EXERCISE OF SPECIAL WARRANTS
   
4.1 Exercise
 
(1)     Subject to the limitation set forth in subsection 4.1(2), holders of Special Warrants may at any time after: (i) the receipt by the Corporation of all applicable regulatory approvals from AMEX, or (ii) the submission by the Corporation of an application to AMEX to delist the Common Shares from AMEX, and prior to the Expiry Time, exercise the right thereby conferred to be issued Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants by surrendering to the Special Warrant Agent at the principal office in Vancouver, British Columbia of the Special Warrant Agent or to any other person or at any other place designated by Crystallex with the approval of the Special Warrant Agent, during normal business hours on a business day at such place, the Special Warrant Certificate(s) evidencing the number of Special Warrants

being exercised, with a duly completed and executed notice of exercise substantially in the form set out in Appendix 1 to such Special Warrant Certificate(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder may exercise the Special Warrants by delivering to the Special Warrant Agent a facsimile transmission of the Special Warrant Certificate(s) evidencing such Special Warrants together with a duly completed and executed notice of exercise in the form set out in Appendix 1 to such Special Warrant Certificate(s) together with such other documents as may be contemplated by the Special Warrant Certificiate(s) to the Special Warrant Agent provided that the original Special Warrant Certificate(s) and notice of exercise are received by the Special Warrant Agent or other person as may be designated herein within three business days of the date of such facsimile transmission.
 
(2)     Any Special Warrant Certificate with a duly completed and executed notice of exercise referred to in subsection 4.1(1) will be deemed to have been surrendered 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 or one of the other persons at the office or one of the other places specified in subsection 4.1(1), provided however that if exercise is made by facsimile transmission as set out in subsection 4.1(1), the Special Warrant Certificate and executed notice of exercise will be deemed to be surrendered as at the date of the facsimile transmission only in the event the original Special Warrant Certificate and executed notice are received by the Special Warrant Agent or other person as designated therein within three business days of the date of the facsimile transmission.
 
(3)     Any notice of exercise referred to in subsection 4.1(1) must be signed by the Special Warrantholder, or such Special Warrantholder’s 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 Special Warrant Agent, acting reasonably, and, if any Common Shares or Common Share Purchase Warrants thereby issuable are to be issued to a person or persons other than the Special Warrantholder, must specify the name or names and the address or addresses of each such person or persons and the number of Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants to be issued to each such person if more than one is so specified.
 
(4)     The holder of any Special Warrant Certificate who wishes to exercise the Special Warrants evidenced by such Special Warrant Certificate may exercise less than all of such Special Warrants and in the case of any such partial exercise shall be entitled to receive a Special Warrant Certificate, signed and certified in accordance with the provisions of Article 2, evidencing the number of Special Warrants held by the Special Warrantholder which remain unexercised. Such Special Warrant Certificate will be delivered by the Special Warrant Agent to the holder concurrently with the certificates representing the Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants issued on partial exercise of such holder's Special Warrants.
 
(5)     Each person exercising Special Warrants must provide Crystallex with (A) either (i) written certification as to facts that would evidence that such person is exercising such Special Warrants in compliance with an exemption from registration from the U.S. Securities Act or (ii) a written opinion of counsel acceptable to Crystallex to the effect that the Special Warrants and the Common Shares delivered upon exercise thereof have been registered under the U.S. Securities Act or are exempt from registration thereunder, together with (B) written certification as to such other material reflecting that the exercise is exempt from registration as the Corporation may reasonably request.

4.2 Deemed Exercise
 
(1)     If any Special Warrant has not been exercised pursuant to section 4.1 and the Expiry Time has occurred, such Special Warrant will be deemed to have been exercised by the holder thereof (without any further action on the part of such holder or Crystallex) immediately prior to the Expiry Time provided that either: (i) the Corporation is in receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals from AMEX or (ii) the Corporation has submitted an application to AMEX to delist the Common Shares from AMEX (the “AMEX Conditions”). In such event, Crystallex will cause the Special Warrant Agent, within two business days following the Expiry Time, to give notice (such form of notice to be provided by Crystallex) of such deemed exercise to the holders of such Special Warrants. Such notice shall specify that the Special Warrants are deemed to have been exercised automatically in accordance with their terms and will indicate the place or places at which, pursuant to subsection 4.2(2), Special Warrant Certificates may thereafter be surrendered in exchange for certificates representing the Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants issued upon such deemed exercise of Special Warrants.
 
