Each Special Warrant Certificate shall be signed by at least one duly authorized signatory of the Corporation, whose signature shall appear on the Special Warrant Certificate and may be printed, lithographed or otherwise mechanically reproduced thereon and, in such event, certificates so signed are as valid and binding upon the Corporation as if it had been signed manually.

(b) The Special Warrant Agent shall Authenticate Uncertificated Special Warrants (whether upon original issuance, exchange, registration of transfer or otherwise) by completing its Internal Procedures, and the Corporation shall, and hereby acknowledges that it shall, thereupon be deemed to have duly and validly issued such Uncertificated Special Warrants under this Indenture. Such Authentication shall be conclusive evidence that such Uncertificated Special Warrant has been duly issued hereunder and that the holder or holders are entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. The register of Special Warrantholders shall be final and conclusive evidence as to all matters relating to Uncertificated Special Warrants with respect to which this Indenture requires the Special Warrant Agent to maintain records or accounts. In case of differences between the register at any time and any other time, the register at the later time shall be controlling, absent manifest error and such Uncertificated Special Warrants are binding on the Corporation.

(c) No Special Warrant shall be considered issued and shall be valid or obligatory or shall entitle the holder thereof to the benefits of this Indenture until it has been Authenticated by the Special Warrant Agent.

(d) No Special Warrant Certificate shall be considered issued and Authenticated or, if Authenticated, shall be obligatory or shall entitle the holder thereof to the benefits of this Indenture, until it has been Authenticated by manual signature by or on behalf of the Special Warrant Agent. Such Authentication on any such Special Warrant Certificate shall be conclusive evidence that such Special Warrant Certificate is duly Authenticated and is valid and a binding obligation of the Corporation and that the holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

(e) No Uncertificated Special Warrant shall be considered issued and shall be obligatory or shall entitle the holder thereof to the benefits of this Indenture until it has been Authenticated by entry on the register of Special Warrantholders of the particulars of the Uncertificated Special Warrant. Such entry on the register of the particulars of an Uncertificated Special Warrant shall be conclusive evidence that such Uncertificated Special Warrant is a valid and binding obligation of the Corporation and that the holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

(f) The Authentication by the Special Warrant Agent of any Special Warrants whether by way of entry on the register of Special Warrantholders or otherwise shall not be construed as a representation or warranty by the Special Warrant Agent as to the validity of the Indenture or such Special Warrants (except the due Authentication thereof) or as to the performance by the Corporation of its obligations under this Indenture, and the Special Warrant Agent shall in no respect be liable or answerable for the use made of the Special Warrants or any of them or the proceeds thereof. Authentication by the Special Warrant Agent shall be conclusive evidence as against the Corporation that the Special Warrants so Authenticated have been duly issued hereunder and that the holder thereof is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

(g) Each CDS Global Special Warrant originally issued in Canada and held by the Depository, and each CDS Global Special Warrant issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, shall bear or be deemed to bear the following legend or such variations thereof as the Corporation may prescribe from time to time:

"UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS CLEARING AND DEPOSITORY SERVICES INC. ("CDS") TO CALDAS GOLD CORP. (THE "ISSUER") OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IN RESPECT THEREOF IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CDS, OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CDS OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED HOLDER HEREOF, CDS, HAS A PROPERTY INTEREST IN THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HEREIN AND IT IS A VIOLATION OF ITS RIGHTS FOR ANOTHER PERSON TO HOLD, TRANSFER OR DEAL WITH THIS CERTIFICATE."

11


2.5 Transferability and Ownership of Special Warrants

(a) The Corporation hereby appoints the Special Warrant Agent as registrar of the Special Warrants and shall cause the Special Warrant Agent to keep at its Vancouver, British Columbia office set forth in Section 9.1(b) a register in which the Special Warrant Agent shall enter the names and addresses of the Special Warrantholders as well as the number of Special Warrants and other particulars prescribed by law of the Special Warrants held by them, together with a record of transfers in which particulars of all transfers of Special Warrants will be recorded. The Special Warrant Agent shall cause the register to be open at all reasonable times for inspection by the Corporation, the Underwriters and any Special Warrantholder and upon payment to the Special Warrant Agent of its reasonable fees. Any Special Warrantholder exercising such right of inspection shall first provide an affidavit in form satisfactory to the Corporation and the Special Warrant Agent stating the name and address of such Special Warrantholder and agreeing not to use the information therein except in connection with: (i) an effort to call a meeting of Special Warrantholders or to influence the voting of Special Warrantholders at any meeting of Special Warrantholders; (ii) an offer to acquire securities of the Corporation; or (iii) any other matter relating to the affairs of the Corporation.

(b) Once an Uncertificated Special Warrant has been Authenticated, the information set forth in the register with respect thereto at the time of Authentication may be altered, modified, amended, supplemented or otherwise changed only to reflect exercise of a Special Warrant or proper instructions from a Special Warrantholder to the Special Warrant Agent as provided herein, except that the Special Warrant Agent may act unilaterally to make purely administrative changes internal to the Special Warrant Agent and changes to correct errors. Each person who becomes a holder of an Uncertificated Special Warrant, by his, her or its acquisition thereof shall be deemed to have irrevocably: (i) consented to the foregoing authority of the Special Warrant Agent to make such minor error corrections; and (ii) agreed to pay to the Corporation and the Special Warrant Agent, promptly upon written demand, the full amount of all loss and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees of the Corporation and the Special Warrant Agent plus interest, at an appropriate then prevailing rate of interest) sustained by the Corporation or the Special Warrant Agent as a proximate result of such error if, but only if and only to the extent that, such present or former holder realized any benefit as a result of such error and could reasonably have prevented, forestalled or minimized such loss and expense by prompt reporting of the error or avoidance of accepting benefits thereof whether or not such error is or should have been timely detected and corrected by the Special Warrant Agent; provided, that no person who is a bona fide purchaser shall have any such obligation to the Corporation or to the Special Warrant Agent.

12


(c) The Special Warrant Certificates may only be transferred by the Special Warrantholder (or its legal representatives or its attorney duly appointed), in accordance with Applicable Legislation and upon compliance with the conditions herein, on the register of Special Warrantholders kept at the office of the Special Warrant Agent pursuant to Section 2.5(a) by delivering to the Special Warrant Agent's Vancouver, British Columbia office the Special Warrant Certificate, a duly executed Form of Transfer attached as Appendix "2" to the Special Warrant Certificate and complying with such other reasonable requirements as the Corporation and the Special Warrant Agent may prescribe. Such transfer shall be duly noted on the register of Special Warrantholders by the Special Warrant Agent. In the case of Uncertificated Special Warrants, the legal or beneficial interest in the Special Warrants may only be transferred in accordance with the procedures of the Depository under its book entry registration system.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contrary contained in this Indenture, in the Special Warrant Certificate or in any subscription agreements under which Special Warrants were issued and sold, the Special Warrant Agent, relying solely on the Form of Transfer attached as Appendix "2" to the Special Warrant Certificate or such other reasonable requirements as the Corporation and Special Warrant Agent may prescribe pursuant to Section 2.5(c) or this Section 2.5(d), shall not register any transfer of a Special Warrant unless the transfer is made in compliance with this Section 2.5.

(e) The Special Warrant Agent acknowledges and understands that the Special Warrants have not been registered under the 1933 Act or under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any state of the United States. A Special Warrantholder that is in the United States or is a U.S. Person (i) that is an Accredited Investor (but not a Qualified Institutional Buyer) and is being issued Special Warrants in a certificated form may only offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer such securities: (A) to the Corporation; (B) outside the United States in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the 1933 Act and applicable local laws and regulations; (C) pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act provided by Rule 144 thereunder, if available, or Rule 144A thereunder, if available, and in accordance with any applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws; (D) in a transaction that does not require registration under the 1933 Act or any applicable state laws and regulations governing the offer and sale of securities; or (E) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, or (ii) that is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and is not being issued Special Warrants in a certificated form may only offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer such securities: (A) to the Corporation; (B) outside the United States in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the 1933 Act and applicable local laws and regulations; or (C) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act. If Special Warrants held by such person in the United States or U.S. Persons are tendered for transfer to, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. Person or a person in the United States in violation of the foregoing, the Special Warrant Agent shall not register such transfer.

(f) The Corporation shall direct the Special Warrant Agent as to matters related to the applicable hold periods and applicable securities legislation. The Special Warrant Agent shall have no obligation to ensure or verify compliance with any Applicable Legislation or regulatory requirements on the issue, exercise or transfer of any Special Warrants or any Underlying Securities issuable upon the exercise or deemed exercise of any Special Warrants. The Special Warrant Agent shall be entitled to process all proffered transfers and exercises of Special Warrants upon the presumption that such transfers or exercises are permissible pursuant to all Applicable Legislation and regulatory requirements and the terms of this Indenture. The Special Warrant Agent may assume for the purposes of this Indenture that the address on the register of Special Warrantholders of any Special Warrantholder is such Special Warrantholder's actual address and is also determinative of such Special Warrantholder's residency and that the address of any transferee to whom any Special Warrants or any Underlying Securities are to be registered, as shown on the transfer document, is such transferee's actual address and is also determinative of such transferee's residency.

13


(g) Upon any transfer of Special Warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Corporation shall covenant and agree with the Special Warrant Agent, on behalf of the transferee holder and with the transferee holder, that the transferee holder is a permitted assignee of the transferring holder and is entitled to the benefits of the covenant and agreement of the Corporation set forth in Section 3.17 herein and to be set forth under the heading "Contractual Right of Rescission" in the Prospectus (if any such Prospectus is filed with the Securities Regulators) subject, in each case, to the restrictions and limitations described thereunder. Should a holder of Special Warrants exercise any legal, statutory, contractual or other right of withdrawal or rescission that may be available to it, the Special Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for ensuring the Special Warrants or the exercise of Special Warrants is cancelled and a refund of the holder's funds is paid back to the holder. In such cases, the holder shall seek a refund directly from the Corporation and subsequently, the Corporation shall instruct the Special Warrant Agent in writing to cancel the Special Warrants or exercise transaction and to cause the cancellation of any Underlying Securities on the appropriate registers, which may have already been issued upon the Special Warrant exercise.

(h) A person who furnishes evidence, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Special Warrant Agent, that he, she or it is:

(i) the executor, administrator, heir or legal representative of the heirs of the estate of a deceased Special Warrantholder;

(ii) a guardian, committee, trustee, curator or tutor representing a Special Warrantholder who is an infant, an incompetent person or a missing person; or

(iii) a liquidator or a trustee in bankruptcy for a Special Warrantholder,

may, as hereinafter stated, by surrendering such evidence together with the Special Warrant Certificate in question to the Special Warrant Agent (by delivery or mail as set forth in Section 9.1 hereof), and subject to such reasonable requirements as the Special Warrant Agent may prescribe and all applicable securities legislation and requirements of regulatory authorities, become noted upon the register of Special Warrantholders. Forthwith after the new holder becomes noted on the register of Special Warrantholders, the Special Warrant Agent shall issue a new Special Warrant Certificate to and send such certificate to the new holder.

