company shall provide written notice to the Holder of such Change of Control and a period of at least five (5) business days to permit Holder to exercise its conversion rights pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) hereof.

 

(c) Conversion Procedure.

 

(i) Conversion Mechanics. If this New Debenture is to be converted pursuant to this Section 2, Holder shall deliver to the Company written notice to the Company of the conversion to be effected, specifying the principal amount of the New Debenture to be converted, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, the date on which such conversion shall occur and surrendering this New Debenture to the Company. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, and in no event later than the date specified in such notice, issue and deliver to Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares to which Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion.

 

(ii) Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein contained, the Company shall in no case be required to issue fractional Class C Common Shares upon the conversion of this New Debenture. If any fractional interest in a Class C Common Share would, except for the provisions of this 2(c)(ii), be deliverable upon the conversion of this New Debenture, the aggregate number of Class C Common Shares to which such holder shall be entitled shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number if the fraction is less than 0.5 and rounded up to the nearest whole number if the fraction is 0.5 or greater.

 

(d) Adjustments to Conversion Price and Class C Common Shares. Subject to the requirements of the Canadian Securities Exchange (or such other exchange on which the Class C Common Shares are then listed), the Conversion Price and Class C Common Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(i) If and whenever at any time prior to the Maturity Date the outstanding Class C Common Shares shall be subdivided, redivided or changed into a greater or consolidated into a lesser number of Class C Common Shares or reclassified into different shares of capital stock of the Company (a “Reclassification”), or the Company shall issue additional Class C Common Shares (or securities convertible into additional Class C Common Shares or different shares of capital stock of the Company) to the holders of all or substantially all of its outstanding Class C Common Shares by way of a stock dividend or otherwise (other than an issue of additional Class C Common Shares to holders of Class C Common Shares who have elected to receive dividends in the form of Class C Common Shares in lieu of receiving cash dividends paid in the ordinary course) (a “Stock Dividend”), Holder shall be entitled to receive and shall accept, upon the exercise of such right at any time on the effective date of such Reclassification or Stock Dividend or thereafter, in lieu of the number of Class C Common Shares to which he was theretofore entitled upon conversion, the aggregate number of Class C Common Shares, different shares of capital stock of the Company and/or securities convertible into Class C Common Shares or different shares of capital stock of the Company that Holder would have held immediately following such Reclassification or Stock Dividend had he been the registered holder of the number of Class C Common Shares to which he was theretofore entitled upon conversion as of the applicable record date or effective date for such action.

 

3

 

 

(ii) If and whenever at any time prior to the Maturity Date the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Class C Common Shares entitling them to subscribe for or purchase additional Class C Common Shares, different shares of capital stock of the Company or securities convertible into Class C Common Shares or different shares of capital stock of the Company, and if such issuance has or is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the conversion privilege or right of Holder hereunder, then the conversion rights (including, as applicable, the Conversion Price) shall be adjusted appropriately as determined by the directors of the Company, acting reasonably. If all such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted based upon the number of additional Class C Common Shares, different shares of capital stock of the Company or securities convertible into Class C Common Shares or different shares of capital stock of the Company actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be.

 

(iii) No adjustments of the Conversion Price shall be made pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) or Section 2(d)(ii) if the Holder is permitted to participate in such Reclassification or Stock Dividend or in the issue of such options, rights or warrants, as the case may be, as though and to the same effect as if it had converted the principal amount outstanding under this New Debenture into Class C Common Shares prior to the applicable record date or effective date for such Reclassification or Stock Dividend or the issue of such options, rights or warrants, as the case may be.

 

(iv) The adjustments provided for in this Section 2(d) are cumulative and shall be computed to the nearest one-tenth of one cent and will be made successively whenever an event referred to therein occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made in any case in which the resulting increase or decrease in the Conversion Price would be less than one percent of the then prevailing Conversion Price. Any adjustment that would otherwise have been required to be made, but for the minimum percentage threshold, shall be carried forward and made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment to the Conversion Price which, together with any and all such adjustments so carried forward, shall result in an increase or decrease in the Conversion Price by not less than one percent.

 

(e) Notices of Record Date. In the event of:

 

(i) Any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities of Company for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right; or

 

(ii) Any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any other Person or any consolidation or merger involving the Company; or

 

4

 

 

(iii) Any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company,

 

the Company shall deliver to Holder at least 10 business days prior to the earliest date specified therein, a notice specifying (A) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right; and (B) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective and the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote thereon.

