ARTICLE FOUR - EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
Section 4.01 - Method of Exercise of Warrants
The right to purchase Warrant Shares conferred by the Warrants may be exercised, before the Time of Expiry, by the Holder of such Warrant surrendering it, with a duly completed and executed subscription in the form attached thereto and:
(a) cash or a certified cheque or money order payable to or to the order of the Company, at par in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, for the Warrant Exercise Price per Warrant Share applicable at the time of surrender in respect of the Warrant Shares subscribed for in lawful money of the United States, to the Company at its executive office in the City of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada or
(b) The Holder may, at its option, in lieu of paying cash for the Warrant Shares, exercise this Warrant by an exchange, in whole or in part (a "Warrant Exchange"), by delivery to the Company of (i) a duly executed Form of Subscription electing a Warrant Exchange and (ii) the certificate representing this Warrant. In connection with any Warrant Exchange, the Holder shall be deemed to have paid for the Warrant Shares an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of each Warrant delivered, and the Warrants shall be deemed exercised for the amount so paid. For this purpose, the Fair Market Value of each Warrant is the difference between the Market Value of a share of Common Stock and the Exercise Price on the Exercise Date. Market Value shall mean the average Closing Bid Price of a share of Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Days ending on the Exercise Date.
Section 4.02 - Effect of Exercise of Warrants
As soon as practicable after surrender and payment, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company will cause to be delivered to the person or persons in whose name or names the Warrant Shares subscribed for are to be issued as specified in such subscription or mailed to him or them at his or their respective addresses specified in such subscription, a certificate or certificates for the appropriate number of Warrant Shares not exceeding those which the Warrant Holder is entitled to purchase pursuant to the Warrant surrendered. Upon issuance, such person or persons shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of such Warrant Shares on the date of surrender and payment.
Section 4.03 - Subscription for Less than Entitlement
The Holder of any Warrant may subscribe for and purchase a number of Warrant Shares less than the number which he is entitled to purchase pursuant to the surrendered Warrant. In the event of any purchase of a number of Warrant Shares less than the number which can be purchased pursuant to a Warrant, the Company will issue a new Warrant in respect of the balance of the Warrant Shares which the Holder was entitled to purchase pursuant to the surrendered Warrant and which were not then purchased.
Section 4.04 - Warrants for Fractions of Warrant Shares
No fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon exercise of these Warrants. If any fractional interest in a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 4.04, be deliverable upon the exercise of a Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Warrant Holder upon exercise of the Warrant shall be rounded up to the next whole number.
Section 4.05 - Expiration of Warrants
After the Time of Expiry all rights attaching to the Warrants will wholly cease and terminate and the Warrants will be void and of no effect.
Section 4.06 – Warrant Exercise Price
The Warrant Exercise Price per Warrant Share which must be paid to exercise a Warrant is as prescribed by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company and set forth in this Warrant certificate subject to adjustment as provided for herein.
Section 4.07 - Adjustment of Subscriptions Rights and Exercise Price
The Warrant Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be subject to adjustment in the events and in the manner following:
| (a) | Share Reorganization. If prior to the Time of Expiry the Company shall: |
| (i) | issue shares without the receipt of any consideration therefor to all or substantially all of the holders of the shares by way of stock dividend or other distribution (other than as dividends paid in the common course (“Dividends Paid in the Common Course”)), or |
| (ii) | subdivide its outstanding shares into a greater number of shares; or |
| (iii) | consolidate its outstanding shares into a lesser number of shares, |
(any of such events in these paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) being called a “Share Reorganization”), then the Warrant Exercise Price per Warrant Share shall be adjusted as of the effective date or record date, as the case may be, at which the holders of shares are determined for the purpose of the Share Reorganization by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such effective date or record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares outstanding on such effective date or record date before giving effect to such Share Reorganization and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares outstanding as of the effective date or record date after giving effect to such Share Reorganization.
