As such, TargetCo has secured the vote or consent of the TargetCo Shareholders required by Applicable Nevada Corporate Law, Applicable Securities Laws and its articles of incorporation and bylaws to obtain such approvals (the “TargetCo Shareholders’ Approval”).

 

2.02 Exchange

 

Pursuant to the Plan of Share Exchange and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the TargetCo Shareholders will exchange with and assign and transfer to the Purchaser and the Purchaser will receive from and exchange with the TargetCo Shareholders, the number of TargetCo Shares which are beneficially owned by such TargetCo Shareholders. As of the date of this Agreement, the number of TargetCo Shares which are beneficially owned by each TargetCo Shareholder is the number set forth opposite the name of such TargetCo Shareholder as set out in Schedule “B” attached hereto.

 

Except as provided for in this Agreement, TargetCo will make commercially reasonable efforts to prohibit the TargetCo Shareholders from acquiring or disposing of any TargetCo Shares following the date of this Agreement and the Plan of Share Exchange, except as may be acquired in the TargetCo Financings or any compensation plans of TargetCo, including the TargetCo Stock Option Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for greater certainty, if any TargetCo Shareholder otherwise may acquire any additional TargetCo Shares of TargetCo (for example, with the consent of the Purchaser), such additional TargetCo Shares so acquired will form part of the Exchanged TargetCo Shares and TargetCo covenants and agrees to make commercially reasonable efforts to cause the TargetCo Shareholder to sell, assign and transfer to the Purchaser such additional TargetCo Shares of TargetCo held by such TargetCo Shareholder so acquired, in addition to the TargetCo Shares described in Schedule “B”.

In consideration for the exchange and acquisition of the Exchanged TargetCo Shares, the Purchaser will at the Time of Closing issue from treasury to the TargetCo Shareholders, pro rata in proportion to their holdings of Exchanged TargetCo Shares the following shares in the capital of the Purchaser:

 

  (a) each U.S. holder of Common Stocks of TargetCo (the “TargetCo Shares”) will receive one (1) Class A Common Share in the capital of the Purchaser (each, a “Class A Common Share”) in exchange for one hundred (100) TargetCo Shares; and
     
  (b) each holder of TargetCo Shares that is not a U.S. TargetCo Shareholder will receive one (1) Common Share in exchange for one (1) TargetCo Share.

 

 
10

 

To the extent a TargetCo Shareholder is to receive a fractional Class A Common Share, that entitlement will be rounded up or down to the nearest second decimal place.

The Class A Common Shares will have the special rights and restrictions set forth in the Schedule “C” attached hereto. The Class A Common Shares and Common Shares issued in exchange for the TargetCo Shares shall together be referred herein as “Consideration Shares”.

 

Each Class A Common Share will be convertible into one hundred (100) Common Shares (subject to FPI Protections set forth below), and will vote on all matters subject to a vote of holders of Common Shares on an “as-converted basis” and will participate in all dividends, distributions and other rights of Common Shares on an “as-converted basis”. The Class A Common Shares will have certain restrictions on conversion into Common Shares (the “FPI Protections”) to protect the Foreign Private Issuer status of the Purchaser and the Purchaser will be treated as a United States taxpayer under the U.S. Revenue Code.

8.03 Notice of Claim

 

A party entitled to and seeking indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly give written notice to the party or parties, as applicable, responsible for indemnifying the Indemnified Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim for indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.01 and 8.02 (a “Claim”, which term shall include more than one Claim). Such notice shall specify whether the Claim arises as a result of a claim by a person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) or whether the Claim does not so arise (a “Direct Claim”), and shall also specify with reasonable particularity (to the extent that the information is available):

 

  (a) the factual basis for the Claim; and
     
  (b) the amount of the Claim, or, if any amount is not then determinable, an approximate and reasonable estimate of the likely amount of the Claim.

