Credit Facility: This warrant to Purchase Common Shares in the capital of the Company (“Warrant”) is issued in connection with that certain Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith between Silicon Valley Bank and the Company (as amended and/or modified and in effect from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”).

SECTION 1. EXERCISE.
1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may at any time and from time to time exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix 1 and unless Holder is exercising this Warrant pursuant to a cashless exercise as set forth in Section 1.2, a cheque, wire transfer of same- day funds (to an account designated by the Company) or other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased. In no event shall an original ink-signed paper copy of this Warrant be required for any exercise of a Holder’s rights hereunder, nor shall this Warrant or any physical copy thereof be required to be physically surrendered at the time of any exercise hereof.
1.2 Cashless Exercise. On any exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of payment of the aggregate Warrant Price in the manner as specified in Section 1.1 above, but otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.1, Holder may elect to receive Shares equal to the value of this Warrant, or portion hereof as to which this Warrant is being exercised. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares as are computed using the following formula:
| X = | Y(A-B)/A |
where:
| X = | the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder; |
| Y = | the number of Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised (inclusive of the Shares surrendered to the Company in payment of the aggregate Warrant Price); |
| A = | the fair market value (as determined pursuant to Section 1.3 below) (the “Fair Market Value”) of one Share; and |
| B = | the Warrant Price. |
1.3 Fair Market Value. If the Company’s Shares are then traded or quoted on a U.S. or Canadian nationally recognized securities exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over-the-counter market (a “Trading Market”), the Fair Market Value of a Share shall be the closing price or last sale price of a Share reported for the Business Day immediately before the date on which Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Company’s Shares are not traded in a Trading Market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine the Fair Market Value of a Share in its reasonable good faith judgment.
1.4 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Within a reasonable time after Holder exercises this Warrant in the manner set forth in Section 1.1 or 1.2 above, the Company shall deliver to Holder a certificate representing the Shares issued to Holder upon such exercise and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new warrant of like tenor representing the Shares not so acquired.
2
1.5 Replacement of Warrant.
(a) Paper Original Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form, substance and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender of this Warrant to the Company for cancellation, the Company shall, within a reasonable time, execute and deliver to Holder, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.
(b) Electronic Original Warrant. If at any time this Warrant is rejected by any person (including but not limited to, paying or escrow agents) or any such person fails to comply with the terms of this Warrant based on this Warrant being presented to such person as an electronic record, a printout thereof, or any signature hereto being in electronic form, the Company shall, promptly upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s request without indemnity, execute and deliver to Holder, in lieu of electronic original versions of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount in paper form with original ink signatures.
1.6 Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of Company.
(a) Acquisition. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any transaction or series of related transactions involving: (i) the sale, lease, exclusive license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (ii) any merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the Company into or with another person or entity (other than a merger, amalgamation or consolidation effected exclusively to change the Company’s domicile), or any other corporate reorganization, in which the shareholders of the Company in their capacity as such immediately prior to such merger, amalgamation, consolidation or reorganization, own less than a majority of the Company’s (or the surviving or successor entity’s) outstanding voting power immediately after such merger, amalgamation, consolidation or reorganization; or (iii) any sale or other transfer by the shareholders of the Company of shares representing at least a majority of the votes attaching to the Company’s then-total outstanding combined voting equity securities.
(b) Treatment of Warrant at Acquisition. In the event of an Acquisition in which the consideration to be received by the Company’s shareholders consists solely of cash, solely of Marketable Securities or a combination of cash and Marketable Securities (a “Cash/Public Acquisition”), and the Fair Market Value of one Share as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above would be greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date immediately prior to such Cash/Public Acquisition, and Holder has not exercised this Warrant pursuant to Section 1.1 above as to all Shares, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be exercised in a Cashless Exercise pursuant to Section 1.2 above as to all Shares effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of a Cash/Public Acquisition. In connection with such Cashless Exercise, unless the Holder otherwise notifies the Company, the Holder shall be deemed to have restated each of the representations and warranties in Section 4 of the Warrant as at the date thereof and the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of the number of Shares (or such other securities) issued upon exercise. In the event of a Cash/Public Acquisition where the Fair Market Value of one Share as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above would be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such Cash/Public Acquisition, then this Warrant will expire immediately prior to the consummation of such Cash/Public Acquisition.
3
(c) Upon the closing of any Acquisition other than a Cash/Public Acquisition, the acquiring, surviving or successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for the same securities and/or other property as would have been paid for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on and as of the closing of such Acquisition, subject to further adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.
