  2.6

The countersignature of or on behalf of the Warrant Agent shall, however, be a representation and warranty by the Warrant Agent that the Warrant Certificate has been duly countersigned by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture or the Warrant Certificate.
   - 8 -
  
  2.7
Exchange of Warrant Certificates
  The holder of a Warrant Certificate may at any time after the date of issue thereof and before the Warrant Expiry Time, upon surrender thereof to the Warrant Agent at its principal transfer office in the City of Toronto, Ontario or at any other place that is designated by the Company with the approval of the Warrant Agent, exchange the same for Warrant Certificates entitling the holder to subscribe in the aggregate for the same number of Shares for which the holder may subscribe under the surrendered Warrant Certificate.  On each exchange, the Warrant Agent may levy a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid, which shall be paid by the party requesting the exchange, and, in addition, a reasonable charge for every Warrant Certificate issued upon the exchange and such additional charge shall be paid by the Company promptly, as a condition precedent thereto.

  2.8.2           The applicant for the issue of a new certificate pursuant to this section will bear the cost of the issue thereof and in case of loss, destruction or theft will, as a condition precedent to the issue thereof furnish to the Company and the Warrant Agent such evidence of ownership and of the loss, destruction or theft of the certificate to be replaced as is satisfactory to the Company and to the Warrant Agent in their discretion.
  2.8.3           The Warrant Agent and the Company may require such applicant to furnish an indemnity and surety bond in amount and form satisfactory to the Company and to the Warrant Agent, in their discretion, and the applicant shall pay the reasonable charges of the Company and the Warrant Agent in connection therewith.

  2.9.3           Upon compliance with all conditions required by this Indenture or any applicable laws, the transferee is entitled to be, and shall be, entered on one of the registers as the owner of the Warrants free from all equities or rights of set-off or counterclaim between the Company and his transferor or any previous holder of the Warrants, save in respect of the equities of which the Company is required to take notice by statute or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction or by applicable law.
  2.9.4           The Company shall also cause to be kept by the Warrant Agent at the principal office of the Warrant Agent in the City of Toronto, Ontario and at such other place or places, if any, as the Company may designate with the approval of the Warrant Agent, registers in which all transfers of Warrants and the date and other particulars of each transfer shall be set out.

  2.9.6           Subject to the provisions of this Indenture and applicable law, the registered Warrantholder is entitled to the rights and privileges attaching to the Warrants, and the issue of Shares by the Company on exercise of Warrants by any Warrantholder thereof in accordance with the terms and conditions herein contained discharges all responsibilities of the Company and the Warrant Agent with respect to such Warrants and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent is bound to inquire into the title of any such registered holder.
  2.9.7           The Company and the Warrant Agent shall deem and treat the registered holder of any Warrant as the absolute legal and beneficial owner thereof for all purposes and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent is affected by any notice to the contrary.

  2.9.8           Subject to applicable law, neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be bound to take notice of or see to the execution of any trust, whether express, implied or constructive, in respect of any Warrant or Warrant Certificate, and may transfer the same on the direction of the person registered as the holder thereof, as though that person were the beneficial owner thereof.
  2.9.9           The register required to be kept in the City of Toronto, Ontario shall at all reasonable times during the regular business hours of the Warrant Agent be open for inspection by the Company or any Warrantholder.  The Warrant Agent shall from time to time when requested to do so by the Company or by a Warrantholder and, if required, by the Warrant Agent, upon payment by the Company or Warrantholder of a reasonable fee, furnish the Company or the Warrantholder, as the case may be, with a list of names and addresses of holders of Warrants entered on the registers kept by them and showing the number of Warrants held by each such holder.

