Exhibit B - 1
 
 

 
 
The Warrants and the Common Shares issuable upon exercise hereof have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States.  The Warrants may not be exercised in the United States or by or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person or a person in the United States and the underlying Common Shares may not be delivered within the United States unless the underlying Common Shares to be delivered upon exercise of these Warrants have been registered under the U.S. Securities Act and the securities laws of all applicable states of the United States or an exemption from such registration requirements is available, and the holder has delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Company to such effect.  “United States” and “U.S. Person” are used herein as such terms are defined by Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act.
 
The rights to acquire Common Shares granted by this certificate (the “Warrant Certificate”) may be exercised by the holder, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, in whole or in part (but not as to a fractional Common Share), by surrender of this Warrant Certificate and the duly completed and executed Exercise Form attached hereto as Appendix A to the offices of the Company located at 7425 Arbutus Street, Vancouver, BC V6P 5T2, accompanied by a certified cheque, bank draft or money order payable in lawful money of the United States to or to the order of the Company in payment of an amount equal to the purchase price of the number of Common Shares for which Warrants are then exercised.  See attached Appendix C for instructions on how to exercise Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate.
 
Surrender of this Warrant Certificate and the duly completed Exercise Form with payment of the purchase price as provided above will be deemed to have been effected only on personal delivery thereof to, or if sent by mail or other means of transmission on actual receipt thereof by, the Company at the offices of the Company.
 
In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant Certificate, certificates representing the Common Shares so subscribed for shall be delivered to the holder at the address specified in the Exercise Form within a reasonable time, not exceeding five days after the rights represented by this Warrant Certificate have been so exercised.  If fewer Common Shares are purchased than the number that can be purchased pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, unless the Warrants have expired, a new warrant certificate granting the right to acquire that number of Common Shares, if any, with respect to which the Warrants have not then been exercised shall also be issued to the holder within such time.  The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Common Shares upon the exercise of all or any part of the Warrants and the holder will not be entitled to a cash payment in lieu of any such fractional interest.

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, either:

Unless the Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants are registered under the U.S. Securities Act and the securities laws of all applicable states of the United States and the holder has provided a written opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company to such effect, all certificates representing Common Shares will bear the following legend:
 
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “U.S. SECURITIES ACT”).  THESE SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO THE CORPORATION, (B) IF THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS (C) IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 THEREUNDER, IF APPLICABLE, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (D) IN A TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE LAWS AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE OFFER AND SALE OF SECURITIES, AND THE HOLDER HAS, PRIOR TO SUCH SALE, FURNISHED TO THE CORPORATION AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OF RECOGNIZED STANDING, OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF EXEMPTION, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION.  HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. SECURITIES LAWS”.
 
 
The Company covenants and agrees that all Common Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant Certificate will, upon issuance, be fully paid and non-assessable and free of all liens, charges and encumbrances.  The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant Certificate may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of Common Shares to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant Certificate.
 
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS REFERRED TO IN THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE:
 
1.  Adjustment of Subscription and Purchase Rights.  The original purchase price in effect and the number and type of securities purchasable under the Warrants at any date shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
 
(a)      
If and whenever at any time prior to the Expiry Time, the Company shall (i) subdivide or redivide the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares, (ii) reduce, combine or consolidate the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iii) issue Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend, the exercise price in effect on the effective date of any such event shall be adjusted immediately after such event or on the record date for such issue of Common Shares by way of stock dividend, as the case may be, so that it shall equal the amount determined by multiplying the purchase price in effect immediately prior to such event by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event; and the number of Common Shares which the holder is entitled to purchase upon exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted at the same time by multiplying the number by the inverse of the aforesaid fraction; such adjustments shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this subsection (a) shall occur; any such issue of Common Shares by way of a stock dividend shall be deemed to have been made on the record date for the stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares immediately after such event under this subsection (a) and subsection (e) of this Section.
 
Exhibit B - 3
 
 

 

(b)      
If and whenever at any time prior to the Expiry Time, the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of the outstanding Common Shares, entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 45 days after such record date, 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, the purchase price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the purchase 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 arrived at by dividing the aggregate price of the total number of additional Common Shares 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 offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable); and the number of Common Shares which the holder is entitled to purchase upon exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted at the same time by multiplying the number by the inverse of the aforesaid fraction; 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; to the extent that any such rights, options or warrants are not so issued or any such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the purchase price shall then be re-adjusted to the exercise price which would then be in effect based upon the number and aggregate price 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.
 
(c)      
If and whenever at any time prior to the Expiry Time, the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common Shares of: (i) shares of any class other than Common Shares, other than shares distributed to holders of Common Shares pursuant to their exercise of options to receive dividends in the form of such shares in lieu of Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course on the Common Shares and other than the issue of Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend, or (ii) subject to paragraph 1(b), rights, options or warrants (excluding rights exercisable for 45 days or less) or (iii) evidence of its indebtedness, or (iv) assets (excluding Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course), including shares of other corporations, then, in each such case, the purchase price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the purchase price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be  the greater of:  (i) one; and (ii) the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Market Price per Common Share on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined by the board of directors of the Company, acting reasonably, which determination, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive) of such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences or indebtedness 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 per Common Share; and the number of Common Shares which the holder is entitled to purchase upon exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted at the same time by multiplying the number by the inverse of the aforesaid fraction; any Common Shares owned by or held for the account 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; to the extent that such distribution is not so made, the exercise price shall be re-adjusted to the exercise price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the exercise price which would then be in effect based upon such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences of indebtedness or assets actually distributed, as the case may be, and in clause (iv) the term “Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course” shall include the value of any securities or other property or assets distributed in lieu of cash Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course.
 
