Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
On April 16, 2024, Permex Petroleum Corporation (the “Company”) issued $500,000 in convertible debenture units (the “Units”) in a private placement offering (the “Offering”). Each Unit consists of one 10% Senior Secured Convertible Debenture (a “Debenture”) in the principal amount of US$1,000 and one Common Share Purchase Warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant is exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance for one common share of the Company (a “Share”) at an exercise price of US$4.08.
The Debentures will mature (the “Maturity Date”) on the earlier of: (i) one-year from the date of issuance or (ii) three-months from the date of issuance if the Company does not enter into a securities exchange, unit purchase or merger agreement with a third party to the reasonable satisfaction of a majority of the holders of Debentures. The Debentures bear simple interest at a rate of 10%, payable on the Maturity Date or the date on which all or any portion of the Debenture is repaid. Interest will be paid in cash or Shares based on a conversion price of US$3.40 (the “Conversion Price”), subject to the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “Exchange”). The Debentures will rank senior to all other existing and future indebtedness of the Company and are secured by a general security agreement over certain assets of the Company.
At any time during the term of the Debentures, a holder of Debentures may elect to convert the outstanding principal and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon into Shares at the Conversion Price. The Debentures will automatically convert into Shares at the Conversion Price in the event the Company completes a financing of Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of at least US$7,500,000. The Company has the right to repay the Debenture at any time in whole or in part without the consent of the debentureholder and without penalty. The terms of the Debenture provide that upon certain Events of Default (as defined in the Debenture), the outstanding principal and interest owed under the Debenture may become immediately due and payable.
The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Offering for general working capital purposes as well as potential mergers and acquisitions.
The issuance of the Units was exempt from registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
The foregoing description of the Debenture and the Warrant does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Debenture and Warrant, which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering would be unlawful.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

Regardless of any provision contained in this Debenture or any other related document, in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts that are contracted for, charged or received by a Debentureholder pursuant to the terms of this Debenture or any other related document and that are deemed interest under applicable law exceed the highest rate permissible under any applicable law (including resulting in an amount or at a rate that would result in the receipt by a Debentureholder of interest at a criminal rate, as the terms “interest” and “criminal rate” are defined under the Criminal Code (Canada)), which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. No agreements, conditions, provisions or stipulations contained herein or in any other related documents or the exercise by a Debentureholder of the right to accelerate the payment or the maturity of all or any portion of the obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Debenture or the prepayment by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Debenture, or the occurrence of any contingency whatsoever, shall entitle a Debentureholder to charge or receive, in any event, interest or charges, amounts, premiums or fees deemed interest by applicable law (such interest, charges, amounts, premiums and fees referred to collectively as “Interest”) in excess of the maximum rate allowable under applicable law and in no event shall the Borrower be obligated to pay Interest exceeding such maximum rate, and all agreements, conditions, or stipulations, if any, which may in any event or contingency whatsoever operate to bind, obligate or compel the Borrower to pay Interest exceeding the maximum rate allowable under applicable law shall be without binding force or effect, at law or in equity, to the extent only of the excess of Interest over such maximum rate. If any Interest is charged or received in excess of the maximum rate allowable under applicable law (“Excess”), the Borrower acknowledges and stipulates that any such charge or receipt shall be the result of an accident and bona fide error, and such Excess, to the extent received, shall be applied first to reduce the indebtedness outstanding pursuant to the Debenture and the balance, if any, returned to the Borrower, it being the intent of the parties hereto not to enter into a usurious or other illegal relationship. For the purpose of determining whether or not any Excess has been contracted for, charged or received by a Debentureholder, all Interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from the Borrower in connection with this Debenture or any other related document shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts throughout the full term of the Debenture.
Section 2.4 Method of Paying of Interest
The Borrower shall satisfy its obligation to pay interest on the Debenture on the Interest Payment Date, in cash, except upon the occurrence of a Conversion Event whereby the interest on the Debenture will be converted to Common Shares in accordance with Article 3 hereof.

