WARRANT AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), dated as of October 30, 2003,
by and between American Goldrush Corporation, a corporation incorporated under
the laws of Canada (the "Company"), and _______________ ("Warrantholder").
Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 14 hereof.
In consideration of the mutual terms, conditions,
representations, warranties and agreements herein set forth, and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Issuance of Warrants.
The Company hereby issues and grants to Warrantholder
____________ Class B Warrants ("Warrants") to purchase ________ Common shares of
the Company (the "Common Shares"). Commencing on October 30, 2006, the third
anniversary of the date hereof, or such earlier date as determined by the
Company in its sole and absolute discretion (the "Warrant Commencement Date"),
and terminating three years thereafter (the "Warrant Expiration Date"), the
holder shall have the right, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to
exercise set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement, to purchase ________ Common
Shares (the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants being
collectively referred to herein as the "Warrant Shares") at an exercise price of
CDN$1.46 per Warrant Share (the "Exercise Price"). The number of Warrant Shares
issuable on exercise of each Warrant and the Exercise Price are all subject to
adjustment pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding, the Company
may, in its sole and absolute discretion, reduce the Exercise Price.
Section 2. Form of Warrant Certificates.
Promptly after the execution and delivery of this Agreement by
the parties hereto, the Company shall cause to be executed and delivered to
Warrantholder one or more certificates evidencing the Warrants (the "Warrant
Certificates"). Each Warrant Certificate delivered hereunder shall be
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and may have
such letters, numbers or other identification marks and legends, summaries or
endorsements printed thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and that are
not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or as may be required by
applicable law, rule or regulation. Each Warrant Certificate shall be dated the
date of execution by the Company.
Section 3. Execution of Warrant Certificates.
Each Warrant Certificate delivered hereunder shall be signed
on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer,
President or a Vice President. Each such signature may be in the form of a
facsimile thereof and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant
Certificates.
If any officer of the Company who signed any Warrant
Certificate ceases to be an officer of the Company before the Warrant
Certificate so signed shall have been delivered by the Company, such Warrant
Certificate nevertheless may be delivered as though such person had not ceased
to be such officer of the Company.
Section 4. Registration.
Warrant Certificates shall be issued in registered form only.
The Company will keep or cause to be kept books for registration of ownership
1
and transfer of each Warrant Certificate issued pursuant to this Agreement. Each
Warrant Certificate issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be numbered by the
Company and shall be registered by the Company in the name of the holder thereof
(initially the Warrantholder). The Company may deem and treat the registered
holder of any Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner thereof (notwithstanding
any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone) for the
purpose of any exercise thereof and for all other purposes, and the Company
shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Section 5. No Transfers.
A. Restrictions on Transfer. No Warrant may be sold, pledged, hypothecated,
assigned, conveyed, transferred or otherwise disposed of.
B. Cancellation. Warrant Certificates surrendered for exchange shall be canceled
by the Company.
Section 6. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates.
If any Warrant Certificate is mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed, the Company shall issue, upon surrender and cancellation of any
mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for any lost,
stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor
and representing an equal number of Warrants. In the case of a lost, stolen or
destroyed Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate shall be issued by the
Company only upon the Company's receipt of reasonably satisfactory evidence of
such loss, theft or destruction and, if requested, an indemnity or bond
reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
Section 7. Exercise of Warrants.
A. Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7,
Warrants may be exercised, in whole or in part (but not as to any fractional
part of a Warrant), at any time or from time to time on and after the Warrant
Commencement Date and on or prior to 5:00 p.m., Vancouver time, on the Warrant
Expiration Date.
The Warrant shall be exercisable only on and after the Warrant
Commencement Date. If the Company determines in its sole and absolute discretion
to accelerate the date that this Warrant first becomes exercisable to a date
which is earlier than the third anniversary date of the date hereof, the Company
shall send notice to the Warrantholder prior to the date thereof.
In order to exercise any Warrant, Warrantholder shall deliver
to the Company at its office referred to in Section 15 the following: (i) a
written notice in the form of the Election to Purchase appearing at the end of
the form of Warrant Certificate attached as Exhibit A hereto of such
Warrantholder's election to exercise the Warrants, which notice shall specify
the number of such Warrantholder's Warrants being exercised; (ii) the Warrant
Certificate or Warrant Certificates evidencing the Warrants being exercised; and
(iii) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price.
All rights of Warrantholder with respect to any Warrant that
has not been exercised, on or prior to 5:00 p.m., Vancouver time, on the Warrant
Expiration Date shall immediately cease and such Warrants shall be automatically
cancelled and void.
B. Payment of Exercise Price. Payment of the Exercise Price with respect to
Warrants being exercised hereunder may, at the election of Warrantholder, be
2
made as follows: (i) by the payment to the Company, in cash, by check or wire
transfer, of an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of
Warrants then being exercised; or (ii) by surrendering to the Company for
cancellation Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants to acquire a number of
Warrant Shares equal to (x) the aggregate Exercise Price divided by (y) the fair
market value of one Warrant Share (a "cashless exercise").
If a Warrantholder elects a cashless exercise, the number of
Warrant Shares to be issued to Warrantholder upon such exercise shall be
computed using the following formula:
X = Y(A-B)
A
X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to Warrantholder
Y = the number of Warrant Shares underlying the Warrants being exercised
A = the fair market value of one Warrant Share
B = the Exercise Price
(a) As used herein, the "fair market value of one Warrant Share" means an amount
equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which a Warrant Share is
convertible times the average, over the 5 trading-day period ending on the
trading day which is two trading days prior to the date of surrender, of the
closing sales prices (or, if on any day there is no closing sales price, the
average of the highest bid and lowest asked price) in the United States
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board as reported by the National Quotation Bureau,
Incorporated, or any similar successor organization.
