(b) In the event of a Dispute, either party may deliver a notice to the other party, which notice shall identify the nature of such Dispute and the provisions of this Agreement, if any, upon which the delivering party intends to rely.
(c) For a period of fifteen (15) Business Days following delivery of the notice contemplated in Section 8.1(b), the parties shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable efforts to attempt to settle the Dispute.
(d) Subject to Section 8.1(d)(x), and unless otherwise expressly agreed by the parties in writing, any Dispute that is not resolved pursuant to Section 8.1(b) shall be resolved by way of binding arbitration as follows:
(i) The arbitration is to be held in Vancouver, Canada.
(ii) The arbitration and all claims and defences advanced therein shall be governed by the substantive and procedural laws of British Columbia.
(iii) Either party may commence the arbitration by delivering a notice of arbitration, identifying the matters in dispute and the relief being sought.

Within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of a notice of arbitration, the parties shall each deliver the names of three arbitrators whom they are willing to appoint as the arbitrator for the Dispute. The parties shall then attempt in good faith to agree on an arbitrator. If the parties have not agreed on an arbitrator within ten (10) Business Days of the delivery of a notice of arbitration, each of the parties to the Dispute shall identify an unaffiliated person within a further ten (10) Business Days, and the two unaffiliated persons shall jointly select an arbitrator within a further ten (10) Business Days. In the event this process fails to result in the appointment of an arbitrator, either party may apply to the British Columbia Supreme Court (the “Court”) to have an arbitrator appointed.

In making such determinations, the arbitrator shall have due regard to the importance of conducting a hearing on the merits at the earliest time that is reasonably possible.

(vii) All fees and expenses of the arbitration will be borne by the parties equally. However, each party will bear the expense of its own counsel, experts, witnesses, and preparation and presentation of proofs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitrator
SEDAR+ Version
will be entitled to make an award of costs at the conclusions of the hearing, including the fees of counsels and arbitrators.
(viii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 8.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement, each of the parties is free to seek interim or interlocutory injunctive relief from the Court if: (i) no arbitrator has yet been appointed; and (ii) the party seeking such injunctive relief is at risk of suffering irreparable harm if required to wait for the appointment of an arbitrator before seeking such injunctive relief. Any injunctive relief granted by the Court will remain in place only until such time as an arbitrator appointed pursuant to this Section 8.1 determines can hear the motion for injunctive relief, at which time the injunction granted by the Court will dissolve and the arbitrator will be free to determine the appropriate relief as if it were a matter of first instance.
(ix) The parties shall keep in strict confidence the existence of any arbitration, the subject matter of any arbitration, the evidence and arguments adduced in any arbitration and the existence or contents of any award issued in any arbitration, subject to the disclosure requirements under Applicable Securities Laws.

(c) if the Company has announced a Change of Control that has not been completed or an Event of Default has occurred and has not been remedied by the Company or waived by the Holder, the Holder shall have the right, exercisable in the Holder's sole discretion at any time prior to the Maturity Date to: (i) convert up to 80% of the Outstanding Principal into Conversion Shares at the Conversion Price and require the Company to immediately redeem in cash 20% of the Outstanding Principal, by delivering a Conversion Notice to the Company (subject to the restrictions on conversion set out in Section 3.5.2 of the Subscription Agreement); or (ii) provide written notice to the Company requiring the Company to immediately redeem in cash all or any portion of the Outstanding Principal at a redemption price equal to one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Outstanding
Settled Form
Principal, such redemption price to be paid by the Company, as soon as reasonably practicable, and, in any event, within five Business Days of receipt of such notice of redemption, by way of wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account of the Holder provided by the Holder in writing to the Company,
and, for purposes of this Section 2.3, the Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to take such steps as are required to fulfill the applicable election of the Holder.