Exhibit B - 4
 
 

 
 
(d)      
If and whenever at any time prior to the Expiry Time, there is a reclassification of the Common Shares at any time outstanding or a change of the Common Shares into other shares or a capital reorganization of the Company not covered in subsection (a) of this section or a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or a sale of the property and assets of the Company as or substantially as an entirety to any other person, a holder holding Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate which have not been exercised prior to the effective date of such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, merger or sale shall thereafter, upon the exercise of such Warrants, be entitled to receive and shall accept in lieu of the number of Common Shares, as then constituted, to which the holder was previously entitled upon exercise of the Warrants, but for the same aggregate consideration payable therefore, the number of shares or other securities or property of the Company or of the corporation resulting from such reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation or merger or of the person to which such sale may be made, as the case may be, that such holder would have been entitled to receive on such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, merger or sale of, on the effective date thereof, as if the holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which the holder was previously entitled upon due exercise of the Warrants; and in any case, if necessary, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Warrant Certificate with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Warrants to the end that the provisions set forth in this Warrant Certificate shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to any shares or securities or property to which the holder may be entitled upon the exercise of such Warrants thereafter.
 
(e)      
The adjustments required under the terms of this Warrant Certificate upon the occurrence of any of the events referred to herein shall become effective immediately after a record date for such event, and the Company may defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the holder of any Warrants exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the kind and amount of shares, other securities or property to which it would be entitled upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such holder an appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right to receive the kind and amount of shares, other securities or property to which it would be entitled upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment and the right to receive any distributions made or declared in favour of holders of record of Common Shares as constituted from time to time on and after such date as the holder would, but for the provisions of this subsection (e), have received, or become entitled to receive, on such exercise.
 
(f)      
The adjustments provided for in this Warrant Certificate are cumulative and shall apply to successive subdivisions, redivisions, reductions, combinations, consolidations, distributions, issues or other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this Warrant Certificate provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no adjustment of the purchase price or number of Common Shares, as then constituted, purchasable shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease, of at least 1% in the purchase price or the number of Common Shares, as then constituted, purchasable then in effect; provided however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (f) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
 
(g)      
In the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments provided in this Warrant Certificate, such question shall, absent manifest error, be conclusively determined by a firm of chartered accountants appointed by the Company (who may be the auditors of the Company) and acceptable to the holder, acting reasonably, with the assistance of legal counsel, who may be legal counsel to the Company; such accountants shall have access to all necessary records of the Company and such determination shall be binding upon the Company and the holder.
 
Exhibit B - 5
 
 

 

2.  Definitions.
 
In this Warrant Certificate:
 
(a)      
“Current Market Price” per Common Share or Participating Share at any date shall be the closing price per share for such shares on a day before such date on OTCBB (or if the Common Shares are not listed on such stock exchange, on such other exchange on which the Common Shares are listed as may be selected for such purpose by the directors of the Company, or if the Common Shares are not listed on any stock exchange, then on the over the counter market);
 
(b)      
“Common Shares” means the Company’s presently authorized common voting shares without par value and shall also include any other authorized classes of shares in the capital of the Company which do not have special rights and restrictions attaching fixed dividends thereto and limiting the participation of holders of shares of such classes in the distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company;
 
(c)      
“Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course” means cash dividends declared payable on the Common Shares in any fiscal year of the Company to the extent that such cash dividends do not exceed, in the aggregate, the greatest of:  (i) 50% of the retained earnings of the Company at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal year; (ii) 150% of the aggregate amount and/or value of dividends declared payable by the Company on the Common Shares in its immediately preceding fiscal year; and (iii) 100% of the net earnings of the Company, before extraordinary items, for its immediately preceding fiscal year (versus the amount or value of all dividends paid or payable in respect of such fiscal year which credited net earnings) to be as shown in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for such preceding fiscal year or, if there are no audited financial statements with respect to such period, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistent with the applications made in preparation of the most recent audited consolidated financial statements of the Company, and for such purpose the amounts of any dividend paid in shares shall be the aggregate deemed issue price of such shares and the amount of any dividend paid in other than cash or shares shall be the fair market value of such dividend as declared by resolution passed by the board of directors of the Company; and
 
3.  Restriction on Exercise.  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no Holder shall exercise these Warrants, if as a result of such conversion the holder would then become a “beneficial owner” (as determined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of more than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock.  For greater certainty, the Warrants shall not be exercisable by the Holder or redeemed by the Company, if, after giving effect to such exercise, the holder of such securities, together with its affiliates, would in aggregate beneficially own, or exercise control or direction over that number of voting securities of the Company which is 4.99% or greater of the total issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company, immediately after giving effect to such exercise; provided, however, that upon a holder of these Warrants providing the Company with a Waiver Notice that such holder would like to waive the provisions of this paragraph 3 with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of these Warrants, this paragraph 3 shall be of no force or effect with regard to those shares of Common Stock referenced in the Waiver Notice; provided, further, that this provision shall be of no further force or effect during the sixty-one (61) days immediately preceding the expiration of the term of these Warrants.
 
4.  No Rights of Shareholders.  The Warrants shall not entitle the holder to any rights as a shareholder of the Company, including without limitation, voting rights.
 
5.  Transferability.  The Holder agrees that it will not transfer, hypothecate, sell, assign, pledge or encumber any Warrants or Warrant Shares unless such securities are registered under the U.S. Securities Act and registered or qualified under any applicable state securities laws or such transfer is effected pursuant to an available exemption from registration.  Transfer of the Warrants can be undertaken by delivery of the Warrant Transfer Form, attached as Appendix B hereto, to the Company at the Company’s offices.  The Company undertakes to use commercially
