WARRANT FOR THE PURCHASE OF [AMOUNT] COMMON SHARES
THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received, [NAME] (the "Holder") is entitled
to subscribe for and purchase [AMOUNT] fully paid and non-assessable shares of
Common Stock (the "Shares") in the capital of Symplex Communications Corporation
(the "Corporation") at a purchase price per Share of US$1.00 (the "Exercise
Price"). This Warrant is exercisable at any time up to 4:30 P.M. Vancouver time
on January 26, 1999 (the "Date of Expiry"), subject, however, to the provisions
and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof, in
whole or in part (but not as to a fractional Share), by surrender of this
Warrant at the office of the Corporation's Transfer Agent, Pacific Corporate
Trust Company, 830 - 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, X0X 0X0
during its normal business hours, together with the subscription form attached
hereto completed and signed by the Holder and a certified cheque payable to or
to the order of the Corporation in payment of the Exercise Price for the number
of Shares subscribed. Upon the exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof,
the Shares for which the Holder has subscribed and purchased shall be deemed to
have been issued and the Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of
record of such shares on the date of such exercise and payment.
In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant,
certificates for the Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder hereof
within a reasonable time, not exceeding ten days after the rights represented by
this Warrant have been duly exercised and, unless this Warrant has expired, a
new Warrant representing the number of Shares, if any, with respect to which
this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be issued to the
Holder hereof within such time.
Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Corporation of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, if requested by the Corporation,
upon delivery of a bond of indemnity satisfactory to the Corporation (or, in the
case of mutilation, upon surrender of this Warrant), the Corporation will issue
to the Agent a replacement Warrant containing the same terms and conditions as
this Warrant.
The Corporation covenants and agrees that the Shares which may be issued upon
the exercise of the
-2-
rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be fully paid and non-
assessable and free of all liens, charges and encumbrances. The Corporation
further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights
represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Corporation will at all times
have authorized and reserved, a sufficient number of common shares to provide
for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS REFERRED
TO IN THIS WARRANT
1. Upon the occurrence of one or more events involving the capital
reorganization, reclassification, subdivision or consolidation of the
capital stock of the Corporation, or of the merger, amalgamation or other
corporate combination of the Corporation with one or more other entities,
or of any other events in which new securities of any nature are delivered
in exchange for the issued Shares and such issued Shares are cancelled
(which events are collectively referred to herein as "Fundamental
Changes"), then at the time of any exercise of the Warrants taking place
after such Fundamental Changes, and in lieu of issuing the Shares which,
but for such Fundamental Changes and this provision, would have been issued
upon such exercise, the Corporation or its successor shall issue instead
such number of new securities as would have been delivered as a result of
the Fundamental Changes in exchange for those Shares which the holder would
have been entitled to receive upon such exercise if such exercise had
occurred prior to the occurrence of the Fundamental Changes. The
Corporation shall not effect any Fundamental Changes which result in the
succession of the Corporation unless prior to or simultaneously with the
consummation thereof the entity succeeding the Corporation acknowledges in
writing that it is bound by and will comply with this provision. The
Company shall notify the Holder of any Fundamental Change by giving written
notice of the proposed Fundamental Change to the Holder at least 10 days
prior to the record date or effective date of such change. If any question
arises with respect to the adjustment provided in this paragraph 1, such
question shall be conclusively determined by the auditor for the Company.
2. In case at any time:
(a) the Corporation shall pay any dividend payable in stock upon its
common shares or make any distribution to the holders of its common
shares;
(b) the Corporation shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders
of its common shares any additional shares of stock of any class or
other rights; or
(c) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Corporation;
then, and in any one or more of such cases, the Corporation shall give to
the Holder of this Warrant at least seven days' prior written notice of the
date on which the books of the Corporation shall close or a record shall be
taken for such dividend or distribution, or subscription rights, or
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Each such written notice shall be
given by first class mail, registered postage prepaid, addressed to the
Holder of this Warrant at the address of such Holder, as shown on the books
of the Corporation.
3. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder hereof to any rights as a
shareholder of the Corporation, including without limitation, voting
rights, except that the Company shall concurrently furnish to the Holder a
copy of all notices which are furnished to holders of the
-3-
common shares.
4. This Warrant and all rights hereunder are not transferable.
5. This Warrant is exchangeable upon its surrender by the Holder at the office
of the Corporation's Transfer Agent at the address set out herein for new
Warrants of like tenor representing in the aggregate the right to subscribe
for and purchase the number of shares which may be subscribed for and
purchased hereunder, each of such new Warrants to represent the right to
subscribe for and purchase such number of Shares as shall be designated by
the Holder at the time of such surrender.
6. Any notice or other communication required to be given by the Corporation
under this Warrant shall be delivered or telecopied to [ADDRESS].
7. Time is of the essence hereof.
8. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the Province of British Columbia, Canada.
