and in the manner following:

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (1)

            	
              If
      and whenever the shares at any time outstanding shall be, subdivided into
      a greater number or consolidated into a lesser, number of shares, the
      Exercise Price shall be decreased or increased proportionately as the case
      may be; upon any such subdivision or consolidation, the number of shares
      which can be purchased upon the exercise of this warrant certificate shall
      be increased or decreased proportionately as the case may
    be.

            


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              In
      case of any capital reorganization or of any reclassification of the
      capital of the Corporation or in case of the consolidation, merger or
      amalgamation of the Corporation with or into any other company, this
      Warrant shall after such capital reorganization, reclassification of
      capital, consolidation, merger or amalgamation confer the right to
      purchase the number of shares or other securities of the Corporation or of
      the Corporation resulting from such capital reorganization,
      reclassification, consolidation, merger or amalgamation, as the case may
      be, to which the Holder of the shares deliverable at the time of such
      capital reorganization, reclassification of capital, consolidation, merger
      or amalgamation, upon the exercise of this Warrant would have been
      entitled.  On such capital reorganization, reclassification,
      consolidation, merger or amalgamation appropriate adjustments shall be
      made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to
      the rights and interest thereafter of the Holder of this Warrant so that
      the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable as nearly
      as may reasonably be in relation to any shares or other securities
      thereafter deliverable on the exercise of this Warrant.  If a
      dispute shall at any time arise with respect to adjustments of the
      Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
      exercise of this Warrant, such disputes shall be conclusively determined
      by the auditors of the Corporation or if they are unable or unwilling to
      act, by such other firm of independent chartered accountants certified by
      the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board as may be
      selected by the directors and any such determination shall be conclusive
      evidence of the correctness of any adjustment made pursuant to subsection
      6(2) hereof and shall be binding upon the Corporation and the
      Holder.

            


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (3)

            	
              The
      rights of the Holder evidenced hereby are to purchase shares prior to or
      on the date set out on the face of this Warrant.  If there
      shall, prior to the exercise of any of the rights evidenced hereby, be any
      reorganization of the authorized capital of the Corporation by way of
      consolidation, merger, subdivision, amalgamation or otherwise, or the
      payment of any stock dividends, then there shall automatically be an
      adjustment in either or both of the number of shares which may be
      purchased pursuant hereto or the price at which such shares may be
      purchased so that the rights evidenced hereby shall thereafter as
      reasonably as possible be equivalent to those originally granted
      hereby.  The Corporation shall have the sole and exclusive power
      to make such adjustments as it considers necessary and
      desirable.

contained in this Section.  By acceptance of this certificate, the

      Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from registration pursuant to
      the Act;

            


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              The
      Corporation will refuse to register any transfer of the Warrants and the
      Warrant Shares not made in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S
      of the Act, pursuant to registration under the Act, or pursuant to an
      available exemption from registration;
and

            


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (3)

              (a)

            	
              The

      United States Securities Act of
      1933 (the “Act”);

            


    

    


    
      	
              (b)

            	
              The
      Warrantholder is acquiring the Shares for its own account for investment,
      with no present intention of dividing my interest with others or of
      reselling or otherwise disposing of all or any portion of the

      after the passage of a fixed or determinable period of time or upon the
      occurrence or non-occurrence of any predetermined event or
      circumstance;

            


    

    


    
      	
              (d)

            	
              The
      Warrantholder has no present or contemplated agreement, undertaking,