 

8.04 Procedure for Indemnification

 

  (a) Direct Claims. With respect to Direct Claims, following receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of a Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days to make such investigation of the Claim as the Indemnifying Party considers necessary or desirable. For the purpose of such investigation, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying party the information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the Claim. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree at or prior to the expiration of such 30 day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Indemnified Party the full agreed upon amount of the Claim.

 

 
32

 

  (b) Third Party Claims. With respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its own expense, to participate in or assume control of the negotiation, settlement or defence of such Third Party Claim and, in such event, the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all the Indemnified Party’s out-of-pocket expenses incurred as a result of such participation or assumption.

If the Indemnifying Party, having elected to assume such control, thereafter fails to defend any such Third Party Claim within a reasonable time, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume such control and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the results obtained by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim.

 

8.05 General Indemnification Rules

 

The obligations of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of Claims shall also be subject to the following:

 

  (a) the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party shall only apply to the extent that the Claims in respect of which the Indemnifying Party has given an indemnity, in the aggregate, exceed $10,000;
     
  (b) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the aggregate liability of TargetCo or the Purchaser to any and all Indemnified Parties under this Article VIII shall be limited to the value of the Consideration Shares issuable and securities issuable under this Agreement, including securities issuable in exchange for the TargetCo Debentures and TargetCo Shares pursuant to the Third TargetCo Financing;
     
  (c) if any Third Party Claim is of a nature such that the Indemnified Party is required by applicable law to make a payment to any person (a “Third Party”) with respect to such Third Party Claim before the completion of settlement negotiations or related legal proceedings, the Indemnified Party may make such payment and thereafter seek reimbursement from the Indemnifying Party for any such payment. If any Indemnifying Party pays, or reimburses an Indemnified Party in respect of any Third Party Claim before completion of settlement negotiations or related legal proceedings, and the amount of any liability of the Indemnified Party under the Third Party Claim in respect of which such a payment was made, as finally determined, is less than the amount which was paid by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall, forthwith after receipt of the difference from the Third Party, pay the amount of such difference to the Indemnifying Party;
     
  (d) except in the circumstance contemplated by Section 8.04, and whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the negotiation, settlement or defence of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not negotiate, settle, compromise or pay any Third Party Claim except with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld);
     
  (e) the Indemnified Party shall not permit any right of appeal in respect of any Third Party Claim to terminate without giving the Indemnifying Party notice and an opportunity to contest such Third Party Claim;

 

 
33

 

  (f) the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate fully with each other with respect to Third Party Claims and shall keep each other fully advised with respect thereto (including supplying copies of all relevant documentation promptly as it becomes available); and
     
  (g) the provisions of this Article VIII shall constitute the sole remedy available to a party against another party with respect to any and all breaches of any agreement, covenant, representation or warranty made by such other party in this Agreement.

Special Rights and Restrictions for
Class A Common Shares of Qualcan (Canada) Holdings Inc.

 

The Purchaser’s Notice of Articles to be amended to create and authorize unlimited number of a new class of shares designated as Class A Common Shares. In addition, the Purchaser’s articles to be amended to include the provisions in substantially the form set forth below.

 

***

 

ARTICLE AMENDMENT

 

27.1 Number

 

The Company shall have the authority to issue an unlimited number of Class A Common Shares, which are hereby designated “Class A Common Shares”, which are also referred to herein as the “Class A Convertible Securities”.

 

27.2 Dividend Rights.

 

The holders of Class A Common Shares (the “Class A Convertible Securities Holders”), shall have the right to receive dividends, out of any cash or other assets legally available therefor, pari passu (on an as converted basis, assuming conversion of all shares of Class A Common Shares into Common Shares at the applicable Conversion Ratio) as to dividends and any declaration or payment of any dividend on the Common Shares.

 

27.3 Liquidation Rights.

 

(a) In the event of any Liquidation Event, either voluntary or involuntary, the Class A Convertible Securities Holders and Common Shares shall be entitled to receive the assets of the Company available for distribution to shareholders, distributed among the holders of Class A Common Shares and Common Shares on a pro rata basis, based on (i) the number of Common Shares and (ii) the number of Class A Common Shares (on an as converted basis, assuming conversion of all shares of Class A Common Shares into Common Shares at the applicable Conversion Ratio) issued and outstanding on the record date.