(2)     The holder of any Special Warrant deemed to have been exercised pursuant to subsection 4.2(1) will have no rights thereunder except to receive certificates representing the Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants thereby issued to him upon surrender to the Special Warrant Agent at the principal office in Vancouver, British Columbia of the Special Warrant Agent or to any other person or at any other place designated by Crystallex with the approval of the Special Warrant Agent, during normal business hours on a business day at such place, of the Special Warrant Certificate evidencing such Special Warrant. Any Special Warrant Certificate will be deemed to have been surrendered for such purpose 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 or one of such other persons at such office or one of such other places.
   
4.3 Effect of Exercise or Deemed Exercise
 
(1)     Upon the exercise of any Special Warrant in accordance with section 4.1 or upon the deemed exercise of any Special Warrant in accordance with section 4.2, the Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants thereby issuable will be deemed to have been issued, and the person or persons to whom such Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants are to be issued will be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record thereof, on the Exercise Date or the Deemed Exercise Date, as the case may be, unless the transfer registers for the Common Shares are closed on that date, in which case such Common Shares will be deemed to have been issued and such person or persons will be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record thereof on the date on which such transfer registers are reopened, but such Common Shares will be issued on the basis of the number of Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants to which such person or persons were entitled on the Exercise Date or the Deemed Exercise Date, as the case may be.

(2)     As soon as practicable and in any event not later than, in the case of the exercise of any Special Warrant in accordance with section 4.1, the second business day following the Exercise Date or, in the case of the exercise of any Special Warrant by facsimile transmission in accordance with section 4.1 or the deemed exercise of any Special Warrant in accordance with section 4.2, within two business days after the surrender to the Special Warrant Agent of the original Special Warrant Certificate evidencing such Special Warrant in accordance with subsection 4.1(2) or subsection 4.2(2) as the case may be, Crystallex will cause (i) the Special Warrant Agent to send by mail or other means of transmission to the person or persons in whose name or names the Common Shares thereby and thereunder issued have been issued, at his or their respective addresses, or, if so specified, cause to be delivered to such person or persons at the place where the Special Warrant Certificate evidencing such Special Warrant was surrendered, certificates representing the Common Shares so issued and (ii) the warrant agent under the Warrant Indenture to send by mail or other means of transmission to the person or persons in whose name or names the Common Share Purchase Warrants thereby and thereunder issued have been issued, at his or their respective addresses or, if so specified, cause to be delivered to such person or persons at the place where the Special Warrant Certificate evidencing such Special Warrant was surrendered, certificates representing the Common Share Purchase Warrants.
 
(3)     If any Common Shares or Common Share Purchase Warrants issuable pursuant to any Special Warrant are to be issued to a person or persons other than the Special Warrantholder, the Special Warrantholder must pay to Crystallex or to the Special Warrant Agent on its behalf an amount equal to all exigible transfer taxes or other government charges, and Crystallex will not be required to issue or deliver any certificates representing any such Common Shares or Common Share Purchase Warrants unless or until such amount has been so paid or the Special Warrantholder has established to the satisfaction of Crystallex that such taxes and charges have been paid or that no such taxes or charges are owing.
   
4.4 No Fractional Common Shares

     Crystallex will not, whether pursuant to an adjustment in accordance with section 4.7 or under any other circumstances, be obligated to issue any fraction of a Common Share on the exercise or deemed exercise of Special Warrants. If any fractional interest in a Common Share would, except for the provisions of this section, be deliverable upon the exercise of Special Warrants, Crystallex shall round the aggregate number of Common Shares so deliverable up to the nearest whole number of Common Shares.