(i) The Corporation and the Special Warrant Agent shall deem and treat the registered holder of any Special Warrant as the absolute legal and beneficial owner thereof for all purposes, free from all equities or rights of set off or counterclaim between the Corporation and any previous holder of such Special Warrant, and, save in respect of equities of which the Corporation is required to take notice by statute or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, neither the Corporation nor the Special Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

14


(j) Subject to the provisions of this Indenture and Applicable Legislation, (i) each Special Warrantholder is entitled to the rights and privileges attaching to the Special Warrants, and (ii) the issue of the Underlying Securities by the Corporation on the exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants in accordance with the terms and conditions herein contained discharges all responsibilities of the Corporation and the Special Warrant Agent with respect to such Special Warrants and neither the Corporation nor the Special Warrant Agent is bound to inquire into the title of any such registered holder.

(k) A reasonable charge will be levied on a presenter of a Special Warrant Certificate pursuant to this Indenture for the transfer of any Special Warrant. Either the Special Warrantholder or the Corporation will assume this charge.

(l) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.5, in connection with any transfer of Special Warrants, the transferor and transferee shall comply with all reasonable requirements of the Special Warrant Agent as the Special Warrant Agent may deem necessary to secure the obligations of the transferee of such Special Warrants with respect to such transfer.

2.6 Special Warrantholders Not Shareholders

A Special Warrantholder is not deemed or regarded as a shareholder of the Corporation nor is such Special Warrantholder entitled to any right or interest except as is expressly provided in this Indenture and on the Special Warrant Certificates.

2.7 Loss, Mutilation, Destruction or Theft of Special Warrants

If any Special Warrant Certificate issued and countersigned hereunder is mutilated or lost, destroyed or stolen, the Corporation, in its discretion, may issue, and thereupon the Special Warrant Agent will countersign and deliver, a new Special Warrant Certificate of like date and tenor in exchange for and in place of the one mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen. Upon surrender and cancellation of such mutilated Special Warrant Certificate or in lieu of and in substitution for such lost, destroyed or stolen Special Warrant Certificate, the substituted Special Warrant Certificate shall entitle the holder thereof to the benefits hereof and thereof and rank equally in accordance with its terms with all other Special Warrants issued hereunder.

The Special Warrantholder applying for the issue of a new Special Warrant Certificate pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall bear the cost of the issue thereof and, in case of loss, destruction or theft, shall, as a condition precedent to the issue thereof, furnish to the Corporation and the Special Warrant Agent such evidence of ownership and of the loss, destruction or theft of the Special Warrant Certificate so lost, destroyed or stolen as is satisfactory to the Corporation and the Special Warrant Agent in their discretion. The Corporation and the Special Warrant Agent may also, as a condition precedent to issuing a new Special Warrant Certificate, require such applicant to furnish an indemnity and surety bond in amount and form satisfactory to the Corporation and the Special Warrant Agent in their discretion, and the applicant shall pay the reasonable charges of the Corporation and the Special Warrant Agent in connection therewith.

15


2.8 Exchange of Special Warrants

A Special Warrantholder may at any time prior to the Deemed Exercise Time, by written instruction delivered to the Special Warrant Agent at the Vancouver, British Columbia office of the Special Warrant Agent set forth in Section 9.1, exchange his, her or its Special Warrant Certificate(s) for Special Warrant Certificates evidencing Special Warrants in other denominations representing the same aggregate number of Special Warrants as under the Special Warrant Certificate(s) so surrendered, in which case, the Special Warrant Agent may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any government fees or charges required to be paid and such reasonable fees as the Special Warrant Agent may determine for every Special Warrant Certificate issued upon exchange. The Special Warrantholder surrendering such Special Warrant Certificate(s) shall bear such fees and charges. Payment of the charges is a condition precedent to the exchange of the Special Warrant Certificate(s). The Corporation shall sign and the Special Warrant Agent shall countersign all Special Warrant Certificates necessary to carry out exchanges as aforesaid.

2.9 Ranking

All Special Warrants will have the same attributes and rank pari passu regardless of the date of actual issue.

2.10 Purchase of Special Warrants for Cancellation

Subject to Applicable Legislation, the Corporation may, at any time or from time to time, purchase all or any of the Special Warrants in the market, by private contract or otherwise, on such terms as the Corporation may determine. Any such purchase shall be made at the lowest price or prices at which, in the opinion of the directors, such Special Warrants are then obtainable plus reasonable costs of purchase. The Special Warrants (and if applicable, the Special Warrant Certificates representing the Special Warrants) purchased hereunder by the Corporation shall, immediately following purchase, be delivered to and cancelled by the Special Warrant Agent and no Special Warrants shall be issued in substitution therefor. In the case of Uncertificated Special Warrants, the Special Warrants purchased pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be reflected accordingly on the register of the Special Warrants and in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Depository under the book entry registration system. No Special Warrants shall be issued in replacement thereof.

2.11 Cancellation of Surrendered Special Warrants

All Special Warrants Certificates surrendered pursuant to Section 2.5, 2.7, 2.8 and 2.10 and Article 5 shall be cancelled by the Special Warrant Agent and, upon such circumstances, all such Uncertificated Special Warrants shall be deemed cancelled and so noted on the register of the Special Warrantholders by the Special Warrant Agent.

unless, in each such case, the Corporation will have given notice, in the manner specified in Section 9.1 and Section 9.2, to the Special Warrant Agent, the Underwriters and each Special Warrantholder, of the action proposed to be taken and the date on which (a) the books of the Corporation will close or a record will be taken for such dividend, repayment, distribution, subscription rights or other securities, rights, warrants or options, or (b) such subdivision, consolidation, reclassification, amalgamation, merger, sale or lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up will take place, as the case may be, provided that, the Corporation will only be required to specify in the notice those particulars of the action as will have been fixed and determined at the date on which the notice is given. The notice will also specify the date as of which the holders of Common Shares of record will participate in the dividend, repayment, distribution, subscription of rights or other securities, rights, warrants or options, or will be entitled to exchange their Common Shares for securities or other property deliverable upon such subdivision, consolidation, reclassification, amalgamation, merger, sale or lease, other disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be.

3.15 Closure of Share Transfer Books

The Corporation further covenants and agrees that it will not during the period of any notice given under Section 9.1 close its share transfer books or take any other corporate action which might deprive the Special Warrantholders of the opportunity of the exercise or deemed exercise of their Special Warrants; provided that nothing contained in this Section 3.15 will be deemed to affect the right of the Corporation to do or take part in any of the things referred to in Section 3.14.

20


3.16 Payment of Commissions

That the Corporation will not pay or give any commission or other remuneration within the meaning of Section 3(a)(9) of the 1933 Act to any person, directly or indirectly, for soliciting the exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants.

3.17 Contractual Right of Rescission

The Corporation covenants and agrees with the Special Warrant Agent to provide and hereby provides a right of rescission to each Special Warrantholder as hereinafter set forth, which right shall be exercisable by a Special Warrantholder directly.

The Corporation hereby agrees that, in the event that a holder of a Special Warrant who acquires Underlying Securities upon the exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants is or becomes entitled under applicable securities laws in the Designated Jurisdictions to the remedy of rescission by reason of a misrepresentation in the Prospectus filed by the Corporation in connection herewith or any amendment thereto qualifying the distribution of the Underlying Securities to be issued on the exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants in the Designated Jurisdictions, such holder shall be entitled, subject to available defences and any limitation period under applicable securities laws in the Designated Jurisdictions, to rescission not only of the holder's exercise or deemed exercise of its Special Warrants but also of the Private Placement pursuant to which the Special Warrants were initially acquired, and shall be entitled in connection with such rescission to a full refund from the Corporation of all consideration paid to the Corporation on the acquisition of the Special Warrants. In the event that such holder is a permitted assignee of the interest of the original purchaser of the corresponding Special Warrants, as applicable, such permitted assignee shall be permitted to exercise the rights of rescission and to receive the refund granted hereunder as if such permitted assignee was such original purchaser. The foregoing right, which is extended by the Corporation in respect of the Special Warrants issued by the Corporation, is in addition to any other right or remedy available to a Special Warrantholder under applicable securities laws in the Designated Jurisdictions, or otherwise at law, and is subject to the defences and limitations described under such applicable laws.

Should a Special Warrantholder exercise any legal, statutory, contractual or other right of withdrawal or rescission that may be available to it, the Special Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for ensuring the exercise is cancelled and a refund is paid back to the holder. In such cases, the holder shall seek a refund directly from the Corporation and subsequently, the Corporation, upon surrender to the Corporation or the transfer agent for the Corporation of any Underlying Securities that may have been issued, or such other procedure as agreed to by the parties hereto, shall instruct the Special Warrant Agent in writing to cancel the exercise transaction and to cause the cancellation of any such Underlying Securities on the appropriate registers, which may have already been issued upon the Special Warrant exercise or deemed exercise. The Special Warrant Agent shall not be under any duty or obligation to take any steps to ensure or enforce that the funds are returned pursuant to this Section 3.17, nor shall the Special Warrant Agent be in any other way responsible in the event that any payment is not delivered or received pursuant to this Section 3.17. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Corporation provides the refund to the Special Warrant Agent for distribution to the holder, the Special Warrant Agent shall return such funds to the holder as soon as reasonably practicable, and in so doing, the Special Warrant Agent shall incur no liability with respect to the delivery or non-delivery of any such funds.

21


ARTICLE 4

ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF UNDERLYING SECURITIES

4.1 Penalty Units

If the Receipt for the Prospectus is not issued prior to the Qualification Deadline, then each Special Warrantholder will be entitled to receive upon the exercise or deemed exercise of each Special Warrant, without payment of any additional consideration or action on the part of the holder thereof, 1.1 Units per Special Warrant held (the "Penalty Units").

References in this Indenture to "Underlying Securities" shall include any Underlying Securities issuable pursuant to the adjustment set out in this Section 4.1.

4.2 Adjustment of Number of Underlying Securities

In addition, the right to acquire Underlying Securities in effect at any date attaching to the Special Warrants are subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(i) subdivides, re-divides or changes its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares;

(ii) consolidates, reduces or combines its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares; or

(iii) issues Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible to Common Shares ("Convertible Securities") to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend;

(any of the above being a "Common Share Reorganization"), the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon the exercise or deemed exercise of each Special Warrant is adjusted immediately after the effective date of the Common Share Reorganization or on the record date for the issue of Common Shares or Convertible Securities by way of stock dividend, by multiplying the number of Underlying Shares previously obtainable on the exercise or deemed exercise of a Special Warrant by the fraction of which:

(A) the numerator is the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after the effective or record date of the Common Share Reorganization, or, in the case of the issuance of exchangeable or Convertible Securities, the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after the effective or record date of the Common Share Reorganization plus the total number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities; and

(B) the denominator is the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the applicable effective or record date of such Common Share Reorganization;

22


and the Corporation and Special Warrant Agent, upon receipt of notice pursuant to Section 4.4, shall make such adjustment successively whenever any event referred to in this Section 4.2(a) occurs and any such issue of Common Shares or Convertible Securities by way of a stock dividend is deemed to have occurred on the record date for the stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under this Section 4.2(a). Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any computation. To the extent that any Convertible Securities are not converted into or exchanged for Common Shares prior to the expiration thereof, the number of Underlying Shares obtainable under each Special Warrant shall be readjusted to the number of Underlying Shares that is then obtainable based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued on conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;

