Period and there remain any Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant Certificate, this Warrant Certificate shall be deemed to be automatically exercised for the full number of remaining Warrant Shares, without the requirement for the delivery of an Exercise Certificate, and the Holder shall receive its pro rata share of the proceeds from such Liquidity Event as if the Warrant Shares were outstanding immediately prior to such Liquidity Event (subject to set-off against the Aggregate Exercise Price); provided that:

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Holder opts out of having the Warrant Certificate exercised in connection with an In-the-Money Liquidity Event then: (x) if the Liquidity Event involves a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity and the Company is the surviving entity following the consummation of the Liquidity Event, this Warrant Certificate shall continue to remain outstanding following the consummation of the Liquidity Event for the duration of the Exercise Period; and (y) if the Liquidity Event involves a merger or consolidation and the Company is not the surviving entity following the consummation of the Liquidity Event, this Warrant Certificate shall be reissued, in accordance with Section 4(d) below, for equity securities in the entity that survives the Liquidity Event and shall remain outstanding for the duration of the Exercise Period.

The provisions set forth in Article B, Section 4.4 (Adjustments to Class A Conversion Price for Diluting Issues) of the Company Articles in effect as of the Original Issue Date may not be amended, modified or waived, without the prior written consent of Holder unless such amendment, modification or waiver affects the rights associated with the Warrant Shares in the same manner as such amendment, modification or waiver affects the rights associated with all other shares of the same series and class as the Warrant Shares granted to Holder.

(b) Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, make or declare, or fix a record date for the determination of

 

11


holders of Preferred Shares or Common Shares entitled to receive, a dividend or any other distribution payable in securities of the Company, then, and in each such event, the Company shall ensure that provisions are made so that the Holder shall receive upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate, in addition to the number of Warrant Shares receivable thereupon, the kind and amount of securities of the Company which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Warrant Certificate been exercised in full into Warrant Shares on the date of such event and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Exercise Date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the Holder; provided that no such provision shall be made if the Holder receives, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Preferred Shares and/or Common Shares, a dividend or other distribution of such securities, in an amount equal to the amount of such securities as the Holder would have received if this Warrant Certificate had been exercised in full into Warrant Shares on the date of such event.

(c) Adjustment to Exercise Price and Warrant Shares Upon Subdivision or Combination. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, subdivide (by any share split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Preferred Shares or Common Shares into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to any such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse share split or otherwise) its outstanding Preferred Shares or Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 4(c) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(d) Adjustment to Exercise Price and Warrant Shares Upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger.

(i) Unless the Holder otherwise consents (in its sole discretion), the event of any (A) capital reorganization of the Company, (B) reclassification of the capital of the Company (other than as a result of any dividend or distribution covered by Section 4(b)), including with respect to a public offering, (C) other similar transaction (other than any such transaction covered by Section 4(c)) or (D) Liquidity Event in which the Warrant Certificate is not exercised, in each case which entitles the holders of Preferred Shares or Common Shares to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) shares, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Preferred Shares or Common Shares:

(1) this Warrant Certificate shall, immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Warrant Shares then exercisable under this Warrant Certificate, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares or other securities or assets of the Company or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction if the Holder

 

12


had exercised this Warrant Certificate in full immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction and acquired the applicable number of Warrant Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such exercise (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant Certificate); and

(2) appropriate adjustment (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder) shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant Certificate to insure that the provisions of this Section 4 shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to this Warrant Certificate in relation to any shares, securities or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate (including, in the case of any consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction in which the successor or purchasing Person is other than the Company, an immediate adjustment in the Exercise Price to the value per share for the Class A Preferred Shares reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, and a corresponding adjustment immediately shall be made to the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate, without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise, if the value so reflected is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction).

The provisions of this Section 4(d) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or similar transactions.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: (x) with respect to any corporate event or other transaction contemplated by this Section 4(d), the Holder shall have the right to elect, prior to the consummation of such event or transaction, to exercise its rights under Section 2 instead of giving effect to Section 4(d)(i); and (y) if, in connection with a public offering, the Class A Conversion Price (as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation) is adjusted pursuant to Article B, Section 5.1 (Mandatory Conversion: Trigger Events) of the Company Articles, the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate shall be similarly adjusted.

(e) Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 4 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of share appreciation rights, phantom share rights or other rights with equity features) occurs, then the Board shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate so as to protect the rights of the Holder in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 4; provided that in connection with such event this Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Shares shall not be treated in a manner less favorable than the Class A Shares and the Holder shall not be treated in a manner less favorable than the holders of such Class A Shares.

(f) Certificate as to Adjustment.

(i) As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the Exercise Price, but in any event not later than three Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.

