4.2           Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity.  The Company shall, by 8:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately following the date hereof, issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and furnish a Report on Form 6-K disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and including the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto within the time required by the U.S. Exchange Act.  From and after the issuance of such press release, the Company shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to any of the Purchasers by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.  The Company and the Purchasers shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of the Purchasers, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents (including signature pages thereto) with the Commission (b) to Canadian Securities Regulators in accordance with Canadian Securities Laws, (c) the Canadian Revenue Agency, (d) to the extent such disclosure is otherwise required by law or Trading Market regulations and (e) to the Transfer Agent.  In the event that disclosure of a Purchaser’s name is required hereunder, the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure.
 
4.3           Shareholder Rights Plan.  No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement or shareholder rights plan) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents.
 
4.4           Non-Public Information.  Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the information contained in the Third Quarter Financial Information, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf, will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information.  The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
 
4.5           Use of Proceeds.  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6 of the Disclosure Schedule, the Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Units hereunder for working capital purposes and shall not use such proceeds for: (a) the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior practices), (b) the redemption of any Common Shares or Common Share Equivalents, (c) the settlement of any outstanding litigation or (d) in violation of the FCPA regulations.

4.6           Indemnification of Purchasers.   Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.7, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur (but excluding loss of profits) as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against a Purchaser in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any shareholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser may have with any such shareholder or any violations by such Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance).  If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party.  Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel.  The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others, and (y) any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.
 
4.7           Reservation of Common Shares. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of Common Shares for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue the Common Shares included in the Units issued pursuant to this Agreement and 130% of the maximum number of the Warrant Shares issuable upon any exercise of the Warrants.

 
26

 

4.8           Listing of Common Shares. The Company hereby agrees to use reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Shares on each of the Trading Markets on which they are currently listed, and prior to or concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote all of the Common Shares included in the Units and Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants on each such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Common Shares included in the Units and Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants on such Trading Markets. The Company further agrees that, if the Company applies to have the Common Shares listed or quoted on any other Trading Market, it will include in such application all of the Common Shares included in the Units and Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Common Shares included in the Units and Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. If the Common Shares are accepted for trading on such other Trading Market, the Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Shares on such Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of such Trading Market.
 
4.9         Subsequent Equity Sales.
 
(a)           From the date hereof until 90 days after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Share or Common Share Equivalents in which the consideration per Common Share is, or is deemed to be (as contemplated below), less thatn Cdn.$0.30 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalization or similar events); provided, that the consideration per Common Shares in connection with any Common Share Equivalents will be deemed to be the lowest price per share for which one Common Share is issuable upon the exercise, conversion, or exchange of such Common Share Equivalent.
 
(b)           From the date hereof until the date that is 24 months from the Closing Date, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Shares or Common Share Equivalents involving a Variable Rate Transaction.  “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional Common Shares either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the Common Shares at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Shares (but not including any routine anti-dilution protections in any warrant or convertible security) or (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may sell securities at a future determined price.  Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.  This provision is for the benefit of the Purchasers and may be waived by the Purchasers by their express written consent.

 
27

 
 
(c)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 4.09(a) shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance and no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance.
 
4.10       Equal Treatment of Purchasers.  No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the applicable Transaction Documents.  For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.
 
4.11       Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.2.  Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.2, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Disclosure Schedule.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.2, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.2 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 4.2.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.
 
4.12       Placement Agent’s Fee.  The Company and the Purchasers acknowledge that pursuant to the Placement Agent Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay to the Placement Agent in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement a Placement Agent fee consisting of a cash commission of 6% of the gross aggregate Subscription Amount paid to the Company by the Purchasers.

(a)      Mechanics of Exercise.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any time or times on or after the Initial Exercisability Date, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Exercise Notice"), of the Holder's election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the "Aggregate Exercise Price") in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (B) by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)), if available to the Holder at the time of exercise pursuant to the provisions of Section 1(d).  The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder.  Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.  On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Notice to the Holder and the Company's transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent").  On or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice (the "Share Delivery Date"), so long as the Holder delivers the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise, if available pursuant to Section 1(d)) on or prior to the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall either (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company's share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Common Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise.  The Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent and all fees and expenses with respect to the issuance of Warrant Shares via DTC, if any.  Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Notice, so long as the Holder delivers the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise, if available pursuant to Section 1(d)) on or prior to the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder's DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be.  If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.  No fractional Common Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Common Shares to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.  The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.
 
(b)      Exercise Price.  For purposes of this Warrant, "Exercise Price" means  Cdn.$0.40, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 
A-2

 

(c)      Company's Failure to Timely Deliver Securities.  If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the Holder within three (3) Trading Days of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Notice, so long as the Holder delivers the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of Cashless Exercise, if available under Section 1(d)) on or prior to the Share Delivery Date, a certificate for the number of Common Shares to which the Holder is entitled and register such Common Shares on the Company's share register or to credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for such number of Common Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's exercise of this Warrant, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after such third (3rd) Trading Day that the issuance of such Common Shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 1.5% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of Common Shares not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have issued such Common Shares to the Holder without violating Section 1(a).  In addition to the foregoing, if within three (3) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of the facsimile copy of an Exercise Notice, so long as the Holder delivers the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of Cashless Exercise, if available pursuant to Section 1(d)) on or prior to the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder and register such Common Shares on the Company's share register or credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for the number of Common Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's exercise hereunder or pursuant to the Company's obligation pursuant to clause (ii) below, and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Common Shares issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder's request and in the Holder's discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the Common Shares so purchased (the "Buy-In Price"), at which point the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Shares) or credit such Holder's balance account with DTC shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Shares or credit such Holder's balance account with DTC and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of Common Shares, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the date of exercise.
 
