Attention:  Rick T. Kusmirski,
     President and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Rick:

Acquisition Agreement

We refer to that certain Acquisition Agreement made as of November 13, 2012 (the “Acquisition Agreement”) between Denison Mines Corp. and JNR Resources Inc. All capitalized terms used in this letter agreement that are not otherwise defined herein bear the same meanings as in the Acquisition Agreement.

Section 7.9 of the Acquisition Agreement provides that, if the Offeror concludes that it is necessary or desirable to proceed with another form of transaction such as a plan of arrangement, the Company will support such Alternative Transaction. We have now reviewed the more detailed information that has been provided regarding the composition of the Company’s shareholder base and it appears that more than 10% of the Shareholders are located in Quebec. Therefore, the applicable securities laws would require the Offeror to translate the takeover bid materials and the Offeror’s current continuous disclosure record into French for filing with the Autorité des marches financiers in Quebec. Initial estimates are that the cost of translation would exceed $100,000. We consider this cost to be excessive in the circumstances.

The Offeror has therefore determined that it wishes to proceed with the acquisition of the Company by way of a plan of arrangement between the Company and the Shareholders. If a plan of arrangement is implemented, no translation into French will be required. This amending letter (the “Amending Agreement”) constitutes an amendment and supplement of, and not a replacement of, the Acquisition Agreement. All references to the Acquisition Agreement or to “this Agreement” shall be deemed to refer to the Acquisition Agreement, as amended and supplemented hereby.

ARRANGEMENT

Section 2.1 Arrangement

At the Arrangement Effective Time, the following shall simultaneously occur and be deemed to simultaneously occur without any further act or formality:

 

- 4 -


  (a) each Company Share outstanding immediately prior to the Arrangement Effective Time, but excluding any Company Shares held by a Dissenting Holder or the Offeror or any subsidiary of the Offeror, shall be transferred to the Offeror (free and clear of any liens) and, in exchange therefor, each Former Company Shareholder shall be entitled to receive 0.073 of one Denison Share for each Company Share upon the presentation and surrender on behalf of the holder to the Depositary (acting on behalf of the Offeror) of a certificate or certificates representing the Company Shares, as more fully described in Section 2.2;

 

  (b) each Company Share held by a Dissenting Holder shall be deemed to be transferred by the holder thereof, without any further act or formality on its part, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, to the Offeror and the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount thereof determined and payable in accordance with Article 3 hereof;

and in the case of both Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.1(b), the name of such holder shall be removed from the central securities register of the Company as a holder of Company Shares and the Offeror shall be recorded as the registered holder of the Company Shares so transferred and shall be the legal owner of such Company Shares; and

 

  (c) notwithstanding the terms of the Company Option Plan, or the terms of any agreement evidencing the grant of any Options, at the Arrangement Effective Time, each outstanding Option:

(i) shall vest, notwithstanding that any conditions to such vesting may not have been satisfied;

(ii) shall be exchanged for a Replacement Option immediately after the Arrangement Effective Time to acquire (on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Option immediately before the Arrangement Effective Time under the Company Option Plan and the agreement evidencing the grant, except to the extent that such Replacement Option will expire on the original expiry date for such option), the number (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of Denison Shares equal to the product of: (A) the number of Company Shares subject to such Options immediately prior to the Arrangement Effective Time and (B) 0.073, and the exercise price per Denison Share shall be the amount (rounded up to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) equal to the quotient of (A) the exercise price per Company Share subject to such Option immediately before the Arrangement Effective Time divided by (B) 0.073; and

 

- 5 -


  (d) Each Warrant at the Arrangement Effective Time shall be exchanged for a Replacement Warrant and each such Replacement Warrant shall thereafter entitle the holder to acquire a number (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of Denison Shares equal to the product of (A) the number of Company Shares subject to the Warrant immediately before the Arrangement Effective Time and (B) 0.073, and the exercise price per Denison Share subject to each such Replacement Warrant shall be the amount (rounded up to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) equal to the quotient of (A) the exercise price per Company Share subject to such Warrant immediately before the Arrangement Effective Time divided by (B) 0.073 and shall otherwise be on terms and conditions that are similar to the terms and conditions governing the Warrants, but also incorporating additional customary terms and conditions regarding such matters as exercise mechanism, partial exercise and adjustment provisions as set out in the form of warrant certificate attached hereto as Schedule A;

Section 2.2 Delivery of Consideration

 

  (a) At or promptly after the Arrangement Effective Date, the Offeror will deposit with the Depositary certificates representing the Denison Shares payable and issuable in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1 hereof. Subject to Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.1(b), on and after the Arrangement Effective Time, certificates formerly representing Company Shares (other than Company Shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the Offeror) shall cease to represent such shares and shall represent only the right to receive the consideration therefor specified in Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.1(b) in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement.

