TIDAL ROYALTY CORP.

 

 

TERMS OF SERIES 1 CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED SHARES

 

 

1.Designation and Number of Shares. There shall hereby be created and established a series of preferred shares of Tidal Royalty Corp. (the “Company”) designated as “Series 1 Convertible Preferred Shares” (the “Series 1 Preferred Shares”). The authorized number of Series 1 Preferred Shares shall be unlimited. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in Section 18 below.  No dividends shall accrue or be payable with respect to the Series 1 Preferred Shares except as set forth in Section 8 below. 

 

2.Ranking.  Except with respect to any future series of preferred shares of senior rank to the Series 1 Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company (collectively, the “Senior Preferred Shares”) or the Series 1 Preferred Shares and any future series of preferred shares of pari passu rank to the Series 1 Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company (collectively, the “Parity Shares”), all shares of capital stock of the Company shall be junior in rank to all Series 1 Preferred Shares with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company provided same are issued in accordance with the terms hereof (collectively, the “Junior Shares”). The rights of all such shares of the Company shall be subject to the rights, powers, preferences and privileges of the Series 1 Preferred Shares set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, in no circumstance will a Series 1 Preferred Share have any rights subordinate or otherwise inferior to the rights of shares of Parity Shares or Common Shares (as defined below). 

 

3.Conversion. Each Series 1 Preferred Share shall be convertible into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3. 

 

(a)Holder’s Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(e), at any time or times on or after the Initial Issuance Date, each holder of a Series 1 Preferred Share (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”) shall be entitled to convert any whole number of Series 1 Preferred Shares into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares in accordance with Section 3(c) at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). 

 

(b)Conversion Rate. The number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares issuable upon conversion of each Series 1 Preferred Share pursuant to Section 3(a) shall initially be set at 1:1 (the “Conversion Rate”), subject to adjustment as provided herein. 

 

No fractional Common Shares are to be issued upon the conversion of any Series 1 Preferred Shares. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a Common Share, the Company shall round such fraction of a Common Share down to the nearest whole Common Share.

 

(c)Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of each Series 1 Preferred Share shall be conducted in the following manner: 

 

(i)Holder’s Conversion. To convert a Series 1 Preferred Share into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares on any Business Day (a “Conversion Date”), a Holder shall deliver (whether via facsimile or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., Calgary time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion of the Series 1 Preferred Shares subject to such conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company. Within five (5) Business Days following a Conversion Notice of any such Series 1 Preferred Shares as aforesaid, such Holder shall surrender to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company the original certificates representing the Series 1 Preferred Shares (the “Preferred Share Certificates”) so converted as aforesaid. 


5


(ii)Company’s Response. On or before the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date of receipt by the Company of the original certificates representing the Series 1 Preferred Shares subject to the Conversion Notice, the Company shall issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and delivered (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in such Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of such Holder or its designee, for the number of Common Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled. If the number of Series 1 Preferred Shares represented by the Preferred Share Certificate(s) submitted for conversion pursuant to Section 3(c)(i) is greater than the number of Series 1 Preferred Shares being converted, then the Company shall issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) a new Preferred Share Certificate representing the number of Series 1 Preferred Shares not converted. 

 

(iii)Record Holder. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Shares issuable upon a conversion of Series 1 Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Shares on the Conversion Date. 

 

(iv)Pro Rata Conversion. In the event the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one Holder for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such Series 1 Preferred Shares submitted for conversion, the Company shall convert from each Holder electing to have Series 1 Preferred Shares converted on such date a pro rata amount of such Holder’s Series 1 Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date based on the number of Series 1 Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date by such Holder relative to the aggregate number of Series 1 Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date. 

 

(v) Determinations of the Company. Any question arising with respect to pro rata conversions or any adjustments pursuant to Section 4 shall, absent manifest error, be conclusively determined by the Company and such determination shall, absent manifest error, be binding upon all of the Holders of Series 1 Preferred Shares.   

 

(d)Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp, transfer (but only in respect of the registered holder thereof), issuance and other similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Shares upon the conversion of Series 1 Preferred Shares.  

