THE FOLLOWING ARE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS REFERRED TO IN THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE:

 

1. The acquisition rights in effect at any date attaching to this Warrant Certificate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(a)if and whenever at any time prior to the Expiry Date, the Company shall:

 

(i)subdivide, redivide or change its outstanding common shares into a greater number of shares; or

 

(ii)reduce, combine or consolidate its outstanding common shares into a smaller number of shares

 

(any of such events being referred to herein as a “Capital Reorganization”)

 

the Exercise Price of each Common Share shall be adjusted immediately after the effective date of such Capital Reorganization, by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the total number of common shares outstanding immediately prior to such date and the denominator shall be the total number of common shares outstanding immediately after such date (including, in the case where securities are exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, and are distributed, and the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had all such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares on such record date). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this subsection shall occur. If and whenever at any time after the date hereof prior to the Expiry Date any of the events set out above shall occur and the occurrence of such event results in an adjustment of the Exercise Price, then the number of Common Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant Certificate shall be adjusted contemporaneously with the adjustment of the Exercise Price by multiplying the number of Common Shares then otherwise purchasable on the exercise thereof by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment;

 

(b)if and whenever at any time prior to the Expiry Date, there is a reclassification of the common shares or a capital reorganization of the Company other than as described in subsection 1(a) or a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Company with or into any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, the Holder of this Warrant Certificate if it has not exercised its right of acquisition, as at the effective date of such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation or merger, upon the exercise of such right thereafter, shall be entitled to receive and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Common Shares that the Holder of this Warrant Certificate would otherwise be entitled to acquire, the number of shares or other securities or property of the Company or of the body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity resulting from such merger, amalgamation or consolidation, that the Holder of this Warrant Certificate would have been entitled to receive on such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation or merger, if, on the record date or the effective date thereof, as the case may be, the Holder of this Warrant Certificate had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares entitled to be acquired by it. If determined appropriate by the Holder of this Warrant Certificate to give effect to or to evidence the provisions of this subsection 1(b), the Company or its successor, shall, prior to or contemporaneously with any such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation or merger, issue new Warrants which shall provide, to the extent possible, for the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder of this Warrant Certificate to the end that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, with respect to any shares, other securities or property to which the Holder of this Warrant Certificate is entitled on the exercise of its acquisition rights thereafter. Any new Warrants issued by the Company or any successor to the Company shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided in this Section 1 and which shall apply to successive reclassification, reorganizations, amalgamations, consolidations or mergers; and

 

 
-4-

 

(c)the adjustments provided for in this Section 1 in the number of Common Shares and classes of securities which are to be received on the exercise of the Warrants are cumulative. After any adjustment pursuant to this Section, the term “Common Shares” where used in this Warrant Certificate shall be interpreted to mean securities of any class or classes which, as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this Section, the Holder of this Warrant Certificate is entitled to receive upon the exercise of the Warrants, and the number of Common Shares indicated by any exercise made pursuant to a Warrant shall be interpreted to mean the number of Common Shares or other property or securities the Holder of this Warrant Certificate is entitled to receive, as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this Section, upon the full exercise of a Warrant.

 

2. All shares of any class or other securities which the Holder of this Warrant Certificate is at the time in question entitled to receive on the exercise of the Warrants, whether or not as a result of adjustments made pursuant to Section 1 shall, for the purposes of the interpretation hereof, be deemed to be shares which the Holder of this Warrant Certificate is entitled to acquire pursuant to such Warrant Certificate.

 

3. Notwithstanding anything in Section 1, no adjustment shall be made in the acquisition rights attached to the Warrants if the issue of Common Shares is being made pursuant to this Warrant Certificate.

 

4. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment in any of the acquisition rights pursuant to any of the Warrants, including the number of Common Shares which are to be received upon the exercise thereof, the Company shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary or desirable in order that the Company or a successor company has unissued and reserved in its authorized capital and may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all the shares and other securities which the holders of such Warrants are entitled to receive on the full exercise thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof.

 

5. The Company shall from time to time immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in Section 1, deliver a certificate of the Company to the Holder of this Warrant Certificate specifying the nature of the event requiring the same and the amount of the adjustment necessitated thereby and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

 

6. The Company shall not be required to deliver certificates for the Common Share while the share transfer books of the Company are properly closed prior to any meeting of shareholders, for the payment of dividends or for any other purpose and in the event of the surrender of any Warrant in accordance with the provisions hereof and the making of any subscription and payment for the Common Shares called for thereby during any such period, delivery of certificates for Common Shares may be postponed for not more than five business days after the date of the re-opening of said share transfer books. Any such postponement of delivery of certificates shall be without prejudice to the right of the Holder, if the Holder has surrendered the same and made payment during such period, to receive such certificates for the Common Shares called for after the share transfer books have been re-opened.

 

7. So long as this Warrant Certificate shall be outstanding, if any capital reorganization of the Company, reclassification of the capital of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company shall be effected, then in any such case, the Company shall cause to be mailed by certified mail to the Holder, at least 15 days prior the date of such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place, a notice containing a brief description of the proposed action and stating the date of such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of common shares or other securities shall receive cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

 

8. In accordance with the terms and conditions contained herein this Warrant Certificate, the Company will make adjustments as it considers necessary and equitable acting in good faith, subject to any approvals required by the TSXV. If at any time a dispute arises with respect to adjustments provide for herein, such dispute will be conclusively determined by the auditors of the Company or if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such other firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by the directors of the Company and any such determination, absent manifest error, will be binding upon the Company, the Holder and shareholders of the Company. The Company will provide such auditors or accountants with access to all necessary records of the Company and fees payable to such accountants or auditors will be paid by the Company.

9. This Warrant Certificate will not entitle the Holder hereof to any rights as a shareholder of the Company, including without limitation, voting rights.
