the number of Common Shares (or other securities) purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Common Shares or other securities of the Company which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto.  An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.

(b)

In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding Common Shares, without any charge to such holders, entitling them (for a period within 45 days after the record date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share which is lower than 95% of the current market price at the record date mentioned below than the then current market price per Common Share (as determined in accordance with subsection (d) below), the number of Common Shares thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be determined by multiplying the number of Common Shares theretofore purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of Common Shares so offered would purchase at the current market price per Common Share at such record date.  Such adjustment shall be made






7


whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants.

(c)

In case the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Shares evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions payable out of consolidated earnings or earned surplus and dividends or distributions referred to in subsection (a) above or in subsection (d) below or rights, options or warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (excluding those referred to in subsection (b) above)), then in each case the number of Common Shares thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be determined by multiplying the number of Common Shares theretofore purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the then current market price per Common Share (as determined in accordance with subsection (d) below) on the date of such distribution, and of which the denominator shall be the then current market price per Common Share less the then fair value (as determined by the board of directors of the Company, acting reasonably) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or of such subscription rights, options or warrants, or of such convertible or exchangeable securities applicable to one Common Share.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made, and shall become effective on the date of distribution retroactive to the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution.

In the event of the distribution by the Company to all or substantially all of the holders of its Common Shares of shares of a subsidiary or securities convertible or exercisable for such shares, then in lieu of an adjustment in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant, the Warrantholder of each Warrant, upon the exercise thereof, shall receive from the Company, such subsidiary or both, as the Company shall reasonably determine, the shares or other securities to which such Warrantholder would have been entitled if such Warrantholder had exercised such Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this section 4.1 provided, however, that no adjustment in respect of dividends or interest on such shares or other securities shall be made during the term of a Warrant or upon the exercise of a Warrant.

(d)

For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b) and (c) of this section 4.1, the current market price per Common Share at any date shall be the weighted average price per Common Share for twenty-five (25) consecutive trading days, commencing not more than 45 trading days before such date on the stock exchange on which the Common Shares are then traded; provided if the Common Shares are then traded on more than one stock exchange, then on the stock exchange on which the largest volume of Common Shares were traded during such twenty-five (25) consecutive trading day period.  The weighted average price per Common Share shall be determined by dividing the aggregate sale price of all Common Shares sold on such exchange or market, as the case may be, during the said twenty-five (25) consecutive trading days by the total number of shares so sold.  For purposes of this subsection (d), trading day means, with respect to a stock exchange, a day on which such exchange is open for the transaction of business.  Should the Common Shares not be listed on any stock exchange the current market price per Common Share at any date shall be determined by the board of directors of the Company, acting reasonably.

(e)

In any case in which this Article 4 shall require that any adjustment in the Exercise Price be made effective immediately after a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of the event the issuance, to the holder of any Warrant exercised after that record date, of the Common Shares and other shares of the Company, if any, issuable upon the






8


exercise of the Warrant over and above the Common Shares and other shares of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to the holder an appropriate instrument evidencing the holder's right to receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

(f)

No adjustment in the number of Common Shares purchasable hereunder shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (f) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.  All calculations shall be made to the nearest one-hundredth of a share.

(g)

Wherever the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares purchasable immediately thereafter.

(h)

No adjustment in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant need be made under subsections (b) and (c) if, the Company issues or distributes to the Warrantholder the rights, options, warrants, or convertible or exchangeable securities, or evidences of indebtedness or assets referred to in those subsections which the Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive had the Warrants been exercised prior to the happening of such event or the record date with respect thereto.

(i)

In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Warrantholder shall become entitled to purchase any securities of the Company other than Common Shares, thereafter the number of such other shares so purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant and the Exercise Price of such shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Shares contained in subsections (a) through (h), inclusive, above, and the provisions of sections 4.2 through 4.4, inclusive, of this Article 4 with respect to the Common Shares, shall apply on like terms to any such other securities.

(j)

Upon the expiration of any rights, options, warrants or conversion or exchange privileges granted to all or substantially all of the holders of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares, if any thereof shall not have been exercised, the Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall, upon such expiration, be readjusted and shall thereafter be such as it would have been had it been originally adjusted (or had the original adjustment not been required, as the case may be) as if:

(i)

the only Common Shares so issued were the Common Shares, if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise of such rights, options, warrants or conversion or exchange rights; and

(ii)

such Common Shares, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by the Company upon such exercise plus the aggregate consideration, if any, actually received by the Company for the issuance, sale or grant of all such rights, options, warrants or conversion or exchange rights whether or not exercised;

provided further, that no such readjustment shall have the effect of increasing the Exercise Price or decreasing the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant by






9


an amount in excess of the amount of the adjustment initially made with respect to the issuance, sale or grant of such rights, options, warrants or conversion or exchange rights.


4.2

Voluntary Adjustment by the Company

Subject to requisite Exchange approval, the Company may, at its option, at any time during the term of the Warrants, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.

4.3

Notice of Adjustment

Whenever the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant or the Exercise Price of such Common Shares is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly send to the Warrantholder by first class mail, postage prepaid, notice of such adjustment or adjustments.

4.4

No Adjustment for Dividends

Except as provided in section 4.1 of this Article 4, no adjustment in respect of any dividends shall be made during the term of a Warrant or upon the exercise of a Warrant.

4.5

Preservation of Purchase Rights Upon Merger, Consolidation, etc.

In connection with any consolidation of the Company with, or amalgamation or merger of the Company with or into, another corporation (including, without limitation, pursuant to a "takeover bid", "tender offer" or other acquisition of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares) or in case of any sale, transfer or lease to another corporation of all or substantially all the property of the Company, the Company or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Warrantholder an agreement that the Warrantholder shall have the right thereafter, upon payment of the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such action, to purchase upon exercise of each Warrant the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale, transfer or lease had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such action, and the Warrantholder shall be bound to accept such shares and other securities and property in lieu of the Common Shares to which it was previously entitled; provided, however, that no adjustment in respect of dividends, interest or other income on or from such shares or other securities and property shall be made during the term of a Warrant or upon the exercise of a Warrant.  Any such agreement shall provide for adjustments, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Schedule "A".  The provisions of this Article 4 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, amalgamation, sales, transfers or leases.

4.6

Determination of Adjustments

If any questions shall at any time arise with respect to the Exercise Price, such question shall be conclusively determined by the Company's Auditors, or, if they decline to so act, any other firm of Chartered Accountants, in Vancouver, B.C., that the Company may designate and the Warrantholder, acting reasonably, may approve, and who shall have access to all appropriate records and such determination shall be binding upon the Company and the holder.