4.5 Recording

     The Special Warrant Agent will record particulars of each Special Warrant exercised or deemed to have been exercised which will include the name and address of each person to whom Common Shares and Common Shares Purchase Warrants are thereby issued, the number of Common Shares and Common Shares Purchase Warrants so issued and the Exercise Date or Deemed Exercise Date in respect thereof. Within five business days after each Exercise Date or Deemed Exercise Date, the Special Warrant Agent will provide such particulars in writing to Crystallex, in the case of the Common Shares and, in the case of the Common Share Purchase Warrants, to the warrant agent under the Warrant Indenture.

4.6 Securities Restrictions
 
(1)     The Special Warrants and the Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants issuable upon the exercise of the Special Warrants have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state, and the Special Warrants may not be exercised (or deemed exercised) unless an exemption from registration is available, and Crystallex shall have received either written evidence satisfactory to it upon which it can rely that such exemption is available or an opinion of counsel to such effect in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it.
 
(2)     No Common Shares or Common Share Purchase Warrants will be issued on the exercise or deemed exercise of any Special Warrant, if in the opinion of counsel to Crystallex (delivered to the Special Warrant Agent prior to issue), the issuance of such Common Shares or Common Share Purchase Warrants would constitute a violation of the securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction or require Crystallex to qualify the Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants issuable on exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants for distribution in any jurisdiction other than the Qualifying Jurisdictions. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence,
     
  (a) if the Exercise Date in respect of any Special Warrant occurs before the Expiry Time, the certificates representing the Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants thereby issued will bear the following legend:
   
  UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THE SECURITIES SHALL NOT TRADE THE SECURITIES BEFORE [Insert date which is 4 months and 1 day from date of issue].
   
(b) if the exercise date is in respect of any Special Warrant occurs less than 41 days after the date of issue of the Special Warrants, certificates representing the Common Shares and the Common Share Purchase Warrants will bear the following legend:
   
  THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR TRANSFERRED IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO A U.S. PERSON (AS DEFINED IN REGULATION S UNDER THE 1933 ACT) UNTIL [Insert date which is 41 days from the date of issue], AND THEREAFTER ONLY IN COMPLIANCE WITH AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE 1933 ACT.
   
(c) all Special Warrants and Common Share Purchase Warrants shall bear the following legend:
   
  THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE EXERCISED UNLESS SUCH EXERCISE IS REGISTERED UNDER THE 1933 ACT OR IS MADE PURSUANT TO AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE 1933 ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

 


Back to Contents

(d) certificates for Special Warrants and Common Share Purchase Warrants shall bear such additional legends, such as the following:
   
  NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THEIR EXERCISE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "1933 ACT") OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE 1933 ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR IN COMPLIANCE WITH AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER.
   
(e) certificates for Common Shares shall bear such additional legends, such as the following:
   
  THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “1933 ACT”) OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE 1933 ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR IN COMPLIANCE WITH AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER.

as may, in the opinion of counsel to Crystallex, be necessary or advisable in order to avoid a violation of any securities laws of any province of Canada or of the United States of America or to comply with the requirements of the TSX, the AMEX or any stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed, provided that if, at any time, in the opinion of counsel to Crystallex, such legends are no longer necessary or advisable in order to avoid a violation of any such laws, or the holder of any such legended certificate, at his expense, provides Crystallex with evidence reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Crystallex (which may include an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Crystallex) to the effect that such holder is entitled to sell or otherwise transfer such Common Shares or Common Share Purchase Warrants in a transaction in which such legends are not required, such legended certificate may thereafter be surrendered to Crystallex in exchange for a certificate which does not bear such legends.

