The right to purchase the Common Stock may be exercised in whole or in part at the Exercise Price within the times set forth as follows:

 

(a)if the Holder is paying the Exercise Price in cash, by:

 

(i)completing and executing the subscription form attached as Schedule “A” (the “Cash Payment Subscription Form”) for the number of shares of Common Stock which the Holder wishes to purchase, in the manner therein indicated;

(iii)paying the appropriate Exercise Price, denominated in U.S. dollars (US$), for the number of shares of Common Stock subscribed for, either by certified check or bank draft or money order payable to the Company.

 

- 4 -

 

 

(b)if the Holder is paying for the Exercise Price in Warrants by way of the Cashless Exercise Option specified under Section 5, by:

 

(i)completing and executing the subscription form attached as Schedule “B” (the “Cashless Subscription Form”, and together with the Cash Payment Subscription Form, the “Exercise Subscription Forms”) attached hereto for the number of shares of Common Stock which the Holder wishes to purchase, in the manner therein indicated; and

 

(ii)surrendering this Warrant Certificate, together with the completed Cashless Subscription Form, to the Company at 9319 Robert D. Snyder Rd., Portal 316, Charlotte, North Carolina 28223 or such other address as the Company may direct by written notice.

 

(2)Upon surrender and payment, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock subscribed for and will deliver to the Holder, at the address set forth on the applicable Exercise Subscription Form, a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of shares of Common Stock subscribed for, as applicable, within five (5) Business Days of the date of actual surrender and payment. If, and only if, the Directors’ Market Price is the applicable Fair Market Price used to determine the number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants by way of the Cashless Exercise Option, the Company shall provide the Holder with a notice specifying the Directors’ Market Price within five (5) Business Days of the date of actual surrender of the Warrant Certificate.

 

(3)If the Holder subscribes for a number of shares of Common Stock which is less than the number of shares of Common Stock permitted by this Warrant Certificate, the Company shall forthwith cause to be delivered to the Holder a further Warrant Certificate in respect of the balance of the Common Stock referred to in this Warrant Certificate not then being subscribed for.

Section 3 EXCHANGE FOR SPAC WARRANTS IN CONNECTION WITH A SPAC TRANSACTION

 

(1)From and after the SPAC Closing Date pursuant to a SPAC Transaction, upon any subsequent exercise of the Warrants, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each share of the Common Stock that otherwise would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of the SPAC Transaction, such number of shares of Resulting Issuer Stock and any additional consideration (collectively, the “SPAC Consideration”) receivable as a result of such SPAC Transaction by a holder of one (1) share of Common Stock prior to such SPAC Transaction. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price following the SPAC Closing Date shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such SPAC Consideration based on the amount of SPAC Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock in such SPAC Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the SPAC Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the SPAC Consideration. The Company shall cause the Resulting Issuer in a SPAC Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity to assume in writing the obligations of the Company to issue Resulting Issuer Stock upon exercise of this Warrant and may, at the option of the Resulting Issuer, elect to deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant Certificate a security of the Resulting Issuer evidenced by a written instrument (the SPAC Warrant Certificate) substantially similar in economic substance to this Warrant Certificate that is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Resulting Issuer equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the unexercised Warrants under this Warrant Certificate exercisable prior to such SPAC Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the Exercise Price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the Common Stock pursuant to such SPAC Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of the unexercised Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such SPAC Transaction). Upon the Resulting Issuer’s delivery of a SPAC Warrant Certificate exercisable for the number of shares of the Resulting Issuer Stock and an adjusted Exercise Price as set forth above, this Warrant Certificate shall automatically be cancelled and the Holder shall have no further rights hereunder. In the event that the Resulting Issuer is not organized under the law of a jurisdiction in the United States or the primary trading market of the Resulting Issuer is outside the United States, the SPAC Warrant Certificate may provide for governing law, jurisdiction, venue, and ministerial and administrative provisions that the Resulting Issuer determines appropriate. Upon the occurrence of any such SPAC Transaction, the Resulting Issuer shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such SPAC Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant Certificate referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Resulting Issuer), and may exercise every right and power of the Company as if such Resulting Issuer had been named as the Company herein. Following the SPAC Closing Date, the terms “Company” and “Common Stock” as used herein shall refer to the Resulting Issuer and the Resulting Issuer Stock, respectively, unless the context otherwise requires.

 

(2)If necessary, as a result of any SPAC Transaction, appropriate adjustments will be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant Certificate with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions of this Warrant Certificate will thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be possible in relation to any SPAC Warrant Certificate or other securities thereafter deliverable pursuant to Section 3(1). Pursuant to Section 3(1), the Company will seek, acting in good faith, to make adjustments with respect to the issuance of a SPAC Warrant Certificate in connection with a SPAC Transaction as it considers necessary and equitable. If at any time a dispute arises with respect to adjustments provided for in connection with the issuance of a SPAC Warrant Certificate, such dispute will be conclusively determined by the auditors of the Company or, if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such other firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by the directors of the Company and any such determination, absent manifest error, will be binding upon the Company, the Holder and shareholders of the Company. The Company will provide such auditors or accountants with access to all necessary records of the Company and fees payable to such accountants or auditors will be paid by the Company.