 

(e)Limitation on Beneficial Ownership.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Series 1 Preferred Shares held by a Holder shall not be convertible by such Holder, and the Company shall not effect any conversion of any Series 1 Preferred Shares held by such Holder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that such Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own, or exercise direction or control over, in excess of 9.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether the Series 1 Preferred Shares held by such Holder shall be convertible (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned or controlled by such Holder or any of its affiliates) and of which such securities shall be convertible, exercisable or exchangeable (as among all such securities owned or controlled by such Holder and its affiliates) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability of a Holder to convert Series 1 Preferred Shares, or of the Company to issue Common Shares to such Holder, pursuant to this Section 3(e) shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Section 3(e) with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility or issuance (as the case may be). For purposes of this Section 3(e), beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with applicable securities law. The provisions of this Section 3(e) shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(e) to correct this Section 3(e) (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 3(e) shall apply to a successor holder of Series 1 Preferred Shares.  For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or  


6


exercise of convertible or exercisable securities into Common Shares, including, without limitation, pursuant to these terms or securities issued pursuant to the other Transaction Documents.

 

4.Adjustments

 

(a)Adjustment of Conversion Rate upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Shares. Without limiting any provision of Section 8 if the Company at any time on or after the Initial Issuance Date subdivides (by any share split, share dividends, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately increased. Without limiting any provision of Section 8, if the Company at any time on or after the Initial Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse share split or otherwise) its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this Section 4 occurs during the period that a Conversion Rate is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Conversion Rate shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event. 

 

(b)Rights Upon Fundamental Transactions.   The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under these terms in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Series 1 Preferred Shares in exchange for such Series 1 Preferred Shares a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to these terms and having similar ranking to the Series 1 Preferred Shares, and reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of these terms and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under these terms and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein and therein. In addition to the foregoing, upon consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to each Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion of the Series 1 Preferred Shares at any time after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the Common Shares (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Section 4(a), which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the conversion of the Series 1 Preferred Shares prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of a publicly traded common shares (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) that each Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had all the Series 1 Preferred Shares held by each Holder been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Series 1 Preferred Shares contained herein), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions herein. The provisions of this Section 4(b) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Series 1 Preferred Shares. 

 

5.Authorized Common Shares. The Company shall reserve and authorize for issuance such number of Common Shares as required to satisfy the conversion of each Series 1 Preferred Share. So long as any of the Series 1 Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and authorize for issuance such number of Common Shares as required to satisfy the conversion of the number of outstanding Series 1 Preferred Shares, as of any given date, at the then applicable Conversion Rate, without taking into account any limitations on the issuance of securities set forth herein). 

  

6.Voting Rights.  Holders of Series 1 Preferred Shares shall have no voting rights, except as required by law and as expressly provided in these terms.  Subject to Section 3(e), to the extent that holders of the Series 1 Preferred Shares are entitled to vote on a matter with holders of Common Shares, voting together as one class, each Series 1 Preferred Share shall entitle the holder thereof to cast that number of votes per share as is equal to the number of Common Shares into which it is then convertible (subject to the ownership  


7


limitations specified in Section 3(e) hereof) using the record date for determining the shareholders of the Company eligible to vote on such matters as the date as of which the Conversion Rate is calculated. Holders of the Series 1 Preferred Shares shall be entitled to written notice of all shareholder meetings or written consents (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to shareholders) with respect to which they would be entitled to vote, which notice would be provided pursuant to the Company’s bylaws and applicable law.

 

7.Liquidation, Dissolution, Winding-Up. In the event of a Liquidation Event, the Holders shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the Company, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its shareholders (the “Liquidation Funds”), before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any Junior Shares, an amount per Series 1 Preferred Share equal to the amount per share such Holder would receive if such Holder converted such Series 1 Preferred Shares into Common Shares immediately prior to the date of such payment, provided that if the Liquidation Funds are insufficient to pay the full amount due to the Holders and holders of Parity Shares, then each Holder and each holder of Parity Shares shall receive a percentage of the Liquidation Funds equal to the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to such Holder and such holder of Parity Shares as a liquidation preference, in accordance with their respective terms, as a percentage of the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to all holders of Series 1 Preferred Shares and all holders of Parity Shares. To the extent necessary, the Company shall cause such actions to be taken by each of its Subsidiaries so as to enable, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the proceeds of a Liquidation Event to be distributed to the Holders in accordance with this Section 7. All the preferential amounts to be paid to the Holders under this Section 7 shall be paid or set apart for payment before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any Liquidation Funds of the Company to the holders of shares of Junior Shares in connection with a Liquidation Event as to which this Section 7 applies. 

