4. |
EFFECT OF EXERCISE OF WARRANTS |
4.1 Subject to applicable securities laws, upon exercise of any Warrants and payment of the applicable exercise price, the Warrant Shares so subscribed for will be deemed to have been issued and the Consultant will be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares on the date of such exercise and payment.

5. |
ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES |
5.1 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:
(a) If and whenever the common shares of the Company 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; and upon any such subdivision or consolidation the number of Warrant Shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be increased or decreased proportionately as the case may be.

D/AZS/684796.1
- 3 - |
(c) In any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustments will be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5 relating to the rights and interest thereafter of the Consultant, as the holder of the Warrants, so that the provisions of this Section 5 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.
(d) 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 5.
(e) The adjustments provided for in this Section 5 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.
5.2 If any questions will at any time arise with respect to the exercise price or any adjustment provided for in Section 5.1, 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 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 holder of the Warrants.
6. |
