8.                                       Adjustment

 

(a)                                  If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time the Corporation shall (i) subdivide, re-divide or change its then outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares, (ii) reduce, combine or consolidate its then outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of Common Shares, or (iii) issue Common Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares) to the holders of all or substantially all of its then outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend or other distribution other than a stock dividend or other distribution made in the ordinary course (any of such events herein called a “Common Share Reorganization”), then the Exercise Price shall he adjusted effective immediately after the effective date of any such event in (i) or (ii) above or the record date at which the holders of Common Shares are determined for the purpose of any such dividend or distribution in (iii) above, as the case may be, by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such effective date or record date, as the case may be, by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such effective date or record date, as the case may be, before giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization and the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization including, in the case where securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares are distributed, the number of Common Shares that would be outstanding if such securities were exchanged for or converted into Common Shares.

 

(b)                                 Subject to the prior consent of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) if and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time, the Corporation shall distribute any class of shares or rights, options or warrants or other securities (other than those referred to in 8(a) above), evidences of indebtedness or property (excluding cash dividends paid in the ordinary course) to holders of all or substantially all of its then outstanding Common Shares, the Holder shall receive, in addition to the number of the Common Shares in respect of which the right to purchase is then being exercised, the aggregate number of Common Shares or other securities or property that the Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such event, if, on the record date thereof, the Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which the Holder was theretofore entitled upon the exercise of the rights of the Holder hereunder.

 

3



 

(c)                                  If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time there is a capital reorganization of the Corporation or a reclassification or other change in the Common Shares (other than a Common Share Reorganization) or a consolidation or merger or amalgamation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or other entity (other than a consolidation, merger or amalgamation which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other securities), or a transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s undertaking and assets to another corporation or other entity in which the holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive shares, other securities or other property (any of such events being called a “Capital Reorganization”), the Holder, where he has not exercised the right of subscription and purchase under this Warrant Certificate prior to the effective date of such Capital Reorganization, shall be entitled to receive and shall accept, upon the exercise of such right, on such date or any time thereafter, for the same aggregate consideration in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which he was theretofore entitled to subscribe for and purchase, the aggregate number of shares or other securities or property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date hereof, he had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which he was theretofore entitled to subscribe for and purchase.

 

(d)                                 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 of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of the outstanding Common Shares entitling them, for a period expiring not more than forty-five (45) days after the record date, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Shares (each, a “Convertible Security”) at a price per share (or having a conversion, exercise or exchange price per share) less than 95% of the Current Market Price (as defined below) on the earlier of the record date and the date on which the Corporation announces its intention to make such issuance (any such issuance being herein called a “Rights Offering”), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted on the record date so that it shall equal the number which is the product of the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date and the fraction:

 

(i)                                     the numerator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the record date plus a number of Common Shares equal to the number arrived at by multiplying the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase or into or for which the total number of rights, options or warrants so offered are convertible or exchangeable by the quotient obtained by dividing the purchase or subscription price for each Common Share or conversion price for each Convertible Security offered for subscription or purchase by such Current Market Price for the Common Shares, and

 

(ii)                                  the denominator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such record date plus the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase or into or for which the total number of rights, options or warrants so offered are convertible or exchangeable.

 

To the extent that any rights, options or warrants are not so issued or any of the rights, options or warrants so issued are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the

 

4



 

Exercise Price will be readjusted to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date, and the Exercise Price will be further adjusted based upon the number of additional Common Shares actually delivered upon the exercise of the rights, options or warrants, as the case may be.

 

For the purposes of this clause 8(d), “Current Market Price”, at any date, means the weighted average price per Common Share at which the Common Shares have traded: (a) on the TSX; or (b) if the Common Shares are not quoted on the TSX, on any stock exchange or over-the-counter market upon which the Common Shares are then listed or quoted for trading, during the twenty (20) consecutive trading days (on each of which at least five hundred (500) Common Shares are traded in board lots) ending the third (3rd) trading day before such date, and the weighted average price shall be determined by dividing the aggregate sale price of all Common Shares sold in board lots on the exchange or market, as the case may be, during the twenty (20) consecutive trading days by the number of Common Shares sold, provided that if the Common Shares are not listed or quoted for trading on any stock exchange or market, the price shall be determined by the board of directors of the Corporation in its sole discretion, acting reasonably.

 

(e)                                  If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time, any of the events set out in clause 8(a) or (d) shall occur and the occurrence of such event results in an adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of clause 8(a) or (d), then the number of Common Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall be adjusted contemporaneously with the adjustment of the Exercise Price by multiplying the number of Common Shares then otherwise purchasable on the exercise thereof by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment and the denominator of which shall he the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

 

(f)                                    Subject to the prior consent of the TSX, if the Corporation takes any action affecting its Common Shares to which the foregoing provisions of this clause 8, in the opinion of the board of directors of the Corporation, acting in good faith, 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 hereof, or would otherwise materially affect the rights of the Holder of the Warrants hereunder, then the Corporation shall execute and deliver to the Holder an amendment hereto providing for an adjustment in the application of such provisions so as to adjust such rights as aforesaid in such manner as the board of directors of the Corporation may determine to be equitable in the circumstances, acting in good faith. The failure of the taking of action by the board of directors of the Corporation to so provide for any adjustment on or prior to the effective date of any action or occurrence giving rise to such state of facts will be conclusive evidence that the board of directors has determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances.

 

9.                                       The following rules and procedures shall be applicable to the adjustments made pursuant to clause 8:

 

(a)                                  no adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless a change of at least 1% of the prevailing Exercise Price would result, provided, however, that any adjustment which, except for the provisions of this clause 9(a), would otherwise have been required to be made, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment;

 

5



 

(b)                                 the adjustments provided for in clause 8 are cumulative and shall apply to successive subdivisions, consolidations, dividends, distributions and other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of such clause;

 

(c)                                  in the absence of a resolution of the board of directors of the Corporation fixing a record date for any dividend or distribution referred to in clause 8(a)(iii) above, the Corporation shall be deemed to have fixed as the record date therefor the date on which such dividend or distribution is effected;

 

(d)                                 if the Corporation sets a record date to take any action and thereafter and before the taking of such action abandons its plan to take such action, then no adjustment to the Exercise Price will be required by reason of the setting of such record date;

 

(e)                                  forthwith after any adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares purchasable pursuant to the Warrants, the Corporation shall provide to the Holder a certificate of an officer of the Corporation certifying as to the amount of such adjustment and, in reasonable detail, describing the event requiring and the manner of computing or determining such adjustment; and

 

(f)                                    any question that at any time or from time to time arises with respect to the amount of any adjustment to the Exercise Price or other adjustment pursuant to clause 8 shall be conclusively determined by a firm of independent chartered accountants (who may be the Corporation’s auditors) and shall he binding upon the Corporation and the Holder.

