(b)

The Company covenants and agrees that until the Expiry Time, while the Broker Warrants (or remaining portion thereof) shall be outstanding, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to preserve and maintain its corporate existence, to remain listed on the TSXV, remain a reporting issuer not in default of the requirements of the applicable securities laws in the Canadian jurisdictions in which the Company is currently a reporting issuer and to ensure that the Company shall make all requisite filings necessary to remain a reporting issuer not in default of the requirements of the

11.

Adjustments:

       
(a)

Adjustment: The rights of the holder of this Broker Warrant Certificate, including the number of Broker Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Broker Warrants, will be adjusted from time to time in the events and in the manner provided in, and in accordance with the provisions of, this Section. The purpose and intent of the adjustments provided for in this Section is to ensure that the rights and obligations of the Holder are neither diminished or enhanced as a result of any of the events set forth in paragraphs (b), (c) or (d) of this Section. Accordingly, the provisions of this Section shall be interpreted and applied in accordance with such purpose and intent.

       
(b)

The Exercise Price in effect at any date will be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

       
(i)

Share Reorganization: If and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, the Company shall (A) subdivide, redivide or change the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares, (B) consolidate, combine or reduce the outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of Common Shares, or (C) fix a record date for the issue of Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares to all of the holders of Common Shares by way of a stock dividend or other distribution other than a Dividend Paid in the Ordinary Course, then, in each such event, the Exercise Price shall, on the record date for such event or, if no record date is fixed, the effective date of such event, be adjusted so that it will equal the rate determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such date before giving effect to such event, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such date after giving effect to such event. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such event shall occur. Any such



- 7 -

 

issue of Common Shares by way of a stock dividend shall be deemed to have been made on the record date for such stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under paragraphs 11(b)(i) and (ii) hereof.

     
  (ii)

Rights Offering: If and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, the Company shall fix a record date for the issue of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares entitling the holders thereof, within a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) less than 95% of the Current Market Price on such record date, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it will equal the rate determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of Common Shares equal to the number arrived at by dividing the aggregate price of the total number of additional Common Shares so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered) by such Current Market Price, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the total number of additional Common Shares so offered for subscription or purchase (or into or for which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable). Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed, provided that if two or more such record dates referred to in this paragraph 11(b)(ii) are fixed within a period of 25 Trading Days, such adjustment will be made successively as if each of such record dates occurred on the earliest of such record dates. To the extent that any such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price shall then be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be.

     
  (iii)

Distribution: If and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares of (A) shares of any class other than Common Shares whether of the Company or any other corporation, (B) rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares or property or other assets of the Company (other than rights, options or warrants exercisable by the holders thereof within a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue or distribution to acquire Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares at a price per share, or at an exchange or conversion price per share in the case of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, of at least 95% of the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date), (C) evidences of



- 8 -

indebtedness, or (D) cash, securities or other property or assets then, in each such case and if such distribution does not constitute a Dividend Paid in the Ordinary Course, or fall under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Exercise Price will be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it will equal the rate determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Market Price on the earlier of such record date and the date on which the Company announces its intention to make such distribution, less the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the directors, acting reasonably, at the time such distribution is authorized) of such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences of indebtedness or cash, securities or other property or assets so distributed, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Current Market Price. Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed, provided that if two or more such record dates referred to in this paragraph 11(b)(iii) are fixed within a period of 25 Trading Days, such adjustment will be made successively as if each of such record dates occurred on the earliest of such record dates. To the extent that any such rights, options or warrants so distributed are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price shall then be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon such rights, options or warrants or evidences of indebtedness or cash, securities or other property or assets actually distributed or based upon the number or amount of securities or the property or assets actually issued or distributed upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be.

