                Shares;

            


    

     

    
      	
               

            	
              (d)

            	
              there
                has been an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or other reorganization
                affecting the Corporation (resulting in an exchange of all of the
                outstanding Common Shares for shares of another corporation);
                or

            


    

     

    
      	
               

            	
              (e)

            	
              there
                has been a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of
                the
                Corporation to another Corporation or
                entity,

            


    

     

    (any
      of
      such events being referred to in this subparagraph 4.7 as a
“Change”), then the Agent, in exercising its Agent’s Warrant,
      whether in whole or in part, after the effective date of the Change shall be
      entitled to receive and shall accept and the Corporation shall deliver upon
      such
      exercise in accordance with this Agreement, in lieu of the number of Common
      Shares deliverable prior to the effective date of this Change, the aggregate
      number and kinds of Common Shares or other securities or amount of property
      which the Agent would have been entitled to as a result of the Change if, on
      the
      effective date thereof, it had been the registered holder of the number of
      Common Shares it would have received had it exercised the Agent’s Warrant or
      relevant portion hereof immediately before the effective date of the
      Change.  The adjustments provided for in this subparagraph 4.7 shall
      be cumulative.  The necessary adjustments shall be made in the
      application of the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the rights
      and
      options of the Agent after any Change to the end that the provisions hereof
      shall thereafter correspondingly apply, as nearly as may reasonably be, in
      relation to any Common Shares or other securities or property to which the
      Agent
      is entitled on the exercise of the Agent’s Warrant granted
      hereunder.  The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after
      becoming aware of any Change, notify the Agent thereof and set forth in a
      supplement to this Agreement approved by the board of directors of the
      Corporation the adjustment resulting from such Change.  In the event
      that the Agent shall disagree with an adjustment, the Corporation’s auditors at
      the sole expense of the Corporation shall determine the adjustment
      conclusively.

    The
      Agent’s Warrant may not be exercised within the United States by or on behalf of
      any U.S. person or person in the United States, nor will certificates
      representing Common Shares be delivered in the United States unless the Common
      Shares issuable upon exercise of the Agent’s Warrant are registered under the
U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the securities laws of all
      applicable states of the United States or an exemption from such registration
      requirement is available.  If the Agent exercises the Agent’s Warrant
      it shall provide to the Corporation either: (i) written certification that
      it is not a U.S. person and that such options are not being exercised within
      the
      United States or on behalf of, or for the account of, a U.S. person or a person
      in the United States; or (ii) a written opinion of counsel or other
      evidence satisfactory to the Corporation to the effect that the Common Shares
      have been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
      and applicable state securities laws or are exempt from registration
      thereunder.

              Legends

            


    

     

    Any
      Common Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Agent’s Warrant prior to
      January 29, 2008, will bear the following legends:

     

    “Unless
      permitted under securities legislation, the holder of this security must not
      trade the securities before January 29, 2008,”

     

    and

     

    “These
      securities were issued in an offshore transaction to persons who are not U.S.
      persons pursuant to Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of
      1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).  Accordingly, none of the
      securities to which this certificate relates have been registered under the
      1933
      Act, or any U.S. State Securities Laws, and, unless so registered, none may
      be
      offered or sold in the United States or, directly or indirectly, to U.S. persons
      except pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to an
      exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration
      requirements of the 1933 Act and in each case only in accordance with applicable
      state securities laws.  In addition, hedging transactions involving
      the securities may not be conducted unless in accordance with the 1933
      Act.”

     

    and
      if
      applicable:

     

    “Without
      prior written approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and compliance with all
      applicable securities legislation, the securities represented by this
      certificate may not be sold, transferred, hypothecated or otherwise traded
      on or
      through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange or otherwise in Canada or
      to
      or for the benefit of a Canadian resident until January 29,
      2008.”

              all
                Common Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the Agent’s Warrant
                (assuming, in each case, receipt by the Corporation of the applicable
                Exercise Price therefore), upon issuance, be validly issued and fully
                paid
                and non-assessable shares and, in each case free from any and all
                taxes,
                liens and charges relating to the issuance thereof;
                and

                all times during the term as set out in subparagraph 2.1, the Corporation
                shall have authorized and reserved for issuance a sufficient number
                of
                Common Shares to provide for the exercise of the Agent’s rights
                hereunder.

              Notice
                of Record Date

            


    

     

    Subject
      to any requirement for a longer notice period pursuant to applicable law, at
      least 21 calendar days prior to the effective date or record date, as the case
      may be, of any event referred to in subsection 4.7, whether or not the event
      requires or might require an adjustment in the rights hereto, the Corporation
      shall give notice to the Agent of the particulars of such event and, if
      determinable, any adjustment, provided that in case any adjustment for which
      a
      notice has been given is not then determinable, the Corporation shall promptly
      after such adjustment is determinable give notice to the Agent of the
      adjustment.

     

    The
      Corporation covenants with the Agent that it will not close its transfer books
      or take any other corporate action which might deprive the Agent of the
      opportunity to exercise its rights of acquisition pursuant thereto during the
      period of 21 calendar days after the giving of the notices.

    The
      Agent’s Warrant will not prevent the Corporation from amalgamating or otherwise
      merging with another corporation or corporations, if the resulting entity is
      bound or agrees to be bound by the terms of the Agent’s Warrant.

      the
      Corporation is amalgamated or otherwise merged with or into any other
      corporation or corporations, the successor corporation formed by such
      consolidation or amalgamation, or into which the Corporation is merged will
      be
      substituted for the Corporation hereunder.  Such changes in
      phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Agent’s Warrant
      as may be appropriate in view of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or
      transfer.

              The
                Agent may exercise its right to subscribe for Common Shares by completing
                this form and surrendering this form and the certificate representing
                the
                Agent’s Warrant being exercised to the Corporation at its principal
                office, together with cash, a certified cheque, bank draft or money
                order
                payable to or to the order of the Corporation in an amount equal
                to the
                applicable Exercise Price (as defined in the Agent’s Warrant certificate)
                multiplied by the number of Common Shares subscribed
                for.  Certificates for Common Shares will be delivered or mailed
                within five business days after the exercise of the Agent’s
                Warrant.

            


    

     

    
      	
              2.

            	
              If
                the Subscription Form indicates that Common Shares are to be issued
                to a
                person or persons other than the Agent, the signature of such holder
                on
                the Subscription Form must be guaranteed by a Schedule “I” major chartered
                bank/trust company, or a member of an acceptable Medallion Guarantee
                Program.  The guarantor must affix a stamp bearing the words:
                “Signature Guaranteed”.

            


    

     

    Please
      note that signature guarantees are not accepted from treasury branches or credit
      unions unless they are members of the stamp medallion program.

     

    
      	
              3.

            	
              If
                the Subscription Form is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator,
                curator, guardian, attorney, officer of a corporation or any person
                acting
                in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such form and the Agent’s
                Warrant certificate must be accompanied by evidence of authority
                to sign
                satisfactory to the Corporation.
