(b) The Company shall (i) comply with its obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) use reasonable best efforts and take all such steps as may reasonably be within its powers to otherwise implement to their full extent the provisions of this Agreement.
The parties hereto agree (i) that their intent is to grant to each of Harbinger and Pinnacle (and their respective Entity Affiliates) certain rights with respect to its investment as more particularly set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, and (ii) that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set out in the Existing Shareholders Agreement or the Supplemental Agreement, the respective rights and obligations of the Company and Harbinger (including its Entity Affiliates) vis-à-vis each other under the Existing Shareholders Agreement and Supplemental Agreement shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be subject and subordinate to the further agreements of the Company, Harbinger and Pinnacle set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Harbinger (i) agrees to waive its (A) right to consent to the actions referred to in Section 5.2 (l) and (m) of the Existing Shareholders Agreement, (B) “ROFR Right” (as such term is defined in the Existing Shareholders Agreement) under Section 6.2 thereof and its right of first refusal contained in the Series III Subscription Agreement dated July 13, 2010 between the Company and Harbinger II Sarl (as successor in interest to Harbinger Capital Investments Sarl) and (C) written approval rights under Section 7.1 and 7.2 of the Existing Shareholders Agreement; and (ii) acknowledges that, notwithstanding Section 6.6 of the Existing Agreement, it shall only be permitted to transfer Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(1) Subject to Section 2.1(a)(i)(A)(2), Harbinger and Pinnacle shall vote their respective Equity Securities so that the Board shall be composed of at least seven but no more than 12 directors, of which two directors shall be nominated by Pinnacle (unless the Board is comprised of 10 or more directors, in which event three directors shall be nominated by Pinnacle) (any director serving on behalf of Pinnacle, a “Pinnacle Director”), with the remaining directors being nominated by Harbinger (any director serving on behalf of Harbinger, a “Harbinger Director”) and shall vote their respective Equity Securities to elect such Pinnacle Directors and Harbinger Directors (including without limitation, the appointment of additional Harbinger Directors or Pinnacle Directors, if any and as applicable, immediately following the end of the Voting Period); provided, however, that Harbinger shall take all necessary action as promptly as practicable, including without limitation effecting an increase in the size of the Board or removal of some of the Harbinger Directors and causing the appointment of Pinnacle Directors, such that the number of Pinnacle Directors reflects the foregoing provision; provided, further, that any such appointment in furtherance of this Section 2.1(a)(i)(A)(1) shall only be permitted in accordance with the terms of the Constating Documents.
(2) Harbinger, as the Majority Party, shall have the sole right to recommend in writing any increase or decrease in the size of the Board between seven and 12 directors, and Pinnacle shall vote its Equity Securities so that the Board shall be comprised of such number of directors as recommended by Harbinger. In the event that the size of the Board is so increased or decreased, Harbinger shall vote its Equity Securities so that the number of Pinnacle Directors on the Board shall be in proportion to Pinnacle’s ownership percentage of the voting power of the Equity Securities on a Fully Diluted Basis, rounded up or down to the nearest whole number; provided, however, that in no event shall Harbinger vote its Equity Securities in a manner that would cause the number of Pinnacle Directors serving on the Board at any time to be less than two directors. In the event that the number of Pinnacle Directors on the Board at any time is less than its proportionate share based on Pinnacle’s ownership percentage of the voting power of the Equity Securities on a Fully Diluted Basis, rounded up or down to the nearest whole number, then Pinnacle shall have the right to require (exercisable by written notice to Harbinger) that Harbinger, as the Majority Party, take, and Harbinger shall take, all necessary action, including without limitation effectuating an increase in the size of the Board or removal of some of the Harbinger Directors and causing the appointment of additional Pinnacle Directors and voting its Equity Securities thereafter, such that the number of Pinnacle Directors reflects Pinnacle’s proportionate share of such voting power; provided, however, that in no event shall Harbinger vote its Equity Securities in a manner that would cause the number of Pinnacle Directors serving on the Board at any time to be less than two directors.
(B) At any time during which Harbinger is the Minority Party:
(1) Harbinger and Pinnacle shall vote their respective Equity Securities so that (x) the Board shall be composed of at least seven but no more than 12 directors, and (y) the number of directors nominated by each of Pinnacle and Harbinger in proportion to their then-respective ownership percentages of the voting power of the Equity Securities on a Fully Diluted Basis, rounded up or down to the nearest whole number.

(2) Pinnacle, as the Majority Party, shall have the sole right to recommend in writing any increase or decrease in the size of the Board between seven and 12 directors, and Harbinger, as the Minority Party, shall vote its Equity Securities so that the Board shall be comprised of such number of directors as recommended by Pinnacle. In the event that the size of the Board is so increased or decreased, Pinnacle shall vote its Equity Securities so that the number of Harbinger Directors on the Board shall be in proportion to Harbinger’s ownership percentage of the voting power of the Equity Securities on a Fully Diluted Basis, rounded up or down to the nearest whole number; provided, however, that in no event shall Pinnacle vote its Equity Securities in a manner that would cause the number of Harbinger Directors serving on the Board at any time to be less than two directors. In the event that the number of Harbinger Directors on the Board at any time is less than its proportionate share based on Harbinger’s ownership percentage of the voting power of the Equity Securities on a Fully Diluted Basis, rounded up or down to the nearest whole number, then Harbinger shall have the right to require (exercisable by written notice to Pinnacle) that Pinnacle, as the Majority Party, take, and Pinnacle shall take, all necessary action, including without limitation effectuating an increase in the size of the Board or removal of some of the Pinnacle Directors and causing the appointment of additional Harbinger Directors and voting its Equity Securities thereafter, such that the number of Harbinger Directors reflects Harbinger’s proportionate share of such voting power; provided, however, that in no event shall Pinnacle vote its Equity Securities in a manner that would cause the number of Harbinger Directors serving on the Board at any time to be less than two directors.
(ii) For the avoidance of doubt, neither Harbinger nor Pinnacle shall be required to vote their respective Equity Securities in the manner set forth in Section 2.1(a)(i) at any time during a Voting Period.
(b) Voting Period. From the date of this Agreement until Pinnacle Directors are appointed to the Board pursuant to Section 2.1(a), and during the duration of any Voting Period, then for so long as Pinnacle and its Entity Affiliates hold at least 7.5% of the outstanding voting power of the Equity Securities on a Fully Diluted Basis:
(i) Pinnacle Director. Harbinger and Pinnacle shall vote their respective Equity Securities so that the Board shall be composed of such number of directors as is set forth in Section 4.1(c) of the Existing Shareholders Agreement, of which six directors shall be nominated by Harbinger and shall vote their respective Equity Securities to elect such six nominees. From and after the date of this Agreement, Harbinger agrees to nominate, as one of such six directors, an individual proposed by Pinnacle in writing and to vote its Equity Securities to elect such Pinnacle nominee. In addition, following 90 days after the date of this Agreement, Harbinger agrees to nominate, as one of such six directors, a second individual proposed by Pinnacle in writing, such that following such time, Pinnacle shall have the right to designate in the aggregate two of such six directors and Harbinger shall vote its Equity Securities to elect such Pinnacle nominee. Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, Harbinger shall cause the initial appointment of each such Pinnacle nominee by removing a Harbinger-nominated director in each such case and replacing such director with a Pinnacle-designated nominee.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Pinnacle Board Observer may share all such information with PEI and its Entity Affiliates.
(B) In addition to any right to nominate directors in accordance with this Agreement, the Company shall invite and permit one representative designated by Harbinger for each director proposed by Pinnacle pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(ii)(A) to attend all duly called meetings of the Board and any committee thereof (whether in person, telephonically or otherwise) solely in a nonvoting observer capacity (a “Harbinger Board Observer”) and, in this respect, shall give the Harbinger Board Observer copies of all notices, minutes, consents, and other materials that the Company provides to its directors in connection with such meeting, provided that the Harbinger Board Observer shall enter into an agreement with the Company providing that the Harbinger Board Observer shall hold in confidence and trust all information provided to him or her or learned by him or her in connection with the observer rights described herein, except to the extent otherwise required by Applicable Law and any other regulatory process to which Harbinger is subject.