  2.10.1           Subject to the rights which are hereby conferred upon the Warrant Agent and subject to the provisions of Section 8.1, all or any of the rights conferred upon a Warrantholder by the terms of the Warrants held by him and/or by the terms of this Indenture may be enforced by such Warrantholder by appropriate legal proceedings.  The Warrant Agent shall also have the power at any time and from time to time to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may reasonably be advised shall be necessary or advisable to preserve and protect the interests of the Warrantholder.
  2.10.2           No Warrantholder (whether acting alone or with any number of other Warrantholders) has any right to institute any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity for the purpose of enforcing the execution of any trust or power hereunder or for the appointment of a liquidator or receiver or for a receiving order under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) or to have the Company wound up or to file or prove a claim in any liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings or for any other remedy hereunder unless the Warrantholders by Extraordinary Resolution have made a request to the Warrant Agent and the Warrant Agent has been afforded reasonable opportunity (not to exceed 30 days) to proceed or complete any action or suit for any such purpose whether or not in its own name and the Warrantholders or any or them have furnished to the Warrant Agent, when so requested by the Warrant Agent sufficient funds and security and indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby and the Warrant Agent has failed to act within a reasonable time (not to exceed 30 days) or the Warrant Agent has failed to actively pursue any such act or proceeding (not to exceed 30 days).
  2.10.3           Subject to Applicable Legislation, no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in the Warrant Certificates shall be had against any shareholder, officer or director, past, present or future, of the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries or of any successor corporation or any subsidiary, either directly or through the Company, or the Subsidiaries.
  2.10.4           This Indenture and the Warrants issued hereunder are solely obligations of the Company and, subject to Applicable Legislation, no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to or be incurred by the shareholders, officers or directors, past, present or future, of the Company, or of any of its Subsidiaries, or any successor corporations, under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture or in the Warrant Certificates; and any personal liability of any nature whatsoever either at common law, in equity or by statute, and any right or claim against any such shareholder, officer or director are hereby expressly waived as a condition of and as consideration for the execution of this Indenture and the issue of the Warrants.

Warrants to Rank Pari Passu

  2.12
Notice to Warrantholders
  2.12.1           Unless herein otherwise expressly provided, a notice to be given hereunder to Warrantholders will be deemed to be validly given if the notice is sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders or delivered by hand or prepaid overnight courier (or so mailed to certain holders and so delivered to the other holders) at their respective addresses appearing on any of the registers above mentioned; and if in the case of joint holders of any Warrant more than one address appears on the register in respect of the joint holding, the notice shall be addressed or delivered, as the case may be, only to the first address so appearing.
  2.12.2           Any notice so given by mail or so delivered by hand shall be deemed to have been given on the fifth business day after it has been mailed or on the day upon which it has been delivered, or if sent by facsimile on the first business day following the transmission, as the case may be.  In determining under any provision hereof the date when notice of any meeting or other event must be given, the date of giving the notice shall be included and the date of the meeting or other event shall be excluded.  Accidental error or omission in giving notice or accidental failure to mail notice to any Warrantholder shall not invalidate any action or proceeding founded thereon.
  2.12.3           If, by reason of a strike, lockout or other work stoppage, actual or threatened, involving postal employees, a notice to be given to the Warrantholders hereunder could reasonably be considered unlikely to reach or to be delayed in reaching its destination, the notice will be valid and effective only if it is published once in the Report on Business section in the national edition of The Globe and Mailnewspaper, or, if there is a disruption of circulation of that newspaper, once in an English language newspaper of general circulation and approved by the Warrant Agent in the Cities of Vancouver, Calgary, Regina, Winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal and, in the case of notice convening a meeting of Warrantholders, with such additional publications, in the same or in other cities or both, as the Warrant Agent deems necessary for the reasonable protection of the Warrantholders or to comply with any applicable requirement of law or a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed and if a daily newspaper of general circulation is not, for any reason, published at the time in the English language in any city, the notice may be published in any other publication available in that city as is acceptable to the Warrant Agent.  A notice so given will be deemed to have been given on the day on which it has been published in all of the cities in which publication was required (or first published in all the cities if more than one publication in any of them is required).

