all Common Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by the Warrants will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, except with respect to any applicable withholding taxes; and

8.
	
Anti-Dilution Protection 





	
 
	
(a)
	
The Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares issuable to the Holder upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in the events and in the manner provided as follows: 





	
 
	
(i)
	
If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Company shall: 





	
 
	
(A)
	
fix a record date for the issue of, or issue, Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a share dividend; 





	
 
	
(B)
	
fix a record date for the distribution to, or make a distribution to, the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares payable in Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares; 





	
 
	
(C)
	
subdivide the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares; or 





	
 
	
(D)
	
consolidate the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares, 




(any of such events in subsections (A), (B), (C) and (D) above being called a “Common Share Reorganization”), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted on the earlier of the record date on which holders of Common Shares are determined for the purposes of the Common Share Reorganization and the effective date of the Common Share Reorganization to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date or effective date, as the case may be, by a fraction: 


	
 
	
(A)
	
the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date or effective date, as the case may be, before giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization; and 




 



- 6 -

 


	
 
	
(B)
	
the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares which will be outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization (including, 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 had such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares on such record date or effective date, as the case may be).




To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this Section 8(a)(i) as a result of the fixing by the Company of a record date for the distribution of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exchange or conversion 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 expiry and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right.


	
 
	
(ii)
	
If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Company shall fix a record date for the issue or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares of rights, options or warrants pursuant to which such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue (such period being the “Rights Period”), to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares at a price per share to the holder (or in the case of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, at an exchange or conversion price per share) at the date of issue of such securities of less than the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date (any of such events being called a “Rights Offering”), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date for such Rights Offering to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction: 





	
 
	
(A)
	
the numerator of which shall be the aggregate of: 





	
 
	
(1)
	
the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date for the Rights Offering, and 





	
 
	
(2)
	
the quotient determined by dividing 





	
 
	
I.
	
either (a) the product of the number of Common Shares offered during the Rights Period pursuant to the Rights Offering and the price at which such Common Shares are offered, or (b) the product of the exchange or conversion price of the securities so offered and the number of Common Shares for or into which the securities offered pursuant to the Rights Offering may be exchanged or converted, as the case may be, by 





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




 



- 7 -

 


	
 
	
(B)
	
the denominator of which shall be the aggregate of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the number of Common Shares offered pursuant to the Rights Offering (including in the case of the issue or distribution of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares the number of Common Shares for or into which such securities may be exchanged or converted).




If by the terms of the rights, options, or warrants referred to in this Section 8(a)(ii), 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 or exchangeable securities so offered, shall be calculated for purposes of the adjustment on the basis of the lowest purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, as the case may be. Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such calculation. To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this Section 8(a)(ii) as a result of the fixing by the Company of a record date for the issue or distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 8(a)(ii), the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry 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 expiry and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right. 


	
 
	
(iii)
	
If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Company shall fix a record date for the issue or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares of: 





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





	
 
	
(B)
	
rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares (other than rights, options or warrants pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares at a price per share (or in the case of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares at an exchange or conversion price per share) at the date of issue of such securities to the holder of at least the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date);





	
 
	
(C)
	
evidences of indebtedness of the Company; or





	
 
	
(D)
	
any property or assets of the Company;




and if such issue or distribution does not constitute a Common Share Reorganization or a Rights Offering (any of such non-excluded events being called a “Special Distribution”), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date for the Special Distribution to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on the record date for the Special Distribution by a fraction:

 



- 8 -

 


	
 
	
(1)
	
the numerator of which shall be the difference between:





	
 
	
I.
	
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, and





	
 
	
II.
	
the fair value, as determined in good faith by the directors of the Company, to the holders of Common Shares of the shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or property or assets to be issued or distributed in the Special Distribution; and





	
 
	
(2)
	
the denominator of which shall be the product obtained by multiplying the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date 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 shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of such calculation. To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this Section 8(a)(iii) as a result of the fixing by the Company of a record date for the issue or distribution of rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares referred to in this Section 8(a)(iii), the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exercise, exchange or conversion right to the amount which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares issued and remaining issuable after such expiry and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right. 


	
 
	
(iv)
	
If at any time during the Adjustment Period there shall occur:





	
 
	
(A)
	
a reclassification or redesignation of the Common Shares, any change of the Common Shares into other shares or securities or any other capital reorganization involving the Common Shares other than a Common Share Reorganization;





	
 
	
(B)
	
a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Company with or into another body corporate which results in a reclassification or redesignation of the Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other shares or securities; 





	
 
	
(C)
	
the transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another company or entity; 




(any of such events being called a “Capital Reorganization”), after the effective date of the Capital Reorganization the Holder shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept, for the same aggregate consideration, upon exercise of the Warrants, in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which the Holder was theretofore entitled upon the exercise of the Warrants, the kind and aggregate number of shares and other securities or property resulting from the Capital Reorganization which the Holder 

 



- 9 -

 

would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares which the Holder was theretofore entitled to purchase or receive upon the exercise of the Warrants. If necessary, as a result of any such Capital Reorganization, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant Certificate with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be possible in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants.


	
 
	
(v)
	
If at any time during the Adjustment Period any adjustment or readjustment in the Exercise Price shall occur pursuant to the provisions of Sections 8(a)(i) or 8(a)(iii) of this Warrant Certificate, then the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the subsequent exercise of the Warrants shall be simultaneously adjusted or readjusted, as the case may be, by multiplying the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment by a fraction which shall be the reciprocal of the fraction used in the adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price.





