INDENTURE SECURITIES
8. Analysis of indenture provisions.
Pursuant to the provisions of a certain underwriting agreement dated as of
October 25, 1995 by and among the Company, Yorkton Securities Inc. and First
Marathon Securities Ltd. (the "Underwriting Agreement"), the Company, on
November 10, 1995, issued U.S. $10 million of special warrants (the "Special
Warrants") under a special warrant indenture with Montreal Trust Company of
Canada (the "Special Warrant Trustee"). The Special Warrants are exercisable for
a like principal amount of Indenture Securities on or before the earlier of: (i)
the first business day which is twelve months after November 10, 1995, or (ii)
the fifth business day following the date upon which the Company files (or
causes to be filed): (a) a preliminary prospectus and (final) prospectus in the
Provinces of Ontario and British Columbia qualifying the distribution of the
Indenture Securities upon exercise of the Special Warrants and causes receipts
to be issued therefor; (b) a registration statement or registration statements
under the Securities Act registering for resale the Indenture Securities and the
Granges Shares deliverable upon exercise thereof and makes such registration
statements effective, and files (or causes to be filed) all required filings
with state securities or "blue sky" administrators in the states where the
holders of such securities propose to offer and sell the Indenture Securities or
such Granges Shares and makes them effective; and (c) a registration statement
under the 1934 Act registering the class of Indenture Securities under Section
12(b) of the 1934 Act and makes it effective (the requirements of clauses (a)
through (c) being collectively the "Qualification and Registration
Requirements"). All Special Warrants not exercised prior to that will be deemed
to be exercised on such date without further action or notice on the part of the
holders thereof.
The Underwriting Agreement provides that the proceeds of the sale of the
Special Warrants are being held in escrow until the exercise or deemed exercise
of the Special Warrants. Should the Qualification and Registration Requirements
not be met on or before February 9, 1996, holders of Special Warrants may, until
5 p.m. on February 19, 1996 (or, if that is not a business day, the next
succeeding business day), tender their Special Warrants to the Special Warrant
Trustee for retraction and cancellation at a cash price of $105 per $100 face
amount of Special Warrant, such price to be paid from the escrowed proceeds. The
Company must provide additional funds for retraction and cancellation payments,
should the escrowed proceeds be insufficient. Each Special Warrant not so
tendered and outstanding thereafter will entitle the holder to receive, upon
exercise or deemed exercise, $110 principal amount of Indenture Securities,
without the payment of any additional consideration -- an aggregate of up to
$11.0 million principal amount of Indenture Securities should no Indenture
Securities have been tendered for retraction and cancellation.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture Securities will be
issued, upon such exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants, under an
indenture with Chemical Bank as trustee (the "Indenture"). The following is a
description of certain provisions of the Indenture required by
7
<PAGE>
Section 305(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Indenture, filed as Exhibit T3C.1 hereto.
Capitalized terms used in this Item 8 and not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings specified in the Indenture.