(b) if and whenever at any time from the date hereof and prior to the Deemed Exercise Time the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issue of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares under which such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 calendar days after the record date for such issue ("Rights Period"), to subscribe for or acquire Common Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) to the holder of less than 95% of the Current Market Price for the Common Shares on such record date (any such issuance being herein called a "Rights Offering), then the number of Underlying Shares obtainable upon the exercise or deemed exercise of each Special Warrant shall be adjusted effective immediately after the end of the Rights Period to a number determined by multiplying the number of Underlying Shares obtainable upon the exercise or deemed exercise thereof immediately prior to the end of the Rights Period by a fraction:

(i) the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding after giving effect to the Rights Offering and including the number of Common Shares actually issued or subscribed for during the Rights Period (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable) upon exercise of the rights, warrants or options under the Rights Offering; and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the aggregate of:

(A) the number of Common Shares outstanding as of the record date for the Rights Offering, and

(B) a number determined by dividing (1) the product of the number of Common Shares issued or subscribed during the Rights Period (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable) upon the exercise of the rights, warrants, or options under the Rights Offering and the price at which such Common Shares are offered (or the conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered) by (2) the Current Market Price of the Common Shares as of the record date for the Rights Offering;

Any offered securities owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any computation. If all the rights, options or warrants are not so issued or if all rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the number of Underlying Shares obtainable shall be readjusted to the number of Underlying Shares obtainable in effect immediately prior to the record date and such number shall be further adjusted based upon the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares) actually delivered upon the exercise of the rights, options or warrants, as the case may be, but subject to any other adjustment required hereunder by reason of any event arising after that record date;

23


(c) if and whenever at any time from the date hereof and prior to the Deemed Exercise Time the Corporation shall issue or distribute to all or to substantially all of the holders of the Common Shares:

(i) securities of the Corporation including rights, options or warrants to acquire shares of any class or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or exchangeable into any such shares or property or assets and including evidence of its indebtedness; or

(ii) any property or other assets,

and if such issuance or distribution does not constitute a Common Share Reorganization or a Rights Offering (any of such non-excluded events being herein called a "Special Distribution"), the number of Underlying Shares obtainable upon the exercise or deemed exercise of each Special Warrant shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date at which the holders of affected Common Shares are determined for purposes of the Special Distribution to a number determined by multiplying the number of Underlying Shares obtainable upon the exercise or deemed exercise thereof in effect on such record date by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date; and

(B) the denominator of which shall be:

(1) the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date, less

(2) the aggregate fair market value on such record date, as determined by action by the directors (whose determination shall be conclusive), subject to approval by any stock exchange upon which the Common Shares are then principally listed and posted for trading, to the holders of the Common Shares of such securities or property or other assets so issued or distributed in the Special Distribution;

Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any computation. If the distribution of shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness, property or other assets is not so made or to the extent that any rights, options or warrants so distributed are not exercised, the number of Underlying Shares obtainable shall be readjusted to the number of Underlying Shares obtainable in effect immediately prior to the record date and such number shall be further adjusted based upon the number of shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness, property or other assets actually distributed or based upon the number of securities actually delivered upon the exercise of the rights, options or warrants, as the case may be, but subject to any other adjustment required hereunder by reason of any event arising after that record date;

24


(d) if and whenever at any time from the date hereof and prior to the Deemed Exercise Time there is a reclassification of the Common Shares, a change in the Common Shares into other shares or securities, or a capital reorganization of the Corporation other than as described in Section 4.2(a), including for certainty a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Corporation with or into any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, or a transfer, sale or conveyance of the property and assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, any of such events being referred to as a "Capital Reorganization", every Special Warrantholder, as at the effective date of such Capital Reorganization, shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise or deemed exercise in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Underlying Securities obtainable under the Special Warrants to which it was previously entitled, the kind and number of shares or other securities or property of the Corporation or of the body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity resulting from such Capital Reorganization, that the Special Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive on such Capital Reorganization if, on the record date or the effective date thereof, as the case may be, the Special Warrantholder had been the registered holder of the number of Underlying Securities obtainable upon the exercise or deemed exercise of Special Warrants then held, subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with provisions of the same, as nearly as may be possible, as those contained in this Article 4. The Corporation shall not carry into effect any action requiring an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.2(d) unless all necessary steps have been taken so that the Special Warrantholders are thereafter entitled to receive such kind and number of shares, other securities or property. The Corporation will not enter into a Capital Reorganization unless its successor, or the purchasing body corporate, partnership, trust or other entity, as the case may be, prior to or contemporaneously with any such Capital Reorganization, enters into an indenture which provides, to the extent possible, for the application of the provisions set forth in this Indenture with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Special Warrantholders to the end that the provisions set forth in this Indenture are correspondingly made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be possible, with respect to any shares, other securities or property to which a Special Warrantholder is entitled on the exercise of his, her or its acquisition rights thereafter. An indenture entered into by the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.2(d) is deemed a supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to the provisions of Article 7. An indenture entered into between the Corporation, any successor to the Corporation or any purchasing body corporate, partnership, trust or other entity and the Special Warrant Agent must provide for adjustments which are as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided in this Article 4 and which apply to successive Capital Reorganizations;

(e) where this Section 4.2 requires that an adjustment becomes effective immediately after a record date or effective date, as the case may be, for an event referred to herein, the Corporation may defer, until the occurrence of that event, issuing to the Special Warrantholder exercising his, her or its acquisition rights after the record date or effective date, as the case may be, and before the occurrence of that event the adjusted number of Underlying Securities, other securities or property issuable upon the exercise of the Special Warrants by reason of the adjustment required by that event. If the Corporation relies on this Section 4.2(e) to defer issuing an adjusted number of Underlying Securities, other securities or property to a Special Warrantholder, the Corporation shall first deliver to the Special Warrantholder an appropriate instrument evidencing the right of such person to receive such securities or other property and the Special Warrantholder has the right to receive any distributions made on the adjusted number of Underlying Securities, other securities or property declared in favour of holders of record on and after the date of exercise or such later date as the Special Warrantholder would but for the provisions of this Section 4.2(e), have become the holder of record of the adjusted number of Underlying Securities, other securities or property;

25


(f) notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, if an event which would cause an adjustment under Section 4.2(c) or Section 4.2(d) shall become contemplated and the terms and conditions of such event are such that the rights of the Special Warrantholders to the applicable shares or other securities or property that the Special Warrantholders would be entitled to upon such adjustment are adversely affected, considering all relevant facts, by reason of them not holding prior to the Deemed Exercise Time the Underlying Securities to which they are entitled upon exercise of the Special Warrants, then: (A) the Corporation shall forthwith deliver notice of such event to the Special Warrant Agent; and (B) on the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the earliest of the record date, the date on which the Corporation's transfer books are to be closed, or the effective date with respect to such event, the Special Warrants will be deemed to be exercised and the provisions of this Indenture shall apply mutatis mutandis to such accelerated exercise of the Special Warrants;

(g) the adjustments provided for in this Section 4.2 are cumulative. After any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.2, the term "Underlying Securities" where used in this Indenture is interpreted to mean securities of any class or classes which, as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 4.2, the Special Warrantholder is entitled to receive upon the exercise or deemed exercise of his, her or its Special Warrant, and the number of Underlying Securities obtainable in any exercise made pursuant to a Special Warrant is interpreted to mean the number of Underlying Securities or other property or securities a Special Warrantholder is entitled to receive, as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 4.2, upon the full exercise of a Special Warrant;

(h) notwithstanding anything in this Article 4, no adjustment shall be made in the acquisition rights attached to the Special Warrants if the issue of securities of the Corporation is being made pursuant to or in connection with: (A) any stock option plan, share incentive plan or restricted share plan or share purchase plan in force from time to time for directors, officers, employees, consultants or other service providers of the Corporation, which plan has been approved by the board of directors of the Corporation; or (B) the exchange, retraction or redemption or satisfaction of existing securities and instruments issued at the date hereof;

(i) in the event of a question arising with respect to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4.2, that question shall be conclusively determined by the Corporation's auditors or if they are unwilling or unable to act, such independent nationally recognized chartered accountants as may be selected by the directors of the Corporation, acting reasonably, who shall have access to all necessary records of the Corporation. A determination by the Corporation's auditors or by the selected independent nationally recognized chartered accountants, as applicable, is binding upon the Corporation, the Special Warrant Agent, all Special Warrantholders and all other persons interested therein; and

26


(j) no adjustment in the number of Underlying Securities obtainable upon exercise of Special Warrants shall be made in respect of any event described in this Section 4.2 if the Special Warrantholders are entitled to participate in such event on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as if the Special Warrantholders had exercised their Special Warrants prior to or on the effective date or record date of such event.

4.3 Proceedings Prior to any Action Requiring Adjustment

As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which requires an adjustment in any of the acquisition rights pursuant to the Special Warrants, including the number of Underlying Securities obtainable upon the exercise or deemed exercise thereof, the Corporation shall take any corporate action which may, in its opinion, be necessary in order that the Corporation or any successor to the Corporation has reserved, allotted and set aside for issuance Common Shares in its authorized capital and may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all the Underlying Securities and may validly and legally deliver all other securities or property which the Special Warrantholders are entitled to receive on the full exercise of the Special Warrants in accordance with the provisions hereof.

4.4 Notice of Adjustment

After the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment as provided in Section 4.2, the Corporation shall forthwith deliver a written notice to the Special Warrantholders, the Special Warrant Agent and the Underwriters specifying the nature of the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment necessitated thereby and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which the calculation is based.

4.5 No Action After Notice

The Corporation covenants with the Special Warrant Agent that it will not close its transfer books or take any other corporate action which might deprive the holder of a Special Warrant of the opportunity of exercising their Special Warrants during the 14 calendar day period after giving of the notice set forth in Sections 4.4 and 4.7 hereof.

4.6 Protection of Special Warrant Agent

The Special Warrant Agent:

(a) is entitled to act and rely, and shall be protected in so doing, on any adjustment calculation of the Corporation or the Corporation's auditors and any other documents filed by the Corporation pursuant to this Article 4 for all purposes;

(b) is not at any time under any duty or responsibility to a Special Warrantholder to determine whether any facts exist which require any adjustment contemplated by Section 4.2, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed in making the same;

27


(c) is not accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares or other securities or property which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exercise of the rights attaching to any Special Warrant;

(d) is not responsible for any failure of the Corporation to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver certificates for the Underlying Securities upon the surrender of any Special Warrants for the purpose of the exercise of such rights or to comply with any of the covenants contained in Article 4; and

(e) shall not incur any liability or responsibility whatsoever or be in any way responsible for the consequence of any breach on the part of the Corporation of any of the representations, warranties or covenants herein contained or of any acts of the agents or servants of the Corporation.

4.7 Notice of Special Matters

The Corporation covenants with the Special Warrant Agent that, so long as any Special Warrants remain outstanding, it will give not less than 14 calendar days' prior written notice in the manner provided for in Article 9 to the Special Warrant Agent, each Special Warrantholder and to the Underwriters of any event which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Article 4. The Corporation covenants and agrees that such notice shall contain the particulars of such event in reasonable detail and, if determinable, the required adjustment. The Corporation further covenants and agrees that it shall promptly, as soon as the adjustment calculations are reasonably determinable, file a certificate of the Corporation with the Special Warrant Agent, on which the Special Warrant Agent may act and rely, showing how such adjustment shall be computed and give notice to the Special Warrantholders and the Underwriters of such adjustment computation.

