2.11 REGISTERS OPEN FOR INSPECTION

The registers hereinbefore referred to shall be open at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice for inspection by the Corporation, the Warrant Agent or any Holder.

2.13	EXCHANGE OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES
(1)	Warrant Certificates, representing Warrants entitling the Holders to receive any specified number of Common Shares, may, prior to the Expiry Time and upon compliance with the reasonable requirements of the Warrant Agent, be exchanged for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates entitling the Holder thereof to receive in the aggregate the same number of Common Shares as are issuable under the Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates so exchanged.
(2)	Warrant Certificates may be exchanged only at the Warrant Agency or at any other place that is designated by the Corporation with the approval of the Warrant Agent.

(THE “ISSUER”) OR THE WARRANT AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IN RESPECT THEREOF IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CDS & CO., OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CDS & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED HOLDER HEREOF, CDS & CO., HAS A PROPERTY INTEREST IN THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HEREIN AND IT IS A VIOLATION OF ITS RIGHTS FOR ANOTHER PERSON TO HOLD, TRANSFER OR DEAL WITH THIS CERTIFICATE”

12

(2)	Transfers of beneficial ownership in any Warrant represented by a Global Certificate will be effected only:
	(a)	with respect to the interest of a Participant, through records maintained by the Depository or its nominee for such Global Certificate, and
	(b)	with respect to the interest of any person other than a Participant, through records maintained by Participants. Beneficial Owners who are not Participants but who desire to sell or otherwise transfer ownership of or any other interest in Warrants represented by such Global Certificate may do so only through a Participant.

(4)	Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that such Holders through their respective Participants are collectively entitled, under the terms hereof, to all of the rights accorded to registered holders of Warrants and are bound by all of the obligations of such Holder.
(5)	Subject to subsections 2.14(6) and (7) and 3.2(6) neither the Corporation nor the Warrant Agent shall be under any obligation to deliver to any Participant or Beneficial Owner, nor shall any Participant or Beneficial Owner have any right to require the delivery of, a certificate or other instrument evidencing any interest in Warrants represented by a Global Certificate. Beneficial Owners who are not Participants but who desire to exercise Warrants represented by a Global Certificate may do so only through a Participant in accordance with subsection 3.2(6).
(6)	If any Warrant is represented by a Global Certificate and any of the following events occurs:
	(a)	the Depository or the Company has notified the Warrant Agent that (1) the Depository is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository or (2) the Depository ceases to be a clearing agency in good standing under applicable laws and, in either case, the Company is unable to locate a qualified successor Depository within 90 days of delivery of such notice;
	(b)	the Corporation has determined, in its sole discretion, with the consent of the Warrant Agent, to terminate the book entry only system in respect of such Global Certificate and has communicated such determination to the Warrant Agent in writing;
	(c)	the Corporation or the Depository is required by applicable law to take the action contemplated in this Section 2.14(6); or
	(d)	the book entry only system administrated by the Depository ceases to exist, then one or more definitive fully registered Warrant Certificates shall be executed by the Corporation and certified and delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Depository in exchange for the Global Certificate(s) held by the Depository.

13

(7)	Fully registered Warrant Certificates issued and exchanged pursuant to Section 2.14(6) shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as the Depository shall instruct the Warrant Agent, provided that the aggregate number of Warrants represented by such Warrant Certificates shall be equal to the aggregate number of Warrants represented by the Global Certificate(s) so exchanged. Upon exchange of a Global Certificate for one or more Warrant Certificates in definitive form, such Global Certificate shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent.
(8)	Notwithstanding anything herein or in the terms of the Warrant Certificates to the contrary, neither the Corporation nor the Warrant Agent nor any agent thereof shall have any responsibility or liability for:
	(a)	the records maintained by the Depository relating to any ownership interests or any other interests in the Warrants or the depository system maintained by the Depository, or payments made on account of any ownership interest or any other interest of any person in any Warrant represented by any Global Certificate (other than the applicable Depository or its nominee);
	(b)	maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the Depository or any Participant relating to any such interest; or
	(c)	advice or representations made or given by the Depository or those contained herein that relate to the rules and regulations of the Depository or any action to be taken by the Depository on its own direction or at the direction of any Participant.