| (b) | Rights Offering. If prior to the Time of Expiry the Company shall fix a record date for the issue of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of shares under which such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 calendar days after the record date for such issue (“Rights Period”), to subscribe for or purchase shares at a price per share to the holder of less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Current Market Price for the shares on such record date (any of such events being called a “Rights Offering”), then the Warrant Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the end of the Rights Period to a price determined by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the end of the Rights Period by a fraction: |
| (i) | the numerator of which shall be the aggregate of: |
| A. | the number of shares outstanding as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and |
| B. | a number determined by dividing (1) the product of the number of shares issued or subscribed during the Rights Period upon the exercise of the rights, warrants or options under the Rights Offering and the price at which such shares are offered by (2) the Current Market Price of the shares as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and |
| (ii) | the denominator of which shall be the number of shares outstanding after giving effect to the Rights Offering and including the number of shares actually issued or subscribed for during the Rights Period upon exercise of the rights, warrants or options under the Rights Offering. |
| Any Warrant Holder who shall have exercised his right to purchase shares in accordance with this Article 4 during the period beginning immediately after the record date for a Rights Offering and ending on the last day of the Rights Period therefor shall, in addition to the shares to which he is otherwise entitled upon such exercise in accordance with this Article 4, be entitled to that number of additional shares equal to the result obtained when the difference, if any, resulting from the subtraction of the Warrant Exercise Price as adjusted for such Rights Offering pursuant to this subsection (b) hereinabove from the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the end of such Rights Offering is multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares purchased upon exercise of the Warrants held by such Warrant Holder during such period, and the resulting product is divided by the Warrant Exercise Price as adjusted for such Rights Offering pursuant to this subsection 4.07(b); provided that the provisions of this Article 4 shall be applicable to any fractional interest in any share to which such Warrant Holder might otherwise be entitled under the foregoing provisions of this subsection 4.07(b). Such additional shares shall be deemed to have been issued to the Warrant Holder immediately following the end of the Rights Period and a certificate for such additional shares shall be delivered to such Warrant Holder within ten business days following the end of the Rights Period. |
| (c) | Special Distribution. If prior to the Time of Expiry the Company shall issue or distribute to all or to substantially all the holders of the shares: |
| (i) | securities of the Company including rights, options or warrants to acquire shares of any class or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or exchangeable into any such shares or property or assets and including evidences of its indebtedness; or |
| (ii) | any property or other assets; |
and if such issuance or distribution does not constitute Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course, a Share Reorganization or a Rights Offering (any of such non-excluded events being herein called a “Special Distribution”), the Warrant Exercise Price per Warrant Share shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date at which the holders of affected shares are determined for purposes of the Special Distribution to a price determined by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction:
(iii) the numerator of which shall be:
| A. | the product of the number of shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the shares on such record date; less |
| B. | the excess, if any, of (1) the fair market value on such record date, as determined by action by the Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive), to the holders of the shares of such securities or property or other assets so issued or distributed in the Special Distribution over (2) the fair market value of the consideration received therefor by the Company from the holders of the shares, as determined by action by the Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive); and |
| (iv) | the denominator of which shall be the number of shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Market Price of the shares on such record date. |
| (d) | Capital Reorganization. If prior to the Time of Expiry there shall be a reclassification of shares at any time outstanding or a change of the shares into other shares or into other securities (other than a Share Reorganization), or a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Company with or into any other Company or other entity (other than a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding shares or a change of the shares into other securities), or a transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another Company or other entity (any of such events being herein called a “Capital Reorganization”), any Warrant Holder who exercises his right to purchase Warrant Shares pursuant to Warrant(s) then held after the effective date of such Capital Reorganization shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept for the same aggregate consideration in lieu of the number of Warrant Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise the aggregate number of shares, other securities or other property which such holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the Warrant Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Warrant Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon exercise of the Warrant subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with provisions the same, as nearly as may be possible, as those contained in this Section 4.07; provided, however, that no such Capital Reorganization shall be carried into effect unless all necessary steps shall have been taken to so entitle the Warrant Holders. If determined appropriate by the Company, acting reasonably, appropriate adjustments shall be made as a result of any such Capital Reorganization in the application of the provisions set forth in this Article 4 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of Warrant Holders to the end that the provisions set forth in this Article 4 shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be in relation to any shares, other securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of any Warrant. Any such adjustments shall be made by and set forth in terms and conditions supplemental hereto approved by action by the Directors and by the Company, acting reasonably and shall for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be appropriate adjustments. |
| (e) | If prior to the Time of Expiry a Share Reorganization shall occur which results in an adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.07, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to each whole Warrant shall be adjusted contemporaneously with the adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price per Warrant Share by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares theretofore purchasable on the exercise thereof by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment. |

| Section 4.08 - Rules Regarding Calculation of Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares Purchasable upon Exercise |
| For the purposes of Section 4.07 hereinabove: |
| (a) | The adjustments provided for in Section 4.07 are cumulative, and shall, in the case of adjustments to the Warrant Exercise Price per Warrant Share, be computed to the nearest one-tenth of one cent (U.S. $0.001) and shall be made successively whenever an event referred to therein shall occur, subject to the following subsections of this Section 4.08. |
| (b) | No adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price per Warrant Share shall be required unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least one and one-half percent (1.5%) in the prevailing Warrant Exercise Price and no adjustment shall be made in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant unless it would result in a change of at least one one-tenth of a Warrant Share (1/10); provided, however, that any adjustments which, except for the provisions of this subsection 4.08(b) would otherwise have been required to be made, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. |
| (c) | Subject to the prior consent, if required, of any recognized stock exchange or over-the-counter or bulletin board trading market which may have jurisdiction over the affairs of the Company, from time to time, no adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price per Warrant Share or in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of Warrants shall be made in respect of any event described in Section 4.07, other than the events referred to in paragraphs (ii) and (iii) of subsection (a) thereof, if Warrant Holders are entitled to participate in such event on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as if Warrant Holders had exercised their Warrants prior to or on the effective date or record date of such event. |
| (d) | No adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made pursuant to Section 4.07 in respect of the issue from time to time: |
(i) of Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise of the Warrants; or
| (ii) | in respect of the issue from time to time as Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course of shares to holders of shares who exercise an option or election to receive substantially equivalent dividends in shares in lieu of receiving a cash dividend; |
and any such issue shall be deemed not to be a Share Reorganization.
