  1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.







           a. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder as follows:

Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than the entire Warrant Value shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase a number of First Warrant Shares equal to the quotient derived from dividing the unpaid portion of the Warrant Value by the Exercise Price. On or before the first Business Day following the date on which the Company has received each of the Exercise Notice, this Warrant and the Aggregate Exercise Price (the "EXERCISE DELIVERY DOCUMENTS"), the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents to the Holder and the Company's transfer agent (the "TRANSFER AGENT").







Subject to the paragraph below, on or before the third Business Day following the date on which the Company has received all of the Exercise Delivery Documents (the "SHARE DELIVERY DATE"), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the First Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date that such shares are credited to the Holder’s account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such First Warrant Shares, as applicable.







Notwithstanding the paragraph above, in the absence of an effective registration statement or applicable exemption, the Holder shall receive physical share certificates or "book entry" statement at the Company's share transfer agent, upon exercise of this Warrant. Provided that the person exercising the Warrants signs and delivers a letter substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, certificates or "book entry" statements representing Shares issued upon the exercise of Warrants shall be issued in physical form and bear the following legend:







THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “U.S. SECURITIES ACT”).  THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING SUCH SECURITIES AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO THE COMPANY, (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS, OR (C) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION AFTER PROVIDING A SATISFACTORY LEGAL OPINION TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.


 




  





  











  











If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the Warrant Value represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is at such time, greater than the applicable Aggregate Exercise Price, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than five Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6(d)), bearing the same legend as this Warrant, representing the Warrant Value less the Aggregate Exercise Price. No fractional Ordinary Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of First Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.


 


b. EXERCISE PRICE. For purposes of this Warrant, "EXERCISE PRICE" means $0.08 U.S Dollars.







c. CASHLESS EXERCISE. The Holder may notify the Company in an Exercise Notice of its election to utilize cashless exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of First Warrant Shares determined as follows:

X = the number of First Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.


 


Y = the number of First Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.


 


A = the average of the Closing Sale Prices for the three Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date.


 


B = the applicable Exercise Price.


 


For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the First Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the First Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued.




  





  











  






 



“CLOSING SALE PRICE” means the last closing trade price for the Ordinary Shares on a Trading Market, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Trading Market begins to operate on an extended hours basis and does not designate the closing trade price then the last trade price of such security prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg, or if the foregoing does not apply, the last closing trade price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no trade price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices, or the ask prices, respectively, of any market makers for such security as reported in the “pink sheets” by Pink OTC Markets Inc. (formerly the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.).  If the Closing Sale Price cannot be calculated for a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Sale Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holder.  All such determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during the applicable calculation period.










"TRADING DAY" means (i) a day on which the Ordinary Shares are traded on a Trading Market (other than the OTC Bulletin Board), or (ii) if the Ordinary Shares are not listed on a Trading Market (other than the OTC Bulletin Board), a day on which the Ordinary Shares are traded in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board, or (iii) if the Ordinary Shares are not quoted on any Trading Market, a day on which the Ordinary Shares are quoted in the over-the-counter market as reported by the Pink OTC Markets Inc. (or any similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices).




 


2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding share capital into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of First Warrant Shares issuable hereunder will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding share capital into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of First Warrant Shares issuable hereunder will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. The number of Ordinary Shares granted to the Holder shall be adjusted proportionately in the event that the Company pays a share dividend or dividend of any other security that is convertible into shares of the Company.

4. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Association or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant.

In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on such holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.







6. REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS.

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any party hereto of any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.







9. GOVERNING LAW.

The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the holder of this Warrant and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
