The Purchased Securities form part of a larger offering of 1,800 Units by the
Corporation (the "Offering") to close on or about February 15, 2018 or such
other date mutually agreed between the Purchaser and the Corporation (the
"Closing Date"). The maximum Offering will result in gross proceeds to the
Corporation of CDN$1,800,000. The Corporation may, at its discretion, elect to
complete the Offering for proceeds of less than CDN$1,800,000 or less than 1,800
Units and in one or more tranches.
Each Unit is comprised of (i) a debenture of the Corporation in a principal
amount of CDN$1,000 with a term of two (2) years from the date of issuance (the
"Maturity Date") and bearing interest at the rate of ten (10%) percent per
annum (the "Debenture"), (ii) 250 common share purchase warrants of the
Corporation (the "Warrants") and (iii) 160 shares of restricted common stock
issued pursuant to an exemption under Rule 144 of the US Securities and Exchange
Act (the "Subscription Shares"). The whole or any part of the principal
amount of the Debenture plus any accrued and unpaid interest may be convertible
at the option of the debentureholder into common shares of the Corporation at a
price (the "Conversion Price") equal to the lessor of US$0.50 (U.S. Fifty
Cents) per share or the offering price per share of the proposed Initial Public
Offering of the Corporation's common stock on a Canadian stock exchange
("IPO Price") at any time up to the Maturity Date. The right of conversion
in the Debenture may be accelerated by the Corporation if the closing price of
the Corporation's common stock exceeds 200% of the Conversion Price for a
period of 20 trading days in a 30 day period at any time up to the Maturity Date
as more specifically set out in the Debenture. Each Warrant will entitle the
holder to acquire one (1) common share of the Corporation within twenty-four
(24) months from the Closing Date and each Warrant will have an exercise price
equal to the lessor of US$0.625 (U.S. Sixty-Two point five Cents) or 125% of the
IPO Price (the "Exercise Price"). The Warrant exercise may be accelerated by
the Corporation if the closing price of the Corporation's common stock exceeds
200% of the Exercise Price for a period of 20 trading days in a 30 day period at
any time up to the expiration date as more specifically set out in the Warrant
Certificate. The Terms and Conditions of Subscription for Units is attached
hereto as Schedule "A", the form of the Debenture is attached hereto as
Schedule "B", the form of Warrant is attached hereto as Schedule "C" and
the Accredited Investor Certificate is attached hereto as Schedule "D". All
dollar amounts referred to in this agreement are in Canadian dollars unless
otherwise noted.
ACCEPTANCE: The Corporation hereby (i) accepts the above subscription subject to
the terms and conditions contained in this subscription agreement; and (ii)
agrees that the Purchaser shall be entitled to rely on such representations and
warranties of the Corporation contained in the subscription agreement.

23. Risk Factors
Purchase of Debentures pursuant to this Offering should only be made after
consulting with independent and qualified sources of investment and tax advice.
Investment in the Debentures at this time is speculative due to the stage of the
Corporation's development. An investment in Debentures is appropriate only for
Subscribers who are prepared to invest money for two (2) years and who have the
capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their investment. Subscribers must
rely on management of the Corporation. Any investment in the Corporation at this
stage involves a high degree of risk. The following additional risk factors are
inherent in an investment in the Debentures:
1. Redemptions: There can be no assurance that if additional funding is
required by the Corporation to redeem any or all of the Debentures on
maturity, that such financing will be available on terms satisfactory
to the Corporation, or at all. If the Corporation does not have
sufficient funds on hand to redeem any or all of the Debentures and its
assets do not mature or cannot be sold quickly enough, it will not be
able to redeem any or all of the Debentures on maturity.
2. Debentures have no security: The Debentures offered pursuant to this
Offering Memorandum are unsecured obligations and will rank pari passu
among themselves and subordinate to all secured obligations of the
Corporation.
3. Tax Consequences: The tax consequences associated with an investment in
the Debentures may be subject to changes in federal and provincial tax
laws. There can be no assurance that the tax laws will not be changed
in a manner that will adversely affect tax consequences to Subscribers
holding or disposing of the Debentures.
4. No Right to Vote: Bondholders will have no right to vote on matters
relating to the Corporation. Exclusive authority and responsibility for
managing the Corporation rests with management of the Corporation and
those persons, consultants and advisors retained by management on
behalf of the Corporation. Accordingly, Subscribers should appreciate
that they will be relying on the good faith, experience, expertise and
ability of the directors and officers of the Corporation and other
parties for the success of the business of the Corporation.