(A) EVENTS OF DEFAULT
An "Event of Default" under the Indenture occurs by either: (1) default in
the payment of interest when due and payable, and continuance of such default
for a period of 30 days; or (2) default in the payment of the principal of any
Indenture Security within the 5-day period of time after maturity in the case of
payments in whole or in part in Granges Common Stock; or (3) default in the
performance or observance, or breach, of any term, covenant, warranty or
agreement of the Company in the Indenture Securities or the Indenture, and
continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after written
notice of such failure, requiring the Company to remedy the same and stating
that such notice is a "Notice of Default", shall have been given to the Company
by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25%
in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Indenture Securities; or (4)
(a) failure by the Company to pay when due an aggregate amount in excess of
U.S.$500,000 or the equivalent thereof in any other currency in respect of any
outstanding indebtedness and the continuance of such failure beyond any
applicable grace period provided for in the terms of such indebtedness, or (b)
default by the Company with respect to outstanding indebtedness, which default
results in the acceleration of indebtedness in an aggregate amount in excess of
U.S.$500,000 or the equivalent thereof in any other currency, without, in the
case of (a) or (b), such indebtedness having been discharged or such payment
default or acceleration, as the case may be, having been cured, waived,
rescinded or annulled within a period of 10 days after written notice thereof by
or on behalf of the holders of such indebtedness; provided, however, that if,
prior to the entry of judgment in favor of any trustee with respect to any
indebtedness or in favor of any holder of any indebtedness or other
representative of the holders thereof, such failure or default under such
indenture or instrument shall be remedied or cured by the Company, or waived by
or on behalf of the holders of such indebtedness, and such acceleration (if
applicable) shall be rescinded, then the Event of Default shall be deemed
likewise to have been remedied, cured or waived; or (5) the entry by a court
having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in
respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable
Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or
(B) a decree or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or
approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under Federal
bankruptcy law or any other applicable Federal or State law, or appointing a
custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other
similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or
ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of
any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive
days; or (6) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding
under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a
bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order
for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under
any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other
similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings
against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking
reorganization or relief under Federal bankruptcy law or any other applicable
Federal or State law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to
the appointment or taking possession of a custodian, receiver, liquidator,
assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of
any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for
the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to
pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by
the Company in furtherance of any such action.
(B) AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY
8
<PAGE>
The Indenture Securities will be issued in definitive registered form,
without coupons, in denominations of U.S.$100 and integral multiples of U.S.$100
in excess thereof, substantially in the form specified in Section 202 of the
Indenture.
The Indenture provides that at any time and from time to time after the
execution and delivery of the Indenture, the Company may deliver Indenture
Securities executed by the Company to the Trustee or to its order for
authentication together with a Company order for authentication and delivery of
such securities, and the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent in accordance with
such Company Order will authenticate and deliver such securities. In connection
with any Company Order for authentication, a compliance certificate and Opinion
of Counsel is not required. To allow for exercise of the Special Warrants, the
Indenture also requires the Trustee to authenticate, register and deliver
Indenture Securities for original issuance as instructed from time to time by a
requisition of the Special Warrant Trustee. Under no circumstances may the
Trustee authenticate, register and deliver Indenture Securities for original
issuance without first having received such requisition. Such requisition must
specify the aggregate principal amount of Indenture Securities previously issued
under the Indenture, the remaining aggregate principal amount of Indenture
Securities authorized under the Indenture, the name or names to be registered,
the principal amount or amounts to be authenticated and the manner and place of
delivery and must otherwise be in a format agreed upon by the Trustee and the
Special Warrant Trustee. In the event that a retraction right arises with
respect to the Special Warrants, the Company is required to give the Trustee
immediate notice thereof and, thereafter, prior to the issuance of any Indenture
Securities, the Trustee will be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the issuance of such Indenture Securities is entitled to an
exemption under the Securities Act of 1933. Promptly upon receipt of such
requisition, the Trustee must give written notice to the Special Warrant Trustee
as to the time by which it reasonably expects to be able to authenticate,
register and deliver the Indenture Securities referred to in such requisition.
Upon such authentication, registration and delivery, the Trustee is required to
notify the Company and the Special Warrant Trustee in writing thereof and the
Company must deliver to the Trustee a receipt therefor.
The Indenture contains no provision regarding the application of proceeds.
(C) SECURITY INTEREST
Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture,
Holders are entitled, upon provision, if applicable, of certification regarding
compliance with applicable securities laws, at any time after November 10, 1995
and on or before the close of business on October 25, 2000, or in case the
Indenture Security is called for redemption until and including, but (unless the
Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption) not after, the close
of business on the Redemption Date, to exchange the Indenture Security (or any
portion of the principal amount thereof) into fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Granges Common Stock at an initial Exchange Rate of 42.50 shares of
Granges Common Stock per U.S.$100 principal amount of Indenture Securities (or
at the current adjusted Exchange Rate if an adjustment has been made as provided
in the Indenture) The Exchange Rate is subject to adjustment upon certain events
affecting the capital structure of Granges as provided in Section 1204 of the
Indenture.