Section 2.5 Rank; Security
This Debenture will constitute a direct secured obligation of the Borrower. This Debenture will rank senior to all current debt of the Borrower, subject to statutory preferred exceptions and Permitted Liens, and in priority to all future unsecured indebtedness of the Borrower.

Execution of the Security Agreement will occur at the time of the execution of this Debenture.

Section 3.1 Automatic Conversion
In the event of a Conversion Event, the entire Principal Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall automatically, without any action on the part of the Debentureholder, convert into Common Shares at the Conversion Price (subject to adjustment as set forth herein). In the event that the Borrower determines in its sole discretion that the issuance of any of the Common Shares upon the conversion of the Principal Amount, any accrued and unpaid interest, or both, would violate any Applicable Securities Law or the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) or any other applicable stock exchange on the date of the Conversion Event, the Debentureholder shall receive cash in lieu of the Common Shares the Debentureholder would have been otherwise entitled to receive. In particular, no Common Shares will be issued upon conversion of any accrued and unpaid interest in the event that such conversion would violate the policies of any applicable securities exchange, including but not limited to, the CSE, or the application of Section 2.3 hereof. Upon conversion of this Debenture pursuant to this Section 3.1 and the delivery of the Common Shares pursuant to Section 3.3 below, the Debentureholder will no longer be a holder of this Debenture and shall have no rights hereunder.
Section 3.2 Optional Conversion
At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Debentureholder has the option, but not the obligation, to convert the entire Principal Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, into Common Shares at the Conversion Price (subject to adjustment as set forth herein). In the event that the Borrower determines in its sole discretion that the issuance of any of the Common Shares upon the conversion of the Principal Amount, any accrued and unpaid interest, or both, would violate any Applicable Securities Law or the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) or any other applicable stock exchange on the date the Debentureholder gives notice of their intention to convert the Debenture into Common Shares (the “Conversion Election Date”), the Debenture shall not be converted into Common Shares and shall continue to be outstanding. In particular, no Common Shares will be issued upon conversion of any accrued and unpaid interest in the event that such conversion would violate the policies of any applicable securities exchange, including but not limited to, the CSE, or the application of Section 2.3 hereof. Upon conversion of this Debenture pursuant to this Section 3.2 and the delivery of the Common Shares pursuant to Section 3.3 below, the Debentureholder will no longer be a holder of this Debenture and shall have no rights hereunder.
Section 3.3 Conversion Procedure
Upon a Conversion Event triggering the automatic conversion of this Debenture under Section 3.1 or upon the election by the Debentureholder to convert this Debenture pursuant to Section 3.2, Debentureholder shall surrender this Debenture (or a notice to the effect that the original Debenture has been lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement acceptable to the Borrower whereby the Debentureholder agrees to indemnify the Borrower from any loss incurred by it in connection with this Debentureholder) at least one Business Day prior a Conversion Event, or in the case of an election by the Debentureholder to convert this Debenture pursuant to Section 3.2, on the Conversion Election Date. In connection with a Conversion Event, Debentureholder hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Borrower all transaction documents entered into by other purchasers of the Common Shares issued in the applicable Qualified Financing, including, as applicable, a purchase agreement and any ancillary agreements, with customary representations and warranties and transfer restrictions. The Borrower shall, as soon as practicable after receiving the Debenture along with the other documentation required under this Section 3.3, issue and deliver to such Debentureholder a certificate or certificates (if certificated) for the number of Common Shares to which the Debentureholder shall be entitled upon conversion of their Debenture.
A-6 |
Section 3.4 Adjustment of Conversion Price
The Conversion Price in effect at any date shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(1) | If and whenever at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall: |
(a) | subdivide or re-divide the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares; | |
(b) | reduce, combine or consolidate the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares; | |
(c) | issue Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of stock dividend or other distribution; | |
(d) | issue of rights, options or warrants to the holders of all or substantially all of Common Shares; | |
(e) | make a distribution on its outstanding Common Shares payable in Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares; or | |
(f) | make a distribution to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares of any other class of shares, rights, options or warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets, |
then the Conversion Price in effect on the effective date of such subdivision, re-division, reduction, combination or consolidation or on the record date for such issue of Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) by way of a stock dividend or other distribution, as the case may be, shall, in the case of the events referred to in Section 3.4(1)(a), (c), (d), (e) and (f) above, be decreased in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such subdivision, re-division or dividend (including, in the case where securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares are issued, the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had such securities been converted into or exchanged for Common Shares on such effective or record date) or shall, in the case of the events referred to in Section 3.4(1)(b) above, be increased in proportion to the decrease in the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such reduction, combination or consolidation on such effective or record date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this Section 3.4(1) shall occur. Any such issue of Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) by way of a stock dividend or other distribution shall be deemed to have been made on the record date for the stock dividend or other distribution for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under Section 3.4(2) and (3); to the extent that any such securities are not converted into or exchanged for Common Shares prior to the expiration of the conversion or exchange right, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted effective as at the date of such expiration to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued on the exercise of such conversion or exchange right.