11
5. Systemic Risk: Credit risk may arise through a default by one of several
large institutions that are dependent on one another to meet their
liquidity or operational needs, so that a default by one institution
causes a series of defaults by the other institutions. This is
sometimes referred to as a "systemic risk" and may adversely affect
financial intermediaries, such as clearing agencies, clearing houses,
banks, securities firms and exchanges, with which the Corporation
and/or the other parties that may have impact on the Debentures
interact on a daily basis.
6. Limited History: The Corporation has limited operational history.
Accordingly, there is limited information available to a Subscriber
upon which to base an evaluation of the Corporation and its business
and prospects. The Corporation is in the early stages of its business
and therefore is subject to the risks associated with early stage
companies, including uncertainty of revenues, markets and
profitability, the need to raise additional funding, the evolving and
unpredictable nature of the Corporation's business and the ability to
identify, attract and retain qualified personnel. There can be no
assurance that the Corporation will be successful in doing what it is
required to do to overcome these risks. No assurance can be given that
the Corporation's business activities will be successful.
7. Illiquid Investment: An investment in the Bond of the Corporation is an
illiquid investment. There is currently no public market through which

of one thousand ($1,000) dollars and all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, and all references in this Debenture to exercise of conversion
rights and surrender of this Debenture in payment of the subscription
price of Common Shares shall be deemed to include exercise of
conversion rights with respect to any such part.
(2) The Holder of any Debenture of which part only is transferred to the
Company in payment of the subscription price of Common Shares shall,
upon the exercise of his, her or its right to convert into Common
Shares or the right of the Company to require such conversion surrender
such Debenture to the Transfer Agent and the Transfer Agent shall
cancel the same and shall, without expense to the Holder, forthwith
certify, and deliver to the Holder a new Debenture or Debentures
identical in all material respects to this Debenture, but in an
aggregate principal amount of the Debenture so surrendered with respect
to which the Holder has not exercised, his, her or its conversion
rights.
Section 5.4 Adjustment of Conversion Basis.
(1) If and whenever the Company shall (i) subdivide or redivide the
outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares (ii) reduce,
combine or consolidate the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller
number of shares; or (iii) issue any Common Shares (or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) to the holders of
all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares or any other
class of shares of the Company by way of a stock dividend (other than
the issuance of Common Shares as interest payments on the Debentures),
the number of Common Shares which may be obtained pursuant to Section
5.1 for each one thousand ($1,000) dollars principal amount of this
Debenture as of the effective date of such subdivision, redivision,
reduction, combination or consolidation or on the record date for such
issue of Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable
for Common Shares) by way of a stock dividend, as the case may be,
24
shall be increased, in the case of the events referred to in (i) and
(iii) above, in the proportion which the number of Common Shares
outstanding after such subdivision, redivision or dividend bears to the
number of Common Shares outstanding before such subdivision, redivision
or dividend, or shall be decreased, in the case of the events referred
to in (ii) above, in the proportion which the number of Common Shares
outstanding after such reduction, combination or consolidation bears to
the number of Common Shares outstanding before such reduction,
combination or consolidation. Any such issue of Common Shares by way of
a stock dividend shall be deemed to have been made on the record date
fixed for such stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the number
of outstanding Common Shares under this subsection 5.4(1) or subsection
5.4(2), (3) or (4) and, in the case where securities convertible into
or exchangeable for Common Shares are distributed, shall include the
number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had such
securities been converted into Common Shares on such record date.
(2) If at any time prior to the first anniversary date of the Commencement
Date the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights,
options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of its
outstanding Common Shares or any other class of shares of the Company,
entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or
securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares or a
combination of Common Shares and such exchangeable or convertible
securities) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange
price per share) less than the IPO Price, the number of Common Shares
which may be obtained pursuant to Section 5.1 for each one thousand
($1,000) dollars principal amount of this Debenture shall be adjusted
immediately after such record date by multiplying the Conversion Basis
in effect on such record date by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which
shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record
date plus the total number of Common Shares offered for subscription or
purchase (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so
offered are convertible or exchangeable), and (ii) the denominator of
which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such
record date plus a number of Common Shares equal to the number arrived
at by dividing the aggregate price of the total number of additional
Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate
conversion or exchange price of the convertible securities so offered)
by the IPO Price; to the extent that any such rights, options or
warrants are not so issued or any such rights, options or warrants are
not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the number of Common
Shares which may be obtained pursuant to Section 5.1 for each one
thousand ($1,000) dollars principal amount of this Debenture shall be
re-adjusted to that which would then be in effect based upon the number
of Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights,
options or warrants, as the case may be.
