| The Series A Rights provides that holders of Preferred Shares (the “Holders”) are entitled to receive dividends compounded monthly and payable quarterly at the election of the Issuer either in cash or, subject to certain equity conditions, in Common Shares. Dividends on the Preferred Shares accrue at a rate of 8% per annum. Each Preferred Share is convertible, at the option of the Holder and upon certain mandatory conversion events described below, into one Common Share. The issuer has the option to force the conversion of the Preferred Shares if, on or after the first anniversary of the issuance of the Preferred Shares, the market price of the Common Shares exceeds US$3.70 for 20 consecutive trading days and certain equity conditions are satisfied. The number of Preferred Shares subject to the mandatory conversion will be calculated as of the date of the mandatory conversion based on the product of (i) the aggregate number of Common Shares issuable by the Issuer to all Holders upon such conversion multiplied by (ii) the average of the dollar volume-weighted average price of the Common Shares on the NYSE MKT LLC during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York time and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg, LLC through its “Volume at Price” function for each of the twenty (20) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the mandatory conversion shall not exceed 30% of the average of the aggregate dollar trading volume of the Common Shares traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the TSX Venture Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the NYSE MKT LLC, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Capital Market and the OTC Bulletin Board for the five (5) consecutive trading days for each of the twenty (20) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the applicable mandatory conversion date. Starting five years after issuance of the Preferred Shares, subject to certain conditions, the Preferred Shares are redeemable by either the Issuer or the Holders for cash at US$1.85 per share together with accrued and unpaid dividends. Each Holder is entitled to vote, on an as converted basis, at all meetings of the Issuer's shareholders, except as otherwise required by law or in the Series A Rights. In addition, the "Preferred Super Majority" (initially HCP-MID until the Initial Purchasers own less than 3,783,784 Preferred Shares in the aggregate, then the Holders of a majority of the then issued and outstanding Preferred Shares) must approve certain actions, including any amendments to the Issuer’s Notice of Articles or Articles that adversely affects the voting powers, preferences or other rights of the Preferred Shares; any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Issuer; issuance of any equity security senior to or on parity with the Preferred Shares; issuances of equity below the conversion price of the Preferred Shares (subject to certain exceptions); and the redemption or repurchase of any of the capital stock of the Issuer. |