4.8 Underlying Warrants and Warrant Shares Treated Separately

Other than an adjustment to the Underlying Warrants issuable upon the exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants pursuant to Section 4.2(d) and the first paragraph of Section 4.1, the parties hereto agree the rights of Special Warrantholders to acquire Underlying Warrants (including the exercise price thereof) and/or Common Shares underlying the Underlying Warrants in effect at any date attaching to the Special Warrants shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Indenture governing the Underlying Warrants.

ARTICLE 5

EXERCISE AND CANCELLATION OF SPECIAL WARRANTS

5.1 Notice of Deemed Exercise to Special Warrantholders

Upon receipt of the Exercise Notice from the Corporation in accordance with Section 3.7, the Special Warrant Agent shall give written notice, in the form to be provided by the Corporation to the Special Warrant Agent, to each Special Warrantholder concurrently with delivery of the certificates or other evidence of ownership representing the Underlying Securities in accordance with Section 5.3, which notice will include a statement that any Special Warrants not exercised prior to the Deemed Exercise Date will be deemed to be exercised pursuant to Section 5.3.

28


5.2 Voluntary Exercise of Special Warrants

(a) Each Special Warrant may be exercised by the holder thereof at any time on or after the Closing Date, but not after the Deemed Exercise Time, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

(b) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.2, the holder of any Special Warrant Certificate may exercise the right therein provided for, prior to the Deemed Exercise Time, by surrendering the Special Warrant Certificate to the Special Warrant Agent at its office in Vancouver, British Columbia or at such additional place or places as may be designated by the Corporation from time to time with the approval of the Special Warrant Agent during normal business hours on a Business Day at that place before the Deemed Exercise Date, together with the exercise form(s) in the form attached as Appendix "1" to the Special Warrant Certificates in accordance with the instructions attached as Appendix "3" to the Special Warrant Certificate duly completed and executed by the holder for the number of Underlying Securities which the holder desires to acquire, subject to compliance with such requirements as the Special Warrant Agent may reasonably impose to permit the tracking of such exercises from time to time. Surrender of a Special Warrant Certificate with the exercise form(s) duly completed will be deemed to have been effected, and Special 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 Special Warrant Agent at its Vancouver office.

(c) Voluntary exercise, at a time when the Corporation has not received the Receipt for the Prospectus or the Corporation has received the Receipt but the Prospectus has not been delivered to the Special Warrantholder, is subject to compliance with and may be restricted by the securities laws of the Designated Jurisdictions and the United States and applicable states thereof and is further subject to the Special Warrantholders providing such assurances and executing such documents as may, in the reasonable opinion of the Corporation or the Special Warrant Agent, be required to ensure compliance with applicable securities legislation. If, at the time of the voluntary exercise of the Special Warrants pursuant to this Section 5.2, there remain restrictions on resale under applicable securities legislation on the Underlying Warrants and Common Shares so acquired, the Corporation, may, if required on the advice of counsel, endorse the certificates representing the Underlying Warrants and Common Shares with a legend with respect to those restrictions.

(d) Every exercise form delivered prior to the Deemed Exercise Date shall be signed by the holder of a Special Warrant Certificate who desires to exercise in whole or in part the right of acquisition therein provided for. Every exercise form shall specify: (i) the number of Underlying Securities that such holder wishes to acquire (being not more than the holder is entitled to acquire under the applicable Special Warrant Certificate); (ii) the person or persons in whose name or names the Underlying Securities which such holder desires to acquire are to be issued and his, her or their address or addresses, on which the Special Warrant Agent is entitled to act and rely for determining residency of the subscribing Special Warrantholder; and (iii) the number of Underlying Securities 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 exercise form checked; and shall be substantially in the form set out in the Special Warrant Certificate.

29


(e) Any Special Warrantholder may acquire a number of Underlying Securities less than the number of Underlying Securities which the holder is entitled to acquire pursuant to the surrendered Special Warrant Certificate(s). In the event of any exercise of a number of Special Warrants less than the number which the holder is entitled to exercise pursuant to the surrendered Special Warrant Certificates, the Special Warrantholder upon such exercise shall, in addition to the number of Underlying Securities acquired pursuant to the Special Warrants exercised, be entitled to receive, without charge therefor, a new Special Warrant Certificate(s) in respect of the balance of the Special Warrants represented by the surrendered Special Warrant Certificate(s) and which were not then exercised.

(f) Subject to and upon compliance with the terms of this Section 5.2, a beneficial holder of Uncertificated Special Warrants evidenced by a security entitlement in respect of Special Warrants in the book entry registration system may exercise the right of acquisition by causing a Book Entry Only Participant to deliver to the Depository on behalf of the entitlement holder, notice of the owner's intention to exercise the Special Warrants in a manner acceptable to the Depository. Forthwith upon receipt by the Depository of such notice, the Depository shall deliver to the Special Warrant Agent a Transaction Instruction confirming its intention to exercise Special Warrants in a manner acceptable to the Special Warrant Agent, including by electronic means through the book entry registration system.

(g) A notice in form acceptable to the Book Entry Only Participant from such beneficial holder should be provided to the Book Entry Only Participant sufficiently in advance so as to permit the Book Entry Only Participant to deliver notice to the Depository and for the Depository in turn to deliver written notice to the Special Warrant Agent prior to the Deemed Exercise Date. The Depository will initiate the exercise by way of the Transaction Instruction and the Special Warrant Agent will execute the exercise by issuing to the Depository through the book entry registration system the Underlying Securities to which the exercising Special Warrantholder is entitled pursuant to the exercise. Any expense associated with the exercise process will be for the account of the entitlement holder exercising the Special Warrants and/or the Book Entry Only Participant exercising the Special Warrants on its behalf.

(h) By causing a Book Entry Only Participant to deliver notice to the Depository, a Special Warrantholder shall be deemed to have irrevocably surrendered his, her or its Special Warrants so exercised and appointed such Book Entry Only Participant to act as his, her or its exclusive settlement agent with respect to the exercise and the receipt of Underlying Securities in connection with the obligations arising from such exercise.

(i) Any notice which the Depository determines to be incomplete, not in proper form or not duly executed shall for all purposes be void and of no effect, and the exercise to which it relates shall be considered for all purposes not to have been exercised thereby. A failure by a Book Entry Only Participant to exercise or to give effect to the settlement thereof in accordance with the Special Warrantholder's instructions will not give rise to any obligations or liability on the part of the Corporation or Special Warrant Agent to the Book Entry Only Participant or the Special Warrantholder.

(j) Any exercise form or other Transaction Instruction referred to in this Section 5.2 shall be signed by the registered Special Warrantholder, its executors, administrators or other legal representatives or an attorney of the registered Special Warrantholder, duly appointed by an instrument in writing satisfactory to the Special Warrant Agent, but such exercise form need not be executed by the Depository.

30


(k) Any exercise referred to in this Section 5.2 shall require that the original exercise form or other Transaction Instruction executed by the registered Special Warrantholder or the Depository must be received by the Special Warrant Agent prior to the Deemed Exercise Date, as applicable.

(l) If the form of exercise notice set forth in the Special Warrant Certificate shall have been amended, the Corporation shall cause the amended exercise notice to be forwarded to all registered Special Warrantholders.

(m) Exercise notices and Transaction Instructions must be delivered to the Special Warrant Agent at any time during the Special Warrant Agent's actual business hours on any Business Day prior to the Deemed Exercise Date. Any exercise notice or Transaction Instruction received by the Special Warrant Agent after business hours on any Business Day other than the Deemed Exercise Date will be deemed to have been received by the Special Warrant Agent on the next following Business Day.

(n) Any Special Warrant with respect to which a Transaction Instruction is not received by the Special Warrant Agent before the Deemed Exercise Time on the Deemed Exercise Date shall be deemed to have expired and become void and all rights with respect to such Special Warrants shall terminate and be cancelled except for the right to receive Underlying Securities in accordance with Section 5.3.

(o) Within three (3) Business Days after the date of due exercise of a Special Warrant, the Special Warrant Agent shall cause to be delivered or mailed to the person or persons in whose name or names the Special Warrant is registered or to such address as the Corporation or Special Warrantholder may specify in writing to the Special Warrant Agent prior to the exercise of a Special Warrant or, if so specified in writing by the holder, cause to be delivered to such person or persons a certificate or certificates for the appropriate number of Underlying Securities subscribed for, or any other appropriate evidence of the issuance of Underlying Securities to such person or persons in respect of Underlying Securities issued under the book entry registration system.

(p) If any Underlying Securities subscribed for are to be issued to a person or persons other than the Special Warrantholder, the Special Warrantholder must pay to the Corporation or to the Special Warrant Agent on his, her or its behalf an amount equal to all applicable transfer taxes or other government charges, and the Corporation will not be required to issue or deliver any certificates evidencing any Underlying Securities unless or until that amount has been so paid or the Special Warrantholder has established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that the taxes and charges have been paid or that no taxes or charges are owing.

The exercise form attached to the Special Warrant Certificate 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 Special Warrantholder, his, her or its executor, administrator or other legal representative of such holder's attorney duly appointed.

5.3 Deemed Exercise of Special Warrants

All Special Warrants not otherwise exercised by the Special Warrantholders pursuant to Section 5.2 prior to the Deemed Exercise Time will be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the Deemed Exercise Time and surrendered by the Special Warrantholders without any further action or payment on the part of the Special Warrantholders. Upon the occurrence of such event, the Special Warrant Agent shall: (i) in respect of the CDS Global Special Warrants, as soon as possible deliver in uncertificated form to the Depository through the book entry registration system, the Underlying Securities issued upon the deemed exercise of the Special Warrants, and the Corporation will direct the Depository to receive the Underlying Securities through the book entry registration system; and (ii) in respect of the Special Warrant Certificates, mail within five (5) Business Days, one or more certificates representing the Underlying Securities issued upon the deemed exercise of the Special Warrants, registered in the name of the Special Warrantholders, to the addresses of the Special Warrantholders specified in the register for the Special Warrants or to such address as the Corporation may specify in writing to the Special Warrant Agent prior to the Deemed Exercise Time.

31


5.4 Effect of Exercise of Special Warrants

(a) Subject to subsection (b), upon the exercise or deemed exercise of a Special Warrant, the Corporation shall cause to be issued to: (i) in respect of Special Warrants that are not CDS Global Special Warrants, the person or persons in whose name or names the Underlying Securities so subscribed for are to be issued as specified in the Special Warrant register; or (ii) in respect of CDS Global Special Warrants, the Depository, the number of Underlying Securities to be issued to such person or persons and such person or persons shall become a holder or holders of the Underlying Securities with effect from the date on which the Special Warrant is exercised or deemed exercised and shall be entitled to delivery of certificates evidencing the Underlying Securities. The Corporation shall cause the certificates, or in the case of Underlying Securities issued under the book entry registration system, any other appropriate evidence of the issuance of Underlying Securities to be mailed by insured mail or delivered as specified to such person or persons (or, if applicable, the trustee under the registered retirement savings plan or other similar plans which holds the Underlying Securities) at the address or addresses specified in the Special Warrants register, within three (3) Business Days of the date on which the Special Warrant is exercised or deemed to be exercised.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, the Corporation shall not be required to deliver certificates for Underlying Securities in any period while the transfer registers of the Corporation for the Underlying Securities are closed and, in the event of the exercise of any Special Warrant during any such period, the Underlying Securities subscribed for shall be issued and such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Underlying Securities on the date on which such transfer registers are next reopened.