(3) If and whenever the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a
distribution (other than any distributions constituting dividends paid
in the ordinary course) to all or substantially all the holders of its
outstanding Common Shares or any other class of shares of the Company
of (i) shares of the Company of any class other than Common Shares, or
(ii) rights, options or warrants or other securities of the Company
which are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares (excluding
those referred to in subsection 5.4(2); or (iii) evidences of its
indebtedness (excluding those referred to in subsection 5.4(2); or (iv)
property or other assets of the Company or any Subsidiary of the
25
Company, then, in each such case, the number of Common Shares which may
be obtained pursuant to Section 5.1 for each one thousand ($1,000)
dollars principal amount of the Debenture shall be adjusted immediately
after such record date by multiplying the Conversion Basis in effect on
such record date by a fraction (v) the numerator of which shall be the
total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date
multiplied by the IPO Price, and (vi) the denominator of which shall be
the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date
multiplied by the lessor of $0.50 (US Fifty Cents) or the IPO Price,
less the fair market value (as determined by the Directors, subject to
the approval of any regulatory body having jurisdiction over the
Company, which determination, absent manifest error, shall be
conclusive) of such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences
or indebtedness or assets so distributed; any Common Shares owned by or
held for the account of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company
shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such
computation to the extent that such distribution is not so made, the
number of Common Shares which may be obtained pursuant to Section 5.1
for each one thousand ($1,000) dollars principal amount of this
Debenture shall be re-adjusted to that which would then be in effect if
such record date had not been fixed or to that which would then be in
effect if such record date had not been fixed or to that which would
then be in effect based upon such share or rights, options or warrants
or other securities or evidences of indebtedness or property or other
assets actually distributed, as the case may be.
(4) In case of the reclassification of the Common Shares at any time
outstanding (other than any subdivision, redivision, reduction,
combination of consolidation of Common Shares into a greater or lesser
number of Common Shares) or change of the Common Shares into other
shares, or in case of a Corporate Reorganization of the Company, (other
than a Corporate Reorganization which does not result in a
reclassification of the outstanding shares), the Holder of the
Debenture if he, she or it shall thereafter exercise his, her or its
rights to obtain Common Shares under Section 5.1, in whole or in part,
shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept, in lieu of the number
of Common Shares to which he, she or it was therefore entitled upon
exercise of such conversion rights, the kind and amount of shares and
other securities or property which such Holder would have been entitled
to receive as a result of such reclassification, change or Corporate
Reorganization, as the case may be, if on the effective date thereof,
he, she or it had been the registered holder of the number of Common
Shares to which he, she or it was theretofore entitled upon exercise of
such Holder's rights to obtain Common Shares under Section 5.1. If
necessary, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of
the provisions set forth in this Article 5 with respect to the rights
and interests thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions
set forth in this Article 5 shall thereafter correspondingly be made
applicable as nearly as may be possible in relation to any shares or
other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise
its rights to obtain Common Shares under Section 5.1. Any such
adjustments shall be approved by the Directors, subject to the approval
of any regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company, and shall
be set forth in a notice given to the Holder in accordance with Article
9 hereof and, absent manifest error, shall for all purposes be
conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.
26
(5) In any case in which this Section 5.4 shall require that an adjustment
shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event
referred to herein, the Company may defer, until the occurrence of such
event, issuing to the Holder the additional Common Shares issuable by
reason of the adjustment upon a conversion pursuant to Section 5.1 made
after such record date and before the occurrence of such event. The
Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder in any
such case an appropriate instrument evidencing the Holder's right to
receive such adjustment and the right to receive any distributions made
on such additional Common Shares declared in favour of holders of
record of Common Shares on and after the Date of Conversion or such
later date as such holder would, but for the provisions of this
subsection 5.4(5), have become the holder of record of such additional
Common Shares pursuant to subsection 5.2(2).
(6) The adjustments provided for in this Section 5.4 are cumulative,
shall in the case of the resulting adjustments to the Conversion Price
be computed to the nearest one-tenth (1/10th) of one (1) cent and shall
apply to successive subdivisions, redivisions, reductions,
combinations, consolidations, distributions, issues or other events
resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this Section 5.4.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.4, no adjustment
of the Conversion Basis and Conversion Price shall be required in
respect of any such event unless such adjustment would require an
increase or decrease of at least one (1%) per cent in the Conversion
Basis then in effect. Any adjustments which by reason of the preceding
sentence of this subsection 5.4(6) are not required to be made shall be
carried forward and taken into account on any subsequent adjustment.