  (c)

Reclassifications: If and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, there is (A) any reclassification of or amendment to the outstanding Common Shares, any change of the Common Shares into other shares or any other reorganization of the Company (other than as described in subsection 11(b) hereof), (B) any consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, merger or other form of business combination of the Company with or into any other corporation resulting in any reclassification of the outstanding Common Shares, any change of the Common Shares into other shares or any other reorganization of the Company, or (C) any sale, lease, exchange or transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or entity, then, in each such event, the Holder of these Broker Warrants which are thereafter exercised shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which such Holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise, the kind and number or amount of shares or other securities or property which such Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such event if, on the effective date thereof, such Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which such Holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise. If necessary as a result of any such event, appropriate adjustments will be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this subsection with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder of this Broker Warrant Certificate to the end that the provisions set forth in this subsection will thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Broker Warrant. Any such



- 9 -

 

adjustments will be made by and set forth in an instrument supplemental hereto approved by the directors, acting reasonably, and shall for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.

     
  (d)

If at any time during the Adjustment Period any adjustment or readjustment in the Exercise Price shall occur pursuant to the provisions of subsection 11(b) or 11(c) of this Broker Warrant Certificate, then the number of Broker Shares purchasable upon the subsequent exercise of the Broker Warrants shall be simultaneously adjusted or readjusted, as the case may be, by multiplying the number of Broker Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Broker Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment by a fraction which shall be the reciprocal of the fraction used in the adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price.


12.

Rules Regarding Calculation of Adjustment of Exercise Price:

     
(a)

The adjustments provided for in Section 11 are cumulative and will, in the case of adjustments to the Exercise Price, be computed to the nearest whole Broker Share and will be made successively whenever an event referred to therein occurs, subject to the following subsections of this Section 12.

     
(b)

No adjustment in the Exercise Price is required to be made unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% in the prevailing Exercise Price and no adjustment in the Exercise Price is required unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least one one-hundredth of a Broker Share; provided, however, that any adjustments which, except for the provisions of this subsection, would otherwise have been required to be made, will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustments.

     
(c)

No adjustment in the Exercise Price will be made in respect of any event described in Section 11, other than the events referred to in clauses 11(1)(c), if the Holder is entitled to participate in such event on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as if the Holder had exercised these Broker Warrants prior to or on the effective date or record date of such event.

     
(d)

No adjustment in the Exercise Price will be made under Section 11 in respect of the issue from time to time of Common Shares issuable from time to time as Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course to holders of Common Shares who exercise an option or election to receive substantially equivalent dividends in Common Shares in lieu of receiving a cash dividend.

     
(e)

If at any time a question or dispute arises with respect to adjustments provided for in Section 11, such question or dispute will be conclusively determined by the auditor of the Company or, if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such other firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by action of the directors of the Company and any such determination, subject to regulatory approval and absent manifest error, will be binding upon the Company and the Holder. The Company will provide such auditor or chartered accountant with access to all necessary records of the Company.

     
(f)

If the Company sets a record date to take any action described in Section 11 and, thereafter and before the taking of any such action, decides not to implement it or take



- 10 -

 

such action, then no adjustment in the Exercise Price will be required by reason of the setting of such record date.

     
  (g)

If a resolution of the directors of the Company does not fix a record date for any event which would require any adjustment to these Broker Warrants or the applicable corporate statute does not fix a record date for such an event, the Company will be deemed to have fixed as the record date therefor the date on which the event is effected.

     
  (h)

As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require any adjustment to the Broker Shares issuable under these Broker Warrants, including the Exercise Price, the Company shall take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company or any successor to the Company or successor to the undertaking or assets of the Company have unissued and reserved in its authorized capital and may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all the shares or other securities which the Holder is entitled to receive on the full exercise thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof.

     
  (i)

If the Company has publicly announced any event or has fixed a record date or effective date which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in Section 11, and the Company is obligated to or elects to provide notice of such event and the particular to the holders of Common Shares, the Company shall likewise give notice to the Holder, which notice shall specify the particulars of such event requiring such adjustment or readjustment and the results thereof, including the resulting Exercise Price, the record date and the effective date for such event, and such notice shall be provided and delivered on the same terms and in the same manner as would be required to be given to the holders of Common Shares.