(1) The Warrants and the Underlying Securities have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and the Corporation has no current intention to effect such registration. Each Warrant Certificate, and each certificate representing the Underlying Securities, originally issued to, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. Person or a person in the United States, and each Warrant Certificate and each certificate representing Underlying Securities issued in exchange therefor in substitution thereof shall bear the following additional legend until such time as the legend is no longer required under applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities Act or applicable state securities laws:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF] HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “U.S. SECURITIES ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

DELIVERY OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT CONSTITUTE GOOD DELIVERY IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON STOCK EXCHANGES IN CANADA.”;

14

provided, that if at the time the Corporation is a “foreign issuer” as defined in Regulation S, Warrants or Underlying Securities bearing such legend are being sold outside the United States in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S and in compliance with Canadian laws and regulations, the legend may be removed by providing a declaration to the registrar and transfer agent in the form as the Corporation may prescribe from time to time; notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation’s transfer agent may impose additional requirements for the removal of legends from securities sold in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S in the future; provided further, that if any such Warrants or such Underlying Securities are being sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act, the legend may be removed by delivery to the registrar and transfer agent of an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, to the effect that the legend is no longer required under applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities Act or state securities laws.

(b) If a certificate representing the Warrants or the Underlying Securities is tendered for transfer and bears the legend set forth in this subsection and the holder thereof has not obtained the prior written consent of the Corporation, the Warrant Agent shall not register such transfer unless the transferor has provided the Warrant Agent with the certificate representing such securities and the transfer is being made (i) to the Corporation, (ii) outside the United States in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable local securities laws, (iii) in compliance with the exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act provided by (A) Rule 144 thereunder, if available, or (B) Rule 144A thereunder, if available, and in both cases, in compliance with any applicable state securities laws, or (iv) in another transaction that does not require registration under the U.S. Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, and in the case of (iii)(B) and (iv) above, after the seller has furnished to the Corporation to such effect.

A Warrant Certificate with the duly completed and executed Exercise Form and payment of the applicable Exercise Price shall be deemed to be surrendered only upon personal delivery thereof to or, if sent by mail or other means of transmission, upon actual receipt thereof by, the Warrant Agent at the Warrant Agency.
(2)	The Exercise Form shall be executed as set out in subsection 3.2(1) and shall specify the number of Common Shares which the Holder wishes to acquire (being not more than that number which he is entitled to acquire pursuant to the Warrant Certificate(s) so surrendered). Such Common Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder.
(3)	In the event that a Holder has not exercised his Warrants in accordance with the provisions hereof prior to the Expiry Time, all Warrants then held by such Holder shall expire and be of no further force and effect as at the Expiry Time.
(4)	If the principal transfer office of the Warrant Agent in the city where the Warrant Agency is situate is for any reason not available to act in connection with the exchange of Warrant Certificates or exercise of Warrants as contemplated by this Indenture, the Corporation and the Warrant Agent shall arrange for another office in such city to act in connection with the exchange of Warrant Certificates and exercise of Warrants and shall give notice of the change of such office to the Holders.