(vii) Timing. To the extent permitted, the election or designation of Harbinger’s and Pinnacle’s nominees as set forth above in this Section 2.1 will be effected as soon as practicable following designation of such nominees.
(viii) Termination of Board Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.1, if, at any time, the Minority Party (together with its Entity Affiliates) shall cease to own at least 7.5% of the voting power of the outstanding Equity Securities on a Fully Diluted Basis (other than as a result of falling below such threshold immediately following a Drag-Along Transaction under Section 3.3 herein, as applicable), then (A) such Minority Party shall cease to have the right to designate any director(s) or Board Observer pursuant to Section 2.1 and the Majority Party shall no longer have any obligation with respect to voting its Equity Securities accordingly, and (B) the Minority Party shall cause any and all of its directors to resign from the Board and any committees (or such director(s) shall be removed from the Board and any committees), as applicable, as soon as practicable and, in any case, prior to the date of the next Board or committee meeting or action by written consent. In addition, in the event that (x) Pinnacle is entitled to nominate Pinnacle Directors pursuant to Section 2.1(a), or (y) Harbinger is no longer required to nominate directors proposed by Pinnacle pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(i), the Company will no longer be required to invite the Pinnacle Board Observer or the Harbinger Board Observer(s), as the case may be, to any meetings of the Board or any committees thereof.
(ix) Subsidiary Boards.

Section 2.2 Pinnacle Advisor. In addition to Pinnacle’s right to appoint the Pinnacle Director(s) and a Board Observer, Pinnacle shall also have the right to appoint, at Pinnacle’s sole cost and expense, an employee of Pinnacle to serve in a senior advisory capacity at the Company, subject to any additional limitations that may be set forth in any management agreement related to the Ho Tram Project (the “Pinnacle Advisor”). For the avoidance of doubt, (a) the Pinnacle Advisor shall not be deemed to be an employee of the Company, (b) the Pinnacle Advisor shall not have the right to attend or observe any meetings of the Board or its committees unless and until requested by the Board (unless the Person serving as the Pinnacle Advisor is also a Pinnacle Director or Pinnacle Board Observer), except for the Operating Committee and the Executive Committee as respectively set forth in Sections 2.1(d)(ii)(B) and Section 2.1(d)(iii)(B), and (c) no action taken by the Pinnacle Advisor shall constitute the act of or otherwise serve to bind the Company.

Section 2.3 Access to Information.
(a) Books and Records.
(i) All books and records, including all records relating to or reflecting the operations of the Ho Tram Project or any other Company project, shall be (a) maintained at the principal executive offices of the Company, and (b) made available to Harbinger and Pinnacle, the Harbinger Director(s), the Pinnacle Director(s), the Pinnacle Board Observer and the Pinnacle Advisor for examination, audit, inspection, and copying at any time; provided, however, that the Board, following deliberations without any of the Pinnacle Director, Pinnacle Board Observer or Pinnacle Advisor in attendance, reserves the right to withhold any information and to exclude each Pinnacle Director, Pinnacle Board Observer or Pinnacle Advisor, as the case may be, from any meeting or portion thereof if access to such information or attendance at such meeting is presently or in the future restricted or prohibited by the terms and conditions of any management or other agreement relating to the Ho Tram Project or any other Company project (including, as of the date hereof, the MGM Management Agreement); provided, however, that the Board (excluding any Pinnacle Director, Pinnacle Board Observer or Pinnacle Advisor) shall instruct management to use its reasonable best efforts to identify and redact any prohibited or restricted information from any such agreement in an effort to make the remainder of such agreement available to Pinnacle, the Pinnacle Director(s), the Pinnacle Board Observer and the Pinnacle Advisor, and the Board (excluding any Pinnacle Director, Pinnacle Board Observer or Pinnacle Advisor) shall request that the other party to such management or other agreement agree to minimize or eliminate such restrictions and prohibitions. Upon termination of this Agreement or, if earlier, at such time as Pinnacle (together with its Entity Affiliates) no longer owns at least 7.5% of the outstanding voting power of the Equity Securities on a Fully Diluted Basis, all such books and records shall be turned over to the Company immediately and shall remain the property of the Company, subject to access by Pinnacle upon reasonable notice for examination, audit, inspection, and copying solely for purposes of Pinnacle’s accounting and tax requirements or the calculation and verification of amounts remaining due between the Company and Pinnacle following such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Agreement other than this Section 2.3(a) shall affect or limit the rights to access or inspect Company information and books and records that Pinnacle and the Pinnacle Director(s) may have under the applicable corporate laws of the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation or organization.

