 If any of the Common Shares subscribed for are to be issued to a person or persons other than the Warrantholder, the Warrantholder shall comply with such reasonable requirements as the Corporation may prescribe and shall pay to the Corporation, all applicable transfer or similar taxes and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver certificates evidencing Common Shares unless or until such Warrantholder shall have paid to the Corporation, the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid or that no tax is due.

The Corporation shall not be required to make any payment to a Warrantholder who, absent this Subsection 3.4(b), would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional Common Share.

			Expiration of Warrants

			



 


	 	
			(a)

				
			Immediately after the Time of Expiry, all rights under any Warrant in respect of which the right of acquisition herein and therein provided for shall not have been exercised shall cease and terminate and such Warrant shall be void and of no further force or effect except to the extent that the Warrantholder has not received certificates representing the Common Shares held by it, in which instances the Warrantholder's rights hereunder shall continue until it has received that to which it is entitled hereunder.

			



 


	 	
			(b)

				
			Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, if at any time prior to [●], 2020 the volume-weighted average trading price of the Common Shares (the “VWAP”) on the Exchange exceeds USD$0.60 per share for a period of 21 consecutive trading days (the “Acceleration Event”), the Corporation may, at its option, accelerate the Expiry Date by delivery of a notice (the “Acceleration Notice”) to the Warrantholder and issuing a press release (the “Acceleration Press Release”), and, in such case, the Expiry Date shall be deemed to be the 21st day following the later of (i) the date on which the Acceleration Notice is sent to the Warrantholder or (ii) the date of issuance of the Acceleration Press Release. To the extent trading in the Common Shares is denoted in a currency other than United States dollars, the VWAP shall be calculated based on the applicable closing foreign exchange rate published by the Bank of Canada on the date of the Acceleration Event.

			



 


	
			3.6

				
			Securities Restrictions

			



 


 Notwithstanding anything herein contained, no Common Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of any Warrant if the issuance of such Common Shares would constitute a violation of the securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Warrants are exercised pursuant to Section 3.1, the certificates representing the Common Shares thereby issued will bear such legend as may, in the opinion of Counsel to the Corporation, be necessary in order to avoid a violation of any securities laws of any province or territory in Canada or of the United States or to comply with the requirements of any stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed, provided that if, at any time, in the opinion of Counsel to the Corporation, such legends are no longer necessary in order to avoid a violation of any such laws, or the holder of any such legended certificate, at the holder's expense, provides the Corporation with evidence satisfactory in form and substance to the Corporation (which may include an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Corporation) to the effect that such holder is entitled to sell or otherwise transfer such Common Shares in a transaction in which such legends are not required, such legended certificate may thereafter be surrendered to the Corporation in exchange for a certificate which does not bear such legend.

			(a)

				
			if and whenever at any time from the date hereof and prior to the Time of Expiry, the Corporation shall:

			



 


	 	
			(i)

				
			subdivide, redivide or change its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares;

			then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, in the case of any action described in (i) or (ii) above, on the effective date thereof, and, in the case of any action described in (iii) above, immediately after the record date thereof by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such effective date or the close of business on such record date, as the case may be, by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such effective date or the close of business on such record date, as the case may be, and the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such effective date or immediately after such record date, as the case may be, and, upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this subsection 4.1(a), the number of Common Shares subject to the right of purchase under each Warrant shall be contemporaneously adjusted by multiplying the number of Common Shares theretofore obtainable on the exercise thereof by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the respective Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator shall be the respective Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this subsection 4.1(a) shall occur;

If determined appropriate by the Corporation to give effect to or to evidence the provisions of this Subsection 4.1(b), the Corporation, its successor, or such purchasing body corporate, partnership, trust or other entity, as the case may be, shall, prior to or contemporaneously with any such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, sale, lease, exchange or transfer, issue a new Warrant Certificate or amend this Warrant Certificate which shall provide, to the extent possible, for the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Warrantholder to the end that the provisions set forth in this Warrant Certificate shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, with respect to any shares, other securities or property to which a Warrantholder is entitled on the exercise of its acquisition rights thereafter. Any warrant certificate issued by the Corporation, any successor to the Corporation or such purchasing body corporate, partnership, trust or other entity and the Corporation shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided in this Section 4.1 and which shall apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, consolidations, amalgamations, arrangements, mergers, sales, leases, exchanges or transfers;

			



 


	 	
			(c)

				
			the adjustments provided for in this Article 4 in the number of Common Shares and classes of securities which are to be received on the exercise of Warrants are cumulative.