 

8.Participation. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 4, the Holders shall, as holders of Series 1 Preferred Shares, be entitled to receive such dividends paid and distributions made to the holders of Common Shares to the same extent as if such Holders had converted each Series 1 Preferred Share held by each of them into Common Shares (without regard to any limitations on conversion herein or elsewhere) and had held such Common Shares on the record date for such dividends and distributions. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of Common Shares (provided, however, to the extent that a Holder’s right to participate in any such dividend or distribution would result in such Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution to such extent (or the beneficial ownership of any such Common Shares as a result of such dividend or distribution to such extent) and such dividend or distribution to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of such Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in such Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage). 

 

9.Vote to Change the Terms of or Issue Series 1 Preferred Shares. In addition to any other rights provided by law, except where the vote or written consent of the holders of a greater number of shares is required by law or by another provision of the constating documents of the Company, without first obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of the Required Holders, voting together as a single class, the Company shall not: (a) amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, the constating documents of the Company, or file any certificate of amendment, if such action would adversely alter or change in any respect the preferences, rights, privileges or powers, or restrictions provided for the benefit, of the Series 1 Preferred Shares, regardless of whether any such action shall be by means of amendment to the constating documents of the Company or by merger, consolidation or otherwise. 

 

10.Restrictions on Transfer. In addition to any restrictions imposed by applicable law, the transfer of Series 1 Preferred Shares shall be restricted in that no holder shall be entitled to transfer any such share or shares without: (i) the approval of the directors of the Company expressed by a resolution passed at a meeting of the board of directors or by a written resolution signed by all of the directors of the Company and (ii) if applicable, approval of the exchange on which any of the Company’s securities are listed and which exercises regulatory oversight over the Company. 


8


11.Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificates representing Series 1 Preferred Shares (as to which a written certification and the indemnification contemplated below shall suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of an indemnification undertaking by the applicable Holder to the Company in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the certificate(s), the Company shall execute and deliver new certificate(s) of like tenor and date. 

 

12.Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in these terms shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under these terms, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and no remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy. Nothing herein shall limit any Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms hereof.  Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by a Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder may cause irreparable harm to the Holders and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, each Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to seek an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to a Holder that is reasonably requested by such Holder to enable such Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of these terms. 

 

13.Noncircumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its constating documents or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, plan of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms hereof, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions these terms and take all action as may be reasonably required to protect the rights of the Holders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of these terms, the Company (i) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares upon the conversion of Series 1 Preferred Shares and (ii) shall, so long as any Series 1 Preferred Shares are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series 1 Preferred Shares, the maximum number of Common Shares as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of the Series 1 Preferred Shares then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein). 

 

14.Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. 

 

15.Notices. The Company shall provide each Holder of Series 1 Preferred Shares with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to the terms hereof, including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefor. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified herein, shall be (i) personally served, (ii) deposited in the mail, registered or certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) delivered by reputable air courier service with charges prepaid, or (iv) transmitted by hand delivery, electronic mail, telegram, or facsimile, addressed as set forth below or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written notice.  Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be deemed effective (a) upon hand delivery or delivery by facsimile, with accurate confirmation generated by the transmitting facsimile machine, or electronic mail at the address or number designated below (if delivered on a Business Day during normal business hours

16.Series 1 Preferred Shares Register.

The Company may treat the Person in whose name any Series 1 Preferred Shares is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any properly made transfers.

APPENDIX “A”

 

STATEMENT OF TERMS OF SERIES 2 CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED SHARES



TIDAL ROYALTY CORP.

TERMS OF SERIES 2 CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED SHARES

1.Designation and Number of Shares. There shall hereby be created and established a series of preferred shares of Tidal Royalty Corp. (the “Company”) designated as “Series 2 Convertible Preferred Shares” (the “Series 2 Preferred Shares”). The authorized number of Series 2 Preferred Shares shall be unlimited. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in Section 18 below. No dividends shall accrue or be payable with respect to the Series 2 Preferred Shares except as set forth in Section 8 below. 