Distributions giving rise to an adjustment to the Exchange Rate become
Exchange Property subject to the lien of the Indenture. In the event that any
increase in the Exchange Rate causes the aggregate amount of Granges Common
Stock deliverable upon exchange of all outstanding Indenture Securities to
exceed the number of shares of Granges Common Stock constituting Exchange
Property (initially 8,474,576 shares), the amount of any such excess may be
satisfied by apportioning to each Holder, in proportion to the principal amount
of outstanding Indenture Securities held, such Exchange Property as is not
Granges Common Stock.
In the event of any reduction of the principal amount of Indenture
Securities outstanding, as evidenced by the delivery to the Trustee by the
Company of Indenture Securities for cancellation, the
9
<PAGE>
Exchange Property held by the Escrow Agent (currently the Trustee) shall be
reduced in the same proportion as the principal amount of the Indenture
Securities was so reduced, provided, that the Escrow Agent shall retain a
sufficient amount of Exchange Property to exchange all Indenture Securities then
outstanding on the basis of the then applicable Exchange Rate and the other
terms and provisions of the Indenture, and the Company shall, upon Company
Request, be entitled to any excess Exchange Property created by such reduction
net of any Exchange Property delivered in connection with any reduction caused
by an exchange for Granges Common Stock.
(D) SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
The Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect
(except as to any surviving rights of exchange, or registration of transfer or
exchange, or replacement of Indenture Securities and the Company's obligations
to the Trustee) and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute
proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture,
when: (1) either (A) all Indenture Securities theretofore authenticated and
delivered (other than (i) Indenture Securities which have been destroyed, lost
or stolen and which have been replaced or paid, and (ii) Indenture Securities
for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated
and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or
discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation;
or (B) all such Indenture Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee or
the Principal Paying Agent or its agent for cancellation (other than Indenture
Securities referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of clause (1)(A) above): (i) have
become due and payable, or (ii) will have become due and payable at their Stated
Maturity within one year, or (iii) are to be called for redemption within one
year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of
redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and
the Company, in the case of clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited or
caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds (immediately available to
the Holders in the case of clause (i), which funds may include, in the case of a
deposit under clause (i), Granges Common Stock) in trust an amount sufficient,
and for the purpose, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such
Indenture Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,
for principal and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Indenture
Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or
Redemption Date, as the case may be; and (2) the Company has paid or caused to
be paid all other sums payable by the Company.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, the
obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 607 of the Indenture,
the obligations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 612 of
the Indenture and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant
to clause (1)(B) above, the obligations of the Trustee under the following
paragraphs shall survive.
Subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, all money and
securities deposited with the Trustee for satisfaction and discharge of the
Indenture shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture Securities and the Indenture, to the payment, either
directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own
Paying Agent), to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and interest
for whose payment such money and securities has been deposited with the Trustee.
All moneys deposited with the Trustee (and held by it or any Paying Agent) for
the payment of Indenture Securities subsequently exchanged shall be returned to
the Company upon Company Request.
Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by
the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of or interest on any
Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or interest
has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or
(if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the
Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look
only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or
such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money,
10
<PAGE>
and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease;
provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required
to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be
published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment, notice that
such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which
shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed
balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.
(E) EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE
Upon qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939,
the Company will be required to certify at least annually to the Trustee as to
compliance with all conditions and covenants under the indenture. Additionally,
upon any application or request by the Company to the Trustee or the Principal
Paying Agent to take any action under any provision of the Indenture, the
Company must furnish to the Trustee or the Principal Paying Agent, as the case
may be, a certificate signed by certain officers of the Company (an "Officers'
Certificate") stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in the
Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion
of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions
precedent, if any, have been complied with. The Officers' Certificate must
include: (1) a statement that each individual signing such certificate or
