ARTICLE FOUR - EXERCISE OF WARRANTS


Section 4.01 - Method of Exercise of Warrants


The right to purchase 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 cash or a certified cheque or money order payable to or to the order of the Company, in Vancouver, British Columbia, for the purchase price applicable at the time of surrender in respect of the shares subscribed for in lawful money of the United States, to the Company at its principal office in the City of Vancouver.



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 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 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 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 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 shares less than the number which can be purchased pursuant to a Warrant, the Company will issue, without charge, a new Warrant in respect of the balance of the 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 Shares


No fractional shares shall be issued upon exercise of the Warrants.  If any fractional interest in a 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 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 - Exercise Price


The price per share which must be paid to exercise a Warrant (the "Exercise Price") is as set forth on the face of the Warrant certificate, subject to adjustment as provided for herein.



Section 4.07 - Adjustment of Number of Shares


(1)

The number of shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:


(a)

if and whenever, at any time from the Issuance Date until the Time of Expiry, the Company shall:


(i)

subdivide, redivide or change its outstanding shares into a greater number of shares;


(ii)

reduce, combine or consolidate its outstanding shares into a smaller number of shares; or


(iii)

issue shares to all or substantially all of the holders of shares by way of a stock distribution (other than the issue of shares to holders of shares as dividends by way of stock dividend in lieu of a cash dividend paid in the ordinary course or pursuant to any dividend reinvestment plan of the Company in force from time to time);


the number of shares obtainable under each Warrant shall be adjusted immediately after the effective date of such subdivision, redivision, change, reduction, combination, consolidation or stock dividend by multiplying the number of shares theretofore obtainable on the exercise of the Warrants by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the




 



total number of shares outstanding immediately after such date and the denominator shall be the total number of shares outstanding immediately prior to such date.  Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this subsection shall occur;


(b)

if and whenever, at any time from the Issuance Date and prior to the Time of Expiry, there is a reclassification of the shares or a capital reorganization of the Company other than as described in subsection 4.07(1)(a) or a consolidation, amalgamation, merger, arrangement or other form of business combination of the Company with or into any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, or a sale, lease, exchange or conveyance of the property and assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, any Warrant Holder who has not exercised its right of acquisition, as at the effective date of such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale or conveyance, upon the exercise of such right thereafter, shall be entitled to receive and shall accept, in lieu of the number of shares such Warrant Holder would otherwise be entitled to acquire, the number of shares or other securities or property of the Company or of the body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity resulting from such merger, amalgamation or consolidation, or to which such sale or conveyance may be made, as the case may be, that such Warrant Holder would have been entitled to receive on such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale or conveyance, if, on the record date or the effective date thereof, as the case may be, the Warrant Holder had been the registered holder of the number of shares to which such Warrant Holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise;


(c)

if and whenever, at any time from the Issuance Date until the Time of Expiry, the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of shares entitling the holders thereof, within a period expiring not more than 45 days after the date of issue thereof, to subscribe for or purchase shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) less than 95% of the Current Market Price on the earlier of such record date and the date on which the Company announces its intention to make such issuance, then, in each such case, the number of shares obtainable under a Warrant will be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it will equal the rate determined by multiplying the number of shares



 



theretofore obtainable on the exercise of a Warrant in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the total number of shares outstanding on such record date plus a number of shares equal to the number arrived at by dividing the aggregate price of the total number of additional shares so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered) by such Current Market Price, and of which the numerator shall be the total number of shares outstanding on such record date plus the total number of additional shares so offered for subscription or purchase (or into or for which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable).  To the extent that any such rights, options or warrants are not so issued or any such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the number of shares obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants will then be readjusted to the number of shares obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the number of shares obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants which would then be in effect based upon the number of shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be;


(d)

if and whenever, at any time from the Issuance Date until the Time of Expiry, the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all of the holders of shares of:


(i)

shares of any class other than common shares whether of the Company or any other corporation (other than shares distributed to holders of shares as dividends paid in the ordinary course as stock dividends);


(ii)

rights, options or warrants (other than rights, options or warrants exercisable by the holders thereof within a period expiring not more than 45 days after the date of issue thereof);


