No Warrant Certificate shall be issued or, if issued, shall be valid for any purpose or entitle the holder to the benefit hereof until it has been certified by manual signature by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent by its authorized signing officers substantially in the form of the Warrant Certificate, and such certification by the Warrant Agent upon any Warrant Certificate shall be conclusive evidence as against the Corporation that the Warrant Certificate so certified has been duly issued hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the benefits hereof.

  2.10.3

A Warrant shall be transferable by surrender of the Warrant Certificate relating thereto, accompanied by proper instruments of transfer in suitable form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent for transfer by delivery with the same effect as in the case of a negotiable instrument executed by the Warrantholder or his executors, administrators or other legal representatives or his or their attorney duly appointed by an instrument in form and execution satisfactory to the Warrant Agent; provided that no transfer of any Warrant will be valid unless duly entered on the transfer register referred to in subsection 2.10.1.

     
  2.10.4

A transferee of any Warrant will, after surrender to the Warrant Agent of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant as required by subsection 2.10.3 and upon compliance with all other conditions in respect thereof required by this Indenture or by law, be entitled to be entered on the transfer register and on the Warrant register as the owner of such Warrant, and the Warrant Agent shall issue to the transferee a Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrants transferred.

     
  2.10.5

The Warrant Agent was informed by the Corporation that the Warrants and the Common Shares issuable upon exercise thereof have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state of the United States, and may not be offered, sold or transferred in the United States, or to or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. Person, unless the Warrants and the Common Shares issuable upon exercise thereof have been registered under the U.S. Securities Act and the securities laws of all applicable states of the United States or an exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities law is available and the holder of the Warrant has presented to the Corporation evidence of the availability of the exemption satisfactory to the Corporation.

     
  2.10.6

The Warrant Agent shall retain until the sixth anniversary of the termination of this Indenture all instruments of transfer of Warrants which are lodged for registration, including the details shown thereon of the persons by or through whom they were lodged, all cancelled Warrants and all other related documents.

     
  2.10.7

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Corporation is entitled to require, add or adopt certain conditions precedent to the transfer of Warrants to ensure compliance with all applicable securities legislation and requirements of regulatory authorities, and may direct the Warrant Agent to refuse to recognize any transfer, or enter the name of any transferee, of a Warrant on the transfer register if such transfer would constitute a violation of any applicable securities legislation or requirements of regulatory authorities or require the Corporation to qualify the Common Shares for distribution in any jurisdiction other than the Qualifying Provinces.

  2.10.8

To the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture, the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) in respect of the transfer of securities, as amended from time to time, shall apply mutatis mutandis to the transfer of Warrants.

     
  2.10.9

Warrants bearing the legend set forth in Section 2.16 may not be transferred except pursuant to registration or compliance with exemptions therefrom under the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws, and the Warrant Agent agrees not to register any transfer of the Warrants so legended unless, in addition to the other requirements set forth herein, the Warrantholder has executed and delivered to the Warrant Agent a declaration in the form attached as Schedule "B" hereto (or as the Corporation may otherwise prescribe) to the effect that the transfer is being made pursuant to Rule 904 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act, and in such case the Warrant Certificate issued to the transferee shall not include the legend set forth in Section 2.16.

2.11     Charges for Exchange or Transfer

The transfer or the exchange of any Warrant Certificate or the issue of a new Warrant Certificate pursuant hereto shall be subject to the payment of a reasonable fee levied by the Warrant Agent in addition to the reimbursement of the Warrant Agent or the Corporation for any and all transfer, stamp or similar taxes or other governmental charges required to be paid, and such payment shall be made by the holder requesting a transfer or exchange as a condition precedent to such transfer or exchange.

2.12     Cancellation of Surrendered Warrants

All Warrant Certificates surrendered pursuant to Sections 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 3.1, 3.3, 3.4or 5.1 shall be returned to the Warrant Agent for cancellation and, after the expiry of any period of retention prescribed by law, destroyed by the Warrant Agent.

2.13     Registration of Warrants

The Corporation hereby appoints the Warrant Agent as registrar and transfer agent of the Warrant. The Warrant Agent shall, at all times while any Warrants are outstanding, keep at the Warrant Agency: (i) a register of Warrantholders in which shall be entered in alphabetical order the names and addresses of the holders of Warrants and particulars of the Warrants held by them, and (ii) a register of transfers in which all transfers of Warrants and the date and other particulars of each transfer shall be entered. Branch registers shall also be kept at such other place or places, if any, as the Corporation, with the approval of the Warrant Agent, may designate. Such registers will at all reasonable times be open for inspection by the Corporation and/or any Warrantholder. The Warrant Agent will from time to time when requested in writing to do so by the Corporation or any Warrantholder, upon payment of the Warrant Agent’s reasonable charges, furnish a list of the names and addresses of Warrantholders showing the number of Warrants held by each such Warrantholder.

2.14     CDS and Depository

  2.14.1

The Corporation may elect to issue all or a portion of the Warrants in “book entry form”, such Warrants to be represented by a registered permanent Global Certificate. The Global Certificate shall be held by, or on behalf of, the Depository as custodian of the CDS Participants and shall be registered in the name of “CDS & CO.” or such other name as the Depository may use from time to time as its nominee for the purposes of the Book Based System. For the avoidance of doubt, any Warrants sold in the United States must be in the form of a definitive Certificate and will not be included in the Global Certificate unless ownership is transferred or exchanged to a holder that is outside of the United States.