 

3. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this New Debenture:

 

(a) Failure to Pay. The Company shall fail to pay (i) when due any principal payment on the Maturity Date therefor or (ii) any interest payment required under the terms of this New Debenture on the date due and such payment shall not have been made within five business days of the Company’s receipt of written notice by the Required Holders of such failure to pay; or

 

(b) Breaches of Covenants. The Company shall fail to observe or perform any other covenant, obligation, condition or agreement contained in this New Debenture (other than those specified in Section 3(a) hereof), the Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other than the Voting Agreement), including, without limitation, the negative covenants set forth in Section 6(a) of the Purchase Agreement and, in the event of such failure is susceptible to cure, such failure shall not have been cured by the Company within thirty (30) days after written notice to the Company by the Required Holders of such failure; or

 

(c) Voluntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. The Company shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property, (ii) admit in a writing approved by the Company’s board of directors its inability to pay its debts generally as they mature, (iii) make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (iv) be dissolved or liquidated under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, (v) commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession of its property by any official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or (vi) enter into any agreement (other than for the engagement of legal or financial advisors) for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing; or

 

(d) Involuntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. Proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of the Company, or of all or a substantial part of the property thereof, or an involuntary case or other proceedings seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, if any, or the debts thereof under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect shall be commenced and an order for relief entered or such proceeding shall not be dismissed or discharged within 60 days of commencement.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 3(c) and Section 3(d) hereof, immediately and without notice, all principal and accrued and unpaid interest hereunder shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived. In addition to the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Required Holders may exercise any other right power or remedy permitted to the Holders by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both.

A

the number of shares of Stock then purchasable under the New Warrant

 

A =

 

the fair market value of one share of the Stock as determined in accordance with Section 2.3 below (at the date of such calculation)

2.3 Determination of Fair Market Value. For purposes of this New Warrant, the fair market value of one share of the Stock shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith as of the date of such calculation; provided, however, that:

 

3

 

 

(a) (i) if the Stock is traded on a securities exchange or through the Nasdaq National Market or Canadian Securities Exchange, the fair market value per share shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the Stock on such exchange or quotation system (or the Equivalent Amount in United States dollars if the closing prices are quoted in Canadian dollars) over the 10 trading-day period ending three trading days prior to the exercise of the New Warrant; (ii) if the Stock is actively traded over-the-counter, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the 10 trading-day period ending three days prior to the exercise of the New Warrant; and (iii) if there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith; and in the event that this New Warrant is exercised pursuant to this Section 2.2 in connection with a Change of Control of the Company, the fair market value per share of Stock shall be the price paid for such share of Stock (in cash or in property, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) in connection with the Change of Control.

 

2.4 Conversion by the Company. At any time (a) on or after the 12-month anniversary of the Initial 2022 Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and prior to the 18-month anniversary of the Initial 2022 Closing Date, and provided that the closing price for the Warrant Shares has been at least 6 times the Exercise Price on each trading day of the immediately preceding 30-trading day period, (b) on or after the 18-month anniversary of the Initial 2022 Closing Date and prior to the 24-month anniversary of the Initial 2022 Closing Date, and provided that the closing price for the Warrant Shares has been at least 4 times the Exercise Price on each trading day of the immediately preceding 30-trading day period, and (c) on or after the 24-month anniversary of the Initial 2022 Closing Date, and provided that the closing price for the Warrant Shares has been at least USD $0.90 per share (adjusted on the same basis as provided in Section 3) on each trading day of the immediately preceding 30-trading day period, the Company may deliver a written notice to the Holder of this New Warrant requiring that this New Warrant be exercised for Exercise Shares. Effective as of the fifth business day following delivery of such Notice, this New Warrant shall be converted into a number of Exercise Shares determined pursuant to the formula set forth in Section 2.2.

 

3. Adjustment of Exercise Price. Subject to the requirements of the Canadian Securities Exchange (or such other exchange on which the Exercise Shares are then listed), the Exercise Price and Exercise Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

3.1 If and whenever at any time prior to end of the Exercise Period the outstanding Stock shall be subdivided, redivided or changed into a greater or consolidated into a lesser number of Stock or reclassified into different shares of capital stock of the Company (a “Reclassification”), or the Company shall issue additional Stock (or securities convertible into additional Stock or different shares of capital stock of the Company) to the holders of all or substantially all of its outstanding Stock by way of a stock dividend or otherwise (other than an issue of additional Stock to holders of Stock who have elected to receive dividends in the form of Stock in lieu of receiving cash dividends paid in the ordinary course) (a “Stock Dividend”), Holder shall be entitled to receive and shall accept, upon the exercise of such right and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price at any time on the effective date of such Reclassification or Stock Dividend or thereafter, in lieu of the number of Stock to which he was theretofore entitled upon exercise, the aggregate number of Stock, different shares of capital stock of the Company and/or securities convertible into Stock or different shares of capital stock of the Company that Holder would have held immediately following such Reclassification or Stock Dividend had he been the registered holder of the number of Stock to which he was theretofore entitled upon exercise as of the applicable record date or effective date for such action.