2.Ranking. Except with respect to any future series of preferred shares of senior rank to the Series 2 Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company or the Series 2 Preferred Shares and any future series of preferred shares of pari passu rank to the Series 2 Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company (collectively, the “Parity Shares”), all shares of capital stock of the Company shall be junior in rank to all Series 2 Preferred Shares with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company provided same are issued in accordance with the terms hereof including, for greater certainty, the Series 1 Convertible Preferred Shares and the Common Shares (collectively, the “Junior Shares”). The rights of all such shares of the Company shall be subject to the rights, powers, preferences and privileges of the Series 2 Preferred Shares set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, in no circumstance will a Series 2 Preferred Share have any rights subordinate or otherwise inferior to the rights of shares of Parity Shares or Junior Shares (as defined herein). 

3.Issuance of Series 2 Preferred Shares. The Series 2 Preferred Shares may be issued in both certificated and uncertificated form. The Company shall, or shall cause the Transfer Agent to, deliver to each Holder (as defined herein) on the Initial Issuance Date certificates registered in the name of such Holder (or as such Holder may direct prior to the Initial Issuance Date) (“Certificated Series 2 Preferred Shares”), a direct registration statement evidencing such number of Series 2 Preferred Shares or an electronic deposit evidencing such number of Series 2 Preferred Shares as the Holder is entitled to (each of the direct registration statement and electronic deposit methods representing “Uncertificated Series 2 Preferred Shares”). 

4.Conversion. Each Series 2 Preferred Share shall be convertible into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares (as defined herein) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4. 

(a)Holder’s Conversion Right. At any time or times on or after the thirteenth month anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date and before the two year anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date, each holder of a Series 2 Preferred Share (each, a “Holder and collectively, the “Holders”) shall be entitled to convert any whole number of Series 2 Preferred Shares into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares in accordance with Section 4(c) at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). Any Series 2 Preferred Shares outstanding on the two year anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date shall automatically convert into fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares at such time in accordance with this Section 4 and without requiring any further action by the Holder. 


- 2 -


(b)Conversion Rate. The number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares issuable upon conversion of each Series 2 Preferred Share pursuant to Section 4(a) shall be determined pursuant to the following formula (the “Conversion Ratio”) subject to adjustment as provided for herein. 

A + (A x B x C/12) + (A x B x D/12)

where

A = 

1

B =  

5%

C =  

the number of whole months elapsed since the Initial Issuance Date and prior to the earlier of date of receipt by the Company of the applicable Conversion Notice and the one year anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date

D =  

the number of whole months elapsed since the one year anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date and prior to the date of receipt by the Company of the applicable Conversion Notice and, for greater certainty, if the conversion occurs as a result of the automatic conversion at the two year anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date, D shall be 12

No fractional Common Shares are to be issued upon the conversion of any Series 2 Preferred Shares. If the conversion would result in the issuance of a fraction of a Common Share, the Company shall round such fraction of a Common Share down to the nearest whole Common Share.

(c)Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of each Series 2 Preferred Share shall be conducted in the following manner: 

(i)Holder’s Conversion. To convert a Series 2 Preferred Share into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares on any Business Day after the thirteenth month anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date and prior to the two year anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date (a “Conversion Date”), a Holder shall deliver (whether via facsimile or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., Vancouver time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion of the Series 2 Preferred Shares subject to such conversion in the form attached hereto as Appendix “A “Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company. 

(A)A Holder of Certificated Series 2 Preferred Shares shall, within five (5) Business Days following a Conversion Notice of any such Series 2 Preferred Shares as aforesaid, surrender to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company the original certificates representing the Series 2 Preferred Shares so converted as aforesaid. 

(B)A Holder of Uncertificated Series 2 Preferred Shares evidenced by a direct registration statement shall be deemed to have surrendered any such Series 2 Preferred Shares upon receipt by the Company of the Conversion Notice. 