     
  2.14.2

Any Global Certificate shall bear a legend in substantially the following form, subject to modification as required by the Depository:

     
 

“UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS CLEARING AND DEPOSITORY SERVICES INC. (“CDS”) TO STEM CELL THERAPEUTICS 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 & CO., OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CDS & CO. 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 & CO., 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.”

     
  2.14.3

Subject to Section 2.10, transfers and registrations to ownership in Warrants represented by the Global Certificate will only be made to another nominee of the Depository, and neither the Corporation nor the Warrant Agent shall be under any obligation to deliver to participants of the Depository, nor shall such participants have any right to require the delivery of a Warrant Certificate.

     
  2.14.4

Subject to Sections 2.9 and 2.10, in the event of a transfer or exchange of ownership, in compliance with applicable laws, of any Warrants, that are represented by a definitive Warrant Certificate, the definitive Warrant Certificate may be surrendered at the Depository for cancellation by the Warrant Agent and the registration of new beneficial interest in such Warrants may be represented by the Global Certificate, which shall be increased by the number of Warrants represented by the Warrant Certificate so surrendered.



- 14 -

  2.14.5

Unless the Book Based System is terminated or unless required to do so by applicable law, or unless otherwise requested and agreed to by the Corporation, owners of the beneficial interests in the Warrants represented by the Global Certificate, shall not receive Warrants registered in their names, shall not receive or Warrant Certificates in definitive form and shall not be considered registered owners or registered holders thereof under this Indenture or any supplemental agreement except in circumstances where CDS resigns or is removed from its responsibility and the Warrant Agent is unable or does not wish to locate a qualified successor. Beneficial interests in the Global Certificate will be represented only through the Book Based System. The Corporation and the Warrant Agent shall not have any responsibility or liability for any aspects of the records relating to or payments made by CDS, or its nominee, on account of the beneficial interests in the Warrants. Nothing herein shall prevent the Beneficial Owners from voting such Warrants.

     
  2.14.6

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Corporation nor the Warrant Agent nor any agent thereof shall have any responsibility or liability for:


  (a)

the electronic records maintained by the Depository relating to any ownership interests or any other interests in the Warrants or the depository system maintained by the Depository, or payments made on account of any ownership interest or any other interest of any person in any Warrant represented by an electronic position in the book entry registration system (other than the Depository or its nominee);

     
  (b)

maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the Depository or any Book Entry Only Participant relating to any such interest; or

     
  (c)

any advice or representation made or given by the Depository or those contained herein that relate to the rules and regulations of the Depository or any action to be taken by the Depository on its own direction or at the direction of any Book Entry Only Participant.


  2.14.7

All references herein to actions by, notices given or payments made to Warrantholders shall, where Warrants are held through CDS, refer to actions taken by, or notices given or payments made to, CDS upon instruction from the CDS Participants in accordance with its rules and procedures. For the purposes of any provision hereof requiring or permitting actions with the consent of or at the direction of Warrantholders evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate Warrants outstanding, such direction or consent may be given by holders of Warrants acting through CDS and the CDS Participants owning Warrants evidencing the requisite percentage of the Warrants. The rights of a Warrantholder whose Warrants are held through CDS shall be exercised only through CDS and the CDS Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such holders and CDS and the CDS Participants upon instructions from the CDS Participants. Each of the Warrant Agent and the Corporation may deal with CDS for all purposes (including the making of payments) as the authorized representative of the respective Warrantholder and such dealing with CDS shall constitute satisfaction or performance, as applicable, of their respective obligations hereunder.



- 15 -

  2.14.8

For so long as Warrants are held through CDS, if any notice or other communication is required to be given to Warrantholders, the Warrant Agent and or the Corporation will give such notices and communications to CDS.

     
  2.14.9

If CDS resigns or is removed from its responsibility as depository and the Warrant Agent is unable or does not wish to locate a qualified successor, CDS shall surrender the Global Certificate to the Warrant Agent with instructions for registration of Warrants in the name and in the amount specified by CDS and the Corporation shall issue, and the Warrant Agent shall certify and deliver, the aggregate number of Warrants then outstanding in the form of definitive Warrant Certificates representing such Warrants.

2.15     NCI Letter of Instruction

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set out in this Indenture, all physical Warrant Certificates issued to CDS may be surrendered to the Warrant Agent for an electronic position on the register of Warrantholders to be maintained by the Warrant Agent in accordance with this Indenture. All Warrants maintained in such electronic position will entitle the registered holders thereof to the same benefits as those registered holders who hold Warrants in physical certificated form and this Indenture and the provisions contained herein will apply, mutatis mutandis, to such Warrants held in such electronic position. It is understood and agreed by the parties that, unless the Warrant Agent is otherwise in a position to perform electronic exercises, in every instance where Warrants held in an electronic position through CDS are to be exercised in whole or in part, it shall be sufficient for the Warrant Agent to exercise such Warrants upon receiving either the attached exercise form executed by CDS or a NCI Letter of Instruction in a form agreed upon by the Warrant Agent and CDS, or such other form that they may be agreed to by the Warrant Agent and CDS from time to time.