     
  (j)

In any case that an adjustment pursuant to Section 11 shall become effective immediately after a record date for or an effective date of an event referred to herein, the Company may defer, until the occurrence and consummation of such event, issuing to the Holder of these Broker Warrants, if exercised after such record date or effective date and before the occurrence and consummation of such event, the additional Broker Shares or other securities or property issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event, provided, however, that the Company will deliver to the Holder an appropriate instrument evidencing the Holder’s right to receive such additional Broker Shares or other securities or property upon the occurrence and consummation of such event and the right to receive any dividend or other distribution in respect of such additional Broker Shares or other securities or property declared in favour of the holders of record of Common Shares or of such other securities or property on or after the Exercise Date or such later date as the Holder would, but for the provisions of this subsection, have become the holder of record of such additional Broker Shares or of such other securities or property.


13.

Consolidation and Amalgamation:

     
(a)

The Company shall not enter into any transaction whereby all or substantially all of its undertaking, property and assets would become the property of any other corporation (herein called a “successor corporation”) whether by way of reorganization, reconstruction, consolidation, amalgamation, merger, transfer, sale, disposition or otherwise, unless prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of such transaction the Company and the successor corporation shall have executed such



- 11 -

instruments and done such things as the Company, acting reasonably, considers necessary or advisable to establish that upon the consummation of such transaction:

  (i)

the successor corporation will have assumed all the covenants and obligations of the Company under this Broker Warrant Certificate, and

     
  (ii)

the Broker Warrants and the terms set forth in this Broker Warrant Certificate will be a valid and binding obligation of the successor corporation entitling the Holder, as against the successor corporation, to all the rights of the Holder under this Broker Warrant Certificate.


  (b)

Whenever the conditions of subsection 13(a) shall have been duly observed and performed the successor corporation shall possess, and from time to time may exercise, each and every right and power of the Company under this Broker Warrant Certificate in the name of the Company or otherwise and any act or proceeding by any provision hereof required to be done or performed by any director or officer of the Company may be done and performed with like force and effect by the like directors or officers of the successor corporation.


14.

Limitation on Exercise of Broker Warrants: Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the rights represented by these Broker Warrants shall not be exercisable by the Holder, in whole or in part, and the Company shall not give effect to any such exercise, if, after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder, together with any person or company acting jointly or in concert with the Holder (the “Joint Actors”) would in the aggregate beneficially own, or exercise control or direction over, that number of voting securities of the Company which is twenty percent (20%) or greater of the total issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company, immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For greater certainty, the rights represented by these Broker Warrants shall not be exercisable by the Holder, in whole or in part, and the Company shall not give effect to any such exercise, if, after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder, together with its Joint Actors, would be deemed to hold a number of voting securities sufficient to materially affect the control of the Company. In connection with the exercise of these Broker Warrants, the Holder shall provide the Company with a duly completed and executed subscription form attached hereto in which the Holder represents, warrants and certifies that the exercise of these Broker Warrants shall not result in the Holder or its Joint Actors holding more than 20% of the issued and outstanding voting securities or holding a number of voting securities sufficient to materially affect the control of the Company, and the Company shall be entitled to rely thereon.

   
15.

Representation and Warranty: The Company hereby represents and warrants with and to the Holder that the Company is duly authorized and has all corporate and lawful power and authority to create and issue these Broker Warrants and the Broker Shares issuable upon the exercise hereof and perform its obligations hereunder and that this Broker Warrant Certificate represents a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms.

   
16.

If Share Transfer Books Closed: The Company shall not be required to deliver certificates for Broker Shares while the share transfer books of the Company are properly closed, prior to any meeting of shareholders or for the payment of dividends or for any other purpose and in the event of the surrender of any Broker Warrant in accordance with the provisions hereof and the making of any subscription and payment for the Broker Shares called for thereby during any such period delivery of certificates for Broker Shares may be postponed for a period not



- 12 -
