WARRANTS FOR PURCHASE OF COMMON SHARES
 
THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received                                                                                                        (the "holder") is entitled to subscribe for and purchase fully paid and non-assessa•le common s ares ("Common Shares") in the ca pital of ROCHESTER RESOURCES LTD. (the "Company") at any time on or before 4:30 p.m. (Vancouver Time) on November 25, 2011 (the "Expiry Time") at a purchase price of $0.20 per Common Share (the "Purchase Price"), subject to adjustment, and to the provisions and the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
 
 
 

 
 
The right to acquire Common Shares granted by this certificate ("Warrant Certificate") may be exercised by the holder, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, in whole or in part (but not as to a fractional Common Share), by surrender of this Warrant Certificate and the duly completed and executed exercise form attached hereto as Appendix "A" (the "Exercise Form") to the offices of the Company located at Suite 1305, 1090 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, B.C. V6E 3V7 accompanied by a certified cheque, bank draft or money order payable in lawful money of Canada to or to the order of the Company in payment of an amount equal to the Purchase Price multiplied by the number of Common Shares for which Warrants are then exercised. See attached Appendix "C" for instructions on how to exercise Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate.
 
Surrender of this Warrant Certificate and the duly completed Exercise Form with payment of the aggregate Purchase Price as provided above will be deemed to have been effected only on personal delivery thereof to, or if sent by mail or other means of transmission on actual receipt thereof by, the Company in the City of Vancouver, British Columbia.
 
In the event of any exercise of the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate, certificates representing the Common Shares so subscribed for shall be delivered to the holder at the address specified in the Exercise Form within a reasonable time, not exceeding three business days, after the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate have been so exercised. If fewer Common Shares are purchased than the number that can be purchased pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, unless the Warrants have expired, a new Warrant Certificate granting the right to acquire that number of Common Shares, if any, with respect to which the Warrants have not then been exercised shall also be issued to the holder within such time. If the number of Common Shares otherwise issuable upon the exercise of Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificat e is a fractional number, the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
 
All Common Shares issued on or before March 26, 2010 upon the exercise of the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate will be subject to a hold period and may not be traded until March 26, 2010 except as permitted by applicable securities laws and regulations and the certificates representing such Common Shares shall bear the following legends:
 
"UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE MARCH 26, 2010."
 
"WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL OF THE TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE AND COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRADED ON OR THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF THE TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE OR OTHERWISE IN CANADA OR TO OR FOR THE BENEFIT OF A CANADIAN RESIDENT UNTIL MARCH 26, 2010."
 
The Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate may only be exercised by or on behalf of a holder who, at the time of exercise, either:
 
  (a)
(i)
is not (and is not exercising the Warrant for the account or on behalf of) a U.S. person or a person in the United States;
 
 
(ii)  
did not execute or deliver the Exercise Form while within the United States; and
 
 
(iii)  
has in all other respects complied with the terms of Regulation S of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"); or
 
 
(b)  
is the original subscriber for the Warrants, and delivered a Certification of U.S. Purchaser to the Company in connection with the subscription and the representations, warranties and covenants made by the undersigned therein are true and correct on the date of exercise of the Warrants; or
 
 
(c)  
is tendering with the Exercise Form a written opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, acting reasonably, to the effect that the Common Shares to be delivered upon exercise of the Warrants have been registered under the U.S. Securities Act and the securities laws of all applicable states of the United States or are exempt from such registration requirements.

The Company further covenants and agrees that, during the period within which the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of Common Shares to provide for the exercise of the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate.
 
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS REFERRED TO IN THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE:
 
1.
Adjustment of Subscription and Purchase Rights.  The Purchase Price in effect and the number and type of securities issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants at any date shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
 
 
(a)
If and whenever at any time prior to the Expiry Time the Company shall (i) subdivide or redivide the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares, (ii) reduce, combine or consolidate the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iii) issue Common Shares or other Participating Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted immediately after such event or on the record date for such issue of Common Shares or other Participating Shares by way of stock dividend, as the case may be, so that it shall equal the amount determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such event or record date, as the case may be, by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares and other Participating Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event or record date, as the case may be, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares and other Participating Shares outstanding immediately after such event or record date, as the case may be. The number of Common Shares which the holder is entitled to purchase upon exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted at the same time by multiplying the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant by the inverse of the aforesaid fraction. Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this subsection (a) shall occur. Any such issue of Common Shares or other Participating Shares by way of a stock dividend shall be deemed to have been made on the record date for the stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares or other Participating Shares immediately after such event under this subsection (a) and subsection (e) of this Section. To the extent that such stock dividend is not so issued, the Purchase P rice shall be re-adjusted to the Purchase Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.
 