 

(b) For purposes of this Section 3, a “Liquidation Event” shall mean a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company shall be deemed to be occasioned by, or to include, (i) the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation but, excluding any merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company); or (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; unless the Company’s shareholders of record as constituted immediately prior to such acquisition or sale will, immediately after such acquisition or sale (by virtue of securities issued as consideration for the Company’s acquisition or sale or otherwise) hold at least 50% of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring entity; or (iii) any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other similar proceeding of the Company.

 

 
2

 

27.4 Voting Rights.

 

(a) The holders of Class A Common Shares shall have the right to one vote for each Common Share into which such Class A Common Shares could then be converted, and with respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Common Shares, and shall be entitled, notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of any shareholders’ meeting and shall be entitled to vote, together with holders of Common Shares, with respect to any question upon which holders of Common Shares have the right to vote. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights available on an as converted basis (after aggregating all Common Shares into which Class A Common Shares could be converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward). Except as provided by law, by the provisions of paragraph (b) below, Class A Convertible Securities Holders shall vote the Class A Common Shares together with the holders of Common Shares as a single class.

 

(b) In addition to any other rights provided by law, the Company shall not amend, alter or repeal the preferences, special rights or other powers of the Class A Common Shares or any other provision of the Company’s articles that would adversely affect the rights of the Class A Convertible Securities Holders, without the written consent of all of the holders of the then outstanding Class A Common Shares, or by the affirmative vote at a meeting of the holders of Class A Common Shares separately as a class by way of a special separate resolution (a “Class A Special Majority Vote”).

 

27.5 Conversion.

 

Subject to the Conversion Limitations set forth in Section 27.6, Class A Convertible Securities Holders shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):

 

(a) Right to Convert. Each Class A Common Share shall be convertible, at the option of the Class A Convertible Securities Holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for such shares, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares as is determined by multiplying the number of Class A Common Share by the Conversion Ratio applicable to such share, determined as hereafter provided, in effect on the date the Class A Common Share is surrendered for conversion. The initial “Conversion Ratio” for each Class A Common Share shall be as follows: each Class A Common Share shall be convertible into one hundred (100) Common Shares; provided, however, that the applicable Conversion Ratio shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in subsections 27.5(d) and 27.5(e).

 

(b) Automatic Conversion. Each Class A Common Share shall automatically be converted without further action by the Class A Convertible Securities Holder into Common Shares at the applicable Conversion Ratio immediately upon the earlier of:

 

(i) a Liquidation Event;

 

(ii) the date specified by the unanimous written consent of the Class A Convertible Securities Holders or the affirmative Class A Special Majority Vote at a meeting of the Class A Convertible Securities Holders; or

 

(iii) a Mandatory Conversion pursuant to Section 27.7.

 

 
3

 

(c) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any Class A Convertible Securities Holder shall be entitled to convert Class A Convertible Securities into Common Shares, the Class A Convertible Securities Holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or of any transfer agent for Common Shares, and shall give written notice to the Company at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for Common Shares are to be issued (each, a “Conversion Notice”). The Company shall (or shall cause its transfer agent to), as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such Class A Convertible Securities Holder, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of Common Shares to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the Class A Convertible Securities to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Common Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Shares as of such date.

 

(d) Adjustments for Distributions. In the event the Company shall declare a distribution to holders of Common Shares payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights not otherwise causing adjustment to the Conversion Ratio (a “Distribution”), then, in each such case for the purpose of this subsection 27.5(d), the Class A Convertible Securities Holders shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such Distribution as though they were the holders of the number of Common Shares into which their Class A Convertible Securities are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such Distribution.