 

4

 

 

3.2 If and whenever at any time prior to the end of the Exercise Period the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase additional Stock, different shares of capital stock of the Company or securities convertible into Stock or different shares of capital stock of the Company, and if such issuance has or is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on rights of Holder hereunder, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately as determined by the directors of the Company, acting reasonably. If all such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted based upon the number of additional Stock, different shares of capital stock of the Company or securities convertible into Stock or different shares of capital stock of the Company actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be.

 

3.3 No adjustments of the Exercise Price shall be made pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 if the Holder is permitted to participate in such Reclassification or Stock Dividend or in the issue of such options, rights or warrants, as the case may be, as though and to the same effect as if it had exercised this New Warrant into Exercise Shares prior to the applicable record date or effective date for such Reclassification or Stock Dividend or the issue of such options, rights or warrants, as the case may be.

 

3.4 The adjustments provided for in this Section 3 are cumulative and shall be computed to the nearest one-tenth of one cent and will be made successively whenever an event referred to therein occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made in any case in which the resulting increase or decrease in the Exercise Price would be less than one percent of the then prevailing Exercise Price. Any adjustment that would otherwise have been required to be made, but for the minimum percentage threshold, shall be carried forward and made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment to the Exercise Price which, together with any and all such adjustments so carried forward, shall result in an increase or decrease in the Exercise Price by not less than one percent.

 

4. Fractional Shares; Effect of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein contained, the Company shall in no case be required to issue fractional Exercise Shares upon the exercise of this New Warrant. If any fractional interest in an Exercise Share would, except for the provisions of this 4, be deliverable upon the exercise of this New Warrant, the aggregate number of Exercise Shares to which such holder shall be entitled shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number if the fraction is less than 0.5 and rounded up to the nearest whole number if the fraction is 0.5 or greater.

 

5. No Stockholder Rights. This New Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any right to receive dividends, voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

 

6.Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. The Company covenants to the Holder hereof that, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this New Warrant or any stock certificate and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such New Warrant or stock certificate, the Company shall make and deliver a new New Warrant or stock certificate, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated New Warrant or stock certificate.

 

5

 

 

7. Notices. Any notice required or permitted under this New Warrant shall be given in accordance with Section 9(g) of the Purchase Agreement.

 

8. Acceptance. Receipt of this New Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.

 

9. Amendment and Waiver. Any provision of this New Warrant may be amended or waived in a writing signed by both the Company and the Required Holders and such amendment or waiver shall be binding on all Holders.

 

10. Governing Law; Venue.

 

10.1 This New Warrant and all actions arising out of or in connection with this New Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its internal rules governing the conflict of laws.

 

10.2 Each of the Company and the Holder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Delaware State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, in Wilmington, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this New Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating hereto, and each of the Company and the Holder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such courts; (b) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such courts; (c) waives any objection or defense which it may now or hereafter have based on personal jurisdiction; (d) waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court; and (e) waives the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each of the Company and the Holder agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each of the Company and the Holder irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9(g) of the Purchase Agreement.

 

10.3 EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER (WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS NEW WARRANT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE RELATIONSHIPS ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THE COMPANY, THE HOLDER, ANY OTHER HOLDER(S) OF NEW WARRANTS.

2.4 Additional Covenants.

 