 

  (b) As soon as practicable after the Arrangement Effective Date, upon a Former Company Shareholder depositing with the Depositary certificates representing Company Shares accompanied by a duly completed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the Offeror shall cause the Depositary to deliver, to the Holder or otherwise in accordance with the Letter of Transmittal, the share certificates evidencing the Denison Shares to which such Holder is entitled in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement.

  (a) are ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for their Company Shares, which fair value shall be the fair value of such shares immediately before the passing by the holders of the Company Shares of the Company Resolution, and shall be paid an amount equal to such fair value by the Company; and

 

- 7 -


  (b) are ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for their Company Shares shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement, as of the Arrangement Effective Time, on the same basis as a non-dissenting holder of Company Shares and shall be entitled to receive only the consideration contemplated in Section 2.1(a) hereof, as the case may be, that such holder would have received pursuant to the Arrangement if such holder had not exercised Dissent Procedures,

but further provided that in no case shall the Offeror, the Company or any other person be required to recognize holders of the Company Shares who exercise Dissent Procedures as holders of Company Shares after the time that is immediately prior to the Arrangement Effective Time, and the names of such holders of Company Shares who exercise Dissent Procedures shall be deleted from the central securities register as holders of Company Shares, as the case may be, at the Arrangement Effective Time.

ARTICLE 4

DELIVERY OF DENISON SHARES

Section 4.1 Lost Certificates

If any certificate that immediately prior to the Arrangement Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Company Shares or Warrants that were exchanged in accordance with Section 2.1 hereof, shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder of such Company Shares or Warrants claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary shall, subject to the terms hereof, issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a certificate representing the Denison Shares or Replacement Warrants, as the case may be, to which such holder is entitled under the Plan of Arrangement. When authorizing such issuance, as a condition precedent to the delivery of such Denison Shares or Replacement Warrants the holder of Company Shares or Warrants shall give a bond satisfactory to the Offeror and the Depositary in such amount as the Offeror and the Depositary may direct, or otherwise indemnify the Offeror and the Depositary in a manner satisfactory to the Offeror and the Depositary, against any claim that may be made against the Offeror or the Depositary with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed and shall otherwise take such actions as may be required by the articles of the Company.

Section 4.2 Withholding Rights

The Offeror and the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from all dividends or other distributions otherwise payable to any Former Company Shareholder such amounts as the Offeror or the Depositary is required or permitted to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Tax Act, or any provision of any applicable federal, provincial, state, local or foreign tax law or treaty, in each case, as amended. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be

 

- 8 -


treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the Former Company Shareholder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.

Section 4.3 Limitation and Proscription

12. Adjustment to Exercise Price

The Exercise Price in effect at any time is subject to adjustment from time to time in the events and in the manner provided as follows:

 

  (a) If and whenever at any time after the date hereof the Company:

 

- 5 -


  (i) issues Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares to all or substantially all the holders of the Common Shares as a stock dividend; or

 

  (ii) makes a distribution on its outstanding Common Shares payable in Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares; or

 

  (iii) subdivides its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares; or

 

  (iv) consolidates its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares;

(any of such events being called a “Common Share Reorganization”), then the Exercise Price will be adjusted effective immediately after the effective date or record date for the happening of a Common Share Reorganization, as the case may be, at which the holders of Common Shares are determined for the purpose of the Common Share Reorganization by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such effective date or record date by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding on such effective date or record date before giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization and the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization (including, in the case where securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares are distributed, the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had all such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares on such effective date or record date).

 

  (b) If and whenever at any time after the date hereof the Company fixes a record date for the issue of rights, options or warrants to the holders of all or substantially all of its outstanding Common Shares under which such holders are entitled to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, where:

 

  (i) the right to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares, or the right to exchange securities for or convert securities into Common Shares, expires not more than 45 days after the date of such issue (the period from the record date to the date of expiry being herein in this Section 12 called the “Rights Period”), and

 

  (ii) the cost per Common Share during the Rights Period (inclusive of any cost of acquisition of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares in addition to any direct cost of Common Shares) (herein in this Section 12 called the “Per Share Cost”) is less than 95% of the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on the record date,

(any of such events being called a “Rights Offering”), then the Exercise Price will be adjusted effective immediately after the end of the Rights Period to a price determined by

 

- 6 -


multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the end of the Rights Period by a fraction:

 

  (A) the numerator of which is the aggregate of:

 