 

(e) Recapitalizations; Stock Splits. If at any time or from time-to-time, Company shall (i) effect a recapitalization of the Common Shares; (ii) issue Common Shares as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Shares; (iii) subdivide the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares; (iv) consolidate the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares; or (v) effect any similar transaction or action not otherwise causing adjustment to the Conversion Ratio (each, a “Recapitalization”), provision shall be made so that the Class A Convertible Securities Holders shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon conversion of Class A Convertible Securities, the number of Common Shares or other securities or property of the Company or otherwise, to which a holder of Common Shares deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such Recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 27.5 with respect to the rights of the Class A Convertible Securities Holders after the Recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 27.5 (including adjustment of the Conversion Ratio then in effect and the number of Common Shares acquirable upon conversion of Class A Common Shares) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

 

(f) No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles or through any reorganization, recapitalization, 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 hereunder by this Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 27.5 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the Class A Convertible Securities Holders against impairment.

 

(g) No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments. No fractional Common Shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any Class A Convertible Securities and the number of Common Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Common Share. Whether or not fractional Common Shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of Class A Convertible Securities the Class A Convertible Securities Holder is at the time converting into Common Shares and the number of Common Shares issuable upon such aggregate conversion.

(h) Adjustment Notice. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Ratio pursuant to this Section 27.5, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each Class A Convertible Securities Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of any Class A Convertible Securities Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustment and readjustment, (B) the Conversion Ratio for Class A Common Shares at the time in effect, and (C) the number of Common Shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of a Class A Common Share.

 

(i) Effect of Conversion. All Class A Common Shares that shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the time of conversion, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive Common Shares in exchange therefor and to receive payment in lieu of any fraction of a share otherwise issuable upon such conversion.

 

(j) Notices of Record Date. Except as otherwise provided under applicable law, in the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the Company shall mail to each Class A Convertible Securities Holder, at least 20 days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.

 

27.6 Conversion Limitations.

 

Before any Class A Convertible Securities Holder shall be entitled to convert Class A Convertible Securities into Common Shares, the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) shall designate an officer of the Company to determine if any Conversion Limitation set forth in this Section 27.6 shall apply to the conversion of Class A Common Shares. For the purposes of this Section 27.6, each of the following is a “Conversion Limitation”:

 

(a) Foreign Private Issuer Protection Limitation: The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain its status as a “foreign private issuer” (as determined in accordance with Rule 3b-4 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Accordingly:

 

(i) 40% Threshold. Except as provided in Section 27.7, the Company shall not affect any conversion of Class A Common Shares, and the Convertible Securities Holders shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Class A Common Shares pursuant to Section 27.5 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after conversions, the aggregate number of Common Shares and Class A Common Shares held of record, directly or indirectly, by residents of the United States (as determined in accordance with Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act) would exceed forty percent (40%) (the “40% Threshold”) of the aggregate number of Common Shares and Class A Common Shares issued and outstanding (the “FPI Protective Restriction”).

 

 
5

 

(ii) Conversion Limitations. In order to effect the FPI Protective Restriction, each Convertible Securities Holder will be subject to the 40% Threshold based on the number of Class A Common Shares held by such Class A Convertible Securities Holder as of the date of the initial issuance of Class A Common Shares and thereafter on the last business day at the end of each of the Company’s subsequent fiscal quarters (each, a “Determination Date”) for the current fiscal quarter (the “Relevant Fiscal Quarter”), calculated as follows:

 

X = [(A x 0.4) - B] x (C/D)

 

Where on the Determination Date:

 

X = Maximum Number of Common Shares Available For issuance upon Conversion of Class A Common Shares by the Class A Convertible Securities Holder during the Relevant Fiscal Quarter.

 

A = The number of Common Shares, Class A Common Shares, Class B Preferred Shares and Class C Preferred Shares issued and outstanding on the Determination Date.

 

B = Aggregate number of Common Shares and Class A Common Shares held of record, directly or indirectly, by residents of the United States (as determined in accordance with Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act) on the Determination Date.

 

C = Aggregate number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of Class A Common Shares held by the Class A Convertible Securities Holder on the Determination Date.

