Canadian Legends
Any certificate representing Common Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to the date which is four months and one day after the date the Company becomes a “reporting issuer” in Canada will bear the following legends (or other legend as required to comply with applicable securities laws):
“UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE THE DATE THAT IS 4 MONTHS AND A DAY AFTER THE LATER OF (I) MAY 2, 2019, AND (II) THE DATE THE CORPORATION BECAME A REPORTING ISSUER IN ANY PROVINCE OR TERRITORY OF CANADA.”
provided that at any time subsequent to the date which is four months and one day after the date the Company became a “reporting issuer” any certificate representing such Common Shares may be exchanged for a certificate bearing no such legends.
U.S. Resale Restrictions and Legends
This Warrant and the Common Shares to be issued upon its exercise have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States. This Warrant may not be exercised in the United States, or by or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person or a person in the United States, unless (i) the Common Shares are registered under the U.S. Securities Act and the applicable laws of any such state, or (ii) an exemption from such registration requirements is available, and (iii) the Warrantholder has complied with the requirements set forth in the subscription form attached hereto as Schedule “C”.
Any Common Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant in the United States, or to or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person or a person in the United States, will be “restricted securities”, as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act. The certificates representing such Common Shares, as well as all certificates issued in exchange or in substitution therefor, until such time as is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws, will bear, on the face of such certificate, the following legends:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “U.S. SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING SUCH SECURITIES, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF CANIVATE GROWING SYSTEMS LTD. (THE “CORPORATION”) THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO THE CORPORATION; (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT; (C) WITHIN THE UNITED STATES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULES 144 THEREUNDER, IF AVAILABLE, AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS; OR (D) IN A TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND, IN THE CASE OF PARAGRAPH (C) OR (D), THE SELLER FURNISHES TO THE CORPORATION AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OF RECOGNIZED STANDING IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION TO SUCH EFFECT.
THE PRESENCE OF THIS LEGEND MAY IMPAIR THE ABILITY OF THE HOLDER HEREOF TO EFFECT “GOOD DELIVERY” OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ON A CANADIAN STOCK EXCHANGE. A CERTIFICATE WITHOUT A LEGEND MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT OF THE CORPORATION IN CONNECTION WITH A SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY AT A TIME WHEN THE CORPORATION IS A “FOREIGN ISSUER” AS DEFINED IN REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT, UPON DELIVERY OF THIS CERTIFICATE, AN EXECUTED DECLARATION AND, IF REQUESTED BY THE CORPORATION OR THE TRANSFER AGENT, AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OF RECOGNIZED STANDING, EACH IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION AND ITS TRANSFER AGENT, TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT.”
provided, that if the Common Shares are being sold outside the United States in compliance with the requirements of Rule 904 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act at a time when the Corporation is a “foreign issuer”, as defined in Rule 902(e) of Regulation S at the time of sale, the legends set forth above may be removed by providing a declaration to the Corporation and its registrar and transfer agent, as set forth in Schedule “D” attached hereto (or in such other form as the Corporation prescribe from time to time); and provided, further, that, if the Common Shares are being sold otherwise than in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S and other than to the Corporation, the legends may be removed by delivery to the Corporation and its registrar and transfer agent of an opinion of counsel, of recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, that such legends are no longer required under applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities Act or state securities laws.
7. | Transfer: The Warrants are transferable subject to compliance with applicable laws, including the rules and policies of any securities regulatory authority having jurisdiction any and any stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed or traded. The term “Warrantholder” shall be deemed to include any successor, transferee or assignee of the current or any future Warrantholder. The Warrants may be transferred by the Warrantholder by completing and delivering to the Corporation the transfer form attached hereto as Schedule “E”, together with any such additional documentation or legal opinions reasonably required by the Corporation to evidence compliance with applicable laws. The Corporation shall issue and deliver, as soon as practicable and in any event within three (3) business days of delivery of such documentation, a new Warrant Certificate registered in the name of such transferee or as the transferee may direct and shall take all other necessary actions to effect the transfer as directed, which warrant certificate shall be endorsed with such legends as required to ensure compliance with applicable laws. |
| |
8. | Covenants, Representations and Warranties: The Corporation hereby represents and warrants that it is authorized to create and issue the Warrants and covenants and agrees that it will cause the Common Shares from time to time subscribed for and purchased in the manner provided in this Warrant Certificate and the certificate or certificates representing such Common Shares to be issued and that, at all times prior to the Expiry Time on the Expiry Date, it will reserve and there will remain unissued a sufficient number of Common Shares to satisfy the right of purchase provided for in this Warrant Certificate. The Corporation hereby further covenants and agrees that it will at its expense expeditiously use its best efforts to obtain the listing of such Common Shares (subject to issue or notice of issue) on each stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Common Shares may be listed from time to time. All Common Shares which are issued upon the exercise of the right of purchase provided in this Warrant Certificate, upon payment therefor of the amount at which such Common Shares may be purchased pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant Certificate, shall be and be deemed to be fully paid and non-assessable shares and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Corporation hereby represents and warrants that this Warrant Certificate is a valid and enforceable obligation of the Corporation, enforceable in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant Certificate. |
| a) | Adjustments: The Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares issuable to the Warrantholder upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in the events and in the manner provided as follows: |
| i. | If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall: |
| 1) | fix a record date for the issue of, or issue, Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend; |
