If Sub wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Sub shall give the Company written notice, specifying (i) the number of Shares owned by Sub, (ii) a place and a time for the closing of such purchase and (iii) the manner in which Sub intends to pay the applicable purchase price. The Company shall, as soon as practicable following receipt of such notice, deliver written notice to Sub specifying, based on the information provided by Sub in its notice, the number of Top-Up Shares.

(c) The aggregate purchase price payable for the Top-Up Shares may be paid, at Sub’s option, (i) in cash, (ii) by executing and delivering to the Company a promissory note having a principal amount equal to the balance of the remaining aggregate purchase price, or (iii) a combination thereof, provided that Sub shall use cash for at least the aggregate par value of the Top-Up Shares. The Company Board has approved such consideration for the Top-Up Shares. Any such promissory note shall include the following terms: (1) the maturity date shall be one (1) year after issuance, (2) the unpaid principal amount of the promissory note shall accrue simple interest at a per annum rate of 3.00% and (3) the promissory note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, without penalty or prior notice.
(d) Parent and Sub acknowledge that the Shares that Sub may acquire upon exercise of the Top-Up Option shall not be registered under the Securities Act and shall be issued in reliance upon an exemption for transactions not involving a public offering. Sub agrees that the Top-Up Option, and the Top-Up Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Top-Up Option, if any, are being and shall be acquired by Sub for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof (within the meaning of the Securities Act).

(i) To the extent the option is exercised for vested Option Shares, execute and deliver to the Corporation a Notice of Exercise for the Option Shares for which the option is exercised.

(d) In no event may this option be exercised for any fractional shares.
Exchange Option (a) The Board of Directors may, at its sole option and without seeking the approval of holders of Voting Shares or Rights but with the prior written consent of the Exchange if the Common Shares are then listed on such exchange, at any time after a Flip-in Event has occurred, authorize the Company to issue or deliver in respect of each Right which is not void pursuant to Subsection 3.1(b), either: (i) in return for the applicable Exercise Price and the Right, debt, equity or other securities or assets (or a combination thereof) having a value equal to twice the applicable Exercise Price; or (ii) in return for the Right, subject to any amounts that may be required to be paid under applicable law, debt, equity or other securities or assets (or a combination thereof) having a value equal to the value of the Right, in full and final settlement of all rights attaching to the Rights, where in either case the value of such debt, equity or other securities or other assets (or a combination thereof) and, in the case of Clause 3.2(a)(ii), the value of the Right, shall be determined by the Board of Directors which may rely upon the advice of a nationally or internationally recognized firm of investment dealers or investment bankers selected by the Board of Directors.
(b) If the Board of Directors authorizes the exchange of debt or equity securities or assets (or a combination thereof) for Rights pursuant to Subsection 3.2(a), without any further action or notice, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate and the only right thereafter of a holder of Rights shall be to receive the debt or equity securities or assets (or a combination thereof) in accordance with the exchange formula authorized by the Board of Directors. Within 10 Business Days after the Board of Directors has authorized the exchange of debt or equity securities or assets (or a combination thereof) for Rights pursuant to Subsection 3.2(a), the Company shall give notice of exchange to the holders of such Rights by mailing such notice to all such holders at their last addresses as they appear upon the register of Rights holders maintained by the Rights Agent. Each such notice of exchange will state the method by which the exchange of debt or equity securities or assets (or a combination thereof) for Rights will be effected.

(d) The Company may give a Call Notice in connection with up to 50% of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant provided the closing bid price of the Common Stock as reported by the Principal Market as defined in the Subscription Agreement, for each trading day during the thirty days prior to the giving of the Call Notice ("Lookback Period") is 200% of the Purchase Price and the average daily trading volume of the Common Stock during the Lookback Period is not less than 100,000 Common Shares. Subject to the other limitations set forth herein, the maximum amount of Warrant Shares for which Call Notices may be given during any thirty day period shall be equal to 10% of the aggregate reported trading volume of the Common Stock during the Lookback Period.

The option granted hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to time in whole or in part upon notice by the Representatives to the Company, which notice may be given at any time within 30 days from the date of this Agreement.

Any Shares not purchased by the Company hereunder shall no longer be subject to the provisions of this Section 15.