(b) For the purpose of this section, the "closing" shall mean 4:00 p.m.,
New York City time.
C. Payment of Taxes. The Company shall be responsible for paying any and all
issue, documentary, stamp or other taxes that may be payable in respect of any
issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares on exercise of a Warrant.
D. Delivery of Warrant Shares. Upon receipt of the items referred to in Section
7A, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within three
(3) Business Days thereafter, execute and deliver or cause to be executed and
delivered, to or upon the written order of Warrantholder, and in the name of
Warrantholder or Warrantholder's designee, a stock certificate or stock
certificates representing the number of Warrant Shares to be issued on exercise
of the Warrant(s). The certificates issued to Warrantholder or its designee
shall bear any restrictive legend required under applicable law, rule or
regulation. The stock certificate or certificates so delivered shall be
registered in the name of Warrantholder or such other name as shall be
designated in said notice. A Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and
such stock certificate or stock certificates shall be deemed to have been
issued, and such holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein
shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all
purposes, as of the date that such notice, together with payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price and the Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates
evidencing the Warrants to be exercised, is received by the Company as
aforesaid. If the Warrants evidenced by any Warrant Certificate are exercised in
part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the stock certificates,
deliver to the holder thereof a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrants
that were not exercised or surrendered, which shall in all respects (other than
as to the number of Warrants evidenced thereby) be identical to the Warrant
3
Certificate being exercised. Any Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise
of Warrants shall be canceled by the Company.
Section 8. Adjustment of Number of Warrant Shares Issuable Upon Exercise of a
Warrant and Adjustment of Exercise Price.
A. Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Recapitalizations. The number
of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant and the Exercise Price
shall each be proportionately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock
split, reverse stock split, recapitalization or the like affecting the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock that occurs after the date hereof.
B. Adjustments for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger. If after the date
hereof, the Company (or any other entity, the stock or other securities of which
are at the time receivable on the exercise of the Warrants), consolidates with
or merges into another entity or conveys all or substantially all of its assets
to another entity, then, in each such case, Warrantholder, upon any permitted
exercise of a Warrant (as provided in Section 7), at any time after the
consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance, shall
be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property
receivable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such consummation, the
stock or other securities or property to which such Warrantholder would have
been entitled upon the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation,
merger or conveyance if such Warrantholder had exercised the Warrant immediately
prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 8.
The successor or purchasing entity in any such reorganization, consolidation,
merger or conveyance (if other than the Company) shall duly execute and deliver
to Warrantholder a written acknowledgment of such entity's obligations under the
Warrants and this Agreement.
C. Notice of Certain Events.
Upon the occurrence of any event resulting in an adjustment in
the number of Warrant Shares (or other stock or securities or property)
receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants or the Exercise Price, the Company
shall promptly thereafter (i) compute such adjustment in accordance with the
terms of the Warrants, (ii) prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment
and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and (iii)
mail copies of such certificate to Warrantholder.
D. Adjustment to the Exercise Price.
The Company has the right, in its sole and absolute
discretion, to reduce the Exercise Price. Upon any such determination, the
Company shall notice to the Warrantholder thereof.
Section 9. Reservation of Shares.
The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available,
free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued
Common Shares the aggregate number of the Warrant Shares deliverable upon the
exercise of all outstanding Warrants, for the purpose of enabling it to satisfy
any obligation to issue the Warrant Shares upon the due and punctual exercise of
the Warrants, through 5:00 p.m., Vancouver time, on the Warrant Expiration Date.
Section 10 No Impairment.
The Company shall not, by amendment of its Articles of
Incorporation or bylaws, or through reorganization, consolidation, merger,
4
dissolution, issuance or sale of securities, sale of assets or any other
voluntary action, willfully avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
of any of the terms of the Warrants or this Agreement, and shall at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all
such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights
of Warrantholder under the Warrants and this Agreement against wrongful
impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall
take all actions that are necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may
validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of the Warrants.
Section 11 Representations and Warranties of Warrantholder.
Warrantholder represents and warrants to the Company that, on
the date hereof and on the date the Warrantholder exercises the Warrant pursuant

as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act.
(ii) Warrantholder understands that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares have not
been registered under the Securities Act and acknowledges that the Warrants and
the Warrant Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently
registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration
becomes available.
(iii) Warrantholder is acquiring the Warrants for Warrantholder's own account
for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any
distribution thereof.
(iv) All the representations made by the
Warrantholder on the date hereof in the
Subscription Agreement between the Company and the Warrantholder shall be true
and correct as of the date the Warrantholder exercises the Warrant.
Section 12 No Rights or Liabilities as Stockholder.
No holder, as such, of any Warrant Certificate shall be
entitled to vote, receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Shares
which may at any time be issuable on the exercise of the Warrants represented
thereby for any purpose whatever, nor shall anything contained herein or in any
Warrant Certificate be construed to confer upon the holder of any Warrant
Certificate, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any
right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to
stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any
corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock,
reclassification of stock, change of par value or change of stock to no par
value, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), or to receive notice of
meetings or other actions affecting stockholders or to receive dividend or
subscription rights, or otherwise, until such Warrant Certificate shall have
been exercised in accordance with the provisions hereof and the receipt and
collection of the Exercise Price and any other amounts payable upon such
exercise by the Company. No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative
action by Warrantholder to purchase Warrant Shares shall give rise to any
liability of such holder for the Exercise Price or as a stockholder of the
Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of
the Company.
Section 13 Fractional Interests.
The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares
of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants or to distribute certificates that

of a Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued by the Company shall be
rounded to the nearest whole number, with one-half or greater being rounded up.