(2) If and whenever at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common Shares entitling them, for a period expiring not more than forty-five (45) days after such date of issue (such period from the record date to the date of expiry being referred to in this Section 3.4(2) as the “Rights Period”), to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) (such subscription price per Common Share (inclusive of any cost of acquisition of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares in addition to any direct cost of Common Shares) being referred to in this Section 3.4(2) as the “Per Share Cost”), the Borrower shall give written notice to the Debentureholder with respect thereto (any of such events herein referred to as a “Rights Offering”), and the Debentureholder shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice to elect to convert any or all of the Principal Amount of this Debenture into Common Shares at the then applicable Conversion Price and otherwise on terms and conditions set out in this Debenture. The Conversion Price will be adjusted effective immediately after the end of the Rights Period to a price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the end of the Rights Period by a fraction:
(a) | the numerator of which is the aggregate of: |
(i) | the number of Common Shares outstanding as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and | |
(ii) | the number determined by dividing the product of the Per Share Cost and: |
(A) | where the event giving rise to the application of this Section 3.4(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 | |
(B) | where the event giving rise to the application of this Section 3.4(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 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 (as hereinafter defined) of the Common Shares as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and
(b) | the denominator of which is |
(i) | in the case described in subparagraph 3.4(2)(a)(ii)(A), the number of Common Shares outstanding, or | |
(ii) | in the case described in subparagraph 3.4(2)(a)(ii)(B), the number of Common Shares that would be outstanding if all the Common Shares described in subparagraph 3.4(2)(a)(ii)(B) had been issued, |
as at the end of the Rights Period.
“Current Market Price” of the Common Shares at any date, means the average closing price per Common Share on the OTCQB, if the Common Shares are not quoted on the OTCQB, then the average closing price per Common Share on the stock exchange or over-the-counter market where the Common Shares are currently trading, for any 20 consecutive trading days selected by the Borrower commencing not later than 45 trading days and ending no later than five (5) trading days before such date; provided, or in the event that at any date the Common Shares are not quoted on the OTCQB or trading on any exchange or over-the-counter market, the current market price shall be as determined by the directors of the Borrower or, at the request of the Debentureholder, such firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by the directors of the Borrower, acting reasonably, and in good faith in their sole discretion for these purposes.
A-8 |
If by the terms of the rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 3.4(2), 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
(c) | 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 | |
(d) | the average purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, as the case may be, if the applicable price is determined by reference to the number of Common Shares acquired. |
To the extent that any adjustment in the Conversion Price occurs pursuant to this Section 3.4(2) as a result of the fixing by the Borrower of a record date for the distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 3.4(2), the Conversion Price will be readjusted immediately after the expiration of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the Conversion 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.
(3) If and whenever at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common Shares of (i) shares of any class other than Common Shares (or other than securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares), or (ii) rights, options or warrants (other than rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 3.4(2)), or (iii) evidences of its indebtedness, or (iv) assets (other than dividends paid in the ordinary course) then, in each such case, the Borrower shall give written notice to the Debentureholder with respect thereto.
The Conversion Price will be adjusted effective immediately after such record date to a price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on such record date by a fraction:
(a) | the numerator of which is: |
(i) | 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 | |
(ii) | the aggregate fair market value (as determined by action by the directors of the Borrower, acting reasonably) to the holders of the Common Shares of such securities or property or other assets so issued or distributed in the Special Distribution; and |
(b) | 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. |
(4) In the case of any reclassification of, or other change in, the outstanding Common Shares pursuant to a Merger, the Conversion Price in effect after the effective date of such Merger shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in proportion to any decrease or increase in the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such Merger so that the Debentureholder, upon the conversion of the Debenture after the effective date of such Merger, will be entitled to receive the aggregate number of Common Shares which the Debentureholder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Merger if, on the effective date thereof, the Debentureholder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which the Debentureholder would have acquired upon the conversion of the Debenture prior to the effective date of the Merger.
A-9 |
(5) In the case of any reclassification of, or other change in, the outstanding Common Shares (other than a change referred to in Sections 3.4(1), (2), (3) and (4) hereof), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the Board of Directors of the Borrower determines to be appropriate on a basis consistent with the intent of this Section 3.4(5); provided that if at any time a dispute arises with respect to adjustments provided for in this Article 3, such dispute will be conclusively determined by the auditors of the Borrower or if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such other firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by action by the directors of the Borrower, acting reasonably, and any such determination will be binding on the Borrower and the Debentureholder. The Borrower will provide such auditors or accountants with access to all necessary records of the Borrower. If and whenever at any time after the date hereof there is a reclassification or redesignation of the Common Shares outstanding at any time or change of the Common Shares into other shares or into other securities (other than as set out in Sections 3.4(1), (2), (3) and (4), or a consolidation, amalgamation or Merger of the Borrower with or into any other corporation or other entity (other than a consolidation, amalgamation or Merger which does not result in any reclassification or redesignation of the outstanding Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other shares and other than as set forth in Section 3.4(4), or a transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Borrower as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or other entity (any of such events being called a “Capital Reorganization”), the Debentureholder after the effective date of such Capital Reorganization, will be entitled to receive in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which the Debentureholder was theretofore entitled prior such Capital Reorganization, the aggregate number of shares, other securities or other property, if any, which the Debentureholder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the Debentureholder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which the Debentureholder would have received upon the conversion of the Debenture.
(6) In any case in which this Section 3.4(6) shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein, the Borrower may defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the Debentureholder before the occurrence of such event, the additional Common Shares issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event before giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Borrower shall deliver to the Debentureholder an appropriate instrument evidencing the Debentureholder’s right to receive such additional Common Shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment and the right to receive any distributions made on such additional Common Shares declared in favour of holders of record of Common Shares on and after the Issue Date or such later date as the Debentureholder would, but for the provisions of this Section 3.4(6), have become the holder of such additional Common Shares pursuant to Section 3.4(2).
(7) The adjustments provided for in this Section 3.4(7) are cumulative and shall apply to successive subdivisions, redivisions, reductions, combinations, consolidations, distributions, issues or other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this Section, provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Price then in effect; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 3.4(7) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
Section 3.5 No Requirement to Issue Fractional Common Shares
The Borrower shall not be required to issue fractional Common Shares upon the conversion of the Debenture pursuant to this Article 3. If any fractional interest in a Common Share, would, except for the provisions of this Section 3.5, be deliverable upon the conversion of any amount hereunder, the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole Common Share.
Section 3.6 Certificate as to Adjustment
The Borrower shall from time to time, immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in Section 3.4(2), deliver an officer’s certificate to the Debentureholder specifying the nature of the event requiring the same and the amount of the adjustment necessitated thereby and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Subject to the dispute resolution procedure in subsection 3.4(5), such certificate shall be binding and determinative of the adjustment to be made, absent manifest error.
Section 3.7 Shareholder of Record
For all purposes, on the Issue Date the Debentureholder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the Common Shares into which the Principal Amount and any accrued and unpaid interest of this Debenture (or a portion thereof) is converted in accordance with Sections 3.1 or 3.2.