4.7 Adjustment Definitions
 
(1)     The rights of the holder of any Special Warrant, including the number of Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants issuable upon the exercise or deemed exercise, as the case may be, of such Special Warrant will be adjusted from time to time in the events and in the manner provided in, and in accordance with sections 4.8, 4.9 and 4.10 and for such purposes:
     
  (a) Adjustment Period means in respect of each Special Warrant, the period commencing on the date hereof and ending at the Expiry Time thereof;

 


Back to Contents

- 18 -

     
  (b) Exchange Rate means the rate at which Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants are issuable upon the exercise of any Special Warrant, which rate, subject to adjustment in accordance with this Indenture, is one Common Share and one half of one Common Share Purchase Warrant for each Special Warrant as of the date hereof; and
     
  (c) Trading Day, with respect to any stock exchange or over-the-counter market, means a day on which shares may be traded through the facilities of such stock exchange or in such over-the-counter market, and, otherwise, means a day on which shares may be traded through the facilities of the principal stock exchange on which the common shares of Crystallex are listed (or, if the such common shares are not listed on any stock exchange, then in the over-the-counter market).
   
4.8 Adjustment of Exchange Rate
 
(1)     The Exchange Rate in effect at any date will be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
     
  (a) If and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, Crystallex shall (i) subdivide or redivide the common shares of Crystallex at any time outstanding (in this Article 4, the “Outstanding Shares”) into a greater number of Outstanding Shares, (ii) consolidate, combine or reduce the Outstanding Shares into a lesser number of common shares of Crystallex, or (iii) issue common shares of Crystallex to all or substantially all of the holders of Outstanding Shares by way of a stock dividend or other distribution, then, in each such event, the Exchange Rate will, on the record date for such event, or if no record date is fixed, the effective date of such event, be adjusted so that it will equal the rate determined by multiplying the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to such date by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the total number of Outstanding Shares on such date before giving effect to such event, and of which the numerator shall be the total number of Outstanding Shares outstanding on such date after giving effect to such event. Such adjustment will be made successively whenever any such event shall occur. Any such issue of common shares of Crystallex by way of a stock dividend shall be deemed to have been made on the record date for such stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the number of Outstanding Shares under paragraphs 4.8(1)(b) and (c).
     
  (b) If and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, Crystallex shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of Outstanding Shares entitling the holders thereof, within a period expiring not more than 45 days after the date of issue thereof, to subscribe for or purchase common shares of Crystallex (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such shares) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) less than 95% of the Current Market Price on the earlier of such record date and the date on which Crystallex announces its intention to make such issuance, then, in each such case, the Exchange Rate will be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it will equal the rate determined by

 


Back to Contents

- 19 -

     
    multiplying the Exchange Rate in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the total number of Outstanding Shares on such record date plus a number of common shares of Crystallex equal to the number arrived at by dividing the aggregate price of the total number of additional common shares of Crystallex so 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 numerator shall be the total number of Outstanding Shares on such record date plus the total number of additional common shares of Crystallex so offered for subscription or purchase (or into or for which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable). Any Outstanding Shares owned by or held for the account of Crystallex or any subsidiary of Crystallex shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment will be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed, provided that if two or more such record dates or record dates referred to in paragraph 4.8(1)(c) are fixed within a period of 25 Trading Days, such adjustment will be made successively as if each of such record dates occurred on the earliest of such record dates. To the extent that any such rights, options or warrants are not so issued or any such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exchange Rate will then be readjusted to the Exchange Rate which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Exchange Rate which would then be in effect based upon the number of common shares of Crystallex (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be.
     
  (c) If and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, Crystallex shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all of the holders of Outstanding Shares of (i) shares of any class other than common shares whether of Crystallex or any other corporation, (ii) rights, options or warrants (other than rights, options or warrants exercisable by the holders thereof within a period expiring not more than 45 days after the date of issue thereof), (iii) evidences of indebtedness, or (iv) cash, securities or other property or assets then, in each such case, the Exchange Rate will be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it will equal the rate determined by multiplying the Exchange Rate in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the total number of Outstanding Shares on such record date multiplied by the Current Market Price on the earlier of such record date and the date on which Crystallex announces its intention to make such distribution, less the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the directors at the time such distribution is authorized) of such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences of indebtedness or cash, securities or other property or assets so distributed, and of which the numerator shall be the total number of Outstanding Shares on such record date multiplied by such Current Market Price. Any Outstanding Shares owned by or held for the account of Crystallex or any subsidiary of Crystallex shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment will be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed, provided that if two or more such record dates or record dates referred to in