  2.15
Reliance by the Warrant Agent
  The Warrant Agent shall have no obligation to ensure or verify compliance with any applicable laws or regulatory requirements on the issue, exercise or transfer of any Warrants or any Shares issuable upon the exercise thereof, provided such issue, exercise or transfer, as the case may be, is effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The Warrant Agent shall be entitled to process all transfers and exercises of Warrants effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement upon the presumption that such transfers or exercises are permissible pursuant to all applicable laws and regulatory requirements.  The Warrant Agent may assume for the purposes of this Agreement that any address on the register of the Warrantholders is the holder’s actual address and is also determinative as to residency and that the address of any transferee to whom any Shares or Warrants are to be registered, as shown on the transfer document, is the transferee’s residency.  The Warrant Agent shall have no obligation to ensure that any legends appearing on the Share certificates or Warrant Certificates comply with regulatory requirements or securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction, but shall ensure that the applicable legends required to be placed on the certificates evidencing the Shares and Warrants pursuant to this Agreement are placed thereon.
  2.16
Purchase of Warrants for Cancellation
  Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Corporation may, at any time and from time to time, purchase the Warrants by invitation for tender, by private contact, on any stock exchange, in the open market or otherwise (which will include a purchase through an investment dealer or firm holding membership on a Canadian stock exchange) on such terms as the Corporation may determine. All Warrants purchased pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.16 will forthwith be delivered to, cancelled and destroyed by the Warrant Agent and will not be reissued. If required by the Corporation, the Warrant Agent will furnish the Corporation with a certificate as to such destruction.

  ARTICLE 3
 EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
  3.1
Method of Exercise of Warrants
  3.1.1           A Warrantholder may, at any time before the Warrant Expiry Time, exercise all or any number of the Warrants which remain outstanding and are then held by the Warrantholder.
  3.1.2           Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article, the holder of any Warrant Certificate may exercise the right of purchase therein provided for by surrendering the Warrant Certificate to the Warrant Agent at its principal transfer office in the City of Toronto, Ontario, or at such additional place or places as may be designated by the Company from time to time with the approval of the Warrant Agent during normal business hours on a business day at that place before the Warrant Expiry Time, together with the Warrant Exercise Form duly completed and executed by the holder for the number of Shares which the holder desires to purchase and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price applicable at the time of the surrender calculated in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.  The aggregate Exercise Price for Shares subscribed for under the Warrants shall be paid by certified cheque, bank draft or money order payable to or to the order of the Company at par at the city where the Warrant Certificate is surrendered.
  3.1.3           Surrender of a Warrant Certificate with the Warrant Exercise Form duly completed and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price will be deemed to have been effected, and Warrants shall be deemed to have been exercised, only on personal delivery thereof to, or if sent by mail or other means of transmission on actual receipt thereof by, the Warrant Agent at one of the offices specified in this section.  The exercise form attached to the Warrant Certificates shall not be deemed to be duly completed if the name and mailing address of the holder do not appear legibly on such exercise form and such exercise form is not signed by the holder, his executors, administrators, other legal representatives or such holder’s attorney duly appointed.
  3.1.4           Every Warrant Exercise Form shall be signed by the holder of the Warrant Certificate who desires to exercise in whole or in part the right of purchase therein provided for; (as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture) shall specify the number of Shares that the subscriber wishes to purchase (being not more than he is entitled to purchase under the Warrant Certificate (as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture)), the person or persons in whose name or names the Shares which the subscriber desires to purchase are to be issued and his or their address or addresses and the number of Shares to be issued to each such person, and if more than one is so specified, the form shall have one of the boxes in the Warrant Exercise Form checked; and shall be substantially in the form set out in the Warrant Certificate.
  3.1.5           If any Shares subscribed for are to be issued to a person or persons other than the Warrantholder, the Warrantholder must pay to the Company or to the Warrant Agent on his behalf an amount equal to all applicable transfer taxes or other applicable government charges, and the Company will not be required to issue or deliver any certificate evidencing any Shares unless or until that amount has been so paid or the Warrantholder has established to the satisfaction of the Company that the taxes and charges have been paid or that no taxes or charges are owing.
   - 15 -
  