(d)      Securities Restrictions and Cashless Exercise.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Warrant, no Warrant Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of any Warrant if the issuance of such securities would constitute a violation of the securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company.  The Company agrees to promptly notify the Holder in writing, but in any event within 2 Trading Days, if a Registration Statement (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) ceases to be effective under the U.S. Securities Act or can no longer be relied upon for the exercise of the Warrants.  The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to undertake such actions as are necessary to bring a Registration Statement effective, and will promptly provide notice with the Holder in writing within 2 Trading Days of a Registration Statement being effective under the U.S. Securities Act.  If and only if, at the time of exercise of this Warrant, a Registration Statement is not effective and no commission or other remuneration has been paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exercise, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the "Net Number" of Common Shares determined according to the following formula (a "Cashless Exercise"):

 
A-3

 

Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)
 
  B
 
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
 
A=
the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.
 
B=
the Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares (as reported by Bloomberg)  for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.
 
 
C=
the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

(e)      Disputes.  In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 12.
 
(f)       Limitations on Exercises.  The Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such Person (together with such Person's affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the "Maximum Percentage") of the Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of Common Shares beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates shall include the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude Common Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act").  For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding Common Shares, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as reflected in (1) the Company's most recent Form 20-F or Form 6-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Common Shares outstanding.  For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the SPA Warrants, by the Holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding Common Shares was reported.  By written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of SPA Warrants.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(f) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

 
A-4

 

(g)      Insufficient Authorized Shares.  If at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved Common Shares to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant at least a number of Common Shares equal to 100% (the "Required Reserve Amount") of the number of Common Shares as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of this Warrant then outstanding (an "Authorized Share Failure"), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company's authorized Common Shares to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for this Warrant then outstanding.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its shareholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized Common Shares.  In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each shareholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its shareholders' approval of such increase in authorized Common Shares and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the shareholders that they approve such proposal.
 
2.      ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES.  The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
 
(a)      Voluntary Adjustment By Company.  Subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
(b)      Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Shares.  If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased.  If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date  combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased.  Any adjustment under this Section 2(b) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 
A-5

 

(c)      Other Events.  Subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange, if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions, then the Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares so as to protect the rights of the Holder.
 
3.      RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS.  In substitution for any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, at the sole election of the Holder, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a "Distribution"), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, upon an exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, the Holder will be entitled to receive the amount of any such Distribution that the Holder would have received if the Holder had held, immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the declaration or payment of the Distribution, or, if no such record date is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the declaration or payment of the Distribution, the number of Common Shares that the Holder is entitled to receive  upon such exercise (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Warrant).
 
4.      PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.
 
(a)      Purchase Rights.  If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Shares (the "Purchase Rights"), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Common Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 
A-6

 

(b)      Fundamental Transactions.  The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section (4)(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of the SPA Warrants in exchange for such Warrants a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, an adjusted exercise price equal to the value for the Common Shares reflected by the terms of such Fundamental Transaction, and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the Common Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and satisfactory to the Required Holders.  Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.  Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the Common Shares (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the publicly traded common stock or common shares (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.  In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Shares (a "Corporate Event"), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Corporate Event but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of Common Shares (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Corporate Event, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Corporate Event had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Event.  Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders.  The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant.
 
(c)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, at the request of the Holder delivered before the ninetieth (90th) day after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or the Successor Entity) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within five (5) Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the 5-day Volume Weighted Price of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant less the Aggregate Exercise Price for the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant as calculated on the date of such Fundamental Transaction.
 
5.      NONCIRCUMVENTION.  The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any Common Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as any of the SPA Warrants are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the SPA Warrants, 100% of the number of Common Shares as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of the SPA Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

 
A-7

 

6.      WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A SHAREHOLDER.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant.  In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.  Notwithstanding this Section 6, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the shareholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the shareholders.
 
7.      REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS.
 
(a)      Transfer of Warrant.  If this Warrant is to be transferred pursuant to Section 14, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 14, the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the total number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares not being transferred.
 
(b)      Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant.

 
A-8

 

(c)      Exchangeable for Multiple Warrants.  This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant Shares as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender; provided, however, that no Warrants for fractional Common Shares shall be given.
 
(d)      Issuance of New Warrants.  Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 7(a) or Section 7(c), the Warrant Shares designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of Common Shares underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant.
 
8.      NOTICES.  Whenever notice is required to be given under this Warrant, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 5.5 of the Securities  Purchase Agreement.  The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Warrant, including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefor.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will give written notice to the Holder (i) immediately upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment and (ii) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Shares, (B) with respect to any grants, issuances or sales of any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property to holders of Common Shares or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation, provided in each case that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holder.
 
9.      AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Warrant may be amended and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the Holder and subject to the approval to the Toronto Stock Exchange.
 
10.    GOVERNING LAW.  This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York.

11.    CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS; CURRENCY.  This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all the Buyers and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter hereof.  The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Warrant.  Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement are in Canadian dollars.  All amounts owing hereunder shall be paid in Canadian dollars.  All amounts denominated in other currencies shall be converted in the Canadian dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation.  "Exchange Rate" means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into Canadian dollars pursuant to this Agreement, the Canadian dollar exchange rate as published in The Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation.

13.    REMEDIES, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.  The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant.  The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate.  The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
 
14.    TRANSFER.  No transfer of the Warrants will be made on the books and records of the Company unless this Warrant Certificate, accompanied by a duly executed Transfer Form, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, are delivered to the Company.  No transfer of the Warrants will be made if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company such transfer would result in the violation of any applicable securities laws.  Subject to the foregoing provisions regarding transfers in violation of applicable securities laws, the Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without the consent of the Company.