2.16     Legends

  2.16.1

The Warrant Agent acknowledges and understands that the Private Placement Warrants issued hereunder and the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of a Private Placement Warrant have been issued in Canada pursuant to applicable exemptions from securities laws. The Warrant Agent further understands and acknowledges that upon the original issuance thereof, and until such time as the same is no longer required under applicable requirements of Canadian securities laws, certificates representing the Private Placement Warrants issued hereunder  and all certificates issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, shall be overprinted with the following legend:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “U.S. SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF STEM CELL THERAPEUTICS CORP. AND ITS SUCCESSORS (THE “CORPORATION”) THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO THE CORPORATION, (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS, (C) WITHIN THE UNITED STATES PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY (I) RULE 144A OR (II) RULE 144 THEREUNDER, IF APPLICABLE, AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (D) WITHIN THE UNITED STATES, IN ANOTHER TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS GOVERNING THE OFFER AND SALE OF SECURITIES, AND IN THE CASE OF TRANSFERS PURSUANT TO (C)(II) OR (D) ABOVE, THE HOLDER HEREOF HAS, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISHED TO THE CORPORATION AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OF RECOGNIZED STANDING IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION TO SUCH EFFECT.

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

ARTICLE 3 - EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

3.1

Method of Exercise of Warrants

     
3.1.1

The holder of any Warrant may exercise the right conferred on such holder to acquire Common Shares by surrendering, after the Issue Date and prior to the Expiry Time, to the Warrant Agency, (i) the Warrant Certificate representing such Warrant, with a duly completed and executed Warrant Exercise Form, (ii) together with a certified cheque, money order or bank draft, in lawful money of Canada payable to or to the order of the Corporation at par in the city where the Warrant Agency is located in an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Common Shares subscribed for. In accordance with Section 2.14, if Warrants are exercised through CDS, the payment of such exercise will be done electronically by CDS to the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent will, within five (5) days, send such payment to the Corporation.

     

A Warrant Certificate with the duly completed and executed Warrant Exercise Form referred to in this subsection 3.1.1 shall be deemed to be surrendered only upon personal delivery thereof or, if sent by mail or other means of transmission, upon actual receipt thereof at, in each case, the Warrant Agency, provided that such Warrant Certificate is accompanied by the requisite certified cheque, bank draft or money order in the amount of the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrants represented thereby that are being exercised.

     
3.1.2

Any Warrant Exercise Form referred to in subsection 3.1.1 shall be signed by the Warrantholder and shall specify:



- 18 -

  (a)

the number of Common Shares which the holder wishes to acquire (being not more than those which the holder is entitled to acquire pursuant to the Warrant Certificate(s) surrendered);

     
  (b)

the person or persons in whose name or names such Common Shares are to be issued;

     
  (c)

the address or addresses of such person or persons;

     
  (d)

if an individual, the social insurance number of such person or persons; and

     
  (e)

the number of Common Shares to be issued to each such person if more than one is so specified.


 

If any of the Common Shares subscribed for are to be issued and registered in the name or names of a person or persons other than the Warrantholder, the Warrantholder shall pay to the Corporation or the Warrant Agency on behalf of the Corporation, all applicable transfer or similar taxes and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver certificates evidencing Common Shares unless or until such Warrantholder shall have paid to the Corporation, or the Warrant Agency on behalf of the Corporation, the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid or that no tax is due.

     
  3.1.3

In connection with the exchange of Warrant Certificates and exercise of Warrants and compliance with such other terms and conditions hereof as may be required, the Corporation has appointed the principal offices of the Warrant Agent in Toronto as the Warrant Agency at which Warrant Certificates may be surrendered for exchange, transfer or repurchase or at which Warrants may be exercised and the Warrant Agent has accepted such appointment. The Corporation may from time to time designate alternate or additional places as a Warrant Agency upon notice to and consent of the Warrant Agent of any change of any Warrant Agency. The Corporation shall give notice to Warrantholders of any change of a Warrant Agency.

     
  3.1.4

Subject to and upon compliance with the terms of Article 3, a beneficial holder of Uncertificated Warrants evidenced by a security entitlement in respect of Warrants in the book entry registration system may exercise the right of purchase 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 Warrants in a manner acceptable to the Depository. Forthwith upon receipt by the Depository of such notice, as well as payment for the Exercise Price, the Depository shall deliver to the Warrant Agent an Letter of Instruction confirming its intention to exercise Warrants in a manner acceptable to the Warrant Agent, including by electronic means through the book entry registration system.



- 19 -

  3.1.5

Payment representing the aggregate Exercise Price must be provided to the appropriate office of the Book Entry Only Participant in a manner acceptable to it. A notice in form acceptable to the Book Entry Only Participant and payment 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 and payment to the Depository and for the Depository in turn to deliver notice and payment to the Warrant Agent prior to the Expiry Time. The Depository will initiate the exercise by way of the Letter of Instruction and will forward the aggregate Exercise Price electronically to the Warrant Agent and the Warrant Agent will execute the exercise by issuing to the Depository through the book entry registration system the Common Shares to which the exercising 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 Warrants and/or the Book Entry Only Participant exercising the Warrants on its behalf.

     
  3.1.6

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

     
  3.1.7

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 Warrant holder’s instructions will not give rise to any obligations or liability on the part of the Corporation or Warrant Agent to the Book Entry Only Participant or the Warrantholder.

     
  3.1.8

Any exercise form or other Letter of Instruction referred to in Article 3 shall be signed by the registered Warrantholder, or its executors or administrators or other legal representatives or an attorney of the registered Warrantholder, duly appointed by an instrument in writing satisfactory to the Warrant Agent but such exercise form need not be executed by the Depository.

     
  3.1.9

Any exercise referred to in Section 3.1 shall require that the entire Exercise Price for Common Shares subscribed must be paid at the time of subscription and such Exercise Price and original exercise form or other Letter of Instruction executed by the registered Warrantholder or the Depository must be received by the Warrant Agent prior to the Warrant Expiry Time.