 

10.                                 On the happening of each and every such event set out in Clause 8, the applicable provisions of this Warrant, including the Exercise Price, shall, ipso facto, be determined to be amended accordingly and the Corporation shall take all necessary action so as to comply with such provisions as so amended.

 

11.                                 The Corporation shall not be required to deliver certificates for Common Shares while the share transfer books of the Corporation are properly closed, having regard to the provisions of clauses 8 and 9 hereof, prior to any meeting of shareholders or for the payment of dividends or for any other purpose and in the event of the surrender of any Warrant in accordance with the provisions hereof and the making of any subscription and payment for the Common Shares called for thereby during any such period delivery of certificates for Common Shares may be postponed for not more than five (5) days after the date of the re-opening of said share transfer books. Provided, however, that any such postponement of delivery of certificates shall be without prejudice to the right of the Holder so surrendering the same and making payment during such period to receive after the share transfer books shall have been re-opened such certificates for the Common Shares called for, as the same may be adjusted pursuant to clause 8 hereof as a result of the completion of the event in respect of which the transfer books were closed.

 

12.                                 Subject as hereinafter provided, all or any of the rights conferred upon the Holder by the terms hereof may be enforced by the Holder by appropriate legal proceedings. No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained herein shall be had against any shareholder, director or officer of the Corporation either directly or through the Corporation, it being expressly agreed and declared that the obligations under the Warrants are solely corporate obligations and that no personal liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by the shareholders, directors or officers of the Corporation or any of them in respect thereof, any and all rights and claims against every such shareholder, officer or director being hereby expressly waived as a condition of and as a consideration for the issue of the Warrants.

13.                                 The Holder may subscribe for and purchase any lesser number of Common Shares than the number of shares expressed in this Warrant Certificate.  In the case of any subscription for a lesser number of Common Shares than expressed in this Warrant Certificate, the Holder hereof shall be entitled to receive at no cost to the Holder a new Warrant Certificate in respect of the balance of Warrants not then exercised. Such new Warrant Certificate shall be delivered by bonded overnight courier to the Holder by the Corporation, contemporaneously with the delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the Common Shares issued pursuant to clause 5.

 

14.                                 If this Warrant Certificate is stolen, lost, mutilated or destroyed, the Corporation shall, on such terms as it may in its discretion acting reasonably impose, issue and sign a new Warrant Certificate of like denomination, tenor and date, and if applicable, with the same legend, as the Warrant Certificate so stolen, lost, mutilated or destroyed for delivery to the Holder.

 

15.                                 The Corporation shall keep at its principal office: (a) a register of holders in which shall be entered the names and addresses of the holders of the Warrants and of the number of Warrants held by them; and (b) a register of transfers in which shall be entered the date and other particulars of each transfer of Warrants.  The registers hereinbefore referred to shall be open at all reasonable times for inspection by any Holder.

 

16.                                 The transferee of a Warrant Certificate shall, after the transfer form attached to the Warrant Certificate or any other form of transfer acceptable to the Corporation, acting reasonably, is duly completed and the Warrant Certificate is lodged with the Corporation and upon compliance with all other conditions in that regard required by this Warrant, by the TSX or by law, be entitled to have his name entered on the register of holders as the owner of the Warrants represented thereby free from all equities or rights of set-off or counterclaim between the Corporation and the transferor or any previous holder of such Warrant, save in respect of equities of which the Corporation or the transferee is required to take notice by statute or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

17.                                 Warrant Certificates may, upon compliance with the reasonable requirements of the Corporation, be exchanged for Warrant Certificates in any other denomination representing in the aggregate the same number of Warrants. The Corporation shall issue and sign all Warrant Certificates necessary to carry out the exchanges contemplated herein, provided:

 

(i)                                     Warrant Certificates may be exchanged only at the principal office of the Corporation in the City of Vancouver;

 

(ii)                                  any Warrant Certificates tendered for exchange shall be surrendered to the Corporation and cancelled; and

 

(iii)                               except as otherwise herein provided, the Corporation shall not charge Holders requesting an exchange any sum for any new Warrant Certificate issued.

 

18.                                 The Corporation may deem and treat the registered holder of any Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner of the Warrants represented thereby for all purposes, and the Corporation shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary except where the Corporation is required to take notice by statute or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction. A Holder shall be entitled to the rights evidenced by such Warrant free from all equities or rights of set-off or counterclaim between the Corporation and the original or any intermediate holder thereof and all persons may act accordingly and the receipt by any such Holder of the Common Shares purchasable pursuant to such Warrant shall be a good discharge to the Corporation for the same and the Corporation shall not be bound to inquire into the

title of any such Holder except where the Corporation is required to take notice by statute or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

1.                                      For the purpose of this Warrant, the term “Common Shares” means common shares in the capital of the Corporation as constituted on the date hereof; provided that in the event of a change, subdivision, re-division, reduction, combination or consolidation thereof or any other adjustment under clause 7 hereof, or such successive changes, subdivisions, re-divisions, reductions, combinations, consolidations or other adjustments, then subject to the adjustments, if any, having been made in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant Certificate, “Common Shares” shall thereafter mean the shares, other securities or other property resulting from such change, subdivision, re-division, reduction, combination or consolidation or other adjustment.

3.                                      The right to purchase Common Shares pursuant to the Warrants may only be exercised by the Holder before the Expiry Time by:

4.                                      Issue Common Shares upon Exercise

 

(a)                                 Upon such delivery and payment as set forth in clause 3 but subject to clause 22, the Corporation shall cause to be issued to the Holder the number of Common Shares to be issued and the Holder shall become a shareholder of the Corporation in respect of such Common Shares with effect from the date of such delivery and payment and shall be entitled to delivery of a certificate or certificates evidencing such shares.  The Corporation shall cause such certificate or certificates to be delivered via bonded overnight courier to the Holder at the address or addresses specified in such subscription form within five (5) business days of such delivery and payment as herein provided.

 

(b)                                The Corporation shall not be required to issue fractional Common Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants and no payment shall be made by the Corporation in lieu of issuing any fractional interest in a Common Share.

6.                                      The Corporation covenants and agrees that until the Expiry Time, while any of the Warrants shall be outstanding, it shall reserve and there shall remain unissued out of its authorized capital a sufficient number of Common Shares to satisfy the right of purchase herein provided, as such right of purchase may be adjusted pursuant to clauses 7 and 8 hereof.  All Common Shares which shall be issued upon the exercise of the right to purchase herein provided for, upon payment therefor of the amount at which such Common Shares may be at the time be purchased pursuant to the provisions hereof, shall be issued as fully paid and non-assessable shares and the holders thereof shall not be liable to the Corporation or its creditors in respect thereof.  The Corporation shall prepare and file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission no later than a date which is sixty (60) days after the date hereof, a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) registering the issuance from time to time of Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms of the Warrants.  The Corporation shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to case such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the U.S. Securities Act no later than the date that is one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date hereof, and to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the U.S. Securities Act until the Expiry Time or the exercise of all of the Warrants.