16

3.3	EFFECT OF EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
(1)	If the Warrants are duly exercised in accordance with sections 3.1 and 3.2, the Underlying Securities subscribed for shall be deemed to have been issued and the person or persons to whom such Underlying Securities are to be issued shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of such Underlying Securities on the Exercise Date unless the transfer registers for the Common Shares shall be closed on such date, in which case the Underlying Securities subscribed for shall be deemed to have been issued and such person or persons shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the same on the date on which such transfer registers are re-opened.
(2)	In the case of Warrants which are exercised in accordance with the provisions of sections 3.1 and 3.2, within three Business Days after the Exercise Date of such Warrants, the Corporation shall cause to be mailed to the person in whose name the Underlying Securities so subscribed for are to be delivered, as specified in the Exercise Form, at the address specified in such Exercise Form, or, if so specified in such Exercise Form, cause to be held for such person for pick-up at the Warrant Agency, certificates representing the Underlying Securities to be issued pursuant to such Exercise Form, registered in such name.

In the event of any acquisition of a number of Common Shares less than the number which the Holder is entitled to acquire, he shall, upon exercise thereof, be entitled to receive, without charge therefor, a new Warrant Certificate(s) representing the balance of the Common Shares which he was entitled to acquire pursuant to the surrendered Warrant Certificate(s) and which were not then acquired.
(2)	Notwithstanding anything herein contained including any adjustment provided for in Article 4, the Corporation shall not be required, upon the exercise of any Warrants, to issue fractions of Common Shares or to distribute certificates which evidence the same. Any fractional Common Shares to which a Holder is entitled shall be aggregated to form whole Common Shares with any remaining fractional Common Shares rounded down to a whole Common Share.
3.5	CANCELLATION OF WARRANTS

17

3.6 WARRANTS VOID AFTER THE EXPIRY TIME

(2)

Any Underlying Securities issued to, or for the account or benefit of, a person who cannot make the representations set forth in Box A on the Exercise Form of the Warrant Certificate shall bear the legend set forth in subsection 2.14 above.

ARTICLE 4
ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF COMMON SHARES

4.1 ADJUSTMENT UPON COMMON SHARE REORGANIZATION OR CAPITAL REORGANIZATION

The acquisition rights in effect at any date attaching to the Warrants shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(1) If, at any time prior to the Expiry Time, the Corporation shall:

18

(a)	subdivide, redivide or change its then outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares; or
(b)	consolidate, reduce or combine its then outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of shares; or
(c)	issue Common Shares or Convertible Securities to all or substantially all of the holders of the Common Shares as a stock dividend or other distribution (other than a dividend paid in the ordinary course);

(any such event being herein called a “Common Share Reorganization”), then the number of Common Shares that a Holder is entitled to upon exercise shall be adjusted, effective immediately after the effective date or record date at which holders of Common Shares are determined for the purposes of the Common Share Reorganization, by multiplying the number of Common Shares that a Holder was entitled to upon exercise of Warrants immediately prior to such effective date or record date by a fraction of which:

(a)

the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization, including, without limitation, in the case of a distribution of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding if such securities had been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares on such date; and

(b)

the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such effective date or record date before giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization.

(2)	To the extent that any adjustment in the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants occurs pursuant to subsection 4.1(1) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the distribution of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, the number of Common Shares to which a Holder is entitled on the exercise of his Warrants shall be readjusted immediately after the expiration of any relevant exchange or conversion right to the number of Common Shares to which such Holder is entitled on the exercise of his Warrants which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiration.
(3)	(a)	If, at any time prior to the Expiry Time, there occurs:
		(i)	a reclassification or redesignation of the Common Shares or any other capital reorganization; or
		(ii)	a consolidation, merger or amalgamation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation which results in the cancellation, reclassification or redesignation of the Common Shares or a change or conversion of the Common Shares into other shares or securities or the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another corporation or entity or the Corporation being controlled (within the meaning of theIncome Tax Act(Canada)) by another corporation or entity;

(any such event being herein called a “Capital Reorganization”), then, immediately upon the effective time of such Capital Reorganization and at all times thereafter, a Holder who exercises his right to acquire Common Shares shall be entitled to be issued and receive and shall accept for the same aggregate consideration, upon such exercise, in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which he was theretofore entitled upon exercise of his Warrants the kind and aggregate number of shares or other securities or property of the Corporation or of the Corporation or other entity resulting from such Capital Reorganization or any other corporation that a Holder would have been entitled to be issued and receive upon such Capital Reorganization if, immediately prior to the effective time thereof, such Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which he was theretofore entitled upon exercise of his Warrants.