(c) Upon any exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants and issuance of Underlying Securities, the registered holders of the Underlying Securities so issued are deemed to have received the notice provided in Schedule "B" hereto.

5.5 Special Warrants Void After Exercise

After the exercise or deemed exercise of a Special Warrant as provided in this Article 5, the Special Warrantholder no longer has any rights under either this Indenture or the Special Warrant Certificate, other than the right to receive certificates or other evidence of ownership as provided herein representing the Underlying Securities and the Special Warrant is void and of no value or effect.

32


5.6 Fractions of Underlying Securities

Where a Special Warrantholder is entitled to receive, as a result of the adjustments provided for in Section 4.2 or otherwise, on the deemed exercise of its Special Warrants a fraction of an Underlying Security, such right may only be exercised in respect of such fraction in combination with another Special Warrant or other Special Warrants which in the aggregate entitle the Special Warrantholder to receive a whole number of Underlying Securities. If a Special Warrantholder is not able to, or elects not to, combine Special Warrants so as to be entitled to acquire a whole number of Underlying Securities, the Special Warrantholder may not acquire a fractional Underlying Security on the deemed exercise of such Special Warrants and, as a result, has the right to acquire only that number of Underlying Securities equal to the next lowest whole number of Underlying Securities and no cash will be paid in lieu of any fractional Underlying Security.

5.7 Accounting and Recording

The Special Warrant Agent shall record the particulars of the exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants, which shall include the name or names and addresses of the persons who become holders of Underlying Securities on exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants pursuant to this Article 5 and the number of Underlying Securities issued. Within five (5) Business Days of the exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants pursuant to this Article 5, the Special Warrant Agent shall provide those particulars in writing to the Corporation.

5.8 Legending of Special Warrants and Underlying Securities

(a) All Special Warrants and all securities issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof and all Special Warrant Certificates and all certificates issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, as applicable, prior to the earlier of the Qualification Date and the date which is four months and one day following the Closing Date will have the following legends endorsed thereon:

"UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE NOVEMBER 30, 2020."

(b) All Special Warrant Certificates issued to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States or U.S. Persons, including Accredited Investors (but excluding Qualified Institutional Buyers), and all certificates issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof and any certificates representing the Underlying Securities issued upon deemed exercise thereof will have the following legend endorsed thereon:

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY [IN THE CASE OF SPECIAL WARRANTS AND WARRANTS: AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF] HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "U.S. SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF] MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO THE CORPORATION, (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS, (C) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND IS AVAILABLE FOR RESALE OF THE SECURITIES, (D) IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER, IF AVAILABLE, OR RULE 144A THEREUNDER, IF AVAILABLE, AND, IN EACH CASE, IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (E) IN ANOTHER TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE HOLDER FURTHER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT IN THE EVENT OF A TRANSFER PURSUANT TO THE FOREGOING CLAUSE (D) OR (E), THE CORPORATION WILL REQUIRE A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL OF RECOGNIZED STANDING OR OTHER EVIDENCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS."

33


[For Special Warrants and Underlying Warrants only, add:

"THIS WARRANT MAY NOT BE EXERCISED IN THE UNITED STATES OR BY OR ON BEHALF OF, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, A PERSON IN THE UNITED STATES OR A U.S. PERSON UNLESS THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE 1933 ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS IS AVAILABLE. "UNITED STATES" AND "U.S. PERSON" ARE AS DEFINED BY REGULATION S UNDER THE 1933 ACT."]

provided that, if any of the Special Warrants or Underlying Securities are being sold outside the United States and in compliance with the requirements of Rule 904 of Regulation S under the 1933 Act, the legend set forth above may be removed by providing an executed declaration to the Corporation and its registrar and transfer agent and the Special Warrant Agent, as applicable, in the form attached as Schedule "D" hereof (or in such other form as the Corporation may prescribe from time to time) and, if requested by the Corporation or the registrar and transfer agent or Special Warrant Agent, as applicable, an opinion of counsel of recognized standing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation and the registrar and transfer agent or the Special Warrant Agent, as applicable), to the effect that the sale of the securities is being made in compliance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the 1933 Act;

and provided further that, if any of the Special Warrants or Underlying Securities are being sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Act and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws, the legend may be removed by delivery to the Corporation's registrar and transfer agent or the Special Warrant Agent, as applicable, of an opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation to the effect that the legend is no longer required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws.

34


5.9 Securities Restrictions

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, in the event that the Special Warrants are exercised prior to the Qualification Date, the certificates representing the Underlying Securities thereby issued will bear such legends as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Corporation, acting reasonably, be necessary in order to avoid a violation of any applicable securities laws or to comply with the requirements of any stock exchange on which the Underlying Securities are listed, provided that, if at any time, in the opinion of counsel to the Corporation, such legends are no longer necessary or advisable in order to avoid violation of such laws, or the holder of any such legended certificates representing the Underlying Securities provides, at the holder's expense, the Corporation and the Special Warrant Agent with evidence satisfactory in form and substance to the Corporation (which may include an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Corporation) to the effect that such holder is entitled to sell or otherwise transfer such Underlying Securities in a transaction in which such legends are not required, such legended certificates representing Underlying Securities may thereafter be surrendered to the transfer agent in exchange for certificates which do not bear such legend.

ARTICLE 6

MEETINGS OF SPECIAL WARRANTHOLDERS

6.1 Definitions

In this Article 6 or otherwise in this Indenture:

(a) "Adjourned Meeting" means a meeting adjourned in accordance with Section 6.8;

(b) "Extraordinary Resolution" means a resolution proposed to be passed as an extraordinary resolution at a Meeting duly convened for that purpose and held in accordance with the provisions of this Article 6, and carried by not less than 66 2/3% of the votes cast on such resolution; and

(c) "Meeting" means a meeting of the Special Warrantholders in respect of any resolution, including an Extraordinary Resolution.

6.2 Convening Meetings

The Special Warrant Agent or the Corporation may convene a Meeting at any time at the expense of the Corporation. Upon receipt of a written requisition signed in one or more counterparts by Special Warrantholders holding not less than 25% of the aggregate number of the then outstanding Special Warrants or upon a written request of the Corporation, the Special Warrant Agent shall convene a Meeting, provided that, it has been indemnified and funded to its reasonable satisfaction by the Corporation or the Special Warrantholders for the costs of convening and holding a Meeting. If the Special Warrant Agent fails to convene the Meeting within five (5) Business Days after being duly requisitioned to do so and indemnified and funded as aforesaid, the Special Warrantholders may themselves convene a Meeting, the notice for which must be signed by a person that those Special Warrantholders specify, provided that, the Special Warrant Agent and Corporation receive notice of the Meeting in accordance with Section 6.4. A written requisition must state, generally, the reason for the Meeting and business to be transacted at the Meeting.

6.3 Place of Meeting

Every Meeting must be held in Toronto, Ontario or at such other place that the Special Warrant Agent and Corporation approve.

35


6.4 Notice

The Special Warrant Agent or the Corporation, as the case may be, shall give written notice of each Meeting to each Special Warrantholder, the Special Warrant Agent (unless the Meeting has been called by the Special Warrant Agent) and the Corporation (unless the Meeting has been called by the Corporation) in the manner specified in Article 9 at least 10 Business Days before the date of the Meeting. The Special Warrant Agent shall give written notice of each Adjourned Meeting to each Special Warrantholder in the manner specified in Article 9 at least five (5) calendar days before the date of the Adjourned Meeting. The notice for a Meeting must state the time and place of the Meeting and, generally, the reason for the Meeting and the business to be transacted at the Meeting, together with such additional information as may be required to sufficiently inform the Special Warrantholders regarding the business to be transacted at the Meeting. The notice for an Adjourned Meeting must state the time and place of the Adjourned Meeting but need not specify the business to be transacted at an Adjourned Meeting. The accidental omission by the Special Warrant Agent or the Corporation, as the case may be, to give notice of a Meeting or an Adjourned Meeting to a Special Warrantholder does not invalidate a resolution passed at a Meeting or Adjourned Meeting.

6.5 Persons Entitled to Attend

The Corporation and the Underwriters may and the Special Warrant Agent shall, each by its authorized representatives, including directors, officers, employees and agents, attend every Meeting and Adjourned Meeting but neither the Corporation, the Underwriters nor the Special Warrant Agent have the right to vote unless they are acting in their capacity as a Special Warrantholder or a proxy for a Special Warrantholder. The legal advisors of the Corporation, the Underwriters, the Special Warrant Agent and any Special Warrantholders, respectively, may also attend a Meeting or Adjourned Meeting but do not have the right to vote, unless they have the right to vote as a Special Warrantholder or as a proxy for a Special Warrantholder.

6.6 Quorum

Subject to the provisions of Section 6.18, a quorum for a Meeting shall consist of two or more persons present in person and owning or representing by proxy not less than 25% of the aggregate number of the then outstanding Special Warrants.

6.7 Chairman

The Special Warrant Agent shall nominate a natural person as the chairman of a Meeting or Adjourned Meeting. If the person so nominated is not present within 15 minutes after the time set for holding the Meeting or Adjourned Meeting, the Special Warrantholders present in person or represented by proxy shall choose one of their number to be chairman. The chairman may vote any Special Warrants for which he or she is the registered holder.

6.8 Power to Adjourn

The chairman of any Meeting at which a quorum of the Special Warrantholders is present may, with the consent of the Meeting, adjourn any such meeting. Notice of such adjournment will be given in accordance with Section 6.4 with such other requirements, if any, as the Meeting may prescribe.

36


6.9 Adjourned Meeting

If a quorum of the Special Warrantholders shall not be present within 30 minutes from the time fixed for holding any Meeting, the Meeting, if summoned by the Special Warrantholders or on the written direction of any Special Warrantholders holding not less than 25% of the aggregate number of the then outstanding Special Warrants, shall be dissolved, but in any other case, the Meeting shall be adjourned to the same day in the next week (unless such day is not a Business Day, in which case it shall be adjourned to the next following Business Day) at the same place and time. Any business may be brought before or dealt with at an Adjourned Meeting which might have been dealt with at the original Meeting in accordance with the notice calling the same. No business shall be transacted at any Meeting unless a quorum is present at the commencement of the Meeting. At the Adjourned Meeting, the Special Warrantholders present in person or represented by proxy shall form a quorum and may transact the business for which the Meeting was originally convened, notwithstanding that they may not hold at least 25% of the aggregate number of the then outstanding Special Warrants.

6.10 Show of Hands

Every question submitted to a meeting, other than an Extraordinary Resolution, will be decided in the first place by a majority of the votes given on a show of hands and, unless a poll is duly demanded as herein provided, a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has been carried or carried unanimously or by a particular majority or lost or not carried by a particular majority will be conclusive evidence of the fact. On a show of hands, every person who is present and entitled to vote, whether as a Special Warrantholder or as proxy for one or more absent Special Warrantholders, or both, shall have one vote.

