WHEREAS, the Company and the Purchasers have entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 14, 2021 (as may be amended from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company is issuing and selling to the Purchasers common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”);
WHEREAS, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties, the Company and the Principal Purchasers have entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of June 14, 2021 (as may be amended from time to time, the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company grants the Principal Purchasers certain registration and other rights with respect to the Common Shares issued to the Principal Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; and
WHEREAS, each of the parties wishes to set forth in this Agreement certain terms and conditions regarding ownership of the Common Shares.
-1-
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of circumstances recited above and the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
GOVERNANCE
1.1 Board of Directors.
(a) At or prior to the Appointment Date, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) shall expand its size, if necessary, to create a vacancy for one (1) qualified nominee of Masters. Masters shall have the right to designate, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 1.1, one nominee to the Board (each, a “New Board Nominee”). The Board shall in good faith consider whether each such New Board Nominee is (i) qualified and suitable to serve as a member of the Board under all applicable corporate governance policies and guidelines of the Company and the Board and applicable legal, regulatory and stock exchange requirements and (ii) meets the independence requirements of applicable Canadian securities laws, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, the Toronto Stock Exchange and any other stock exchange on which the Common Shares may be listed in the future. The Board and the appropriate committees of the Board shall conduct the consideration of the qualifications, suitability and independence of each New Board Nominee, and make any determinations with respect thereto in a manner consistent with considerations and determinations in respect of other members of the Board. Masters shall cause its New Board Nominee to make himself or herself reasonably available for interviews, to consent to such reference and background checks or other investigations and to provide such information (including information necessary to determine the New Board Nominee’s independence status under various requirements and institutional investor guidelines as well as information necessary to determine any disclosure obligations of the Company) as the Board or any committee thereof may reasonably request; provided that in each such case, all such interviews, investigations and information are generally required to be delivered to the Company by the other outside directors of the Company. If the Board determines that the New Board Nominee is qualified and suitable to serve as a member of the Board under all applicable corporate governance policies and guidelines of the Company and the Board and applicable legal, regulatory and stock exchange requirements (collectively, the “Applicable Requirements”), then the Board shall appoint such initial New Board Nominee to the Board within 30 days following the Closing (the date of each such appointment, an “Appointment Date”). It is understood and acknowledged that as of the date of this Agreement, each of 1315 and Greybrook have a designated Board member currently on the Board (each such Board member, together with the New Board Nominee, the “Board Nominees”). Provided that each such Board Nominee then meets the Applicable Requirements, then so long as each Board Right Purchaser and its Affiliates beneficially own, as of the date of mailing of the Company’s proxy circular, proxy statement (or consent solicitation or similar document) for its annual meeting of shareholders (or consent in lieu thereof), at least 5% of the Common Shares, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act (the “Nomination Condition”), the Company shall nominate such Board Right Purchaser’s Board Nominee for re-election as a director by the shareholders of the Company at the end of each term of such Board Nominee as part of the slate proposed by the Company that is included in the proxy circular, proxy statement (or consent solicitation or similar document) of the Company relating to the election of the Board. In the event that the Board determines that the Board Nominee of a Board Right Purchaser does not meet the Applicable Requirements, or if such Board Nominee ceases to be a member of the Board at any time and for any reason, so long as the Nomination Condition has been satisfied at such time, such Board Right Purchaser may select another person as a designee as its Board Nominee and, if the Board determines that such nominee meets the criteria set forth above (including the Applicable Requirements), such designee shall become such Board Right Purchaser’s Board Nominee and shall be promptly appointed by, or nominated for election by shareholders to, as applicable, the Board. The Board shall undertake any review of any such new Board Nominee in accordance with this paragraph and shall complete such review promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days following receipt by the Company of the identity of the Board Nominee, provided that during the pendency of such review, such Board Nominee shall promptly provide the Board with such information, and shall make themselves available to the Board, as the Board in its sole discretion, acting reasonably, deems necessary to complete its review of such Board Nominee. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time following the Closing, a Board Right Purchaser’s Board Nominee is not a member of the Board for any reason and a new Board Nominee has not been appointed by such Board Right Purchaser, as long as at such time the Nomination Condition has been satisfied, such Board Right Purchaser shall be entitled to designate an observer at meetings of the Board and all committees thereof, and the Company shall provide all materials that are provided to other members of the Board in connection with such meetings to such observer, unless such attendance or the provision of such materials would result in an actual conflict of interest or violate any of the applicable corporate governance policies and guidelines or applicable legal, regulatory or stock exchange requirements or would result in the loss of attorney-client privilege.
-2-
(b) Each Board Nominee shall be subject to the policies and requirements of the Company and the Board, in a manner consistent with the application of such policies and requirements to other members of the Board. The Company shall compensate each Board Nominee, and reimburse each Board Nominee for their reasonable expenses incurred in connection with Board service, reimburse and advance to each Board Nominee such Board Nominee’s expenses, indemnify the Board Nominee, and provide them with coverage pursuant to director and officer insurance to the same extent it compensates, reimburses and advances, indemnifies and provides insurance for the other outside members of the Board pursuant to its organizational documents, applicable law or otherwise. The Company agrees that such indemnification arrangements will provide that such indemnification, reimbursement and advancement will be the primary source of indemnification and reimbursement and advancement of expenses in connection with the matters covered thereby and payment thereon will be made before, offset and reduce any other indemnity or expense reimbursement or advancement to which a Board Nominee may be entitled or which is actually paid in connection with such matters, including as an employee of the respective Principal Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.