  (1) the number of Common Shares outstanding as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and

 

  (2) a number determined by dividing the product of the Per Share Cost and:

 

  (I) where the event giving rise to the application of this subsection 12(b) was the issue of rights, options or warrants to the holders of Common Shares under which such holders are entitled to subscribe for or purchase additional Common Shares, the number of Common Shares so subscribed for or purchased during the Rights Period, or

 

  (II) where the event giving rise to the application of this subsection 12(b) was the issue of rights, options or warrants to the holders of Common Shares under which such holders are entitled to subscribe for or purchase securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, the number of Common Shares for which those securities so subscribed for or purchased during the Rights Period could have been exchanged or into which they could have been converted during the Rights Period,

 

       by the Current Market Price of the Common Shares as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and

 

  (B) the denominator of which is:

 

  (1) in the case described in subparagraph 12(b)(A)(2)(I), the number of Common Shares outstanding, or

 

  (2) in the case described in subparagraph 12(b)(A)(2)(II), the number of Common Shares that would be outstanding if all the Common Shares described in subparagraph 12(b)(A)(2)(II) had been issued,

 

       as at the end of the Rights Period.

Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate (as defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) of the Company will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation.

If by the terms of the rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 12, there is more than one purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, the aggregate price of the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or

 

- 7 -


purchase, or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible securities so offered, will be calculated for purposes of the adjustment on the basis of:

 

  (I) the lowest purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, as the case may be, if such price is applicable to all Common Shares which are subject to the rights, options or warrants, and

 

  (II) the average purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, as the case may be, if the applicable price is determined by reference to the number of Common Shares acquired.

To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this Section 12 as a result of the fixing by the Company of a record date for the distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 12, the Exercise Price will be readjusted immediately after the expiration of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiration, and will be further readjusted in such manner upon expiration of any further such right.

If the Holder has exercised this Warrant in accordance herewith during the period beginning immediately after the record date for a Rights Offering and ending on the last day of the Rights Period therefor (the “Entitlement Period”), the Holder will, in addition to the Common Shares to which it is otherwise entitled upon such exercise, be entitled to that number of additional Common Shares equal to the result obtained when (A) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the end of such Rights Offering pursuant to this subsection is multiplied by the number of Common Shares received upon the exercise of this Warrant during such period, (B) the resulting product is divided by the Exercise Price as adjusted for such Rights Offering pursuant to this subsection, and (C) the number of Common Shares acquired by the Holder during the Entitlement Period in accordance with the terms hereof is subtracted from the resulting divided product; provided that the provisions of Section 7 will be applicable to any fractional interest in a Common Share to which such Holder might otherwise be entitled. Such additional Common Shares will be deemed to have been issued to the Holder immediately following the end of the Rights Period and a certificate for such additional Common Shares will be delivered to such Holder within ten (10) Business Days following the end of the Rights Period.

 

  (c) If and whenever at any time after the date hereof the Company fixes a record date for the issue or the distribution to the holders of all or substantially all its Common Shares of:

 

  (i) shares of the Company of any class other than Common Shares;

 

  (ii) rights, options or warrants to acquire shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares or property or other assets of the Company;

 

- 8 -


  (iii) evidence of indebtedness; or

 

  (iv) any property or other assets,

and if such issuance or distribution does not constitute (A) a Common Share Reorganization, (B) a Rights Offering or (C) the issue of rights, options or warrants to the holders of all or substantially all of its outstanding Common Shares under which such holders are entitled to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, where:

 

  (a) the right to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares, or the right to exchange securities for or convert securities into Common Shares, expires not more than 45 days after the date of such issue, and

 

  (b) the cost per Common Share during the Rights Period, inclusive of the Per Share Cost, is 95% or more than the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on the record date

(any of such non-excluded events being called a “Special Distribution”), the Exercise Price will be adjusted effective immediately after such record date to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction:

 

  (C) the numerator of which is:

 

  (1) the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date; less

 

  (2) the aggregate fair market value (as determined by action by the directors of the Company, subject, however, to the prior written consent of the Toronto Stock Exchange, where required) to the holders of the Common Shares of such securities or property or other assets so issued or distributed in the Special Distribution; and

 

  (D) the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date.

Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate (as defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) of the Company will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation.