     
  3.1.10

A beneficial owner of Warrants issued in non-certificated form who desires to exercise his or her Warrants must do so by causing a CDS participant to deliver to the Depository on behalf of the entitlement holder, notice of the owner's intention to exercise Warrants in a manner acceptable to the Depository. Forthwith upon receipt by the Depository of such notice, as well as payment for the Exercise Price, the Depository shall deliver to the Warrant Agent confirmation of its intention to exercise Warrants in a manner acceptable to the Warrant Agent, including by electronic means through the book based registration system. An electronic exercise of the Warrants initiated by the CDS participant through the book based registration system shall constitute a representation to both the Company and the Warrant Agent that the beneficial owner at the time of exercise of such Warrants (i) is not in the United States; (ii) is not a U.S. Person and is not exercising such Warrants on behalf of a U.S. Person or a Person in the United States; and (iii) did not execute or deliver the notice of the owner's intention to exercise such Warrants in the United States. If the Participant is not able to make or deliver the foregoing representation by initiating the electronic exercise of the Warrants, then such Warrants shall be removed from the book based registration system and an individually registered Warrant Certificate shall be issued to such beneficial owner or CDS participant and the exercise procedures set forth in Section 3.1 shall be followed. Any expense associated with the preparation and delivery of Warrant Certificates and/or Warrant subscription forms will be for the account of the beneficial owner exercising such Warrants.



- 20 -

  3.1.11

It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that, unless the Warrant Agent is otherwise in a position to perform electronic conversions, in every instance where Warrants held in an electronic position through the Depository are to be converted, in whole or in part, such Warrants being converted shalt not be certificated, and it shall be sufficient for the Warrant Agent to convert such Warrants upon receiving either the attached exercise form executed by the Depository or an NCI Letter of Instruction in a form agreed upon by the Warrant Agent and the Depository, or such other form that they may require from time to time along with a certified cheque, bank draft or money order in lawful money of Canada payable to or to the order of the Company at par in Calgary, Alberta in an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Shares being purchased.


3.2

Effect of Exercise of Warrants

     
3.2.1

Upon the exercise of Warrants pursuant to Section 3.1 and subject to Section 3.3, the Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the Warrants exercised shall be deemed to have been issued and the person or persons to whom such Common Shares are to be issued and registered shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of such Common Shares on the Exercise Date unless the transfer registers of the Corporation shall be closed on such date, in which case the Common Shares subscribed for shall be deemed to have been issued and such person or persons deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of such Common Shares, on the date on which such transfer registers are reopened. It is hereby understood that in order for persons to whom Common Shares are issued to become holders of Common Shares on record on the Exercise Date, beneficial holders must commence the exercise process sufficiently in advance so that the Warrant Agent is in receipt of all items of exercise at least one (1) Business Day prior to such Exercise Date.



- 21 -

  3.2.2

Within five (5) Business Days after the Exercise Date with respect to a Warrant, the Corporation shall (i) cause to be mailed to the person or persons in whose name or names such Warrant is registered or, (ii) if so specified in writing by the holder, cause to be delivered to such person or persons at the Warrant Agency where the Warrant Certificate was surrendered, a certificate or certificates for the appropriate number of Common Shares subscribed for or any other appropriate evidence of the issuance of Common Shares to such person or persons in respect of Common Shares issued under the book entry registration system.


3.3

Partial Exercise of Warrants; Fractions

     
3.3.1

The holder of any Warrants may exercise his right to acquire a number of Common Shares less than the aggregate number which the holder is entitled to acquire pursuant to the surrendered Warrant Certificate(s). In the event of any exercise of a number of Warrants less than the number which the holder is entitled to exercise, the holder of the Warrants upon such exercise shall, in addition, be entitled to receive, without charge therefor, a new Warrant Certificate(s) in respect of the balance of the Warrants represented by the surrendered Warrant Certificate(s) and which were not then exercised.

     
3.3.2

Notwithstanding anything herein contained, including any adjustment provided for in Article 4, neither the Corporation nor the Warrant Agent shall be required, upon the exercise of any Warrants, to issue fractions of Common Shares or to distribute certificates which evidence fractional Common Shares. Any fractional entitlements will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

3.4       Expiration of Warrants

Immediately after the Expiry Time, all rights under any Warrant in respect of which the right of acquisition provided for herein shall not have been exercised shall cease and terminate and each Warrant shall be void and of no further force or effect except to the extent that the Warrantholder has not received in full all monies to which it is entitled pursuant to Article 4 or Article 5 or has not received certificates representing the Common Shares issued upon exercise of Warrants held by it, in which instances the Warrantholders’ rights hereunder shall continue until it has received that to which it is entitled hereunder.

3.5

Accounting and Recording

     
3.5.1

The Warrant Agent shall promptly account to the Corporation with respect to Warrants exercised and forward to the Corporation (or into an account or accounts of the Corporation with the bank or trust Corporation designated by the Corporation for that purpose), all monies received by the Warrant Agent on the subscription for Common Shares through the exercise of Warrants. All such monies and any securities or other instruments, from time to time received by the Warrant Agent shall be received in trust for, and shall be segregated and kept apart by the Warrant Agent, the Warrantholders and the Corporation as their interests may appear.



- 22 -

  3.5.2

The Warrant Agent shall record the particulars of Warrants exercised, which particulars shall include the names and addresses of the persons who become holders of Common Shares on exercise and the Exercise Date, in respect thereof. The Warrant Agent shall provide such particulars in writing to the Corporation within five Business Days of any request by the Corporation therefor.