 

D = Aggregate number of all Common Shares issuable upon conversion of all Class A Common Shares on the Determination Date.

 

(iii) Determination of FPI Protective Restriction. For purposes of subsections 27.6(a)(i) and 27.6(a)(ii), the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) shall designate an officer of the Company to determine as of each Determination Date: (A) the 40% Threshold and (B) the FPI Protective Restriction. To the extent that the FPI Protective Restriction contained in this Section 27.6(a) applies, and subject to the right of a Convertible Securities Holder to convert for eventual sale any “Excluded Securities” (as defined in Section 27.6(a)(v) below), the determination of whether Class A Common Shares are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Company.

 

(iv) Notice of Conversion Limitation. Upon a determination of the 40% Threshold and the FPI Protective Restriction, the Company will provide each Convertible Securities Holder of record notice of the FPI Protective Restriction applicable to holders of Class A Common Shares for the Relevant Fiscal Quarter within thirty (30) days of the end of each Determination Date (a “Notice of Conversion Limitation”). The FPI Protective Restriction shall be stated as a percentage of the Class A Common Shares issued and outstanding on the Determination Date by holders of Class A Common Shares.

 

For example, if on a Determination Date the maximum number of Common Shares available for issuance upon conversion of Class A Common Shares by the Class A Shareholder holding 1,000 Class A Common Shares is 30,000 Common Shares, the FPI Protective Restriction will apply to 700 Class A Common Shares (70%) and an aggregate of 300 Class A Common Shares (30%) may be converted during the Relevant Fiscal Quarter. The Notice of Conversion Limitation will state that “Pursuant to Section 27.6 of the Special Rights and Restrictions for Class A Common Shares of the Company, the FPI Protective Restriction applies to 70% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Shares as of the Determination Date and up to 30% of your Class A Common Shares may be converted into Common Shares during the fiscal Quarter ending June 30, 2020.”

 

 
6

 

(v) Excluded Securities. Notwithstanding the Conversion Limitation specified in Section 27.6(a)(ii), during each Relevant Fiscal Quarter, each Convertible Securities Holder may convert into Common Shares the greater of: (1) the number of Class A Common shares specified in such Notice of Conversion Limitation, and (2) 500 Class A Common Shares.

 

(vi) Disputes. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to a Class A Convertible Securities Holder in connection with a conversion of Class A Common Shares, the Company shall issue to the Convertible Securities Holder the number of Common Shares not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 27.11.

 

27.7 Mandatory Conversion.

 

(a) Notwithstanding subsection 27.6(a), the Company may require each Class A Convertible Securities Holder to convert all, and not less than all, the Convertible Securities at the applicable Conversion Ratio (a “Mandatory Conversion”) if at any time, all the following conditions are satisfied (or otherwise waived by the Class A Special Majority Vote):

 

(i) the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of all the Class A Common Shares are registered for resale and may be sold by the Class A Shareholder pursuant to an effective registration statement and/or prospectus covering the Common Shares under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”);

 

(ii) the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the U.S. Exchange Act; and

 

(iii) the Common Shares are listed or quoted (and are not suspended from trading) on a national securities exchange in the United States registered under Section 6 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or quoted in a “U.S. automated inter-dealer quotation system”, as such term is used for purposes of Rule 144A(d)(3)(i).

 

(b) The Company will issue or cause its transfer agent to issue each Class A Convertible Securities Holder of record a Mandatory Conversion Notice at least 20 days prior to the record date of the Mandatory Conversion, which shall specify therein, (i) the number of Common Shares into which the Class A Convertible Securities are convertible and (ii) the address of record for such Class A Convertible Securities Holder. On the record date of a Mandatory Conversion, the Company will issue or cause its transfer agent to issue each Class A Convertible Securities Holder of record on the record date of such Mandatory Conversion certificates representing the number of Common Shares into which the Class A Convertible Securities are so converted and each certificate representing the Class A Common Shares shall be null and void.