 
A-10

 

15.    SEVERABILITY.  If any provision of this Warrant is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Warrant so long as this Warrant as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties.  The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

Warrant To Purchase Common Shares

Warrant No.:  ________
Number of Shares of Common Shares:_____________
Date of Issuance: November [___], 2010 ("Issuance Date")

Dejour Enterprises Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (the "Company"), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the "Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon surrender of this Warrant to Purchase Common Shares (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Shares issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the "Warrant"), at any time or times on or after the date hereof (the "Initial Exercisability Date"), but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), 2,321,428 fully paid nonassessable Common Shares, without par value, subject to adjustment as provided herein (the "Warrant Shares").  Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 16.  This Warrant is one of the Warrants to purchase Common Shares (the "SPA Warrants") issued pursuant to Article II of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 14, 2010 (the "Subscription Date"), by and among the Company and the investors (the "Buyers") referred to therein (the "Securities Purchase Agreement").
 
 
A-18

 
 
1.      EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
 
(a)     Mechanics of Exercise.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any time or times on or after the Initial Exercisability Date, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Exercise Notice"), of the Holder's election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the "Aggregate Exercise Price") in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds.  The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder.  Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.  On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Notice to the Holder and the Company's transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent").  On or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice (the "Share Delivery Date"), so long as the Holder delivers the Aggregate Exercise Price on or prior to the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall either (X) provided that (i) the holder of the Warrant  represents that (1) it did not acquire the Warrants in the United States or at a time when it was a U.S. Person or acting for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person or a person in the United States, (2) it is not at the time of exercise in the United States or a U.S. Person, (3) the Warrants are not being exercised for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person or a person in the United States, and (4) this Exercise Notice was not executed or delivered in the United States, or (ii) the Warrant is being exercised by the Offshore Purchaser as principal for its own account in an “offshore transaction” within the meaning of Rule 902 of Regulation S and the representations and warranties of the Offshore Purchaser made in Appendix B to the Securities Purchase Agreement are true and correct in relation to the exercise of the Warrants as of the date of exercise thereof and the Offshore Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company as such by checking box (B) in Section 4 of the Exercise Notice delivered to the Company upon such exercise, and (iii) the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system, or (Y) if the Warrant is not being exercised in accordance with (X)(i) or (ii) above or the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company's share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Common Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise.  The Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent and all fees and expenses with respect to the issuance of Warrant Shares via DTC, if any.  Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Notice, so long as the Holder delivers the Aggregate Exercise Price on or prior to the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder's DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be.  If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.  No fractional Common Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Common Shares to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.  The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

 
A-19

 

(b)     Exercise Price.  For purposes of this Warrant, "Exercise Price" means  Cdn.$0.40, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
 
(c)     Company's Failure to Timely Deliver Securities.  If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the Holder within three (3) Trading Days of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Notice, so long as the Holder delivers the Aggregate Exercise Price on or prior to the Share Delivery Date, a certificate for the number of Common Shares to which the Holder is entitled and register such Common Shares on the Company's share register or to credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for such number of Common Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's exercise of this Warrant, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after such third (3rd) Trading Day that the issuance of such Common Shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 1.5% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of Common Shares not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have issued such Common Shares to the Holder without violating Section 1(a).  In addition to the foregoing, if within three (3) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of the facsimile copy of an Exercise Notice, so long as the Holder delivers the Aggregate Exercise Price on or prior to the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder and register such Common Shares on the Company's share register or credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for the number of Common Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's exercise hereunder or pursuant to the Company's obligation pursuant to clause (ii) below, and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Common Shares issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder's request and in the Holder's discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the Common Shares so purchased (the "Buy-In Price"), at which point the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Shares) or credit such Holder's balance account with DTC shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Shares or credit such Holder's balance account with DTC and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of Common Shares, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the date of exercise.

 
A-20

 

(d)     Securities Restrictions.  The Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate and the Common Shares deliverable upon exercise thereof have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States. This Warrant may not be exercised in the United States or by, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. Person and the underlying Common Shares may not be delivered within the United States unless this Warrant and the underlying Common Shares have been registered under the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws or an exemption or exclusion from such registration requirements is available and the Company has received evidence in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, which evidence may include, without limitation, an opinion of counsel of recognized standing, to the effect that exercise of the Warrant and issuance of the Warrant Shares is exempt or excluded from registration under the U.S. Securities Act (it being acknowledged and agreed to that Schulte, Roth & Zabel LLP is a counsel of recognized standing), provided that if the Warrant is being exercised by the Offshore Purchaser as principal for its own account in an “offshore transaction” within the meaning of Rule 902 of Regulation S, where the representations and warranties of the Offshore Purchaser made in Appendix B to the Securities Purchase Agreement are true and correct in relation to the exercise of the Warrants as of the date of exercise thereof and the Offshore Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company as such by checking box (B) in Section 4 of the Exercise Notice delivered to the Company upon such exercise, no further evidence for the exercise of the Warrants or the issuance of the Warrant Shares will be required.  Unless (i) registered under the U.S. Securities Act or (ii) exercised pursuant to an “offshore transaction” within the meaning of Rule 902 of Regulation S at a time when the Company is a “foreign issuer” as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S and where the Company has received reasonably satisfactory evidence as required for such exercise, as detailed above in this Section 1(d), the certificates representing the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall bear a legend restricting transfer of the Common Shares under the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws.
 
(e)     Disputes.  In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 12.
 
(f)      Limitations on Exercises.  The Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such Person (together with such Person's affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the "Maximum Percentage") of the Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of Common Shares beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates shall include the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude Common Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act").  For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding Common Shares, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as reflected in (1) the Company's most recent Form 20-F or Form 6-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Common Shares outstanding.  For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the SPA Warrants, by the Holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding Common Shares was reported.  By written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of SPA Warrants.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(f) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

 
A-21

 

(g)     Insufficient Authorized Shares.  If at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved Common Shares to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant at least a number of Common Shares equal to 100% (the "Required Reserve Amount") of the number of Common Shares as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of this Warrant then outstanding (an "Authorized Share Failure"), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company's authorized Common Shares to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for this Warrant then outstanding.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its shareholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized Common Shares.  In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each shareholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its shareholders' approval of such increase in authorized Common Shares and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the shareholders that they approve such proposal.
 