(a) Parent will not, and will cause the Company and its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any transaction constituting a Change of Control (a “Sale Transaction”) unless provision is made for the purchase of this Warrant, or the portion hereof that remains outstanding, and any Exercise Shares then held by the Holder (or the payment of Sale Transaction proceeds to the Holder) in connection with the Sale Transaction on terms that are economically equivalent (as determined by the Parent Board (which for purposes of this Section 2.4 shall mean the Parent Board as constituted immediately prior to the closing of the Sale Transaction) in good faith) to the purchase of the Voting Shares (or the payment of Sale Transaction proceeds to the holders thereof) in the Sale Transaction (equitably adjusted by the Parent Board for (i) the Exercise Price, insofar as this Warrant, or the portion hereof that remains outstanding, is concerned, and (ii) stock splits, recombinations, reorganizations and other similar events after the date hereof and such other factors as the Parent Board may determine (but without duplication of the adjustments in Section 3)) (the “Sale Transaction Price”). Subject to the preceding sentence, the Holder agrees to sell this Warrant, or the portion hereof that remains outstanding, and any Exercise Shares then held by the Holder pursuant to the terms of such a Sale Transaction structured to include a sale of Indus Warrants and/or Indus Warrant Shares and, if required by Parent, to become a party to the transaction documents related to such Sale Transaction. If a Sale Transaction occurs (or the Parent Board determines that a Sale Transaction is likely to occur) and the terms do not provide for the purchase of the Indus Warrants and the Indus Warrant Shares in accordance with the second preceding sentence, the Holder will have the right (the “Sale Transaction Put”) to sell this Warrant, or the portion hereof that remains outstanding, and any Exercise Shares then held by the Holder to Parent at a purchase price per Exercise Share, as determined in good faith by the Parent Board, equal to Consideration Per Share paid in the Sale Transaction (equitably adjusted by the Parent Board for (i) the Exercise Price, insofar as this Warrant, or the portion hereof that remains outstanding, is concerned, and (ii) stock splits, recombinations, reorganizations and other similar events after the date hereof and such other factors as the Parent Board may determine (but without duplication of the adjustments in Section 3)) (the “Sale Transaction Put Price”). The Sale Transaction Put Price will be paid in cash or (if legally permissible and Parent applies for and obtains all necessary regulatory approvals (including, without limitation, the approval of any stock exchange on which the Voting Shares are listed)) Voting Shares, provided that such Voting Shares are purchased in the Sale Transaction (or are entitled to the payment of Sale Transaction proceeds) on the same terms as other Voting Shares purchased in the Sale Transaction (or entitled to the payment of Sale Transaction proceeds), with the number of any such Voting Shares issued to the Holder determined in good faith by the Parent Board to preserve the economic equivalence of the Exercise Shares and the Voting Shares (equitably adjusted by the Parent Board for (i) the Exercise Price, insofar as this Warrant, or the portion hereof that remains outstanding, is concerned, and (ii) stock splits, recombinations, reorganizations and other similar events after the date hereof and such other factors as the Parent Board may determine (but without duplication of the adjustments in Section 3)). If the terms of the Sale Transaction include any escrows, earn-outs or other terms affecting the amount or timing of sale proceeds distributed to holders of Voting Shares, the Parent Board shall implement such procedures as it may reasonably determine to provide the Holder with the proportionate economic benefits and to cause the Holders to bear the proportionate economic burdens of such provision. As used herein, “Consideration Per Share” means (i) in a Sale Transaction Structured as a purchase of Voting Shares, the price paid for one Voting Share, and (ii) in any other Sale Transaction, the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration paid in such Sale Transaction by (y) the fully diluted number of Voting Shares outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Sale Transaction (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the Indus Warrants and Indus Warrant Shares on the same basis as if the Indus Warrants and Indus Warrant Shares had become exchangeable for New Warrants and Voting Shares, respectively, in accordance with Section 2.4(e), whether or not they are then exchangeable), equitably adjusted to account for the exercise price of outstanding options, warrants and other derivative securities outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Sale Transaction. The Parent Board shall be entitled to engage, and Parent shall pay all expenses of, an independent financial advisor to determine the Sale Transaction Put Price and for any or all other purposes of this Section 2.4(a), and in such event the Parent Board shall be relieved of liability for the determination of the Sale Transaction Put Price and such other determinations in reliance on the advice of such independent financial advisor to the maximum extent permitted by law.