6.11 Poll

When requested by one or more Special Warrantholders acting in person or by proxy and holding in the aggregate at least 5% of the aggregate number of the then outstanding Special Warrants, on every Extraordinary Resolution, or as directed by the chairman of a Meeting or Adjourned Meeting, the chairman of a Meeting or Adjourned Meeting shall request a poll on a question submitted to the Meeting. Except as otherwise required herein, if a question has been put to a poll, that question shall be decided by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the votes given on the poll. If the vote is tied, the motion shall not be carried. On a poll, each Special Warrantholder or person representing a Special Warrantholder by proxy shall be entitled to one vote for every Special Warrant of which he, she or it is the registered holder or of which the person being represented by proxy is the registered holder, as the case may be. A declaration made by the chairman that a resolution has been carried or lost is conclusive evidence thereof. In the case of joint registered Special Warrantholders, any one of them present in person or represented by proxy may vote in the absence of the other or others but when more than one of them is present in person or by proxy, they may only vote together in respect of the Special Warrants of which they are joint registered holders.

6.12 Regulations

Subject to the provisions of this Indenture, the Special Warrant Agent, or the Corporation with the approval of the Special Warrant Agent, may from time to time make and, thereafter, vary regulations not contrary to the provisions of this Indenture as it deems fit providing for and governing the following:

(a) setting a record date for a Meeting for determining Special Warrantholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at a Meeting;

(d) the form of the instrument of proxy; and

(e) any other matter relating to the conduct of a Meeting.

A regulation so made is binding and effective and votes given in accordance with such a regulation shall be valid and counted. The Special Warrant Agent may permit Special Warrantholders to make proof of ownership in the manner the Special Warrant Agent approves.

6.13 Powers of Special Warrantholders

By Extraordinary Resolution passed pursuant to this Article 6, the Special Warrantholders may:

38


(g) restrain any Special Warrantholder from instituting or continuing any suit or proceeding against the Corporation for the enforcement of a covenant on the part of the Corporation contained in this Indenture or any of the rights conferred upon the Special Warrantholders as set out in this Indenture or the Special Warrant Certificates;

(h) direct a Special Warrantholder who, as such, has brought a suit, action or proceeding to stay or discontinue or otherwise deal with the same upon payment of the costs, charges and expenses reasonably and properly incurred by such Special Warrantholder in connection therewith;

6.14 Powers Cumulative

Any one or more of the powers or any combination of the powers in this Indenture stated to be exercised by the Special Warrantholders by Extraordinary Resolution or otherwise may be exercised from time to time and the exercise of any one or more of such powers or any combination of powers from time to time shall not be deemed to exhaust the right of the Special Warrantholders to exercise such power or combination of powers then or thereafter from time to time.

6.15 Minutes of Meetings

The Special Warrant Agent shall make and maintain minutes and records of all resolutions and proceedings at a Meeting or Adjourned Meeting at the expense of the Corporation and shall make available those minutes and records at the office of the Special Warrant Agent for inspection by a Special Warrantholder or his, her or its authorized representative and the Underwriters at reasonable times. If signed by the chairman of the Meeting or by the chairman of the next succeeding Meeting, such minutes shall be prima facie evidence of the matters therein stated and, until the contrary is proved, every such Meeting in respect of which minutes shall have been made shall be deemed to have been duly convened and held, and all the resolutions passed thereat or proceedings taken shall be deemed to have been duly passed and taken.

6.16 Written Resolutions

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a written resolution or instrument signed in one or more counterparts by the Special Warrantholders holding not less than a majority of the Special Warrants outstanding in the case of an ordinary resolution, or not less than 66⅔% of the Special Warrants outstanding in the case of an Extraordinary Resolution, is deemed to be the same as, and to have the same force and effect as, an ordinary resolution or Extraordinary Resolution, as the case may be, duly passed at a Meeting or Adjourned Meeting.

39


6.17 Binding Effect

Every resolution and every Extraordinary Resolution passed in accordance with the provisions of this Article 6 at a meeting of Special Warrantholders shall be binding upon all the Special Warrantholders, whether present at or absent from such meeting, and every instrument in writing signed by Special Warrantholders in accordance with Section 6.16 shall be binding upon all the Special Warrantholders, whether signatories thereto or not, and each and every Special Warrantholder, the Corporation and the Special Warrant Agent (subject to the provisions for indemnity herein contained) shall be bound to give effect accordingly to every such resolution and instrument in writing.

In determining whether Special Warrantholders are present at a Meeting for the purpose of determining a quorum or have concurred in any consent, waiver, resolution, Extraordinary Resolution or other action under this Indenture, Special Warrants owned legally or beneficially by the Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Corporation shall be disregarded. The Corporation will provide the Special Warrant Agent with, upon request, a certificate of the Corporation detailing its holdings and those of its subsidiaries and the various registrations.

ARTICLE 7

7.1 Provision for Supplemental Indentures for Certain Purposes

From time to time, the Corporation (when authorized by action of the directors) and the Special Warrant Agent may, subject to the provisions hereof and shall, when so directed in accordance with the provisions hereof, execute and deliver by their proper officers, indentures or instruments supplemental hereto, which thereafter shall form part hereof, for any one or more or all of the following purposes:

(a) adding to the provisions hereof such additional covenants, enforcement provisions and release provisions (if any) as in the opinion of Counsel are necessary or advisable, provided the same are not, in the opinion of the Special Warrant Agent, relying on the advice or opinion of Counsel, prejudicial to the interests of the Special Warrantholders;

ARTICLE 8

CONCERNING THE SPECIAL WARRANT AGENT

8.1 Duties of Special Warrant Agent

By way of supplement to the provisions of any statute for the time being relating to special warrant agents, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, in the exercise of the rights, duties and obligations prescribed or conferred by the terms of this Indenture, the Special Warrant Agent shall act honestly and in good faith and shall exercise that degree of care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent special warrant agent would exercise in comparable circumstances. No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Special Warrant Agent from, or require any other person to indemnify the Special Warrant Agent against, any liability for its own gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud.

8.2 Action by Special Warrant Agent

The Special Warrant Agent is not obligated to do any act or thing except where required to do so by this Indenture and, in the case of a default, only when it has actual notice thereof.

8.3 Certificate of the Corporation

If, in the administration of its duties hereunder, the Special Warrant Agent deems it necessary or desirable that any matter be proved or established by the Corporation, prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, the Special Warrant Agent may accept, act and rely upon, and shall be protected in accepting, acting and relying upon, a certificate of the Corporation as conclusive evidence of the truth of any fact relating to the Corporation or its assets therein stated and proof of the regularity of any proceedings or actions associated therewith, but the Special Warrant Agent may in its discretion require further evidence or information before acting or relying on any such certificate. In addition to the reports, certificates, opinions and other evidence required by this Indenture, the Corporation shall furnish to the Special Warrant Agent such additional evidence of compliance with any provision hereof, and in such form as may be prescribed by Applicable Legislation, under Section 8.6, or as the Special Warrant Agent may reasonably require by written notice to the Corporation. Whenever Applicable Legislation requires that evidence referred to in this Section 8.3 be in the form of a statutory declaration, the Special Warrant Agent may accept such statutory declaration in lieu of a certificate of the Corporation required by any provision hereof. Any such statutory declaration may be made by any one or more of the Chairman of the board of directors, the Chief Executive Officer, President or Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation or by any other officer or director of the Corporation to whom such authority is delegated by the directors from time to time.

The Special Warrant Agent may, at the Corporation's expense, employ or retain such lawyers, accountants, engineers, appraisers or other experts, advisers or agents as it may reasonably require for the purpose of determining and discharging its duties hereunder and may pay reasonable remuneration for such services rendered to it, but it is not responsible for any misconduct, mistake or error of judgment on the part of any of them, and the Corporation shall pay or reimburse the Special Warrant Agent for any reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of such experts or advisors. The Corporation shall reimburse the Special Warrant Agent for all disbursements, costs and expenses made or incurred by the Special Warrant Agent in the discharge of its duties and in the management of its duties hereunder. The Special Warrant Agent may rely and act upon, and shall be protected from relying and acting upon, the opinion or advice of, or information obtained from, any such lawyer, accountant, engineer, appraiser or other expert, adviser or agent in relation to any matter arising in the administration of its duties hereunder. The Special Warrant Agent shall not incur any liability for the acts or omissions of such lawyers, accountants, engineers, appraisers or other experts, advisers or agents employed by the Special Warrant Agent in good faith.

42


8.5 Resignation and Replacement of Special Warrant Agent

(a) The Special Warrant Agent may resign and be discharged from all further obligations hereunder by giving to the Corporation written notice of at least 60 calendar days, or such shorter time period if acceptable to the Corporation, before the effective date of the resignation. If the Special Warrant Agent resigns, or becomes incapable of acting hereunder, the Corporation shall forthwith appoint in writing a new special warrant agent, unless a new Special Warrant Agent has already been appointed by the Special Warrantholders by Extraordinary Resolution.

(b) Failing such appointment by the Corporation or by the Special Warrantholders by Extraordinary Resolution, the retiring Special Warrant Agent, at the expense of the Corporation, or any Special Warrantholder may apply to a Judge of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on such notice as such Judge may direct, for the appointment of a new special warrant agent. The Special Warrantholders may, by Extraordinary Resolution, remove the Special Warrant Agent (including a special warrant agent appointed by the Corporation or by a Judge as aforesaid) and appoint a new special warrant agent.

(c) Any new Special Warrant Agent appointed under the provisions of this Section 8.5 shall be a corporation authorized to carry on the business of a trust company in one or more provinces of Canada and, if required by Applicable Legislation of any province, in such province.

(d) On any new appointment, the new Special Warrant Agent is vested with the same powers, rights, duties and obligations as if it had been originally named as Special Warrant Agent without any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed; but there will be immediately executed, at the expense of the Corporation, all such conveyances or other instruments as may, in the opinion of Counsel, be necessary or advisable for the purpose of assuring such powers, rights, duties, and responsibilities of the new Special Warrant Agent, provided that, any successor Special Warrant Agent shall have executed an appropriate instrument accepting such appointment and, at the request of the Corporation, the predecessor Special Warrant Agent, upon payment of its outstanding remuneration and expenses, shall execute and deliver to the successor Special Warrant Agent an appropriate instrument transferring to such successor Special Warrant Agent all rights and powers of the Special Warrant Agent hereunder.

(e) On the appointment of a new Special Warrant Agent, the Corporation will promptly give notice thereof to the Special Warrantholders.

(f) Any Special Warrant Certificates certified but not delivered by a predecessor Special Warrant Agent may be delivered by the successor Special Warrant Agent in the name of the predecessor or successor Special Warrant Agent.

(g) Any corporation into which the Special Warrant Agent may be merged or consolidated or amalgamated, or to which all or substantially all of its corporate trust business is sold or otherwise transferred or any corporation resulting therefrom to which the Special Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to substantially the corporate trust business of the Special Warrant Agent shall be the successor to the Special Warrant Agent hereunder without any further act on its part or any of the parties hereto, provided that such corporation is eligible for appointment as successor Special Warrant Agent pursuant to Section 8.5(c).

43


8.6 Indenture Legislation

The Corporation and the Special Warrant Agent agree that each shall at all times in relation to this Indenture and to any action to be taken hereunder, observe and comply with and be entitled to the benefits of all Applicable Legislation. If and to the extent that any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with any mandatory requirement of Applicable Legislation, such mandatory requirement prevails.