(7) If any questions arise with respect to the adjustments provided in this
Section 5.4 and except with respect to matters where a decision of the
Directors is expressly stated herein to be conclusive, such questions
shall be determined by the Company's Auditors, subject to the consent
of any regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company and such
determination, absent manifest error, shall be binding upon the Company
and the Holder.
Section 5.5 No Requirement to Issue Fractional Shares. The Company shall
not be required to issue fractional Common Shares upon the conversion rights
pursuant to this Article 5. If any fractional interest in a Common Share would,
except for the provisions of this Section 5.5, be deliverable upon the
conversion of any principal amount of Debentures, the Company shall, in lieu of
delivering any certificate of such fractional interest, satisfy such fractional
interest by paying to the Holder of such surrendered Debentures an amount of
lawful money of Canada equal (computed to the nearest whole cent, and one-half
of a cent being rounded up) to the appropriate fraction of the deemed value of a
Common Share.
Section 5.6 Certificate as to Adjustment. The Company shall from time to
time immediately after the occurrence of an event which requires an adjustment
or readjustment as provided in Section 5.4, deliver a certificate of the
President of the Company to the Holder, and the Transfer Agent specifying the
event requiring such adjustment or re-adjustment and the results thereof,
including detailed calculations and, upon giving such certificate, such
adjustment or readjustment shall be conclusive and binding on all parties in
interest. No such notice need be given under this Section 5.6 if the Company has
given notice under Section 5.7 covering all the relevant facts in respect of
such event.
27
Section 5.7 Notice of Special Matters. The Company agrees that so long as
any Debenture remains outstanding, it will give notice to the Holder, in the
manner provided in Article 9, and the Transfer Agent of its intention to fix a
record date for any event mentioned in Section 5.4 which may give rise to an
adjustment in the Conversion Basis, and, in each case, such notice shall specify
the particulars of such event and the record date and the effective date for
such event. Such notice shall be given not less than fourteen (14) days prior to
such applicable record date.
Section 5.8 Company to Reserve Shares. The Company agrees that it will
reserve and keep available out of its authorized Common Shares and solely for
the purpose of issue upon exercise of conversion rights under the Debentures as
provided in this Article 5, the maximum number of Common Shares as shall then be
issuable upon the exercise of the conversion rights under Section 5.1 inclusive
of the obligations of the Company to pay interest on the Debentures in the form
of Units.
Section 5.9 Cancellation of Converted Debentures. Subject to subsection
5.3(2), all Debentures with respect to which the conversion rights under the
provisions of this Article 5 are exercised shall be immediately cancelled.
Section 5.10 Conversion of Legended Debentures. Upon the exercise of
conversion rights under Debentures bearing a legend, the certificates
representing the Common Shares issued upon exercise of the conversion rights
under such Debentures and all certificates issued in exchange therefor or in
substitution thereof, shall bear such legend as is determined to be required for
compliance with Applicable Laws, or the requirements of a securities regulatory
authority, if any.
ARTICLE 6 - PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY
Section 6.1 Payment of Principal and Interest. The Company will duly and
punctually pay or cause to be paid to the Holder, the principal of and interest

COMMON SHARE PURCHASE WARRANT CERTIFICATE
No. ____________
Certificate for ____________ Warrants
NOT EXERCISABLE AFTER 5:00 P.M.,
EASTERN STANDARD TIME, ON FEBRUARY ____, 2020
NEWGIOCO GROUP, INC.
COMMON SHARE PURCHASE WARRANT CERTIFICATE
THIS CERTIFICATE CERTIFIES THAT ___________________________ or its registered
assigns is the registered holder (the "Holder") of the number of Warrants set
forth above, each of which represents the right to purchase one (1) fully paid
and non-assessable common share (the "Common Share") of NEWGIOCO GROUP, INC., a
corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Company"),
at the Exercise Price (as hereinafter defined), by surrendering this Warrant
Certificate, with the form of Election to Purchase attached hereto duly executed
and by paying in full the Exercise Price (the Common Shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants being referred to herein as the "Warrant Shares") at
the principal office of the Company as set forth below. No Warrant may be
exercised after 5:00 P.M., Eastern Standard Time, on February ____, 2020 (the
"Expiration Date"). All Warrants evidenced hereby shall thereafter become void.
Prior to the Expiration Date, subject to any applicable laws, rules or
regulations restricting transferability and to any restriction on
transferability that may appear on this Warrant Certificate, the Holder shall be
entitled to transfer this Warrant Certificate, in whole or in part, upon
surrender of this Warrant Certificate at the principal office of the Company
with the form of assignment set forth hereon duly executed. Upon any such
transfer, a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates representing the
same aggregate number of Warrant Shares will be issued in accordance with
instructions in the form of assignment.
