 2. Exercise of Warrant. 
 2.1. Right of Exercise. Subject to Section 10.1, Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant at any time and from time to time during the
Exercise Period. 
 2.2. Manner of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant, Holder has the right to exercise
this Warrant during the Exercise Period, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company in accordance with Section 10.2 (a) a Notice of Exercise, duly executed by Holder, specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased,
(b) payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price by cash, certified or official bank check and (c) this Warrant. Upon receipt thereof, the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, execute (or cause to be executed) and deliver (or
cause to be delivered) to Holder a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise. The certificate or certificates so delivered shall be, to the extent possible, in such
denomination or denominations as Holder shall request in the Notice of Exercise and shall be registered in the name of Holder. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been
issued, and Holder shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the items specified in clauses (a) through (c) above are received by the Company. If this Warrant shall have been
exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued, deliver to Holder a new warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the un-purchased
shares of Common Stock called for by this Warrant, which new warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant, or, at the request of Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant and the same returned to Holder.
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to register shares in the name of any Person who acquires this Warrant (or part hereof) or any Warrant Stock otherwise than in accordance with this Warrant.

 2.3. Payment of Taxes. The issuance of a certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall
be made without charge for any stamp or other similar tax in respect of such issuance. 
 2.4. Fractional Shares. The Company shall
not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant or to distribute certificates which evidence fractional shares of Common Stock. If, upon exercise of this Warrant, Holder is entitled to a fractional share of
Warrant Stock, the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be issued to Holder will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. 
  

 3 








 3. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares Issuable. 
 The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time upon
the occurrence of the events enumerated in this Section 3. 
 In the event that, at any time as a result of the provisions of this
Section 3, Holder shall become entitled upon subsequent exercise to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than Common Stock, the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall thereafter be
subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions contained herein. 
 3.1. Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock. 
 If the Company (i) pays a dividend or makes a distribution on its Common
Stock in shares of its Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combines its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, (iv) makes a distribution on its
Common Stock in shares of its capital stock other than Common Stock or (v) issues by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of its capital stock, then the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be
proportionately adjusted so that Holder shall receive, if this Warrant is thereafter exercised, the aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock of the Company which it would have owned immediately following such action if such Warrant had
been exercised immediately prior to such action. 
 The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a
dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If, after an adjustment, Holder upon exercise of this Warrant may receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock
of the Company, the Company shall determine, in good faith, the allocation of the adjusted Exercise Price between the classes of capital stock. After such allocation, the exercise privilege and the Exercise Price of each class of capital stock shall
thereafter be subject to adjustment on terms comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this Section 3. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur. 
 3.2 When De Minimis Adjustment May Be Deferred. 
 No adjustment in the Exercise Price need be made unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Exercise Price; provided that the exercise price is at least equal to the par
or nominal value of the Common Stock. Any adjustments that are not made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest
1/10,000th of a share, as the case may be, it being understood that no such rounding shall be made under Section 3.5 (and, in calculations made pursuant to such paragraph, the adjusted Exercise Price shall refer to such adjusted price before
rounding). 
  

 4 








 3.3 When No Adjustment Required. 
 No adjustment need be made for a transaction referred to in Section 3.1 hereof, if Holder is to participate (without being required to exercise this
Warrant) in the transaction on a basis and with notice that the Board of Directors determines to be fair and appropriate in light of the basis and notice on which holders of Common Stock participate in the transaction. No adjustment need be made for
(i) rights to purchase Common Stock pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest, or (ii) a change in the par value or no par value of the Common Stock (save as to Exercise Price). To the extent this Warrant becomes
convertible into cash, no adjustment need be made thereafter as to the cash. Interest will not accrue on the cash. 
 3.4
Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger, Sale, Transfer or Share Exchange. In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other Person, any merger of another
Person into the Company (other than a merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock), any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or
any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which share exchange the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or other property (any such event, a “Fundamental Change”), then as a condition of such Fundamental Change,
lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of such transaction, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to Holder, so that Holder shall have the right thereafter, during the
period this Warrant shall be convertible hereunder, to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable in connection with such Fundamental
Change by a holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock as were purchasable by Holder immediately prior to such Fundamental Change assuming such holder of the shares of Warrant Stock (a) is not a Person with which the Company
consolidated or into which the Company merged or which merged into the Company, to which such sale or transfer was made or a party to such share exchange, as the case may be (a “Constituent Person”), or an affiliate of a Constituent
Person and (b) failed to exercise its rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Fundamental Change; provided that, if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other
property receivable upon such Fundamental Change is not the same for each Conversion Share held immediately prior to such Fundamental Change by other than a Constituent Person or affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of election
shall not have been exercised (“Non-Electing Share”), then the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Fundamental Change by each Non-Electing Share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so
receivable per share by a plurality of the Non-Electing Shares. The Company, the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which acquires such assets or which acquires the Company’s shares, as the case may be, shall
make provisions in its certificate or articles of incorporation or other organizational documents to establish such right. Such certificate or articles of incorporation or other organizational documents shall provide for adjustments which, for
events subsequent to the effective date of such certificate or articles of incorporation or other organizational documents, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for herein. The above provisions shall
similarly apply to successive Fundamental Changes. 
  