8.7 Notice

The Special Warrant Agent shall not be bound to give any notice or do or take any act, action, or proceeding by virtue of the powers conferred on it hereby unless and until it is required to do so under the terms hereof, nor shall the Special Warrant Agent be required to take notice of any default hereunder, unless and until notified in writing of such default, which notice shall distinctly specify the default desired to be brought to the attention of the Special Warrant Agent and in the absence of any such notice the Special Warrant Agent may for all purposes of this Indenture conclusively assume that no default has been made in the observance or performance of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or conditions contained herein. Any such notice will in no way limit any discretion herein given the Special Warrant Agent to determine whether or not the Special Warrant Agent will take action with respect to any default. The Special Warrant Agent shall not be bound to give notice to any person of execution hereof.

8.8 Use of Proceeds

The Special Warrant Agent is in no way responsible for the use by the Corporation of the proceeds of the issue hereunder.

8.9 No Inquiries

In the exercise of any right or duty hereunder, the Special Warrant Agent, if it is acting in good faith, may act and rely, as to the truth of any statement or the accuracy of any opinion expressed therein, on any statutory declaration, opinion, report, certificate or other evidence furnished to the Special Warrant Agent pursuant to a provision hereof or of Applicable Legislation or pursuant to a request of the Special Warrant Agent if the Special Warrant Agent examines such evidence and determines that it complies with the applicable requirements of this Indenture. The Special Warrant Agent may nevertheless, in its discretion, require further proof in cases where it deems further proof desirable. Proof of execution of any document or instrument in writing by a Special Warrantholder may be made by the certificate of a notary public, or other officer with similar powers, that the person signing such instrument acknowledged to him or her the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution, or in any other manner the Special Warrant Agent considers adequate and, in respect of a corporate Special Warrantholder, shall include a certificate of incumbency of such Special Warrantholder, together with a certified resolution authorizing the person who signs such instrument to sign such instrument. The Special Warrant Agent is not bound to make any inquiry or investigation as to the performance by the Corporation of the Corporation's covenants hereunder.

44


8.10 Actions by Special Warrant Agent to Protect Interest

The Special Warrant Agent shall have the power to institute and to maintain such actions and proceedings as it may consider reasonably necessary or expedient to preserve, protect or enforce its interests and the interests of the Special Warrantholders.

8.11 Special Warrant Agent Not Required to Give Security

The Special Warrant Agent is not required to give any bond or security with respect to the execution or administration of its duties and powers of this Indenture.

8.12 No Conflict of Interest

The Special Warrant Agent represents to the Corporation that, to the best of its knowledge, at the time of the execution and delivery by it of this Indenture, there exists no material conflict of interest in the role of the Special Warrant Agent hereunder but if, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.12, such a material conflict of interest exists or arises, the validity and enforceability of this Indenture and the instruments issued hereunder are not affected in any manner whatsoever by reason only that such material conflict of interest exists or arises. The Special Warrant Agent shall, within 30 calendar days after ascertaining that it has a material conflict of interest, either eliminate such material conflict of interest or resign in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.5.

8.13 Special Warrant Agent Not Ordinarily Bound

No provision of this Indenture shall require the Special Warrant Agent (and its officers, directors, employees and agents) to expend or risk its (or their) own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its (or their) duties or in the exercise of any of its (or their) rights or powers unless it is (or they are) so indemnified and funded. The obligation of the Special Warrant Agent to commence or continue any act, action or proceeding for the purpose of enforcing any rights of the Special Warrantholders hereunder, is conditional upon Special Warrantholders furnishing, when required in writing so to do by the Special Warrant Agent, funds sufficient for commencing or continuing the act, action or proceeding and an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Special Warrant Agent to protect and hold harmless the Special Warrant Agent against any costs, charges, expenses, loss, damage or liability by reason thereof. The Special Warrant Agent may, before commencing or at any time during the continuance of any such act, action, or proceeding, require the Special Warrantholders at whose instance it is acting to deposit with the Special Warrant Agent the Special Warrant Certificate(s) held by them, for which Special Warrant Certificate(s) the Special Warrant Agent shall issue receipt(s).

8.14 Special Warrant Agent May Deal in Instruments

Subject to Section 8.12, the Special Warrant Agent may in its personal or other capacity, buy, sell, lend upon and deal in and hold securities of the Corporation, including the Special Warrants, and generally contract and enter into financial transactions with the Corporation or otherwise, without being liable to account for any profits made thereby.

8.15 Recitals or Statements of Fact Made by Corporation

Except for the representations contained in Sections 8.12 and in the certification or Authentication of the Special Warrant Agent of the Special Warrants Certificates and the Uncertificated Special Warrants, subject to the provisions hereof, the Special Warrant Agent is not liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Indenture or in the Special Warrant Certificates and is not required to verify the same, but all such statements and recitals are and are deemed to have been made by the Corporation only.

45


8.16 Special Warrant Agent's Discretion Absolute

Except as herein otherwise provided, the Special Warrant Agent has, as regards to all the powers, authorities and discretions vested in it, absolute discretion as to the exercise thereof, whether in relation to the manner or as to the mode and time for the exercise thereof.

8.17 No Representations as to Validity

The Special Warrant Agent is not:

(a) under any responsibility in respect of the validity of this Indenture or the execution and delivery thereof or (subject to Section 2.4(a) hereof) in respect of the validity or the execution of any Special Warrant Certificate;

(b) under any obligation to see to, or to require evidence of, the registration or filing (or renewal thereof) of this Indenture or any instrument ancillary or supplemental hereto;

(c) bound to give notice to any person or persons of the execution hereof;

(d) responsible for any breach by the Corporation of any covenant or condition contained in this Indenture or in any Special Warrant Certificate and will not incur any liability or responsibility whatever or be in any way responsible for the consequences of any breach by the Corporation of any obligation herein contained or of any act of any director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation; or

(e) by any act hereunder, deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any securities to be issued as provided in this Indenture or in any Special Warrant Certificate or as to whether any Common Shares will when issued be duly authorized or be validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable. The duty and responsibility as to all the matters and things referred to in this Section 8.17 rests upon the Corporation and not upon the Special Warrant Agent and the failure of the Corporation to discharge any such duty and responsibility does not in any way render the Special Warrant Agent liable or place upon it any duty or responsibility for breach of which it would be liable.

8.18 Special Warrant Agent's Authority to Carry on Business

The Special Warrant Agent represents to the Corporation that at the date hereof it is authorized to carry on the business of a trust company in Alberta and British Columbia. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.18, it ceases to be authorized to carry on such business in Alberta and British Columbia, the validity and enforceability of this Indenture and of the Special Warrants issued hereunder are not affected in any manner whatsoever by reason only of such event, provided that, the Special Warrant Agent shall, within 30 calendar days after ceasing to be authorized to carry on such business in Alberta and British Columbia, either become so authorized or resign in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.5.

46


8.19 Indemnification of Special Warrant Agent

Without limiting any protection or indemnity of the Special Warrant Agent under any other provision hereof or otherwise at law, the Corporation hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Special Warrant Agent and its affiliates, their successors, assigns, and each of their directors, officers, employees and agents (the "Indemnified Parties") and save them harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs, charges, payments, expenses and disbursements, including reasonable legal or advisor fees and disbursements, of whatever kind and nature which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Indemnified Parties in connection with the performance of its duties and obligations hereunder, other than such liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs, charges, payments, expenses and other disbursements arising by reason of the gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud of the Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Indenture, any liability of the Special Warrant Agent, other than gross negligence, wilful misconduct, bad faith and fraud, shall be limited, in the aggregate, to the amount of annual retainer fees paid by to the Special Warrant Agent under this Indenture in the twelve months immediately prior to the Special Warrant Agent receiving the first notice of the claim. This provision shall survive the resignation or removal of the Special Warrant Agent or the termination of this Indenture. In the absence of gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud on its part, the Special Warrant Agent will not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted by it or for any error of judgment made by it in performance of its duties under this Agreement. In no event will the Special Warrant Agent be liable for special, indirect, consequential, or punitive loss or damages of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits), even if the Special Warrant Agent has been advised of the possibility of such damages. The Special Warrant Agent shall not be under any obligation to prosecute or to defend any action or suit in respect of the relationship which, in the opinion of its Counsel, may involve it in expense or liability, unless the Corporation shall, so often as reasonably required, furnish the Special Warrant Agent with satisfactory indemnity and funding against such expense or liability.

8.20 Third Party Interests

The Corporation hereby represents to the Special Warrant Agent that any account to be opened by, or interest to be held by, the Special Warrant Agent in connection with this Indenture, for or to the credit of such party, either: (i) is not intended to be used by or on behalf of any third party; or (ii) is intended to be used by or on behalf of a third party, in which case the Corporation agrees to complete and execute forthwith a declaration in the Special Warrant Agent's prescribed form as to the particulars of such third party.

8.21 Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Legislation

The Special Warrant Agent shall retain the right not to act and shall not be liable for refusing to act if, due to a lack of information or for any other reason whatsoever, the Special Warrant Agent, in its sole judgment, determines that such act might cause it to be in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist legislation or economic sanctions legislation, regulation or guideline. Further, should the Special Warrant Agent, in its sole judgment, determine at any time that its acting under this Indenture has resulted in its being in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering, anti- terrorist legislation or economic sanctions legislation, regulation or guideline, then it shall have the right to resign on 10 calendar days' written notice to the Corporation, provided: (i) that the Special Warrant Agent's written notice shall describe the circumstances of such non-compliance; and (ii) that if such circumstances are rectified to the Special Warrant Agent's satisfaction within such 10-day period, then such resignation shall not be effective.

47


8.22 Not Appointed Receiver

The Special Warrant Agent and any person related to the Special Warrant Agent will not be appointed a receiver or receiver and manager or liquidator of all or any part of the assets or undertaking of the Corporation.

8.23 Compliance with Privacy Policy

The Corporation acknowledges that the Special Warrant Agent may, in the course of providing services hereunder, collect or receive financial and other personal information about such party and/or its representatives, as individuals, or about other individuals related to the subject matter hereof, and use such information for the following purposes:

(a) to provide the services required under this Indenture and other services that may be requested by the Corporation from time to time;

(b) to help the Special Warrant Agent manage its servicing relationships with such individuals;

The Corporation acknowledges and agrees that the Special Warrant Agent may receive, collect, use and disclose personal information provided to it or acquired by it in the course of its acting as special warrant agent hereunder for the purposes described above and, generally, in the manner and on the terms described in its privacy policy, which the Special Warrant Agent shall make available on its website or upon request, including revisions thereto. Further, the Corporation agrees that it shall not provide or cause to be provided to the Special Warrant Agent any personal information relating to an individual who is not a party to this Indenture unless the Corporation has assured itself that such individual understands and has consented to the aforementioned uses and disclosures.

No consent or waiver, express or implied, by either party to or of any breach or default by the other party in the performance by the other party of its obligations hereunder is deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance of obligations hereunder by such party. Failure on the part of either party to complain of any act or failure to act by the other party or to declare the other party in default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by such party of its rights hereunder.

11.4 Waiver of Default

Notwithstanding Section 11.3 above, upon the happening of any default hereunder:

(a) the holders of not less than 50% of the Special Warrants plus one Special Warrant then outstanding shall have power (in addition to the powers exercisable by Extraordinary Resolution created under Article 6) by requisition in writing to instruct the Special Warrant Agent to waive any default hereunder and the Special Warrant Agent shall thereupon waive the default upon such terms and conditions as shall be prescribed in such requisition; or

(b) the Special Warrant Agent shall have power to waive any default hereunder upon such terms and conditions as the Special Warrant Agent may deem advisable, if, in the Special Warrant Agent's opinion, relying on the opinion of Counsel, the same shall have been cured or adequate provision made therefor;

51


provided that, no delay or omission of the Special Warrant Agent or of the Special Warrantholders to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or acquiescence therein and provided further that no act or omission either of the Special Warrant Agent or of the Special Warrantholders shall extend to or be taken in any manner whatsoever to affect any subsequent default hereunder of the rights resulting therefrom.