| (e) | If a dispute shall at any time arise with respect to adjustments provided for in Section 4.07, such dispute shall be conclusively determined by the Company’s Auditors, or if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such other firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by action by the Directors and any such determination shall be binding upon the Company and the Warrant Holders; such auditors or accountants shall be provided access to all necessary records of the Company. In the event that any such determination is made, the Company shall deliver a certificate to the Warrant Holders describing such determination. |
| (f) | In case the Company after the date of issue of the Warrants shall take any action affecting the shares, other than action described in Section 4.07, which in the opinion of the Directors of the Company would materially affect the rights of Warrant Holders, the Warrant Exercise Price per Warrant Share or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise shall be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time, by action by the Directors, in their sole discretion as they may determine to be equitable in the circumstances, but subject in all cases to the prior approval, if required, of any recognized stock exchange or over-the-counter or bulletin board trading market which may have jurisdiction over the affairs of the Company, from time to time, together with all other applicable regulatory authorities. Failure of the taking of action by the Directors so as to provide for an adjustment on or prior to the effective date of any action by the Company affecting the shares shall be conclusive evidence that the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances. |
| (g) | If the Company 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 Warrant Exercise Price per Warrant Share or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of any Warrant shall be required by reason of the setting of such record date. |
| (h) | In the absence of a resolution of the Directors fixing a record date for a Special Distribution or Rights Offering, the Company shall be deemed to have fixed as the record date therefor the date on which the Special Distribution or Rights Offering is effected. |
| (i) | As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require any adjustment in any of the subscription rights pursuant to any of the Warrants, including the Warrant Exercise Price per Warrant Share and the number or class of Warrant Shares or other securities which are to be received upon the exercise thereof, the Company shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, be necessary in order that the Company have unissued and reserved in its authorized capital and may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all the shares or other securities which all the holders of such Warrants are entitled to receive on the full exercise thereof in accordance with the provisions thereof. |
| Section 4.09 - Postponement of Subscription |
In any case in which this Article 4 shall require that an adjustment shall be effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein, the Company may defer, until the occurrence of such an event:
| (a) | issuing to the Holder of any Warrant exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event, the additional Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event; and |
| (b) | delivering to such Holder any distributions declared with respect to such additional Warrant Shares after such exercise date and before such event; |
provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such Holder an appropriate instrument evidencing such Holder’s right, upon the occurrence of the event requiring the adjustment, to an adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price per Warrant Share or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable on the exercise of any Warrant to such distributions declared with respect to any additional Warrant Shares issuable on the exercise of any Warrant.
| Section 4.10 - Notice of Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares Purchasable Upon Exercise |
| (a) | At least 14 calendar days prior to the effective date or record date, as the case may be, of any event which requires or might require adjustment in any of the subscription rights pursuant to any of the Warrants, including the Warrant Exercise Price per Warrant Share and the number of Warrant Shares which are purchasable upon the exercise thereof, or such longer period of notice as the Company shall be required to provide holders of shares in respect of any such event, the Company shall give notice to the Warrant Holders by way of a certificate of the Company specifying the particulars of such event and, if determinable, the required adjustment and the computation of such adjustment. |
| (b) | In case any adjustment for which a notice in subsection 4.10(a) of this Section 4.10 has been given is not then determinable the Company shall promptly after such adjustment is determinable, give notice to the Warrant Holders of the adjustment and the computation of such adjustment. |
Section 4.11 - Legending of Warrants and Warrant Shares
| (a) | The Holder of any Warrants hereby agrees and consents by acceptance hereof that the certificate or certificates representing any Warrants or Warrant Shares shall be impressed with a legend (the “Legend”) reciting that the transfer thereof is restricted for a prescribed period (the “Restricted Period”), substantially in the following form: |
“The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the laws of any state, and have been issued pursuant to an exemption from registration pertaining to such securities and pursuant to a representation by the security holder named hereon that said securities have been acquired for purposes of investment and not for purposes of distribution.