- 3 -


(C)A Holder of Uncertificated Series 2 Preferred Shares evidenced by a security entitlement in respect of such Series 2 Preferred Shares in the book entry registration system who desires to convert Series 2 Preferred Shares must do so by causing a Book Entry Participant to deliver to the Depository the Conversion Notice on behalf of the Holder. Forthwith upon receipt by the Depository, the Depository shall deliver to the Transfer Agent confirmation of its intention to convert Series 2 Preferred Shares in a manner acceptable to the Transfer Agent, including by electronic means through a book based registration system, including CDSX. By causing a Book Entry Participant to deliver a Conversion Notice to the Depository, a Holder shall be deemed to have irrevocably surrendered his or her Series 2 Preferred Shares so converted and appointed such Book Entry Participant to act as his or her exclusive settlement agent with respect to the conversion of the Series 2 Preferred Shares and the receipt of Common Shares in connection with the obligations arising from such conversion. Any Conversion Notice which the Depository determines to be incomplete, not in proper form or not duly executed shall for all purposes be void and of no force and effect and the conversion to which it relates shall be considered for all purposes not to have been converted thereby. A failure by a Book Entry Participant to convert or to give effect to the settlement thereof in accordance with the Holder’s instructions will not give rise to any obligations or liability on the part of the Company or Transfer Agent to the Book Entry Participant or the Holder. 

(ii)Company’s Response. On or before the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date of receipt by the Company of the original certificates representing the Series 2 Preferred Shares subject to the Conversion Notice (in the case of Certificated Series 2 Preferred Shares) or a duly completed Conversion Notice (in the case of Uncertificated Series 2 Preferred Shares), the Company shall issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and delivered (via reputable overnight courier, as applicable) as specified in such Conversion Notice, a certificate, direct registration statement or electronic deposit, registered in the name of such Holder or its designee, for the number of Common Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled. In the case of Certificated Series 2 Preferred Shares, if the number of Series 2 Preferred Shares represented by the Series 2 Preferred Share certificate(s) submitted for conversion pursuant to this Section 4(c) is greater than the number of Series 2 Preferred Shares being converted, then the Company shall issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) a new Series 2 Preferred Share certificate representing the number of Series 2 Preferred Shares not converted. 

(iii)Record Holder. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Shares issuable upon a conversion of Series 2 Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Shares on the Conversion Date. 

(iv)Withholding Tax. The Company will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any conversion of Series 2 Preferred Shares, and to otherwise recover from the Holder the full amount of taxes or other additional amounts required to be deducted or withheld by the Company under applicable laws. 

5.Adjustments. 

(a)Adjustment of Conversion Rate upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Shares. If the Company at any time on or after the Initial Issuance Date subdivides (by any share split, share dividends, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Initial Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse share split or otherwise) its outstanding Common  


- 4 -


Shares into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 5 shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this Section 5 occurs during the period that a Conversion Rate is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Conversion Rate shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.

(b)Rights Upon Fundamental Transactions. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under these terms in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(b) pursuant to written agreements, agreeing to deliver to each holder of Series 2 Preferred Shares in exchange for each such Series 2 Preferred Shares a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to these terms and having similar ranking to the Series 2 Preferred Shares. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of these terms and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under these terms and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein and therein. In addition to the foregoing, upon consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to each Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion of the Series 2 Preferred Shares at any time after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the Common Shares (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Section 5(a), which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the conversion of the Series 2 Preferred Shares prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such publicly traded common shares (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) that each Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had all the Series 2 Preferred Shares held by each Holder been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Series 2 Preferred Shares contained herein), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions herein. The provisions of this Section 5(b) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Series 2 Preferred Shares. 

6.Authorized Common Shares. The Company shall reserve and authorize for issuance such number of Common Shares as required to satisfy the conversion of each Series 2 Preferred Share. So long as any of the Series 2 Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and authorize for issuance such number of Common Shares as required to satisfy the conversion of the number of outstanding Series 2 Preferred Shares, as of any given date, at the then applicable Conversion Rate. 

