Exercise of Warrants |
4.1 |
Method of Exercise of Warrants |
Subject to the Company’s Right of Call, the Warrant Holder may exercise its right to purchase the Warrant Shares at the Exercise Price at any time until the Time of Expiry by providing the Company with the following documents:
|
(a) |
a completed and executed Subscription Form, in the form attached as Appendix B hereto, for the number of Warrant Shares which the Holder wishes to purchase, in the manner therein indicated; |
|
(b) |
surrendering this Warrant Certificate, together with the executed Subscription Form, to the address set forth in Section 3.2; and |
- 4 -
|
(c) |
paying the appropriate Exercise Price, in Canadian funds, for the number of Warrant Shares subscribed for, either by cash, bank draft, certified cheque, money order or wire transfer or other immediately available funds in lawful money of Canada, payable to the Company in Vancouver, British Columbia at the address set forth in Section 3.2. |
4.2 |
Effect of Exercise of Warrants |
|
(a) |
On the date the Company receives a duly executed Subscription Form and the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Subscription Form (the “Exercise Date”), the Warrant Shares so subscribed for will be deemed to have been issued and such persons will be deemed to have become the Holder (or Holders) of record of such Warrant Shares on such date. |
|
(b) |
As promptly as practicable after the Exercise Date and, in any event, within ten business days of the Exercise Date, the Company shall forthwith cause to be delivered to the person or persons in whose name or names the Warrant Shares so subscribed for are to be issued as specified in such Subscription Form or couriered to him or them at his or their respective addresses specified in such Subscription Form, a certificate or certificates for the appropriate number of fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares not exceeding those which the Holder is entitled to purchase pursuant to the Warrant Certificate surrendered. |
4.3 |
Subscription for Less Than Entitlement |
The Holder of any Warrant may subscribe for and purchase a number of Warrant Shares less than the number which the Holder is entitled to purchase pursuant to the surrendered Warrant Certificate. In the event of any purchase of a number of Warrant Shares less than the number which can be purchased pursuant to the Warrant Certificate, the Holder, upon exercise thereof, shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant Certificate in respect of the balance of the Warrant Shares which the Holder was entitled to purchase pursuant to the surrendered Warrant Certificate and which were not then purchased.
4.4 |
Warrants for Fractions of Shares |
To the extent that the Holder of any Warrant is entitled to receive on the exercise or partial exercise thereof a fraction of a Share, such right may be exercised in respect of such fraction only in combination with another Warrant or other Warrants which in the aggregate entitle the Holder to receive a whole number of such Shares.
4.5 |
Expiration of Warrants |
After the expiration of the period within which a Warrant is exercisable, all rights thereunder shall wholly cease and terminate and such Warrants shall be void and of no further force and effect.
4.6 |
Adjustment of Exercise Price |
|
(a) |
The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be subject to adjustment in the event and in the manner following: |
|
(i) |
If and whenever the Shares at any time outstanding are subdivided into a greater or consolidated into a lesser number of Shares, the Exercise Price will be decreased or increased proportionately as the case may be. Upon any such subdivision or consolidation, the number of Shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be increased or decreased proportionately as the case may be. |
|
(ii) |
In the case of any capital reorganization or of any reclassification of the capital of the Company or in the case of the consolidation, merger or amalgamation of the Company with or into any other company (hereinafter collectively referred to as a “Reorganization”), each Warrant will after such Reorganization confer the right to |
- 5 -
purchase the number of Shares or other securities of the Company (or of the company resulting from such Reorganization) which the Warrant Holder would have been entitled to upon Reorganization if the Warrant Holder had been a shareholder at the time of such Reorganization.
In any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustments will be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 4.6 relating to the rights and interest thereafter of the Holders of the Warrants so that the provisions of this Section 4.6 will be made applicable as nearly as reasonably possible to any Shares or other securities deliverable after the Reorganization on the exercise of the Warrants.
The subdivision or consolidation of Shares at any time outstanding into a greater or lesser number of Shares (whether with or without par value) will not be deemed to be a Reorganization for the purposes of this Section 4.6(a)(ii).
|
(b) |
The adjustments provided for in this Section 4.6 are cumulative and will become effective immediately after the record date or, if no record date is fixed, the effective date of the event which results in such adjustments. |
4.7 |
Notice of Record Date |
|
(a) |
If at any time while this or any replacement Warrant Certificate is outstanding: |
|
(i) |
the Company proposes to pay any dividend of any kind upon its Shares or make any distribution to the holders of its Shares; |
|
(ii) |
the Company proposes to offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its Share any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights; |
|
(iii) |
the Company proposes any Reorganization; or |
|
(iv) |
there is a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, |
the Company shall give to the Warrant Holder at least seven days prior written notice (the “Notice”) of the date on which the books of the Company are to close or a record is to be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or for determining rights to vote with respect to such Reorganization, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.
|
(b) |
The Notice shall specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, the date on which holders of Shares will be entitled to exchange their Shares for securities or other property deliverable upon any Reorganization, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be. |
|
(c) |
Each Notice shall be delivered to the Warrant Holder at the address of the Warrant Holder set forth above or at such other address as the Warrant Holder may from time to time specify to the Company in writing. |
4.8 |
Determination of Adjustments |
If any questions will at any time arise with respect to the Exercise Price or any adjustment provided for in Section 4.6, such questions will be conclusively determined by the Company’s Auditors, or, if they decline to so act any other firm of certified public accountants registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board that the Company may designate and who will have access to all appropriate records and such determination will be binding upon the Company and the Holders of the Warrants.