(ii) Tax Reporting. In addition, the Company shall keep adequate books and records and shall provide Harbinger and Pinnacle on a timely basis with access to such books and records and with such other information that either reasonably request to enable it to satisfy all its tax reporting obligations arising from its ownership of an interest in the Company and to make such tax elections as it deems appropriate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such information shall include (A) records of all distributions and other transactions of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (B) computations of income, earnings and profits, ordinary earnings, net capital gains, tax basis and foreign taxes, (C) PFIC Annual Information Statements as described in Section 1.1295-1(g) of the Treasury Regulations (or any successor Treasury Regulations) and any other information reasonably requested to enable Harbinger and/or Pinnacle and their respective Entity Affiliates to elect to treat the Company or any of its subsidiaries as a “QEF” under Section 1295 of the Code, to continue such qualification as a QEF and to satisfy the Harbinger’s and/or Pinnacle’s and their respective Entity Affiliates’ attendant reporting obligations, and (D) if the Company is or becomes a “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 957 of the Code, such information as the Harbinger and/or Pinnacle and their respective Entity Affiliates reasonably request to satisfy their tax reporting obligations. The Company shall engage U.S. tax advisors mutually acceptable to Harbinger and Pinnacle, and provide such assistance and cooperation as is reasonably necessary for such U.S. tax advisors to determine the tax basis, allocable share of income, earnings and profits, ordinary earnings, net capital gains, tax basis and foreign taxes and other tax attributes of the Company relevant to Harbinger’s and Pinnacle’s interest in the Company.
(b) Financial Reporting Requirements. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) deliver the financial information set forth below to Harbinger and Pinnacle (A) sufficiently prior to the applicable periodic reporting deadlines required under the Exchange Act so as to provide Pinnacle a reasonable amount of time in which to properly record, process and summarize such information in its filings with the SEC, but in no event will such information be delivered to Pinnacle later than the dates set forth below, and (B) in such form as reasonably requested by Pinnacle to comply with PEI’s Exchange Act reporting obligations, which shall mean, at a minimum, that the financial information shall either be presented in U.S. GAAP or in a manner to permit PEI to convert such information into U.S. GAAP without incurring material cost or delay, and (ii) make such financial information available to Harbinger’s or PEI’s outside independent auditor for examination, audit, inspection, and copying at any time, subject to Section 2.3(a):
(i) Monthly, unaudited management reports, within 30 days after the end of each month;
(ii) Quarterly unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company, within 40 days after the end of each fiscal quarter (and with respect to the quarterly unaudited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011, such information shall be provided to Pinnacle by August 15, 2011 on a preliminary basis and by October 6, 2011 in final form reflecting all audit adjustments in the 2010 audited financial statements), and if not made available by such dates, the Company shall provide to Pinnacle on a timely basis access to the auditor’s work papers and any and all proposed, recorded and past audit adjustments);

 

- 9 -

 

(iii) Annual consolidated financial statements of the Company accompanied by the audit report of the auditor within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year (and with respect to the annual consolidated financial statements and audit report of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010, such information shall be provided to Pinnacle by October 6, 2011, and if not made available by such date, the Company shall provide to Pinnacle on a timely basis access to the auditor’s work papers and any and all proposed, recorded and past audit adjustments); and
(iv) Such non-consolidated financial statements and reports as may be requested by Harbinger, acting reasonably;
provided, however, that in the event that PEI reports financial results and financial position of the Company as a consolidated subsidiary, then the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the foregoing financial information and access to PEI’s independent outside auditor on such shorter time frames as Pinnacle may reasonably specify taking into account PEI’s applicable periodic reporting obligations under the Exchange Act.
Section 2.4 Transfer of Certain Rights. Without the Majority Party’s express written consent (determined in the Majority Party’s sole discretion), the Minority Party shall not be permitted to assign or otherwise transfer to any Person, other than an Entity Affiliate, the Minority Party’s right to designate, as applicable, the Harbinger Directors, a Board Observer (including the Harbinger Board Observer), the Pinnacle Directors, or the Pinnacle Advisor, whether in connection with a Transfer of Securities permitted by Article 3 or otherwise.
ARTICLE 3

If the Minority Party exercises such right, the Company shall repurchase such Securities at an aggregate purchase price equal to the amount initially allocated thereto as of the date of the Minority Party’s purchase of such Securities (the “Purchase Price”). The form of consideration to be paid by the Company may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be either cash or one or more promissory notes issued to the Minority Party by the Company (A) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Purchase Price, (B) bearing no interest, (C) having a term of 36 months, and (D) which, subject to receipt of any approval required under any Gaming Laws, shall be secured by a first priority security interest, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Minority Party, in such Securities.

(3) In addition, at any time following the Non-Affected Party U.S. Cure Period, the Affected Party shall have the right to require the Company to purchase all, but not less than all, of its Securities. If the Affected Party exercises such right, the Company shall repurchase such Securities at the Purchase Price within 30 days of the exercise of such right. The form of consideration to be paid by the Company shall be cash; provided, however, the Company may, in its sole discretion, pay the consideration for such purchase by issuing one or more promissory notes to the Affected Party (a) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Purchase Price, (b) bearing no interest, (c) with the term (with payment in full being due on the last day of the term) being a period of time equal to five years; provided, however, that such 5-year term shall be reduced by that number of days that is equal to the number of days after the expiration of the Non-Affected Party U.S. Cure Period; provided, further, that in no event shall the period of such term be less than three years, and (d) which, subject to receipt of any approval required under any Gaming Laws, shall be secured by a first priority security interest, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Affected Party, in such Securities.

Section 3.2 Tag-Along Right. If either Harbinger (to the extent Harbinger does not elect to exercise its Drag-Along rights in full under Section 3.3) or Pinnacle or their respective Entity Affiliates (as the case may be, such party, together with its Entity Affiliates, is referred to as the “Transferring Seller”) proposes to Transfer any particular series or class of a Security (such specific series or class of Security, a “Tag-Along Security”) that it holds directly or indirectly to any Person other than an Entity Affiliate of Harbinger or Pinnacle, as the case may be (the “Third-Party Offeror”), in a bona fide transaction (the “Tag-Along Sale”), then the other party that is not the Transferring Seller, together with its Entity Affiliates (such other party, together with its Entity Affiliates, the “Tag-Along Party”), shall have the right to participate in all Transfers of Tag-Along Securities by the Transferring Seller to the Third-Party Offeror on the following terms and conditions:
(a) Mechanics.
(i) If the Transferring Seller has received an offer (including a preliminary indication of interest) relating to potential Tag-Along Sale, the Transferring Seller shall promptly, but no later than two Business Days following receipt of such offer (including a preliminary indication of interest) by the Third Party Offeror, notify the Tag-Along Party in writing (A) specifying (to the extent such information is known to the Transferring Seller) (i) the name and address of the Third-Party Offeror intending to purchase the Tag-Along Securities, (ii) the amount of Tag-Along Securities proposed to be purchased and the purchase price the Third-Party Offeror is willing to pay for such Tag-Along Securities to be purchased and the other material terms and conditions of the Tag-Along Sale, and (iii) that the Tag-Along Party has the rights provided under this Section 3.2 in respect of the proposed Tag-Along Sale and (B) attaching copies of any written documentation embodying or relating to such offer (the “Preliminary Tag-Along Notice”).
(ii) If such offer has developed into a reasonably definitive proposal for a Tag-Along Sale and the Transferring Seller intends to proceed with the Tag-Along Sale, the Transferring Seller shall promptly, but no later than two Business Days following receipt or conveyance of such reasonably definitive proposal, notify the Tag-Along Party in writing (A) specifying (i) the name and address of the Third-Party Offeror intending to purchase the Tag-Along Securities, (ii) the amount of Tag-Along Securities proposed to be purchased and the purchase price the Third-Party Offeror is willing to pay for such Tag-Along Securities to be purchased and the other material terms and conditions of the Tag-Along Sale, and (iii) that the Tag-Along Party has the rights provided under this Section 3.2 in respect of the proposed Tag-Along Sale and (B) attaching copies of all written documentation relating to such proposed Tag-Along Sale (the “Tag-Along Notice”).