 

  (d)

If and whenever at any time after the date hereof there is a Common Share Reorganization, a Rights Offering, a Special Distribution, a reclassification or redesignation of the Common Shares outstanding at any time or change of the Common Shares into other shares or into other securities (other than a Common Share Reorganization), or a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity (other than a consolidation, amalgamation or merger which does not result in any

 

- 9 -


  reclassification or redesignation of the outstanding Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other shares), or a transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or other entity (any of such events being called a “Capital Reorganization”), the Holder, upon exercising this Warrant after the effective date of such Capital Reorganization, will be entitled to receive in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which such Holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise, the aggregate number of shares, other securities or other property which such Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which such Holder was theretofore entitled upon exercise of this Warrant. If determined appropriate by action of the directors of the Company, appropriate adjustments will be made as a result of any such Capital Reorganization in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 12 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 12 will thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be in relation to any shares, other securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. Any such adjustment must be made by and set forth in an amendment to this Warrant approved by action by the directors of the Company and will for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.

 

  (e) If at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time any adjustment in the Exercise Price shall occur as a result of:

 

  (i) an event referred to in subsection 12(a);

 

  (ii) the fixing by the Company of a record date for an event referred to in subsection 12(b); or

 

  (iii) the fixing by the Company of a record date for an event referred to in subsection 12(c) if such event constitutes the issue or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of its outstanding Common Shares of (A) Equity Shares, or (B) securities exchangeable for or convertible into Equity Shares at an exchange or conversion price per Equity Shares less than the Current Market Price on such record date or (C) rights, options or warrants to acquire Equity Shares at an exercise, exchange or conversion price per Equity Share less than the Current Market Price on such record date,

then the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the subsequent exercise of this Warrant shall be simultaneously adjusted by multiplying the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction which shall be the reciprocal of the fraction employed in the adjustment of the Exercise Price. To the extent any adjustment in subscription rights occurs pursuant to (i) this subsection 12(e) as a result of a distribution of exchangeable or convertible securities

 

- 10 -


other than Equity Shares referred to in subsection 12(a), or (ii) as a result of the fixing by the Company of a record date for the distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to in subsection 12(b), the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be readjusted immediately after the expiration of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the number of Common Shares which would be purchasable based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable immediately after such expiration, and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon expiration of any further such right. To the extent that any adjustment in subscription rights occurs pursuant to this subsection 12(e) as a result of the fixing by the Company of a record date for the distribution of exchangeable or convertible securities other than Equity Shares or rights, options or warrants referred to in subsection 12(c), the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be readjusted immediately after the expiration of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the number which would be purchasable pursuant to this subsection 12(e) if the fair market value of such securities or such rights, options or warrants had been determined for purposes of the adjustment pursuant to this subsection 12(e) on the basis of the number of Equity Shares issued and remaining issuable immediately after such expiration, and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon expiration of any further such right.

 

13. Rules Regarding Calculation of Adjustment of Exercise Price

 

  (a) The adjustments provided for in Section 12 are cumulative and will, in the case of adjustments to the Exercise Price, be computed to the nearest one-tenth of one cent and will be made successively whenever an event referred to therein occurs, subject to the following subsections of this Section 13.

 

  (b) No adjustment in the Exercise Price is required to be made unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% in the prevailing Exercise Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which, except for the provisions of this subsection, would otherwise have been required to be made, will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustments.

 

  (c) No adjustment in the Exercise Price will be made in respect of any event described in Section 12, other than the events referred to in clauses 12(a)(iii) and (iv), if the Holder is entitled to participate in such event on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as if the Holder had exercised this Warrant prior to or on the effective date or record date of such event.

 

  (d) No adjustment in the Exercise Price will be made under Section 12 in respect of the issue from time to time of Common Shares issuable from time to time as dividends paid in the ordinary course to holders of Common Shares who exercise an option or election to receive substantially equivalent dividends in Common Shares in lieu of receiving a cash dividend, and any such issue will be deemed not to be a Common Share Reorganization.

 

- 11 -


  (e) If at any time a dispute arises with respect to adjustments provided for in Section 12, such dispute will be conclusively determined by the auditors of the Company or if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such other firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by action by the directors of the Company and any such determination, where required, will be binding upon the Company, the Holder and shareholders of the Company. The Company will provide such auditors or accountants with access to all necessary records of the Company.

 

  (f) In case the Company after the date of issuance of this Warrant takes any action affecting the Common Shares, other than action described in Section 12, which in the opinion of the board of directors of the Company would materially affect the rights of the Holder, the Exercise Price will be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time, by action by the directors of the Company but subject in all cases to the prior written consent of the Toronto Stock Exchange, where required, and any necessary regulatory approval. Failure of the taking of action by the directors of the Company so as to provide for an adjustment on or prior to the effective date of any action by the Company affecting the Common Shares will be conclusive evidence that the board of directors of the Company has determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances.