(d) As used in this Warrant, “Marketable Securities” means securities meeting all of the following requirements: (i) the issuer thereof is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or similar reporting requirements of applicable securities laws in Canada, and is then current in its filing of all required reports and other information under the Act and the Exchange Act or under such applicable securities laws in Canada; (ii) the class and series of shares or other security of the issuer that would be received by Holder in connection with the Acquisition were Holder to exercise this Warrant on or prior to the closing thereof is then traded in a Trading Market; and (iii) if such Trading Market is a Trading Market in Canada, Holder would be able to publicly re-sell, immediately following the closing of such Acquisition, all of the issuer’s shares and/or other securities that would be received by Holder in such Acquisition were Holder to exercise or convert this Warrant in full on or prior to the closing of such Acquisition, or if such Trading Market is a Trading Market in the U.S., ▇▇▇▇▇▇ would be able to publicly re-sell, within six (6) months and one day following the closing of such Acquisition, all of the issuer’s shares and/or other securities that would be received by Holder in such Acquisition were Holder to exercise or convert this Warrant in full on or prior to the closing of such Acquisition.
1.7 Additional Shares. Upon the advance of one or more Term Loan Advances which in the aggregate are equal to or greater than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) pursuant to, and as that term is defined in, the Loan Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have automatically granted to Holder, in addition to the number of Shares which this Warrant can otherwise be exercised for by Holder, the right to purchase, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms hereof, an additional 12,082 Common Shares (the “Additional Shares”).
1.8 Certain Agreements. If requested by the Company, upon exercise of this Warrant, Holder shall, by execution and delivery to the Company of a counterpart signature page, adoption agreement, accession or similar instrument, become a party to such shareholder agreement(s) as may be in effect at such time among the Company and its shareholders, including without limitation any shareholders agreement, voting agreement, right of first refusal and co-sale agreement and/or investors’ rights agreement (collectively, the “Shareholders Agreement”).
SECTION 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND WARRANT PRICE.
2.1 Share Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding Common Shares payable in Shares or other securities or property (other than cash), then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without additional cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities and property which Holder would have received had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or distribution occurred. If the Company subdivides the outstanding Common Shares by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding Common Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased.
4
2.2 Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any event whereby all of the outstanding Common Shares are reclassified, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Company securities of a different class and/or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, this Warrant will be exercisable for the number, class and series of Company securities that Holder would have received had the Shares been outstanding on and as of the consummation of such event, and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations substitutions, replacements or other similar events.
2.3 Pay-to-Play Protection. If, from time to time following the issue date of this Warrant, the Company issues shares in connection with an equity financing that requires holders of the Company’s shares to purchase securities in such future round of equity financing to maintain such holders percentage interest in the Company or to otherwise else lose the benefit of certain rights, preferences and/or privileges (each such issuance, an “Additional Financing”), then the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable, as evidenced by the number of Shares shown on the first page plus any Additional Shares pursuant to Section 1.7, and the type/series of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable, as evidenced by the Type/Series of Shares shown on the first page, plus any other provision of this Warrant or any document contemplated by this Warrant, shall each be adjusted to provide the Holder with the same securities and/or rights that the Holder would have received had the Holder participated in the Additional Financing to its full pro rata share with respect to the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. Adjustments contemplated in this Section 2.3 shall be made immediately following each Additional Financing and the Company will promptly notify the Holder in writing of each such adjustment.
2.4 Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. Without duplication of any adjustment otherwise provided for in this Section 2, the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Shares shall be subject to anti-dilution adjustment from time to time (a) in the manner set forth in the Company’s Articles or Certificate of Incorporation as if the Shares were issued and outstanding on and as of the date of any such required adjustment and (b) if the Company’s next round of equity is issued at a price equal or less than $16.57.
2.5 No Fractional Share. No fractional Share shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional Share interest arises upon any exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional Share interest by paying Holder in cash the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by (i) the Fair Market Value (as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above) of a full Share, less (ii) the then-effective Warrant Price.
2.6 Notice/Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, class/type and/or number of Shares, the Company, at the Company’s expense, shall notify Holder in writing within a reasonable time setting forth the adjustments to the Warrant Price, class/type and/or number of Shares and facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request from ▇▇▇▇▇▇, furnish Holder with an officer’s certificate of a Responsible Officer (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement), including computations of such adjustment and the Warrant Price, Class and number of Shares in effect upon the date of such adjustment.