 

13


(ii) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Company of a written request by the Holder, but in any event not later than three Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer certifying the Exercise Price then in effect and the number of Warrant Shares or the amount, if any, of other shares, securities or assets then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate.

(g) Notices. In the event that the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Class A Preferred Shares (or other capital or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate):

(i) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, to vote at a meeting (or by written consent), to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or

(ii) approving or enabling any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the Class A Preferred Shares or Common Shares of the Company or any Liquidity Event;

then, and in each such case, the Company shall send or cause to be sent to the Holder at least ten (10) days prior to the applicable record date or the applicable expected effective date, as the case may be, for the event, a written notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the record date for such dividend, distribution, meeting or consent or other right or action, and a description of such dividend, distribution or other right or action to be taken at such meeting or by written consent, or (B) the effective date on which such capital reorganization, reclassification or Liquidity Event is proposed to take place, and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken with respect to which the holders of record of Class A Preferred Shares (or such other capital or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Class A Preferred Shares (or such other capital or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such capital reorganization, reclassification or Liquidity Event, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to this Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Shares.

Section 5. [Reserved]

Section 6. Registration Rights.

 

(a) The Company and the Holder agree that, as of the Original Issue Date:

(i) The Warrant Shares shall have certain registration rights pursuant to and as set forth in the Investors’ Rights Agreement;

(ii) The Holder shall be deemed to be an “Investor” for all purposes under the Investors’ Rights Agreement;

(iii) The Warrant Shares shall be “Registrable Securities” under the Investors’ Rights Agreement, and the Holder shall be a “Holder” (as defined in the Investors’ Rights Agreement), for all purposes under the Investors’ Rights Agreement, including prior to exercise

 

14


of this Warrant Certificate, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Holder may not require that the Warrant Shares be registered on a Trading Market unless and until this Warrant Certificate has been validly exercised with respect to the Warrant Shares to be so registered and such Warrant Shares are eligible to be so registered in accordance with applicable law; and

(b) The provisions set forth in the Investors’ Rights Agreement, or any similar or replacement agreement relating to the registration rights of Registrable Securities (including the Warrant Shares), may not be amended, modified or waived without the prior written consent of Holder unless such amendment, modification or waiver affects the rights associated with the Warrant Shares in the same manner as such amendment, modification, or waiver affects the rights associated with all other shares of the same series and class as the Warrant Shares.

Section 7. Warrant Register. The Company shall keep and properly maintain at its principal executive offices a register (the “Warrant Register”) for the registration of this Warrant Certificate and any transfers thereof. The Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Warrant Certificate is registered on such register as the Holder thereof for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, except any assignment, division, combination or other transfer of this Warrant Certificate effected in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant Certificate.

Section 8. Transfer of Warrant Certificate. Subject to Section 12 hereof, this Warrant Certificate and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, by the Holder without charge to the Holder, upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate to the Company at its then principal executive offices with a properly completed and duly executed Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, together with funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes in connection with the making of such transfer. Upon such compliance, surrender and delivery and, if required, such payment of any transfer taxes, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the portion of this Warrant Certificate, if any, not so assigned and this Warrant Certificate shall promptly be cancelled.

Section 9. The Holder Not Deemed a Shareholder; Limitations on Liability. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares to which the Holder is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant Certificate, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant Certificate be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of shares, reclassification of shares, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant Certificate shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate or otherwise) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 9, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information and inspection rights given to the Major Investors pursuant to Section 3.1 and 3.2 of the Investors’ Rights Agreement.

 

15


Section 10. Replacement on Loss; Division and Combination.

(a) Replacement of Warrant Certificate on Loss. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate and upon delivery of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (it being understood that a written indemnification agreement or affidavit of loss of the Holder shall be a sufficient indemnity) and, in case of mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant Certificate for cancellation to the Company, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver to the Holder, in lieu hereof, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and exercisable for an equivalent number of Warrant Shares as this Warrant Certificate so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed; provided that, in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant Certificate in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.

(b) Division and Combination of Warrant Certificate. Subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant Certificate as to any transfer or other assignment which may be involved in such division or combination, this Warrant Certificate may be divided or, following any such division of this Warrant Certificate, subsequently combined with other Warrant Certificates, upon the surrender of this Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates to the Company at its then principal executive offices, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrant Certificates are to be issued, signed by the respective Holders or their agents or attorneys. Subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant Certificate as to any transfer or assignment which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall at its own expense execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates in exchange for this Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates so surrendered in accordance with such notice. Such new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates shall be of like tenor to the surrendered Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates and shall be exercisable in the aggregate for an equivalent number of Warrant Shares as this Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates so surrendered in accordance with such notice.

Section 11. No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of the Company Articles or its Bylaws, through any shareholders, voting or similar agreement, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant Certificate and in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the Holder in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of this Warrant Certificate.