 

7.                                      Adjustment

 

(a)                                 If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to Expiry Time the Corporation shall (i) subdivide, re-divide or change its then outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares, (ii) reduce, combine or consolidate its then outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of Common Shares, or (iii) issue Common Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares) to the holders of all or substantially all of its then outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend or other distribution (any of such events herein called a “Common Share

Reorganization”), then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the effective date of any such event in (i) or (ii) above or the record date at which the holders of Common Shares are determined for the purpose of any such dividend or distribution in (iii) above, as the case may be, by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such effective date or record date, as the case may by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such effective date or record date, as the case may be, before giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization and the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization including, in the case where securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares are distributed, the number of Common Shares that would be outstanding if such securities were exchanged for or converted into Common Shares.

 

(b)                                If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time, the Corporation shall distribute any class of shares or rights, options or warrants or other securities (other than those referred to in 7(a) above), evidences of indebtedness or property (excluding cash dividends paid in the ordinary course) to holders of all or substantially all of its then outstanding Common Shares, the Holder shall receive, in addition to the number of the Common Shares in respect of which the right to purchase is then being exercised, the aggregate number of Common Shares or other securities or property that the Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such event, if, on the record date thereof, the Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which the Holder was theretofore entitled upon the exercise of the rights of the Holder hereunder.

 

(c)                                 If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time there is a capital reorganization of the Corporation or a reclassification or other change in the Common Shares (other than a Common Share Reorganization) or a consolidation or merger or amalgamation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or other entity (other than a consolidation, merger or amalgamation which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other securities), or a transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s undertaking and assets to another corporation or other entity in which the holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive shares, other securities or other property (any of such events being called a “Capital Reorganization”), the Holder, where he has not exercised the right of subscription and purchase under this Warrant Certificate prior to the effective date of such Capital Reorganization, shall be entitled to receive and shall accept, upon the exercise of such right, on such date or any time thereafter, for the same aggregate consideration in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which he was theretofore entitled to subscribe for and purchase, the aggregate number of shares or other securities or property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, he had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which he was theretofore entitled to subscribe for and purchase.  The Corporation shall take all steps necessary to ensure that, at any time on or after the completion of a Capital Reorganization, the Holder will receive the aggregate number of shares, other securities or other property to which the Holder is entitled hereunder as a result of the Capital Reorganization.  No Capital Reorganization which involves a capital reorganization of the Corporation’s subsidiary, Aquiline Resources Inc. (“Aquiline”), or a reclassification or other change in the common shares of Aquiline (other than to (i) subdivide, re-divide or change Aquiline’s then outstanding common shares into a greater number of common shares, (ii) reduce,

 

3



 

combine or consolidate Aquiline’s then outstanding common shares into a lesser number of common shares, or (iii) issue common shares of Aquiline (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into common shares of Aquiline) to the holders of all or substantially all of Aquiline’s then outstanding common shares by way of a stock dividend or other distribution) or a consolidation or merger or amalgamation of Aquiline with or into any other corporation or other entity (other than a consolidation, merger or amalgamation which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding common shares of Aquiline or a change of such common shares into other securities), or a transfer of all or substantially all of Aquiline’s undertaking and assets to another corporation or other entity in which the holders of Aquiline’s then outstanding common shares are entitled to receive shares, other securities or other property shall be completed by Aquiline unless the foregoing provisions of this clause 7(e) relating to Capital Reorganizations shall have been complied with to the satisfaction of the Holder, acting reasonably.

 

(d)                                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 of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of the outstanding Common Shares entitling them, for a period expiring not more than forty-five (45) days after the record date, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Shares (each, a “Convertible Security”) at a price per share (or having a conversion, exercise or exchange price per share) less than 95% of the Current Market Price (as defined below) on the earlier of the record date and the date on which the Corporation announces its intention to make such issuance (any such issuance being herein called a “Rights Offering”), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted on the record date so that it shall equal the number which is the product of the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date and the fractions:

 

(i)                                    the numerator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the record date plus a number of Common Shares equal to the number arrived at by multiplying the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase or into or for which the total number of rights, options or warrants so offered are convertible or exchangeable by the quotient obtained by dividing the purchase or subscription price for each Common Share or conversion price for each Convertible Security offered for subscription or purchase by such Current Market Price for the Common Shares, and

 

(ii)                                 the denominator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such record date plus the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase or into or for which the total number of rights, options or warrants so offered are convertible or exchangeable.

 

To the extent that any rights, options or warrants are not so issued or any of the rights, options or warrants so issued are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price will be readjusted to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date, and the Exercise Price will be further adjusted based upon the number of additional Common Shares actually delivered upon the exercise of the rights, options or warrants, as the case may be.

For the purposes of this clause 7(d), “Current Market Price”, at any date, means the weighted average price per Common Share at which the Common Shares have traded:  (a) on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”); or (b) if the Common Shares are not quoted on the TSX, on any stock exchange or over-the-counter market upon which the Common Shares are then listed or quoted for trading, during the twenty (20) consecutive trading days (on each of which at least five hundred (500) Common Shares are traded in board lots) ending the third (3rd) trading day before such date, and the weighted average price shall be determined by dividing the aggregate sale price of all Common Shares sold in board lots on the exchange or market, as the case may be, during the twenty (20) consecutive trading days by the number of Common Shares sold, provided that if the Common Shares are not listed or quoted for trading on any stock exchange or market, the price shall be determined by the board of directors of the Corporation in its sole discretion, acting reasonably.

 

(e)                                 If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time, any of the events set out in clause 7(a) or (d) shall occur and the occurrence of such event results in an adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of clause 7(a) or (d), then the number of Common Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall be adjusted contemporaneously with the adjustment of the Exercise Price by multiplying the number of Common Shares then otherwise purchasable on the exercise thereof by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

 

(f)                                   If the Corporation takes any action affecting its Common Shares to which the foregoing provisions of this clause 7, in the opinion of the board of directors of the Corporation , acting in good faith, 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 hereof, or would otherwise materially affect the rights of the Holder of the Warrants hereunder, then the Corporation shall execute and deliver to the Holder an amendment hereto providing for an adjustment in the application of such provisions so as to adjust such rights as aforesaid in such manner as the board of directors of the Corporation may determine to be equitable in the circumstances, acting in good faith.  The failure of the taking of action by the board of directors of the Corporation to so provide for any adjustment on or prior to the effective date of any action or occurrence giving rise to such state of facts will be conclusive evidence that the board of directors has determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances.

