B. |
The Holder has experience and expertise in respect of the identification and evaluation of oil and gas exploration and development projects; |

In consideration of the Holder's efforts in identifying, evaluating and possibly delivering potential oil and gas exploration and development projects to the Company, the Company desires to issue to the Holder warrants to purchase common shares without par value in the capital of the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions herein set out. |
NOW THEREFORE THIS AGREEMENT witnesses that in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements herein set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
- 2 -
1. ISSUANCE OF THE WARRANTS
1.1 The Company hereby issues to the Holder ____________ warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase from the Company _____________ common shares without par value in the capital of the Company (the "Common Shares") at an exercise price of US$0.10 per Warrant. The Warrants and the Common Shares are collectively referred to in this Agreement as the "Securities".
2. WARRANT CERTIFICATES
2.1 The Company shall issue to the Holder a warrant certificate (the "Warrant Certificate") representing the Warrants in the form attached as Schedule "A" hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as required or permitted by this Agreement.
3. EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
3.1 Maturity. The Warrants shall only be exercisable by the Holder after the Holder delivers to the Company an oil or gas exploration or development project that has, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, an economic value to the Company of at least US$9,000,000 (at the time of delivery and without including any value for the Warrants) (an "Approved Project").
3.2 Cash Exercise. The Holder may effect a cash exercise of the Warrants by surrendering to the Company the Warrant Certificate, together with a Subscription in the form of Schedule "A" attached thereto, duly executed by the Holder, at any time prior to the Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined), at the Company's principal office, accompanied by payment in cash, by certified or official bank check or wire transfer payable to the order of the Company in the amount of the Exercise Price (as adjusted as hereinafter provided) multiplied by the number of Common Shares that are the subject of the Holder's Warrants (as adjusted as hereinafter provided) (the "Aggregate Price").
3.3 Cashless Exercise. The Holder may effect a cashless exercise of the Warrants by surrendering to the Company the Warrant Certificate, together with a duly executed Subscription in the form of Schedule "B" attached thereto, duly executed by the Holder, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, at the Company's principal office, in which case no payment of cash shall be required. Upon such cashless exercise, the number of Common Shares to be acquired by the Holder shall be the product of the number of Common Shares that are the subject of the Holder's Warrants multiplied by the amount, if any, by which the then Fair Value (as hereinafter defined) of the Common Shares exceeds the Exercise Price divided by the then per share Fair Value. The "Fair Value" shall mean the last reported sales price on the principal market on which the Common Shares are listed or quoted on the trading day immediately prior to the day on which the Holder notifies the Company of its exercise of the Warrants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is no last reported sales price on the trading day immediately prior to the day on which the Holder notifies the Company of its exercise of the Warrants on a cashless basis, then Fair Value shall be determined as of the latest day prior to such exercise day for which such last reported sales price is available, unless such securities have not been traded on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market for 30 or more days immediately prior to such exercise day, in which case the Fair Value shall be determined in good faith by the Company's board of directors and if the Holder fails to agree with such determination, an independent public accounting firm or a valuation firm of national standing selected and engaged by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company; provided, however, that in the event the determination by the accounting or valuation firm shall be more than 5% greater than the determination of the Company's board of directors, the expenses associated with such determination shall be borne by the Company.
3.4 Partial Exercise. The Warrants may also be exercised from time to time in part by surrendering the Warrant Certificate in the manner specified in Section 3.2, with appropriate adjustments to the Aggregate Price payable and the number of Common Shares to be received. Upon a partial exercise, the Company, at its expense, shall issue to the Holder a new Warrant Certificate for the number of Common Shares for which the Warrant Certificate shall not have been exercised, issued in the name of Holder.
- 3 -
3.5 Issuance of Certificates. Upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall issue certificates representing the Common Shares within five business days without charge to the Holder including, without limitation, any tax that may be payable in respect of the issuance thereof, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder.
3.6 Fractional Shares. In no event shall any fractional share of the Common Shares be issued upon any exercise of the Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Warrants as an entirety, the Holder would, except as provided in this Section 3.6, be entitled to receive a fractional share of the Common Shares, then the Company shall pay in lieu thereof, the Fair Value of such fractional share in cash.