3.6       Securities Restrictions

Notwithstanding anything herein contained, Common Shares will only be issued pursuant to any Warrant in compliance with the securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction. The certificates representing the Common Shares issued will bear such legend as may, in the opinion of Counsel to the Corporation be necessary in order to avoid a violation of any securities laws of any province or territory in Canada or of the United States or any state thereof and to comply with the requirements of any stock exchange or over the counter market on which the Common Shares are listed or quoted, as the case may be. Certificates representing Common Shares issued upon the exercise of Warrants may bear the legend set forth in Section 2.16. If, at any time, in the opinion of Counsel to the Corporation, such legends are no longer necessary in order to avoid a violation of any such laws, or the holder of any such legended certificate, at the holder’s expense, provides the Corporation 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 Common Shares in a transaction in which such legends are not required, such legended certificate may thereafter be surrendered to the Warrant Agent in exchange for a certificate which does not bear such legend.

3.7

Prohibition on Exercise in the United States or by U.S. Persons; Exception

     
3.7.1

Warrants may not be exercised in the United States or by or on behalf of a U.S. Person unless an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws is available and such exercise is made in accordance with Section 3.7.2;

     
3.7.2

Any holder that seeks to exercise a Warrant shall provide to the Corporation and the Warrant Agent, and the Corporation and the Warrant Agent shall be entitled to act and rely on any one of the following:


  (a)

a written certification that such holder (i) at the time of exercise of the Warrant is not in the United States; (ii) is not a U.S. Person and is not exercising the Warrant for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person; (iii) was not offered to exercise the Warrant and did not execute or deliver the exercise form for the Warrant in the United States; (iv) did not acquire the Warrant while it was in the United States or acting for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person and (v) has in all other respects complied with Regulation S; or

ARTICLE 4 - ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF COMMON SHARES AND EXERCISE PRICE

4.1       Adjustment of Number of Common Shares and Exercise Price

The acquisition rights as they relate to Common Shares, in effect at any date attaching to the Warrants, and the Exercise Price in respect thereof, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

  4.1.1

If and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, the Corporation shall: (i) subdivide, redivide or change its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares; (ii) reduce, combine or consolidate its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares; or (iii) issue Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend (other than the issue of Common Shares to such holders as a Dividend Paid in the Ordinary Course);



- 24 -

 

the Exercise Price in effect on the effective date of such subdivision, redivision, change, reduction, combination, consolidation or on the record date of such stock dividend, as the case may be, shall in the case of the events referred to in (i) or (iii) above be decreased in proportion to the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such subdivision, redivision or stock dividend, or shall, in the case of the events referred to in (ii) above, be increased in proportion to the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such reduction, combination or consolidation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this subsection 4.1.1 shall occur. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to subsection 4.1.1, the number of Common Shares subject to the right of purchase under each Warrant shall be contemporaneously adjusted by multiplying the number of Common Shares theretofore obtainable on the exercise thereof by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the respective Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator shall be the respective Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment;

  4.1.2

If and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common Shares entitling them, for a period expiring not more than forty-five (45) days after such record date, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Current Market Price on such record date, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus a number of Common Shares equal to the number arrived at by dividing the aggregate price of the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered) by such Current Market Price, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable; any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation or any Subsidiary shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation; such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; to the extent that any such rights or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof the Exercise Price shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights or warrants, as the case may be. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this subsection 4.1.2, the number of Common Shares subject to the right of purchase under each Warrant shall be contemporaneously adjusted by multiplying the number of Common Shares theretofore obtainable on the exercise thereof by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the respective Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator shall be the respective Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment;



- 25 -

   
     
  4.1.3

If and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall fix a record date for the payment, issue or distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common Shares of (i) shares of any class, whether of the Corporation or any other corporation (other than Common Shares and other than shares distributed to holders of Common Shares pursuant to their exercise of options to receive dividends in the form of such shares in lieu of Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course on the Common Shares), (ii) rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) for a period expiring not more than forty-five (45) days after such record date at a price per share (or having a conversion or exercise price per share) not less than ninety five percent (95%) of the Current Market Price on such record date), (iii) evidences of its indebtedness or (iv) any property or other assets (excluding Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course) then, in each such case, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Current Market Price less the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the directors, acting reasonably and in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive) of such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences of indebtedness or assets actually distributed, as the case may be, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Current Market Price; and Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation or any Subsidiary shall be deemed not be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation; such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; to the extent that such distribution is not so made, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences of indebtedness or assets actually distributed, as the case may be; in clause (7) of this subsection 4.1.3 the term “Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course” shall include the value of any securities or other property or assets distributed in lieu of cash Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course at the option of shareholders. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this subsection 4.1.3, the number of Common Shares subject to the right of purchase under each Warrant shall be contemporaneously adjusted by multiplying the number of Common Shares theretofore obtainable on the exercise thereof by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the respective Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator shall be the respective Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment;