2.      ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES.  The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
 
(a)     Voluntary Adjustment By Company.  Subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.

 
A-22

 

(b)     Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Shares.  If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased.  If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date  combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased.  Any adjustment under this Section 2(b) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
 
(c)     Other Events.  Subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange, if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions, then the Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares so as to protect the rights of the Holder.
 
3.      RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS.  In substitution for any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, at the sole election of the Holder, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a "Distribution"), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, upon an exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, the Holder will be entitled to receive the amount of any such Distribution that the Holder would have received if the Holder had held, immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the declaration or payment of the Distribution, or, if no such record date is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the declaration or payment of the Distribution, the number of Common Shares that the Holder is entitled to receive  upon such exercise (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Warrant).
 
4.      PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.
 
(a)     Purchase Rights.  If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Shares (the "Purchase Rights"), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Common Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 
A-23

 

(b)     Fundamental Transactions.  The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section (4)(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of the SPA Warrants in exchange for such Warrants a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, an adjusted exercise price equal to the value for the Common Shares reflected by the terms of such Fundamental Transaction, and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the Common Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and satisfactory to the Required Holders.  Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.  Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the Common Shares (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the publicly traded common stock or common shares (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.  In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Shares (a "Corporate Event"), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Corporate Event but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of Common Shares (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Corporate Event, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Corporate Event had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Event.  Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders.  The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant.
 
(c)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, at the request of the Holder delivered before the ninetieth (90th) day after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or the Successor Entity) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within five (5) Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the 5-day Volume Weighted Price of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant less the Aggregate Exercise Price for the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant as calculated on the date of such Fundamental Transaction.

APPENDIX C
 
This is Appendix C to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of November 14, 2010 among Dejour Enterprises Ltd., and .

CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
 
The following summary describes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a purchaser who acquires, as a beneficial owner, Units  pursuant to this Offering and who, at all relevant times, for the purposes of the application of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the Income Tax Regulations (collectively, the “Tax Act”), deals at arm’s length with the Company; is not affiliated with the Company, the Underwriters or a subsequent holder of the Shares and Warrants; and holds the Shares and Warrants as capital property (a “Holder”).  Generally, the Shares and Warrants will be capital property to a Holder provided the Holder does not acquire or hold those Shares or Warrants in the course of carrying on a business or as part of an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.
 
This summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act and the current published administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) published in writing prior to the date hereof. This summary also takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act and Regulations publicly announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (collectively, the “Tax Proposals”) and assumes all Tax Proposals will be enacted in the form proposed. There is no certainty that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in the form proposed, if at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in laws or administrative policy or assessing practice whether by judicial, regulatory, administrative or legislative decision or action nor does it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign income tax legislation or considerations.
 
This summary is of a general nature only and is not, and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular purchaser of Units.  This summary is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations.  Accordingly, purchasers should consult their own tax advisors regarding the income tax consequences of purchasing Units based on their particular circumstances.
 
Holders Resident in Canada
 
This portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for the purposes of the Tax Act is, or is deemed to be, resident in Canada (a “Resident Holder”). Certain Resident Holders may be entitled to make, or may have already made, the irrevocable election permitted by subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act the effect of which may be to deem to be capital property any Shares and all other “Canadian securities” (as defined in the Tax Act) owned by such Resident Holder in the taxation year in which the election is made and in all subsequent taxation years.  Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors for advice as to whether an election under subsection 39(4) is available and/or advisable in their particular circumstances.

 
AC-1

 
 
This portion of the summary is not applicable to a Holder that is a “specified financial institution”; a Holder an interest in which is a “tax shelter investment”; a Holder that is a “financial institution” for purposes of the mark-to-market rules contained in the Tax Act; or a Holder that has made a “functional currency” reporting election, each as defined in the Tax Act. Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors.
 
Acquisition of Shares and Warrants
 
A Resident Holder must allocate the total purchase price of Cdn.$0.28 for a Unit on a reasonable basis between the Share and the Warrant to determine the cost of each for its purposes under the Tax Act. For its own purposes, the Company intends to allocate Cdn.$0.08 to the Warrant and Cdn.$0.20 to the Share of the $0.28 issue price of each Unit for its purposes under the Tax Act. Although the Company believes its allocation is reasonable, it is not binding on the Resident Holder or the CRA. The Resident Holder’s adjusted cost base of the Share comprising a part of each Unit will be determined by averaging the cost allocated to the Share with the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of all other Shares owned by the Resident Holder (other than certain Shares acquired under the Company’s employee stock option plan, if any) immediately prior to such acquisition.
 
Exercise of Warrants
 
Where a Resident Holder exercises a Warrant to acquire a Share, no gain or loss will arise for purposes of the Tax Act. The Resident Holder’s cost of the Share acquired on the exercise of the Warrant will be equal to the adjusted cost base of the Warrant and the exercise price paid for the Share. The Resident Holder’s adjusted cost base of the Share acquired on the exercise of the Warrant will be determined by averaging the cost allocated to the Share with the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of all other Shares owned by the Resident Holder (other than certain Shares acquired under the Company’s employee stock option plan, if any) immediately prior to such acquisition.
 
Disposition and Expiry of Warrants
 
On a disposition or deemed disposition of a Warrant (other than on the exercise thereof), a Resident Holder will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of the Warrant immediately before the disposition or the deemed disposition. If an unexercised Warrant expires, the Resident Holder will realize a capital loss equal to the Resident Holder’s adjusted cost base of the unexercised, expired Warrant. The tax treatment of capital gains and capital losses is discussed in greater detail under the heading “Dispositions of Shares”.

 
AC-2

 
 
Dividends
 
A Resident Holder will be required to include in computing its income for a taxation year any dividends received or deemed to be received on the Shares. In the case of a Resident Holder that is an individual (other than certain trusts), such dividends will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules applicable to taxable dividends received or deemed to be received from taxable Canadian corporations, including the enhanced gross-up and dividend tax credit applicable to any dividends designated by us as “eligible dividends” in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act.  Although the Company currently anticipates that all dividends to Resident Holders will be designated as “eligible dividends”, it is possible that such dividends may not be so designated. A dividend received by a Resident Holder that is a corporation must be included in computing its income but generally will be deductible in computing the corporation’s taxable income.
 
