 SECTION 4 EXERCISE OF WARRANTS 

4.1 Method of Exercise of Warrants 

The right to purchase Shares conferred by the Warrants may be exercised by the Holder surrendering the Warrant Certificate representing
same, with a duly completed and executed subscription in the form attached hereto and a bank draft or certified check payable to the Company for the aggregate purchase price applicable at the time of surrender in respect of the shares subscribed for
in lawful money of the United States of America, to the Company at the address set forth herein. 
 4.2 Effect of Exercise of Warrants

  

	 	(a)	Upon surrender and payment as aforesaid, the Shares so subscribed for will be deemed to have been issued and such person or persons will be deemed to have become the
Holder or Holders of record of such shares on the date of such surrender and payment, and such shares will be issued at the subscription price in effect on the date of such surrender and payment. 


 

	 	(b)	Within 14 days after surrender and payment as aforesaid, the Company will forthwith cause to be delivered to the person or persons in whose name or names the Shares so
subscribed for are to be issued as specified in such subscription or mailed to him or them at his or their respective addresses specified in such subscription, a certificate or certificates for the appropriate number of Shares not exceeding those
which the Warrant Holder is entitled to purchase pursuant to the Warrant surrendered. 

 4.3 Limitation on Exercise of
Warrants 
 The Warrant shall expire on the earlier to occur of (i) 60 days following the Holder’s departure from
the Company’s board of directors (for whatever reason) and (ii) June 30, 2012 (the “Expiry Date”). The Company has the sole discretion to determine whether the Expiry Date has passed. 

4.4 Subscription for Less Than Entitlement 

The Holder of any Warrant may subscribe for and purchase a number of shares less than the number which he is entitled to purchase pursuant
to the surrendered Warrant. In the event of any purchase of a number of shares less than the number which can be purchased pursuant to a Warrant, the Holder thereof upon exercise thereof will in addition be entitled to receive a new Warrant in
respect of the balance of the shares which he was entitled to purchase pursuant to the surrendered Warrant and which were not then purchased. 







 4.5 Warrants for Fractions of Shares 

To the extent that the Holder of any Warrant is entitled to receive on the exercise or partial exercise thereof a fraction of a share,
such right may be exercised in respect of such fraction only in combination with another Warrant or other Warrants which in the aggregate entitle the Holder to receive a whole number of such shares. 

4.6 Expiration of Warrants 

After the expiration of the period within which a Warrant is exercisable, all rights thereunder will wholly cease and terminate and such
Warrant will be void and of no effect. 
 4.7 Time of Essence 

Time will be of the essence hereof. 

4.8 Subscription Price 

Each Warrant is exercisable at the Exercise Price. One (1) Warrant and the Exercise Price are required to subscribe for each share
during the term of the Warrants. 
 4.9 Adjustment of Exercise Price 

The Exercise Price and the number of shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be subject to adjustment in the event and
in the manner following: 
  

	 	(a)	If and whenever the shares at any time outstanding are subdivided into a greater or consolidated into a lesser number of shares the Exercise Price will be decreased or
increased proportionately as the case may be; upon any such subdivision or consolidation, the number of shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be increased or decreased proportionately as the case may be. 


 

	 	(b)	In case of any capital reorganization or of any reclassification of the capital of the Company or in the case of the consolidation, merger or amalgamation of the
Company with or into any other Company (hereinafter collectively referred to as a “Reorganization”), each Warrant will, after such Reorganization, confer the right to purchase the number of shares or other securities of the Company
(or of the Company’s resulting from such Reorganization) which the Warrant Holder would have been entitled to upon Reorganization if the Warrant Holder had been a shareholder at the time of such Reorganization. 









	 	(c)	In any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustments will be made in the application of the provisions of this Article Four relating to the rights and interest
thereafter of the Holders of the Warrants so that the provisions of this Article Four will be made applicable as nearly as reasonably possible to any shares or other securities deliverable after the Reorganization on the exercise of the
Warrants. 

  

	 	(d)	In the event the Company makes an offer to shareholders (whether by rights issues, rights offer, open offer or other pre-emptive offer), then at such time, the Company
shall make the same offer to the Warrant Holder as if such Warrant Holder had exercised the Warrant on the day immediately preceding the date of such offer (or the record date), provided that if the Directors shall resolve, in the case of any offer
made by the Company, the Company shall not be required to make the same offer to the Warrant Holder if the Exercise Price and number of Shares issuable upon any subsequent exercise of the Warrant is adjusted accordingly. The Company’s Auditors
shall certify in writing as to the necessary adjustment, and within 28 days, notice shall be sent to the Warrant Holder of the adjusted Exercise Price and/or the number of Shares to which the Warrant Holder is entitled upon exercise of the Warrant,
together with a new warrant certificate in respect of the adjusted number of Shares for which the Warrant Holder is entitled to subscribe. 

  

	 	(e)	The subdivision or consolidation of shares at any time outstanding into a greater or lesser number of shares (whether with or without par value) will not be deemed to
be a Reorganization for the purposes of this clause. 

  

	 	(f)	The adjustments provided for in this Section are cumulative and will become effective immediately after the record date or, if no record date is fixed, the effective
date of the event which results in such adjustments. 

 4.10 Determination of Adjustments 

If any questions will at any time arise with respect to the Exercise Price or any adjustment provided for in the “Adjustment of
Exercise Price” section above, such questions will be conclusively determined by the Company’s Auditors, or, if they decline to so act, any other firm of certified public accountants in the U.S. that the Company may designate and who will
have access to all appropriate records, and such determination will be binding upon the Company and the Holders of the Warrants. 
 SECTION 5
WAIVER OF CERTAIN RIGHTS 
 5.1 Immunity of Shareholders, etc. 

The Warrant Holder, as part of the consideration for the issue of the Warrants, waives and will not have any right, cause of action or
remedy now or hereafter existing in any jurisdiction against any past, present or future incorporator, shareholder, Director or officer (as such) of the Company for the issue of shares pursuant to any Warrant or on any covenant, agreement,
representation or warranty by the Company herein contained or in the Warrant.

 (b) If the Company commences liquidation, whether voluntary or compulsory, it shall give notice thereof to the Holder; and
the Holder will (if in such winding-up there shall be a surplus available for distribution among the holders of the Shares (including for this purpose the Shares which would be issued upon the exercise of Warrant) which, taking into account the
amounts payable on the exercise of the Warrant, exceeds in respect of each Share a sum equal to the Exercise Price) be treated as if immediately prior to commencement of the liquidation the Warrant had been exercised in full and shall accordingly be
entitled to receive out of the assets available on liquidation pari passu with the holders of the Shares such a sum as he would have received had he been the holder of the Shares to which he would have become entitled by virtue of such exercise
after deducting a sum per share equal to the Exercise Price.