19

(b)	If necessary as a result of any Capital Reorganization, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions of this section with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Holders to the end that the provisions set forth in this section shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be practicable in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants. Any such adjustment shall be made by and set forth in an agreement supplemental hereto approved by the Board of Directors and by the Holders.
(c)	The Corporation shall not complete or facilitate a Capital Reorganization if the effect of such transaction is that:
	(i)	all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation become the property of, or are under the control of, or the Corporation is controlled (within the meaning of theIncome Tax Act(Canada)) by another person (an “Acquiring Person”); and
	(ii)	holders of Common Shares receive any other security in replacement of, or in addition to, or in consideration for their Common Shares;

unless, at or prior to the effective time of such Capital Reorganization, the Acquiring Person agrees to be bound by the terms of this Indenture by executing and delivering such supplemental indenture, warrant or other document as may be satisfactory to the Corporation, acting reasonably.

4.2	ADJUSTMENT UPON RIGHTS OFFERING
(1)	(a)	If and whenever at any time from the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time, the Corporation fixes a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of Common Shares pursuant to which those holders are entitled to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Shares or Convertible Securities within a period of not more than 45 days from such record date at a price per share, or at a conversion price per share, of less than 95% of the Current Market Price on such record date (any such issuance being herein called a “Rights Offering” and the Common Shares that may be acquired in exercise of the Rights Offering, or upon conversion of the Convertible Securities offered by the Rights Offering, being herein called the “Offered Shares”), the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant shall be adjusted effective immediately after the applicable record date to a number that is the product of (1) the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of a Warrant in effect on the record date and (2) a fraction:
		(i)	the numerator of which shall be the sum of (a) the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date plus (b) the number of Offered Shares offered pursuant to the Rights Offering or the maximum number of Offered Shares into which the Convertible Securities so offered pursuant to the Rights Offering may be converted, as the case may be; and

20

(ii)	the denominator of which shall be the sum of:
	(A)	the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date; and
	(B)	the number arrived at when (I) either the product of (a) the number of Offered Shares so offered and (b) the price at which those shares are offered, or the product of (c) the conversion price thereof and (d) the maximum number of Offered Shares for or into which the Convertible Securities so offered pursuant to the Rights Offering may be converted, as the case may be, is divided by (II) the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on the record date.

(b) Any Offered Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation or a Subsidiary shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation; if all the rights, options or warrants are not so issued or if all rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant shall be readjusted to that number in effect immediately prior to the record date, and such number shall be further adjusted based upon the number of Offered Shares (or Convertible Securities that are convertible into Offered Shares) actually delivered upon the exercise of the rights, options or warrants, as the case may be, but subject to any other adjustment required hereunder by reason of any event arising after that record date.

(2)	(a)	If and whenever at any time from the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time, the Corporation issues or distributes to all or substantially all the holders of Common Shares, (i) shares of any class other than Common Shares, or (ii) rights, options or warrants other than rights, options or warrants exercisable within 45 days from the date of issue thereof at a price, or at a conversion price, of at least 95% of the Current Market Price at the record date for such distribution, or (iii) evidences of indebtedness, or (iv) any other cash, securities or other property or assets and that issuance or distribution does not constitute a dividend paid in the ordinary course or is not adjusted pursuant to subsection 4.1(2) or a Rights Offering (any of those non-excluded events being herein called a “SpecialDistribution”), the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date at which the Holders of Common Shares are determined for purposes of the Special Distribution to a number that is the product of (1) the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant in effect on the record date and (2) a fraction:
		(i)	the numerator of which shall be the product of (I) the sum of the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date plus the number of Common Shares which the Holders would be entitled to receive upon exercise of all their outstanding Warrants if they were exercised on the record date and (II) the Current Market Price thereof on that date; and
		(ii)	the denominator of which shall be:
			(A)	the product of (I) the sum of the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date plus the number of Shares which the Holders would be entitled to receive upon exercise of all their outstanding Warrants if they were exercised on the record date and (II) the Current Market Price thereof on the earlier of such record date and the date on which the Corporation announces its intention to make such Special Distribution;