1. Exercise of the Warrants
At any time prior to the Expiration Date, the Holder shall be entitled to
exercise some or all of the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate and
purchase an equal number of Common Shares upon surrender of this Certificate at
the principal office of the Company, together with:
(i) the form of Election to Purchase annexed hereto duly executed; and
(ii) a certified cheque of bank draft, payable at par, in Canadian
currency, to or to the order of the Company, in the amount of the
Exercise Price per Warrant (as hereinafter determined) multiplied by
the number of Warrants being so converted.
The exercise price per Warrant to be exercised shall be at a price equal to the
lessor of US$0.625 (U.S. Sixty-Two point five Cents) or 125% of the IPO Price
(the "Exercise Price"). Upon the exercise of less than all of the Warrants to
purchase the Common Shares evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, there shall be
issued to the Holder a new Warrant Certificate in respect of the Warrants not
32
exercised. The "IPO Price" shall mean the price of the common shares of the
Company offered for sale under the initial public offering of the Corporation on
a Canadian stock exchange. For the purposes of converting US dollars into
Canadian dollars as required for the purposes of this Warrant, the daily
exchange rate as published on the Bank of Canada website on the date of exercise
of the Warrant or other applicable date shall be used for this purpose.
2. Fractional Shares
The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the exercise
of some or all of the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate.
3. Limitation
This Warrant Certificate shall not entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a
shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote, to
receive dividends and other distributions, or to attend or receive any notice of
meetings of stockholders or any other proceedings of the Company.
4. Registration of Warrant Certificates
The Company shall number and register the Warrant Certificates in a warrant
register maintained by the Company as they are needed. The Company may deem and
treat the registered holder(s) of the Warrant Certificates as the absolute
owner(s) thereof for all purposes. Upon request by a Holder requesting such
information for the purpose of obtaining a consent, waiver or other action of
Holders, the Company will notify that Holder as to the identity and address of
record of the other Holders.
5. Transfer of Warrant Certificate and Warrant Shares
(1) The Company shall from time to time register the transfer of any
outstanding Warrant Certificates in the warrant register upon surrender
thereof accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer
in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company duly executed by the
Holder or Holders thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative
thereof or by a duly authorized attorney. Upon any such registration of
transfer, the Company shall issue as promptly as practicable in any
event within three (3) Business Days (as hereinafter defined) after
receipt of such notice of transfer of a new Warrant Certificate to the
transferee(s). As used in the Warrant Certificate, the term "Business
Day" means any day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or statutory holiday
in the City of Toronto.
(2) Warrant Certificates may be exchanged at the option of the Holder(s)
thereof when surrendered to the Company at the address set forth herein
for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor
and representing the right to purchase in the aggregate a like number
of Warrant Shares; provided that the Company shall not be required to
issue any Warrant Certificates representing any fractional Warrant
Shares.
(3) The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes and other charges payable in
connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of new Warrant
Certificates, including, without limitation, any transfer or stamp
taxes.
33
6. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant Certificates
If any Warrant Certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the
Company shall issue, execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and
upon cancellation of such mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in lieu of or in
substitution for such lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate, a new
Warrant Certificate representing an equivalent number of Warrants or Warrant
Shares. If required by the Company, the Holder of the mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed Warrant Certificate must provide an affidavit of loss and an indemnity
reasonably sufficient to protect the Company from any loss which it may suffer
if the Warrant Certificate is replaced. Any new Warrant Certificate shall
constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the
allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at
any time enforceable by any person.
7. Cancellation of Warrant Certificates
Any Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the exercise of Warrants or for
exchange or transfer, or purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company, shall
be cancelled and shall not be reissued by the Company; and, except as provided
in Section 1 with respect to the exercise of less than all of the Warrants
evidenced by a Warrant Certificate or in Section 5 with respect to an exchange
or transfer, no Warrant Certificate shall be issued hereunder in lieu of such
cancelled Warrant Certificate. Any Warrant Certificate so cancelled shall be
destroyed by the Company.
8. Issuance of Common Shares
As promptly as practicable after the date on which part or all of the Warrants
represented by this Warrant Certificate are exercised (the "Date of Exercise")
of any Warrants and in any event within three (3) Business Days after receipt of
the Election to Purchase, the Company shall issue, or cause its transfer agent
to issue, a certificate or certificates for the number of non-fractional Warrant
Shares (the "Common Share Certificate"), registered in accordance with the
instructions set forth in the Election to Purchase. All Warrant Shares issued
upon the exercise of any Warrants shall be legally and validly authorized and
issued and outstanding, fully paid, non-assessable, free of pre-emptive rights
and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests in respect of the
issuance thereof. Each person in whose name any such Common Share Certificate is
issued shall be deemed for all purposes to have become the holder of record of
the Common Shares represented thereby on the Date of the Exercise of the
Warrants resulting in the issuance of such shares, irrespective of the date of
issuance or delivery of such Common Share Certificate.