 

27.8 Pre-emptive Rights. The holders of Class A Convertible Securities shall have no preemptive rights.

 

27.9 Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of these Special Rights and Restrictions to be given to the Class A Convertible Securities Holders shall be deemed given if deposited with Canada Post, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at his address appearing on the books of the Company.

 

 
7

 

27.10 Status of Converted Shares. Any Class A Convertible Securities converted shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such class or any other class or series

 

27.11 Disputes. Any Class A Convertible Securities Holder that beneficially owns more than 5% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Shares may submit a written dispute as to the determination of the Conversion Ratio or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Ratio, 40% Threshold, or the FPI Protective Restriction to the Board of Directors with the basis for the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations. The Company shall respond to the Class A Convertible Securities Holder within five (5) Business Days of receipt, or deemed receipt, of the dispute notice with a written calculation of the Conversion Ratio, 40% Threshold, or the FPI Protective Restriction, as applicable. If the Class A Convertible Securities Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Conversion Ratio, or the FPI Protective Restriction, as applicable, within five (5) Business Days of such response, then the Company and the Class A Convertible Securities Holder shall, within one (1) Business Day thereafter submit the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Ratio, or the FPI Protective Restriction to the Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company, at the Company’s expense, shall cause the accountant to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Class A Convertible Securities Holder of the results no later than five (5) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.

and, in the case of each of (iii) and (iv) above, it has prior to such sale furnished to Qualcan an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Qualcan stating that such transaction is exempt from registration under applicable securities laws and that the legend referred to in paragraph (k) below may be removed.

 

(i) It understands and agrees that the Securities may not be acquired in the United States or by a U.S. Person or on behalf of, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. Person or a person in the United States unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration requirements is available.
   
(j) It acknowledges that it has not purchased the Securities as a result of, and will not itself engage in, any “directed selling efforts” (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) in the United States in respect of the Securities which would include any activities undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States for the resale of the Securities.

 

   
 

 

(k) The certificates representing the Securities issued hereunder, as well as all certificates issued in exchange for or in substitution of the foregoing, until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and regulations, will bear, on the face of such certificate, the following legend:

 

“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 THE COMPANY THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO THE COMPANY; (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS; (C) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 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 CLAUSE (C) OR (D), THE SELLER FURNISHES TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OF RECOGNIZED STANDING IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY 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.”

 

provided, that if the Securities were issued at a time when Qualcan qualifies as a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act, and are being sold outside the United States in compliance with the requirements of Rule 904 of Regulation S and in compliance with Canadian local laws and regulations, the legend set forth above may be removed by providing an executed declaration to the registrar and transfer agent of Qualcan, in substantially the form set forth as Appendix “C” attached hereto (or in such other forms as Qualcan may prescribe from time to time) and, if requested by Qualcan or the transfer agent, an opinion of counsel of recognized standing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Qualcan and the transfer agent to the effect that such sale is being made in compliance with Rule 904 of Regulation S; and provided, further, that, if any Securities are being sold otherwise than in accordance with Regulation S and other than to Qualcan, the legend may be removed by delivery to the registrar and transfer agent and Qualcan of an opinion of counsel, of recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to Qualcan, that such legend is no longer required under applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities Act or state securities laws.

 

(l) The certificates representing the Securities will also be imprinted with a restrictive legend substantially in the following form pursuant to Canadian 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) [THE CLOSING DATE] AND (II) THE DATE THE ISSUER BECAME A REPORTING ISSUER IN ANY PROVINCE OR TERRITORY OF CANADA.”

 

   
 

 

(m) It understands and agrees that there may be material tax consequences to the U.S. TargetCo Securityholder of an acquisition, holding or disposition of any of the Securities. Qualcan gives no opinion and makes no representation with respect to the tax consequences to the U.S. TargetCo Securityholder under United States, state, local or foreign tax law of the undersigned’s acquisition, holding or disposition of such Securities. In particular, no determination has been made whether Qualcan will be a “passive foreign investment company” within the meaning of Section 1297 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
   
(n) It consents to Qualcan making a notation on its records or giving instructions to any transfer agent of Qualcan in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth and described in this certification and the Share Exchange Agreement.
   