  3.1.6           The Warrants and the Shares issuable upon exercise thereof have not been registered under the 1933 Act or the securities law of any state of the United States, and the Warrants may not be exercised within the United States or by or on behalf of any U.S. Person unless the Warrants and the Shares are registered under the 1933 Act and the securities laws of all applicable states of the United States or an exemption from such registration requirements is available.  No exercise of any Warrants shall be effective, and no certificate representing Shares shall be issued or registered pursuant to the exercise of Warrants, unless the Warrant Exercise Form is executed specifying that the holder did not acquire the Warrants in the United States or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person or a person in the United States, is not in the United States or a U.S. Person, is not exercising the Warrants on behalf of a U.S. Person or a person in the United States, and did not execute or deliver the Warrant Exercise Form in the United States.
  3.2
Effect of the Exercise of Warrants
  Subject to Section 3.8, on exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall cause to be issued to the person or persons in whose name or names the Shares so subscribed for are to be issued as specified in the Warrant Exercise Form, the number of Shares to be issued to such person or persons and such person or persons shall become a Shareholder or Shareholders of the Company in respect of those Shares with effect from the date on which the Warrant is exercised and shall be entitled to delivery of a certificate or certificates evidencing the Shares and the Company shall cause the certificate or certificates to be mailed by first class, insured mail or delivered as specified to such person or persons (or, if applicable, the trustee under the registered retirement savings plan which holds the Shares) at the address or addresses specified in the Warrant Exercise Form within five business days of the date on which the Warrant is exercised.
  3.3
Partial Exercise of Warrants
  A Warrantholder may exercise less than all of the Warrants held by such Warrantholder.  In the event of any exercise of a number of Warrants less than the number which the holder is entitled to receive, the Warrantholder upon such exercise shall, in addition, be entitled to receive without charge therefor, a new Warrant Certificate(s) in respect of the balance of the Warrants represented by the surrendered Warrant Certificate and which are not then exercised.
  3.4
Cancellation of Warrants
  All Warrants exercised as provided in Section 3.1, partially exercised as provided in Section 3.3, or exchanged for other Warrants as provided in Section 2.7 or otherwise surrendered to the Warrant Agent shall be cancelled and either held by the Warrant Agent until termination of this Indenture or resignation of the Warrant Agent or destroyed by the Warrant Agent at the direction of the Company or after the period of retention required for such certificates and, if required by the Company, the Warrant Agent shall furnish the Company with a certificate as to the destruction.
   - 16 -
  
  3.5
Expiration of Warrants
  After the Warrant Expiry Time, all rights under this Indenture and under any Warrant that has not been exercised shall wholly cease and terminate and the Warrant Certificate therefor shall be wholly void and of no effect.
  3.6
Adjustment of the Exercise Price and Subscription Rights
  3.6.1           In this section, the terms “record date” and “effective date” where used herein, shall mean the close of business on the relevant date.
  3.6.2           If and whenever at any time from the date hereof until the Warrant Expiry Time, the Company shall:
  (a)
fix a record date for the issue of, or issues Shares or Convertible Securities to all or substantially all of the holders of Shares by way of stock dividend or other distribution;
  (b)
subdivides, re-divides or changes the outstanding Shares into a greater number of shares;
  (c)
fix a record date for the distribution to, or make a distribution to, the holders of all or substantially all of the Shares or Convertible Securities; or
  (d)
combines, consolidates or reduces the outstanding Shares into a lesser number of shares,
  (each of such events being herein called a “Share Reorganization”), the Exercise Price will be adjusted effective immediately on the earlier of (i) the record date on which holders of Shares are determined for the purposes of the Share Reorganization and (ii) the effective date of the Share Reorganization, to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately before that effective date or record date before giving effect to such Share Reorganization by a fraction:
  (A)
the numerator of which is the total number of Shares outstanding on that effective date or record date before giving effect to the Share Reorganization, and
  (B)
the denominator of which is the total number of Shares that are or would be outstanding immediately after that effective date or record date after giving effect to the Share Reorganization and assuming all Convertible Securities issued as part of the Share Reorganization had then been converted into or exchanged for Shares or all rights to acquire Shares had then been exercised.
   - 17 -
  