21

less

(B) the aggregate fair market value, as determined by the board, whose determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, of the shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or other assets issued or distributed in the Special Distribution.

(b) Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation; to the extent that the distribution of shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets is not so made or to the extent that any rights, options or warrants so distributed are not exercised, the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant shall be readjusted to the number that would then be in effect based upon shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets actually distributed or based upon the number of Common Shares or Convertible Securities actually delivered upon the exercise of the rights, options or warrants, as the case may be, but subject to any other adjustment required hereunder by reason of any event arising after the record date.

4.3 ADJUSTMENT TO EXERCISE PRICE

If at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time any adjustment in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of any Warrant shall occur as a result of the operation of:

(i)	subsection 4.1(1);
(ii)	subsection 4.2(1)(a); or
(iii)	subsection 4.2(2)(a) if the event referred to therein constitutes the issue or distribution to all or substantially all the holders of Common Shares of (A) Equity Shares, or (B) rights, options or warrants exchangeable for or convertible into Equity Shares at an exchange or conversion price per Equity Share less than the Current Market Price on the record date for such Special Distribution,

then the Exercise Price payable upon the subsequent exercise of any Warrants shall be simultaneously adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction which shall be the reciprocal of the fraction employed in the adjustment of the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, in each case subject to readjustment upon the operation of, and in accordance with, the provisions of subsections 4.1(2), 4.2(1)(b) and/or 4.2(2)(b), as applicable.

4.4 ENTITLEMENT TO SHARES AND OTHER SECURITIES ON EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

All shares of any class or other securities which a Holder is at the time in question entitled to receive on the exercise of his Warrants, whether or not as a result of adjustments made pursuant to this Article 4, shall, for the purposes of the interpretation of this Indenture, be deemed to be shares or other securities which such Holder is entitled to acquire pursuant to such Warrants.

4.5 NO ADJUSTMENT FOR STOCK OPTIONS, ETC.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 4, no adjustment shall be made in the acquisition rights attached to the Warrants if the issue of Common Shares, rights, options, warrants or securities exchangeable or convertible into Common Shares, is being made pursuant to this Indenture or pursuant to any stock option or stock purchase plan in force from time to time for directors, officers or employees of the Corporation, or being made to satisfy existing instruments issued and outstanding as of the date of this Indenture.

22

4.6 DETERMINATION BY CORPORATION’S AUDITORS

In the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments provided for in this Article 4, including the failure to adjust, such question shall be conclusively determined by the Corporation's Auditors or if they are unwilling or unable to act, by such other firm of independent accountants accredited by the Canadian Public Accountability Board as may be selected by the Directors, and they shall have access to all necessary records of the Corporation, and such determination shall be binding upon the Corporation, the Warrant Agent, all Holders and all other persons interested therein.

4.7 PROCEEDINGS PRIOR TO ANY ACTION REQUIRING ADJUSTMENT

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 Corporation shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation has sufficient authorized capital and that the Corporation may validly and legally issue as fully-paid and non-assessable all the shares, warrants and other securities which the holders of such Warrants are entitled to receive on the full exercise thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof.

4.8 ACTION REQUIRING ADJUSTMENT

In case the Corporation, after the date hereof, shall take any action affecting the Common Shares, other than the actions described in this Article 4 which, in the opinion of the Directors or the Warrant Agent would materially affect the rights of the Holders and/or the acquisition rights of the Holders, then that number of Common Shares which are to be received upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time, by action of the Directors, in their discretion as they may reasonably determine to be equitable to the Holders in such circumstances, subject to the prior consent of the TSX or any other exchange on which the Corporation’s securities are then listed.