A Resident Holder that is a “private corporation”, as defined in the Tax Act, or any other corporation controlled, whether because of a beneficial interest in one or more trusts or otherwise, by or for the benefit of an individual (other than a trust) or a related group of individuals (other than trusts) will generally be liable to pay a refundable tax of 331⁄3% under Part IV of the Tax Act on dividends received on the Shares to the extent such dividends are deductible in computing the Resident Holder’s taxable income for the year.
 
Dispositions
 
Generally, on a disposition or deemed disposition of a Share, a Resident Holder will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of the Share immediately before the disposition or the deemed disposition.
 
Generally, a Resident Holder is required to include in computing its income for a taxation year one-half of the amount of any capital gain (a “taxable capital gain”) realized in the year. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act, a Resident Holder is required to deduct one-half of the amount of any capital loss (an “allowable capital loss”) realized in a taxation year from taxable capital gains realized by the Resident Holder in the year. Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward and deducted in any subsequent taxation year against net taxable capital gains realized in such years, to the extent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act.
 
The amount of any capital loss realized by a Resident Holder that is a corporation on the disposition or deemed disposition of a Share may be reduced by the amount of dividends received or deemed to have been received by it on such share, to the extent and in the circumstances prescribed by the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where a Share is owned by a partnership or trust of which a corporation, trust or partnership is a member or beneficiary. Resident Holders to whom these rules may be relevant should consult their own tax advisors.
 
A Holder that is throughout the year a “Canadian-controlled private corporation”, as defined in the Tax Act, is liable for tax, a portion of which may be refundable, on investment income, including taxable capital gains realized and dividends received in respect of the Shares (but not dividends that are deductible in computing taxable income).

 
AC-3

 
 
Alternative Minimum Tax
 
Capital gains realized on the disposition of Shares or Warrants by a Resident Holder who is an individual or a trust may give rise to a liability to pay alternative minimum tax.
 
Eligibility for Investment
 
The Shares would, if issued on the date hereof and listed on a “designated stock exchange”, as defined in the Tax Act, (which includes the TSX) be qualified investments under the Tax Act for a trust governed by a registered retirement savings plan, registered retirement income fund, registered education savings plan, deferred profit sharing plan, registered disability savings plan (collectively, the “Deferred Plans”) and a tax-free savings account (“TFSA”).
 
If the Shares are qualified investments for Deferred Plans and a TFSA, generally the Warrants should also be qualified investments for Deferred Plans and a TFSA.
 
Notwithstanding that the Shares or Warrants may be a qualified investment for a trust governed by a TFSA, the holder of a TFSA will be subject to a penalty tax on the Shares or Warrants held in the TFSA if such Shares or Warrants are a “prohibited investment” for that TFSA.  The Shares and Warrants will generally be a “prohibited investment” if the holder of the TFSA does not deal at arm’s length with the Company for the purposes of the Tax Act or the holder of the TFSA has a “significant interest” (within the meaning of the Tax Act) in the Company or a corporation, partnership or trust with which the Company does not deal at arm’s length for the purposes of the Tax Act.
 
Holders Not Resident in Canada
 
This portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the application of the Tax Act, is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada and does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, the Shares in a business carried on in Canada (a “Non-Resident Holder”).  Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a Non-Resident Holder that is an insurer that carries on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere.
 
Dividends
 
Dividends paid or credited or deemed to be paid or credited to a Non-Resident Holder by the Company will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25%, subject to any reduction in the rate of withholding to which the Non-Resident Holder is entitled under any applicable income tax convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Resident Holder is resident. For example, where the Non-Resident Holder is a resident of the United States and is entitled to benefits under the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980) and is the beneficial owner of the dividends, the applicable rate of Canadian withholding tax is generally reduced to 15%.

 
AC-4

 
 
Dispositions
 
A Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on any capital gain realized on a disposition of a Share or Warrant, unless the Share or Warrant is or is deemed to be “taxable Canadian property” to the Non-Resident Holder for the purposes of the Tax Act and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Resident Holder is resident.
 
Generally, provided the Shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange” as defined in the Tax Act (which includes the TSX) at the time of disposition, the Shares will not constitute taxable Canadian property of a Non-Resident Holder, unless at any time during the 60-month period immediately preceding the disposition, the Non-Resident Holder, persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm’s length, or the Non-Resident Holder together with all such persons, owned 25% or more of the issued Shares or any other class of our shares and more than 50% of the fair market value of the Shares was derived directly or indirectly from any one or combination of (i) real or immovable property situated in Canada,(ii) Canadian resource properties, (iii) timber resource properties, and (iv) options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil rights law rights in, property described in any of (i) to (iii), whether or not that property exists.
 
If the Shares constitute taxable Canadian property of a particular Non-Resident Holder, the Warrants will also constitute taxable Canadian property of that Non-Resident Holder.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain circumstances set out in the Tax Act, the Shares may be deemed to be taxable Canadian property. Non-Resident Holders whose Shares constitute taxable Canadian property should consult with their own tax advisors.
 
CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
 
The following is a general summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Units acquired pursuant to this document, the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of  Common Shares acquired as part of the Units, the exercise, disposition, and lapse of Warrants acquired as part of the Units, and the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of  Warrant Shares received on exercise of the Warrants.
 
If an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Units, Common Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such partnership and the partners of such partnership generally will depend on the activities of the partnership and the status of such partners.  Partners of entities that are classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes should consult their own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Units, Common Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares.