 

- 19 -

 

(iii) The right of a Tag-Along Party to participate in a Tag-Along Sale may be exercised by delivery of a written notice to the Transferring Seller (the “Tag-Along Acceptance Notice”) within 20 Business Days following receipt of the Tag-Along Notice or, if later and if applicable, within 25 Business Days of receipt of Harbinger’s written notice to Pinnacle under Section 6.2(b)(ii)(B)(7)(b) of Harbinger’s or its Entity Affiliates’ proposed sale, Transfer or other disposition of Financing Securities. The Tag-Along Acceptance Notice shall state the number or amount of Tag-Along Securities that such Tag-Along Party wishes to include in such Tag-Along Sale to the Third-Party Offeror (which shall not be in excess of the applicable Pro Rata Tag-Along Portion). Upon the giving of a Tag-Along Acceptance Notice, such Tag-Along Party shall be entitled and obligated to sell the Tag-Along Securities set forth in the Tag-Along Acceptance Notice to the Third-Party Offeror on the terms set forth in the Tag-Along Notice, and the Transferring Seller shall not consummate the sale of any Tag-Along Securities to the Third Party Offeror if the Third Party Offeror does not purchase all Tag-Along Securities which each Tag-Along Party desires to sell (which shall not be in excess of the applicable Pro Rata Tag-Along Portion or the Adjusted Harbinger Pro Rata Tag Along Portion) pursuant to this Section 3.2.
(b) Amount to be Sold. The Tag-Along Party shall be entitled to sell to the Third-Party Offeror, in conjunction with the closing of the Third-Party Offeror’s purchase of Tag-Along Securities from the Transferring Seller, up to that portion of its Tag-Along Securities determined by:
(i) with respect to Tag-Along Securities other than Company Debt, multiplying (A) the number of Tag-Along Securities that are held by the Tag-Along Party by (B) the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the number of Tag-Along Securities to be sold to the Third-Party Offeror by the Transferring Seller by (2) the total number of Tag-Along Securities then held by the Transferring Seller; provided, however, that in the event that Pinnacle and/or one or more of its Entity Affiliates is the Transferring Seller and immediately prior to the consummation of any such Tag Along Sale Harbinger is the Majority Party, Harbinger and its Entity Affiliates shall only be permitted to Transfer 50% of the total number of Tag-Along Securities to be sold to the Third-Party Offeror that Harbinger and its Entity Affiliates would otherwise have been permitted to Transfer in such Tag-Along Sale under the formula described in this sentence excluding this proviso (the “Adjusted Harbinger Pro Rata Tag Along Portion”);
(ii) with respect to Company Debt, multiplying (A) the principal amount of outstanding Company Debt held by and accrued and unpaid interest owed to the Tag-Along Party by (B) the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the principal amount of outstanding Company Debt to be sold to the Third-Party Offeror by the Transferring Seller by (2) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Company Debt held by and accrued and unpaid interest owed to the Transferring Seller; and

(iii) the Transferring Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to include in the proposed Tag-Along Sale to the Third-Party Offeror all of the Tag-Along Securities that the Tag-Along Party has requested to have included pursuant to the applicable Tag-Along Acceptance Notice, it being understood that the Third-Party Offeror shall not be required to purchase Tag-Along Securities in excess of the number set forth in the Tag-Along Notice. In the event the Third-Party Offeror elects to purchase less than all of the Tag-Along Securities sought to be sold by the Transferring Seller and the Tag-Along Party, the number of Tag-Along Securities to be Transferred to the Third-Party Offeror by the Transferring Seller and the Tag-Along Party shall be reduced so that each such shareholder is entitled to sell its Pro Rata Tag-Along Portion of the number of Tag-Along Securities the Third-Party Offeror elects to purchase (which in no event may be less than the number of Securities set forth in the Tag-Along Notice). For purposes of this Section 3.2, the “Pro Rata Tag-Along Portion” shall mean:
(A) Tag Along Securities other than Company Debt: with respect to the number of Tag-Along Securities other than Company Debt to be sold by each shareholder (whether the Transferring Seller or the Tag-Along Party, as the case may be), the number of Tag-Along Securities other than Company Debt equal to the product of (1) the total number of Tag-Along Securities that the Third-Party Offeror proposes to purchase and (2) a fraction (x) the numerator of which is equal to the number of Tag-Along Securities then held by such shareholder and (y) the denominator of which is equal to the number of Tag-Along Securities then held collectively by the Transferring Seller and the Tag-Along Party; provided, however, that in the event that Pinnacle and/or one or more of its Entity Affiliates is the Transferring Seller and immediately prior to the consummation of any such Tag Along Sale Harbinger is the Majority Party, Harbinger and its Entity Affiliates shall only be permitted to Transfer the Adjusted Harbinger Pro Rata Tag Along Portion (but for purposes of applying that definition in this section, using the formula described in this sentence excluding this proviso); and
(B) Company Debt: with respect to the amount of Company Debt to be sold by each shareholder (whether the Transferring Seller or the Tag-Along Party, as the case may be), the amount of Company Debt equal to the product of (1) the total amount of outstanding Company Debt that the Third-Party Offeror proposes to purchase and (2) a fraction (x) the numerator of which is equal to the principal amount of outstanding Company Debt held by and accrued and unpaid interest owed to such shareholder and (y) the denominator of which is equal to the principal amount of outstanding Company Debt held by and accrued and unpaid interest owed collectively to the Transferring Seller and the Tag-Along Party.
(c) Consideration to be Received. The consideration to be received by the Tag-Along Party shall be the same form and amount of consideration per Tag-Along Security to be received by the Transferring Seller, and the terms and conditions of the Tag-Along Sale shall be the same as those upon which the Transferring Seller sells its Tag-Along Securities.

(ii) Each Tag-Along Party shall execute and deliver all agreements and other documents as the Transferring Seller executes and delivers in connection with the Tag-Along Sale if so required by the Transferring Seller.
(e) Fees and Expenses. Harbinger and Pinnacle shall each pay its own fees and expenses incurred in connection with a Tag-Along Sale under this Section 3.2, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the Third-Party Offeror.
(f) Application of Tag-Along.
(i) This Section 3.2 shall not apply to any Transfer of Equity Securities in a Drag-Along Transaction for which the Transferring Seller shall have elected to exercise its rights under Section 3.3 or an Exit Sale for which Pinnacle shall have elected to exercise its rights under Section 3.4 (except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in Section 3.4) or to a Transfer described in Section 3.1(a) hereof or in Section 3.1(c)(vi) hereof.