| 2) | fix a record date for the distribution to, or make a distribution to, the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares payable in Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares; |
| | |
| 3) | subdivide, redivide or exchange the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares; or |
| | |
| 4) | consolidate, combine or reduce the outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of Common Shares, |
(any of such events in subclauses 9(a)(i)(1), 9(a)(i)(2), 9(a)(i)(3) and 9(a)(i)(4) above being herein called a “Common Share Reorganization”), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted on the earlier of the record date on which holders of Common Shares are determined for the purposes of the Common Share Reorganization and the effective date of the Common Share Reorganization to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date or effective date, as the case may be, by a fraction:
| A. | the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date or effective date, as the case may be, before giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization; and |
| | |
| B. | the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares which will be outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization (including in the case of a distribution of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares on such date). |
| | To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this clause 9(a)(i) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the distribution of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exchange or conversion right to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiry and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right. Any Warrantholder who has not exercised his right to subscribe for and purchase Common Shares on or prior to the record date of such stock dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision or consolidation, as the case may be, upon the exercise of such right thereafter shall be entitled to receive and shall accept in lieu of the number of Common Shares then subscribed for and purchased by such Warrantholder, at the Exercise Price determined in accordance with this clause 9(a)(i) the aggregate number of Common Shares that such Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Common Share Reorganization, if, on such record date or effective date, as the case may be, such Warrantholder had been the holder of record of the number of Common Shares so subscribed for and purchased. |
| | |
| ii. | If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issue or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares of rights, options or warrants pursuant to which such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue (such period being the “Rights Period”), to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares at a price per share to the holder (or in the case of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, at an exchange or conversion price per share) at the date of issue of such securities of less than 95% of the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date (any of such events being called a “Rights Offering”), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date for such Rights Offering to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction: |
| 1) | the numerator of which shall be the aggregate of |
| A. | the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date for the Rights Offering, and |
| | |
| B. | the quotient determined by dividing |
| I. | either (a) the product of the number of Common Shares offered during the Rights Period pursuant to the Rights Offering and the price at which such Common Shares are offered, or, (b) the product of the exchange or conversion price of the securities so offered and the number of Common Shares for or into which the securities offered pursuant to the Rights Offering may be exchanged or converted, as the case may be, by |
| | |
| II. | the Current Market Price of the Common Shares as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and |
| 2) | the denominator of which shall be the aggregate of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the number of Common Shares offered pursuant to the Rights Offering (including in the case of the issue or distribution of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares the number of Common Shares for or into which such securities may be exchanged or converted). |
| | If by the terms of the rights, options, or warrants referred to in this clause 9(a)(ii), there is more than one purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, 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 or exchangeable securities so offered, shall be calculated for purposes of the adjustment on the basis of the lowest purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, as the case may be. Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such calculation. To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this clause 9(a)(ii) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the issue or distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to in this clause 9(a)(ii), the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiry and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right. |
| | |
| iii. | If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issue or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares of: |
| 1) | shares of the Corporation of any class other than Common Shares; |
| | |
| 2) | rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares (other than rights, options or warrants pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares at a price per share (or in the case of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares at an exchange or conversion price per share) at the date of issue of such securities to the holder of at least 95% of the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date); |
| | |
| 3) | evidences of indebtedness of the Corporation; or |
| 4) | any property or assets of the Corporation; |
and if such issue or distribution does not constitute a Common Share Reorganization or a Rights Offering (any of such non-excluded events being herein called a “Special Distribution”), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date for the Special Distribution to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on the record date for the Special Distribution by a fraction:
| A. | the numerator of which shall be the difference between |
| I. | the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date, and |
| | |
| II. | the fair value, as determined by the directors of the Corporation, to the holders of Common Shares of the shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or property or assets to be issued or distributed in the Special Distribution, and |
| B. | the denominator of which shall be the product obtained by multiplying the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date by the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date. |
Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of such calculation. To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this clause 9(a)(iii) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the issue or distribution of rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares referred to in this clause 9(a)(iii), the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exercise, exchange or conversion right to the amount which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares issued and remaining issuable after such expiry and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right.