 


Back to Contents

- 20 -

paragraph 4.8(1)(b) are fixed within a period of 25 Trading Days, such adjustment will be made successively as if each of such record dates occurred on the earliest of such record dates. To the extent that such distribution is not so made or to the extent that any such rights, options or warrants so distributed are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exchange Rate will then be readjusted to the Exchange Rate which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Exchange Rate which would then be in effect based upon such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences of indebtedness or cash, securities or other property or assets actually distributed or based upon the number or amount of securities or the property or assets actually issued or distributed upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be.
 
(2)     If and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, there is (i) any reclassification of the Outstanding Shares, any change of the common shares of Crystallex into other shares or any other capital reorganization of Crystallex (other than as described in subsection (1)), (ii) any consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, merger or other form of business combination of Crystallex with or into any other corporation resulting in any reclassification of the Outstanding Shares, any change of the common shares of Crystallex into other shares or any other capital reorganization of Crystallex, or (iii) any sale, lease, exchange or transfer of the undertaking or assets of Crystallex as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or entity in which the holders of Outstanding Shares are entitled to receive shares, other securities or other property, then, in each such event, each holder of any Special Warrant which is thereafter exercised will be entitled to receive, and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise, the kind and number or amount of shares or other securities or property which such holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such event if, on the effective date thereof, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise. If necessary as a result of any such event, appropriate adjustments will be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this section with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of Special Warrants to the end that the provisions set forth in this section will thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be possible, in the relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise or deemed exercise of any Special Warrant. Any such adjustments will be made by and set forth in an indenture supplemental hereto approved by the directors of Crystallex and by the Special Warrant Agent and shall for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.
   
4.9 Adjustment of Exercise Price
 
(1)     The Exercise Price in effect at any date will be subject to adjustment from time to time if and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, Crystallex shall (i) subdivide or redivide the outstanding common shares into a greater number of common shares, (ii) consolidate, combine or reduce the outstanding common shares into a lesser number of common shares, or (iii) issue common shares to all or substantially all of the holders of common shares by way of a stock dividend or other distribution. In any such event, the Exercise Price will,

 


Back to Contents

- 21 -

on the effective date of or record date for such event, be adjusted so that it will equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of common shares outstanding on such date before giving effect to such event and the denominator of which shall be the total number of common shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such event. Such adjustment will be made successively whenever any such event shall occur. Any such issue of common shares by way of a stock dividend shall be deemed to have been made on the record date for such stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding common shares.
 
(2)     If and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, Crystallex shall fix a record date for the issue of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of common shares entitling the holders thereof, within a period expiring not more than 45 days after the date of the issue thereof, to subscribe for or purchase common shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for common shares) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) less than 95% of the Current Market Price on the earlier of such record date and the date on which Crystallex announces its intention to make such issuance, then, in each such case, the Exercise Price will be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it will 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 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 so 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 so offered for subscription or purchase (or into or for which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable). If by the terms of such rights, options or warrants, there is more than one purchase, conversion or exchange price per common share, the aggregate price of the total number of additional common shares offered for subscription or purchase, or the additional conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered, shall be calculated for the purposes of the adjustment on the basis of the lowest purchase, conversion or exchange price per common share, as the case may be. Any common shares owned by or held for the account of Crystallex or any affiliate or any subsidiary of Crystallex shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment will be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed, provided that if two or more such record dates or record dates are fixed within a period of 25 Trading Days, such adjustment will be made successively as if each of such record dates occurred on the earliest of such record dates. To the extent that any such rights, options or warrants are not so issued or any such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price will then 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 on the number of common shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for common shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be.
 