The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes and other charges payable in
connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of new Common Share
Certificates, including, without limitation, any transfer or stamp taxes.
9. Reservation of Common Shares; Listing
The Company shall reserve and keep available, free from pre-emptive rights, for
issuance upon the exercise of Warrants, the maximum number of its authorized but
unissued Common Shares which may then be issuable upon the exercise in full of
all outstanding Warrants.
34
10. No Impairment
The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its
articles of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, amalgamation, combination, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid, or seek to avoid the
observation or performance of any of the terms of the Warrants, the Warrant
Certificates or this Certificate, but will at all times in good faith assist in
the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may
be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holders against
impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall
obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public
regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the
Company to perform its obligations under the Warrants. In case any securities
other than the Common Shares ("Other Securities") shall be issued or sold, or
shall become subject to issue upon the conversion or exchange of any stock (or
Other Securities) of the Company (or any other issuer of Other Securities) or to
subscription, purchase or other acquisition pursuant to any rights or options
granted by the Company (or such other issuer or Person), for a consideration per
share of Other Security such as to dilute the purchase rights evidenced by the
Warrants, the computations, adjustments and readjustments provided for in
Section 11 with respect to the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares
shall be made as nearly as possible in the manner so provided and applied so as
to protect the Holders against the effect of such dilution.
11. Adjustment of Exercise Price
Subject to the provisions of this Section 11, the Exercise Price in effect from
time to time shall be subject to adjustment, as follows:
(1) In the event that the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a
distribution on the outstanding Common Shares in additional Common
Shares, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding Common Shares into
a greater number of shares, or (iii) consolidate, combine or reclassify
the outstanding Common Shares into a fewer number of shares, the
Exercise Price in effect immediately after the record date for such
dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision,
consolidation, combination or reclassification, as the case may be,
shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a
fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares
outstanding immediately before such dividend, distribution,
subdivision, consolidation, combination or reclassification, and of
which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding
immediately after such dividend, distribution, subdivision,
consolidation, combination or reclassification. Any Common Shares
issuable in payment of a dividend shall be deemed to have been issued
immediately prior to the record date or other applicable date cited in
Sections 11(2) or 11(3) for the purpose of calculating the number of
outstanding Common Shares under Sections 11(2) or 11(3). Such
adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event specified
above shall occur.
(2) In the event that the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance
of rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities
to all or substantially all holders of its Common Shares entitling them
(for a period which, by its express terms, expires within forty-five
(45) days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase Common
Shares at a price per share less than the Fair Market Value of a Common
35
Share on such record date, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted
immediately thereafter so that it shall equal the price determined by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a
fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares
outstanding on such record date plus the maximum number of Common
Shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of Common
Shares so offered would purchase at the Fair Market Value per share,
and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares
outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional Common
Shares offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall be
made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent
that any such rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable
securities are not so issued or expire unexercised, the Exercise Price
then in effect shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would
then be in effect if such unissued or unexercised rights, options,
warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities had not been
issuable. As used in this Warrant Certificate, the term "Fair Market
Value" means the price at which a buyer and seller would transfer a
Common Share both being fully informed of all relevant information and
neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell, as the case may be
and, for the purposes of this Section 11(2), shall, at the request of a
Holder, be determined by the Company's Board of Directors in good faith
and on a reasonable basis.
(3) In the event that the Company shall fix a record date for the making of
a distribution to all or substantially all holders of Common Shares (i)
of shares of any class other than its Common Shares or (ii) of the
evidence of its indebtedness or (iii) of assets or (iv) of rights,
options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, then in
each such case the Exercise Price in effect immediately thereafter
shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior thereto by a fraction, of which the numerator shall
be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date
multiplied by the Fair Market Value per share on such record date, less
the aggregate fair market value as determined in good faith by the
Company's Board of Directors of said shares or evidences of
indebtedness or assets or rights, options, warrants or convertible or
exchangeable securities as distributed, and of which the denominator
shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record
date multiplied by such Fair Market Value per share. Such adjustment
shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed;
provided, however, that in no event shall the Exercise Price be less
than zero. In the event that such distribution is not so made, or that
such distribution, by its express terms, is intended to be made, and is
in fact made, to all holders of Warrant Shares upon exercise of their
respective Warrants, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be
readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such
record date had not been fixed.