(b) If a Sale Transaction has not occurred prior to the end of the Exercise Period or if for any other reason this Warrant remains outstanding at such time, the Holder will have the right (the “Expiration Put”) to sell this Warrant, or the portion hereof that remains outstanding, and any Exercise Shares then held by the Holder to Parent at a purchase price per Exercise Share, as determined in good faith by the Parent Board, equal to the average closing price for the Voting Shares over the 30 trading-day period ending three trading days prior to the last day of the Exercise Period (equitably adjusted by the Parent Board for (i) the Exercise Price, insofar as this Warrant, or the portion hereof that remains outstanding, is concerned, and (ii) stock splits, recombinations, reorganizations and other similar events after the date hereof and such other factors as the Parent Board may determine (but without duplication of the adjustments in Section 3)) (the “Expiration Put Price”). The Expiration Put Price will be paid in cash or (if legally permissible and Parent applies for and obtains all necessary regulatory approvals (including, without limitation, the approval of any stock exchange on which the Voting Shares are listed)) will be exchanged for Voting Shares at the Expiration Put Price. The Parent Board shall be entitled to engage, and Parent shall pay all expenses of, an independent financial advisor to determine the Expiration Put Price, and in such event the Parent Board shall be relieved of liability for the determination of the Expiration Put Price in reliance on the advice of such independent financial advisor to the maximum extent permitted by law. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Sale Transaction is pending, or if the Parent Board determines that a Sale Transaction is likely to occur, at the end of the Exercise Period, the Sale Transaction Put will apply and the Expiration Put will only be exercisable if such Sale Transaction has not been consummated within 120 days after the end of the Exercise Period.

 

(c) The Holder may exercise the Sale Transaction Put or the Expiration Put by notice to Parent at the address for the Company set forth in, and otherwise in accordance with, Section 9(g) of the Purchase Agreement, or in any other manner reasonably calculated to provide actual notice to Parent. Notice of exercise of the Sale Transaction Put must be given within 120 days following the later of (i) the closing of the applicable Sale Transaction and (ii) written notice to the Holder from Parent and the acquiring party in the Sale Transaction of the Sale Transaction Put Price. Notice of exercise of the Expiration Put must be given within 120 days following the end of the Exercise Period or, if the Expiration Put is not exercisable at such time due to the pending of a Sale Transaction (or a Parent Board determination that a Sale Transaction is likely to occur), within 120 days following written notice to the Holder from Parent that the Sale Transaction Put will not apply.

 

(d) Parent and the Company shall have the right, at any time following the expiration of the notice period for the Expiration Put, and so long as a Sale Transaction is not pending and has not been determined by the Parent Board to be likely to occur, to purchase any or all outstanding Exercise Shares for cash for a price equal to the 30 trading-day period ending three trading days prior to Parent’s or the Company’s determination to exercise such right. Upon such determination, prompt notice of the repurchase of such Exercise Shares shall be given to the Holder in accordance with Section 9(g) of the Purchase Agreement or in any other manner reasonably calculated to provide actual notice to the Holder.

 

(e) Provided that Parent has applied for and obtained all necessary regulatory approvals (including, without limitation, the approval of any stock exchange on which the Voting Shares are listed), (a) the Holder will be entitled to exchange this Warrant for a New Warrant on a one-for-one basis (equitably adjusted by the Parent Board to take into account stock splits, recombinations, reorganizations and other similar events after the date hereof and such other factors as the Parent Board may determine (but without duplication of the adjustments in Section 3)) and (b) the Holder will be entitled to exchange any outstanding Exercise Shares for Voting Shares on a one-for-one basis (equitably adjusted by the Parent Board to take into account stock splits, recombinations, reorganizations and other similar events after the date hereof and such other factors as the Parent Board may reasonably determine (but without duplication of the adjustments in Section 3)).

3. Adjustment of Exercise Price. Subject to the requirements of the Canadian Securities Exchange (or such other exchange on which Stock is then listed), the Exercise Price and Exercise Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

3.1 If and whenever at any time prior to end of the Exercise Period the Company’s outstanding common shares shall be subdivided, redivided or changed into a greater or consolidated into a lesser number of common shares or reclassified into different shares of capital stock of the Company (a “Reclassification”), or the Company shall issue additional common shares, or securities convertible into additional common shares or different shares of capital stock of the Company to the holders of all or substantially all of its outstanding common shares by way of a stock dividend or otherwise (other than an issue of additional common shares to holders of common shares who have elected to receive dividends in the form of common shares in lieu of receiving cash dividends paid in the ordinary course) (a “Common Share Dividend”), Holder shall be entitled to receive and shall accept, upon the exercise of such right and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price at any time on the effective date of such Reclassification or Common Share Dividend or thereafter, in lieu of the number of Class D Shares to which he was theretofore entitled upon exercise, the aggregate number of Class D Shares, different shares of capital stock of the Company and/or securities convertible into Class D Shares or different shares of capital stock of the Company that Holder would have held immediately following such Reclassification or Common Share Dividend had he been the registered holder of the number of Class D Shares to which he was theretofore entitled upon exercise as of the applicable record date or effective date for such action. If only a portion of the Company’s outstanding common shares shall be subject to a Recombination or Common Stock Dividend, the foregoing adjustment shall be modified by the Company’s board of directors in good faith to address such partial Recombination or Common Stock Dividend.