	
 
	
(b)
	
The following rules and procedures shall be applicable to adjustments made pursuant to Section 8(a) of this Warrant Certificate:





	
 
	
(i)
	
subject to the following sections of this Section 8(b), any adjustment made pursuant to Section 8(a) of this Warrant Certificate shall be made successively whenever an event referred to therein shall occur;





	
 
	
(ii)
	
no adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least one percent in the then Exercise Price and no adjustment shall be made in the number of Common Shares purchasable or issuable on the exercise of the Warrants unless it would result in a change of at least one one-hundredth of a Common Share; provided, however, that any adjustments which except for the provision of this Section 8(b)(ii) would otherwise have been required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 8(a) of this Warrant Certificate, no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made which would result in an increase in the Exercise Price or a decrease in the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants (except in respect of a consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares); 





	
 
	
(iii)
	
if at any time during the Adjustment Period the Company shall take any action affecting the Common Shares, other than an action or event described in Section 8(a) of this Warrant Certificate, which in the opinion of the directors of the Company would have an adverse effect upon the rights of the Holder, the Exercise Price and/or the number of Common Shares purchasable under the Warrants shall, subject to any necessary regulatory approval, be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the directors of the Company may determine to be equitable in the circumstances, provided that no such action shall be taken unless and until the Holder has been provided with notice of such proposed action and the consequences thereof; 




 



- 10 -

 


	
 
	
(iv)
	
if the Company sets a record date to determine holders of Common Shares for the purpose of entitling such holders to receive any dividend or distribution or any subscription or purchase rights and shall thereafter and before the distribution to such holders of any such dividend, distribution or subscription or purchase rights legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution or subscription or purchase rights, then no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares purchasable under the Warrants shall be required by reason of the setting of such record date;





	
 
	
(v)
	
no adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number or kind of securities purchasable on the exercise of the Warrants shall be made in respect of any event described in Section 8 of this Warrant Certificate if (subject to TSX and NYSE approval) the Holder is entitled to participate in such event on the same terms mutatis mutandis as if the Holder had exercised the Warrants prior to or on the record date or effective date, as the case may be, of such event. Any such participation by the Holder is subject to regulatory approval; and





	
 
	
(vi)
	
in any case in which this Warrant Certificate shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to in Section 8(a) hereof, the Company may defer, until the occurrence of such event: 





	
 
	
(A)
	
issuing to the Holder, to the extent that the Warrants are exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event, the additional Common Shares issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event; and 





	
 
	
(B)
	
delivering to the Holder any distribution declared with respect to such additional Common Shares after such record date and before such event; 




provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to the Holder an appropriate instrument evidencing the right of the Holder upon the occurrence of the event requiring the adjustment, to an adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants and to such distribution declared with respect to any such additional Common Shares issuable on the exercise of the Warrants. 


	
 
	
(c)
	
At least 10 days prior to the earlier of the record date or effective date of any event which requires or might require an adjustment in any of the rights of the Holder under this Warrant Certificate, including the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant Certificate, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a certificate of the Company specifying the particulars of such event and, if determinable, the required adjustment and the calculation of such adjustment. In case any adjustment for which a notice in this Section 8(c) has been given is not then determinable, the Company shall promptly after such adjustment is determinable deliver to the Holder a certificate providing the calculation of such adjustment. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not take any action which might deprive the Holder of the opportunity of exercising the rights of subscription contained in this Warrant Certificate, during such 10 day period.




 



- 11 -

 


	
 
	
(d)
	
In connection with any: (i) reclassification or redesignation of the Common Shares, any change of the Common Shares into other shares or securities or any other capital reorganization involving the Common Shares other than as set forth in this Section 8; (ii) consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Company with or into another body corporate which results in a reclassification or redesignation of the Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other shares or securities (including, without limitation, pursuant to a “take-over bid”, “tender offer” or other acquisition of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares); or (iii) sale, transfer or lease to another corporation of all or substantially all the property or assets of the Company, the Holder shall have the right thereafter, upon payment of the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such action, to purchase upon exercise of each Warrant the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of such reclassification, redesignation, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, sale, transfer or lease had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such action, and the Holder shall be bound to accept such shares and other securities and property in lieu of the Common Shares to which it was previously entitled; provided, however, that no adjustment in respect of dividends, interest or other income on or from such shares or other securities and property shall be made during the term of a Warrant or upon the exercise of a Warrant. If necessary, as a result of any actions contemplated by this paragraph, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant Certificate with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be possible in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants. The provisions of this paragraph shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, amalgamation, sales, transfers or leases.

U.S. Registration 




This Warrant and the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or under state securities laws of any state in the United States. Accordingly, this Warrant may not be transferred or exercised in the United States or by or on behalf of a U.S. Person or a person in the United States unless an exemption is available from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and, if required by the Company, the holder of this Warrant has furnished an opinion of counsel of recognized standing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company to such effect, as applicable.


	
10.
	
Authorized Shares 




As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to Section 8 of this Warrant Certificate, the Company shall take any action which may be necessary in order that the Company has issued and reserved in its authorized capital, and may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable, all of the Common Shares (or other shares and securities, if applicable) which the Holder of the Warrants is entitled to receive on the exercise hereof.

Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificate 




Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of a bond or indemnity satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender or cancellation of this Warrant Certificate, the Company will issue to the Holder a new warrant certificate of like tenor, in lieu of this Warrant Certificate, representing the right to subscribe for and purchase the number of Common Shares which may be subscribed for and purchased hereunder.
