(a)

The Company shall cause a register to be kept in which shall be entered the names and addresses of all holders of the Warrants and the number of Warrants held by them.

7.

Partial Exercise

The Holder may subscribe for and purchase a number of Common Shares less than the number the Holder is entitled to purchase pursuant to this Warrant. In the event of any such subscription and purchase prior to the Expiry Time, the Holder shall in addition be entitled to receive, without charge, a new Warrant certificate in respect of the balance of the Common Shares of which he was entitled to purchase pursuant to this certificate and which were then not purchased.

8.

No Fractional Shares

Notwithstanding any adjustments provided for in Section 13 hereof or otherwise, the Company shall not be required, upon the exercise of any Warrants, to issue fractional Common Shares in satisfaction of its obligations hereunder.

Not a Shareholder

Nothing in this certificate or in the holding of the Warrants evidenced hereby shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder any right or interest whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company.

10.

11.

Ranking of Warrants

All Series 2011-I warrants shall rank pari passu, notwithstanding the actual date of the issue thereof.

12.

Covenants


(a)

The Company covenants and agrees that:

     
(i)

so long as any Warrants evidenced hereby remain outstanding, it shall reserve and there shall remain unissued out of its authorized capital a sufficient number of Common Shares to satisfy the right of purchase herein provided for should the Holder determine to exercise its rights in respect of all the Common Shares for the time being called for by such outstanding Warrants; and

     
(ii)

all Common Shares which shall be issued upon the exercise of the right to purchase herein provided for, upon payment therefor of the amount at which such Common Shares may at the time be purchased pursuant to the provisions hereof, shall be issued as fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares and the holders thereof shall not be liable to the Company or to its creditors in respect thereof.

     
(b)

The Company shall make all requisite filings under the Securities Act (Ontario) and the regulations made thereunder including those necessary to remain a reporting issuer not in default of any requirement of such act and regulations.

     
(c)

The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to preserve and maintain its corporate existence.


13.

Adjustment to Exercise Price

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

(a)

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

     
(i)

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

     
(ii)

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

     
(iii)

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

     
(iv)

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

     

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

- 7 -


   
(b)

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

           
(i)

the right to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares, or the right to exchange securities for or convert securities into Common Shares, expires not more than 45 days after the date of such issue (the period from the record date to the date of expiry being herein in this Section 13 called the “Rights Period”), and

           
(ii)

the cost per Common Share during the Rights Period (inclusive of any cost of acquisition of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares in addition to any direct cost of Common Shares) (herein in this Section 13 called the “Per Share Cost”) is less than 95% of the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on the record date,

           

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

           
(A)

the numerator of which is the aggregate of:

           
(1)

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

           
(2)

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

           
(I)

where the event giving rise to the application of this subsection 13(b) was the issue of rights, options or warrants to the holders of Common Shares under which such holders are entitled to subscribe for or purchase additional Common Shares, the number of Common Shares so subscribed for or purchased during the Rights Period, or

- 8 -


           
        (II)

where the event giving rise to the application of this subsection 13(b) was the issue of rights, options or warrants to the holders of Common Shares under which such holders are entitled to subscribe for or purchase securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, the number of Common Shares for which those securities so subscribed for or purchased during the Rights Period could have been exchanged or into which they could have been converted during the Rights Period,

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

    (B)

the denominator of which is:

         
    (1)

in the case described in subparagraph 13(b)(A)(2)(I), the number of Common Shares outstanding, or

         
    (2)

in the case described in subparagraph 13(b)(A)(2)(II), the number of Common Shares that would be outstanding if all the Common Shares described in subparagraph 13(b)(A)(2)(II) had been issued,

         
        as at the end of the Rights Period.

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

If by the terms of the rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 13, there is more than one purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, the aggregate price of the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase, or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible securities so offered, will be calculated for purposes of the adjustment on the basis of:

        (I)

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

           
        (II)

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

- 9 -


To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this Section 13 as a result of the fixing by the Company of a record date for the distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 13, the Exercise Price will be readjusted immediately after the expiration of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiration, and will be further readjusted in such manner upon expiration of any further such right.

If the Holder has exercised this Warrant in accordance herewith during the period beginning immediately after the record date for a Rights Offering and ending on the last day of the Rights Period therefor, the Holder will, in addition to the Common Shares to which it is otherwise entitled upon such exercise, be entitled to that number of additional Common Shares equal to the result obtained when the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the end of such Rights Offering pursuant to this subsection is multiplied by the number of Common Shares received upon the exercise of this Warrant during such period, and the resulting product is divided by the Exercise Price as adjusted for such Rights Offering pursuant to this subsection; provided that the provisions of Section 8 will be applicable to any fractional interest in a Common Share to which such Holder might otherwise be entitled. Such additional Common Shares will be deemed to have been issued to the Holder immediately following the end of the Rights Period and a certificate for such additional Common Shares will be delivered to such Holder within ten (10) Business Days following the end of the Rights Period.