that the Transferring Seller seeks to Transfer Derivative Instruments pursuant to this Section 3.2, the Tag Along Party shall have the right to participate in such Transfer of Derivative Instruments by Transferring to the Third Party Offeror the number or amount of Derivative Instruments and/or Securities underlying such Derivative Instruments as calculated under Section 3.2(b)(i) or 3.2(b)(iii), as applicable; provided, that for purposes of that calculation, Securities underlying such Derivative Instruments and such Derivative Instruments shall be treated as equivalent Tag Along Securities. The consideration to be received by the Tag Along Party in this context shall be the same form and amount of consideration (as adjusted, as necessary, to account for the lack of an exercise price associated with the Securities underlying such Derivative Instruments being Transferred and to account for the value per unit of the Securities underlying such Derivative Instrument where such Derivative Instrument is exercisable for or relates to more than one unit of the Securities underlying such Derivative Instrument) per Tag Along Security to be received by the Transferring Seller, and the terms and conditions of the Tag Along Sale shall be the same as those upon which the Transferring Seller sells its Tag-Along Securities.
Section 3.3 Drag-Along Right.
(a) General.
(i) If Harbinger by itself or together with any other holder(s) of Equity Securities proposes to Transfer Equity Securities which collectively represent more than 50% of the outstanding voting power of Equity Securities on a Fully Diluted Basis in a single or series of substantially related transactions to an unaffiliated third party (a “Drag-Along Transaction”), then if requested by Harbinger, Pinnacle shall be required to sell its Pro Rata Drag-Along Portion of its Equity Securities in the Drag-Along Transaction pursuant to this Section 3.3. For purposes hereof, the “Pro Rata Drag-Along Portion” means that portion of Securities determined by multiplying (A) the number of Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis that are held by Pinnacle by (B) the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the number of Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis to be sold to the purchaser by Harbinger (and such other holders, as applicable) by (2) the total number of Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis then held by Harbinger (and such other holders, as applicable).
(ii) Without limiting the foregoing, (A) if the proposed Drag-Along Transaction is structured as a sale of assets or a merger, amalgamation, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, recapitalization or similar corporate transaction or otherwise requires approval of Company shareholders, Pinnacle will vote or cause to be voted all Securities that it holds or with respect to which Pinnacle has the power to direct the voting and which are entitled to vote on such transaction in favor of such transaction and will waive any appraisal, dissenters’ or similar rights which Pinnacle may have in connection therewith, (B) if the proposed Drag-Along Transaction is structured as or involves a sale, redemption, reorganization or recapitalization of Equity Securities, Pinnacle agrees to sell its Pro Rata Drag-Along Portion of the Equity Securities being sold in such Drag-Along Transaction on the terms and conditions approved by Harbinger, and (C) if directed by Harbinger, Pinnacle will exercise or convert, as applicable, all options, warrants or other rights to purchase or subscribe for Equity Securities or into Equity Securities held by Pinnacle.

(b) Closing. Harbinger shall provide written notice (the “Drag-Along Notice”) to Pinnacle not later than the date of acceptance of the Drag-Along Transaction by Harbinger and in any event not later than 15 Business Days prior to the closing date of the Drag-Along Transaction. The Drag-Along Notice shall set forth the consideration to be paid by the purchaser for the Equity Securities, the identity of the purchaser, and the material terms of the Drag-Along Transaction.
(c) Consideration to be Received.
(i) In the event that immediately prior to the consummation of any Drag-Along Transaction, Pinnacle (together with its Entity Affiliates) owns 10% or less of the outstanding voting power of Equity Securities on a Fully Diluted Basis, then the consideration to be received by Pinnacle pursuant to such Drag-Along Transaction shall be solely in the form of cash, regardless of the form of consideration per Equity Security to be received by Harbinger based on the transaction value per Equity Security designated in the applicable Drag-Along Transaction.
(ii) In the event that immediately prior to the consummation of a Drag-Along Transaction in which some or all of the consideration to be received by Harbinger and Pinnacle is non-cash consideration, Pinnacle (together with its Entity Affiliates) owns in excess of 10% of the outstanding voting power of Equity Securities on a Fully Diluted Basis, then the consideration to be received by Pinnacle shall be the same form and amount of consideration per Equity Security to be received by Harbinger, and the terms and conditions of such sale shall be the same as those upon which Harbinger sells its Equity Securities.
(A) Notwithstanding the foregoing in Section 3.3(c)(ii), Pinnacle shall have the right, with respect to one-half of the aggregate non-cash consideration that Pinnacle is compelled to receive pursuant to such Drag-Along Transaction, to require Harbinger to purchase in cash from Pinnacle up to US$75,000,000 of the non-cash consideration received by Pinnacle based on the transaction value per Equity Security designated in the applicable Drag-Along Transaction. In order to exercise this right, Pinnacle must provide Harbinger with written notice within 10 Business Days following the date the Drag-Along Notice is received by Pinnacle pursuant to Section 3.3(b), or otherwise Pinnacle shall be deemed to have forfeited any rights to require such purchase. In lieu of making any cash payment otherwise required to be made by Harbinger to Pinnacle pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (A), Harbinger shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deliver one or more promissory notes to Pinnacle issued by Harbinger (1) having an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of such cash payment otherwise so required, (2) bearing a rate of interest equal to 2% per annum, (3) having a term of no later than 120 days from the closing date of the Drag-Along Transaction, (4) containing such terms and conditions (in addition to the aforementioned principal amount, interest rate and term) as Harbinger determines is or could be reasonably imposed by a financial institution lending to Harbinger on an unrelated basis, and (5) which shall be secured by a first priority security interest, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Pinnacle, in the non-cash consideration purchased by Harbinger from Pinnacle.

(b) In the event that, pursuant to Section 3.5, Pinnacle (together with any of its Entity Affiliates) consummates an Exit Sale to an unaffiliated third party, then Harbinger shall retain its right to elect to be a Tag-Along Party in such Exit Sale so long as Pinnacle (together with its Entity Affiliates) is selling less than 100% of its Securities in such Exit Sale, and (i) in the event that Harbinger is at such time the Majority Party, Harbinger shall be entitled to sell to the Exit Sale Purchaser up to that portion of Harbinger’s Securities equal to the Adjusted Harbinger Pro Rata Tag-Along Portion, and (ii) in the event that Harbinger is at such time the Minority Party, Harbinger shall be entitled to sell to the Exit Sale Purchaser up to that portion of Harbinger’s Securities equal to its Pro Rata Tag-Along Portion.

Unless and until definitive documentation providing for the terms and conditions of a ROFN Transaction is executed and delivered by all parties thereto, (i) the ROFN Seller, except with respect to its obligation to negotiate in good faith on an exclusive basis as set forth above, shall have no obligation or liability whatsoever to the ROFN Buyer with respect to any ROFN Transaction, including any obligation to enter into either a non-binding term sheet or letter of intent, or definitive documentation, providing for the terms and conditions of the ROFN Transaction, and (ii) the ROFN Buyer shall not have any claim of any nature whatsoever (including any claim for breach of contract or detrimental reliance) in connection therewith.

PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS
Section 4.1 Preemptive Rights.
(a) The Company grants to each of Harbinger and Pinnacle (together with their respective Entity Affiliates) separately the right to purchase up to its Pro Rata Preemptive Portion of all or any part of Preemptive Securities that the Company from time to time after the date hereof proposes to issue, or to grant an option or other right for the purchase or subscription for; provided, however, that at the relevant time, such shareholder (i) solely with respect to the issuance by the Company of Equity Securities (and, for the avoidance of doubt, this clause (i) of this proviso shall not apply to the extent that an issuance by the Company of Securities consists of Debt of the Company, or other interest or participation in Debt of the Company, or any combination of any of the foregoing), continues to hold together with its Entity Affiliates at least that number of Equity Securities as is equal to the lesser of (A) 50% of the Equity Securities that are owned by such shareholder and its Entity Affiliates immediately following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Pinnacle Subscription Agreement, and (B) 7.5% of the total amount of Equity Securities outstanding on a Fully Diluted Basis on such date immediately prior to such issuance, and (ii) is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act) (each such shareholder, together with its Entity Affiliates, a “Preemptive Person”).
(i) For purposes of this Article 4, “Pro Rata Preemptive Portion” means, with respect to any Preemptive Person, on any issuance date for Preemptive Securities, the amount of Preemptive Securities equal to the product of:

 

- 28 -

 

(A) New Class or Series of Preemptive Securities: With respect to the issuance of a new class or series of Preemptive Securities not previously issued by the Company (a “New Class of Securities”), the product of (x) the total number or amount of such Preemptive Securities to be issued by the Company on such date, multiplied by (y) a fraction (1) the numerator of which is equal to the total number of Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis then held by such Preemptive Person immediately prior to such issuance of Preemptive Securities and (2) the denominator of which is equal to the total number of Common Shares held by Harbinger and Pinnacle (together with their respective Entity Affiliates) outstanding on such date immediately prior to such issuance on a Fully Diluted Basis.
(B) “Add-On” Securities: With respect to the issuance of Preemptive Securities that are of a class or series previously issued by the Company prior to the issuance of such Preemptive Securities (excluding the Common Shares, the calculation for which is set forth below in Section 4.1(a)(i)(C)) (“Add-On Securities”), the product of (x) the total number or amount of such Preemptive Securities to be issued by the Company on such date, multiplied by (y) a fraction (1) the numerator of which is equal to the total number of such Preemptive Securities of such class or series, if any, then held by such Preemptive Person immediately prior to such issuance of such Preemptive Securities, and (2) the denominator of which is equal to the total number of all such Preemptive Securities of such class or series outstanding on such date immediately prior to such issuance on a Fully Diluted Basis; provided, however, that Add-On Securities that are convertible into Common Shares shall be treated as Securities of such previously issued class or series rather than as the Common Shares into which such Add-On Securities are convertible.
(C) Common Shares: With respect to the issuance of additional Common Shares, the product of (x) the total number or amount of such Preemptive Securities to be issued by the Company on such date, multiplied by (y) a fraction (1) the numerator of which is equal to the total number of Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis then held by such Preemptive Person immediately prior to such issuance of Preemptive Securities and (2) the denominator of which is equal to the total number of Common Shares held by Harbinger and Pinnacle (together with their respective Entity Affiliates) outstanding on such date immediately prior to such issuance on a Fully Diluted Basis.
(b) The number or amount of Preemptive Securities that the Preemptive Persons may purchase pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be referred to as the “Preemptive Security Purchase Securities”. The purchase right provided in this Section 4.1 shall apply at the time of issuance of any right, warrant, or option or convertible or exchangeable security and not to the conversion, exchange or exercise thereof. Except as expressly provided in this Article 4 or Section 6.2(b)(ii)(B), Pinnacle shall not have preemptive rights.
(c) The Company shall give written notice of a proposed issuance or sale described in Section 4.1(a) to the Preemptive Persons within five Business Days after any such issuance or sale is duly approved by the Board and at least 25 Business Days prior to the proposed issuance or sale. Such notice (the “Issuance Notice”) shall set forth the material terms and conditions of such proposed transaction, including the proposed manner of disposition, the number or amount and description of the Preemptive Securities proposed to be issued, the proposed issuance date, and the proposed purchase price per security, as applicable. Such notice shall also be accompanied by any written offer from a prospective purchaser to purchase such Preemptive Securities.

(d) At any time during the 25-Business Day period following the receipt of an Issuance Notice, each Preemptive Person shall have the right to elect irrevocably (except as provided in the proviso to this sentence) to purchase its Pro Rata Preemptive Portion of the number of Preemptive Security Purchase Securities, at the purchase price set forth in the Issuance Notice and upon the other terms and conditions specified in the Issuance Notice by delivering a written notice to the Company, provided that if there is a material change in the terms of the Preemptive Securities, the Company shall give written notice of such change as promptly as practicable to the Preemptive Persons, in which case any Preemptive Person may revoke any such election made by such Preemptive Person by delivering a written notice to the Company. Except as provided in Section 4.1(c), such purchase shall be consummated concurrently with the consummation of the issuance or sale described in the Issuance Notice.
(e) If any Preemptive Person fails to exercise fully its right to purchase its Pro Rata Preemptive Portion of all or any part of Preemptive Securities within the periods described above, the Company shall be free to complete the proposed issuance or sale of the Preemptive Securities described in the Issuance Notice (including by selling such Preemptive Securities to Harbinger or Pinnacle) with respect to which the Preemptive Persons failed to exercise the right set forth in this Section 4.1 on terms no less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Issuance Notice (except that the number of securities to be issued or sold may be reduced); provided that (i) such issuance or sale is closed within 90 days after the date the related Issuance Notice was given, and (ii) the price and other material terms at which the Preemptive Securities are issued or sold must be equal to or higher than the purchase price and on terms no less favorable than the material terms described in the Issuance Notice. In the event that the Company has not sold such Preemptive Securities within such 90-day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any Preemptive Securities, without first again offering such securities to Harbinger and Pinnacle in the manner provided in this Section 4.1.
(f) For the avoidance of doubt, any exercise of a Harbinger’s preemptive rights may be subject to Pinnacle’s consent rights as and solely to the extent applicable under Section 6.2.
(g) In addition to the preemptive rights set forth in this Article 4, the Company agrees to negotiate in good faith with Harbinger and Pinnacle to grant Harbinger and Pinnacle (together with their respective Entity Affiliates) separately the right to purchase up to its Pro Rata Preemptive Portion (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) of all or any part of an issuance of securities of a Subsidiary that is not wholly owned by the Company that such non-wholly owned Subsidiary from time to time after the date hereof proposes to issue, or to grant an option or other right for the purchase or subscription therefor. For the avoidance of doubt, there shall not be any preemptive rights granted to Harbinger and or Pinnacle (or their respective Entity Affiliates) with respect to any securities issued at any time by a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company.

