(a)For a period of 12 months from the Execution Date, the Company shall not, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries not to, (x) contract with any party for the issuance of any indebtedness that includes an equity component or that is convertible into, exercisable into or exchangeable for equity securities of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or equity financing, or (y) issue any equity securities of the Company or any Subsidiary or securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into or for equity securities of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries (including any indebtedness that includes an equity component or that is convertible into, exercisable into or exchangeable for equity securities of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries) (a “Future Offering”), except pursuant to Excluded Issuances (as defined below) and “at-the-market” offerings under Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act (none of which shall be considered Future Offerings and to which the Investor Purchase Option (as defined below) shall not apply), unless it shall have first delivered to the Investor written notice (the “Future Offering Notice”) describing generally the proposed Future Offering and providing the Investor an option (the “Investor Purchase Option”) to purchase up to a number of securities to be issued in such Future Offering equal to the product (such product, the Investor’s “Allocation Portion”) of (A) a fraction, (1) the numerator of which is the sum of the number of Ordinary Shares acquired by the Investor under Purchase Notices and the number of Commitment Shares, and (2) the denominator of which is the number of Ordinary Share issued and outstanding on the date of the Future Offering Notice, and (B) the total amount of securities to be issued in such Future Offering.

The delivery of a Participation Notice by Investor will be a binding and irrevocable offer by the Investor to purchase the Allocation Portion of the Future Offering described in the Future Offering Notice. The failure of Investor to deliver a Participation Notice by the end of the Investor Purchase Option Period will constitute a waiver of its rights under this Agreement with respect to the purchase of such Future Offering in the Future Offering Notice, but shall not affect its rights with respect to any future issuances or sales in another Future Offering.

(e)The closing of any purchase by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement will be consummated concurrently with the consummation of the issuance or sale described in the Future Offering Notice. The Investor will deliver to the Company the purchase price for the securities purchased by it by certified or bank check or wire transfer of immediately available funds, unless otherwise provided by the Company or as otherwise provided pursuant to the terms of the Future Offering. Each party to the purchase and sale of the securities in the Future Offering will take all such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the purchase and sale including, without limitation, entering into such additional agreements as may be necessary or appropriate.

 

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Investor will not be entitled to participate in the purchase and sale of any securities in a Future Offering unless Investor may participate in accordance with all applicable federal and state and Canadian securities laws and the applicable rules of any stock exchange.

 

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Investor will not be entitled to participate in the issuance of Company equity securities issued in connection with: (a) a grant to any existing or prospective consultant, employee, officer or director pursuant to any equity incentive plan or arrangement; (b) the conversion or exchange of any then outstanding securities of the Company into Ordinary Shares, or the exercise of any then outstanding options, warrants or other rights to acquire such Ordinary Shares; (c) any acquisition by the Company of the stock, assets, properties or business of any person; (d) any merger, consolidation or other business combination involving the Company; (e) a stock split, stock dividend or any similar recapitalization; or (f) any issuance of warrants or other similar rights to purchase equity securities to lenders or other institutional investors in any arm’s length transaction providing debt financing to the Company or any of its subsidiaries (“Financing Warrants”) where such Financing Warrants, together with all then outstanding Financing Warrants, are not equal to and not convertible into an aggregate of more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding Ordinary Shares on a fully diluted basis at the time of the issuance of such Financing Warrants (“Excluded Issuances”).

(h)       NO KNOWLEDGE. The Company shall have no knowledge of any event more likely than not to have the effect of causing the effectiveness of the Registration Statement to be suspended or the Prospectus or any prospectus supplement thereto failing to meet the requirement of Sections 5(b) or 10 of the Securities Act (which event is more likely than not to occur within the fifteen (15) Business Days following the Business Day on which such Purchase Notice is deemed delivered).

The Transaction Documents may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which may be executed by less than all of the Parties, all of which together will constitute one instrument, will be deemed to be an original, and will be enforceable against the Parties. The Transaction Documents may be delivered to the other Party hereto by email of a copy of the Transaction Documents bearing the signature of the Party so delivering the Transaction Documents. The Parties agree that this Agreement shall be considered signed when the signature of a Party is delivered by .PDF, DocuSign or other generally accepted electronic signature. Such .PDF, DocuSign, or other generally accepted electronic signature shall be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature.

 

Section 11.10 SEVERABILITY. In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision; provided that such severability shall be ineffective if it materially changes the economic benefit of this Agreement to any Party.

 

Section 11.11 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each Party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other Party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

Section 11.12 NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AGAINST DRAFTER. The Parties acknowledge that they have had an adequate opportunity to review this Agreement and to submit the same to legal counsel for review and comment. The Parties agree that the rule of construction that a contract be construed against the drafter, if any, shall not be applied in the interpretation and construction of this Agreement.

 

Section 11.13 TITLE AND SUBTITLES. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for the convenience of reference and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

 

Section 11.14 AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by a written instrument signed by both Parties hereto and no provision of this Agreement may be waived other than in a written instrument signed by the Party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. No failure or delay in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

Section 11.15 PUBLICITY. The Company and the Investor shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and no Party shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement, without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that no prior consent shall be required if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing Party shall provide the other Party with prior notice of such public statement. The Investor acknowledges that the Transaction Documents may be deemed to be “material contracts,” as that term is defined by Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K, and that the Company may therefore be required to file such documents as exhibits to reports or registration statements filed under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. The Investor further agrees that the status of such documents and materials as material contracts shall be determined solely by the Company, in consultation with its counsel.
