|
|
2.3 | No fractional shares shall be issued and if the exercise of the Warrants represented hereby would result in the Holder being entitled to receive a fraction of a share, the Corporation shall instead issue upon the exercise the next lower whole number of Common Shares; provided, that such entitlement of the Holder to a fractional share may subsequently be exercised in combination with other rights which, in the aggregate, entitle the Holder to purchase a whole number of Common Shares. The Holder may from time to time subscribe for and purchase any lesser number of Common Shares than the number of Common Shares expressed in this Warrant Certificate. In the event that the Holder subscribes for and purchases any such lesser number of Common Shares prior to the Expiry Time, the Holder shall be entitled to the return of the certificate with a notation on the grid attached hereto showing the balance of the Common Shares which the Holder is entitled to purchase pursuant to the Warrant Certificate which were not then purchased. |

|
|
4. | Adjustment of Subscription Rights |
|
|
4.1 | If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time there shall be a Corporation Reorganization, the Holder shall thereafter upon the exercise of the Warrants be entitled to receive, and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which the Holder was entitled to upon such exercise, the kind and amount of shares, other securities or property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Corporation Reorganization if the Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares on the record date or effective date thereof, as the case may be, to which the Holder was entitled to upon exercise of the Warrants. If necessary, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions set out herein with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the consummation of the Corporation Reorganization to the end that the provisions set out herein shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be possible in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants represented hereby. |
- 5 -
4.2 | If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time: |
| (a) | a Common Share Reorganization takes place and the Holder holds Warrants that have not been exercised on or prior to the effective date or record date of such Common Share Reorganization, as the case may be, upon the exercise of such right thereafter then the Holder shall be entitled to receive and shall accept in lieu of the number of Common Shares which would otherwise then have been subscribed for by the Holder, at the Exercise Price as adjusted in accordance with Section 4.2(b), the aggregate number of Common Shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares, or both, that the Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Common Share Reorganization, on such record date or effective date, as the case may be, had the Holder been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares so subscribed for; and |
|
|
|
| (b) | the Exercise Price in effect on the effective date (subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.2(b)) of such Common Share Reorganization shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately following such event. For the purposes of the adjustment contemplated hereby, the expression “number of Common Shares outstanding” at any time shall include all Common Shares issuable upon exercise of all outstanding rights to acquire Common Shares, the exercise of which is not subject to any condition or limitation which has not been satisfied at that time. Any such issue of Common Shares by way of a stock dividend will be deemed to have been made on the record date for the stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under this Section 4.2(b). |
4.3 | If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issuance or distribution to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares of: (i) securities of the Corporation, including without limitation shares, rights, options or warrants to acquire shares of any class or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or exchangeable into any such shares; (ii) evidences of indebtedness (including indebtedness of the Corporation); or (iii) property or other assets of the Corporation, and if such issuance or distribution does not constitute a Common Share Reorganization or a Rights Offering (any of such non-excluded events being herein called a “Special Distribution”), then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date for the Special Distribution by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction: |
| (a) | the numerator of which shall be: |
| (i) | the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of a Common Share on such record date, less |
|
|
|
| (ii) | the aggregate fair market value, as determined by the board of directors of the Corporation, of the securities, evidences of indebtedness or property or other assets issued or distributed in the Special Distribution, and |
| (b) | the denominator of which shall be the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of a Common Share on such record date. |
- 6 -
4.4 | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant Certificate, if, in the opinion of the board of directors of the Corporation, acting reasonably, at any time prior to the Expiry Time the Corporation takes any other action affecting its capital: |
| (a) | to which the foregoing provisions of Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 are not strictly applicable or, if strictly applicable, would not fairly adjust the rights of the Holder against dilution in accordance with the intent and purposes thereof; or |
|
|
|
| (b) | which would otherwise materially affect the rights of the Holder hereunder, |
|
|
|
| then the board of directors of the Corporation has the right, subject to any requisite regulatory approval, to adjust such rights as aforesaid in such a manner as the board of directors of the Corporation, acting reasonably, determines is equitable in the circumstances. |
4.5 | The adjustments provided for herein: |
| (a) | are cumulative and shall apply to successive events resulting in any adjustment under Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4; |
|
|
|
| (b) | are intended to preserve the economic value of the Warrants, not to enhance or diminish their value; |
|
|
|
| (c) | shall, in the case of adjustments to the Exercise Price, be computed to the nearest one-tenth of one cent but shall not be required unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% in the prevailing Exercise Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which, except for the provisions of this Section 4.5(c) would otherwise have been required to be made, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; and |
|
|
|
| (d) | shall, in respect of the Common Shares to be issued to the Holder on the exercise of the Warrants, not be required unless it would result in a change of at least one one-hundredth of a Common Share; provided, however, that any adjustments which, except for the provisions of this Section 4.5(d) would otherwise have been required to be made, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. |
4.6 | In any case of an event for which an adjustment shall be effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein, the Corporation may defer, until the completion of such an event, issuing to the Holder of any Warrant exercised after such record date and before the completion of such event the additional Common Shares issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event, provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder an appropriate instrument evidencing such Holder’s right, upon the completion of the event requiring the adjustment, to receive the additional Common Shares and the right to receive any dividends or other distributions which, but for the provisions of this Section 4.6, such person or persons would have been entitled to receive in respect of such additional Common Shares from and after the date that the Warrant was exercised in respect thereof. |
|
|
4.7 | At least 10 days prior to the effective date or record date, as the case may be, of any event which requires or may require adjustment in any of the subscription rights pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, including the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares which are purchasable upon the exercise thereof, or such longer period of notice as the Corporation is otherwise by law required to provide holders of Common Shares in respect of any such event, the Corporation shall notify the Holder of the particulars of such event and, if determinable, the required adjustment and the computation of such adjustment. In the event that the adjustment for which such notice has been given is not then determinable, the Corporation shall promptly after such adjustment is determinable notify the Holder of the adjustment and the computation of such adjustment. On the happening of each and every such event, the applicable provisions of this Warrant Certificate, including the Exercise Price, shall, ipso facto, be deemed to be amended accordingly and the Corporation shall take all necessary action so as to comply with such provisions as so amended. |
|
|
4.8 | If the Corporation shall set a record date to determine the holders of the shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or distribution or any subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to such shareholders of any such dividend, distribution or subscription or purchase rights, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution or subscription or purchase rights, then no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of any Warrant shall be required by reason of the setting of such record date. |
- 7 -
4.9 | In the absence of a resolution of the board of directors of the Corporation fixing a record date for any dividend or distribution or Special Distribution, the Corporation shall be deemed to have fixed as the record date therefor the date on which such dividend or distribution is effected. |
|
|
4.10 | Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any computation under Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3. |
|
|
4.11 | Any question arising with respect to the adjustments provided herein shall be conclusively determined by the auditors of the Corporation (or if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such other firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by the board of directors of the Corporation), who shall have access to all necessary records of the Corporation or, if requested in writing by the Holder, by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Act (British Columbia), and the determination by the auditors or of such accountants or arbitrator, as applicable, shall be binding upon the Corporation and the Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Common Shares are listed on any stock exchange, such determination shall be subject to the prior written approval by such stock exchange, if applicable. |