Harbinger agrees, on behalf of itself and its Entity Affiliates, that, except for the preemptive rights contained in this Article 4, Harbinger and its Entity Affiliates will not assert, or seek to exercise in any way, any preemptive rights or other rights (including rights of first offer to rights of first refusal) to subscribe for or purchase additional Securities that Harbinger or its Entity Affiliates may have under any other agreements, arrangements, understandings or rights existing as of the date hereof (including, without limitation, under subscription agreements, the Existing Shareholders Agreement, or at law or under the Constating Documents) with the Company or any other parties.
ARTICLE 5

The Company shall not confer upon any Person (whether pursuant to a shareholders agreement or otherwise) any registration rights or similar benefits with respect to Common Shares being registered under the Exchange Act or Common Shares becoming listed or traded on a stock exchange or stock market unless the Company delivers to Harbinger and Pinnacle notice thereof and concurrently provides Harbinger and Pinnacle with equal or more favorable registration rights and benefits (such rights and benefits to be granted to Harbinger and Pinnacle in proportion to their then relative ownership of Securities).

(b) Pinnacle and its Entity Affiliates may make disclosures to third Persons (including, but not limited to, disclosures to security analysts or made during earnings calls) regarding Confidential Information or such other information about the Company so long as the disclosure of any such information is mutually agreed to in writing from time to time by Pinnacle, the Company and Harbinger.

(ii) Upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event other than a Qualified IPO:
(A) the provisions of Article 2, Article 3 and Article 4 shall terminate if the managing underwriter advises the Company in good faith that, in its view, the survival of any of Article 2, Article 3 or Article 4 following the consummation of such offering would materially impair its ability to recognize fair value for the Common Shares to be offered; and
(B) all other provisions of this Agreement shall survive the consummation of a such Liquidity Event and continue in effect.
(b) If either Harbinger or Pinnacle no longer directly or indirectly has any beneficial interest in any Equity Securities and is otherwise not in default of this Agreement, then from that point forward such Person shall be deemed to no longer be a party to this Agreement; provided, further, that where such a Person disposed of its Equity Securities in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement it shall be entitled to the benefit of and be bound by the rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement in respect of any matter occurring prior to such disposition.

Section 10.3 Waiver. The failure of a party in any one or more instances to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege arising under it shall not preclude it from requiring by reasonable notice that any other party duly perform its obligations or preclude it from exercising such a right or privilege under reasonable circumstances, nor shall waiver in any one instance of a breach be construed as an amendment of this Agreement or waiver of any later breach. A party’s failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right.
Section 10.4 Assignment.
(a) The Company shall not assign this Agreement or its interest herein or any part hereof except with the prior written consent of the Majority Party and the Minority Party. Harbinger and Pinnacle shall not assign this Agreement except in the manner expressly contemplated herein.

It is accordingly agreed that each of the Company and each non-breaching shareholder shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions or such other equitable relief as may be deemed proper by a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent breaches by any shareholder party or the Company to this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement applicable to any such shareholder or the Company, this being in addition to any other remedy or relief to which each such party is entitled under Applicable Law or in equity, and that neither any shareholder or the Company shall resist an application for such injunction, injunctions, or other equitable relief on the ground that the Company or any other shareholder has an adequate remedy under Applicable Law. In the event that the Company, Harbinger or Pinnacle shall file suit to enforce the covenants contained in this Agreement (or obtain any other remedy in respect of any breach thereof), the prevailing party in the suit shall be entitled to recover, in addition to all other damages to which it may be entitled, the costs incurred by such party in conducting the suit, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses.

  (b)   Harbinger will own 70 Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis.
 
  (c)   Pinnacle will own 26 Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis.

  (ii)   Pinnacle will own (A) 27% of the Common Shares collectively held by Harbinger and Pinnacle and (B) 26% of the Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis.
  (e)   For purposes of this Schedule 6.2(b)(ii)(B), the terms “Harbinger” and “Pinnacle” shall include their respective Entity Affiliates that own Equity Securities.

  (A)   100 Common Shares issued by the Company in Issuance 1 multiplied by

minus
  (B)   13.54 Common Shares that Pinnacle purchased from the Company in Issuance 2.

(5)   On the second anniversary of Issuance 1, the Company issues Add-On Securities by issuing another 100 Series VI Special Shares (“Issuance 3”).
  (a)   Harbinger fully exercises its preemptive rights under Article 4, and as a result of the calculations set forth in Section 4.1(a)(i)(B) and taking into account the Look Back Rights exercised above, acquires 64.77 Series VI Special Shares from the Company in Issuance 3.
  (i)   i.e., 64.77 Series VI Special Shares equals:
  (A)   100 Series VI Special Shares issued by the Company in Issuance 3 multiplied by
 
  (B)   a fraction, the numerator of which is 129.53 Series VI Special Shares held by Harbinger prior to Issuance 3 and the denominator of which is 200 Series VI Special Shares issued and outstanding on a Fully Diluted Basis prior to Issuance 3.
  (b)   Pinnacle fully exercises its preemptive rights under Article 4, and as a result of the calculations set forth in Section 4.1(a)(i)(B), acquires 14.92 Series VI Special Shares from the Company in Issuance 3.
  (i)   i.e., 14.92 Series VI Special Shares equals:
  (A)   100 Series VI Special Shares issued by the Company in Issuance 3 multiplied by
 
  (B)   a fraction, the numerator of which is 29.84 Common Shares held by Pinnacle prior to Issuance 3 and the denominator of which is 200 Series VI Special Shares issued and outstanding on a Fully Diluted Basis prior to Issuance 3.
  (c)   The remaining Series VI Special Shares from Issuance 3 (i.e., 20.31 Series VI Special Shares) are acquired by stockholders other than Harbinger or Pinnacle.

Nothing in this certificate or in the holding of the Warrants evidenced hereby, on its own, shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder any right or interest whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company.
9. No Obligation to Purchase
Nothing herein contained or done pursuant hereto shall obligate the Holder to purchase or pay for, or the Company to issue, any shares except those Common Shares in respect of which the Holder shall have exercised its right to purchase hereunder in the manner provided herein.
10. Covenants
(a)   The Company covenants and agrees that:
  (i)   so long as any Warrants evidenced hereby remain outstanding, it shall reserve and there shall remain unissued out of its authorized capital a sufficient number of Common Shares to satisfy the right of purchase herein provided for should the Holder determine to exercise its rights in respect of all the Common Shares for the time being called for by such outstanding Warrants; and
 
  (ii)   all Common Shares which shall be issued upon the exercise of the right to purchase herein provided for, upon payment therefor of the amount at which such Common Shares may at the time be purchased pursuant to the provisions hereof, shall be issued as fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares and the holders thereof shall not be liable to the Company or to its creditors in respect thereof.
11. Adjustment
If, at any time:

 

-5-

 

(a)   the Corporation
  (i)   subdivides (or redivides or changes) (A) the Common Shares or Common Special Shares into a greater number of shares, or (B) securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares or Common Special Shares into a greater number of shares or into securities exchangeable or convertible into a greater number of shares (other than any subdivision, redivision or change which is effected as a result of an automatic adjustment mechanism under such securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares or Common Special Shares); or
 