4.9 CERTIFICATE OF ADJUSTMENT

The Corporation shall from time to time immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in Article 4, deliver a certificate of the Corporation to the Warrant Agent 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.

4.10 NOTICE OF SPECIAL MATTERS

The Corporation covenants with the Warrant Agent that, so long as any Warrant remains outstanding, it shall send notice to the Warrant Agent and to the Holders in accordance with Article 10 of any intention to fix a record date that is prior to the Expiry Time for the issuance of rights, options or warrants (other than the Warrants) to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common Shares. Such notice shall specify the particulars of such event and the record date for such event, provided that the Corporation shall only be required to specify in the notice such particulars of the event as shall have been fixed and determined on the date on which the notice is given.

In the event of the Warrant Agent failing, within seven days after receipt of any such request and such indemnity and funding, to give notice convening a meeting, the Corporation or such Holders, as the case may be, may convene such meeting. Every such meeting shall be held in the City of Toronto, Ontario, or at such other place as may be approved or determined by the Warrant Agent.

9.2 NOTICE OF MEETINGS

At least 21 days' notice of any meeting of the Holders shall be given to the Holders in the manner provided in Article 10 and a copy thereof must be sent to the Warrant Agent unless the meeting has been called by it and to the Corporation unless the meeting has been called by it. Such notice must state the time when and the place where the meeting is to be held and state briefly the general nature of the business to be transacted thereat and it shall not be necessary for any such notice to set out the terms of any resolution to be proposed or any of the provisions of this Article.

9.3 CHAIRMAN

An individual (who need not be a Holder) designated in writing by the Warrant Agent, shall be the chairman of the meeting and if no individual is so designated, or if the individual so designated is not present within 15 minutes from the time fixed for the holding of the meeting, the Holders present in person or by proxy shall choose an individual present to be chairman.

9.4 QUORUM

Subject to section 9.12, at any meeting of the Holders a quorum shall consist of Holders present in person or by proxy and entitled to acquire at least 20% of the aggregate number of Common Shares which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of all of the then outstanding Warrants, provided that at least two Persons entitled to vote thereat are personally present or represented by proxy. If a quorum is not present within 30 minutes from the time fixed for holding any meeting, the meeting, if summoned by the Holders or pursuant to a Holders' Request, shall be dissolved; but in any other case the meeting shall be adjourned to the same day in the next week (unless such day is not a Business Day in which case it shall be adjourned to the next following Business Day) at the same time and place and no notice shall be required to be given in respect of such adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting the Holders present in person or by proxy shall form a quorum and may transact the business for which the meeting was originally convened notwithstanding that they may not be entitled to acquire at least 20% of the Common Shares which may be acquired pursuant to the exercise of all of the then outstanding Warrants.

Every question submitted to a meeting shall be decided in the first place by a majority of the votes given on a show of hands except that votes on Extraordinary Resolutions shall be given in the manner hereinafter provided. At any such meeting, unless a poll is duly demanded as herein provided, a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has been carried or carried unanimously or by a particular majority or lost or not carried by a particular majority shall be conclusive evidence of the fact.

9.7 POLL

On every Extraordinary Resolution, and on any other question submitted to a meeting when demanded by the chairman or by one or more Holders and/or proxies for Holders, a poll must be taken in such manner and either at once or after an adjournment, as the chairman directs. Questions other than Extraordinary Resolutions shall, if a poll is taken, be decided by a majority of the votes cast on the poll.