2.4 Manner of Exercise or Deemed Exercise of Right to Convert
In order to convert the applicable portion of the Outstanding Principal into Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 2.1, Subsection 2.3(a) or Subsection 2.3(c), the Holder shall deliver a written notice to the Company substantially in the form of Schedule "1" annexed hereto (the "Conversion Notice"), duly executed by the Holder, exercising the Holder's right to convert the Outstanding Principal in accordance with the provisions of this Article 2. Upon delivery of the Conversion Notice, the Holder shall be deemed to be entered in the books of the Company as the registered holder of the number of Conversion Shares into which such applicable portion of the Outstanding Principal is being converted and, as soon as practicable thereafter, and, in any event, within two Business Days, the Company shall deliver to the Holder or, subject as aforesaid, his nominee or assignee a DRS advice for such Conversion Shares. For certainty, the applicable portion of the Outstanding Principal being converted shall be deemed to be converted on the date of delivery of the Conversion Notice to the Company.
2.5 Issuance of Shares
The Company will, as of the time the conversion is effected, issue to the Holder such number of Conversion Shares as are properly required to satisfy the conversion provisions set out herein and shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting any conversion pursuant hereto, such number of its Common Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the applicable portion of the Outstanding Principal. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued Conversion Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the relevant conversion, the Company shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Conversion Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval, if applicable. The Conversion Shares issued upon conversion of this Convertible Note shall rank pari passu with, and have all of the rights (including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared after the conversion), preferences, privileges, and obligations of, and shall be issued in accordance with the same terms and conditions as the Common Shares. As promptly as practicable, and in any event within two (2) Business Days following the delivery of the Conversion Notice, the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder, its nominee or its assignee a share certificate or DRS advice representing such Conversion Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon any conversion pursuant hereto and all Conversion Shares (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion by the Holder shall be aggregated for the purpose of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional Conversion Share. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share, the number of Conversion Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Conversion Share. The Company shall not be required to make any payment to the Holder who, absent this Section 2.5, would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional Conversion Share. For certainty, the Conversion Shares issued upon conversion shall be freely tradeable and shall be entitled to dividends declared in favour of holders of record of Common Shares on or after the delivery of the Conversion Notice, from which applicable date they will for all purposes be and be deemed to be issued and outstanding as fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares.
2.6 Late Issuance
Upon conversion of the Outstanding Principal, in whole or in part, if the Holder does not receive a copy of the DRS advice reflecting the issuance of the relevant Conversion Shares to be issued with respect to the conversion of, in whole or in part, this Convertible Note within two (2) Business Days following the delivery of a Conversion Notice (a "Late Issuance"), the Company shall pay to the Holder the greater of: (a) one thousand dollars ($1,000) per Business Day of delay in the delivery of such DRS advice with respect to the relevant Conversion Shares; and (b) for each Conversion Share which is issued upon the relevant
Settled Form
conversion of Outstanding Principal, an amount equal to the difference (if positive) between (i) the closing price of the Common Shares two (2) Business Days after the date of delivery of the Conversion Notice, and (ii) the closing price of the Common Shares on the Business Day immediately prior to the date on which the DRS advice in respect to the relevant Conversion Shares is received by the Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with a Late Issuance, if, prior to the delivery to the Holder of the DRS advice with respect to the relevant Conversion Shares, an Event of Default occurs of the type described in clause (b) of the definition thereof and the Holder elects to require the Company to immediately redeem in cash all or any of this Convertible Note in respect of such Late Issuance in accordance with Subsection 2.3(b), then the Company shall pay to the Holder the amount calculated in accordance with this Section 2.6, up to and including the date the Holder's notice to the Company of its redemption election is to be delivered pursuant to Subsection 2.3(b) concurrently with the redemption payment for the amount of the Outstanding Principal so redeemed. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section 2.6 in immediately available funds upon demand.
2.7 Conversion Date
The conversion of this Convertible Note is deemed to occur, in the case of a conversion pursuant to Subsection 2.3(a) or Subsection 2.3(c)(i), upon receipt by the Company of the Conversion Notice delivered or such later time as specified in such notice of conversion. The rights of the Holder terminate at such time and the Holder with respect to this Convertible Note will be treated as having become the Holder of record of Common Shares at that time.
2.8 Adjustments for Stock Splits
After the date of issue of this Convertible Note, the Conversion Price will be adjusted upon a Stock Split for determining the number of Conversion Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Outstanding Principal, to provide that at the time the Conversion Price is calculated it shall automatically be adjusted to give effect to any Stock Splits completed by the Company, such that the Conversion Price will be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction:
(a) the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately before the Stock Split; and
(b) the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately after the Stock Split (assuming all Equity Securities issued pursuant to the Stock Split are converted into or exchanged for Common Shares in accordance with the terms thereof).
2.9 Adjustments for Capital Reorganizations
If, following the date of issue of this Convertible Note, the Common Shares are changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or series of stock (including, for clarity, pursuant to a consolidation), whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, amalgamation or merger of the Company, or otherwise, this Convertible Note will be convertible into the kind and amount of shares, other securities and property receivable upon such change that a holder of a number of Common Shares equal to the number of Common Shares into which this Convertible Note was convertible immediately prior to the change is entitled to receive upon such change. In any such case, appropriate adjustment will be made in the application of the provisions of this Article 2 with respect to the rights of the holder of this Convertible Note after the capital reorganization, reclassification, amalgamation or merger to the end that the provisions of this Article 2 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of Common Shares or other securities or property purchasable upon conversion of this Convertible Note) will be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as practicable.
2.10 Certificate as to Adjustments
In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price, the Company, at its expense, will promptly furnish the Holder with a certificate setting out: (a) that adjustment or readjustment; (b) the Conversion Price at the time in effect; and (c) the number of Common Shares and the amount, if any, of other securities or other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of all Outstanding Principal.

2.12 Prohibitions on Conversion
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Subscription Agreement, unless consented to in writing by the Holder, the issuance by the Company of any Conversion Shares to the Holder upon any conversion of this Convertible Note shall not be effective or enforceable and shall be null and void if such issuance of Conversion Shares upon any such conversion of this Convertible Note would result in the Holder either alone or together with any person dealing at non-arm's length or affiliated with the Holder (as such term is defined for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada)), or and any person acting in combination or in concert with the Holder, beneficially owning (directly or indirectly) greater than 9.99% of the outstanding Common Shares after giving effect to the issuance of such Conversion Shares upon such conversion of this Convertible Note.

GENERAL
6.1 Disputes
(a) Subject to Section 6.1(d)(x), any dispute, claim, question or difference arising from, related to or in connection with this Convertible Note, including but not limited to any issue concerning its performance, enforcement, breach, termination or validity (a "Dispute") shall be resolved pursuant to this Section 6.1.
(b) In the event of a Dispute, either party may deliver a notice to the other party, which notice shall identify the nature of such Dispute and the provisions of this Convertible Note, if any, upon which the delivering party intends to rely.
(c) For a period of fifteen (15) Business Days following delivery of the notice contemplated in Section 6.1(b), the parties shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable efforts to attempt to settle the Dispute.
(d) Subject to Section 6.1(d)(x), and unless otherwise expressly agreed by the parties in writing, any Dispute that is not resolved pursuant to Section 6.1(c) shall be resolved by way of binding arbitration as follows:
(i) The arbitration is to be held in Vancouver, British Columbia.
(ii) The arbitration and all claims and defences advanced therein shall be governed by the substantive and procedural laws of British Columbia.
(iii) Either party may commence the arbitration by delivering a notice of arbitration, identifying the matters in dispute and the relief being sought.

Within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of a notice of arbitration, the parties shall each deliver the names of three arbitrators whom they are willing to appoint as the arbitrator for the Dispute. The parties shall then attempt in good faith to agree on an arbitrator. If the parties have not agreed on an arbitrator within ten (10) Business Days of the delivery of a notice of arbitration, each of the parties to the Dispute shall identify an unaffiliated person within a further ten (10) Business Days, and the two unaffiliated persons shall jointly select an arbitrator within a further ten (10) Business Days.

However, each party will bear the expense of its own counsel, experts, witnesses, and preparation and presentation of proofs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitrator will be entitled to make an award of costs at the conclusions of the hearing, including the fees of counsels and arbitrators.
(viii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6.1 or elsewhere in this Convertible Note, each of the parties is free to seek interim or interlocutory
Settled Form
injunctive relief from the Court if: (i) no arbitrator has yet been appointed; and (ii) the party seeking such injunctive relief is at risk of suffering irreparable harm if required to wait for the appointment of an arbitrator before seeking such injunctive relief. Any injunctive relief granted by the Court will remain in place only until such time as an arbitrator appointed pursuant to this Section 6.1 determines can hear the motion for injunctive relief, at which time the injunction granted by the Court will dissolve and the arbitrator will be free to determine the appropriate relief as if it were a matter of first instance.
(ix) The parties shall keep in strict confidence the existence of any arbitration, the subject matter of any arbitration, the evidence and arguments adduced in any arbitration and the existence or contents of any award issued in any arbitration, subject to the disclosure requirements under Applicable Securities Laws.

(b) The Company may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Convertible Note without the prior written consent of the Holder.
6.5 Maximum Interest Rate
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Convertible Note, if the amount of any interest, premium, fees or other monies or any rate of interest stipulated for, taken, reserved or extracted under this Convertible Note would otherwise contravene the provisions of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada), or any other successor or similar legislation, or would exceed the amounts which the Holder is legally entitled to charge and receive under any law to which such compensation is subject, then such amount or rate of interest shall be reduced to such maximum amount as would not contravene such provision; and to the extent that any excess has been charged or received, the Holder shall apply such excess against any outstanding obligation for the repayment of the Outstanding Principal and refund any further excess amount.

If the Company determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that it is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for, or on account of, Withholding Taxes from any amount paid or credited or deemed to have been paid or credited under or with respect to this Convertible Note, the Company shall deduct and withhold such Withholding Taxes from any amount paid or credited or deemed to have been paid or credited under or with respect to this Convertible Note and, provided that the Company forthwith remits such amount to the relevant governmental authority or agency, the amount of any such deduction or withholding will be considered an amount paid in satisfaction of the Company's obligations under this Convertible Note. There is no obligation on the Company to gross-up or pay any additional amounts to any holder of this Convertible Note in respect of such deductions or withholdings. For greater certainty, if any amount is required to be deducted or withheld in respect of Withholding Taxes upon a conversion of this Convertible Note, the Company shall be entitled to liquidate (whether directly or through a broker) such number of Common Shares (or other securities) otherwise issuable as a result of such conversion as shall be necessary in order to satisfy such requirement plus any broker or other fees associated with such liquidation. The Company shall provide the applicable holder of this Convertible Note with copies of receipts or other communications relating to the remittance of such withheld amount or the filing of any forms received from such government authority or agency promptly after receipt thereof. Each holder of this Convertible Note and each relevant party shall indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any loss, interest, penalties, tax or other amounts for which the Company may be liable for any failure to deduct, withhold or remit Withholding Taxes in connection with any amount paid or credited or deemed to have been paid or credited under this Convertible Note.

The Holder covenants and agrees that, for so long as any portion of the Convertible Note remains outstanding, the Holder shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in any short sale, hedging transaction, or other arrangement that is designed to or could reasonably be expected to result in a decrease in the market price of the Company's securities, or (ii) lend, pledge, or otherwise permit any third party to borrow or use any securities of the Company held by the Holder.
6.8 Entire Agreement
Except as expressly provided for in this Convertible Note and the Subscription Agreement and in the agreements, instruments and other documents provided for, contemplated or incorporated herein or therein, this Convertible Note, together with the Subscription Agreement constitutes the only agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede any and all prior negotiations and understanding.
6.9 Severability
If any provision of this Convertible Note or any portion thereof or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall to any extent be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Convertible Note or the application of such provision or any portion thereof to any other person or circumstance shall not be affected thereby and the parties will negotiate in good faith to amend this Convertible Note to implement the intentions set forth in this Convertible Note. Each provision of this Convertible Note shall be legal, valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
6.10 Indemnity
The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Holder and its Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, partners and investors (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all actions, claims, losses (excluding consequential losses), damages (excluding consequential damages), liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, costs and expenses (including legal fees) and taxes (together, the "Losses") incurred by such Indemnified Parties arising out of or in connection with: (a) any breach by the Company of its representations, warranties, covenants or
Settled Form
agreements contained in this Convertible Note; or (b) the Holder relying on any written instructions of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnity in this Section 6.9 shall not apply to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non-appealable shall determine that any of the Holder and/or the Indemnified Parties has been grossly negligent or has committed wilful misconduct or any fraudulent act in the course of such performance.
6.11 Exclusivity and Other Financings
Section 6.1(e) of the Subscription Agreement is specifically incorporated by reference into this Convertible Note, mutatis mutandis.
6.12 Non-Business Day
If any date that may at any time be specified in this Convertible Note as a date for the making of any payment of the Outstanding Principal under this Convertible Note shall fall on a day that is not a Business Day, then the date for the making of that payment shall be the next subsequent Business Day.
6.13 Governing Law; Venue
This Convertible Note is made under and governed by and is to be construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable in the Province of British Columbia. The parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally attorn and submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of British Columbia in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Convertible Note. Each of the parties waives objection to the venue of any action or proceeding in such court or any argument that such court provides an inconvenient forum.
6.14 Currency

6.15 Further Assurances

PART 4
EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
Method of Exercise of Warrants
4.1 The right to purchase Shares conferred by a Warrant may be exercised by the Holder surrendering the Warrant Certificate, together with a duly completed and executed Warrant Exercise Form and a certified cheque or bank draft payable to, or to the order of, the Company at the address as set out on the Warrant Certificate, or such other form of payment as the Company may request or agree, for the purchase price applicable at the time of surrender in respect of the Shares subscribed for in lawful money of Canada to the Company at the address as set out on the Warrant Exercise Form.
Effect of Exercise of Warrants
4.2 Upon surrender and the clearance and settlement of the payment as aforesaid, the Shares so subscribed for will be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder will be deemed to have become the holder of such Shares on the date of such surrender and payment, and such Shares will be issued at the Exercise Price as may be adjusted in the events and in the manner described herein.
4.3 Within five (5) Business Days after surrender and the clearance and settlement of the payment as aforesaid, the Company will forthwith cause to be delivered to the person in whose name the Shares are directed to be registered as specified in such Warrant Exercise Form, or if no such direction is given, the Holder, a certificate for the appropriate number of Shares not exceeding those which the Holder is entitled to purchase pursuant to the Warrant Certificate surrendered. If the Company fails to deliver the certificate representing such Shares to the Holder, or its nominee(s), or assignee(s), as the case may be, within such five (5) Business Day period, the Company shall, subject to the Holder being in compliance with the terms of exercise set out herein, pay to the Holder, in cash, an amount equal to 2% of the payment of the purchase price for the Shares subscribed for, which amount shall accrue daily until such certificate has been delivered to the Holder, or its nominee(s), or assignee(s), as the case may be (the "Delivery Penalty"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Delivery Penalty shall not accrue, be payable, or be owed by the Company to the Holder if the Company has submitted, within three (3) Business Days of the receipt such Warrant Exercise Form, the surrender of the Warrant Certificate and clearance and settlement of the payment as aforesaid, a treasury direction to the Company's transfer agent requesting that certificates or DRS advice statement representing such Shares shall be delivered to the Holder, or its nominee(s), or assignee(s), as applicable.
Subscription for Less than Entitlement
4.4 A Holder may purchase a number of Shares less than the number which the Holder is entitled to purchase pursuant to the surrendered Warrant Certificate. In the event of any purchase of a number of Shares less than the number which can be purchased pursuant to a Warrant Certificate, the Holder, upon exercise thereof, will, in addition to certificates representing Shares issued on such exercise, and be entitled to receive a new Warrant Certificate in respect of the balance of the Shares which the Holder was entitled to purchase pursuant to the surrendered Warrant Certificate but which were not then purchased.
Warrants for Fractions of Shares
4.5 To the extent that a Holder 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 which in the aggregate will entitle the Holder to receive a whole number of Shares. For greater certainty, no fractional Shares shall be issued to the Holder. Any fractional Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares.
Expiration of Warrants
4.6 After the Expiry Date, all rights under the Warrants will wholly cease and terminate, and the Warrants will thereupon be void and of no effect.
Exercise Price
4.7 The price per Share which must be paid to exercise a Warrant is the Exercise Price, as may be adjusted in the events and in the manner described herein.
PART 5
ADJUSTMENTS
Adjustments
5.1 Unless there is something in the subject matter or context inconsistent therewith, in this Part 5, the words and terms defined below will have the following respective meanings:
(a) “Adjustment Period” means the period commencing on the Issue Date and ending at the Expiry Time.
(b) “Current Market Price” of the Shares at any date means the closing market price per Share of such Shares on the day immediately preceding such date on the Exchange, or, if the Shares are not then listed on any Exchange, then the Current Market Price will be determined by the board of directors of the Company, acting reasonably.
(c) “director” means a director of the Company for the time being and, unless otherwise specified herein, a reference to action “by the directors” means action by the directors of the Company as a board or, whenever empowered, action by the executive committee of such board.
(d) “trading day” with respect to a stock exchange or over-the-counter market means a day on which such stock exchange or market is open for business.
5.2 The Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable to the Holder will be subject to adjustment from time to time in the events and in the manner provided as follows:
(a) If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Company:
(i) fixes a record date for the issue of, or issues, Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Shares by way of a stock dividend;
(ii) fixes a record date for the distribution to, or makes a distribution to, the holders of all or substantially all of the Shares payable in Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Shares;
(iii) subdivides the outstanding Shares into a greater number of Shares; or
(iv) consolidates the outstanding Shares into a lesser number of Shares;
(any of such events in subparagraphs (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above being herein called a “Common Share Reorganization”), the Exercise Price will be adjusted on the earlier of the record date on which holders of Shares are determined for the purposes of the Common Share Reorganization and the effective date of the Common Share Reorganization to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date or effective date, as the case may be, by a fraction:
(I) the numerator of which will be the number of Shares outstanding on such record date or effective date before giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization; and
(II) the denominator of which will be the number of Shares that will be outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization (including in the case of a distribution of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Shares at no additional cost to the
holder thereof the number of Shares that would be outstanding had such securities all been exchanged for or converted into Shares on such date).
To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this §5.2(a) as a result of the fixing by the Company of a record date for the distribution of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Shares, the Exercise Price will be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exchange or conversion right to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect based upon the number of Shares actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiry and will be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such rights.
(b) If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Company fixes a record date for the issue or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Shares of rights, options or warrants pursuant to which such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue (such period being the "Rights Period"), to subscribe for or purchase Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Shares at a price per Share (or in the case of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Shares at an exchange or conversion price per Share at the date of issue of such securities) of less than 95% of the Current Market Price of the Shares on such record date (any of such events being herein called a "Rights Offering"), the Exercise Price, subject to the approval of the Exchange, if required, will be adjusted effective immediately after the record date for the Rights Offering to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction:
(i) the numerator of which will be the aggregate of:
(I) the number of Shares outstanding on the record date for the Rights Offering; and
(II) the quotient determined by dividing:
(A) either (a) the product of the number of Shares offered during the Rights Period pursuant to the Rights Offering and the price at which such Shares are offered, or, (b) the product of the exchange or conversion price of the securities so offered and the number of Shares for or into which the securities offered pursuant to the Rights Offering may be exchanged or converted, as the case may be, by
(B) the Current Market Price of the Shares as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and
(ii) the denominator of which will be the aggregate of the number of Shares outstanding on such record date and the number of Shares offered pursuant to the Rights Offering (including in the case of the issue or distribution of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Shares the number of Shares for or into which such securities may be exchanged or converted).
If by the terms of the rights, options, or warrants referred to in this §5.2(b)(ii), there is more than one purchase, conversion or exchange price per Share, the aggregate price of the total number of additional Shares offered for subscription or purchase, or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered, will be calculated for purposes of the adjustment on the basis of the lowest purchase, conversion or exchange price per Share, as the case may be. Any Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such
calculation. To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this §5.2(b)(ii) as a result of the fixing by the Company of a record date for the issue or distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to in this §5.2(b)(ii), the Exercise Price will be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect based upon the number of Shares actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiry and will be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such rights.
(c) If at any time during the Adjustment Period there occurs:
(i) a reclassification or redesignation of the Shares, any change of the Shares into other shares or securities or any other capital reorganization involving the Shares, other than a Common Share Reorganization;
(ii) a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Company with or into any other body corporate that results in a reclassification or redesignation of the Shares or a change of the Shares into other shares or securities; or
(iii) the transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or entity;
(any of such events being herein called a “Capital Reorganization”), then after the effective date of the Capital Reorganization the Holder will be entitled to receive, and shall accept, for the same aggregate consideration, upon exercise of the Warrants, in lieu of the number of Shares to which the Holder was theretofore entitled upon the exercise of the Warrants, the kind and aggregate number of shares and other securities or property resulting from the Capital Reorganization which the Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Shares that the Holder was at such time entitled to purchase or receive upon the exercise of the Warrants. If necessary, as a result of any Capital Reorganization, appropriate adjustments will be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant Certificate with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions of this Warrant Certificate will thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be possible in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants.
(d) If at any time during the Adjustment Period any adjustment or readjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to the provisions of §5.2(a), §5.2(b) or §5.2(c), then the number of Shares purchasable upon the subsequent exercise of the Warrants will be simultaneously adjusted or readjusted, as the case may be, by multiplying the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment by a fraction that is the reciprocal of the fraction used in the adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price.
5.3
§5.2:
The following rules and procedures will be applicable to any adjustments made pursuant
(a) Subject to the following provisions of this §5.3, any adjustments made will be made successively whenever an event referred to in §5.2 occurs.
(b) No adjustment in the Exercise Price will be required unless the adjustment would result in a change of at least one percent (1%) in the Exercise Price then in effect and no adjustment will be made in the number of Shares purchasable or issuable on the exercise of the
Warrants unless it would result in a change of at least one one-hundredth of a Share; provided, however, that any adjustments that, except for the provisions of this paragraph, would otherwise have been required to be made will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. Notwithstanding any other provision of §5.2, no adjustment of the Exercise Price will be made that would result in an increase in the Exercise Price or a decrease in the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants (except in respect of a consolidation of the outstanding Shares).
(c) If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Company takes any action affecting the Shares, other than an action or an event described in §5.2, which in the opinion of the directors would have a material adverse effect upon the rights of the Holder under this Warrant, the Exercise Price and/or the number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant will be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the directors may determine to be equitable in the circumstances, but subject in all cases to any necessary regulatory approval, including approval of the Exchange (or such other stock exchange or quotation system on which the Shares are then listed and posted (or quoted) for trading, as applicable). Failure of the taking of action by the directors so as to provide for an adjustment prior to the effective date of any action by the Company affecting the Shares will be deemed to be conclusive evidence that the directors have determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances.
(d) No adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number or kind of securities purchasable on the exercise of the Warrants will be made in respect of any event described in §5.2 if the Holder is entitled to participate in such event on the same terms mutatis mutandis as if the Holder had exercised the Warrants prior to, or on, the record date or effective date, as the case may be, of such event.
(e) If the Company sets a record date to determine holders of Shares for the purpose of entitling such holders to receive any dividend or distribution or any subscription or purchase rights and thereafter and before the distribution to such holders of any such dividend, distribution or subscription or purchase rights legally abandons its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution or subscription or purchase rights, no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be required by reason of the setting of such record date and any such adjustment that has been made will be reversed.
(f) In any case in which this Warrant requires that an adjustment become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to in §5.2, the Company may defer, until the occurrence of such event:
(i) issuing to the Holder, to the extent that the Warrants are exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event, the additional Shares issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event; and
(ii) delivering to the Holder any distribution declared with respect to such additional Shares after such record date and before such event,
provided, however, that the Company delivers 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 Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants.
(g) As a condition precedent to the taking of any action that would require an adjustment pursuant to §5.2, the Company will take any action that may, in the opinion of the Company's legal counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally
issue as fully paid and non-assessable all of the Shares that the Holder is entitled to receive in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.
(h) All adjustments to the Exercise Price or the number of Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant are subject to the prior approval of the Exchange (or such other stock exchange or quotation system on which the Shares are then listed and posted (or quoted) for trading, as applicable). The Company shall keep the Holder, or its agent, reasonably updated and informed with respect to such approval process.
(i) If any questions will at any time arise with respect to the Exercise Price or any adjustment provided for in this Part 5, such questions will be conclusively determined by the board of directors of the Company, acting reasonably.
Hold Period
5.4 The Shares received by the Holder upon the exercise of the Warrants may be subject to restrictions on resale under the Securities Act (British Columbia), the rules and policies of the Exchange and/or other applicable securities laws.
U.S. Securities Laws
5.5 This Warrant and any Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "U.S. Securities Act"), as amended, or under state securities laws of any state in the United States. Accordingly, this Warrant may not be transferred or exercised in the United States or by or on behalf of a U.S. Person (as defined in the U.S. Securities Act) or a person in the United States unless an exemption is available from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and the holder of this Warrant has furnished an opinion of counsel of recognized standing or such other documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Company to such effect, as applicable.
PART 6 COVENANTS BY THE COMPANY
Reservation of Shares
6.1 The Company will reserve, and there will remain unissued out of its authorized share structure, a sufficient number of shares to satisfy the rights of purchase provided for in all Warrants from time to time outstanding.
PART 7 MODIFICATION OF TERMS, SUCCESSORS
Modification of Terms and Conditions for Certain Purposes
7.1 From time to time the Company may, subject to the provisions of the Warrant Certificate and the policies of the Exchange, modify the terms and conditions hereof, without the prior consent of the Holder, for the purposes of:
(a) adding to the provisions hereof such additional covenants and enforcement provisions as, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Company, are necessary or advisable in the circumstances for the protection of the Holders;
(b) making such provisions not inconsistent herewith as may be necessary or desirable for the purpose of obtaining a listing or quotation of Warrants on any stock exchange, bourse or quotation system;
(c) adding to or altering the provisions hereof in respect of: (i) the registration of Warrants; (ii) the exchange of Warrant Certificate of different denominations, and (iii) making any modification in the form of Warrant Certificate; which do not affect the substance thereof;
(d) for any other purpose not inconsistent with the terms hereof, including the correction or rectification of any ambiguities, defective provisions, errors or omissions herein; or
(e) to evidence any succession of any corporation and the assumption by any successor of the covenants of the Company herein and in the Warrants contained as provided hereafter in this Part 7.
Company may Amalgamate on Certain Terms
7.2 Nothing herein contained will prevent any amalgamation or merger of the Company with or into any other company, or the sale of the property or assets of the Company to any company lawfully entitled to acquire the same; provided however that the company formed by such merger or amalgamation or which acquires by conveyance or transfer all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Company will, simultaneously with such amalgamation, merger, conveyance or transfer, assume the due and punctual performance and observance of all the covenants and conditions hereof to be performed or observed by the Company and will succeed to and be substituted for the Company, and such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Warrant Certificate as may be appropriate in view of such amalgamation, merger or transfer.
Additional Financings
7.3 Nothing herein contained will prevent the Company from issuing any other securities or rights during the period within which a Warrant is exercisable, upon such terms as the Company may deem appropriate.
Limitation on Exercise (9.9% Limit)
7.4 The Holder agrees that it shall be prohibited from exercising any Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate if the aggregate number of Shares owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Holder either alone or together with any person dealing at non-arm's length or affiliated with the Holder (as such term is defined for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada)), or any person acting in combination or in concert with the Holder, beneficially owning (or deemed to beneficially own under applicable securities laws), that collectively, as a result of such exercise would exceed 9.99% of the issued and outstanding Shares calculated on the date of exercise of the Warrants. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether any Warrants shall be exercisable (vis-à-vis other convertible, redeemable, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates) and of which such securities shall be convertible, redeemable, exercisable or exchangeable (as among all such securities owned by the Holder and its affiliates) shall, subject to the above limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise, redemption or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to exercise any Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate or to issue Shares pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Section 7.4 with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. For greater certainty, the limitation on exercise set out in Section 3.5.2 of the Subscription Agreement is also applicable to these Warrants.
Miscellaneous
7.5 All notices or other communications to be given under this Warrant Certificate shall be delivered by hand, by post or by electronic mail and, if delivered by hand, shall be deemed to have been given on the delivery date, if delivered by post, on the third business day next following the post thereof, and, if sent by electronic mail, on the date of transmission if sent before 5:00 p.m., Toronto time, on a business day or, if sent after 5:00 p.m., Toronto time, or such day is not a business day, on the first business day following the date of transmission.