(c)

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

     
(i)

shares of the Company of any class other than Common Shares;

     
(ii)

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

     
(iii)

evidence of indebtedness; or

     
(iv)

any property or other assets,

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

      (1)

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

- 10 -



      (2)

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

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

    (A)

the numerator of which is:

         
    (1)

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

         
    (2)

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

         
    (B)

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

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

(d)

If and whenever at any time after the date hereof there is a Common Share Reorganization, a Rights Offering, a Special Distribution, a reclassification or redesignation of the Common Shares outstanding at any time or change of the Common Shares into other shares or into other securities (other than a Common Share Reorganization), or a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity (other than a consolidation, amalgamation or merger which does not result in any reclassification or redesignation of the outstanding Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other shares), or a transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or other entity (any of such events being called a “Capital Reorganization”), the Holder, upon exercising this Warrant after the effective date of such Capital Reorganization, will be entitled to receive in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which such Holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise, the aggregate number of shares, other securities or other property which such Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which such Holder was theretofore entitled upon exercise of this Warrant. If determined appropriate by action of the directors of the Company, appropriate adjustments will be made as a result of any such Capital Reorganization in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 13 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 13 will thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be possible in relation to any shares, other securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. Any such adjustment must be made by and set forth in an amendment to this Warrant approved by action by the directors of the Company and will for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.

- 11 -


   
(e)

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

     
(i)

an event referred to in subsection 13(a);

     
(ii)

the fixing by the Company of a record date for an event referred to in subsection 13(b); or

     
(iii)

the fixing by the Company of a record date for an event referred to in subsection 13(c) if such event constitutes the issue or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of its outstanding Common Shares of (A) Equity Shares, or (B) securities exchangeable for or convertible into Equity Shares at an exchange or conversion price per Equity Shares less than the Current Market Price on such record date or (C) rights, options or warrants to acquire Equity Shares at an exercise, exchange or conversion price per Equity Share less than the Current Market Price on such record date,

then, where required, the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the subsequent exercise of this Warrant shall be simultaneously adjusted by multiplying the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction which shall be the reciprocal of the fraction employed in the adjustment of the Exercise Price. To the extent any adjustment in subscription rights occurs pursuant to this subsection 13(e) as a result of a distribution of exchangeable or convertible securities other than Equity Shares referred to in subsection 13(a) or as a result of the fixing by the Company of a record date for the distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to in subsection 13(b), the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be readjusted immediately after the expiration of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the number of Common Shares which would be purchasable based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable immediately after such expiration, and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon expiration of any further such right. To the extent that any adjustment in subscription rights occurs pursuant to this subsection 13(e) as a result of the fixing by the Company of a record date for the distribution of exchangeable or convertible securities other than Equity Shares or rights, options or warrants referred to in subsection 13(c), the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be readjusted immediately after the expiration of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the number of Common Shares which would be purchasable pursuant to this subsection 13(e) if the fair market value of such securities or such rights, options or warrants had been determined for purposes of the adjustment pursuant to this subsection 13(e) on the basis of the number of Equity Shares issued and remaining issuable immediately after such expiration, and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon expiration of any further such right.

14.

Rules Regarding Calculation of Adjustment of Exercise Price


(a)

The adjustments provided for in Section 13 are cumulative and will, in the case of adjustments to the Exercise Price, be computed to the nearest one-tenth of one cent and will be made successively whenever an event referred to therein occurs, subject to the following subsections of this Section 14.

   
(b)

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

   
(c)

No adjustment in the Exercise Price will be made in respect of any event described in Section 13, other than the events referred to in clauses 13(a)(iii) and (iv), if the Holder is entitled to participate in such event on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as if the Holder had exercised this Warrant prior to or on the effective date or record date of such event.

   
(d)

No adjustment in the Exercise Price will be made under Section 13 in respect of the issue from time to time of Common Shares issuable from time to time as dividends paid in the ordinary course to holders of Common Shares who exercise an option or election to receive substantially equivalent dividends in Common Shares in lieu of receiving a cash dividend, and any such issue will be deemed not to be a Common Share Reorganization.

   
(e)

If at any time a dispute arises with respect to adjustments provided for in Section 13, such dispute will be conclusively determined by such firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by action by the directors of the Company and any such determination, where required, will be binding upon the Company, the Holder and shareholders of the Company. The Company will provide such accountants with access to all necessary records of the Company.

   
(f)

In case the Company after the date of issuance of this Warrant takes any action affecting the Common Shares, other than action described in Section 13, which in the opinion of the board of directors of the Company would materially affect the rights of the Holder, the Exercise Price will be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time, by action by the directors of the Company but subject in all cases to the prior written consent of the TSX Venture Exchange, where required, and any necessary regulatory approval.

   
(g)

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

- 13 -


   
(h)

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

   
(i)

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

   
(j)

The Company will from time to time, immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in Section 13, forthwith give notice to the Holder specifying the event requiring such adjustment or readjustment and the results thereof, including the resulting Exercise Price.

   
(k)

The Company covenants to and in favour of the Holder that so long as this Warrant remains outstanding, it will give notice to the Holder of its intention to fix a record date for any event referred to in subsections 13(a), (b) or (c) (other than the subdivision or consolidation of the Common Shares) which may give rise to an adjustment in the Exercise Price, and, in each case, such notice must specify the particulars of such event and the record date and the effective date for such event; provided that the Company is only required to specify in such notice such particulars of such event as have been fixed and determined on the date on which such notice is given. Such notice shall be given not less than 14 days prior to each such applicable record date or effective date.


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

  (i)

the successor corporation will have assumed all the covenants and obligations of the Company under this Warrant; and

     
  (ii)

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

- 14 -



(b)

Whenever the conditions of subsection 15(a) shall have been duly observed and performed the successor corporation shall possess, and from time to time may exercise, each and every right and power of the Company under this Warrant in the name of the Company or otherwise and any act or proceeding by any provision hereof required to be done or performed by any director or officer of the Company may be done and performed with like force and effect by the like directors or officers of the successor corporation.

The undersigned holder understands that the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act and will remain “restricted securities” notwithstanding any resale within or outside the United States unless the sale is completed pursuant to an effective registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act or in accordance with Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act.
