(iii)

the exercise of all outstanding Warrants would not result in the imposition on the Warrantholder of restrictions in trading the Common Shares or the imposition on the Company of any reporting requirement, where such trading restrictions or reporting requirement were not in effect prior to the full exercise of the Warrants;

then the Company may at any time thereafter accelerate the Expiration Date of this Warrant to any date not less than twenty-one (21) Exchange Business Days after the date on which written notice to the Warrantholder of such acceleration (the “Acceleration Notice”) has become effective pursuant to Section 17 hereof (the “Accelerated Expiration Date”). With respect to Section 6(a)(iv), the Warrantholder shall notify the Company in writing within fourteen (14) Exchange Business Days of its receipt of an Acceleration Notice of whether or not full exercise of the Warrants would result in the imposition on the Warrantholder of restrictions in the trading of the Common Shares not in effect prior to such full exercise, in which case the Acceleration Notice shall be deemed to be withdrawn and of no effect, and the Expiration Date shall remain the original Expiration Date.

(b)

Exercise Prior to Accelerated Expiration Date.

Upon the happening of any event requiring an adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Company shall forthwith give written notice thereof to the Warrantholder pursuant to the provisions of Section 17 hereof, stating the adjusted Exercise Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares resulting from such event and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. In the event of a dispute with respect to any such calculation, the adjusted Exercise Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares resulting from such event shall be Determined by an Expert. At the Warrantholder’s request, the Company shall deliver to the Warrantholder as of a requested date a notice specifying the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable as of such date.

21. Replacement Warrants. The Company agrees that within ten (10) Business Days after any request from time to time of the Warrantholder, it shall deliver to such holder a new Warrant in substitution of this Warrant which is identical in all respects except that the then Exercise Price shall be appropriately specified in the Warrant, and the Warrant shall specify the fixed number of Warrant Shares into which this Warrant is then exercisable. Such changes are intended not as amendments to the Warrant but only as clarification of the foregoing numbers for convenience purposes, and such changes shall not affect any provisions concerning adjustments to the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares contained herein.

22. Absolute Obligation to Issue Warrant Shares. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the holder hereof to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or

termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the holder hereof or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the holder hereof in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares.