This summary is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax considerations that may apply to a U.S. Holder as a result of the acquisition of Units pursuant to this document.  In addition, this summary does not take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular U.S. Holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such U.S. Holder, including specific tax consequences to a U.S. Holder under an applicable tax treaty.  Accordingly, this summary is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or U.S. federal income tax advice with respect to any U.S. Holder.  This summary does not address the U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, or foreign tax consequences to U.S. Holders of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Units, Common Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares.  Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Units, Common Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares.
 
No legal opinion from U.S. legal counsel or ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has been requested, or will be obtained, regarding the US. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders as discussed in this summary.  This summary is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS is not precluded from taking a position that is different from, and contrary to, the positions taken in this summary.  In addition, because the authorities on which this summary is based are subject to various interpretations, the IRS and the U.S. courts could disagree with one or more of the positions taken in this summary.
 
NOTICE PURSUANT TO IRS CIRCULAR 230: NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS SUMMARY CONCERNING ANY U.S. FEDERAL TAX ISSUE IS INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND IT CANNOT BE USED, BY A U.S. HOLDER (AS DEFINED BELOW), FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING U.S. FEDERAL TAX PENALTIES UNDER THE U.S. CODE (AS DEFINED BELOW). THIS SUMMARY WAS WRITTEN TO SUPPORT THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR MATTERS ADDRESSED BY THIS DOCUMENT. EACH U.S. HOLDER SHOULD SEEK U.S. FEDERAL TAX ADVICE, BASED ON SUCH U.S. HOLDER’S PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.
 
Scope of this Summary
 
Authorities
 
This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations (whether final, temporary, or proposed),  published rulings of the IRS, published administrative positions of the IRS, U.S. court decisions and the Convention Between Canada and the United States of America with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital, signed September 26, 1980, as amended (the “Canada-U.S. Tax Convention”), that are applicable and, in each case, as in effect and available, as of the date of this document.  Any of the authorities on which this summary is based could be changed in a material and adverse manner at any time, and any such change could be applied on a retroactive basis or prospective basis which could affect the U.S. federal income tax considerations described in this summary.  This summary does not discuss the potential effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied on a retroactive or prospective basis.

U.S. Holders
 
For purposes of this summary, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of Units, Common Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares acquired pursuant to this document that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
 
 
·
an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S.;
 
 
·
a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
 
 
·
an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

U.S. Holders Subject to Special U.S. Federal Income Tax Rules Not Addressed
 
This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including the following:  (a) U.S. Holders that are tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts; (b) U.S. Holders that are financial institutions, underwriters, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, or regulated investment companies; (c) U.S. Holders that are dealers in securities or currencies or U.S. Holders that are traders in securities that elect to apply a mark-to-market accounting method; (d) U.S. Holders that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar; (e) U.S. Holders that own Units, Common Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position; (f) U.S. Holders that acquired Units, Common Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares in connection with the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services; (g) U.S. Holders that hold Units, Common Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares other than as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment purposes); (h) partnerships and other pass-through entities (and investors in such partnerships and entities); or (i) U.S. Holders that own or have owned  (directly, indirectly, or by attribution) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company.  This summary also does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders who are (a) U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the U.S., (b) persons that have been, are, or will be a resident or deemed to be a resident in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act; (c) persons that use or hold, will use or hold, or that are or will be deemed to use or hold Units, Common Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares in connection with carrying on a business in Canada; (d) persons whose Units, Common Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares constitute “taxable Canadian property” under the Tax Act; or (e) persons that have a permanent establishment in Canada for the purposes of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention.  U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including U.S. Holders described immediately above, should consult their own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Units, Common Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares.
 
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Acquisition of Units
 
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the acquisition by a U.S. Holder of a Unit will be treated as the acquisition of an “investment unit” consisting of two components:  a component consisting of one Common Share and a component consisting of one Common Share and 0.65 of a Common Share purchase warrant.  The purchase price for each Unit will be allocated between these two components in proportion to their relative fair market values at the time the Unit is purchased by the U.S. Holder.  This allocation of the purchase price for each Unit will establish a U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the one Common Share and 0.65 of a Common Share purchase warrant that comprise each Unit.
 
For this purpose, the Company will allocate Cdn.$0.20 of the purchase price for the Unit to the Common Share and Cdn$0.08 of the purchase price for each Unit to the 0.65 of a Common Share purchase warrant.  However, the IRS will not be bound by the Company’s allocation of the purchase price for the Units, and therefore, the IRS or a U.S. court may not respect the allocation set forth above.  Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the allocation of the purchase price for the Units.
 
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Exercise and Disposition of Warrants
 
Exercise of Warrants
 
A U.S. Holder should not recognize gain or loss on the exercise of a Warrant and related receipt of a Warrant Share (unless cash is received in lieu of the issuance of a fractional Warrant Share).  A U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in the Warrant Share received on the exercise of a Warrant should be equal to the sum of (a) such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such Warrant plus (b) the exercise price paid by such U.S. Holder on the exercise of such Warrant.  Subject to the “passive foreign investment company” (or “PFIC”, as defined below) rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Warrant Share received on the exercise of a Warrant should begin on the date that such Warrant is exercised by such U.S. Holder.

 
AC-8

 

Disposition of Warrants
 
A U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss on the sale or other taxable disposition of a Warrant in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received and (b) such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Warrant sold or otherwise disposed of.  Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, any such gain or loss generally will be a capital gain or loss (provided that the Warrant Share to be issued on the exercise of such Warrant would have been a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code if acquired by the U.S. Holder), which will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Warrant is held for more than one year.
 
Expiration of Warrants Without Exercise
 
Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, upon the lapse or expiration of a Warrant, a U.S. Holder will recognize a loss in an amount equal to such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Warrant.  Any such loss generally will be a capital loss and will be long-term capital loss if the Warrants are held for more than one year.  Deductions for capital losses are subject to complex limitations under the Code.
 