- 26 -

  4.1.4

If and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, there is a reclassification of the Common Shares or a capital reorganization of the Corporation other than as described in subsection 4.1.1 or a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Corporation with or into any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, or a 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 in which the holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive shares, other securities or property, including cash, any Warrantholder who has not exercised its right of acquisition prior to the effective date of such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger, sale or conveyance, upon the exercise of such right thereafter, shall be entitled to receive and shall accept for the same aggregate consideration, in lieu of the number of Common Shares then sought to be acquired by it, the number of shares or other securities or property of the Corporation or of the body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity resulting from such merger, amalgamation or consolidation, or to which such sale or conveyance may be made, as the case may be, that such Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive on such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger, sale or conveyance, if, on the record date or the effective date thereof, as the case may be, the Warrantholder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares sought to be acquired by it and to which it was entitled to acquire upon the exercise of the Warrants. If determined appropriate by the Warrant Agent to give effect to or to evidence the provisions of this subsection 4.1.4, the Corporation, its successor, or such purchasing body corporate, partnership, trust or other entity, as the case may be, shall, prior to or contemporaneously with any such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, sale or conveyance, enter into an indenture which shall provide, 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 Warrantholders to the end that the provisions set forth in this Indenture shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, with respect to any shares, other securities or property to which a Warrantholder is entitled on the exercise of its acquisition rights thereafter. Any indenture entered into between the Corporation and the Warrant Agent pursuant to the provisions of this subsection 4.1.4 shall be a supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to the provisions of Article 8. Any indenture entered into between the Corporation; any successor to the Corporation or such purchasing body corporate, partnership, trust or other entity and the Warrant Agent shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided in this Section 4.1 and which shall apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations, amalgamations, consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances;



- 27 -

  4.1.5

In any case in which this Section 4.1 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein, the Corporation may defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the holder of any Warrant exercised after such event the additional Common Shares issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event before giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver to such holder an appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional Common Shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment and the right to receive any distributions made on such additional Common Shares declared in favour of holders of record of Common Shares on and after the relevant date of exercise or such later date as such holder would, but for the provisions of this subsection 4.1.5, have become the holder of record of such additional Common Shares pursuant to subsection 4.1.4;

     
  4.1.6

In any case in which subsections 4.1.2 or 4.1.3 require that an adjustment be made to the Exercise Price, no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of the outstanding Warrants receive the rights, options or warrants referred to in subsection 4.1.2 or the shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness, property or assets referred to in subsection 4.1.3, as the case may be, in such kind and number as they would have received if they had been holders of Common Shares on the applicable record date or effective date, as the case may be, by virtue of their outstanding Warrants having then been exercised into Common Shares at the Exercise Price in effect on the applicable record date or effective date, as the case may be. Any such issuance of shares, rights, options, or warrants will be subject to regulatory approval;

     
  4.1.7

The adjustments provided for in this Section 4.1 are cumulative, and shall, in the case of adjustments to the Exercise Price be computed to the nearest whole cent and shall apply to successive subdivisions, redivisions, reductions, combinations, consolidations, distributions, issues or other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this Section 4.1, provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one (1%) percent in the Exercise Price then in effect; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection 4.1.7 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; and

     
  4.1.8

After any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.1, the term “Common Shares” where used in this Indenture shall be interpreted to mean securities of any class or classes which, as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 4.1, the Warrantholder is entitled to receive upon the exercise of his Warrant, and the number of Common Shares indicated by any exercise made pursuant to a Warrant shall be interpreted to mean the number of Common Shares or other property or securities a Warrantholder is entitled to receive, as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 4.1, upon the full exercise of a Warrant.



- 28 -

4.2       Entitlement to Shares on Exercise of Warrant

All shares of any class or other securities which a Warrantholder is at the time in question entitled to receive on the exercise of its Warrant, whether or not as a result of adjustments made pursuant to this Article 4, shall, for the purposes of the interpretation of this Indenture, be deemed to be shares which such Warrantholder is entitled to acquire pursuant to such Warrant.

4.3       No Adjustment for Certain Transactions

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 4, no adjustment shall be made in the acquisition rights attached to the Warrants if the issue of Common Shares is being made pursuant to or in connection with:

  4.3.1

any stock option or stock purchase plan in force from time to time for directors, officers, employees, consultants or other service providers of the Corporation; or

     
  4.3.2

the satisfaction of existing instruments issued at or prior to the date hereof.

4.4       Determination by Corporation’s Auditors

In the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments provided for in this Article 4 such question shall be conclusively determined by the Corporation’s Auditors who shall have access to all necessary records of the Corporation, and such determination shall be binding upon the Corporation, the Warrant Agent, all Warrantholders and all other persons interested therein.

4.5       Proceedings Prior to any Action Requiring Adjustment

As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment in any of the acquisition rights pursuant to any of the Warrants, including the number of Common Shares which are to be received upon the exercise thereof, the Corporation shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of Counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation has unissued and reserved in its authorized capital and may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all the shares (or other securities or property) which the holders of such Warrants are entitled to receive on the full exercise thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof.

4.6       Certificate of Adjustment

The Corporation shall from time to time immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in Article 4, deliver a certificate of the Corporation to the Warrant Agent specifying the nature of the event requiring the same and the amount of the adjustment or readjustment necessitated thereby and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based, which certificate shall be supported by a certificate of the Corporation’s Auditors verifying such calculation.


- 29 -

4.7       Notice of Special Matters

The Corporation covenants with the Warrant Agent that, so long as any Warrant remains outstanding, it will give notice to the Warrant Agent and to the Warrantholders of its intention to fix a record date that is prior to the Expiry Date for the purpose of an event that requires or that may require an adjustment in any of the exercise rights pursuant to any Warrants as provided in this Article 4. Such notice shall specify the particulars of such event and the record date for such event, provided that the Corporation shall only be required to specify in the notice such particulars of the event as shall have been fixed and determined on the date on which the notice is given. The notice shall be given in each case not less than fourteen (14) days prior to such applicable record date.

4.8       No Action After Notice

The Corporation covenants with the Warrant Agent that it will not close its transfer books or take any other corporate action which might deprive the holder of a Warrant of the opportunity to exercise its right of acquisition pursuant thereto during the period of fourteen (14) days after the giving of the certificate or notices set forth in Sections 4.6 and 4.7.