7.Voting Rights. Holders of Series 2 Preferred Shares shall have voting rights and are entitled to vote on a matter with holders of Common Shares (and Series 1 Preferred Shares if required by law or otherwise entitled to vote with the holders of Common Shares), voting together as one class. Each Series 2 Preferred Share shall entitle the holder thereof to cast that number of votes per share as is equal to the number of Common Shares into which it is then convertible using the record date for determining the shareholders of the Company eligible to vote on such matters as the date as of which the Conversion Rate is calculated. Holders of the Series 2 Preferred Shares shall be entitled to written notice of all shareholder meetings or  


- 5 -


written consents (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to shareholders), which notice shall be provided pursuant to the Company’s bylaws and applicable law.

8.Dividends. Holders of Series 2 Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, pro rata with the holders of Common Shares, any dividend or other distribution declared by the Company at the discretion of the Board of Directors, to the same extent as if such Holders had converted each Series 2 Preferred Share held by them into Common Shares and had held such Common Shares on the record date for such dividends and distributions. The Company will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any dividends paid in respect of Series 2 Preferred Shares, and to otherwise recover from the Holder, the full amount of taxes or other additional amounts required to be deducted or withheld by the Company under applicable laws. 

9.Liquidation. Dissolution, Winding-Up. In the event of a Liquidation Event, the Holders shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the Company, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its shareholders (the “Liquidation Funds”), before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any Junior Shares, an amount per Series 2 Preferred Share equal to the value such Holder would receive if such Holder converted such Series 2 Preferred Shares into Common Shares immediately prior to the date of such payment, provided that if the Liquidation Funds are insufficient to pay the full amount due to the Holders and holders of Parity Shares, then each Holder and each holder of Parity Shares shall receive a percentage of the Liquidation Funds equal to the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to such Holder and such holder of Parity Shares as a liquidation preference, in accordance with their respective terms, as a percentage of the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to all holders of Series 2 Preferred Shares and all holders of Parity Shares. To the extent necessary, the Company shall cause such actions to be taken by each of its Subsidiaries so as to enable, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the proceeds of a Liquidation Event to be distributed to the Holders in accordance with this Section 9. All the preferential amounts to be paid to the Holders under this Section 9 shall be paid or set apart for payment before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any Liquidation Funds of the Company to the holders of shares of Junior Shares in connection with a Liquidation Event as to which this Section 9 applies. 

10.Vote to Change the Terms of or Issue Series 2 Preferred Shares. In addition to any other rights provided by law, except where the vote or written consent of the holders of a greater number of shares is required by law or by another provision of the constating documents of the Company, without first obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of the Required Holders, voting together as a single class, the Company shall not: (a) amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, the constating documents of the Company, or file any certificate of amendment, if such action would adversely alter or change in any respect the preferences, rights, privileges or powers, or restrictions provided for the benefit, of the Series 2 Preferred Shares, regardless of whether any such action shall be by means of amendment to the constating documents of the Company or by merger, consolidation or otherwise. 

11.Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificates representing Series 2 Preferred Shares (as to which a written certification and the indemnification contemplated below shall suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of an indemnification undertaking by the applicable Holder to the Company in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and  


- 6 -


cancellation of the certificate(s), the Company shall execute and deliver new certificate(s) of like tenor and date.

12.Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in these terms shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under these terms, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and no remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy. Nothing herein shall limit any Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms hereof. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by a Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder may cause irreparable harm to the Holders and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, each Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to seek an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to a Holder that is reasonably requested by such Holder to enable such Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of these terms. 

13.Noncircumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its constating documents or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, plan of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms hereof, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of these terms and take all action as may be reasonably required to protect the rights of the Holders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of these terms, the Company (i) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares upon the conversion of Series 2 Preferred Shares and (ii) shall, so long as any Series 2 Preferred Shares are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series 2 Preferred Shares, the maximum number of Common Shares as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of the Series 2 Preferred Shares then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein). 

14.Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. 

15.Notices.. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified herein, shall be (i) personally served, (ii) deposited in the mail, registered or certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) delivered by reputable air courier service with charges prepaid, or (iv) transmitted by hand delivery, electronic mail, telegram, or facsimile, addressed as set forth below or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written notice.

The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Holders), a register for the Series 2 Preferred Shares, in which the Company shall record the name, address, electronic mail and facsimile number of the Persons in whose name the Series 2 Preferred Shares have been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may treat the Person in whose name any Series 2 Preferred Shares is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any properly made transfers. 

17.Shareholder Matters; Amendment.
