This

Agreement”), and the following provisions, terms and conditions:
1.

This
warrant certificate (the “Warrant”) is issued to the Warrantholder pursuant to
the Agency Agreement to purchase up to __________ Shares at the Exercise Price
of $1.10 per Share.
2.

Exercise
of Warrant
|
(a)
|
Election
to Purchase.
This Warrant may be exercised by the Warrantholder prior to the Time
of
Expiry in whole or in part and in accordance with the provisions
hereof by
delivery of an Election to Purchase in a form substantially the same
as
that attached hereto as Annex “A”, properly completed and executed,
together with this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price multiplied
by
the number of Shares specified in the Election to Purchase to the
Corporation at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, Xxx
Xxxxxx
00000, X.X.X., Attention: Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, or such other address
as may
be notified in writing by the Corporation. Payment shall be made
in U.S.
dollars by certified or bank cashier’s cheque payable to the order of the
Corporation.
|
(b)
|
Exercise.
The Corporation shall, promptly following the date it receives a
duly
executed Election to Purchase, this Warrant and payment of the Exercise
Price for the number of Shares specified in the Election to Purchase
(the
“Exercise Date”), issue or cause to be issued that number of Shares
specified in the Election to Purchase as fully paid and non-assessable
Shares. Such duly executed Election to Purchase shall constitute
the
Warrantholder's acknowledgement of and undertaking to comply to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation and its counsel, with
all
applicable laws, rules, regulations and policies of every stock exchange
upon which the Shares of the Corporation may from time to time be
listed
or traded, and any other applicable governmental or regulatory
authorities.
|
(c)
|
Share
Certificates.
As promptly as practicable after the Exercise Date (and in any event
not
later than 10 days after the Exercise Date), the Corporation shall
send to
the Warrantholder, registered in such name or names as the Warrantholder
may direct or if no such direction has been given, in the name of
the
Warrantholder, a certificate or certificates for the number of Shares
specified in the Election to Purchase. To the extent permitted by
law,
such exercise shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close
of
business on the Exercise Date, and at such time the rights of the
Warrantholder with respect to the portion of the Warrant exercised
shall
cease, and the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate
or
certificates for Shares shall then be issuable upon such exercise
shall be
deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Shares
represented thereby.
|
-2-
(d) |
Fractional
Shares.
No fractional Shares shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant
and no
payments or adjustment shall be made upon any exercise on account
of any
cash dividends on the Shares issued upon such exercise. If any fractional
interest in a Share would, except for the provisions of the first
sentence
of this subsection 2(d), be deliverable upon the exercise of this
Warrant,
the number of Shares to be issued to the Warrantholder upon the exercise
of this Warrant shall be rounded to the nearest whole
number.
|
(e)
|
Subscription
for Less than Entitlement.
The Warrantholder may from time to time subscribe for and purchase
a
number of Shares less than the aggregate number which the holder
is
entitled to purchase pursuant to this Warrant. In the event of a
purchase
of a number of Shares less than the aggregate number which may be
purchased pursuant to this Warrant, the holder thereof shall be entitled
to receive, without charge, a new Warrant certificate in respect
of the
balance of the Shares subject to this Warrant which were not purchased
by
the Warrantholder.
|
(f)
|
Corporate
Changes.
If the Corporation shall be a party to any reorganization, merger,
dissolution or sale of all or substantially all of its assets (the
“Event”), (other than a reorganization or merger in which the Corporation
is the surviving entity) then the securities purchasable hereunder
shall
be the securities (the “Event Securities”) which the Warrantholder would
have received or been entitled to receive in such Event if such
Warrantholder had fully exercised this Warrant prior to the record
date
(or if there was no record date, then prior to the effective date)
of such
Event, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to be the amount
determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior
to the Event by the number of Shares as to which this Warrant was
unexercised immediately prior to the Event, and dividing the product
thereof by the number of Event Securities; provided however, that
the
Event shall not be carried into effect unless all necessary steps
have
been taken to ensure that any surviving entity is subject to the
terms of
this Warrant as adjusted.