 
3

 
 
 
(b)
If and whenever at any time prior to the Expiry Time the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of the outstanding Common Shares entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 45 days after such record date, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or other Participating Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares or other Participating Shares) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) less than 95% of the Current Market Price on such record date, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number arrived at b y dividing the aggregate subscription price for the total number of additional Common Shares or other Participating Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered) by such Current Market Price, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the total number of additional Common Shares or other Participating Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable). The number of Common Shares which the holder is entitled to purchase upon exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted at the same time by multiplying the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant by the inverse of the aforesaid fraction. Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed not to be outstanding for t he purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that any such rights, options or warrants are not so issued or any such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Purchase Price and the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall then be re-adjusted to the Purchase Price which would then be in effect based upon the number and aggregate price of Common Shares or other Participating Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares or other Participating Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be.
 
 
(c)
If and whenever at any time prior to the Expiry Time the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common Shares of (i) shares of any class (other than shares distributed to holders of Common Shares in lieu of Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course on the Common Shares and other than a stock dividend referred to in subsection 1(a)), (ii) rights, options or warrants (excluding those referred to in subsection 1(b)), (iii) evidence of its indebtedness, or (iv) any other property or assets (excluding Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course), including shares of other corporations, then, in each such case, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Market Price on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined by the board of directors of the Company, which determination, absent error, shall be conclusive) of such shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness, property or assets so distributed, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Current Market Price. The number of Common Shares which the holder is entitled to purchase upon exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted at the same time by multiplying the number of Common Shares issuable on the exercise of each Warrant by the inverse of the aforesaid fraction. Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that such distrib ution is not so made, the Purchase Price shall be re-adjusted to the Purchase Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Purchase Price which would then be in effect based upon such shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness, property or assets actually distributed, as the case may be, and in clause (iv) the term "Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course" shall include the value of any securities or other property or assets distributed in lieu of cash Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course.
 
 
4

 
 
 
(d)
If and whenever at any time prior to the Expiry Time there is a reclassification of the Common Shares at any time outstanding or a change of the Common Shares into other shares or a capital reorganization of the Company not covered in subsection 1(a) or a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or a sale of the property and assets of the Company as or substantially as an entirety to any other person, any Warrants which have not been exercised prior to the effective date of such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, merger or sale shall thereafter be exercisable for that number of shares or other securities or property of the Company or of the corporation resulting from such reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation or merger or of the person to which such sale may be made, as the case may be, that the holder would have been enti tled to receive on such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, merger or sale of, on the effective date thereof, had the holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which the holder was then entitled upon due exercise of the Warrants. In any case, if necessary, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Warrant Certificate with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Warrants to the end that the provisions set forth in this Warrant Certificate shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as reasonably possible, in relation to any shares or securities or property to which the holder may be entitled upon the exercise of such Warrants thereafter.
 
 
(e)
In any case in which the provisions of this Section 1 require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein, the Company may defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the holder of any Warrant exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the kind and amount of shares, other securities or property to which it would be entitled upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such holder an appropriate instrument evidencing such holder's right to receive the kind and amount of shares, other securities or property to which it would be entitled upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment and the right to receive any distributions made or declared in favour of holders of record of Common Shares as constituted from time to time on and after such date as the holder would, but for the provisions of this subsection 1(e), have received, or become entitled to receive, on such exercise.
 
 
(f)
The adjustments provided for in this Warrant Certificate are cumulative and shall apply to successive subdivisions, redivisions, reductions, combinations, consolidations, distributions, issues or other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this Warrant Certificate; provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no adjustment of the Purchase Price or number of Common Shares, as then constituted, issuable on the exercise of Warrants shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Purchase Price or the number of Common Shares, as then constituted, issuable on the exercise of Warrants then in effect. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustments which by reason of this subsection 1(f) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
 
 
(g)
In the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments provided in this Warrant Certificate, such question shall, absent manifest error, be conclusively determined by a firm of chartered accountants appointed by the Company (who may be the auditors of the Company) with the assistance of legal counsel, who may be legal counsel to the Company; such accountants shall have access to all necessary records of the Company and such determination shall be binding upon the Company and the holder.
 
 
5

 
 
 
(h)
Promptly after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment under this Section 1, the Company shall deliver a certificate to the holder specifying the nature of the adjustment or readjustment necessitated thereby and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
