value of all other dividends theretofore paid during such financial year (any such securities, property or other assets so distributed to be valued at the fair market value of such securities, property or other assets, as the case may be, as
determined by the Company, which determination shall be conclusive, provided that, for the purposes of this definition, the fair market value of any Common Shares distributed by way of dividend shall be conclusively determined by reference to the

Transfer Agent, together with the duly completed and executed exercise form attached hereto as Schedule A and payment, by certified cheque, bank draft, money order or wire transfer payable to the Company, of the applicable Exercise Price for the
number of Common Shares then being purchased. Upon any such exercise, the Company shall cause a certificate registered in the name of the Holder, representing in the aggregate such number of the Common Shares as the Holder shall have then paid for,
to be delivered to the Holder (provided that the Holder has surrendered to the Transfer Agent this certificate), within a reasonable time, not exceeding three business days after the Warrants shall have been so exercised. Unless the Warrants have
expired, if less than the full number of Warrants is exercised, this certificate will be endorsed to show the number of Common Shares acquired upon exercise and the number of Common Shares remaining hereunder, and this certificate will be returned
to the Holder. 

  

	3.2	The Warrants shall expire and terminate at the Time of Expiry.

	4.	Adjustments 

  

	4.1	If at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Time of Expiry: 

  

	 	(a)	there shall be a reclassification of the Common Shares outstanding at any time or change of the Common Shares into other shares or securities, or any other capital reorganization affecting the Common Shares except as
described in section 4.2, or a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation (other than a consolidation, amalgamation or merger which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding Common Shares
or a change of the Common Shares into other shares or securities), 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 shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of the Warrants, and shall accept for the same aggregate consideration, in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which it was theretofore entitled
upon the exercise of the Warrants, the kind and amount of shares or other securities or property which it would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, it had been the registered
holder of the number of Common Shares to which it was theretofore entitled upon such exercise. If determined appropriate by the Company, appropriate adjustments shall be made as a result of any such Capital Reorganization in the application of the
provisions set forth in this Article 4 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions set forth in this Article 4 shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be in
relation to any shares, other securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants. 

  

	 	(b)	any adjustment in the Exercise Price shall occur as a result of an event referred to in section 4.2(a) or 4.2(b), then the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the subsequent exercise of the Warrants shall be
simultaneously adjusted by multiplying the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants 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 that any adjustment in subscription rights occurs pursuant to this section 4.1(b) as a result of a distribution of exchangeable or convertible securities other than Equity Shares referred to in section 4.2(a), the
number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants 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 section 4.1(b) 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 section 4.2(b),
the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be readjusted immediately after the expiration of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the number which would be purchasable pursuant to this section
4.1(b) 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 section 4.1(b) 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. 

  

	4.2	The Exercise Price in effect at any date shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: 


  
 - 4 - 









	 	(a)	If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Time of Expiry, the Company shall (i) subdivide the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares, (ii) consolidate the
outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of Common Shares, or (iii) make any distribution, other than by way of a Dividend Paid in the Ordinary Course, to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares payable in
Common Shares, (any of such events being called a “Common Share Reorganization”), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the effective date or record date, as the case may be, on 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 shall be 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 shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Common Share
Reorganization occurring on the effective date or record date as the case may be. 

  

	 	(b)	If and whenever at any time after the date hereof, the Company shall fix a record date which is prior to the Time of Expiry for the issue or distribution to all or substantially all the holders of the Common Shares of:


  

	 	(i)	securities of the Company including any rights, options or warrants to acquire Equity Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Equity Shares or property or assets at a price per Common Share or having a
conversion or exchange price per Common Share less than 75% of the Current Market Price per Common Share on such record date; or 

  

	 	(ii)	any property or other assets, 

  

	 	    	and if such issuance or distribution is not by way of a Dividend Paid in the Ordinary Course or a Common Share Reorganization then, in each such case, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record
date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the
Current Market Price on such record date, less the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the Company, which determination shall be conclusive) of such securities, property or other assets so issued or distributed, and of which the
denominator shall be the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and such Current Market Price; any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed not to
be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. 

  

	4.3	The following provisions shall also apply to this Article 4: 

  

	 	(a)	In any case in which this Article 4 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein, the Company may defer, until the occurrence of such event:


  

	 	(i)	issuing to the Holder the additional Common Shares issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event; and 


  
 - 5 - 









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

  

	 	(b)	The adjustments provided for in this Article 4 are cumulative; shall, in the case of adjustments to the Exercise Price, be computed to the nearest one-tenth of one cent; and shall apply (without duplication) to
successive subdivisions, consolidations, distributions, issuances or other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this Article; provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4, no adjustment of the Exercise
Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Exercise Price then in effect and no adjustment shall be required in the number of Common Shares purchasable on the exercise of the Warrants
unless it would result in a change of at least one one-hundredth of a share (provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this section 4.3(b) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment). 

  

	 	(c)	In the event of any dispute between the Company and the Holder with respect to the adjustments provided for in this Article 4, such dispute shall be conclusively determined by a firm of chartered accountants appointed
by the Company (who may be the Company’s auditors); such accountants shall have access to all necessary records of the Company and such determination shall be binding upon the Company and the Holder. In the event that any such determination is
made, the Company shall deliver a certificate to the Holder describing such determination. 

  

	 	(d)	No adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be made in respect of any event described in this Article 4, other than the events referred to in
clauses (i) and (ii) of section 4.2(a), if the Holder is entitled to participate in such event on the same terms mutatis mutandis as if it had exercised the Warrants prior to or on the effective date or record date of such event.


  

	 	(e)	If the Company shall set a record date to determine the holders of the Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive any issue or distribution or for the issue of any rights, options or warrants and shall
thereafter and before such distribution or issue to such shareholders legally abandon its plan to make such distribution or issue, then no adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required by reason of the setting of such record date.


  

	 	(f)	In the absence of a resolution of the directors fixing a record date for any of the events referred to in section 4.2(b), the Company shall be deemed to have fixed as the record date therefor the date on which any of
such events is effected. 

  

	4.4	As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to sections 4.1 or 4.2, the Company shall take any action which may, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, be necessary
in order that the Company may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all of the Common Shares which the Holder is entitled to receive on the full exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions hereof.


  

	5.	Reserve for Issuance 

  

	5.1	The Company covenants to keep alloted sufficient Common Shares to be issued, as fully paid and non-assessable, on exercise of the Warrants. Nothing contained in this certificate shall affect or restrict the right of the
Company to issue Common Shares or other securities from time to time.
