Within five business days after surrender and payment as aforesaid, the Company shall forthwith cause to be delivered to the person in whose name the shares so subscribed for are to be issued as specified in the Warrant Exercise Form or cause to be mailed to him at his address specified in the Warrant Exercise Form, a certificate or certificates for the appropriate number of Shares not exceeding those which the Warrant Holder is entitled to purchase pursuant to the Warrant Certificate surrendered.

(a)

if and whenever the Shares at any time outstanding shall be subdivided into a greater, or consolidated into a lesser number of shares, or in the event of any payment by the Company of a stock dividend, the Exercise Price shall be decreased or increased proportionately as the case may be; upon any such subdivision, consolidation, or payment of a stock dividend, the number of shares deliverable upon the, or payment of a stock dividend, the number of shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be increased or decreased proportionately as the case may be;

 


5


(b)

in case of any capital reorganization or of any reclassification of the capital of the Company or in case of the consolidation, merger or amalgamation of the Company with or into any other company, each Warrant shall, after such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital, consolidation, merger or amalgamation, confer the right to purchase the number of shares or other securities of the Company or of the company resulting from such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or amalgamation, as the case may be, to which the Holder of the shares deliverable at the time of such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital, consolidation, merger or amalgamation, upon the exercise of such Warrant would have been entitled on such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or amalgamation and in any case, if necessary, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Article Four shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be in relation to any shares or other securities thereafter deliverable on the exercise of the Warrants.  The subdivision or consolidation of shares at any time outstanding into a greater or lesser number of shares (whether with or without par value) shall not be deemed to be a capital reorganization or a reclassification of the capital of the Company for the purposes of this paragraph; and


(c)

If and whenever the Company shall fix a record date or if a date of entitlement to receive is otherwise established (any such date being hereinafter referred to in this subsection 4(c) as the “record date”) for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of the outstanding Shares entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 45 days after such record date, to subscribe for or purchase Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares at a price per share or, as the case may be, having a conversion or exchange price per share less than 95% of the Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) on such record date, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Shares outstanding on such record date plus a number equal to the number arrived at by dividing the aggregate subscription or purchase price of the total number of additional Shares offered for subscription or purchase or, as the case may be, the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered by such Fair Market Value, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Shares outstanding on such record date plus the total number of additional Shares so offered (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable); Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation; such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; to the extent that any rights or warrants are not so issued or any such rights or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price shall then be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Shares or conversion or exchange rights contained in convertible or exchangeable securities actually issued upon the exercise of such rights or warrants, as the case may be.


 


6

 

For the purposes of any computation hereunder, the “Fair Market Value” at any date shall be the weighted average sale price per share for the Shares for the 20 consecutive trading days immediately before such date on the most senior stock exchange on which the Shares may then be listed and on which there is the greatest volume of trading of the Shares for such 20 day period, or, if the shares or any other security in respect of which a determination of Fair Market Value is being made are not listed on any stock exchange, the Fair Market Value shall be determined by the directors, which determination shall be conclusive.  The weighted average price shall be determined by dividing the aggregate sale price of all such shares sold on the said exchange during the said 20 consecutive trading days by the total number of such shares so sold; and


(d)

the adjustments provided for in this section are cumulative.


Section 4.08 - 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 that the Company may designate and who shall have access to all appropriate records and such determination shall be binding upon the Company and the Warrant Holders.


ARTICLE FIVE - COVENANTS BY THE COMPANY


Section 5.01 - General Covenants


The Company will reserve and there will remain unissued out of its authorized capital a sufficient number of Shares to satisfy the rights of purchase provided for herein should the Holders of all the Warrants from time to time outstanding determine to exercise such rights in respect of all Shares which they are or may be entitled to purchase pursuant thereto.


The Company will use its best efforts to maintain its corporate existence.


ARTICLE SIX - WAIVER OF CERTAIN RIGHTS


Section 6.01 - Immunity of Shareholders, etc.


The Warrant Holder hereby waives and releases any right, cause or action or remedy now or hereafter existing in any jurisdiction against any past, present or future incorporator, shareholder, director or officer (as such) of the Company for the issue of shares pursuant to any Warrant or on any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty by the Company herein contained.