12. Warrant Acceleration Rights
At any time on or after the first anniversary of the issue date of this Warrant
Certificate, the Company shall have the right to accelerate any or all Warrants
at any time by causing them to expire at the close of business on the day next
preceding a specified date (the "Warrant Acceleration Date"), if the closing
price of the Corporation's common stock exceeds 200% of the Exercise Price per
share on any twenty Trading Days (as hereinafter defined) within a period of
thirty consecutive Trading Days ending no more than five Trading Days prior to
the date on which the Company gives notice to the Holder of its election to
accelerate the Warrant.
36
13. No Adjustment to Exercise Price
No adjustment in the Exercise Price in accordance with the provisions of Section
11 need be made unless such adjustment would amount to a change of at least one
(1.0%) per cent in such Exercise Price, provided, however, that the amount by
which any adjustment is not made by reason of the provisions of this Section 12
shall be carried forward and taken into account at the time of any subsequent
adjustment in the Exercise Price.
14. Adjustment of Number of Shares
Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 11, each Warrant
shall thereupon evidence the right to purchase that number of Warrant Shares
(calculated to the nearest hundredth of a share) obtained by multiplying the
number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment upon
exercise of the Warrant by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price in
effect immediately after such adjustment.
15. Reorganizations
In the event of any capital reorganization, other than in the cases referred to
in Section 11(1), or the consolidation, amalgamation, merger or other
combination of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a
consolidation, amalgamation, merger or other combination in which the Company is
the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of
the outstanding Common Shares or the conversion of such outstanding Common
Shares into shares of other stock or other securities or property), or the sale,
transfer or conveyance of the property of the Company as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety (collectively such actions being hereinafter
referred to as "Reorganizations"), there shall thereafter be deliverable upon
exercise of any Warrant (in lieu of the number of Warrant Shares theretofore
deliverable) the number of shares of stock or other securities of property to
which a holder of the number of Warrant Shares which would otherwise have been
deliverable upon the exercise of such Warrant would have been entitled upon such
Reorganization if such Warrant had been exercised in full immediately prior to
such Reorganization. In the event of any Reorganization, appropriate adjustment,
as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors, shall be made
in the application of the provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights
and interests of Holders so that the provisions set forth herein shall
thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, in relation to any shares or
other property thereafter deliverable upon exercise of Warrants. Any such
adjustment shall be made by and set forth in a supplemental agreement prepared
by the Company or any successor thereto, between the Company and any successor
thereto, and shall for all purposes hereof conclusively be deemed to be an
appropriate adjustment. The Company shall not effect any such Reorganization,
unless upon or prior to the consummation thereof the successor corporation, or
if the Company shall be the surviving corporation in any such Reorganization and
is not the issuer of the shares of stock or other securities or property to be
delivered to holders of Common Shares outstanding at the effective time thereof,
then such issuer, shall assume by written instrument the obligation to deliver
to the Holder of any Warrant Certificate such shares of stock, securities, cash
or other property as such holder shall be entitled to purchase in accordance
with the foregoing provisions.
37
16. Notice of Certain Actions
In the event the Company shall (a) declare any dividend payable in stock to the
holders of its Common Shares or make any other distribution in property other
than cash to the holders of its Common Shares, (b) offer to the holders of its
Common Shares rights to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class of
stock or any other rights or options, or (c) effect any reclassification of its
Common Shares (other than a reclassification involving merely the subdivision or
combination of outstanding Common Shares) or any capital reorganization or any
consolidation, amalgamation, merger or other combination (other than a
consolidation, amalgamation, merger or other combination in which no
distribution of securities or other property is made to holders of Common
Shares) or any sale, transfer or other disposition of its property, assets and
business substantially as an entirety, or the liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of in the Company; then, in each such case, the Company shall cause
notice of such proposed action to be mailed to each Holder at least thirty (30)
days prior to such action. Such notice shall specify the date on which the books
of the Company shall close, or a record be taken, for determining holders of
Common Shares entitled to receive such stock dividend or other distribution or
such rights or options, or the date on which such reclassification,
reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, combination, merger, sale,
transfer, other disposition, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or exchange
shall take place or commence , as the case may be, and the date as of which it
is expected that holders of record of Common Shares shall be entitled to receive
securities or other property deliverable upon such action, if any such date has
been fixed. Such notice shall be mailed in the case of any action covered by
paragraph (a) and (b) of this Section 15, at least ten (10) days prior to the
record date for determining holders of the Common Shares for purposes of
receiving such payment or offer, and in the case of any action covered by this
paragraph (c), at least ten (10) days prior to the record date to determine
holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such securities or other property.