3.7 Reserved Shares; Valid Issuance. The Company shall all times from and after the date hereof reserve and keep available such number of its Common Shares, free from all pre-emptive or similar rights therein, as shall be sufficient to permit the exercise of the Warrants in full into the Common Shares upon such exercise. The Company further covenants that such shares as may be issued pursuant to such exercise shall, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.
3.8 Expiration Date. The Warrants shall expire on the close of business on December 21, 2007 unless the Holder delivers an Approved Project which is accepted by the Company then the Warrants shall expire on the close of business on the date which is six months after the date of acceptance of the Approved Project (the "Expiration Date"), and shall be void thereafter.
4. EXERCISE PRICE ADJUSTMENTS
4.1 Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date of original issuance of the Warrants (the "Date of Original Issue") effect a subdivision or reverse stock split of the outstanding Common Shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and, conversely, the Exercise Price in effect immediately before the reverse stock split shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section 4.1 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the reverse stock split or subdivision becomes effective.
4.2 Adjustment for Common Share Dividends and Distributions. If the Company at any time or from time to time after the Date of Original Issue issues or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of the Common Shares entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable solely in additional Common Shares, the Exercise Price that is then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction: (a) the numerator of which is the total number of Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and (b) the denominator of which is the sum of the total number of Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of Common Shares issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that if such record date is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Exercise Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Exercise Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.2 to reflect the actual payment of such dividend or distribution.
4.3 Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. If the Company at any time or from time to time after the Date of Original Issue issues, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company other than Common Shares or in other property, in each such event provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon conversion hereof, in addition to the number of Common Shares receivable hereupon, the amount of securities of the Company or other property which such Holder would have received had the Warrants been exercised for Common Shares on the date of such event and had it thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the exercise date, retained such securities or other property receivable by it as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under this Section 4.3 with respect to the rights of the Holder or with respect to such other securities or other property by their terms. As used herein, the term "other property" does not include cash.
- 4 -
4.4 Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If at any time or from time to time after the Date of Original Issue, the Common Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Warrants is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or series of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets provided for elsewhere in this Section 4.4), then in any such event the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise the Warrants for the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of the number of Common Shares into which the Warrants could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof.
4.5 Adjustment for Reorganization, Merger or Consolidation. In case of any reorganization of the Company or consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another entity (other than a reorganization, consolidation or merger which does not result in any reclassification or change in the terms of the outstanding Common Shares), the entity formed by such reorganization, consolidation or merger shall execute and deliver to the Holder a supplemental agreement to this Agreement providing that the Holder shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of such the Warrants) to receive, upon exercise of such Warrants, the kind and amount of securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, consolidation or merger, by a holder of the number of Common Shares for which such Warrants might have been exercised immediately prior to such reorganization, consolidation or merger. Such supplemental agreement shall provide for adjustments which shall be identical to the adjustments provided in this Section 4.5 and such other rights of the Common Shares as provided in the Company’s Articles, as amended from time to time. The Company shall not effect any such reorganization, consolidation or merger unless, prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other than the Company) resulting from such reorganization, consolidation or merger shall assume, by written instrument executed and delivered to the Holder, the obligation to deliver to the Holder, such shares of stock, securities, or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to purchase, and to perform the other obligations of the Company under this Agreement. The above provisions of this Section 4.5 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations or mergers.
4.6 Certificate of Adjustment. In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price for the number of Common Shares or other securities issuable upon conversion of the Warrants, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause its Secretary or Treasurer to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and prepare a certificate showing such adjustment or readjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder at the Holder’s address as shown on page 10 hereof, or such other address as the Holder may designate by Notice to the Company. The certificate shall set forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required to be made unless it would result in an increase or decrease of at least one cent, but any adjustments not made because of this sentence shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment otherwise required hereunder.
4.7 Notices of Record Date. Upon: (i) the establishment by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution; or (ii) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the share capital of the Company, any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other company, or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to any other person or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, the Company shall mail to the Holder at least 20 days prior to the record date specified therein a notice specifying: (A) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and a description of such dividend or distribution, (B) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and (C) the date, if any, that is to be fixed as to when the holders of record of Common Shares (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares (or other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

5.2 Lost Warrants. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant Certificate, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of the Warrants, if mutilated, the Company shall make and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor, in lieu thereof.
