4.

EFFECT OF EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

4.1        Subject to applicable securities laws, upon exercise of any Warrants and payment of the applicable exercise price, the Warrant Shares so subscribed for will be deemed to have been issued and the Consultant will be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares on the date of such exercise and payment.

ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES

5.1        The exercise price and the number of Warrant Shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be subject to adjustment in the event and in the manner following:

(a) If and whenever the common shares of the Company at any time outstanding are subdivided into a greater or consolidated into a lesser number of shares the exercise price will be decreased or increased proportionately as the case may be; and upon any such subdivision or consolidation the number of Warrant Shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be increased or decreased proportionately as the case may be.

D/AZS/687938.1

 



- 3 -

 

 

(c) In any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustments will be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5 relating to the rights and interest thereafter of the Consultant, as the holder of the Warrants, so that the provisions of this Section 5 will be made applicable as nearly as reasonably possible to any shares or other securities deliverable after the Reorganization on the exercise of the Warrants.

(d) The subdivision or consolidation of shares at any time outstanding into a greater or lesser number of shares (whether with or without par value) will not be deemed to be a Reorganization for the purposes of this Section 5.

(e) The adjustments provided for in this Section 5 are cumulative and will become effective immediately after the record date or, if no record date is fixed, the effective date of the event which results in such adjustments.

5.2        If any questions will at any time arise with respect to the exercise price or any adjustment provided for in Section 5.1, such questions will be conclusively determined by the Company’s auditors, or, if they decline to so act any other firm of certified public accountants that the Company may designate and who will have access to all appropriate records and such determination will be binding upon the Company and the holder of the Warrants.

6.

3.2

This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above, and the person entitled to receive the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on such date.

The Company further covenants that all Warrant Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will be free from all taxes, liens and preemptive rights in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously or otherwise specified herein). The Company agrees that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.

8.

Amendments and Waivers. This Warrant is being issued as one of a series of warrants issued by the Company on the date hereof and, accordingly, any term of this Warrant may be amended and the observance of any term of this Warrant may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with the written consent of the Company and the holder of this Warrant.

D/AZS/687938.1

 



- 4 -

 

 

other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such reorganization or reclassification or other change and the Exercise Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, be proportionately adjusted (provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same) such that this Warrant shall be exercisable into, in lieu of the number of Warrant Shares which the Holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock that would have been subject to receipt by the Holder had the Holder exercised the Warrant immediately before that change. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof.

9.2

Split, Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and un-expired shall split, subdivide or combine the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, into a different number of securities of the same class, the Exercise Price for such securities shall be proportionately decreased and the number of securities issuable upon exercise proportionately increased in the case of a split or subdivision or the Exercise Price of such securities shall be proportionately increased and the number of securities issuable upon exercise proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Any adjustment under this Section 9.2 shall become effective concurrently with the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

9.3

Adjustments for Dividends in Stock or Other Securities or Property. If, while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and un-expired, the holders of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist at the time shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other or additional stock or other securities or property of the Company by way of dividend or otherwise, then and in each case, this Warrant shall represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of shares of the security receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, and without payment of any additional consideration thereof, the amount of such other or additional stock or other securities or property as aforesaid of the Company which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional stock available by it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by the provisions of this Section 9. Any adjustment under this Section 9.3 shall become effective as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.