 

(3)Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Company shall not be required to issue the Common Stock or, using commercially reasonable efforts, cause the Resulting Issuer Stock to be issued, as the case may be, if the Holder has not executed and delivered a Lock-Up Agreement prior to the closing of the IPO or SPAC Closing Date, as the case may be, or has violated the terms of the Lock-Up Agreement in any material respect.

 

- 6 -

 

 

Section 4 CAPITAL REORGANIZATION

 

(1)If there shall be, prior to the exercise of the Warrants, any (a) reorganization of the authorized capital of the Company by way of consolidation, merger, sub-division, amalgamation, arrangement, reclassification or otherwise, including in connection with a SPAC Transaction; (b) the payment of any stock dividends (other than in the ordinary course of business); (c) a special distribution or rights offering; (d) the change or exchange of the Common Stock or preferred stock of the Company into or with another security (other than the conversion of the Common Stock or preferred stock of the Company), including in connection with a SPAC Transaction; or (e) any similar event or transaction not specifically contemplated by the foregoing subsections (a), (b), (c), and (d), as determined by the Company in its sole discretion (in each case, a “Capital Reorganization”), then there shall automatically be an adjustment, as applicable, in (i) the number and, if applicable, type of securities which may be issued pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, and (ii) the Exercise Price for such securities, such that the rights under this Warrant Certificate following such adjustment shall thereafter be as reasonably as possible equivalent to the rights originally granted hereby and such that the Holder, upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate following the effective date of the Capital Reorganization, shall receive the number and type of securities the Holder would have been entitled to receive if, on the effective date thereof, the Holder had been the registered holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which the Holder was theretofore entitled to purchase or receive upon the exercise of the Warrants.

 

(2)Pursuant to the foregoing, the Company will make adjustments in connection with a Capital Reorganization as it considers necessary and equitable, acting in good faith. If at any time a dispute arises with respect to adjustments provided for in connection with a Capital Reorganization, such dispute will be conclusively determined by the auditors of the Company or if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such other firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by the directors of the Company and any such determination, absent manifest error, will be binding upon the Company, the Holder and shareholders of the Company. The Company will provide such auditors or accountants with access to all necessary records of the Company and fees payable to such accountants or auditors will be paid by the Company.

 

Section 5 CASHLESS EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

 

(1)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and provided that the Warrants could otherwise be exercised in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder may elect to exercise the Warrants, in whole or in part, without payment of the aggregate Exercise Price due on such exercise (a “Cashless Exercise Option”) in the manner set out in this Section 5, as applicable. If the Holder elects the Cashless Exercise Option, the Holder shall provide written notice of the election to the Company in the form of the Cashless Subscription Form. Upon actual receipt by the Company of a Cashless Subscription Form, a certificate or confirmation of book entry registration (as directed by the Holder) for the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock will be delivered to the person(s) in whose name(s) the Common Stock subscribed for is to be issued within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Cashless Subscription Form, such person(s) shall become a holder in respect of such shares of Common Stock with effect from the date of such exercise, and, unless this Warrant Certificate has expired, a new Warrant Certificate representing the unexercised balance of the Warrants, if any, or all of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate having been exercised will also be issued to the Holder within such time.

 

- 7 -

 

 

(2)The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder pursuant to a Cashless Exercise Option shall be determined as follows (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that if the following calculation results in a negative number, then no Common Stock shall be issuable via the Cashless Exercise Option):

 

  X = Y x (A-B)  
  A  

 

Where:X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder upon exercising the Warrants;

 

Y = the number of Warrants being exercised;

 

A = the Applicable Market Price per share of the Common Stock; and

 

B = the Exercise Price of the Warrants.

 

(3)To the extent that this Warrant Certificate is not previously exercised in full by the Holder on or prior to the Expiry Date, and if the Applicable Market Price per share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price with respect to the Common Stock, any such portion of this Warrant Certificate that remains unexercised shall be exercised automatically in whole (and not in part) at the Expiry Date (with the Exercise Price satisfied pursuant to a Cashless Exercise Option in accordance with this Section 5), unless the Holder provides a written instruction to the Company to allow the Warrants to lapse without exercise at least three (3) days prior to the Expiry Date, and such instruction will result in the termination of this Warrant Certificate. To the extent this Warrant Certificate or any portion thereof is deemed automatically exercised pursuant to this Section 5(3), the Company agrees to promptly notify the Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder is to receive by reason of such automatic exercise.

 

(4)If the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder exercising its Warrants on a cashless basis in accordance with Section 5(2) above results in a fractional number, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number with compensation to the Holder therefor for the fractional share of Common Stock to be paid in accordance with Section 2.

 

Section 6 NOTICE

 

(1)Upon completion of the applicable Corporate Event, the Company will promptly provide notice to the Holder within ten (10) Business Days of the completion of such Corporate Event.
