The Company hereby agrees that at all times during the term of this Warrant there shall be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant such number of Common Shares as shall be required for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant (the “Warrant Shares”).

4.        Mutilation or Loss of Warrant

Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) receipt of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date and any such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant shall thereupon become void.

5.        Rights of the Holder

The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.

6.        Protection Against Dilution.

The Exercise Price and the number of shares which can be purchased by the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment in the events and in the manner following:

  (1)

If and whenever the shares at any time outstanding shall be subdivided into a greater or consolidated into a lesser number of shares, the Exercise Price shall be decreased or increased proportionately as the case may be; upon any such subdivision or consolidation, the number of shares which can be purchased upon the exercise of this warrant certificate shall be increased or decreased proportionately as the case may be.

     
  (2)

In case of any capital reorganization or of any reclassification of the capital of the Company or in case of the consolidation, merger or amalgamation of the Company with or into any other company, this Warrant shall after such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital, consolidation, merger or amalgamation confer the right to purchase the number of shares or other securities of the Company or of the Company resulting from such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or amalgamation, as the case may be, to which the Holder of the shares deliverable at the time of such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital, consolidation, merger or amalgamation, upon the exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled. On such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or amalgamation appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Holder of this Warrant so that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable as nearly as may reasonably be in relation to any shares or other securities thereafter deliverable on the exercise of this Warrant.

     
  (3)

The rights of the Holder evidenced hereby are to purchase shares prior to or on the date set out on the face of this Warrant. If there shall, prior to the exercise of any of the rights evidenced hereby, be any reorganization of the authorized capital of the Company by way of consolidation, merger, subdivision, amalgamation or otherwise, or the payment of




 

any stock dividends, then there shall automatically be an adjustment in either or both of the number of shares which may be purchased pursuant hereto or the price at which such shares may be purchased so that the rights evidenced hereby shall thereafter as reasonably as possible be equivalent to those originally granted hereby. The Company shall have the sole and exclusive power to make such adjustments as it considers necessary and desirable.

     
  (4)

The adjustments provided for herein in the subscription rights represented by this Warrant are cumulative.

7.        Limit Price Acceleration of Exercise Price

In the event that, at any time following the date that the Company shall have filed and obtained effectiveness of a Registration Statement registering the resale of the shares to be acquired by the holder on exercise of the warrants, the Company’s Common Shares shall trade at a price in excess of $0.40 per share (the “Limit Price”) for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, then the Holder shall have 15 days in which to elect whether or not to exercise the Warrants (the “Accelerated Exercise Period”). In the event the Warrants are not exercised within the Accelerated Exercise Period, they will expire and the Holder will no longer have any right to exercise the Warrants.

8.        Transfer to Comply with the Securities Act

This Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Act") and has been issued to the Holder for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution of either the Warrant or the Warrant Shares. Neither this Warrant nor any of the Warrant Shares or any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Act relating to such security or an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that registration is not required under the Act. Each certificate for the Warrant, the Warrant Shares and any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall contain a legend on the face thereof, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, setting forth the restrictions on transfer contained in this Section. The Holder understands that this Warrant and the stock purchasable hereunder constitute “restricted securities” under federal securities laws and acknowledges that Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission is not now, and may not in the future be, available for resales of this Warrant and/or the stock purchasable hereunder.

All certificates representing the Warrant Shares will be endorsed with the following legend:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT"), AND HAVE BEEN OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE UPON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR RESOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS THEY ARE REGISTERED UNDER THE APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE ACT OR ARE EXEMPT FROM SUCH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS.”

The Company shall not be required to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with the exercise of this Warrant or a permissible transfer involved in the issuance of any certificate for shares


issuable under this Warrant in the name other than that of the Holder, and in any such case, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any stock certificate until such tax or other charge has been paid or it has been established to the Company’s satisfaction that no such tax or other charge is due.

5

agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Units.

4.6                      An investment in the Company is highly speculative and only Subscribers who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Units. The Subscriber is financially able to bear the economic risks of an investment in the Company.

4.7                      The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of the Units involves a high degree of risk in that the Company is in the early stages of development of its business and may require substantial funds in addition to the proceeds of this private placement.

4.8                      The Subscriber is not aware of any advertisement of the Units.

4.9                      This Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by the Subscriber.

6. Protection Against Dilution. The Exercise Price and the number of shares which can be purchased by the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment in the events and in the manner following: (1) If and whenever the shares at any time outstanding shall be subdivided into a greater or consolidated into a lesser number of shares, the Exercise Price shall be decreased or increased proportionately as the case may be; upon any such subdivision or consolidation, the number of shares which can be purchased upon the exercise of this warrant certificate shall be increased or decreased proportionately as the case may be.