Section 3.8 Agreement to Lock-Up
(1) The Debentureholder will not during the Lock-Up Period (a) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Shares received upon the conversion of this Debenture; or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Shares received upon the conversion of this Debenture, whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise.
(2) The provisions of Section 3.8(1) do not apply to transfers of Common Shares received upon the conversion of this Debenture (a) by will, other testamentary document or intestate succession to the legal representative, heir, beneficiary or an immediate family member of the Debentureholder; or (b) by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order or as required by a divorce settlement (provided, however, that such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value); or (c) with respect to Debentureholder that is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust or other entity, transfers to its shareholders, members, partners or trust beneficiaries as part of a distribution, or to any corporation, partnership or other entity that is its Affiliate (provided, however, that the transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the terms of this Section 3.8 prior to such transfer, and such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value).
(3) In order to enforce the Lock-Up Period, the Borrower may (a) impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Common Shares received upon conversion of this Debenture until the end of the Lock-Up Period and (b) stamp, imprint or notate the Common Shares received upon conversion of the Debenture with the following legend:
(a) | “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE, INCLUDING A LOCK-UP PERIOD, ALL AS SET FORTH IN CERTAIN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE RECORD OWNER OF THESE SHARES AND THE COMPANY, COPIES OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY.” |