4.9       Other Action

In case the Corporation, after the date hereof, shall take any action affecting the Common Shares other than action described in Section 4.1, which in the reasonable opinion of the directors of the Corporation would materially affect the rights of Warrantholders, the number of Common Shares which may be acquired upon exercise of the Warrants shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time, by action of the directors, acting reasonably, as they may determine to be equitable in the circumstances, provided that no such adjustment will be made unless prior approval of any stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed for trading has been obtained, if required by any such stock exchange.

4.10     Protection of Warrant Agent

Except as provided in Section 9.1, the Warrant Agent shall not:

  4.10.1

On a poll, each Warrantholder present in person or represented by a proxy duly appointed by instrument in writing shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each whole Common Share which it is entitled to acquire pursuant to the Warrant or Warrants then held or represented by it. A proxy need not be a Warrantholder. In the case of joint holders, any one of them present in person or by proxy at the meeting may vote in the absence of the other or others, but in case more than one of them shall be present in person or by proxy, they shall vote together in respect of Warrants of which they are joint registered holders. The chairman of any meeting shall be entitled, both on a show of hands and on a poll, to vote in respect of the Warrants, if any, held or represented by him.

  7.8.2

the issue of voting certificates by any bank, trust company or other depositary satisfactory to the Warrant Agent stating that the Warrant Certificates specified therein have been deposited with it by a named person and will remain on deposit until after the meeting, which voting certificate shall entitle the persons named therein to be present and vote at any such meeting and at any adjournment thereof or to appoint a proxy or proxies to represent them and vote for them at any such meeting and at any adjournment thereof in the same manner and with the same effect as though the persons so named in such voting certificates were the actual bearers of the Warrant Certificates specified therein;

the form of the instrument of proxy and the manner in which the instrument of proxy must be executed; and

     
  7.8.6

generally for the calling of meetings of Warrantholders and the conduct of business thereat.

for any other purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture, including the correction or rectification of any ambiguities, defective or inconsistent provisions, errors, mistakes or omissions herein, provided that in the opinion of the Warrant Agent the rights of the Warrant Agent and of the Warrantholders are in no way prejudiced thereby.

9.1.2

The obligation of the Warrant Agent to commence or continue any act, action or proceeding for the purpose of enforcing any rights of the Warrant Agent or the Warrantholders hereunder shall be conditional upon the Warrantholders furnishing, when required by notice by the Warrant Agent, sufficient funds to commence or to continue such act, action or proceeding and an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Warrant Agent to protect and to hold harmless the Warrant Agent against the costs, charges and expenses and liabilities to be incurred thereby and any loss and damage it may suffer by reason thereof. None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Warrant Agent to expend or to risk its own funds or otherwise to incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers unless indemnified as aforesaid.

     
9.1.3

The Warrant Agent may, before commencing or at any time during the continuance of any such act, action or proceeding, require the Warrantholders, at whose instance it is acting to deposit with the Warrant Agent the Warrants held by them, for which Warrants the Warrant Agent shall issue receipts.

  9.2.4

Proof of the execution of an instrument in writing, including a Warrantholders’ Request, by any 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 it the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution or in any other manner which the Warrant Agent may consider adequate.

The Warrantholders by Extraordinary Resolution shall have power at any time to remove the existing Warrant Agent and to appoint a new Warrant Agent. In the event of the Warrant Agent resigning or being removed as aforesaid or being dissolved, becoming bankrupt, going into liquidation or otherwise becoming incapable of acting hereunder, the Corporation shall forthwith appoint a warrant agent unless a warrant agent has already been appointed by the Warrantholders; failing such appointment by the Corporation, the retiring Warrant Agent or any Warrantholder may apply to a justice of the Superior Court of the Province of Alberta on such notice as such justice may direct, for the appointment of a new warrant agent; but any new warrant agent so appointed by the Corporation or by the Court shall be subject to removal as aforesaid by the Warrantholders.

Any Warrant Certificates certified but not delivered by a predecessor trustee may be certified by the successor trustee in the name of the predecessor or successor warrant agent.


9.8

Conflict of Interest

     
9.8.1

The Warrant Agent represents to the Corporation that at the time of execution and delivery hereof no material conflict of interest exists between its role as a trustee hereunder and its role in any other capacity and agrees that in the event of a material conflict of interest arising hereafter it will, within ninety (90) days after ascertaining that it has such material conflict of interest, either eliminate the same or assign its trust hereunder to a successor trustee approved by the Corporation and meeting the requirements set forth in subsection 9.7.1.

Any such notice shall in no way limit any discretion herein given to the Warrant Agent to determine whether or not the Warrant Agent shall take action with respect to any default.

The 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 Warrant Agent, in its sole judgment, determines that such act might cause it to be in non-compliance with any applicable anti money laundering or anti-terrorist or economic sanctions legislation, regulation or guideline. Further, should the Warrant Agent, in its sole judgment, determine at any time that its acting under this Agreement has resulted in its being in non-compliance with any applicable anti money laundering or antiterrorist legislation, regulation or guideline, then it shall have the right to resign on ten (10) days’ written notice to the Corporation, provided that (i) the Warrant Agent’s written notice shall describe the circumstances of such non-compliance; and (ii) if such circumstances are rectified to the Warrant Agent’s satisfaction within such ten (10) day period, then such resignation shall not be effective.

Any notice so given shall be deemed to have been given on the day on which it has been published in the National Edition of The Globe and Mail or The National Post, as the case may be, and in all of the cities in which such publication was required (or first published in all such cities if more than one publication in any such city is required).

