Upon the delivery of such replacement Warrant Certificate in accordance with this Section 3(f), the replaced Warrant Certificate shall be null and void and the Holder shall promptly deliver it to the Company.
(g) No fractional Warrant Shares or scrip shares representing fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant Certificate, and the Holder shall not be entitled to any cash payment or other compensation in lieu of any fraction of a Warrant Share that the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase, acquire, accept and receive upon such exercise.
(h) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Warrant shall be exercisable at any moment in time prior to the Expiry Date in an amount (which when aggregated with all prior exercises) does not exceed the full number of Ordinary Shares contemplated by this Warrant and which, when aggregated with all holdings of the Holder and the other Attribution Parties does not exceed 19.9% of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company (the “Maximum Percentage”); provided that the Maximum Percentage is applicable only to the extent the Ontario Securities Act or any comparable legislation in any province of Canada that the Company remains a reporting issuer under applies to the Company.

(d) the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts not to close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant Certificate, pursuant to the terms hereof; and

(a) Subject to Section 6(b), the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable to the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as expressly provided in the provisions of this Section 6 (in each case, after taking into consideration any prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 6); provided, however, that if more than one subsection of this Section 6 is applicable to a single event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment and no single event shall cause an adjustment under more than one subsection of this Section 6 so as to result in duplication.

-11-
(B) If at any time during the Adjustment Period any adjustment in the Exercise Price shall occur pursuant to this Section 6(a)(i) (any such adjustment, an “Exercise Price Change”), then the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the subsequent exercise of this Warrant Certificate shall be simultaneously adjusted so that it is equal to the product obtained by multiplying (I) the number of Ordinary Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Exercise Price Change by (II) a fraction of which (x) the numerator is the Exercise Price as in effect immediately prior to such Exercise Price Change and (y) the denominator is the Exercise Price as in effect immediately after such Exercise Price Change.

(A) The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes (which may be by operation of law) all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(a)(ii)(A), and the Successor Entity, if so requested by the Holder, shall deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the Ordinary Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction).
-12-
(B) Upon the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
(C) To the extent that the Holder’s right to receive any such shares of publicly traded ordinary shares (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity would result in the Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, if applicable, then the Holder shall not be entitled to receive such shares to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of publicly traded ordinary shares (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity as a result of such consideration to such extent) and the portion of such shares shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time or times, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be delivered such shares to the extent as if there had been no such limitation; provided that any Ordinary Shares held in abeyance at the Expiry Time shall be cancelled.
(D) Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the Ordinary Shares (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the publicly traded common stock or common shares (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, as adjusted in accordance with Section 6.
-13-
(E) In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for Ordinary Shares (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Corporate Event but prior to the Expiry Date, in lieu of the Ordinary Shares (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Corporate Event, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) (the “Alternate Consideration”) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the consummation of such Corporate Event had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Event. In determining the kind and amount of Alternate Consideration receivable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate following the consummation of such Corporate Event, if the holders of Ordinary Shares have the right to elect the kind or amount of consideration receivable upon consummation of such Corporate Event, then the Holder shall have the right to make a similar election upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate with respect to the number of shares of stock or other securities or property which the Holder will receive as Alternate Consideration upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate.
(b) In connection with any adjustments made pursuant to Section 6(a):
(i) subject to the other provisions of this Section 6(b), any adjustment made pursuant to Section 6(a) shall be made successively whenever an event referred to therein shall occur;
(ii) if the Company sets a record date to determine the Company Shareholders for the purpose of entitling such holders to receive any dividend or distribution or any purchase rights and shall thereafter and before the distribution to such holders of any such dividend, distribution or purchase rights legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution or purchase rights, then no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable under the Warrant Certificate shall be required by reason of the setting of such record date; and
(iii) in any case in which this Warrant Certificate shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to in Section 6(a), the Company (acting reasonably and in good faith) may defer, until the occurrence of such event: (A) issuing to the Holder, to the extent that this Warrant Certificate is exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event, the additional Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event; and (B) delivering to the Holder any distribution declared with respect to such additional Warrant Shares after such record date and before such event; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to the Holder an appropriate instrument evidencing the right of the Holder upon the occurrence of the event requiring the adjustment, to an adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate and to such distribution declared with respect to any such additional Warrant Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant Certificate.
-14-
(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 6 to the contrary, no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares into which this Warrant Certificate is exercisable shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than $0.01 or one-tenth (1/10th) of an Ordinary Share; provided, however, that the Company shall carry forward any adjustments that are less than $0.01 or one-tenth (1/10th) of an Ordinary Share; provided, further, that the Company shall make such carried forward adjustment, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than $0.01 or one-tenth (1/10th) of an Ordinary Share upon any exercise.
(d) Not later than the earlier of the record date or effective date of any event which requires or might require an adjustment in any of the rights of the Holder under this Warrant Certificate, including the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares which may be purchased, acquired, accepted and received under this Warrant Certificate, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice briefly stating the particulars of such event and, if determinable, the required adjustment and the calculation of such adjustment. In case any adjustment for which a notice in this Section 6(c) has been given is not then determinable, the Company shall promptly after such adjustment is determinable deliver to the Holder a notice setting forth the calculation of such adjustment.
Section 7. Investment Agreement; Not Transferable; Securities Laws and Legends.

To transfer the Warrant Certificate, the Holder must surrender this Warrant Certificate and deliver a properly completed and duly executed Transfer Form to the Company in accordance with Section 10 (or with a designated agent of the Company as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of such Holder appearing in the Warrant Register from time to time). Upon such surrender, the Company shall issue a new warrant certificate or certificates in the name of the transferee, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in the Transfer Form, and shall issue to the transferee a new warrant certificate evidencing the portion of this Warrant Certificate, if any, not so transferred, and this Warrant Certificate shall promptly be cancelled.

Section 13. Severability. If any provision of this Warrant Certificate is prohibited by Law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Warrant Certificate so long as this Warrant Certificate as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the Parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the Parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the Parties. The Parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