 

8.                                      The following rules and procedures shall be applicable to the adjustments made pursuant to clause 7:

 

(a)                                 no adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless a change of at least 1% of the prevailing Exercise Price would result, provided, however, that any adjustment which, except for the provisions of this clause 8(a), would otherwise have been required to be made, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment;

 

(b)                                the adjustments provided for in clause 7 are cumulative and shall apply to successive subdivisions, consolidations, dividends, distributions and other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of such clause;

 

5



 

(c)                                 in the absence of a resolution of the board of directors of the Corporation fixing a record date for any dividend or distribution referred to in clause 8(a)(iii) above, the Corporation shall be deemed to have fixed as the record date therefor the date on which such dividend or distribution is effected;

 

(d)                                if the Corporation sets a record date to take any action and thereafter and before the taking of such action abandons its plan to take such action, then no adjustment to the Exercise Price will be required by reason of the setting of such record date;

 

(e)                                 forthwith after any adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares purchasable pursuant to the Warrants, the Corporation shall provide to the Holder a certificate of an officer of the Corporation certifying as to the amount of such adjustment and in reasonable detail, describing the event requiring and the manner of computing or determining such adjustment; and

 

(f)                                   any question that at any time or from time to time arises with respect to the amount of any adjustment to the Exercise Price or other adjustment pursuant to clause 7 shall be conclusively determined by a firm of independent chartered accountants (who may be the Corporation’s auditors) and shall be binding upon the Corporation and the Holder.

 

9.                                      On the happening of each and every such event set out in clause 7, the applicable provisions of this Warrant, 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.

 

10.                                The Corporation shall not be required to deliver certificates for Common Shares while the share transfer books of the Corporation are properly closed, having regard to the provisions of clauses 7 and 8 hereof, prior to any meeting of shareholders or for the payment of dividends or for any other purposes and in the event of the surrender of any Warrant in accordance with the provisions hereof and the making of any subscription and payment for the Common Shares called for thereby during any such period delivery of certificates for Common Shares may be postponed for not more than five (5) days after the date of the re-opening of said share transfer books.  Provided, however, that any such postponement of delivery of certificates shall be without prejudice to the right of the Holder so surrendering the same and making payment during such period to receive after the share transfer books shall have been re-opened such certificates for the Common Shares called for, as the same may be adjusted pursuant to clause 7 hereof as a result of the completion of the event in respect of which the transfer books were closed.

 

11.                                Subject as hereinafter provided, all or any of the rights conferred upon the Holder by the terms hereof may be enforced by the Holder by appropriate legal proceedings. No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained herein shall be had against any shareholder, director or officer of the Corporation either directly or through the Corporation, it being expressly agreed and declared that the obligations under the Warrants are solely corporate obligations and that no personal liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by the shareholders, directors or officers of the Corporation or any of them in respect thereof, any and all rights and claims against every such shareholder, officer or director being hereby expressly waived as a condition of and as a consideration for the issue of the Warrants.

 

12.                                The Holder may subscribe for and purchase any lesser number of Common Shares than the number of shares expressed in this Warrant Certificate.  In the case of any subscription for a lesser number of Common Shares than expressed in this Warrant Certificate, the Holder hereof shall be entitled to receive at no cost to the Holder a new Warrant Certificate in respect of the balance of Warrant not then exercised.  Such new Warrant Certificate shall be delivered by bonded overnight courier to the Holder by

the Corporation, contemporaneously with the delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the Common Shares issued pursuant to clause 4.

 

13.                                If this Warrant Certificate is stolen, lost, mutilated or destroyed, the Corporation shall, on such terms as it may in its discretion acting reasonably impose, issue and sign a new Warrant Certificate of like denomination, tenor and date, and if applicable, with the same legend, as the Warrant Certificate so stolen, lost, mutilated or destroyed for delivery to the Holder.

 

14.                                The Corporation shall keep at its principal office: (a) a register of holders in which shall be entered the names and addresses of the holders of the Warrants and of the number of Warrants held by them; and (b) a register of transfers in which shall be entered the date and other particulars of each transfer of Warrants. The registers hereinbefore referred to shall be open at all reasonable times for inspection by any Holder.

 

15.                                The transferee of a Warrant Certificate shall, after the transfer form attached to the Warrant Certificate or any other form of transfer acceptable to the Corporation, acting reasonably, is duly completed and the Warrant Certificate is lodged with the Corporation and upon compliance with all other conditions in that regard required by this Warrant, by the TSX or by law, be entitled to have his name entered on the register of holders as the owner of the Warrants represented thereby free from all equities or rights of set-off or counterclaim between the Corporation and the transferor or any previous holder of such Warrant, save in respect of equities of which the Corporation or the transferee is required to take notice by statute or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

16.                                Warrant Certificates may, upon compliance with the reasonable requirements of the Corporation, be exchanged for Warrant Certificates in any other denomination representing in the aggregate the same number of Warrants.  The Corporation shall issue and sign all Warrant Certificates necessary to carry out the exchanges contemplated herein, provided:

 

(i)                                    Warrant Certificates may be exchanged only at the principal office of the Corporation in the City of Vancouver;

 

(ii)                                 any Warrant Certificates tendered for exchange shall be surrendered to the Corporation and cancelled; and

 

(iii)                              except as otherwise herein provided, the Corporation shall not charge Holders requesting an exchange any sum for any new Warrant certificate issued.

 

17.                                The Corporation may deem and treat registered holder of any Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner of the Warrants represented thereby for all purposes, and the Corporation shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary except where the Corporation is required to take notice by statute or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.  A Holder shall be entitled to the rights evidenced by such Warrant free from all equities or rights of set-off or counterclaim between the Corporation and the original or any intermediate holder thereof and all persons may act accordingly and the receipt by any such Holder of the Common Shares purchasable pursuant to such Warrant shall be a good discharge to the Corporation for the same and the Corporation shall not be bound to inquire into the title of any such Holder except where the Corporation is required to take notice by statute or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b)                             The Corporation shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and maintain its corporate existence.

 

11.                                 Adjustment to Exercise Price

 

The Exercise Price in effect at any time is subject to adjustment from time to time in the events and in the manner provided as follows:

 

(1)                                  If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time the Corporation:

 

(a)                                  issues Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares to all or substantially all the holders of the Common Shares as a stock dividend;

 

(b)                                 makes a distribution on its outstanding Common Shares payable in Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares;

 

(c)                                  subdivides its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares; or

 

(d)                                 consolidates its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares;

 

(any such event being called a “Common Share Reorganization”), then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the effective date of the happening of a Common Share Reorganization, as the case may be, at which the holders of Common Shares are determined for the purpose of the or the record date at which the holders of

 

4



 

Common Shares are determined for the purpose of the Common Share Reorganization by by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such effective date or record date by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding on such effective date or record date before giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization and the denominator of which s the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization (including, in the case where securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares are distributed, the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had all such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares on such effective date or record date).