On a show of hands, every Person who is present and entitled to vote, whether as a Holder or as proxy for one or more Holders or both, shall have one vote. On a poll, each Holder present in person or represented by a proxy duly appointed by an instrument in writing shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each Common Share to which that Person is entitled to acquire pursuant to the Warrant or Warrants held or represented by that Person. A proxy need not be a Holder. In the case of joint Holders of a Warrant, any one of them present in person or by proxy at the meeting may vote in the absence of the other or others; but in case more than one of them is present in person or by proxy, they must vote together in respect of the Warrants of which they are joint Holders.

Not less than seven days' prior notice shall be given of the time and place of such adjourned meeting in the manner provided in Article 10. Such notice must state that at the adjourned meeting the Holders present in person or by proxy shall form a quorum but it shall not be necessary to set forth the purposes for which the meeting was originally called or any other particulars.

11.2	NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST

The Warrant Agent represents to the Corporation that at the date of the execution and delivery of this Indenture there exists no material conflict of interest in its duties and obligations as a warrant agent hereunder. In the event of a material conflict of interest arising in the Warrant Agent’s role as warrant agent hereunder the Warrant Agent shall, as soon as practicable but in any case within 20 days after ascertaining that it has such material conflict of interest, either eliminate the same or assign its duties and obligations hereunder to a successor Warrant Agent approved by the Corporation.

The Warrant Agent may resign and be discharged from all duties and liabilities hereunder by giving to the Corporation at least 45 days' notice in writing or such shorter notice as the Corporation may accept as sufficient.

If the Warrant Agent resigns or is removed by Extraordinary Resolution or is dissolved, becomes bankrupt, goes into liquidation or otherwise becomes incapable of acting hereunder, the Corporation shall forthwith appoint a new Warrant Agent unless a new Warrant Agent has already been appointed by the Holders; failing such appointment by the Corporation, the retiring Warrant Agent or any Holder may apply to a judge of a court having jurisdiction, on such notice as such judge may direct, for the appointment of a new Warrant Agent; but any new Warrant Agent so appointed by the Corporation or by the Court shall be subject to removal as aforesaid by the Holders. Any new Warrant Agent appointed under any provision of this section must be a corporation authorized to carry on the business of a transfer agent in the Province of Ontario and, if required by the applicable warrant indenture legislation of any other province, in that other province, and must be a corporation which is independent of the Corporation and has no material conflict of interest. On any new appointment the new Warrant Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named herein as Warrant Agent without any further assurances conveyance, act or deed. If, for any reason, it becomes necessary or expedient to execute any further deed or assurance, the former Warrant Agent shall, at the expense of the Corporation, execute the same in favour of the new warrant agent.

34

(2)	Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated or amalgamated or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or amalgamation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party or any corporation succeeding to the transfer agency business of the Warrant Agent, shall be the successor Warrant Agent under this Indenture without the execution of any instrument or any further act.
(3)	Upon the appointment of a new Warrant Agent, the Corporation shall promptly notify the Holders thereof in the manner prescribed by section 10.2 hereof.
11.4	EVIDENCE, EXPERTS AND ADVISERS
(1)	In addition to the reports, certificates, opinions and other evidence required by this Indenture, the Corporation shall furnish to the Warrant Agent such additional evidence of compliance with any provision hereof, and in such form, as may be prescribed by Indenture Legislation or as the Warrant Agent may reasonably require by written notice to the Corporation.
(2)	In the exercise of its rights and duties hereunder, the Warrant Agent may, if it is acting in good faith, rely as to the truth of the statements and the accuracy of the opinions expressed in statutory declarations, opinions, reports, written requests, consents, or orders of the Corporation, certificates of the Corporation or other evidence furnished to the Warrant Agent pursuant to any provision hereof or any Indenture Legislation or pursuant to a request of the Warrant Agent, not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained which the Warrant Agent in good faith believes to be genuine.
(3)	Proof of the execution of an instrument in writing, including a Holders' Request, by any Holder may be made by the certificate of a notary public, or other officer with similar powers, that the person signing such instrument acknowledged to it the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution or in any other manner which the Warrant Agent may consider adequate.
(4)	The Warrant Agent may, at the expense of the Corporation, employ or retain such counsel, accountants, appraisers or other experts or advisers as it may reasonably require for the purpose of discharging its duties hereunder and may pay reasonable remuneration for all services so performed by any of them, without taxation of costs of any counsel, and shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such experts or advisers who have been appointed with reasonable care by the Warrant Agent.