|
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the immediately preceding paragraph,
in
the event of a transaction contemplated by such paragraph in which the surviving
or purchasing corporation demands that all outstanding Warrants be extinguished
prior to the closing date of the contemplated transaction, the Corporation
shall
give prior notice (the “Merger Notice”) thereof to the Warrantholders advising
them of such transaction. The Warrantholders shall have 10 days after the date
of the Merger Notice to elect to (i) exercise the Warrants in the manner
provided herein, or (ii) receive from the surviving or purchasing corporation
the same consideration receivable by a holder of the number of Shares for which
this Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation,
merger, sale, or purchase reduced by such amount of the consideration as has
a
market value equal to the Exercise Price, as determined by the board of
directors of the Corporation in accordance with the terms of the Warrants.
If
any Warrantholder fails to timely notify the Corporation of its election, the
Warrantholder shall be deemed for all purposes to have elected the option set
forth in (ii) above. Any amounts receivable by a Warrantholder who
has
-3-
elected
the option set forth in (ii) above shall be payable at the same time as amounts
payable to stockholders in connection with any such transaction.
(g)
|
Subdivision
or Consolidation of Shares
|
(i)
|
In
the event the Corporation shall subdivide its outstanding Shares
into a
greater number of Shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior
to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely,
in
the event the outstanding Shares of the Corporation shall be consolidated
into a smaller number of Shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such consolidation shall be proportionately
increased.
|
(ii)
|
Upon
each adjustment of the Exercise Price as provided herein, the
Warrantholder shall thereafter be entitled to acquire, at the Exercise
Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of Shares (calculated
to
the nearest tenth of a Share) obtained by multiplying the Exercise
Price
in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Shares
which may be acquired hereunder immediately prior to such adjustment
and
dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from
such
adjustment.
|
(h)
|
Change
or Reclassification of Shares.
In the event the Corporation shall change or reclassify its outstanding
Shares into a different class of securities, this Warrant shall be
adjusted as follows so as to apply to the successor class of
securities:
|
(i)
|
the
number and kind of the successor class of securities which the
Warrantholder shall be entitled to acquire shall be the aggregate
number
and kind of securities which, if this Warrant had been exercised
immediately prior to such change or reclassification, the Warrantholder
would have been entitled to receive by reason of such change or
reclassification; and
|
(ii)
|
the
Exercise Price shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price
in
effect immediately prior to the change or reclassification by the
number
of Shares as to which this Warrant was unexercised immediately prior
to
the change or reclassification, and dividing the product thereof
by the
number of the successor class of securities determined in paragraph
2(h)(i) hereof.
|
(i)
|
Distribution
to Shareholders.
If and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry the Corporation
shall fix a record date or if a date is otherwise established (any
such
date being hereinafter referred to in this subsection 2(i) as the
“record
date”) for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all or
substantially all the holders of the outstanding Shares of the Corporation
entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 45 days after
such
record date, to subscribe for or purchase Shares of the Corporation
or
securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares at a price
per
share or, as the case may be, having a conversion or exchange
price
|
-4-
per
share
less than 95% of the Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) on such record
date, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date
so
that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price
in
effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the
total number of Shares outstanding on such record date plus a number equal
to
the number arrived at by dividing the aggregate price of the total number of
additional Shares offered for subscription or purchase or, as the case may
be,
the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable
securities so offered by the Fair Market Value, and of which the denominator
shall be the total number of Shares outstanding on such record date plus the
total number of additional Shares so offered (or into which the convertible
or
exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable); Shares
owned by or held for the account of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the
Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such
computation; such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record
date is fixed; to the extent that any rights or warrants are not so issued
or
any such rights or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof,
the Exercise Price shall then be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would
then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Exercise
Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Shares or
conversion or exchange rights contained in convertible or exchangeable
securities actually issued upon the exercise of such rights or warrants, as
the
case may be.
(j)
|
Additional
Subscriptions.
If at any time the Corporation grants to its shareholders the right
to
subscribe for and purchase pro rata additional securities of the
Corporation (other than securities described in subsection (2)(i)
hereof)
or of any other corporation or entity, there shall be no adjustments
made
to the number of Shares or other securities subject to this Warrant
or to
the Exercise Price in consequence thereof and this Warrant shall
remain
unaffected.
|
(k)
|
Carry
Over of Adjustments.