Section 12. Compliance with the Securities Act and Market Stand-Off.

(a) Agreement to Comply with the Securities Act, etc.

(i) Legend. The Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant Certificate, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 12 and the restrictive legend requirements set forth on the face of this Warrant Certificate and further agrees that such Holder shall not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant Certificate or any Warrant Shares to be

 

16


issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Securities Act and applicable Canadian securities laws. Subject to clause (ii) below, this Warrant Certificate and all Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate (unless registered under the Securities Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE OR FOREIGN SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED UNLESS (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING SUCH SHARES IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE ACT AND IS QUALIFIED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE AND FOREIGN LAW OR (II) THE TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE ACT AND THE QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER APPLICABLE STATE AND FOREIGN LAW AND, IF THE COMPANY REQUESTS, AN OPINION SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO SUCH EFFECT HAS BEEN RENDERED BY COUNSEL.

UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER CANADIAN 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) JUNE 2, 2016 AND (II) THE DATE THE COMPANY BECAME A “REPORTING ISSUER” IN ANY PROVINCE OR TERRITORY OF CANADA.

(ii) Removal of Restrictive Legends. Neither this Warrant Certificate nor any certificates evidencing Warrant Shares or any other Shares issuable or deliverable under or in connection with this Warrant Certificate shall contain any legend restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend set forth above in clause (i)) in any of the following circumstances: (A) following any sale of this Warrant Certificate, any Warrant Shares or any other Shares issued or delivered to the Holder under or in connection here with pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to a Registration Statement covering the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares, (B) if this Warrant Certificate, Warrant Shares or any other such Share are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1), or (C) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) or (D) in respect of the Canadian securities legend set forth above, in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). The Company shall not require Holder to provide an opinion of counsel if there is no material question as to the availability of current information as referenced in Rule 144(c). If the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the time of issuance of this Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Shares or such other Shares, then this Warrant Certificate, Warrant Shares or other Shares, as the case may be, shall be issued free of all legends.

 

17


(iii) Replacement Warrant Certificate. The Company agrees that at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions have been satisfied it shall promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) following written request from the Holder issue a replacement Warrant Certificate or replacement Warrant Shares or replacement shares in respect of such other Shares, as the case may be, free of all restrictive legends.

(iv) Sale of Unlegended Shares. The Holder agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from this Warrant Certificate and any certificates representing securities as set forth in Section 12(a)(ii) above is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Holder will sell this Warrant Certificate or any such securities (i) pursuant to either an effective Registration Statement or otherwise pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, or (ii) in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.

(b) Representations of the Holder. In connection with the issuance of this Warrant Certificate, the Holder specifically represents, as of the date hereof, to the Company by acceptance of this Warrant Certificate as follows:

(i) The Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and CSA National Instrument 45-106 Exempt Distributions. The Holder is acquiring this Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof for investment for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant Certificate or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act or applicable Canadian securities laws.

(ii) The Holder understands and acknowledges that this Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that, under such laws and applicable regulations, such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act or a final prospectus under applicable Canadian securities laws only in certain limited circumstances. In addition, the Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act and with CSA National Instrument 45-102 Resale of Securities, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act and under other applicable Canadian securities laws.

(iii) The Holder acknowledges that it can bear the economic and financial risk of its investment for an indefinite period, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in this Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Shares. The Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of this Warrant Certificate and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company.

 

18


(c) Market Standoff. Holder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the registration by the Company of shares of its Common Shares or any other equity securities under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form F-1, and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed 180 days in the case of the Company’s initial public offering, or such other period as may be reasonably requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (a) the publication or other distribution of research reports, and (b) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto), (i) lend; offer; pledge; sell; contract to sell; sell any option or contract to purchase; purchase any option or contract to sell; grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase; or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or indirectly) for Common Shares (whether such shares or any such securities are then owned by the Holder or are thereafter acquired) or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Shares or other securities, in cash, or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 12(c) shall apply only to the IPO, shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, and shall be applicable to the Holders only if all officers, directors and all shareholders individually owning more than 2% of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares (after giving effect to conversion into Common Shares of all outstanding Class A Preferred Shares) are subject to substantially similar restrictions. The underwriters in connection with such registration are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 12(c) and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Each Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with such registration that are consistent with this Section 12(c) or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.

Section 13. Events of Failure.