  For the purposes of determining the number of Shares outstanding at any particular time there shall be included that number of Shares which would have resulted from the conversion or exchange at that time of all Convertible Securities of the Company (other than any Convertible Securities issued to holders of Shares by way of a stock dividend or other distribution and otherwise included in computing the denominator in clause (B) hereof).  Shares (and Shares issuable upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities) issued or to be issued under a Share Reorganization shall be deemed to be outstanding on the record date or effective date for such Share Reorganization for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Shares under Sections 3.6.3 and 3.6.5.  To the extent that any Convertible Securities issued to holders of Shares by way of a stock dividend or other distribution are not so converted or exchanged into or for Shares before the expiration of the right to do so, the Exercise Price shall then be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Shares actually issued upon the conversion or exchange of the Convertible Securities.
  To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this Section 3.6.2 as a result of the fixing by the Company of a record date for the distribution of Convertible Securities, 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 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.
  3.6.3           If and whenever at any time from the date hereof to the Warrant Expiry Time, the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance or distribution of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of the outstanding Shares entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue, (the “Rights Period”), to subscribe for or purchase Shares or Convertible Securities at a price per Share (or having a conversion price per Share on the date of issue of such Convertible Securities) less than 95% of the Current Market Price on the record date (any such issuance being herein called a “Rights Offering”), the Exercise Price will be adjusted on the record date for the Rights Offering to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction:
  (a)
the numerator of which shall be the aggregate of
  (i)
the number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the record date for the Rights Offering; and
  (ii)
the quotient determined by dividing
  (A)
either (a) the product of the number of Shares offered during the Rights Period pursuant to the Rights Offering and the price at which such Shares are offered, or, (b) the product of the exchange or conversion price of the securities so offered and the number of Shares for or into which the securities offered pursuant to the Rights Offering may be exchanged or converted, as the case may be, by
   - 18 -
  
  (B)
the Current Market Price of the Shares as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and
  (b)
the denominator of which shall be the aggregate of the number of Shares outstanding on such record date and the number of Shares offered pursuant to the Rights Offering (including in the case of the issue or distribution of Convertible Securities the number of Shares for or into which such securities may be exchanged or converted).
  Any Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or any Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of such calculation.  If by the terms of the rights, options, or warrants referred to in this Section 3.6.3, there is more than one purchase, conversion or exchange price per Share, the aggregate price of the total number of additional 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 Share, as the case may be.  Any 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 3.6.3 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 3.6.3, 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 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.
  The adjustment shall be made successively whenever a record date is fixed, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such Shares or Convertible Securities, provided that if two or more such record dates or dates of announcement, as applicable, referred to in subsection 3.6.3 are fixed within a period of 35 trading days, the adjustment shall be made successively as if each of such record dates occurred on the earliest of such record dates.
  3.6.4           If and whenever at any time from the date hereof to the Warrant Expiry Time, the Company shall fix a record date for the issue of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of the outstanding Shares entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 45 days after such record date, to subscribe for or purchase Shares or Convertible Securities at a price per Share (or having a conversion price per Share) not less than 95% of the Current Market Price on the record date, the Exercise Price will not be adjusted.
  3.6.5           If and whenever at any time from the date hereof to the Warrant Expiry Time the Company shall fix a record date for the making of an issue or distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Shares of (a) shares or securities of any class, whether of the Company or any other entity, (b) rights, options or warrants, (c) evidences of indebtedness of the Company or a Subsidiary, or (d) any property (including cash or securities) or other assets of the Company and if such issue or distribution does not constitute a Share Reorganization or a Rights Offering (any of such events being herein called a “Special Distribution”) then, in each such case, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted on the record date to the number that is the product of the Exercise Price in effect immediately before the record date and the fraction:
   - 19 -
  
  (a)
the numerator of which shall be the difference between
  (i)
the product of the number of Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Shares on such record date, and
  (ii)
the fair value, as determined by the Directors (which determination, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive), to the holders of the Shares of the shares, securities, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or property, cash or assets to be issued or distributed in the Special Distribution, and
  (b)
the denominator of which shall be the product obtained by multiplying the number of Shares outstanding on such record date by the Current Market Price of the Shares on such record date.
  Any Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or any Affiliates 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 3.6.5 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 Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares referred to in this Section 3.6.5, 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 if the fair market value had been determined on the basis of the number of Shares issued and remaining issuable immediately after such expiry, and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right.
  The adjustment shall be made successively whenever a record date is fixed, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of Shareholders entitled to receive such Special Distribution, provided that if two or more such record dates or dates of announcement, as applicable, referred to in subsection 3.6.5 are fixed within a period of 35 trading days, the adjustment shall be made successively as if each of such record dates occurred on the earliest of such record dates.
  3.6.6           On any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to subsections 3.6.2, 3.6.3 or 3.6.5, including any readjustment, the number of Shares (or other class of securities to which a Warrantholder may be entitled in accordance with this Indenture) purchasable on exercise of a Warrant will be adjusted or readjusted as the case may be, effective at the same time as the adjustment of the Exercise Price, by multiplying the number of Shares (or other class of securities to which a Warrantholder may be entitled in accordance with this Indenture) so purchasable immediately before the adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately before the adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
   - 20 -
  