By its acceptance hereof the Debentureholder acknowledges that this Debenture and the Common Shares issuable upon conversion hereof will be subject to certain resale restrictions under applicable securities laws, and the Debentureholder agrees to comply with all such restrictions and laws. The Debentureholder further acknowledges and agrees that all certificates representing securities issued will bear the legends substantially in the form set forth on the face page hereof, where required, as well as any legends required by all Applicable Securities Laws.

The parties hereby agree that concurrently herewith they shall enter into a registration rights agreement setting forth the registration obligations described in this Section 3.9 (“Registration Rights Agreement”). The Debentureholder acknowledges that the Borrower will be required to provide to the applicable securities regulatory authorities the identity and other personal information of the Debentureholder and its principals and the Debentureholder hereby agrees thereto.

Exhibit 10.2
UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE [FOUR MONTHS PLUS ONE DAY FROM THE ISSUE DATE], 2024.
NEITHER THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “U.S. SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY ACQUIRING SUCH SECURITIES, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF PERMEX PETROLEUM CORPORATION (THE “COMPANY”) THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO THE COMPANY; (B) FOLLOWING REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT; (C) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER, IF AVAILABLE, AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS; OR (D) IN A TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND, IN THE CASE OF PARAGRAPH (C) OR (D), THE SELLER FURNISHES TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OF RECOGNIZED STANDING IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO SUCH EFFECT. THE PRESENCE OF THIS LEGEND MAY IMPAIR THE ABILITY OF THE HOLDER HEREOF TO EFFECT “GOOD DELIVERY” OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ON A CANADIAN STOCK EXCHANGE.
COMMON SHARE PURCHASE WARRANT
PERMEX PETROLEUM CORPORATION
Warrant Shares: _________ | Issue Date: [●], 202[●] |
THIS COMMON SHARE PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, _____________ or its assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the Issue Date and prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the five year anniversary of the Issue Date (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Permex Petroleum Corporation, a British Columbia corporation (the “Company”), up to ______ common shares of the Company (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Common Shares” or the “Warrant Shares”). The purchase price of one Common Share under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b). This Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon its exercise have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or the securities laws of any state of the United States.
Section 1. Intentionally Deleted
Section 2. Exercise.
a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Issue Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed copy, submitted, delivered or mailed (including by facsimile or PDF copy submitted by email to the offices of the Company at #500 – 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 2X8, Canada, email: admin@permexpetroleum.com, or, if such address is changed after the date of issuance, the then current head office address of the Company, and received by the Company, in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix 1 (the “Notice of Exercise”) with the payment of the Exercise Price to follow. The Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) by wire transfer, bank draft or certified check drawn on a United States or Canada bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days (as defined below) of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within two (2) Trading Days of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Warrant Share under this Warrant shall be USD$4.08, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
c) Cashless Exercise. At any time after the Effective Date, this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = | as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the United States federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day; | |
(B) = | the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and | |
(X) = | the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise. |
If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Rule 144(d)(3)(ii) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).
“Principal Trading Market” means, (i) if the Holder elects to receive Warrant Shares upon an exercise of this Warrant pursuant to CDS or the Holder does make any election, the Trading Market relating to such exercise shall refer to the principal Trading Market in Canada, and (ii) if the Holder elects to receive Warrant Shares upon an exercise of this Warrant pursuant to DTC, the Trading Market relating to such exercise shall refer to the principal Trading Market in the United States. For the avoidance of doubt, the Principal Trading Market may change from time to time and the Holder may elect to receive its Warrant Shares for each exercise of the Warrant via CDS or DTC despite choosing a different settlement platform for prior exercises.
“Trading Day” means a day on which the Principal Trading Market is open for trading.
“Trading Market” means any of the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Shares is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the Canadian Securities Exchange, the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, or the New York Stock Exchange, OTCQB or OTCQX (or any successors to any of the foregoing).
“VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Shares are then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Principal Trading Market on which the Common Shares then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX and not the Principal Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Shares are not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Shares are then reported on the Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per Common Share so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a Common Share as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Subscribers of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