 

3.2 If and whenever at any time prior to end of the Exercise Period the outstanding Stock shall be subdivided, redivided or changed into a greater or consolidated into a lesser number of Stock (a “Parent Reclassification”), or Parent shall issue additional Stock (or securities convertible into additional Stock) to the holders of all or substantially all of its outstanding Stock by way of a stock dividend or otherwise (other than an issue of additional Stock to holders of Stock who have elected to receive dividends in the form of Stock in lieu of receiving cash dividends paid in the ordinary course) (a “Parent Stock Dividend”), upon the exercise of this Warrant and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price at any time on the effective date of such Parent Reclassification or Parent Stock Dividend or thereafter, the Holder shall be entitled to receive and shall accept, in lieu of the aggregate number of Class D Shares to which he was theretofore entitled upon exercise, a number of Class D Shares reflecting a proportionate increased or decreased, as the case may be, of such aggregate number of Class D Shares so as to preserve the fully diluted percentage of the outstanding Stock (calculated, for the avoidance of doubt, by including the Indus Warrants and Indus Warrant Shares on the same basis as if the Indus Warrants and Indus Warrant Shares and become exchangeable for New Warrants and Voting Shares, respectively, in accordance with Section 2.4(e), whether or not they are then exchangeable) represented by such aggregate number of Class D Shares immediately prior to the Parent Reclassification or Parent Stock Dividend.

 

3.3 If and whenever at any time prior to the end of the Exercise Period Parent shall issue rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase additional Stock, different shares of capital stock of Parent or securities convertible into Stock or different shares of capital stock of Parent, and if such issuance has or is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on rights of Holder hereunder, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately as determined by the Parent Board, acting reasonably. If all such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted based upon the number of additional Stock, different shares of capital stock of Parent or securities convertible into Stock or different shares of capital stock of Parent actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be.

 

6

 

 

3.4 The adjustments provided for in this Section 3 are cumulative and shall be computed to the nearest one-tenth of one cent and will be made successively whenever an event referred to therein occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made in any case in which the resulting increase or decrease in the Exercise Price would be less than one percent of the then prevailing Exercise Price. Any adjustment that would otherwise have been required to be made, but for the minimum percentage threshold, shall be carried forward and made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment to the Exercise Price which, together with any and all such adjustments so carried forward, shall result in an increase or decrease in the Exercise Price by not less than one percent.

 

4. Fractional Shares; Effect of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein contained, the Company shall in no case be required to issue fractional Exercise Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. If any fractional interest in an Exercise Share would, except for the provisions of this 4, be deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the aggregate number of Exercise Shares to which such holder shall be entitled shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number if the fraction is less than 0.5 and rounded up to the nearest whole number if the fraction is 0.5 or greater.

 

5. No Stockholder Rights. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any right to receive dividends, voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

 

6. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. The Company covenants to the Holder hereof that, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, the Company shall make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant or stock certificate.

 

7. Notices. Except as otherwise provided for herein, any notice required or permitted under this Warrant shall be given in accordance with Section 9(g) of the Purchase Agreement.

 

8. Acceptance. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.

 

9. Amendment and Waiver. Any provision of this Warrant may be amended or waived in a writing signed by both the Company and the holders of Indus Warrants representing a majority of the Class D Shares then subject to outstanding Indus Warrants and such amendment or waiver shall be binding on all holders of Indus Warrants and Indus Warrant Shares.

 

10. Governing Law; Venue.

 

10.1 This Warrant and all actions arising out of or in connection with this Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its internal rules governing the conflict of laws.

 

7

 

 

10.2 Each of the Company, the Holder and Parent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Delaware State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, in Wilmington, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating hereto, and each of the Company, the Holder and Parent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such courts; (b) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such courts; (c) waives any objection or defense which it may now or hereafter have based on personal jurisdiction; (d) waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court; and (e) waives the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each of the Company, the Holder and Parent agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each of the Company, the Holder and Parent irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9(g) of the Purchase Agreement.

 

10.3 Each of the Company, the Holder AND PARENT hereby irrevocably waives all rights to trial by jury in any proceeding brought to resolve any dispute between the Company, the Holder AND/OR PARENT (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of, connected with, related to or incidental to this Warrant, the transactions contemplated hereby or the relationships established between the Company, the Holder, any other holder(s) of Warrants AND/OR PARENT.