  3.6.7           Subject to the prior written approval of the Exchange if and whenever at any time from the date hereof to the Warrant Expiry Time there is:
  (a)
a reclassification or redesignation of the Shares outstanding, a change of Shares into other shares or securities, or any other capital reorganization of the Company other than a Share Reorganization, Rights Offering or Special Distribution,
  (b)
a consolidation, merger, arrangement or amalgamation of the Company with or into another body corporate or other entity resulting in a reclassification or redesignation of outstanding Shares or a change of Shares into other shares or securities, or
  (c)
a transaction whereby all or substantially all the Company’s undertaking and assets become the property of another corporation or other entity,
  (any of those events being herein called a “Corporate Reorganization”), after the effective date of the Corporate Reorganization a holder who thereafter exercises Warrants will be entitled to receive and will accept, for the Exercise Price then in effect, in lieu of the Shares (and any other securities to which Warrantholders are then entitled on the exercise of Warrants) to which he would otherwise have been entitled on exercise immediately before the Corporate Reorganization, the kind and amount of shares or other securities or property (including cash) that he would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Corporation Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, he had been the holder of the number of Shares (and any other securities to which Warrantholders are then entitled on the exercise of Warrants) to which he would have been entitled on the exercise of the Warrant or Warrants immediately before the Corporation Reorganization.
  3.6.8           As a condition precedent to taking any action that would require an adjustment pursuant to Section 3.6.7, the Company will take all action that, in the opinion of counsel, is necessary in order that the Company, any successor or any successor to its assets and undertaking, shall be obligated to and may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all the Shares or other shares or securities or property to which Warrantholders will be entitled on the exercise of Warrants thereafter.
  3.6.9           Subject to receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, if necessary as a result of any Corporate Reorganization, appropriate adjustments will be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Article 3 with respect to the rights and interests of Warrantholders to the end that the provisions set forth in this Article 3 will thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be possible to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the exercise of a Warrant.  Any such adjustment will be made by and set forth in an amendment hereto approved by the Directors and by the Warrant Agent, each acting reasonably, and will for all purposes, absent manifest error, be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.
  3.6.10           Subject to receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, in the event the purchase price provided for in any right, warrant or option issued in connection with a Rights Offering is decreased, or the conversion price for Convertible Securities issued in connection with a Share Reorganization is increased, the Exercise Price shall forthwith be changed to whatever Exercise Price would have been obtained had the adjustment made in connection with the issuance of all such rights, warrants, options or Convertible Securities been made upon the basis of the purchase price as so decreased or the conversion price as so increased, provided that the provisions of this subparagraph shall not apply to any increase or decrease resulting from provisions in any rights, warrants, options or securities designed to prevent dilution if the increase or decrease shall not have been proportionately greater than the change, if any, in the Exercise Price to be made at the same time pursuant to the provisions of this Section.
   - 21 -
  
  3.6.11           Subject to receipt of applicable regulatory approvals,  if and whenever at any time before the Warrant Expiry Time the Company shall take any action affecting or relating to the Warrants, other than any action described in this section, which in the opinion of the Warrant Agent, acting reasonably and in good faith, based upon the advice of counsel, would prejudicially affect the rights of any holders of Warrants, the Exercise Price will be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the Warrant Agent, may in good faith and based upon the advice of counsel, determine to be equitable in the circumstances to such holders.
  3.7
Adjustment Rules for Exercise Price
  The following rules and procedures will be applicable to adjustments made pursuant to Section 3.6:
  (a)
the adjustments and readjustments provided for in Section 3.6 shall be cumulative and, subject to paragraph (b), will apply (without duplication) to successive issues, subdivisions, combinations, consolidations, distributions and other events that require an adjustment;
  (b)
no adjustment in the Exercise Price, or resulting adjustment in the number of Shares issuable on exercise of Warrants, will be made unless the adjustment would result in a change of at least 0.1% in the prevailing Exercise Price and the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants would change by at least one one-hundredth of a Share; provided, that any adjustment that would have been required to be made except for the provisions of this paragraph will be carried forward and taken into account in the next adjustment;
  (c)
notwithstanding anything else herein contained, no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Shares which are issuable on the exercise of the Warrants will be made for ordinary course dividends consisting solely of cash made to all holders of Shares;
  (d)
no adjustment will be made in respect of an event described in paragraph 3.6.2(a) or subsections 3.6.3 or 3.6.5 if the Warrantholders are entitled to participate in the event on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as if they had exercised their Warrants immediately before the effective date of or record date for the event, such participation being subject to the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including Exchange approval;
   - 22 -
  