11.5 Immunity of Shareholders

Subject to the contractual right of action given by the Corporation to the Special Warrantholders in the subscription agreements between the Corporation and the purchasers of the Special Warrants, given in Section 3.17 herein and to be contained in the Prospectus, and subject to any other rights or remedies available to the Special Warrantholders under applicable securities legislation or otherwise, the Special Warrant Agent and, by the acceptance of the Special Warrant Certificate or other evidence of ownership in the case of Uncertificated Special Warrants and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Special Warrants, the Special Warrantholders hereby waive and release any right, cause of action or remedy now or hereafter existing in any jurisdiction against any incorporator or any past, present or future shareholder, director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or of any successor corporation on any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty by the Corporation contained herein or in the Special Warrant Certificates.

Subject to Section 11.5, the obligations hereunder are not personally binding upon, nor shall resort hereunder be had to, the private property of any of the past, present or future directors or shareholders of the Corporation or of any successor corporation or any of the past, present or future officers, employees or agents of the Corporation or of any successor corporation, but only the property of the Corporation or of any successor corporation shall be bound in respect hereof.

11.7 Suits by Special Warrantholders

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 11.7(a) and otherwise in this Indenture, all or any of the rights conferred upon a Special Warrantholder by the terms of a Special Warrant may be enforced by such Special Warrantholder by appropriate legal proceedings without prejudice to the right which is hereby conferred upon the Special Warrant Agent to proceed in its own name to enforce each and all of the provisions herein contained for the benefit of the Special Warrantholders from time to time.

52


11.8 Force Majeure

Except for the payment obligations of the Corporation contained herein, neither party shall be liable to the other, or held in breach of this Indenture, if prevented, hindered, or delayed in the performance or observance of any provision contained herein by reason of act of God, riots, terrorism, acts of war, epidemics, pandemics, earthquakes or any other similar causes (including, but not limited to, mechanical, electronic or communication interruptions, disruptions or failures). Performance times under this Indenture shall be extended for a period of time equivalent to the time lost because of any delay that is excusable under this Section 11.8.

11.9 Enurement

This Indenture enures to the benefit of and is binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and, subject to Sections 4.1(d), 7.2 and 8.5(g), may not be assigned by either party hereto without the consent in writing of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

Each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to rely on delivery of a PDF or other electronic copy of this Indenture and acceptance by each such party of any such PDF or other electronic copy shall be legally effective to create a valid and binding agreement between the parties hereto in accordance with the terms hereof.

11.11 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture

Upon the occurrence of the Deemed Exercise Time and if and once all Underlying Securities required to be issued in compliance with the provisions hereof have been issued and delivered hereunder, this Indenture (except for any indemnities given to the Special Warrant Agent) shall cease to be of further effect and the Special Warrant Agent, on demand of and at the cost and expense of the Corporation and upon delivery to the Special Warrant Agent of a certificate of the Corporation stating that all conditions precedent to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with, and upon payment to the Special Warrant Agent of the fees and other remuneration payable to the Special Warrant Agent, the Special Warrant Agent shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnities provided to the Special Warrant Agent by the Corporation hereunder, Section 2.5(g) and Section 3.17 shall remain in full force and effect and survive the termination of this Indenture.

11.12 Provisions of Indenture and Special Warrants for the Sole Benefit of Parties and Special Warrantholders

Nothing in this Indenture or the Special Warrants, expressed or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any person other than the parties hereto and the holders from time to time of the Special Warrants any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture, or under any covenant or provision therein contained, all such covenants and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and the Special Warrantholders.

53

CALDAS GOLD CORP.

CUSIP NO: 12878L149

ISIN NO: CA12878L1498
«Number» SPECIAL WARRANTS entitling the holder to acquire one Unit (comprised of one Underlying Share and one Underlying Warrant) for each Special Warrant, subject to adjustment as set out below

 

THIS IS TO CERTIFY that, for value received, «Name» (the "Special Warrantholder") is the registered holder of the number of special warrants (the "Special Warrants") stated above and is entitled to acquire in the manner and at the time, and subject to the restrictions contained in the Indenture (as defined below), one common share and one common share purchase warrant (collectively, the "Underlying Securities") of Caldas Gold Corp. (the "Corporation") per Special Warrant represented hereby (subject to adjustment as set out below and in the Indenture), all without payment of any additional consideration.

The Special Warrants represented by this certificate are issued under and pursuant to a certain indenture (the "Indenture") made as of July 29, 2020 between the Corporation and Odyssey Trust Company (the "Special Warrant Agent") (which expression includes any successor special warrant agent appointed under the Indenture), to which Indenture and any instruments supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a full description of the rights of the holders of the Special Warrants and the terms and conditions upon which such Special Warrants are, or are to be, issued and 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 these Special Warrants by acceptance hereof assents. All terms defined in the Indenture are used herein as so defined. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of the Indenture and the provisions of this Special Warrant Certificate, except those that are necessary by context, the provisions of the Indenture shall prevail. The Corporation will furnish to the holder of this Special Warrant Certificate, upon request and without charge, a copy of the Indenture.

Unless previously exercised by way of voluntary exercise, the Special Warrants represented by this Special Warrant Certificate will be deemed to be automatically exercised immediately prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the earlier of:

(i) the date that is the fifth Business Day after the date on which the receipt (the "Receipt") for a (final) short form prospectus qualifying the distribution of the Underlying Securities issuable upon the exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants (the "Prospectus") has been issued by the securities commissions or similar regulatory authority (the "Securities Regulators") in each of the provinces of Canada, except Quebec, in which Special Warrants are sold (the "Designated Jurisdictions"); and

A-2


(ii) the date that is 4 months and one day after the date hereof (the "Deemed Exercise Time").

If any Special Warrants have not been voluntarily exercised by the holder thereof prior to the Deemed Exercise Time, then such Special Warrants will be deemed to have been exercised, delivered and surrendered by the holders thereof immediately prior to the Deemed Exercise Time without any payment or further action on the part of the holders.

The Corporation will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Receipt for the Prospectus on or before 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on September 21, 2020 (the "Qualification Deadline"). If the Receipt for the Prospectus is not issued prior to the Qualification Deadline, then each holder of a Special Warrant will be entitled to receive upon the deemed exercise of each Special Warrant, without payment of any additional consideration or further action on the part of the holder thereof, 1.1 Units per Special Warrant, on the Deemed Exercise Date. References to "Underlying Securities" herein include any additional Underlying Securities resulting from such adjustment.

The holder of this Special Warrant Certificate may, at any time before the Deemed Exercise Time, exercise all or any number of the Special Warrants represented hereby, by surrendering to the Special Warrant Agent a Special Warrant Certificate or Special Warrant Certificates representing the number of Special Warrants to be exercised, together with the duly completed and executed exercise form attached as Appendix "1" hereto in accordance with the instructions contained in Appendix "3" attached hereto. Any such exercise, at a time when the Corporation has not received the Receipt for the Prospectus from the Securities Regulators or the Prospectus has not been delivered to the Special Warrantholder, is subject to compliance with, and may be restricted by, Applicable Legislation. If, at the time of the exercise of the Special Warrants, there remain restrictions on resale under Applicable Legislation on the Underlying Securities acquired, the Corporation may endorse the certificates representing the Underlying Securities acquired with respect to such resale restrictions.

The Underlying Securities in respect of which the Special Warrants are exercised or deemed exercised will be deemed to have been issued on the date of such exercise, at which time each Special Warrantholder will be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Underlying Securities.

After the exercise or deemed exercise of Special Warrants, the Special Warrant Agent shall within five (5) Business Days of such exercise or deemed exercise cause to be mailed or delivered to each Special Warrantholder at its address specified in the register for the Special Warrants maintained by the Special Warrant Agent or to such address as the Corporation may specify in writing to the Special Warrant Agent prior to the exercise of such Special Warrants, certificates for the appropriate number of Underlying Securities issuable in respect of such Special Warrants, not exceeding those which such Special Warrantholder is entitled to acquire pursuant to the Special Warrants so exercised.

The holder of this Special Warrant Certificate may at any time up to the Deemed Exercise Time, upon written instruction delivered to the Special Warrant Agent and payment of the charges provided for in the Indenture and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, exchange this Special Warrant Certificate for other Special Warrant Certificate(s) evidencing the same number of Special Warrants represented by this Special Warrant Certificate. If the holder of this Special Warrant Certificate exercises some but not all of the Special Warrants represented hereby, he or she will be entitled to receive, without charge, a new Special Warrant Certificate representing the unexercised number of the Special Warrants represented hereby.

A-3


The number of Underlying Securities which may be acquired by a Special Warrantholder upon the exercise or deemed exercise of Special Warrants is also subject to and governed by Article 4 of the Indenture with respect to anti-dilution provisions, including provisions for the appropriate adjustment of the class, number and price of the securities issuable hereunder upon the occurrence of certain events, including any subdivision, consolidation or reclassification of the shares, payment of stock dividends or amalgamation of the Corporation.

The holding of the Special Warrants evidenced by this Special Warrant Certificate does not constitute the Special Warrantholder a shareholder of the Corporation or entitle such holder to any right or interest in respect thereof except as expressly provided herein and in the Indenture.

The Special Warrants may only be transferred by the Special Warrantholder (or its legal representatives or its attorney duly appointed), on the register kept at the office of the Special Warrant Agent, in accordance with applicable laws and upon compliance with the conditions set out in the Indenture, by delivering to the Special Warrant Agent's Vancouver, British Columbia office the Special Warrant Certificate, along with a duly executed Form of Transfer attached as Appendix "2" hereto, and complying with such other reasonable requirements as the Corporation and the Special Warrant Agent may prescribe and such transfer shall be duly noted on the register by the Special Warrant Agent.

The holder understands and acknowledges that the Special Warrants and Underlying Securities issuable hereunder upon the exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), or under the securities laws of any state of the United States, and that the Special Warrants originally issued in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, a person in the United States or a U.S. person are, and any Underlying Securities issued upon the exercise or deemed exercise of such Special Warrants will be, "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) of the 1933 Act. "United States" and "U.S. person" have the respective meanings assigned in Regulation S ("Regulation S") under the 1933 Act.

This Special Warrant Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein and shall be treated in all respects as an Ontario contract.

After the exercise or deemed exercise of any of the Special Warrants represented by this Special Warrant Certificate, the Special Warrantholder shall no longer have any rights under either the Indenture or this Special Warrant Certificate with respect to such Special Warrants, other than the right to receive certificates representing the Underlying Securities issuable on the exercise or deemed exercise of those Special Warrants, and those Special Warrants shall be void and of no further value or effect.

The Indenture contains provisions making binding upon all Special Warrantholders resolutions passed at meetings of such holders in accordance with such provisions or by instruments in writing signed by the Special Warrantholders holding a specified percentage of the Special Warrants.

Time shall be of the essence hereof.