17. Certificate of Adjustment
The Company shall perform any computations and determine any adjustments
required to be made under this Certificate (the "Adjustment") and shall cause an
independent nationally recognized firm of chartered accountants selected by the
Company to verify each Adjustment. As promptly as practicable after determining
any Adjustment, and upon receipt of the aforementioned verification, the Company
shall prepare a certificate executed by the President of the Company setting
forth such Adjustment and mail such certificate to each Holder (an "Adjustment
Notice"). The Adjustment Notice shall include in reasonable detail (a) the
events precipitating the Adjustment, (b) the computations relating to such
Adjustment, and (c) the Exercise Price and the number of shares or the
securities or other property purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant after
giving effect to such Adjustment. In the event that the Holders of Warrants
entitling such Holders to purchase a majority of the Warrant Shares subject to
purchase upon exercise of Warrants at the time outstanding (the "Required
Interest") shall disagree with any Adjustment, the Required Interest shall give
notice thereof (the "Dispute Notice") to the Company within fifteen (15) days
after the Adjustment Notice. Upon receipt of the Dispute Notice, the Company
shall promptly engage an independent nationally recognized firm of chartered
accountants acceptable to the Required Interest to make an independent
determination of such disputed Adjustment (the "Independent Adjustment"). The
Independent Adjustment shall be final and binding on the Company and all
Holders. If the disputed Adjustment and the Independent Adjustment differ by an
amount of three (3%) per cent or less of the value of the disputed Adjustment,
then the costs of conducting the independent determination shall be borne by the
Required Interest (pro rata, in accordance with the number of Warrants held by
38
each, with each subject Holder jointly and severally liable); if the disputed
Adjustment and the Independent Adjustment differ by more than three (3%) per
cent of the disputed Adjustment, then the costs of conducting the independent
determination shall be borne entirely by the Company; provided that in each case
costs separately incurred by the Company and any Holders shall be separately
borne by them.
18. Warrant Certificate Amendments
Irrespective of any adjustments pursuant to this Section 17, Warrant
Certificates theretofore or thereafter issued need not be amended or replaced,
but certificates thereafter issued shall bear an appropriate legend or other
notice of any adjustments; provided the Company may, at its option, issue new
Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants in such form as may be approved by its
Board of Directors to reflect any adjustment in the Exercise Price and number of
Warrant shares purchasable under the Warrants.
19. Fractional Shares
The Company shall not be required upon the exercise of any Warrant to issue
fractional Warrant Shares which may result from adjustments in accordance with
this Section 18 to the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares purchasable
under each Warrant. If more than one Warrant is exercised at one time by the
same Holder, the number of Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the
exercise thereof shall be computed based on the aggregate number of Warrant
Shares purchasable upon exercise of such Warrants.
20. Payment of Taxes and Charges
The Company will pay all taxes (other than income taxes or other similar taxes
personal to the Holders, including without limitation, non resident withholding
taxes) and other government charges payable in connection with the issuance or
delivery or transfer of the Warrants and the initial issuance or delivery of
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any Warrants and payment of the Exercise
Price.
21. Changes to Agreement
The Company, when authorized by its Board of Directors, with the written consent
of Holders of Warrants entitling such Holders to purchase a majority of the
Warrant Shares subject to purchase upon exercise of the Warrants outstanding at
such time, may amend or supplement this Certificate, except that no amendment
which (i) increases the Exercise Price or reduces the number of Warrant Shares
or otherwise economically impairs the value of the Warrants or (ii) amends the
provisions of Sections 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 shall be enforceable
against a Holder who has not consented in writing to such amendment.
22. Assignment
All the covenants and provisions of this Certificate by or for the benefit of
the Company or the Holders shall bind and inure to the benefit of their
respective successors and assigns.
23. Successor to Company
In the event that the Company consolidates, amalgamates, merges or otherwise
combines with or into any other corporation or sells, transfers or otherwise
conveys its property, assets and business substantially as an entirety to a
successor corporation or entity, the Company shall prior to such events becoming
39
effective, have such successor corporation or other entity assume by a written
instrument each and every undertaking covenant and condition of this Certificate
to be performed and observed by the Company, and such successor corporation or
other entity shall be deemed, upon the closing of such merger, amalgamation,
combination, consolidation, conveyance or sale, to have so assumed such
liabilities.
