4. EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

4.1 Method of Exercise of Warrants

The Holder may exercise its right to purchase the Warrant Shares at the Exercise Price at any time until the Time of Expiry by:

(a) providing the Company with the Warrant Certificate and a completed and executed subscription form, in the form attached as Appendix "B" hereto (the "Subscription Form"), for the number of Warrant Shares which the Holder wishes to purchase;

(b) surrendering the Warrant Certificate and the Subscription Form to the Company at the address set forth in Section 3.2; and

(c) paying the appropriate Exercise Price, in Canadian funds, for the aggregate number of Warrant Shares subscribed for, either by bank draft, certified cheque or money order, payable to the Company, and delivering such payment to the Company at the address set forth in Section 3.2.  Alternatively, the Exercise Price may be wired to the Company or its lawyers pursuant to wiring instructions that will be provided to the Holder upon request.

4.2 Effect of Exercise of Warrants

(a) On the date the Company receives a duly executed Subscription Form and the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Subscription Form (the "Exercise Date"), the Warrant Shares so subscribed for will be deemed to have been issued and the persons to whom such Warrant Shares have been deemed to be issued will be deemed to have become the holder (or holders) of record of such Warrant Shares on such date.

(b) As promptly as practicable after the Exercise Date and, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days of the Exercise Date, the Company will cause to be delivered to the person in whose name the Warrant Shares so subscribed for are to be registered as specified in the Subscription Form, and deliver to such person at its respective address specified in the Subscription Form, a certificate for the appropriate number of fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares, which will not exceed that number which the Holder is entitled to purchase pursuant to the Warrant Certificate surrendered.

4.3 Subscription for Less Than Entitlement

The Holder may subscribe for and purchase a number of Warrant Shares less than the number which the Holder is entitled to purchase pursuant to the surrendered Warrant Certificate.  In the event of any purchase of a number of Warrant Shares less than the number which can be purchased pursuant to the Warrant Certificate, the Holder, upon exercise thereof, will be entitled to receive a new Warrant Certificate in respect of the balance of the Warrant Shares which the Holder was entitled to purchase pursuant to the surrendered Warrant Certificate and which were not then purchased.

4.4 Warrants for Fractions of Warrant Shares

If, on exercise or partial exercise of any Warrant, the Holder is entitled to receive a fraction of a Warrant Share, such Warrant may be exercised in respect of such fraction only in combination with another Warrant or Warrants which, in the aggregate, entitle the Holder to receive a whole Warrant Share.


4.5 Expiration of Warrants

The Holder agrees that, after the Time of Expiry, all rights under the Warrant Certificate and these Terms and Conditions will wholly cease and terminate and the Warrants will be void and of no further force and effect.

4.6 Adjustment of Exercise Price

(a) The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be subject to adjustment in the event of and in the manner following:

(i) if and whenever the Shares at any time outstanding are subdivided into a greater, or consolidated into a lesser, number of Shares, the Exercise Price will be decreased or increased proportionately as the case may be. Upon any such subdivision or consolidation, the number of Warrant Shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be increased or decreased proportionately as the case may be; and

(ii) in the case of any capital reorganization or of any reclassification of the capital of the Company, or in the case of the combination, merger, amalgamation or reorganization of the Company with or into any other company (in any case, a "Reorganization"), each Warrant will, after such Reorganization, be deemed to confer the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company (or of the company resulting from such Reorganization) which the Holder would have been entitled to upon the Reorganization if the Holder had been a shareholder of the Company at the time of such Reorganization.

(b) In the case of any Reorganization, appropriate adjustments will be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 4.6 relating to the rights and interest thereafter of the Holder so that the provisions of this Section 4.6 will be made applicable as nearly as reasonably possible to any Warrant Shares or other securities deliverable after the Reorganization on the exercise of the Warrants.

(c) The subdivision or consolidation of Shares at any time outstanding into a greater or lesser number of Shares (whether with or without par value) will not be deemed to be a Reorganization for the purposes of this Section 4.6.

(d) The adjustments provided for in this Section 4.6 are cumulative and will become effective immediately after the applicable record date or, if no record date is fixed, the effective date of the event which results in such adjustments.

4.7 Determination of Adjustments

If any questions will at any time arise with respect to the Exercise Price or any adjustment provided for in Section 4.6, such questions will be conclusively determine by the independent firm of accountants duly appointed as auditors of the Company, or, if they decline to so act, by any other firm of certified public accountants registered with the Canadian Public Accountability Board that the Company may designate and who will have access to all appropriate records, and such determination will be binding upon the Company and the Holder.


5. MODIFICATION OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR CERTAIN PURPOSES

From time to time, the Company may, subject to the provisions herein, modify the Terms and Conditions for the purpose of correction or rectification of any ambiguities, defective provisions, errors or omissions.

6. TIME OF ESSENCE

Time will be of the essence hereof.

7. SUCCESSORS

This Warrant Certificate will enure to the benefit of and will be binding upon the Company and its successors.

8. WARRANTS NOT TRANSFERABLE

None of the Warrants, nor any rights attached to any of them, are transferable.