(o) It understands and agrees that the financial statements of Qualcan have been or will be prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and therefore may be materially different from financial statements prepared under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and therefore may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies.
   
(p) It understands and acknowledges that Qualcan is incorporated outside the United States, consequently, it may be difficult to provide service of process on Qualcan and it may be difficult to enforce any judgment against Qualcan.
   
(q) It understands that Qualcan does not have any obligation to register the Securities under the U.S. Securities Act or any applicable state securities or “blue-sky” laws or to take action so as to permit resales of the Securities. Accordingly, the U.S. TargetCo Securityholder understands that absent registration, it may be required to hold the Securities indefinitely. As a consequence, the U.S. TargetCo Securityholder understands it must bear the economic risks of the investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time.

 

3. The foregoing representations contained in this certificate are true and accurate as of the date of this certificate and will be true and accurate as of the Time of Closing. If any such representations will not be true and accurate prior to the Time of Closing, the undersigned will give immediate written notice of such fact to Qualcan prior to the Time of Closing.

Appendix “B” to

 

U.S. Representation Letter for U.S. TARGETCO Securityholders

 

To be completed by U.S. Targetco Securityholders that are not U.S. Accredited Investors

 

In addition to the covenants, representations and warranties contained in the Share Exchange Agreement and the Schedule “D” to which this Appendix is attached, the undersigned (the “U.S. TargetCo Securityholder”) covenants, represents and warrants to Qualcan (also referred to herein as the “Company”) that the U.S. TargetCo Securityholder understands that the Securities have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act and that the offer and sale of the Securities to the U.S. TargetCo Securityholder contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement is intended to be a private offering pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 506(b) of Regulation D under the U.S. Securities Act.

Your answers will at all times be kept strictly confidential. However, by signing this suitability questionnaire (the “Questionnaire”) the U.S. TargetCo Securityholder agrees that the Company may present this Questionnaire to such parties as may be appropriate if called upon to verify the information provided or to establish the availability of an exemption from registration of the private offering under the federal or state securities laws or if the contents are relevant to issue in any action, suit or proceeding to which the Company is a party or by which it is or may be bound. A false statement by the U.S. TargetCo Securityholder may constitute a violation of law, for which a claim for damages may be made against the U.S. TargetCo Securityholder. Otherwise, your answers to this Questionnaire will be kept strictly confidential.

 

Please complete the following questionnaire:

 

1. Relationship to the Officers of Directors

 

Are you a relative of a director, senior officer or control person of the Company:  

 

Yes: __________ No: ____________

     
If yes, state the name of the director, senior officer or control person of the Company  

 

_____________________________________

     
If yes, state the relationship to the director, senior officer or control person of the Company

_____________________________________

     
If yes, state how long you have known the director, senior officer or control person of the Company  

 

_____________________________________

 

   
 

 

A close personal friend is an individual who has known the director, senior officer or control person for a sufficient period of time to be in a position to assess the capabilities and trustworthiness of the director, senior officer or control person. An individual is not a close personal friend solely because the individual is a member of the same organization, association or religious group.

 

3. Close Business Associate of an Officer or Director

 

Are you a close business associate of a director, senior officer or control person of the Company:  

 

Yes: __________ No: ____________

_____________________________________

     
If yes, describe your business relationship with the director, senior officer or control person of the Company  

 

_____________________________________

 

A close business associate is an individual who has had sufficient prior business dealings with the director, senior officer or control person to be in a position to assess the capabilities and trustworthiness of the director, senior officer or control person. A casual business associate or a person introduced or solicited for the purpose of purchasing securities is not a close business associate. An individual is not a close business associate solely because the individual is a client or former client. For example, an individual is not a close business associate of a registrant or former registrant solely because the individual is a client or former client of that registrant or former registrant. The relationship between the individual and the director, senior officer or control person must be direct. For example, the exemption is not available for a close business associate of a close business associate of a director, senior officer or control person.