1.2 Board Nominee. After the Appointment Date, at the first such time that a Board Right Purchaser and its Affiliates beneficially own less than 5% of the Common Shares, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, such Board Right Purchaser shall no longer have the right to designate any Board Nominee.
ARTICLE II
RIGHT OF PURCHASE
2.1 Right of Purchase.
Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Section 2.1, the Company grants to the Principal Purchasers a right to purchase or subscribe for such Principal Purchaser’s Pro Rata Portion calculated as of the date of delivery of any notice pursuant to Section 2.1(a) of any New Financing actually issued or raised, as applicable, which the Company may, from time to time, propose to issue and sell or raise, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any New Financing is being raised pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act (a “Registered Offering”) or filing of a prospectus with any of the Canadian Securities Commissions to qualify for distribution any Common Shares (a “Prospectus Offering”), each Principal Purchaser will be entitled to purchase up to its Pro Rata Portion of the New Financing in a simultaneous private placement with the Registered Offering or Prospectus Offering, or, at such Principal Purchaser’s option (and to the extent permitted under applicable securities laws), as part of the Registered Offering or Prospectus Offering, but otherwise on the same terms as the Registered Offering or Prospectus Offering, to the extent an exemption from registration for such transaction is available at such time.
-3-
(a) In the event the Company proposes to undertake a New Financing, it shall give the Principal Purchasers written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Financing and the price and terms upon which the Company proposes to issue or borrow the same. Each Principal Purchaser shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of delivery of any such notice to agree to purchase or subscribe for up to its Pro Rata Portion of such New Financing, for the price and upon the terms specified in the notice, by delivering written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of the New Financing to be purchased or subscribed for, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company receives a “bought deal” letter (which means a fully underwritten commitment, subject to customary conditions, from an underwriter or underwriters) relating to a New Financing by way of Registered Offering or Prospectus Offering, the Company shall give the Principal Purchasers such written notice contemplated herein as is practicable under the circumstances given the speed and urgency with which “bought deals” are currently carried out in common market practice of its rights to participate thereunder and the Principal Purchasers shall have at least 24 hours from the time the Company notifies the Principal Purchasers of such “bought deal” to provide such notice to agree to purchase or subscribe for up to its Pro Rata Portion of such New Financing, for the price and upon the terms specified in the notice, by delivering written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of the New Financing to be purchased or subscribed for, as applicable.
(b) The Company shall have ninety (90) days following the five- (5-) Business Day period described in Section 2.1(a) to sell or raise, as applicable, or enter into an agreement (pursuant to which the New Financing covered thereby shall be closed, if at all, within thirty (30) days from the date of said agreement) to sell or raise, as applicable, the New Financing with respect to which the Principal Purchasers’ purchase or subscription right was not exercised, at a price no more favorable and upon other terms no more favorable in the aggregate to the purchasers of such financing than specified in the Company’s notice. In the event the Company has not sold or raised the New Financing or entered into an agreement to sell or raise the New Financing within said ninety- (90-) day period (or sold and issued or raised New Financing in accordance with the foregoing within thirty (30) days from the date of said agreement), the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell or raise any New Financing without first providing a new notice to the Purchasers in the manner provided above.
2.2 Post Closing Notice. Notwithstanding anything in this ARTICLE II to the contrary, if (a) the Board determines in good faith that the Company’s ability to consummate the New Financing would be adversely impacted by virtue of compliance with the advance notice provisions contained in Section 2.1(a), and (b) such New Financing is permissible under the rules of the principal securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are traded, the Company may issue or raise such New Financing without providing such notice and without regard to the provisions of this ARTICLE II prior to such issuance, including the Principal Purchasers’ right of purchase as provided herein. After the consummation of such New Financing without providing such advance notice in reliance on this Section 2.2, the Company shall provide the Principal Purchasers written notice (the “Post Closing Notice”) of the fact that the Company issued or raised such New Financing, that such transaction has been consummated, and that the notice required by Section 2.1(a) was not provided in reliance on this Section 2.2. The Post Closing Notice shall set forth the type of New Financing issued or raised, and the price and the terms upon which such New Financing was issued or raised. The Purchasers shall have twenty (20) days from the delivery of such Post Closing Notice to elect to purchase or subscribe for up to the Principal Purchasers’ Pro Rata Portion of such New Financing, for the price and upon the terms specified in such Post Closing Notice (other than in respect of the method of distribution, which shall be determined at the Company’s discretion in order to ensure compliance with applicable securities laws), and the closing of such sale to the Principal Purchasers so electing shall be consummated as promptly as practicable thereafter but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the Principal Purchasers’ response was due (subject to extension for any required regulatory or stock exchange approvals, shareholder approvals or arrangement of any necessary financing by the Principal Purchaser).