  (ii)   consolidates (or reduces or combines) (A) the Common Shares or Common Special Shares into a lesser number of shares, or (B) securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares or Common Special Shares into a lesser number of shares or into securities exchangeable or convertible into a lesser number of shares (other than any consolidation, reduction or combination which is effected as a result of an automatic adjustment mechanism under such securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares or Common Special Shares); or
 
  (iii)   issues Common Shares or Common Special Shares, or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares or Common Special Shares, to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares or Common Special Shares by way of stock dividend or other distribution, or
 
  (iv)   issues Common Shares or Common Special Shares for no additional consideration to any one or more holders of Common Shares or Common Special Shares, respectively,
    the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price most recently in effect prior to such event by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares and Common Special Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares and Common Special Shares outstanding immediately after such event (including, in the case where securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares or Common Special Shares are distributed, the number of Common Shares or Common Special Shares that would have been outstanding had all such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares or Common Special Shares, as applicable, immediately after such event). Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 11(a), the number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying the number of Common Shares which were theretofore issuable on the exercise of this Warrant by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares and Common Special Shares outstanding immediately after such event (including, in the case where securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares or Common Special Shares are distributed, the number of Common Shares or Common Special Shares that would have been outstanding had all such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares or Common Special Shares, as applicable, immediately after such event) and the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares and Common Special Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event ; or

 

-6-

 

(b)   there is a consolidation, merger or amalgamation of the Company with or into another body corporate including a transaction whereby all or substantially all of the Company’s undertaking and assets become the property of any other corporation (any such event being herein called a “Capital Reorganization”), the Holder, upon exercising this Warrant after the effective date of such Capital Reorganization, will be entitled to receive in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which such Holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise, the aggregate number of shares, other securities or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which the Holder was theretofore entitled upon exercise of this Warrant. If determined appropriate by action of the directors of the Company, appropriate adjustments will be made as a result of any such Capital Reorganization in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 11 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 11 will thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be in relation to any shares, other securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. Any such adjustment must be made by and set forth in an amendment to this Warrant approved by the Holder and the Company and will for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.
12. Rules Regarding Calculation of Adjustment
(a)   No adjustment will be made in respect of any event described in Section 11 if the Holder is entitled to participate in the Capital Reorganization on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as if the Holder had exercised this Warrant prior to or on the effective date or record date of such event.
 
(b)   If at any time a dispute arises with respect to adjustments provided for in Section 11, such dispute will be conclusively determined by a firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by action by the Holder and the Company and any such determination, where required, will be binding upon the Company, the Holder and shareholders of the Company. The Company will provide such auditors or accountants with access to all necessary records of the Company.
 
(c)   In case the Company after the date of issuance of this Warrant takes any action affecting the Common Shares or the Common Special Shares, as applicable, other than action described in Section 11, which in the opinion of the board of directors of the Company would materially affect the rights of the Holder, the number of Common Shares to which the Holder will be entitled hereunder and the number of additional Common Shares which forms the basis of contingent entitlement hereunder, will be adjusted in an equitable manner as agreed to by the Holder and the Company, both acting reasonably.

 

-7-

 

(d)   As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require any adjustment to this Warrant, the Company must take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company have unissued and reserved in its authorized capital and may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all the shares or other securities which the Holder is entitled to receive on the full exercise thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof.
 
(e)   The Company will from time to time, immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in Section 11, forthwith give notice to the Holder specifying the event requiring such adjustment or readjustment and the results thereof.
 
(f)   The Company covenants to and in favour of the Holder that so long as this Warrant remains outstanding, it will give notice to the Holder of its intention to fix a record date for any event referred to in Section 11 which may give rise to an adjustment, and, in each case, such notice must specify the particulars of such event and the record date and the effective date for such event; provided that the Company is only required to specify in such notice such particulars of such event as have been fixed and determined on the date on which such notice is given. Such notice shall be given not less than 10 Business Days prior to each such applicable record date or effective date.
13. Consolidation and Amalgamation
(a)   The Company shall not enter into any transaction whereby all or substantially all of its undertaking, property and assets would become the property of any other corporation (herein called a “successor corporation”) whether by way of reorganization, reconstruction, consolidation, amalgamation, merger, transfer, sale, disposition or otherwise, including without limitation a Capital Reorganization, unless prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of such transaction the Company and the successor corporation shall have executed such instruments and done such things as, in the opinion of counsel to the Holder, are necessary or advisable to establish that upon the consummation of such transaction:
  (i)   the successor corporation will have assumed all the covenants and obligations of the Company under this Warrant;
 
  (ii)   the Warrant will be a valid and binding obligation of the successor corporation entitling the Holder, as against the successor corporation, to all the rights of the Holder under this Warrant; and

 

-8-

 

  (iii)   any adjustments required to be made pursuant to Section 11 or Section 12 shall be the subject of a binding agreement between the Holder and the successor corporation.
(b)   Whenever the conditions of subsection 13(a) shall have been duly observed and performed the successor corporation shall possess, and from time to time may exercise, each and every right and power of the Company under this Warrant in the name of the Company or otherwise and any act or proceeding by any provision hereof required to be done or performed by any director or officer of the Company may be done and performed with like force and effect by the like directors or officers of the successor corporation.
14. Representation and Warranty
The Company hereby represents and warrants with and to the Holder that the Company is duly authorized and has the corporate and lawful power and authority to create and issue this Warrant and the Common Shares issuable or potentially issuable upon the exercise hereof, and to perform its obligations hereunder and that this Warrant represents a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms.
15. If Share Transfer Books Closed
The Company shall not be required to deliver certificates for Common Shares while the share transfer books of the Company are properly closed, prior to any meeting of shareholders or for the payment of dividends or for any other purpose and in the event of the surrender of any Warrant in accordance with the provisions hereof and the making of any subscription and payment for the Common Shares called for thereby during any such period delivery of certificates for Common Shares may be postponed for not exceeding five (5) Business Days after the date of the closing of said share transfer books. Provided however that any such postponement of delivery of certificates shall be without prejudice to the right of the Holder, if the Holder has surrendered the same and made payment during such period, to receive such certificates for the Common Shares called for after the share transfer books have been re-opened.
16. Protection of Shareholders, Officers and Directors
Subject as herein provided, all or any of the rights conferred upon the Holder may be enforced by the Holder by appropriate legal proceedings. No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement herein contained or in any of the Warrants represented hereby shall be taken against any shareholder, officer or director of the Company, either directly or through the Company, it being expressly agreed and declared that the obligations under the Warrants evidenced hereby, are solely corporate obligations of the Company and that no personal liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by the shareholders, officers, or directors of the Company or any of them in respect thereof, any and all rights and claims against every such shareholder, officer or director being hereby expressly waived as a condition of and as a consideration for the issue of the Warrants evidenced hereby.