Any capitalized term in this Certificate that is not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Warrant Indenture.

The Warrants represented by this Certificate are issued or issuable in fully registrable form only under the provisions of an indenture (which indenture together with all other instruments ancillary thereto is referred to herein as the “Warrant Indenture”) dated as of December •, 2010 among the Corporation and Valiant Trust Company (the “Warrant Agent”). Reference is hereby made to the Warrant Indenture for a full description of the rights of the holders of the Warrants, the Corporation and the Warrant Agent in respect thereof, and the terms and conditions upon which the Warrants evidenced hereby are issued and held, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Warrant Indenture were herein set forth. By acceptance of this Certificate, the Holder assents to all provisions of the Warrant Indenture. To the extent that the terms and conditions set forth in this Certificate conflict with the terms and conditions of the Warrant Indenture, the Warrant Indenture shall prevail. The Corporation will furnish to the holder of this Certificate, upon request and without charge, a copy of the Warrant Indenture.

In the event that prior to the Expiry Date, the Holder has not exercised the Warrants represented hereby in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Indenture, then any Warrants represented by this Certificate which have not been so exercised shall be deemed to have expired and shall be of no further force and effect as of 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Expiry Date.

Certificates representing the Common Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants (reflecting any adjustments as provided herein and in the Warrant Indenture) shall, within three Business Days after the Exercise Date, be mailed by the Corporation to the address of the Holder thereof last appearing on the register of Holders maintained by the Warrant Agent.

(b)	by providing a certified cheque, bank draft or money order in lawful money of Canada payable to the order of the Corporation for the aggregate purchase price of the Common Shares so subscribed; and
(c)	surrendering this Warrant Certificate to the Warrant Agent at the Warrant Agency,

all in accordance with Section 3.2 of the Warrant Indenture.

The Warrants represented by this Certificate shall be deemed to be surrendered only upon personal delivery hereof or, if sent by mail or other means of transmission, upon actual receipt thereof by the Warrant Agent at the offices referred to above.

Upon surrender of these Warrants, the person or persons in whose name or names the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are to be issued shall be deemed for all purposes (except as provided in the Warrant Indenture) to be the holder or holders of record of such Common Shares and the Corporation has covenanted that it will (subject to the provisions of the Warrant Indenture) cause a certificate or certificates representing the Common Shares to be delivered or mailed to the person or persons at the address or addresses specified in the Exercise Form within five Business Days.

The Holder should refer to the Warrant Indenture which provides for adjustments in certain other events.

The terms and conditions relating to the Warrants and this Certificate may be modified, changed or added to in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Indenture. The Warrant Indenture contains provisions making binding upon all Holders of Warrants outstanding thereunder resolutions passed at meetings of such Holders held in accordance with such provisions and instruments in writing signed by the Holders entitled to acquire a specified percentage of the Common Shares which may be acquired pursuant to the exercise of all of the then outstanding Warrants.

The Holder of this Certificate may, upon compliance with the reasonable requirements of the Warrant Agent and upon surrender of this Certificate, exchange this Certificate for another Certificate or Certificates entitling the Holder thereof to receive, in the aggregate, the same number of Common Shares as are issuable under this Certificate.

Accordingly, Warrants may not be distributed in the United States or to, or for the benefit of, a “U.S. person” (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) unless the distribution or transfer is being made in a transaction that does not require registration under the U.S. Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, and it has furnished to the Corporation an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Corporation to such effect. Compliance with the securities laws of any jurisdiction is the responsibility of the holder of Warrants or its transferee.
