4.	EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

(a)	Method of Exercise of Warrants

The right to purchase shares conferred by the Warrants may be exercised by the Holder surrendering the Warrant Certificate representing same, with a duly completed and executed subscription in the form attached hereto and a bank draft or certified cheque payable to the Company for the purchase price applicable at the time of surrender in respect of the shares subscribed for in lawful money of the United States of America, to the Company at the address set forth in, or from time to time specified by the Company pursuant to, Section 3 (a).

(b)	Effect of Exercise of Warrants

(i)

Upon surrender and payment as aforesaid the shares so subscribed for will be deemed to have been issued and such person or persons will be deemed to have become the Holder or Holders of record of such shares on the date of such surrender and payment, and such shares will be issued at the subscription price in effect on the date of such surrender and payment.

(ii)

Within ten business days after surrender and payment as aforesaid, the Company will forthwith cause to be delivered to the person or persons in whose name or names the shares so subscribed for are to be issued as specified in such subscription or mailed to him or them at his or their respective addresses specified in such subscription, a certificate or certificates for the appropriate number of shares not exceeding those which the Warrant Holder is entitled to purchase pursuant to the Warrant surrendered.

(c)	Subscription for Less Than Entitlement

The Holder of any Warrant may subscribe for and purchase a number of shares less than the number which he is entitled to purchase pursuant to the surrendered Warrant. In the event of any purchase of a number of shares less than the number which can be purchased pursuant to a Warrant, the Holder thereof upon exercise thereof will in addition be entitled to receive a new Warrant in respect of the balance of the shares which he was entitled to purchase pursuant to the surrendered Warrant and which were not then purchased.

(d)	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.

(e)	Expiration of Warrants

After the expiration of the period within which a Warrant is exercisable, all rights thereunder will wholly cease and terminate and such Warrant will be void and of no effect.

(f)	Time of Essence

Time will be of the essence hereof.

- 24 -

(g)	Subscription Price

Each Warrant is exercisable at the Exercise Price of US$0.25. One (1) Warrant and the Exercise Price are required to subscribe for each share during the term of the Warrants.

(h)	Adjustment of Exercise Price

(i)

The Exercise Price and the number of shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be subject to adjustment in the event and in the manner following:

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;

in 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 purchase the number of shares or other securities of the Company (or of the Company’s 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(i) relating to the rights and interest thereafter of the Holders of the Warrants so that the provisions of this Section 4(i) 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 clause.

(ii)

The adjustments provided for in this Section 4(i) 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.

(i)	Determination of Adjustments

If any questions will at any time arise with respect to the Exercise Price or any adjustment provided for in Section 4.8, 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 in the United States of America or chartered accountants in Canada 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.

5.	WAIVER OF CERTAIN RIGHTS

(a)	Immunity of Shareholders, etc.

The Warrant Holder, as part of the consideration for the issue of the Warrants, waives and will not have any right, cause of action or remedy now or hereafter existing in any jurisdiction against any past, present or future incorporator, shareholder, Director or officer (as such) of the Company for the issue of shares pursuant to any Warrant or on any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty by the Company herein contained or in the Warrant.

- 25 -

6.	MODIFICATION OF TERMS, ETC.

(a)	Modification of Terms and Conditions for Certain Purposes

From time to time the Company may, subject to the provisions of these presents, modify the Terms and Conditions hereof, for the purpose of correction or rectification of any ambiguities, defective provisions, errors or omissions herein.

(b)	Warrants Not Transferable

The Warrant and all rights attached to it are not transferable.