| iv. | If at any time during the Adjustment Period there shall occur: |
| 1) | a reclassification or redesignation of the Common Shares, a change of the Common Shares into other shares or securities or any other capital reorganization involving the Common Shares other than a Common Share Reorganization; |
| 2) | a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Corporation or other form of business combination with or into another body corporate which results in a reclassification or redesignation of the Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other shares or securities; |
| | |
| 3) | the transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or entity; |
| | (any of such events being called a “Capital Reorganization”), after the effective date of the Capital Reorganization the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept, for the same aggregate consideration, upon exercise of the Warrants, in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which the Warrantholder was theretofor entitled upon the exercise of the Warrants, the kind and aggregate number of shares and other securities or property resulting from the Capital Reorganization which the Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the Warrantholder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares which the Warrantholder was theretofore entitled to purchase or receive upon the exercise of the Warrants. If necessary, as a result of any such Capital Reorganization, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant Certificate with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Warrantholder to the end that the provisions shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be possible in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants. |
| | |
| v. | If at any time during the Adjustment Period any adjustment or readjustment in the Exercise Price shall occur pursuant to the provisions of clause 9(a)(i), 9(a)(ii) or 9(a)(iii) of this Warrant Certificate, then the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the subsequent exercise of the Warrants shall be simultaneously adjusted or readjusted, as the case may be, by multiplying the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment by a fraction which shall be the reciprocal of the fraction used in the adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price. |
| b) | Rules: The following rules and procedures shall be applicable to adjustments made pursuant to subsection 9(a) hereof: |
| i. | Subject to the following clauses of this subsection 9(b), any adjustment made pursuant to subsection 9(a) hereof shall be made successively whenever an event referred to therein shall occur. |
| ii. | No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least one per cent in the then Exercise Price and no adjustment shall be made in the number of Common Shares purchasable or issuable on the exercise of the Warrants unless it would result in a change of at least one one-hundredth of a Common Share; provided, however, that any adjustments which except for the provision of this clause 9(b)(ii) would otherwise have been required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. Notwithstanding any other provision of subsection 9(a) hereof, no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made which would result in an increase in the Exercise Price or a decrease in the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants (except in respect of the Common Share Reorganization described in subclause 9(a)(i)(4) hereof or a Capital Reorganization described in subclause 9(a)(iv)(2) hereof). |
| | |
| iii. | No adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number or kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be made in respect of any event described in section 9 hereof if the Warrantholder is entitled to participate in such event on the same terms mutatis mutandis as if the Warrantholder had exercised the Warrants prior to or on the record date or effective date, as the case may be, of such event. |
| | |
| iv. | No adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be made pursuant to subsection 9(a) hereof in respect of the issue from time to time of Common Shares pursuant to this Warrant Certificate or pursuant to any stock option, stock purchase or stock bonus plan in effect from time to time for directors, officers or employees of the Corporation and/or any subsidiary of the Corporation and any such issue, and any grant of options in connection therewith, shall be deemed not to be a Common Share Reorganization, a Rights Offering nor any other event described in subsection 9(a) hereof. |
| | |
| v. | If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Common Shares, other than an action described in subsection 9(a) hereof, which in the opinion of the directors would have a material adverse effect upon the rights of Warrantholders, either or both the Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of Warrants shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time by action by the directors, in their sole discretion, as may be equitable in the circumstances. Failure of the taking of action by the directors so as to provide for an adjustment prior to the effective date of any action by the Corporation affecting the Common Shares shall be deemed to be conclusive evidence that the directors have determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances. |
| | |
| vi. | If the Corporation shall set a record date to determine holders of Common Shares for the purpose of entitling such holders to receive any dividend or distribution or any subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to such holders of any such dividend, distribution or subscription or purchase rights, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution or subscription or purchase rights, then no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be required by reason of the setting of such record date. |
| vii. | In any case in which this Warrant Certificate shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to in subsection 9(a) hereof, the Corporation may defer, until the occurrence of such event: |
| 1) | issuing to the Warrantholder, to the extent that the Warrants are exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event, the additional Common Shares or other securities issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event; and |
| | |
| 2) | delivering to the Warrantholder any distribution declared with respect to such additional Common Shares or other securities after such record date and before such event; |
| | provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver to the Warrantholder an appropriate instrument evidencing the right of the Warrantholder upon the occurrence of the event requiring the adjustment, to an adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants and to such distribution declared with respect to any such additional Common Shares issuable on the exercise of the Warrants. |
| | |
| viii. | In the absence of a resolution of the directors fixing a record date for a Rights Offering, the Corporation shall be deemed to have fixed as the record date therefor the date of the issue of the rights, options or warrants issued pursuant to the Rights Offering. |
| | |
| ix. | If a dispute shall at any time arise with respect to adjustments of the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants, such disputes shall be conclusively determined by the auditors of the Corporation or if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such other firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by the directors and any such determination shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any adjustment made pursuant to subsection 9(a) hereof and shall be binding upon the Corporation and the Warrantholder. |
| | |