No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made if the amount of
such
adjustment shall be less than 1% of the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the event giving rise to the adjustment, provided
however, that in such case any adjustment that would otherwise be
required
then to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the
time of
and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together
with any
adjustment so carried forward, shall amount to at least 1% of the
Exercise
Price in effect prior to such
adjustment.
|
(l)
|
Notice
of Adjustment.
Upon any adjustment of the number of Shares and upon any adjustment
of the
Exercise Price, then and in each such case the Corporation shall
give
written notice thereof to the Warrantholder, which notice shall state
the
Exercise Price and the number of Shares or other securities into
which
each Warrant is exercisable resulting from such adjustment, and shall
set
forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts
upon
which such calculation is based. Upon the request of a Warrantholder
there
shall be transmitted promptly to all Warrantholders a statement prepared
by the firm of
|
-5-
independent
certified public accountants retained to audit the financial statements of
the
Corporation to the effect that such firm concurs in the Corporation's
calculation of the change.
(m)
|
Other
Notices.
If at any time:
|
(i)
|
the
Corporation shall declare any dividend upon its
Shares;
|
(ii)
|
the
Corporation shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders
of its
Shares any additional shares of any class or other
rights;
|
(iii)
|
there
shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital
stock of the Corporation, or consolidation, amalgamation or merger
of the
Corporation with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets
to,
another corporation; or
|
(iv)
|
there
shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up
of the Corporation,
|
then,
in
any one or more of such cases, the Corporation shall give to the Warrantholder
(A) at least 20 days' prior written notice of the date on which a record shall
be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or for
determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, sale, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up and (B) in the case of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up, at least 20 days' prior written notice of the date when the same
shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause shall
also
specify (1) in the case of any such dividend, distribution or subscription
rights, the date on which the holders of Shares shall be entitled thereto,
and
(2) in the case of any transaction described in the foregoing clauses (iii)
and
(iv), the date on which the holders of Shares are to be entitled to exchange
their Shares for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, sale,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be.
(n)
|
Shares
to be Reserved.
The Corporation will at all times keep available and reserve out
of its
authorized Shares, solely for the purpose of issue upon the exercise
of
this Warrant, such number of Shares as shall then be issuable upon
the
exercise of this Warrant. The Corporation covenants and agrees that
all
Shares which shall be so issuable will, upon issuance, be duly authorized
and issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Corporation will take
all
such action as may be necessary to assure that all such Shares may
be so
issued without violation of any applicable requirements of any stock
exchange upon which the Shares of the Corporation may be listed or
in
respect of which the Shares are qualified for unlisted trading privileges.
The Corporation will take all such action as is
within
|
-6-
its
power
to assure that all such Shares may be so issued without violation of any
applicable law.
(o)
|
Issue
Tax.
The issuance of certificates for Shares upon the exercise of this
Warrant
shall be made without charge to the Warrantholder for any issuance
tax in
respect thereto, provided that the Corporation shall not be required
to
pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved
in
the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than
that of
the Warrantholder.
|
(p)
|
Fair
Market Value.
For the purposes of any computation hereunder, unless otherwise specified,
the “Fair Market Value” at any date shall be: (i) if the Shares are listed
on a stock exchange or quoted on a similar securities market, the
weighted
average sale price per share for the Shares for any 20 consecutive
trading
days (selected by the Corporation) commencing not more than 25 trading
days before such date on the principal stock exchange or similar
securities market upon which the Shares are listed or quoted, as
the case
may be; or (ii) if the computation is being made in connection with
a
public offering of Shares, the gross distribution price per Share
under
the offering; or (iii) in all other cases, the Fair Market Value
shall be
determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, which determination
shall be conclusive. The weighted average sale price shall be determined
by dividing the aggregate sale price of all Shares sold on the said
exchange or market during the said 20 consecutive trading days by
the
total number of Shares so sold.
|
(q)
|
The
Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to a
stop
transfer order and the certificate or certificates evidencing such
Shares
shall bear the following legend:
