| 4. | EXERCISE OF WARRANTS |
| 4.1 | Method of Exercise of Warrants |
| (a) | The right to purchase shares conferred by the Warrants may be exercised by the Holder surrendering the Warrant Certificate representing same, with a duly completed and executed Form of Subscription in the form attached hereto and a bank draft or certified cheque payable to or to the order of the Company, at par, in Carson City, Nevada, U.S.A., for the purchase price applicable at the time of surrender in respect of the shares subscribed for in lawful money of the United States of America, to the Company at the address set forth in, or from time to time specified by the Company pursuant to, Section 3.2. |
- 4 -
(b) Net Issue Exercise.
| (i) | Section 4.1(b)(ii) shall not apply and shall have no force or effect if the shares issuable upon exercise of these Warrants have been registered for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), on a Registration Statement on Form S-1, S-3, or another appropriate form and such Registration Statement remains effective under the 1933 Act and available for use by Holder at the time of exercise. |
| (ii) | Subject to Section 4.1(b)(i), if, at any time after the issuance of these Warrants but prior to the Expiry Date, the Fair Market Value of one share is greater than the Exercise Price, in lieu of exercising these Warrants for cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of these Warrants (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant Certificate at the principal office of the Company with a duly completed and executed Form of Subscription in the form attached hereto in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares computed using the following formula: |
X = (Y (A - B)) / A
Where X = the number of shares to be issued to Holder
Y = the number of shares purchasable under the Warrants or, if only a portion of the Warrants are being exercised, the portion of the Warrants being exercised (at the date of such calculation)
A = the Fair Market Value of one share (at the date of such calculation)
B = Exercise Price (at the date of such calculation)
For purposes of the above calculation, the “Fair Market Value” of one share shall mean (i) the volume weighted average trading price for the shares on the Eligible Market on which the shares are listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets (or a comparable reporting service of national reputation selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Holder if Bloomberg Financial Markets is not then reporting sales prices of such security) (collectively, “Bloomberg”) for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the date of exercise, or (ii) if an Eligible Market is not the principal Trading Market for the shares, the average of the reported sales prices reported by Bloomberg on the principal Trading Market for the shares during the same period, or (iii) if neither of the foregoing applies, the last sales price of such security as reported by Bloomberg, or if no sales price is so reported for such security, the last bid price of such security as reported by Bloomberg, or (iv) if fair market value cannot be calculated as of such date on any of the foregoing bases, the fair market value shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in the exercise of its good faith judgment.
| 4.2 | Effect of Exercise of Warrants |
| (a) | Upon surrender and payment (unless exercise is pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(ii)) as aforesaid the shares so subscribed for will be deemed to have been issued and such person or persons will be deemed to have become the Holder or Holders of record of such shares on the date of such surrender and payment, and such shares will be issued based on the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such surrender and payment. |
| (b) | Within three (3) Business Days after surrender and payment (unless exercise is pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(ii)) as aforesaid, the Company will forthwith cause to be delivered to the person or persons in whose name or names the Shares so subscribed for are to be issued as specified in such Form of Subscription or mailed to him or them at his or their respective addresses specified in such Form |
- 5 -
| of Subscription, a certificate or certificates for the appropriate number of Shares not exceeding those which the Holder is entitled to purchase pursuant to the Warrant Certificate surrendered. |
| 4.3 | Restrictions on Exercise of Warrants |
The Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate may only be exercised by or for the account or benefit of a holder who, at the time of exercise, represents to the Company, pursuant to subparagraph 1 of the attached Form of Subscription, that (a) the holder was the original holder of the Warrants, and (b) the holder is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the 1933 Act.
| 4.4 | Subscription for Less Than Entitlement |
The Holder of any Warrant may subscribe for and purchase a number of shares less than the number which he 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 thereof upon exercise thereof will in addition be entitled to receive a new Warrant Certificate in respect of the balance of the shares which he was entitled to purchase pursuant to the surrendered Warrant Certificate and which were not then purchased.
| 4.5 | Warrants for Fractions of Shares |
To the extent that the Holder of any Warrant 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 or other Warrants which in the aggregate entitle the Holder to receive a whole number of such shares.
| 4.6 | Expiration of Warrants |
After the expiration of the period within which a Warrant is exercisable, all rights thereunder will wholly cease and terminate and such Warrant will be void and of no effect.
| 4.7 | Exercise Price; Beneficial Ownership Limitation |
Each whole Warrant is exercisable at a price per share (the “Exercise Price”) of US$0.164 if exercised on or before 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on September 22, 2013. One (1) Warrant and the Exercise Price are required to subscribe for each Share during the term of the Warrants.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Company shall not effect the exercise of Warrants, and no Holder shall exercise Warrants, to the extent that as a result of such exercise, the Holder, together with its affiliates, would then beneficially own in excess of four and ninety-nine hundredths percent (4.99%) (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
For purposes of the foregoing paragraph, the number of Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of these Warrants with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of these Warrants beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4.7, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4.7 applies, the determination of whether these Warrants are exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of these Warrants is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Form of Subscription shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether these Warrants are exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of these Warrants is exercisable, and the Company shall have no obligation
- 6 -
to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4.7, in determining the number of outstanding Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including these Warrants, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding Shares was reported.
By written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of nine and ninety-nine hundredths percent (9.99%) specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Warrants.
| 4.8 | Adjustment of Exercise Price |
The Exercise Price and the number of Shares purchasable hereunder (or any shares of stock or other securities or property receivable or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) are subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
| (a) | Reclassification of Shares. If the Company at any time shall, by reclassification or exchange of securities or otherwise, change all of the outstanding Shares into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant Certificate shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable hereunder had the Holder exercised its rights with respect to all of the Shares then represented by this Warrant Certificate immediately prior to such combination, reclassification, exchange, subdivision or other change. |
| (b) | Subdivision, Split, Reverse Split or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time shall subdivide or split its Shares into a larger number of outstanding Shares, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of these Warrants (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of these Warrants) shall be proportionally increased to reflect any such subdivision or stock split. If the Company at any time shall reverse split or combine its Shares into a smaller number of outstanding Shares, the Exercise Price of these Warrants shall be proportionally increased and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of these Warrants (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of these Warrants) shall be proportionally decreased to reflect any such reverse stock split or combination. |
| (c) | Stock Dividends or Other Non-Cash Distributions. If the Company at any time shall make, issue, fix a record date for or pay a dividend or other distribution with respect to the Shares (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrants) payable in (i) securities of the Company or (ii) assets (excluding cash dividends), then, in each such case, the Holder on exercise of these Warrants at any time after the consummation, effective date or record date of such dividend or other distribution, shall receive, in addition to the Shares (or such other stock or securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such date, and without the payment of additional consideration therefor, the securities or such other assets of the Company to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such date if such Holder had exercised these Warrants on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and all such additional securities or other assets distributed with respect to such shares as aforesaid during such period giving effect to all adjustments called for by this Section 4.8. |
- 7 -
| (d) | Capital Reorganization, Merger or Consolidation. In case of any capital reorganization of the capital stock of the Company (other than a combination, stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), or any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company then, and in each such case, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of these Warrants until the Expiry Date and upon payment of the Exercise Price (or use of net exercise if then permitted hereunder), the number of shares or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer that a holder of the Shares deliverable upon exercise of these Warrants would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if these Warrants had been exercised immediately before such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 4.8. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.8(d) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of any other corporation that are at the time receivable upon the exercise of these Warrants. If the per-Share consideration payable to the Holder hereof for Shares in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. In addition to the adjustments set forth above, appropriate adjustments (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant Certificate with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant Certificate shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of these Warrants. |
| (e) | Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment in the Exercise Price, or number or type of Shares or other securities or property issuable upon exercise of these Warrants, the Chief Financial Officer or Controller of the Company shall compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant Certificate and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and/or Shares, other securities or property issuable upon exercise, as applicable. The Company shall promptly send a copy of each such certificate to the Holder. |
| 4.9 | Determination of Adjustments |
If any questions will at any time arise with respect to the Exercise Price or any adjustment provided for in Section 4.8, such questions will be conclusively determined by the Company’s Auditors, or, if they decline to so act any other firm of certified public accountants in the United States of America that the Company may designate and who will have access to all appropriate records and such determination will be binding upon the Company and the Holders of the Warrants.
| 4.10 | Charges, Taxes and Expenses |
Issuance of certificates for Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder (or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder).
| 5. | REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE COMPANY |
| 5.1 | Due Authorization; Consents |
The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holder that all corporate authorizations necessary for the execution and delivery of, and the performance of all obligations of the Company under, this Warrant have been obtained.

CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO TRANSFERS – READ CAREFULLY
The signature(s) of the transferor(s) must correspond with the name(s) as written upon the face of this certificate(s), in every particular, without alteration or enlargement, or any change whatsoever. The signature(s) on this form must be guaranteed in accordance with the transfer agent’s then current guidelines and requirements at the time of transfer. Notarized or witnessed signatures are not acceptable as guaranteed signatures. As at the time of closing, you may choose one of the following methods (although subject to change in accordance with industry practice and standards):
| ● | Canada and the USA: A Medallion Signature Guarantee obtained from a member of an acceptable Medallion Signature Guarantee Program (STAMP, SEMP, NYSE MSP). Many commercial banks, savings banks, credit unions, and all broker dealers participate in a Medallion Signature Guarantee Program. The Guarantor must affix a stamp bearing the actual words “Medallion Guaranteed”, with the correct prefix covering the face value of the certificate. |
| ● | Canada: A Signature Guarantee obtained from the Guarantor must affix a stamp bearing the actual words “Signature Guaranteed”. Signature Guarantees are not accepted from Treasury Branches, Credit Unions or Caisse Populaires unless they are members of a Medallion Signature Guarantee Program. For corporate holders, corporate signing resolutions, including certificate of incumbency, are also required to accompany the transfer, unless there is a “Signature & Authority to Sign Guarantee” Stamp affixed to the transfer (as opposed to a “Signature Guarantee” Stamp) obtained from an authorized officer of a major Canadian Schedule 1 chartered bank. |
| ● | Outside North America: For holders located outside North America, present the certificates(s) and/or document(s) that require a guarantee to a local financial institution that has a corresponding Canadian or American affiliate which is a member of an acceptable Medallion Signature Guarantee Program. The corresponding affiliate will arrange for the signature to be over-guaranteed. |
