However, if the common shares of the Company trade at or over an average price of US$0.18 per share for a 20 trading-day continuous period, the average price being weighted by the number of shares traded, then, upon written notice (mailed, faxed or emailed) to the Purchaser by the Company, the Purchaser shall be required to exercise the Warrants within 30 days of the date of that notice, after which the Warrants will expire. For greater certainty, the 20 day average trading price of the Company’s common shares on its primary market, the OTC-Bulletin Board, shall be calculated by dividing the total value by the total volume of common shares traded on the OTC-BB for any 20 continuous trading days.