 

(2)                                 If and whenever, at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time, the Corporation fixes a record date for the issue of rights, options or warrants to the holders of all or substantially all of its outstanding Common Shares under which such holders are entitled to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Share, where:

 

(a)                                 the right to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or the right to exchange securities for or convert securities into Common Shares, expires not more than 45 days after the date of such issue (the period from the record date to the date of expiry being herein in this Section 11 called the “Rights Period”); and

 

(b)                                the cost per Common Share during the Rights Period (inclusive of any cost of acquisition of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares in addition to any direct cost of Common Shares) (in this Section 11 called the “Per Share Cost”) is less than 95% of the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on the record date;

 

(any of such events being called a “Rights Offering”), then the Exercise Price will be adjusted effective immediately after the end of the Rights Period to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the end of the Rights Period by a fraction:

 

(i)                                     the numerator of which is the aggregate of:

 

A.                                   the number of Common Shares outstanding as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and

 

B.                                     a number determined by dividing the product of the Per Share Cost and:

 

(I)                                    where the event giving rise to the application of this subsection 11(2) was the issue of rights, options or warrants to the holders of Common Shares under which such holders are entitled to subscribe for or purchase additional Common Shares, the number of Common Shares so subscribed for or purchased during the Rights Period; or

 

(II)                                where the event giving rise to the application of this subsection 11(2) was the issue of rights, options or

 

5



 

warrants to the holders of Common Shares under which such holders are entitled to subscribe for or purchase securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, the number of Common Shares for which those securities so subscribed for or purchased during the Rights Period could have been exchanged or into which they could have been converted during the Rights Period,

 

by the Current Market Price of the Common Shares as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and

 

(ii)                                  the denominator of which is:

 

A.                                   in the case described in subparagraph 11(2)(i)(B)(I), the number of Common Shares outstanding; or

 

B.                                     in the case described in subparagraph 11(2)(i)(B)(II), the number of Common Shares that would be outstanding if all the Common Shares described in subparagraph 11(2)(i)(B)(II) had been issued,

 

as at the end of the Rights Period.

 

Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation or any subsidiary or affiliate (as such terms are defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) of the Corporation will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computations.

 

If by the terms of the rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 11, there is more than one purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, the aggregate price of the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase, or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible securities so offered, will be calculated for purposes of the adjustment on the basis of:

 

(iii)                             the lowest purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, as the case may be, if such price is applicable to all Common Shares which are subject to the rights, options or warrants; and

 

(iv)                             the average purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, as the case may be, if the applicable price is determined by reference to that number of Common Shares acquired.

 

To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this Section 11 as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 11, the Exercise Price will be readjusted immediately after the expiration of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiration and will be further readjusted in such manner upon expiration of any further such right.

 

6



 

If the Holder has exercised this Warrant in accordance herewith during the period beginning after the record date for a Rights Offering and ending on the last day of the Rights Period thereunder, the Holder will, in addition to the Common Shares to which it is otherwise entitled upon such exercise, be entitled to that number of additional Common Shares equal to the result obtained when the difference, if any, between the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the end of such Rights Offering pursuant to this subsection is multiplied by the number of Common Shares received upon the exercise of this Warrant during such period, and the resulting product is divided by the Exercise Price as adjusted for such Rights Offering pursuant to this subsection provided that the provisions of Section 7 will be applicable to any fractional interest in a Common Share to which such Holder might otherwise be entitled.  Such additional Common Shares will be deemed to have been issued to the Holder immediately following the end of the Rights Period and a certificate for such additional Common Shares will be delivered to such Holder within ten Business Days following the end of the Rights Period.

 

(3)                                 If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time, the Corporation fixes a record date for the issue or the distribution to the holders of all or substantially all its Common Shares of:

 

(i)                                    shares of the Corporation of any class other than Common Shares;

 

(ii)                                 rights, options or warrants to acquire shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares or property or other assets of the Corporation;

 

(iii)                              evidence of indebtedness; or

 

(iv)                             any property or other assets,

 

and if such issuance or distribution does not constitute a Common Share Reorganization or a Rights Offering (any of such non-excluded events being called a “Special Distribution”), the Exercise Price will be adjusted effective immediately after such record date to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction:

 

(i)                                     the numerator of which is:

 

A.                                   the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date; less

 

B.                                     the aggregate fair market value (as determined by action by the auditors of the Corporation) to the holders of the Common Shares of such securities or property or other assets so issued or distributed in the Special Distribution; and

 

(ii)                                  the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date.

 

7



 

Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation or any subsidiary or affiliate (as such terms are defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) of the Corporation will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation.

 

(4)                                 If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time, there is a Common Share Reorganization, a Rights Offering, a Special Distribution, a reclassification of the Common Shares outstanding at any time or change of the Common Shares into other shares or into other securities (other than a Common Share Reorganization), or a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or other entity (other than a consolidation, amalgamation or merger which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other shares), or a transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially was an entirety to another corporation or other entity (any of such events being called a “Capital Reorganization”), the Holder, upon exercising this Warrant after the effective date of such Capital Reorganization, will be entitled to receive in lieu of the number of Common 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 Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which such Holder was therefore entitled upon exercise of this Warrant.  If determined appropriate by action of the directors of the Corporation, appropriate adjustments will be made as a result of any such Capital Reorganization in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 11 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 11 will 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 hereof.  Any such adjustment must be made by and set forth in an amendment to this Warrant approved by action by the directors of the Corporation and will for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.