Certain Adjustments to the Warrants
 
Under Section 305 of the Code, an adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares that will be issued on the exercise of the Warrants, or an adjustment to the exercise price of the Warrants, may be treated as a constructive distribution to a U.S. Holder of the Warrants if, and to the extent that, such adjustment has the effect of increasing such U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in the “earnings and profits” or assets of the Company, depending on the circumstances of such adjustment (for example, if such adjustment is to compensate for a distribution of cash or other property to shareholders of the Company).  (See more detailed discussion of the rules applicable to distributions made by the Company at “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Acquisition, Ownership, and Disposition of Common Shares and Warrant Shares – Distributions on Common Shares and Warrant Shares” below).
 
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Acquisition, Ownership, and Disposition of Common Shares and Warrant Shares
 
The following discussion is subject to the rules described below under the heading “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.”

 
AC-9

 

Distributions on Common Shares and Warrant Shares
 
Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder that receives a distribution, including a constructive distribution, with respect to a Common Share or Warrant Share will be required to include the amount of such distribution in gross income as a dividend (without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distribution) to the extent of the current or accumulated “earnings and profits” of the Company, as computed for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  A dividend generally will be taxed to a U.S. Holder at ordinary income tax rates.  To the extent that a distribution exceeds the current and accumulated “earnings and profits” of the Company, such distribution will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of a U.S. Holder's tax basis in the Common Shares or Warrant Shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of such Common Shares or Warrant Shares.  (See “ Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Shares and/or Warrant Shares” below).  However, the Company does not intend to maintain the calculations of earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, and each U.S. Holder should therefore assume that any distribution by the Company with respect to the Common Shares or Warrant Share will constitute ordinary dividend income.  Dividends received on Common Shares or Warrant Shares generally will not be eligible for the “dividends received deduction”.
 
For tax years beginning before January 1, 2011, a dividend paid to a U.S. Holder who is an individual, estate or trust by the Company generally will be taxed at the preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains if the Company is a “qualified foreign corporation” as defined under Section 1(h)(11) of the Code (a “QFC”) and certain holding period requirements for the Common Shares or Warrant Shares are met.  The Company generally will be a QFC if the Company is eligible for the benefits of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention or the Common Shares or Warrant Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the U.S.  However, even if the Company satisfies one or more of these requirements, the Company will not be treated as a QFC if the Company is a PFIC for the tax year during which it pays a dividend or for the preceding tax year.  (See the section below under the heading “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules”).
 
If a U.S. Holder fails to qualify for the preferential tax rates discussed above, a dividend paid by the Company to a U.S. Holder generally will be taxed at ordinary income tax rates (and not at the preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains).  The dividend rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the application of such rules.
 
Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Shares and/or Warrant Shares
 
Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, upon the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares or Warrant Shares, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received and (ii) such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such Common Shares or Warrant Shares sold or otherwise disposed of.  Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, gain or loss recognized on such sale or other disposition generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of the sale or other disposition, the Common Shares or Warrant Shares have been held for more than one year.
 
Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gain of a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust.  There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gain of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation.  Deductions for capital losses are subject to significant limitations under the Code.

 
AC-10

 
 
Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules
 
If the Company were to constitute a PFIC (as defined below) for any year during a U.S. Holder’s holding period, then certain different and potentially adverse tax consequences would apply to such U.S. Holder’s acquisition, ownership and disposition of Units, Common Shares, Warrants, and Warrant Shares.
 
The Company generally will be a PFIC under Section 1297 of the Code if, for a taxable year, (a) 75% or more of the gross income of the Company for such taxable year is passive income or (b) 50% or more of the assets held by the Company either produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income, based on the quarterly average of the fair market value of such assets.  “Gross income” generally means all revenues less the cost of goods sold, and “passive income” includes, for example, dividends, interest, certain rents and royalties, certain gains from the sale of stock and securities, and certain gains from commodities transactions.  Active business gains arising from the sale of commodities generally are excluded from passive income if substantially all of a foreign corporation’s commodities are (a) stock in trade of such foreign corporation or other property of a kind which would properly be included in inventory of such foreign corporation, or property held by such foreign corporation primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, (b) property used in the trade or business of such foreign corporation that would be subject to the allowance for depreciation under Section 167 of the Code, or (c) supplies of a type regularly used or consumed by such foreign corporation in the ordinary course of its trade or business.
 
In addition, for purposes of the PFIC income test and asset test described above, if the Company owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the total value of the outstanding shares of another corporation, the Company will be treated as if it (a) held a proportionate share of the assets of such other corporation and (b) received directly a proportionate share of the income of such other corporation.  In addition, for purposes of the PFIC income test and asset test described above, “passive income” does not include any interest, dividends, rents, or royalties that are received or accrued by the Company from a “related person” (as defined in Section 954(d)(3) of the Code), to the extent such items are properly allocable to the income of such related person that is not passive income.
 
Under certain attribution rules, if the Company is a PFIC, U.S. Holders will be deemed to own their proportionate share of any subsidiary of the Company which is also a PFIC (a ‘‘Subsidiary PFIC’’), and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on (i) a distribution on the shares of a Subsidiary PFIC or (ii) a disposition of shares of a Subsidiary PFIC, both as if the holder directly held the shares of such Subsidiary PFIC.
 
The Company does not believe that it was a PFIC for the tax year ended December 31, 2009, and based on current business plans and financial expectations, the Company does not expect to be a PFIC for the current tax year.  The determination of whether the Company will be a PFIC for a taxable year depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations.  In addition, whether the Company will be a PFIC for its current taxable year depends on the assets and income of the Company over the course of each such taxable year and, as a result, cannot be predicted with certainty as of the date of this communication. Consequently, there can be no assurance regarding the Company’s PFIC status for any taxable year, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the determination made by the Company concerning its PFIC status.

 
AC-11

 

Under the default PFIC rules, a U.S. Holder would be required to treat any gain recognized upon a sale or disposition of our Units, Common Shares, Warrants, or Warrant Shares as ordinary (rather than capital), and any resulting U.S. federal income tax may be increased by an interest charge which is not deductible by non-corporate U.S. Holders.  Rules similar to those applicable to dispositions will generally apply to distributions in respect of our Common Shares or Warrant Shares which exceed a certain threshold level.
 