  (e)
for the purposes of subsections 3.6.2, 3.6.3, 3.6.4 or 3.6.5, there will be deemed not to be outstanding:
  (i)
any Share owned by or held for the account of the Company,
  (ii)
any Share owned by or held for the account of any Subsidiary of the Company;
  (f)
subject to the prior written consent of the Exchange, any dispute that arises at any time with respect to any adjustment pursuant to this Indenture will be conclusively determined (as between the Company, the Warrantholders, the Warrant Agent and all transfer agents and shareholders of the Company) by the auditor of the Company or, if the auditor of the Company is unable or unwilling to act, by such firm of independent chartered accountants as is selected by the Directors and is acceptable to the Warrant Agent and any determination by them, absent manifest error, will be binding on the Company, the Warrantholders, the Warrant Agent and all transfer agents and Shareholders of the Company, and the Company shall notify the Warrantholders thereof;
  (g)
in the absence of a resolution of the Directors fixing the record date for an event referred to in Section 3.6, the Company will be deemed to have fixed as the record date therefor the date on which the event is effected or such other date as may be required by applicable law;
  (h)
subject to required regulatory approvals,  as a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment in any of the rights under the Warrants, the Company will take any action which, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, may be necessary in order that the Company, or any successor to the Company or successor to the undertaking or assets of the Company will be obligated to and may validly and legally issue all the Shares or securities which the holders of the Warrants would be entitled to receive thereafter and to exercise such Warrants in accordance with the provisions hereof;
  (i)
subject to Sections 8.2 and 8.3, the Warrant Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Warrantholder to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment contemplated by Section 3.6, 3.7 or 3.11, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment made, or to review, verify or confirm any calculations made, or with respect to the method employed in making same.  The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable for the validity or value of any Shares delivered upon the exercise or deemed exercise of any Warrants and shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to make any payment, or to issue or deliver any securities or certificates represented hereby upon the exercise or deemed exercise of any Warrants;
   - 23 -
  
  (j)
if the Company, after the date hereof, shall take any action affecting any Shares which in the opinion of the Directors acting reasonably and in good faith would have a material adverse effect upon the rights of Warrantholders, the Exercise Price and/or number of Shares issuable upon exercise of Warrants shall be adjusted, subject to regulatory approval, in such manner and at such time, as the Directors, in their sole discretion acting reasonably and in good faith, may determine to be equitable in the circumstances to adjust the rights of the Warrantholders to protect against dilution in accordance with the intent and purposes of this Indenture. Provided that the Directors have made a decision not to act and such decision is endorsed by a resolution of the Directors or by minutes of a meeting of Directors, the failure of the Directors to taken any action so as to provide for an adjustment in the Exercise Price before the effective date of any action by the Company affecting the rights of Warrantholders shall be conclusive evidence, absent bad faith, manifest error or negligence that the Directors have determined it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances; and
  (k)
if the Company sets a record date to determine holders of 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, no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be required by reason of the setting of such record date.
  3.8
Postponement of Issue of Shares, etc.
  In any case in which Section 3.6 requires an adjustment to take effect immediately after the effective date of or record date for an event, and a Warrant is exercised after that date and before the consummation of the event (which in the case of rights, options and warrants will be the date the rights, options and warrants are issued), the Company may postpone until consummation issuing to the Warrantholder such of the Shares, securities or property to which he is entitled if the Warrant had been exercised immediately before that date, provided however, that the Company will deliver to the Warrantholder an appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional Shares, securities or property upon the occurrence and consummation of such event and the right to receive any dividend or other distribution in respect of such additional Shares, securities or property declared in favour of the holders of record of Shares or of such securities or property on or after that date or such later date as such holder would, but for the provisions of this Section, have become the holder of record of such additional Shares or of such securities or property pursuant to Section 3.6.
  3.9
Notice of Certain Events
  3.9.1           At least 21 business days before the effective date of or record date for any event referred to in Section 3.6 that requires or might require an adjustment in the subscription rights pursuant to a Warrant, including the Exercise Price and the number of Shares purchasable on exercise of a Warrant, the Company will:

  3.10
No Fractional Shares
  The Company will not, pursuant to Section 3.6 or under any other circumstances, be obligated to issue any fraction of a Share upon the exercise of a Warrant or Warrants.  To the extent that the holder of one or more Warrants would otherwise have been entitled to receive on the exercise or partial exercise thereof a fraction of a Share, that holder may exercise such right in respect of the fraction only in combination with another Warrant or Warrants that in the aggregate entitle the holder to purchase a whole number of Shares.  If not so exercised, the Company shall not pay any amounts to the holder in satisfaction of the right to otherwise have received a fraction of a Share.

  3.11.2           The supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article.
  3.11.3           The provisions of this section shall apply to successive reclassifications, changes, amalgamations, consolidations, mergers, reorganizations, sales, transfers or other dispositions.

WARRANTS
 
 COMMON SHARE PURCHASE WARRANTS
  THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT for value received, the registered holder hereof is entitled for each Warrant represented hereby to purchase one fully paid and non-assessable common share (“Common Share”) in the capital of Lorus Therapeutics Inc. (the “Company”) at a price per share of Cdn. $1.33, subject to adjustment as hereinafter referred to.
  Such right to purchase may be exercised by the registered holder hereof at any time on the date of issue hereof up to and including 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on May 8, 2012 (the “Warrant Expiry Time”) by surrender of this Warrant Certificate to Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the “Warrant Agent”) at the principal transfer offices of the Warrant Agent in Toronto, Ontario together with the subscription form attached hereto as Appendix A duly executed and completed for the number of Common Shares which the holder hereof is entitled to purchase and the purchase price of such Common Shares as herein provided.
  This Warrant Certificate and such payment shall be deemed not to have been surrendered and made except upon personal delivery thereof or, if sent by post or other means of transmission, upon actual receipt thereof by the Warrant Agent at the office specified above.
  The purchase price of Common Shares subscribed for hereunder shall be paid by certified cheque, money order or bank draft in lawful money of Canada payable to the order of the Company at par in the city where this Warrant Certificate is delivered.
  Certificates for the Common Shares subscribed for will be mailed to the persons specified in the subscription form at their respective addresses specified therein or, if so specified in such subscription form, delivered to such persons at the office where the applicable Warrant Certificate was surrendered, when the transfer registers of the Company have been open for five business days after the due surrender of such Warrant Certificate and payment as aforesaid.  In the event of a purchase of a number of Common Shares fewer than the number which can be purchased pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, the holder shall be entitled to receive without charge a new Warrant Certificate in respect of the balance of such Warrants.
   
  
  This Warrant Certificate and other Warrant Certificates are issued under and pursuant to a certain warrant indenture (herein referred to as the “Indenture”) dated October 4, 2010 between the Company and the Warrant Agent, to which Indenture and any instruments supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the terms and conditions upon which such Warrant Certificates are issued and are to be held all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Indenture and all instruments supplemental thereto were herein set forth, to all of which provisions the holder of this Warrant Certificate by acceptance hereof assents.  The Company will furnish to the holder of this Warrant Certificate, upon request and without charge, a copy of the Indenture.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Indenture.
  Subject to the Company’s right to purchase the Warrants under the Indenture and to any restriction under applicable law or policy of any applicable regulatory body, the Warrants and Warrants Certificates and the rights thereunder shall only be transferable by the registered holder hereof in compliance with the conditions prescribed in the Indenture and the due completion, execution and delivery of a Transfer Form (in the form attached hereto as Appendix B) in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.  The transfer of the warrants evidenced hereby may be restricted by applicable securities laws.  Holders are advised to consult their legal counsel in this regard.