d) Mechanics of Exercise.
i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the applicable and fully complete Notice of Exercise and received payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price in cash by wire transfer in immediately available funds, the Company shall transmit by facsimile or electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Notice of Exercise to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”). Following the Effective Date (as defined below) or at any time if this Warrant does not contain any restrictive legends relating to securities laws of the United States, as long as the Company receives the Aggregate Exercise Price in immediately available funds by wire transfer on or before 1PM Eastern Time on the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Notice of Exercise has been delivered to the Company, then the Company agrees to deliver the Warrant Shares on or before the close of business on the earlier of (i) the third (3rd) Trading Day and (ii) the Standard Settlement Period, in each case following the delivery of the Notice of Exercise. In the event that the Company does not receive the Aggregate Exercise Price in immediately available funds by wire transfer on or before 1PM Eastern Time on the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Notice of Exercise has been delivered to the Company, if the Company receives the Aggregate Exercise Price on or before 1PM Eastern Time on the second (2nd) trading day following the delivery of the Notice of Exercise then the Company agrees to deliver the Warrant Shares on the fourth (4th) Trading Day following the delivery of the Notice of Exercise, OR if the Company receives the Aggregate Exercise Price on or before 1PM Eastern Time on the third (3rd) trading day following the delivery of the Notice of Exercise then the Company agrees to deliver the Warrant Shares on the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the delivery of the Notice of Exercise, OR if the Company receives the Aggregate Exercise Price on or before 1PM Eastern Time on the Fourth (4th) trading day following the delivery of the Notice of Exercise then the Company agrees to deliver the Warrant Shares on the sixth (6th) Trading Day following the delivery of the Notice of Exercise, (the “Share Delivery Date”). The Company shall, provided that (a) if the Transfer Agent is a participant in the depositary services of CDS Clearing and Depositary Services Inc. (or its nominee) (“CDS”) and the Holder elects to receive such Warrant Shares via CDS, then credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with CDS or (b) if the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and the Holder elects to receive such Warrant Shares via DTC, then credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system. Prior to the Effective Date, if and only if this Warrant contains a restrictive legend relating to the securities laws of the United States, the first Share Delivery Date for purposes of the foregoing shall commence on the seventh (7th) Trading Day following the delivery of the Notice of Exercise, and such Warrant Shares will be issued in certificated form directly by the Transfer Agent. The Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent and all fees and expenses with respect to the issuance of Warrant Shares via CDS or DTC, if any, including without limitation for same day processing. Solely for purposes of Regulation SHO of U.S. securities laws, upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record and beneficial owner of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s CDS or DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be. If the Company does not receive the Aggregate Exercise Price by 1PM Eastern Time within four (4) Trading Days from the date the Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, then the original Notice of Exercise will be cancelled and the Company will no longer be under an obligation to deliver shares pursuant to the Notice of Exercise. Subject to the terms hereof, the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination. While this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that its transfer agent (a) as long as any Common Shares trade in Canada, participates in CDS, and (b) as long as any Common Shares trade in the United States, participates in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program. In addition to the foregoing rights, if the Company fails to deliver the applicable number of Warrant Shares upon an exercise by the applicable Share Delivery Date, then the Holder shall have the right to rescind such exercise in whole or in part and retain and/or have the Company return, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Notice of Exercise, provided that the rescission of an exercise shall not affect the Company’s obligation to make any payments pursuant to this Section 2(d)(i). If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Share on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the third Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date) for each Trading Day after such Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the applicable Principal Trading Market with respect to the Common Shares as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Standard Settlement Period will not apply during the period in which the Canadian Securities Exchange, or such other Canadian stock exchange, remains the Company’s Principal Trading Market. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement registering the Warrant Shares with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and to seek effectiveness of such registration statement as soon as practicable after filing; the date that such registration statement is declared effective by the Commission is referred to herein as the “Effective Date.”

ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv. Legend. The Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants represented hereby shall bear legends substantially in the following form:
UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE [FOUR MONTHS PLUS ONE DAY FROM THE ISSUE DATE], 202[●].
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “U.S. SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY ACQUIRING SUCH SECURITIES, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PERMEX PETROLEUM CORPORATION (THE “COMPANY”) THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO THE COMPANY; (B) FOLLOWING REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT; (C) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER, IF AVAILABLE, AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS; OR (D) IN A TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND, IN THE CASE OF PARAGRAPH (C) OR (D), THE SELLER FURNISHES TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OF RECOGNIZED STANDING IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO SUCH EFFECT. THE PRESENCE OF THIS LEGEND MAY IMPAIR THE ABILITY OF THE HOLDER HEREOF TO EFFECT “GOOD DELIVERY” OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ON A CANADIAN STOCK EXCHANGE
provided, that the legend may be removed by delivery to the registrar and transfer agent and the Company of an opinion of counsel of recognized standing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such legend is no longer required under applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities Act or applicable securities laws of any state of the United States.

v. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Share Delivery Date (the “Exercise Failure”), and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of Common Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Common Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice, indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Common Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
vi. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.
vii. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Warrant Transfer Form, as attached hereto as Appendix 3, duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
viii. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, an “Affiliate” has the meaning given to such term under Rule 405 of the U.S. Securities Act, and the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Common Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Share Equivalents (as defined below)) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding Common Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of Common Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding Common Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% (or, upon the election by a Holder prior to the issuance of any Warrants, 9.99%) of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Common Shares upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant. “Common Share Equivalents” means any securities of the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Shares, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Shares.

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on its Common Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Common Shares(which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Common Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of Common Shares any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date thereof in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
b) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Share Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Common Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such Common Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
c) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Common Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any Common Shares as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). To the extent that this Warrant has not been partially or completely exercised at the time of such Distribution, such portion of the Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder has exercised this Warrant.

d) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company (or any Subsidiary), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Shares, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Common Shares or 50% or more of the voting power of the Common Shares (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of Common Shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Common Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to Common Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the Common Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall be added to the term “Company” under this Warrant (so that from and after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company herein.

e) [Reserved].
f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of Common Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
g) Notice to Holder.
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by mail, facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Shares, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Shares, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Shares is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by mail, facsimile or email to the Holder at its last address, facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice on SEDAR and via a Current Report on Form 8-K if applicable. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
h) Voluntary Adjustment By Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the applicable principal Trading Market in the United States, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant, subject to the prior written consent of the Holder, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, regulatory and legal requirements and approval by the Company, and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant, substantially in the form attached hereto as Appendix 2, duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
8 |
b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
d) Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) or 2(d)(v) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading Day.
d) Authorized Shares.
The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Shares a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any Trading Market upon which the Common Shares may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
9 |
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
e) Jurisdiction. This Warrant Certificate is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the laws of Canada applicable therein.
f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered and the Holder does not utilize a cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws in the United States of America and Canada.
g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
h) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Shares or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions
hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
n) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of
reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