While there are U.S. federal income tax elections that sometimes can be made to mitigate these adverse tax consequences (including, without limitation, the “QEF Election” and the “Mark-to-Market Election”), such elections are available in limited circumstances and must be made in a timely manner.  Under proposed Treasury Regulations, if a U.S. holder has an option, warrant, or other right to acquire stock of a PFIC (such as the Units or the Warrants), such option, warrant or right is considered to be PFIC stock subject to the default rules of Section 1291 of the Code.  However, the holding period for the Warrant Shares will begin on the date a U.S. Holder acquires the Units.  This will impact the availability of the QEF Election and Mark-to-Market Election with respect to the Warrant Shares.  Thus, a U.S. Holder will have to account for Warrant Shares and Common Shares under the PFIC rules and the applicable elections differently.  U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisers regarding the potential application of the PFIC rules to the ownership and disposition of Units, Common Shares, Warrants, and Warrant Shares, and the availability of certain U.S. tax elections under the PFIC rules.
 
U.S. Holders should be aware that, for each taxable year, if any, that the Company or any Subsidiary PFIC is a PFIC, the Company can provide no assurances that it will satisfy the record keeping requirements of a PFIC, or that it will make available to U.S. Holders the information such U.S. Holders require to make a QEF Election under Section 1295 of the Code with respect of the Company or any Subsidiary PFIC.  Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the availability of, and procedure for making, a QEF Election with respect to the Company and any Subsidiary PFIC.
 
Subject to certain specific rules, foreign income and withholding taxes paid with respect to any distribution in respect of stock in a PFIC should qualify for the foreign tax credit.  The rules relating to distributions by a PFIC are complex, and a U.S. Holder should consult with its own tax advisor with respect to any distribution received from a PFIC.

 
AC-12

 

Additional Considerations
 
Receipt of Foreign Currency
 
The amount of any distribution paid to a U.S. Holder in foreign currency or on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Common Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares generally will be equal to the U.S. dollar value of such foreign currency based on the exchange rate applicable on the date of receipt (regardless of whether such foreign currency is converted into U.S. dollars at that time).  If the foreign currency received is not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt.  Any U.S. Holder who receives payment in foreign currency and engages in a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the foreign currency may have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss that would be treated as ordinary income or loss, and generally will be U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit purposes.  Each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of receiving, owning, and disposing of foreign currency.
 
Foreign Tax Credit
 
Subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, a U.S. Holder who pays (whether directly or through withholding) Canadian income tax with respect to dividends paid on the Common Shares and Warrant Shares generally will be entitled, at the election of such U.S. Holder, to receive either a deduction or a credit for such Canadian income tax paid.  Generally, a credit will reduce a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability on a dollar-for-dollar basis, whereas a deduction will reduce a U.S. Holder’s income subject to U.S. federal income tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid (whether directly or through withholding) by a U.S. Holder during a year.
 
Complex limitations apply to the foreign tax credit, including the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability that such U.S. Holder’s “foreign source” taxable income bears to such U.S. Holder’s worldwide taxable income.  In applying this limitation, a U.S. Holder’s various items of income and deduction must be classified, under complex rules, as either “foreign source” or “U.S. source.”  Generally, dividends paid by a foreign corporation should be treated as foreign source for this purpose, and gains recognized on the sale of stock of a foreign corporation by a U.S. Holder should be treated as U.S. source for this purpose, except as otherwise provided in an applicable income tax treaty, and if an election is properly made under the Code.  However, the amount of a distribution with respect to the Common Shares or Warrant Shares that is treated as a “dividend” may be lower for U.S. federal income tax purposes than it is for Canadian federal income tax purposes, resulting in a reduced foreign tax credit allowance to a U.S. Holder.  In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific categories of income.  The foreign tax credit rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisor regarding the foreign tax credit rules.
 
Information Reporting; Backup Withholding Tax
 
Under U.S. federal income tax law and Treasury regulations, certain categories of U.S. Holders must file information returns with respect to their investment in, or involvement in, a foreign corporation.  For example, recently enacted legislation generally imposes new U.S. return disclosure obligations (and related penalties) on U.S. Holders that hold certain specified foreign financial assets in excess of $50,000.  The definition of specified foreign financial assets includes not only financial accounts maintained in foreign financial institutions, but also, unless held in accounts maintained by a financial institution, any stock or security issued by a non-U.S. person, any financial instrument or contract held for investment that has an issuer or counterparty other than a U.S. person and any interest in a foreign entity.  U. S. Holders may be subject to these reporting requirements unless their Units, Common Shares, Warrants, and Warrant Shares are held in an account at a domestic financial institution.  Penalties for failure to file certain of these information returns are substantial.  U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing information returns, and, if applicable, filing obligations relating to a Mark-to-Market or QEF Election.

 
AC-13

 

Payments made within the U.S., or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman, of dividends on, and proceeds arising from the sale or other taxable disposition of the Units, Common Shares, Warrants, and Warrant Shares generally may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding tax, at the rate of 28% (and increasing to 31% for payments made after December 31, 2010), if a U.S. Holder (a) fails to furnish such U.S. Holder’s correct U.S. taxpayer identification number (generally on Form W-9), (b) furnishes an incorrect U.S. taxpayer identification number, (c) is notified by the IRS that such U.S. Holder has previously failed to properly report items subject to backup withholding tax, or (d) fails to certify, under penalty of perjury, that such U.S. Holder has furnished its correct U.S. taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified such U.S. Holder that it is subject to backup withholding tax.  However, certain exempt persons generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup withholding tax rules.  Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, or will be refunded, if such U.S. Holder furnishes required information to the IRS in a timely manner.  Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the information reporting and backup withholding tax rules.