WARRANTS
Exercisable to Acquire
Common Shares
of
STEM CELL THERAPEUTICS CORP.

(Incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta))

THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received, • (the “holder”) is the registered holder of the number of Warrants of Stem Cell Therapeutics Corp. (“SCT”) specified above and, for each whole Warrant held, is thereby entitle to be issued, subject to adjustment and except as otherwise described herein, one fully paid and non-assessable Common Share and subject to the limitation referred to below by surrendering to Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the “Warrant Agent”) at its principal transfer office in Calgary, Alberta or Toronto, Ontario during the exercise period hereinafter referred to (i) a certified cheque, bank draft or money order made payable to SCT in the amount of the Exercise Price as hereinafter determined in respect of each Common Share to be issued, (ii) this Warrant Certificate and (iii) a notice of exercise in the form set forth in Appendix 1 annexed hereto duly completed and executed.

Capitalized terms which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Warrant indenture (which indenture, together with all instruments supplemental or ancillary thereto, is herein referred to as the “Warrant Indenture”) dated March 15, 2013 between SCT and the Warrant Agent.

Surrender of this Warrant Certificate will be deemed to have been effected only on personal delivery thereof to, or, if sent by mail or other means of transmission, on actual receipt thereof by, the Warrant Agent at the office specified above.

This Warrant Certificate evidences Warrants of SCT issued or issuable under the provisions of the Warrant Indenture. Reference is made to the Warrant Indenture for particulars of the rights of the holders of the Warrants and of SCT and of the Warrant Agent in respect thereof and of the terms and conditions upon which the Warrants are issued and held, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Warrant Indenture were herein set forth in full, to all of which the holder, by acceptance hereof, assents. To the extent of any inconsistency between the terms of the Warrant Indenture and the terms of this Warrant Certificate, the terms of the Warrant Indenture shall prevail. SCT will furnish to the holder, on request and upon payment of a reasonable charge for photocopying and postage, a copy of the Warrant Indenture.

The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may be exercised by the holder (including, if applicable, any agent under any power of attorney granted by such holder) at any time until the Expiry Time.


A-3

Except as otherwise expressly provided, all dollar amounts herein are expressed in Canadian dollars.

On and after the date of any exercise of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, the holder will have no rights hereunder except to receive certificates representing the Common Shares thereby issued to him upon delivery of a certified cheque, bank draft or money order payable to SCT in respect of each Common Share to be issued in the amount of $0.40 (the “Exercise Price”), this Warrant Certificate and a duly completed notice of exercise as set out in Appendix 1 hereto to the Warrant Agent at its principal office in Calgary, Alberta or Toronto, Ontario. After the Expiry Time, all rights under any unexercised Warrant evidenced hereby will wholly cease and terminate and this Warrant Certificate will be void.

SCT will not be obligated to issue any fraction of a Common Share on the exercise of any Warrant. To the extent that a holder of Warrants would otherwise have been entitled to receive, on the exercise of Warrants, a fraction of a Common Share, such right may only be exercised in respect of such fraction in connection with another Warrant or Warrants which in the aggregate entitle the holder to receive a whole number of Common Shares. If a Warrantholder is not able to combine Warrants so as to be entitled to acquire a whole number of Common Shares, the number of Common Shares which such Warrantholder is entitled to receive shall be rounded down to the prior whole number, as applicable.

The Warrant Indenture provides for adjustments to the number of Common Shares issuable and to the Exercise Price in certain events set forth therein.

The Warrant Indenture contains provisions making binding on all holders of Warrants outstanding thereunder resolutions passed at meetings of such holders held in accordance with such provisions and instruments in writing signed by holders of a specified majority of all outstanding Warrants.

On presentation at the principal office of the Warrant Agent in Calgary, Alberta or Toronto, Ontario, subject to the provisions of the Warrant Indenture and on compliance with the reasonable requirements of the Warrant Agent, one or more Warrant Certificates may be exchanged at no cost to the holder for one or more Warrant Certificates of different denominations evidencing in the aggregate the same number of Warrants as the Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates being exchanged.

The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may only be transferred, upon compliance with the conditions prescribed in the Warrant Indenture, on the register of transfers to be kept at the principal office of the Warrant Agent in Calgary, Alberta or Toronto, Ontario by the holder or his executors, administrators or other legal representatives or his or their attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and execution satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, and, upon compliance with such requirements and such other reasonable requirements as the Warrant Agent may prescribe, including the completion of a form of transfer as set out in Appendix 2 hereto, such transfer will be duly noted on such register of transfers by the Warrant Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SCT will be entitled, and may direct the Warrant Agent, to refuse to record any transfer of any Warrant on such register if such transfer would constitute a violation of the securities laws of any jurisdiction or require SCT to qualify the Common Shares for distribution in any jurisdiction other than the Qualifying Provinces.


A-4

No Common Shares will be issued pursuant to any exercise of any Warrant if the issue of such security would constitute a violation of the securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

The holding of this Warrant Certificate will not constitute the holder a shareholder of SCT or entitle such holder to any right or interest in respect thereof except as otherwise provided in the Warrant Indenture.

This Warrant Certificate will not be valid for any purpose until it has been certified by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent for the time being under the Warrant Indenture. Time will be of the essence hereof.

THE WARRANTS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WILL BE VOID AND OF NO VALUE UNLESS EXERCISED PRIOR TO 5:00 P.M. (TORONTO TIME) ON OR BEFORE MARCH 15, 2018.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF SCT has caused this Warrant Certificate to be signed by its officer or other individual duly authorized in that behalf as of
