(a)   If and whenever at any time prior to the Expiry Time, the Company shall (i) subdivide or redivide the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares, (ii) reduce, combine or consolidate the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iii) issue Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend, the exercise price in effect on the effective date of any such event shall be adjusted immediately after such event or on the record date for such issue of Common Shares by way of stock dividend, as the case may be, so that it shall equal the amount determined by multiplying the purchase exercise price in effect immediately prior to such event by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event; and the number of Common Shares which the holder is entitled to purchase upon exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted at the same time by multiplying the number by the inverse of the aforesaid fraction; such adjustments shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this subsection (a) shall occur; any such issue of Common Shares by way of a stock dividend shall be deemed to have been made on the record date for the stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares immediately after such event under this subsection (a) and subsection (e) of this Section.

(b)   If and whenever at any time prior to the Expiry Time, the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of the outstanding Common Shares, entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 45 days after such record

3

date, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) less than 95% of the Current Market Price on such record date, the purchase price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the purchase price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number arrived at by dividing 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) by such Current Market Price, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable); and the number of Common Shares which the holder is entitled to purchase upon exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted at the same time by multiplying the number by the inverse of the aforesaid fraction; 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; such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; to the extent that any such rights, options or warrants are not so issued or any such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the purchase price shall then be re-adjusted to the exercise price which would then be in effect based upon the number and aggregate price of Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be.

(c)   If and whenever at any time prior to the Expiry Time, the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common Shares of: (i) shares of any class other than Common Shares, other than shares distributed to holders of Common Shares pursuant to their exercise of options to receive dividends in the form of such shares in lieu of Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course on the Common Shares and other than the issue of Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend, or (ii) subject to paragraph 1(b), rights, options or warrants (excluding rights exercisable for 45 days or less) or (iii) evidence of its indebtedness, or (iv) assets (excluding Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course), including shares of other corporations, then, in each such case, the purchase price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the purchase price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be  the greater of:  (i) one; and (ii) the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Market Price per Common Share on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined by the board of directors of the Company, acting reasonably, which determination, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive) of such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences or indebtedness or assets so distributed, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Current Market Price per Common Share; and the number of Common Shares which the holder is entitled to purchase upon exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted at the same time by multiplying the number by the inverse of the aforesaid fraction; 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 computation; such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; to the extent that such distribution is not so made, the exercise price shall be re-adjusted to the exercise price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the exercise price which would then be in effect based upon such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences of indebtedness or assets actually distributed, as the case may be, and in clause (iv) the term “Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course” shall include the value of any securities or other property or assets distributed in lieu of cash Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course.

(d)   If and whenever at any time prior to the Expiry Time, there is a reclassification of the Common Shares at any time outstanding or a change of the Common Shares into other shares or a capital reorganization of the Company not covered in subsection (a) of this section or a consolidation,

(e)   The adjustments required under the terms of this Warrant Certificate upon the occurrence of any of the events referred to herein shall become effective immediately after a record date for such event, and the Company may defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the holder of any Class A Warrants exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the kind and amount of shares, other securities or property to which it would be entitled upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such holder an appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right to receive the kind and amount of shares, other securities or property to which it would be entitled upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment and the right to receive any distributions made or declared in favour of holders of record of Common Shares as constituted from time to time on and after such date as the holder would, but for the provisions of this subsection (e), have received, or become entitled to receive, on such exercise.

(f)   The adjustments provided for in this Warrant Certificate are cumulative and shall apply to successive subdivisions, redivisions, reductions, combinations, consolidations, distributions, issues or other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this Warrant Certificate provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no adjustment of the purchase price or number of Common Shares, as then constituted, and Class B Warrants, purchasable shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease, of at least 1% in the purchase price or the number of Common Shares, as then constituted, and Class B Warrants, purchasable then in effect; provided however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (f) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

(g)   In the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments provided in this Warrant Certificate, such question shall, absent manifest error, be conclusively determined by a firm of chartered accountants appointed by the Company (who may be the auditors of the Company) and acceptable to the holder, acting reasonably, with the assistance of legal counsel, who may be legal counsel to the Company; such accountants shall have access to all necessary records of the Company and such determination shall be binding upon the Company and the holder.

Common Shares, entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 45 days after such record date, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) less than 95% of the Current Market Price on such record date, the purchase price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the purchase price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number arrived at by dividing 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) by such Current Market Price, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable); and the number of Common Shares which the holder is entitled to purchase upon exercise of each Class B Warrant shall be adjusted at the same time by multiplying the number by the inverse of the aforesaid fraction; 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; such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; to the extent that any such rights, options or warrants are not so issued or any such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the purchase price shall then be re-adjusted to the exercise price which would then be in effect based upon the number and aggregate price of Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be.

(c)   If and whenever at any time prior to the Expiry Time, the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common Shares of: (i) shares of any class other than Common Shares, other than shares distributed to holders of Common Shares pursuant to their exercise of options to receive dividends in the form of such shares in lieu of Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course on the Common Shares and other than the issue of Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend, or (ii) subject to paragraph 1(b), rights, options or warrants (excluding rights exercisable for 45 days or less) or (iii) evidence of its indebtedness, or (iv) assets (excluding Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course), including shares of other corporations, then, in each such case, the purchase price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the purchase price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be  the greater of:  (i) one; and (ii) the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Market Price per Common Share on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined by the board of directors of the Company, acting reasonably, which determination, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive) of such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences or indebtedness or assets so distributed, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Current Market Price per Common Share; and the number of Common Shares which the holder is entitled to purchase upon exercise of each Class B Warrant shall be adjusted at the same time by multiplying the number by the inverse of the aforesaid fraction; 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 computation; such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; to the extent that such distribution is not so made, the exercise price shall be re-adjusted to the exercise price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the exercise price which would then be in effect based upon such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences of indebtedness or assets actually distributed, as the case may be, and in clause (iv) the term “Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course” shall include the value of any securities or other property or assets distributed in lieu of cash Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course.

(f)   The adjustments provided for in this Warrant Certificate are cumulative and shall apply to successive subdivisions, redivisions, reductions, combinations, consolidations, distributions, issues or other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this Warrant Certificate provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no adjustment of the purchase price or number of Common Shares, as then constituted, purchasable shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease, of at least 1% in the purchase price or the number of Common Shares, as then constituted, purchasable then in effect; provided however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (f) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