 

  (g) If the Company sets a record date to determine the holders of the Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or distribution or sets a record date to take any other action and, thereafter and before the distribution to such shareholders of any such dividend or distribution or the taking of any other action, decides not to implement its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution or take such other action, then no adjustment in the Exercise Price will be required by reason of the setting of such record date.

 

  (h) In the absence of a resolution of the directors of the Company fixing a record date for a Special Distribution or Rights Offering, the Company will be deemed to have fixed as the record date therefor the date on which the Special Distribution or Rights Offering is effected.

 

  (i) As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require any adjustment to this Warrant, including the Exercise Price, the Company must take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company have unissued and reserved in its authorized capital and may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all the shares or other securities which the Holder is entitled to receive on the full exercise thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof.

 

  (j) The Company will from time to time, immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in Section 12, forthwith give notice to the Holder specifying the event requiring such adjustment or readjustment and the results thereof, including the resulting Exercise Price.

 

- 12 -


  (k) The Company covenants to and in favour of the Holder that so long as this Warrant remains outstanding, it will give notice to the Holder of its intention to fix a record date for any event referred to in subsections 12(a), (b) or (c) (other than the subdivision or consolidation of the Common Shares) which may give rise to an adjustment in the Exercise Price, and, in each case, such notice must specify the particulars of such event and the record date or the effective date for such event; provided that the Company is only required to specify in such notice such particulars of such event as have been fixed and determined on the date on which such notice is given. Such notice shall be given not less than 14 days prior to each such applicable record date or effective date.

 

14. Consolidation and Amalgamation

 

  (a) The Company shall not enter into any transaction whereby all or substantially all of its undertaking, property and assets would become the property of any other corporation (herein called a “successor corporation”) whether by way of reorganization, reconstruction, consolidation, amalgamation, merger, transfer, sale, disposition or otherwise, unless prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of such transaction the Company and the successor corporation shall have executed such instruments and done such things as, in the opinion of counsel to the Holder, are necessary or advisable to establish that upon the consummation of such transaction:

 

  (i) the successor corporation will have assumed all the covenants and obligations of the Company under this Warrant, and

 

  (ii) the Warrant will be a valid and binding obligation of the successor corporation entitling the Holder, as against the successor corporation, to all the rights of the Holder under this Warrant, mutatis mutandis.

 

  (b) Whenever the conditions of subsection 14(a) shall have been duly observed and performed the successor corporation shall possess, and from time to time may exercise, each and every right and power of the Company under this Warrant in the name of the Company or otherwise and any act or proceeding by any provision hereof required to be done or performed by any director or officer of the Company may be done and performed with like force and effect by the like directors or officers of the successor corporation.

 

15. Representation and Warranty

The Company hereby represents and warrants with and to the Holder that the Company is duly authorized and has the corporate and lawful power and authority to create and issue this Warrant and the Common Shares issuable upon the exercise hereof and perform its obligations hereunder and that this Warrant represents a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

- 13 -


16. If Share Transfer Books Closed

The Company shall not be required to deliver certificates for Common Shares while the share transfer books of the Company are properly closed, prior to any meeting of shareholders or for the payment of dividends or for any other purpose and in the event of the surrender of any Warrant in accordance with the provisions hereof and the making of any subscription and payment for the Common Shares called for thereby during any such period, delivery of certificates for Common Shares may be postponed for a period of time not exceeding three (3) Business Days after the date of the re-opening of said share transfer books. Provided however that any such postponement of delivery of certificates shall be without prejudice to the right of the Holder, if the Holder has surrendered the same and made payment during such period, to receive such certificates for the Common Shares called for after the share transfer books have been re-opened.

 

17. Lost Certificate

Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this certificate evidencing the Warrants and, if requested by the Company, upon delivery of a bond of indemnity satisfactory to the Company, acting reasonably (or, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender of this certificate evidencing the Warrants), the Company will issue to the holder a replacement certificate (containing the same terms and conditions as this certificate evidencing the Warrants).

 

18. Governing Law

This Warrant shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein but the reference to such laws shall not, by conflict of laws rules or otherwise, require the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the Province of Ontario. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably attorn to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the Province of Ontario.

 

19. Severability

If any one or more of the provisions or parts thereof contained in this Warrant should be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, the remaining provisions or parts thereof contained herein shall be and shall be conclusively deemed to be, as to such jurisdiction, severable therefrom and:

 

  (a) the validity, legality or enforceability of such remaining provisions or parts thereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired by the severance of the provisions or parts thereof severed; and

 

  (b) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision or part thereof contained in this Warrant in any jurisdiction shall not affect or impair such provision or part thereof or any other provisions of this Warrant in any other jurisdiction.