(iii)

evidences of indebtedness; or


(iv)

cash, securities or other property or assets (other than cash dividends paid in the ordinary course);


then, in each such case, the number of shares obtainable on the exercise of a Warrant will be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it will equal the rate determined by multiplying the number of shares theretofore




 



obtainable on the exercise of the Warrants in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the total number of shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Market Price on the earlier of such record date and the date on which the Company announces its intention to make such distribution, less the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the directors at the time such distribution is authorized) of such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences of indebtedness or cash, securities or other property or assets so distributed, and of which the numerator shall be the total number of shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Current Market Price.  To the extent that such distribution is not so made or to the extent that any such rights, options or warrants so distributed are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the number of shares obtainable upon the exercise of a Warrant will then be readjusted to the number of shares obtainable upon the exercise of a Warrant which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the number of shares obtainable upon the exercise of a Warrant which would then be in effect based upon such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences of indebtedness or cash, securities or other property or assets actually distributed or based upon the number or amount of securities or the property or assets actually issued or distributed upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be; and


(e)

the adjustments provided for in this Article 4 in the subscription rights pursuant to any Warrants are cumulative.


(2)

Any adjustment to the number of shares or other classes of shares in the capital of the Company or securities or property which a Warrant Holder is entitled to receive upon the exercise of the Warrants (the "Exchange Basis") shall also include a corresponding adjustment to the Exercise Price which shall be calculated by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the Exchange Basis prior to the adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exchange Basis after the adjustment.



 




Section 4.08 - Determination of Adjustments


If any questions arise with respect to the adjustments provided for in this Article 4, such question will be conclusively determined by the Company's Auditors, or, if they decline to act any other firm of nationally recognized Chartered Accountants, in Vancouver, British Columbia, that the Company may designate and who will have access to all appropriate records, and such determination will be binding upon the Company and the Holders of the Warrants.



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 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 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 Exercise Price or the number of shares purchasable on the exercise of any Warrant to such distributions declared with respect to any additional shares issuable on the exercise of any Warrant.



Section 4.10 - Notice of Adjustment


(a)

At least 14 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 Exercise Price and the number of 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 - Securities Restrictions; Legends


Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Share Purchase Warrant Certificate, no Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of any Warrant if the issuance of such securities would constitute a violation of the securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction, and the certificates representing the Shares thereby issued will bear such legends as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, acting reasonably, be necessary in order to avoid a violation of any securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction or to comply with the requirements of any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed, provided that if, at any time, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, such legends are no longer necessary in order to avoid a violation of any such laws, or the holder of any such legended certificate, at his or her expense, provides the Company with evidence satisfactory in form and substance to the Company (which may include an opinion of counsel of recognized standing satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such holder is entitled to sell or otherwise transfer such securities in a transaction in which such legends are not required), such legended certificates may thereafter be surrendered to the Company in exchange for a certificate which does not bear such legends.




ARTICLE FIVE - COVENANTS BY THE COMPANY



Section 5.01 - General Covenants


The Company covenants to the Holders that so long as any Warrants remain outstanding:


(a)

it will allot, reserve and keep available a sufficient number of shares for the purpose of enabling it to satisfy its obligations to issue common shares upon the exercise of the Warrants;


(b)

it will cause the shares and the certificates representing the shares from time to time acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants to be duly issued and delivered in accordance with the certificates representing the Warrants and the respective terms hereof;

(e)

(f)

it will maintain its status as a reporting issuer in British Columbia (and such other provinces in which the Company may become a reporting issuer).




ARTICLE SIX - MEETING OF WARRANT HOLDERS



Section 6.01 - Right to Convene Meeting


(a)

The Company may at any time and from time to time, and will on receipt of a Warrant Holder's Request convene a meeting of the Warrant Holders.  


(b)

If the Company fails within 15 days after receipt of such Warrant Holder's request and indemnity to give notice convening a meeting, such Warrant Holders may convene such meeting.


(c)

Every such meeting will be held in the City of Vancouver, Province of British Columbia, unless required by law to be held elsewhere.



Section 6.02 - Notice


At least 30 days' notice of any meeting will be given by the Company to the Warrant Holders.  Such notice will state the time when and the place where the meeting is to be held and will state briefly the general nature of the business to be transacted, but it will not be necessary for any such notice to set out the terms of any resolution to be proposed or any of the provisions of this Article.




