Section 38(2) applies with the necessary modifications to the duty of the VCC under subsection (1).

Upon the delivery of the certificates to the holders of existing shares or debentures under subsection (1), all prior certificates in respect of such shares or debentures cease to be operative and cease to have any validity for the purposes of this Act.

(4)

Any share warrant, stating that the bearer of the warrant is entitled to the shares specified in the warrant and enabling the shares to be transferred by delivery of the warrant, that had been issued by the foreign corporate entity before the date of registration of the VCC is void.

(5)

If any VCC on which a notice has been served requiring the VCC to make good any default in complying with this section fails to make good the default within 10 days after the service of the notice, the Court may, on the application of the person entitled to have the certificates or the debentures delivered to him or her, make an order directing the VCC and any officer of the VCC to make good the default within such time as is specified in the order.

(6)

An order under subsection (5) may provide that all costs of and incidental to the application are to be borne by the VCC or by any officer of the VCC in default in such proportions as the Court thinks fit.
