be issued upon the exercise of rights represented by this Warrant will, upon
exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant and full payment of the
Exercise Price, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the
issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring
contemporaneously with such issue).
3.
Exercise of Warrant. (a) Except as provided in paragraph 10 herein, exercise of
the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made at any time or
times, before the close of business on November 30, 2004, (the “Termination
Date”), or such earlier date on which this Warrant may terminate as
provided in this Warrant, by the surrender of this Warrant and the Notice of
Exercise Form annexed hereto duly executed, at the office of the Issuer (or such
other office or agency of the Issuer as the Issuer may designate by notice in

225
|
(b) |
|
Within
seven (7) days of exercise of this Warrant as above provided, and together with
the delivery of the certificates for the number of Common Shares so purchased,
the Issuer shall issue to the Purchaser a like number of further warrants, (the
“B Warrants”), identical in form and content as this Warrant, save
and except for the following: |
|
|
(i) |
|
the
purchase price pursuant to such B Warrant shall be $1.50 U.S. per share; |
|
|
(ii) |
|
the

5.
Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Common Shares upon the
exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the holder hereof for
any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance
of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the
Issuer, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the holder of this
Warrant or in such name or names as may be directed by the holder of this
Warrant; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Common Shares are
to be issued in a name other than the name of the holder of this Warrant, this
Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by a form of
assignment acceptable to Issuer and attached hereto duly executed by the holder
hereof; and provided further, that upon any transfer involved in the issuance or
delivery of any certificates for Common Shares, the Issuer may require, as a

time in excess of seven (7) trading days per year.

holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the
Issuer prior to the exercise hereof, including payment therefore. Upon the
surrender of this Warrant and the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price, the
Warrant Shares so purchased shall be, and be deemed to be, issued to such holder
as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the later of
the date of such surrender or payment.

No Assignment or Transfer of Warrant. This Warrant is not transferable and may
not be assigned by the Purchaser in any manner.

warrants that upon receipt by the Issuer of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any
certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or
destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon
reimbursement to the Issuer of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and
upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or certificate, if mutilated,
the Issuer will make and deliver a new Warrant or certificate of like tenor and
dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or certificate.
10.
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 be
a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in the Province of Ontario, Canada, then
such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding
day that is not Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in the Province of Ontario.
11.
Effect of Certain Events.
|
(a) |
|
If
at any time the Issuer proposes (i) to sell or otherwise convey all or
substantially all of its assets, or (ii) to effect a transaction (by merger or
otherwise) in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Issuer is disposed
of (collectively, a “Sale or Merger Transaction”), in which the
consideration to be received by the Issuer or its shareholders consists solely
of cash, then the Warrant shall terminate if the Warrant has not been exercised
by the effective date of such Sale or Merger Transaction, provided that the
Issuer shall give the holder of this Warrant thirty (30) days prior written
notice of such termination and of the proposed effective date of the Sale or
Merger Transaction. |
|
(b) |
|
If
at any time the Issuer proposes (i) to sell or otherwise convey all or
substantially all its assets, or (ii) to effect a transaction (by merger or
otherwise) in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Issuer is disposed
of (collectively, a “Sale or Merger Transaction”), in which the
consideration to be received by the Issuer or its shareholders consists solely
of cash, then the Warrant shall terminate if the Warrant has not been exercised
by the effective date of such Sale or Merger Transaction. |
|
(c) |
|
In
case the Issuer shall at any time effect a Sale or Merger Transaction in which
the consideration to be received by the Issuer or its shareholders consists in
part of consideration other than cash, the holder of this Warrant shall have
the right thereafter to purchase, by exercise of this Warrant and payment of
the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Sale or Merger
Transaction, the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property
which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening
of such Sale or Merger Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately
prior thereto. |
227
12.
Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The number and kind
of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise
Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this
paragraph 12 below. In case the Issuer shall (i) declare or pay a dividend in
common Shares or make a distribution in Common Shares to holders of its
outstanding Common Shares, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Common Shares, (iii)
combine its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares or
(iv) issue any Common Shares in a reclassification of its common stock, then the
number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately
prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the holder of this Warrant shall be
entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of
the Issuer which he would have owned or have been entitled to receive had such
Warrant been exercised in advance thereof. Upon each such adjustment of the kind
and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Issuer which are
purchasable hereunder, the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled
to purchase the number of Warrant Shares or other securities resulting from such
adjustment at an Exercise Price per such Warrant Share or other security
obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant hereto
immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing by the number of Warrant
Shares or other securities of the Issuer resulting from such adjustment. An
adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph 12 shall become effective immediately
after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any,
for such event.
13.
Voluntary Adjustment by the Issuer. The Issuer may at any time during the term
of this Warrant, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for
any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Issuer.
14.
Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or number or kind of
securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant or
the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Issuer shall promptly
mail by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the holder of
this Warrant notice of such adjustment or adjustments setting forth the number
of Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the
exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares (and
other securities or property) after such adjustment, setting forth a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the
computation by which such adjustment was made. Such notice, in absence of
manifest error, shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such
adjustment.
15.
Authorized Shares. The Issuer covenants that during the period the Warrant is
outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock 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 Issuer further
covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to
its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to
execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Issuer will take all
such reasonable action as September 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 the Nasdaq Small Cap Stock Market or
any domestic securities exchange upon which the Common Shares may be listed.
228
16.
Transfer Restrictions Regarding Common Shares Underlying the Warrant. The
certificate or certificates representing the Common Shares to be issued at any
time prior to forty-one (41) days after the issuance of the Warrant, upon
exercise of any part or all of this Warrant, shall be subject to the following
legend restricting transfer under the 1933 Act, such legend to be substantially
as follows:
|
“THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER REGULATION S PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.

OF REGULATION S PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM.” |
|
Any time
forty one (41) days after the issuance of the Warrant the holder of the restricted Common
Shares makes the certification, pursuant to the
attached Regulation S Notice, that such holder has complied with all of the requirements
of Regulation S and such other requirements as set forth therein, then the Issuer shall
cause the Transfer Agent, at the Issuer’s sole expense, to deliver the underlying
Common Shares (the “Underlying Shares”) upon such conversion without a
restrictive legend or stop transfer instructions; otherwise the Underlying Shares shall be
considered restricted securities and certificates representing such shares shall contain
restrictive legends and stop transfer instructions will be placed with the Issuer’s
Transfer Agent regarding such shares. There shall be no restrictive legend on the
Underlying Shares in the event the Warrant is exercised forty-one (41) days after the
issuance of this Warrant.