 

(5)                                 If at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time any adjustment in the Exercise Price shall occur as a result of:

 

(a)                                  an event referred to in subsection 11(1);

 

(b)                                 the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for an event referred to in subsection 11(2); or

 

(c)                                  the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for an event referred to in subsection 11(3) if such event constitutes the issue or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of its outstanding Common Shares of (A) Equity Shares, or (B) securities exchangeable for or convertible into Equity Shares at an exchange or conversion price per Equity Share less than the Current Market Price on such record date, or (C) rights, options or warrants to acquire Equity Shares at an exercise, exchange or conversion price per Equity Share less than the Current Market Price on such record date,

 

then the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the subsequent exercise of this Warrant shall be simultaneously adjusted by multiplying the number of Common Shares

 

8



 

purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction which shall be the reciprocal of the fraction employed in the adjustment of the Exercise Price.  To the extent any adjustment in subscription rights occurs pursuant to this subsection 11(5) as a result of a distribution of exchangeable or convertible securities other than Equity Shares referred to in subsection 11(1) or as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to in subsection 11(2), the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be readjusted immediately after the expiration of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable immediately after such expiration and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon expiration of any further such right.  To the extent that any adjustment in subscription rights occurs pursuant to this subsection 11(5) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the distribution of exchangeable or convertible securities other than Equity Shares or rights, options or warrants referred to in subsection 11(3), the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be readjusted immediately after the expiration of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the number which would be purchasable pursuant to this subsection 11(5) if the fair market value of such securities or such rights, options or warrants had been determined for purposes of the adjustment pursuant to this subsection 11(5) on the basis of the number of Equity Shares issued and remaining issuable immediately after such expiration and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon expiration of any further such right.

 

12.                               Rules Regarding Calculation of Adjustment of Exercise Price

 

The following rules and procedures shall be applicable to adjustments made pursuant to Section 11 herein:

 

(1)                                  The adjustments provided for in Section 11 are cumulative and will, in the case of adjustments to the Exercise Price, be computed to the nearest one-tenth of one cent and will be made successively whenever an event referred to therein occurs, subject to the following subsections of this Section 12.

 

(2)                                  No adjustments in the Exercise Price is required to be made unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% in the prevailing Exercise Price, provided however, that any adjustment which, except for the provisions of this subsection, would otherwise have been required to be made, will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustments.

 

(3)                                  No adjustment in the Exercise Price will be made in respect of any event described in Section 11, other than the events referred to in clauses 11(1)(c) and (d), if the Holder is entitled to participate in such event on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as if the Holder had exercised this Warrant prior to or on the effective date or record date of such event.  Any participation by a holder pursuant to this Section 12(3) is subject to the prior approval of the Exchange, to the extent that the Common Shares are then listed on such exchange.

 

(4)                                  No adjustment in the Exercise Price will be made under Section 11 in respect of the issue from time to time of Common Shares issuable from time to time as dividends paid in the ordinary course to holders of Common Shares who exercise an option or election to

 

9


 

receive substantially equivalent dividends in Common Shares in lieu of receiving a cash dividend and any such issue will be deemed not to be a Common Share Reorganization.’

 

(5)                                  If at any time a dispute arises with respect to adjustments provided for in Section 11, such dispute will 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 directors of the Corporation and any such determination, absent manifest error, will be binding upon the Corporation, the Holder and shareholders of the Corporation.  The Corporation will provide such auditors or accountants with access to all necessary records of the Corporation.

 

(6)                                  In case the Corporation, after the date of issue of this Warrant, takes any action affecting the Common Shares, other than an action described in Section 11, which in the opinion of the directors of the Corporation would materially affect the rights of the Holder, the Exercise Price will be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time, by action by the directors of the Corporation but subject in all cases to any necessary regulatory approval, including approval of the Exchange, to the extent that the Common Shares are then listed on such exchange.  Failure of the taking of action by the directors of the Corporation so as to provide for an adjustment on or prior to the effective date of any action by the Corporation affecting the Common Shares will be conclusive evidence that the board of directors of the Corporation has determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances.

 

(7)                                  If the Corporation sets a record date to determine the holders of the Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or distribution or sets a record date to take any other action and, thereafter and before the distribution to such shareholders of any such dividend or distribution or the taking of any other action, decides not to implement its plan or pay or deliver such dividend or distribution or take such other action, then no adjustment in the Exercise Price will be required by reason of the setting of such record date.

 

(8)                                  In the absence of a resolution of the directors of the Corporation fixing a record date for a Special Distribution or Rights Offering, the Corporation will be deemed to have fixed as the record date therefor the date on which the Special Distribution or Rights Offering is effected.

 

(9)                                  As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require any adjustment to this Warrant, including the Exercise Price, the Corporation must take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Corporation shall have unissued and reserved in its authorized capital and may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all of the shares or other securities which the Holder is entitled to receive on the full exercise thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof.

 

(10)                            The Corporation will from time to time, immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in Section 11, forthwith give notice to the Holder specifying the event requiring such adjustment or readjustment and the results thereof, including the resulting Exercise Price.

 

(11)                            The Corporation covenants to and in favour of the Holder that so long as this Warrant remains outstanding, it will give notice to the Holder of its intention to fix a record date for any event referred to in subsection 11(1), (2) or (3) (other than the subdivision or

 

10



 

consolidation of the Common Shares) which may give rise to an adjustment in the Exercise Price and, in each case, such notice must specify the particulars of such event and the record date and the effective date for such event, provided that the Corporation is only required to specify in such notice such particulars of such event as have been fixed and determined on the date on which such notice is given.  Such notice shall be given not less than 14 days prior to each such applicable record date or effective date.

 

(12)                            Any adjustment to the Exercise Price under the terms of this Warrant shall be subject to the prior approval of the Exchange, to the extent that the Common Shares are then listed on such exchange.

 

13.          Consolidation and Amalgamation

 

(1)                                  The Corporation shall not enter into any transactions whereby all or substantially all of its undertaking, property and assets would become the property of any other corporation (herein called a “successor corporation”) whether by way of reorganization, reconstruction, consolidation, amalgamation, merger, transfer, sale, disposition or otherwise, unless prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of such transaction the Corporation and the successor corporation shall have executed such instruments and done such things as, in the opinion of counsel to the Corporation, are necessary or advisable to establish that upon the consummation of such transaction:

 

(i)                                     the successor corporation will have assumed all the covenants and obligations of the Corporation under this Warrant; and

 

(ii)                                  the Warrant will be a valid and binding obligation of the successor corporation entitling the Holder, as against the successor corporation, to all the rights of the Holder under this Warrant.

 

(2)                                  Whenever the conditions of subsection 13(1) shall have been duly observed and performed, the successor corporation shall possess and from time to time may exercise each and every right and power of the Corporation under this Warrant in the name of the Corporation or otherwise and any act or proceeding by any provision hereof required to be done or performed by any director or officer of the Corporation may be done and performed with like force and effect by the like directors or officers of the successor corporation.

 

14.          Representations and Warranties

 

The Corporation hereby represents and warrants with and to the Holder that the Corporation is duly authorized and has the corporate and lawful power and authority to create and issue this Warrant and the Common Shares issuable upon the exercise hereof and to perform its obligations hereunder and that this Warrant represents a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Corporation enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

15.          If Share Transfer Books Closed

 

The Corporation shall not be required to deliver certificates for Common Shares while the share transfer books of the Corporation are properly closed prior to any meeting of shareholders, for the payment of dividends or for any other purpose and in the event of the surrender of any Warrant in accordance with the provisions hereof and the making of any subscription and payment for the Common Shares called for

 

11



 

thereby during any such period, delivery of certificates for Common Shares may be postponed for not more than five Business Days after the date of the re-opening of said share transfer books.  Any such postponement of delivery of certificates shall be without prejudice to the right of the Holder, if the Holder has surrendered the same and made payment during such period, to receive such certificates for the Common Shares called for after the share transfer books have been re-opened.