 



Section 6.03 - Chairman


Some person nominated in writing by the Company will be Chairman of the meeting and if no person is so nominated, or if the person so nominated is not present within fifteen minutes from the time fixed for the holding of the meeting, the Warrant Holders present in person or by proxy will choose some person present to be Chairman.



Section 6.04 - Quorum


Subject to the provisions of Section 6.12, at any meeting of the Warrant Holders a quorum will consist of Warrant Holders present in person or by proxy and entitled to purchase at least 25% of the aggregate number of shares which could be purchased pursuant to all the then outstanding Warrants of the class, provided that at least two persons entitled to vote are personally present.  If a quorum of the Warrant Holders is not present within half-an-hour from the time fixed for holding any meeting, the meeting, if summoned by the Warrant Holders, or on a Warrant Holder's request, will be dissolved; but in any other case the meeting will be adjourned to the same day in the next week (unless such day is a non-business day, in which case it will be adjourned to the next following business day) at the same time and place.  At the adjourned meeting the Warrant Holders present in person or by proxy will form a quorum and may transact the business for which the meeting was originally convened notwithstanding that they may not be entitled to purchase at least 25% of the aggregate number of shares which can be purchased pursuant to all of the then outstanding Warrants.



Section 6.05 - Power to Adjourn


The Chairman of any meeting at which a quorum of the Warrant Holders is present may with the consent of the meeting adjourn any such meeting and no notice of such adjournment need be given except such notice, if any, as the meeting may prescribe.



Section 6.06 - Show of Hands


Every question submitted to a meeting will be decided in the first place by a majority of the votes given on a show of hands.  At any such meeting, unless a poll is demanded, a declaration by the Chairman that a resolution has been carried or carried unanimously or by a particular majority will be conclusive evidence of the fact.



 



Section 6.07 - Poll


On any question submitted to a meeting and after a vote by show of hands, when demanded by the Chairman or by one or more of the Warrant Holders acting in person or by proxy and entitled to purchase in the aggregate at least 5% of the aggregate number of shares which could be purchased pursuant to all the Warrants for the time being outstanding, a poll will be taken in such manner as the Chairman will direct.  Questions other than extraordinary resolutions will be decided by a majority of the votes cast on the poll.



Section 6.08 - Voting


On a show of hands every person who is present and entitled to vote, whether as a Warrant Holder or as proxy for one or more absent Warrant Holders or both, will have one vote.  On a poll each Warrant Holder present in person or represented by proxy duly appointed by instrument in writing will be entitled to one vote in respect of each share which he is entitled to purchase pursuant to the Warrant or Warrants then held by him.  A proxy need not be a Warrant Holder.



Section 6.09 - Regulations


The Company may from time to time make or vary such regulations as it will think fit:


(a)

for the issue of voting certificates by any bank, trust company or other depository, certifying that specified Warrants have been deposited with it by a named Holder and will remain on deposit until after the meeting, which voting certificate will entitle the Holders to be present and vote at any such meeting and at any adjournment thereof in the same manner and with the same effect as though the holders so named in such voting certificates were the actual bearers of the Warrants specified therein;


(b)

for the deposit of voting certificates or instruments appointing proxies at such place and time as the Company or the Warrant Holders convening the meeting, as the case may be, may in the notice convening the meeting direct;


(c)

for the deposit of voting certificates or instruments appointing proxies at some approved place or places other than the place at which the meeting is to be held, and enabling particulars of such voting certificates or instruments appointing proxies to be mailed, cabled or telegraphed before the meeting to the Company at the place where the same is to be held, and for the voting of proxies so deposited as though the instruments themselves were produced at the meeting; and




(d)

for the form of the instrument of proxy.

 

 


 


Any regulations so made will be binding and effective and the votes given in accordance therewith will be valid and will be counted.  Save as such regulations may provide, the only persons who will be recognized at any meeting as the Holder of any Warrants, or as entitled to vote or be present at the meeting in respect thereof, will be the registered holders of such Warrants.



Section 6.10 - Company May Be Represented


The Company, by its officers and Directors and the legal advisors of the Company, may attend any meeting of the Warrant Holders, but will have no vote as such.



Section 6.11 - Powers Exercisable by Extraordinary Resolution