 5 








 3.5 Adjustment in Number of Shares. 
 Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 3, each Warrant outstanding prior to the making of the adjustment in the Exercise
Price shall thereafter evidence the right to receive upon payment of the adjusted Exercise Price that number of Common Stock (calculated to the nearest hundredth) obtained from the following formula: 
  

											
		 	N’	  	=	  	N	  	x	  	 E

	 	  	  	  	  	E’

 where: 
  

					
	N’	  	=	  	the adjusted number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of a Warrant by payment of the adjusted Exercise Price.
			
	N	  	=	  	the number of shares of Warrant Stock previously issuable upon exercise of a Warrant by payment of the Exercise Price prior to adjustment.
			
	E’	  	=	  	the adjusted Exercise Price.
			
	E	  	=	  	the Exercise Price prior to adjustment.

 3.6. Reduction of Exercise Price; Extension of Exercise Period. The Company may, in its
sole discretion, lower the Exercise Price at any time, or from time-to-time. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to extend the Exercise Period by giving thirty days’ written notice to Holder of such extension. 

3.7. Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted as provided in any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall
compute the adjusted Exercise Price in accordance herewith and notify Holder that the Exercise Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Exercise Price. 
 3.8. Company Determination Final. Any determination that the Company or its Board of Directors must make pursuant to Section 3 of this Warrant is conclusive absent manifest error or bad faith. 

4. Redemption. The Company shall have the right, at any time during the Exercise Period, to require Holder either (a) to exercise all or any portion of
this Warrant outstanding and unexercised or (b) to relinquish all or any portion of this Warrant outstanding and unexercised upon 45 days’ written notice in the event that the Trading Price of the Common Stock has equaled or exceeded
US$1.50 per share (the “Trigger Price”) for 15 or more consecutive Trading Days. On each occasion that the Company elects to exercise this right of redemption, the Company must provide such written notice within ten days following
the satisfaction of all of the foregoing conditions. If this Warrant or any portion hereof is redeemed in accordance with this Section 4, Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant in respect of the shares of Warrant Stock subject to
redemption until the close of business on the date next preceding the 

  

 6 








 
date fixed for redemption. On or after the date fixed for redemption, Holder shall have no rights with respect to this Warrant to the extent redeemed. The
Trigger Price shall be subject to adjustment, as the Company’s Board of Directors determines to be fair and appropriate, for any combination, subdivision, split, reverse split, reclassification, stock dividend, or any similar change affecting
the Common Stock. 
 5. Assignment. Neither this Warrant, nor any portion hereof, may be assigned by either the Company or Holder without the prior
written consent of the other party. 
 6. Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized and
unissued stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, such number of shares of Common Stock free of preemptive rights as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall from
time to time, in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, increase its authorized number of shares of Common Stock if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance shall not be sufficient to permit the exercise of
this Warrant. 
 7. Theft, Loss, Destruction. Upon receipt by the Company from Holder of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of
and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and an indemnity and bond reasonably satisfactory to it and, in case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation hereof, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu hereof a new
Warrant of like tenor to Holder; provided, however, in the case of mutilation, no indemnity or bond shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation. 
 8. No Stockholder Rights Conferred by Warrant. Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon Holder any rights of a stockholder of the Company,
including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends or other distributions, or to receive any notice of any proceedings of the Company, except as provided herein, until this Warrant shall have been exercised. 
 9. Securities Purchase Agreement. This Warrant is subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement. To the extent the provisions of this Warrant conflicts
with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall control. 
 10. Miscellaneous. 
 10.1. Termination of Warrant. Except those rights which by their terms specifically extend beyond the end of the Exercise Period, this Warrant and
all rights granted herein, to the extent those rights have not lapsed or been exercised, will terminate and become null and void (a) at the end of the Exercise Period, (b) on the Farm-In Deadline if the Farm-In Conditions shall not have
been satisfied or waived on or prior to such date or (c) as otherwise specifically provided herein.