 

16.          Stolen, Lost, Mutilated or Destroyed Certificate

 

If the certificate evidencing the Warrants issued hereby is stolen, lost, mutilated or destroyed, the Corporation shall, on such terms as it may in its discretion impose, issue and countersign a new warrant of like denomination, tenor and date as the certificate so stolen, lost, mutilated or destroyed.

 

17.          Governing Law

 

This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

 

18.          Severability

 

If any one or more of the provisions or parts thereof contained in this Warrant should be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, the remaining provisions or parts thereof contained herein shall be and shall be conclusively deemed to be, as to such jurisdiction, severable therefrom and:

 

(a)                                  the validity, legality or enforceability of such remaining provisions or parts thereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired by the severance of the provisions or parts thereof severed; and

 

(b)                                 the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision or part thereof contained in this Warrant in any jurisdiction shall not affect or impair such provision or part thereof or any other provisions of this Warrant in any other jurisdiction.

(b)                             The Corporation shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and maintain its corporate existence.

 

11.           Adjustment to Exercise Price

 

The Exercise Price in effect at any time is subject to adjustment from time to time in the events and in the manner provided as follows:

 

(1)                                  If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time the Corporation:

 

(a)                                  issues Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares to all or substantially all the holders of the Common Shares as a stock dividend;

 

(b)                                 makes a distribution on its outstanding Common Shares payable in Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares;

 

(c)                                  subdivides its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares; or

 

(d)                                 consolidates its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares;

 

(any such event being called a “Common Share Reorganization”), then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the effective date of the happening of a Common Share Reorganization, as the case may be, at which the holders of Common Shares are determined for the purpose of the  or the record date at which the holders of

 

4



 

Common Shares are determined for the purpose of the Common Share Reorganization by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such effective date or record date by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding on such effective date or record date before giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization and the denominator of which s the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization (including, in the case where securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares are distributed, the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had all such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares on such effective date or record date).

 

(2)                                 If and whenever, at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time, the Corporation fixes a record date for the issue of rights, options or warrants to the holders of all or substantially all of its outstanding Common Shares under which such holders are entitled to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Share, where:

 

(a)                                 the right to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or the right to exchange securities for or convert securities into Common Shares, expires not more than 45 days after the date of such issue (the period from the record date to the date of expiry being herein in this Section 11 called the “Rights Period”); and

 

(b)                                the cost per Common Share during the Rights Period (inclusive of any cost of acquisition of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares in addition to any direct cost of Common Shares) (in this Section 11 called the “Per Share Cost”) is less than 95% of the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on the record date;

 

(any of such events being called a “Rights Offering”), then the Exercise Price will be adjusted effective immediately after the end of the Rights Period to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the end of the Rights Period by a fraction:

 

(i)                                     the numerator of which is the aggregate of:

 

A.                                   the number of Common Shares outstanding as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and

 

B.                                     a number determined by dividing the product of the Per Share Cost and:

 

(I)                                    where the event giving rise to the application of this subsection 11(2) was the issue of rights, options or warrants to the holders of Common Shares under which such holders are entitled to subscribe for or purchase additional Common Shares, the number of Common Shares so subscribed for or purchased during the Rights Period; or

 

(II)                                where the event giving rise to the application of this subsection 11(2) was the issue of rights, options or warrants to the holders of Common Shares under which

 

5



 

such holders are entitled to subscribe for or purchase securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, the number of Common Shares for which those securities so subscribed for or purchased during the Rights Period could have been exchanged or into which they could have been converted during the Rights Period,

 

by the Current Market Price of the Common Shares as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and

 

(ii)                                  the denominator of which is:

 

A.                                   in the case described in subparagraph 11(2)(i)(B)(I), the number of Common Shares outstanding; or

 

B.                                     in the case described in subparagraph 11(2)(i)(B)(II), the number of Common Shares that would be outstanding if all the Common Shares described in subparagraph 11(2)(i)(B)(II) had been issued,

 

as at the end of the Rights Period.

 

Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation or any subsidiary or affiliate (as such terms are defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) of the Corporation will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computations.

 

If by the terms of the rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 11, there is more than one purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, the aggregate price of the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase, or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible securities so offered, will be calculated for purposes of the adjustment on the basis of:

 

(i)                                     the lowest purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, as the case may be, if such price is applicable to all Common Shares which are subject to the rights, options or warrants; and

 

(ii)                                  the average purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, as the case may be, if the applicable price is determined by reference to that number of Common Shares acquired.

 

To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this Section 11 as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 11, the Exercise Price will be readjusted immediately after the expiration of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiration and will be further readjusted in such manner upon expiration of any further such right.

 

If the Holder has exercised this Warrant in accordance herewith during the period beginning after the record date for a Rights Offering and ending on the last day of the

 

6



 

Rights Period thereunder, the Holder will, in addition to the Common Shares to which it is otherwise entitled upon such exercise, be entitled to that number of additional Common Shares equal to the result obtained when the difference, if any, between the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the end of such Rights Offering pursuant to this subsection is multiplied by the number of Common Shares received upon the exercise of this Warrant during such period, and the resulting product is divided by the Exercise Price as adjusted for such Rights Offering pursuant to this subsection provided that the provisions of Section 7 will be applicable to any fractional interest in a Common Share to which such Holder might otherwise be entitled.  Such additional Common Shares will be deemed to have been issued to the Holder immediately following the end of the Rights Period and a certificate for such additional Common Shares will be delivered to such Holder within ten Business Days following the end of the Rights Period.

 

(3)                                  If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time, the Corporation fixes a record date for the issue or the distribution to the holders of all or substantially all its Common Shares of:

 

(i)                                    shares of the Corporation of any class other than Common Shares;

 

(ii)                                 rights, options or warrants to acquire shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares or property or other assets of the Corporation;

 

(iii)                              evidence of indebtedness; or

 

(iv)                             any property or other assets,

 

and if such issuance or distribution does not constitute a Common Share Reorganization or a Rights Offering (any of such non-excluded events being called a “Special Distribution”), the Exercise Price will be adjusted effective immediately after such record date to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction:

 

(i)                                    the numerator of which is:

 

A.                                  the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date; less

 

B.                                    the aggregate fair market value (as determined by action by the auditors of the Corporation) to the holders of the Common Shares of such securities or property or other assets so issued or distributed in the Special Distribution; and

 

(ii)                                 the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date.