(a) Failure of Payment, etc. For so long as any Event of Failure continues, the Company hereby agrees to pay additional compensation (“Additional Compensation”) to the Holder (which, the parties agree, is to be treated as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) in the form of a per annum fee accruing at a rate of 10% per annum on an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of Warrant Shares representing the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant Certificate multiplied by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one Class A Preferred Share as of immediately prior to the date on which the Holder delivers written notice to the Company of the occurrence of such Event of Failure (a “Failure Notice”). Additional Compensation shall continue to accrue until such Event of Failure has been cured or waived. Additional Compensation shall be paid in cash or, at the Company’s option in shares of Class A Preferred Stock (or, following a public offering, in unrestricted Common Stock) with a Fair Market Value equal to the Additional Compensation (“Additional Compensation Shares”). Additional Compensation, whether payable in cash or in Additional Compensation Shares, is in addition to any Warrant Shares that the Holder is entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate.

 

19


(b) Payment of Accrued Additional Compensation. Additional Compensation shall be payable, whether in cash or shares, as the case may be, on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day following the last day of each calendar month during which an Event of Failure has occurred or continued. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue a claim for specific performance or injunctive relief. Notwithstanding the above, if a particular Event of Failure results in an Event of Default pursuant to Section 14 hereof, then the Additional Compensation in respect of such Event of Failure shall be considered to have been satisfied upon payment to the Holder of an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Additional Compensation and (ii) the Default Amount payable in accordance with Section 14.

Section 14. Redemption.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, at the option of the Holder exercised by way of delivery of written notice to the Company (a “Redemption Notice”), the Holder shall have the right to demand a redemption (a “Redemption”) of (i) in the event of a Registration Failure, the exercised Warrant Shares to be registered pursuant to the Investors’ Rights Agreement, up to the Redemption Cap (as defined below); (ii) in the event of a Delivery Failure, the exercised Warrant Shares which the Company has failed to deliver, up to the Redemption Cap; and (iii) in the event of a Transfer Delivery Failure, the portion of this Warrant Certificate which the Company has failed to transfer, up to the Redemption Cap.

(b) Upon the Holder’s election to cause a Redemption, the Company shall be obligated to pay to the Holder an amount (the “Redemption Amount”), after deduction of an amount equal to the then-applicable Exercise Price with respect to any unexercised Warrant Shares to be redeemed, equal to:

(i) in the case of a Registration Failure or Delivery Failure, the product of (1) the number of Warrant Shares to be redeemed multiplied by (2) the Fair Market Value of one Class A Preferred Share (or, following the Company’s public offering, one Common Share); and

(ii) (ii) in the case of a Transfer Delivery Failure, the product of (1) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the portion of the Warrant Certificate the Company has failed to transfer (up to the Redemption Cap) multiplied by (2) the Fair Market Value of one Class A Preferred Share (or, following the Company’s public offering, one Common Share).

(c) The Redemption Amount shall be payable in cash within three (3) Business Days following the date of delivery of the Redemption Notice. To the extent the Redemption Amount is not paid in full when due, the unpaid portion thereof shall accrue interest at a rate of 15% per annum until paid in full. All rights with respect to such redeemed Warrant Shares or Warrant Certificate (or portion thereof) shall terminate following the Redemption.

(d) For purposes of this Section 14, (i) the “Redemption Cap” shall be 50% of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate, (ii) for purposes of calculating the Redemption Cap, all Warrant Shares redeemed pursuant to this Section 14 (in a single transaction or in a series of related or unrelated transactions) shall be aggregated, and (iii), for the

 

20


avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be required to redeem in excess of 352,041 Warrant Shares or any portion of this Warrant Certificate exercisable for in excess of 352,041 Warrant Shares, in each case, as adjusted for any share dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares or similar transaction.

Section 15. Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by facsimile or e-mail of a PDF document (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient; or (d) on the third day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Such communications must be sent to the respective parties at the addresses indicated below (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 15).

21


Section 17. Equitable Relief. Each of the Company and the Holder acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations under this Warrant Certificate would give rise to irreparable harm to the other party hereto for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such party of any such obligations, the other party hereto shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction. The Holder and the Company further acknowledge and agree that (i) sums payable hereunder, including in respect of Additional Compensation or the Redemption Amount, are meant to be treated as liquidated damages and not penalties, (ii) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred by the Holder as a result of the Company’s breach of any its obligations hereunder is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (iv) the amounts payable hereunder (and calculations in respect thereof) are reasonable and are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be incurred by the Holder, and (v) the parties hereto are sophisticated business parties and have been represented by sophisticated and able legal and financial counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm’s length.

Section 20. No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Warrant Certificate shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or any proceeding in such courts and irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

THE UNDERSIGNED, Perceptive Credit Holdings, LP, is the holder (in such capacity, the “Holder”) of a warrant certificate issued by Zymeworks Inc., a corporation existing under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “Company”), bearing Warrant Certificate No. A-2 (the “Warrant Certificate”), entitling the Holder to purchase up to [            ] shares of the Company’s Class A Preferred Shares.