 

Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation or any subsidiary or affiliate (as such terms are defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) of the Corporation will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation.

 

7



 

(4)                                 If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time, there is a Common Share Reorganization, a Rights Offering, a Special Distribution, a reclassification of the Common Shares outstanding at any time or change of the Common Shares into other shares or into other securities (other than a Common Share Reorganization), or a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or other entity (other than a consolidation, amalgamation or merger which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other shares), or a transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially was an entirety to another corporation or other entity (any of such events being called a “Capital Reorganization”), the Holder, upon exercising this Warrant after the effective date of such Capital Reorganization, will be entitled to receive in lieu of the number of Common 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 Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which such Holder was therefore entitled upon exercise of this Warrant.  If determined appropriate by action of the directors of the Corporation, appropriate adjustments will be made as a result of any such Capital Reorganization in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 11 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 11 will 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 hereof.  Any such adjustment must be made by and set forth in an amendment to this Warrant approved by action by the directors of the Corporation and will for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.

 

(5)                                 If at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time any adjustment in the Exercise Price shall occur as a result of:

 

(a)                                 an event referred to in subsection 11(1);

 

(b)                                the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for an event referred to in subsection 11(2); or

 

(c)                                 the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for an event referred to in subsection 11(3) if such event constitutes the issue or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of its outstanding Common Shares of (A) Equity Shares, or (B) securities exchangeable for or convertible into Equity Shares at an exchange or conversion price per Equity Share less than the Current Market Price on such record date, or (C) rights, options or warrants to acquire Equity Shares at an exercise, exchange or conversion price per Equity Share less than the Current Market Price on such record date,

 

then the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the subsequent exercise of this Warrant shall be simultaneously adjusted by multiplying the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction which shall be the reciprocal of the fraction employed in the adjustment of the Exercise Price.  To the extent any adjustment in subscription rights occurs pursuant to this subsection 11(5) as a result of a distribution of exchangeable or convertible securities other than Equity Shares referred to in subsection 11(1) or as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to

 

8



 

in subsection 11(2), the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be readjusted immediately after the expiration of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable immediately after such expiration and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon expiration of any further such right.  To the extent that any adjustment in subscription rights occurs pursuant to this subsection 11(5) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the distribution of exchangeable or convertible securities other than Equity Shares or rights, options or warrants referred to in subsection 11(3), the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be readjusted immediately after the expiration of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the number which would be purchasable pursuant to this subsection 11(5) if the fair market value of such securities or such rights, options or warrants had been determined for purposes of the adjustment pursuant to this subsection 11(5) on the basis of the number of Equity Shares issued and remaining issuable immediately after such expiration and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon expiration of any further such right.

 

12.          Rules Regarding Calculation of Adjustment of Exercise Price

 

The following rules and procedures shall be applicable to adjustments made pursuant to Section 11 herein:

 

(1)                                  The adjustments provided for in Section 11 are cumulative and will, in the case of adjustments to the Exercise Price, be computed to the nearest one-tenth of one cent and will be made successively whenever an event referred to therein occurs, subject to the following subsections of this Section 12.

 

(2)                                  No adjustments in the Exercise Price is required to be made unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% in the prevailing Exercise Price, provided however, that any adjustment which, except for the provisions of this subsection, would otherwise have been required to be made, will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustments.

 

(3)                                  No adjustment in the Exercise Price will be made in respect of any event described in Section 11, other than the events referred to in clauses 11(1)(c) and (d), if the Holder is entitled to participate in such event on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as if the Holder had exercised this Warrant prior to or on the effective date or record date of such event.  Any participation by a holder pursuant to this Section 12(3) is subject to the prior approval of the Exchange, to the extent that the Common Shares are then listed on such exchange.

 

(4)                                  No adjustment in the Exercise Price will be made under Section 11 in respect of the issue from time to time of Common Shares issuable from time to time as dividends paid in the ordinary course to holders of Common Shares who exercise an option or election to receive substantially equivalent dividends in Common Shares in lieu of receiving a cash dividend and any such issue will be deemed not to be a Common Share Reorganization.

 

(5)                                  If at any time a dispute arises with respect to adjustments provided for in Section 11, such dispute will 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 directors of the Corporation and any such determination, absent manifest error, will be binding upon the Corporation, the Holder and shareholders of the

 

9


 

Corporation.  The Corporation will provide such auditors or accountants with access to all necessary records of the Corporation.

 

(6)                                In case the Corporation, after the date of issue of this Warrant, takes any action affecting the Common Shares, other than an action described in Section 11, which in the opinion of the directors of the Corporation would materially affect the rights of the Holder, the Exercise Price will be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time, by action by the directors of the Corporation but subject in all cases to any necessary regulatory approval, including approval of the Exchange, to the extent that the Common Shares are then listed on such exchange.  Failure of the taking of action by the directors of the Corporation so as to provide for an adjustment on or prior to the effective date of any action by the Corporation affecting the Common Shares will be conclusive evidence that the board of directors of the Corporation has determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances.

 

(7)                                If the Corporation sets a record date to determine the holders of the Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or distribution or sets a record date to take any other action and, thereafter and before the distribution to such shareholders of any such dividend or distribution or the taking of any other action, decides not to implement its plan or pay or deliver such dividend or distribution or take such other action, then no adjustment in the Exercise Price will be required by reason of the setting of such record date.

 

(8)                                In the absence of a resolution of the directors of the Corporation fixing a record date for a Special Distribution or Rights Offering, the Corporation will be deemed to have fixed as the record date therefor the date on which the Special Distribution or Rights Offering is effected.

 

(9)                                As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require any adjustment to this Warrant, including the Exercise Price, the Corporation must take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Corporation shall have unissued and reserved in its authorized capital and may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all of the shares or other securities which the Holder is entitled to receive on the full exercise thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof.

 

(10)                          The Corporation will from time to time, immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in Section 11, forthwith give notice to the Holder specifying the event requiring such adjustment or readjustment and the results thereof, including the resulting Exercise Price.

 

(11)                          The Corporation covenants to and in favour of the Holder that so long as this Warrant remains outstanding, it will give notice to the Holder of its intention to fix a record date for any event referred to in subsection 11(1), (2) or (3) (other than the subdivision or consolidation of the Common Shares) which may give rise to an adjustment in the Exercise Price and, in each case, such notice must specify the particulars of such event and the record date and the effective date for such event, provided that the Corporation is only required to specify in such notice such particulars of such event as have been fixed and determined on the date on which such notice is given.  Such notice shall be given not less than 14 days prior to each such applicable record date or effective date.