(3)     If and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, Crystallex shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all of the holders of common shares of:

 


Back to Contents

- 22 -

     
  (a) shares of any class other than common shares whether of Crystallex or any other corporation;
     
  (b) rights, options or warrants (other than rights, options or warrants exercisable by the holders thereof within a period expiring not more than 45 days after the date of issue thereof);
     
  (c) evidences of indebtedness; or
     
  (d) cash, securities or other property or assets;

then, in each such case, the Exercise Price will be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it will equal the rate 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 the Current Market Price on the earlier of such record date and the date on which Crystallex announces its intention to make such distribution, less the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the directors at the time such distribution is authorized) of such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences of indebtedness or cash, securities or other property or assets so distributed, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of common shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Current Market Price. Any common shares owned by or held for the account of Crystallex or any subsidiary of Crystallex shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of such computation. Such adjustment will be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed, provided that if two or more such record dates or record dates are fixed within a period of 25 Trading Days, such adjustment will be made successively as if each of such record dates occurred on the earliest of such record dates. To the extent that such distribution is not so made or to the extent that any such rights, options or warrants so distributed are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price will then 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 cash, securities or other property or assets actually distributed or based upon the number or amount of securities or the property or assets actually issued or distributed upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be.

4.10 Adjustment Rules
 
(1)     In any case in which this Article shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for or effective date of an event referred to herein, Crystallex may defer, until the occurrence and consummation of such event, issuing to the holder of any Special Warrant exercised or deemed to have been exercised after such record date or effective date and before the occurrence and consummation of such event the additional Common Shares, Common Share Purchase Warrants or other securities or property issuable upon such exercise or deemed exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event, provided, however, that Crystallex will deliver to such holder, as soon as reasonably practicable after such record date, an appropriate instrument evidencing such holder's right to receive such additional Common Shares, Common Share Purchase Warrants or other securities or property upon the occurrence and consummation of such event and the right to receive any dividend or other distribution in respect of such additional Common Shares, Common Share Purchase

Warrants or other securities or property declared in favour of the holders of record of Outstanding Shares or of such other securities or property on or after the Exercise Date or the Deemed Exercise Date, as the case may be, or such later date as such holder would, but for the provisions of this subsection, have become the holder of record of such additional Common Shares, Common Share Purchase Warrants or of such other securities or property pursuant to subsection 4.8(2).
 
(2)     All shares of any class or other securities or property which a Special Warrantholder is at the time in question entitled to receive on the full exercise of his Special Warrant, whether or not as a result of adjustments made pursuant to section 4.8 shall, for the purposes of the interpretation of this Indenture, be deemed to be securities which such Special Warrantholder is entitled to subscribe for pursuant to the exercise of such Special Warrant.
 
(3)     If Crystallex shall set a record date to determine the holders of the securities for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or distribution or any subscription or exercise rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to such securityholders of any such dividend, distribution or subscription or exercise rights, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution or subscription or exercise rights, then no adjustment in the number of common shares obtainable upon exercise of any Special Warrant or Common Share Purchase Warrant shall be required by reason of the setting of such record date.
 
(4)     The adjustments provided for in this Article 4 are cumulative, shall, in the case of any adjustment to the Exchange Rate or the Exercise Price, be computed to the nearest one one-hundredth of a common share or nearest cent, respectively, and will apply (without duplication) to successive subdivisions, consolidations, distributions, issuances or other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this Article, provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this section, no adjustment of the Exchange Rate or the Exercise Price will be required (i) unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Exchange Rate or the Exercise Price then in effect (provided, however, that any adjustment which by reason of this subsection is not required to be made will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment), or (ii) in respect of any Common Shares issuable or issued pursuant to any stock option or any stock option or stock purchase plan of Crystallex or of subsidiaries of Crystallex.If any question arises with respect to the adjustments provided in this section, such question shall be conclusively determined by Crystallex's auditors or, if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such firm of chartered accountants as is appointed by Crystallex and acceptable to the Special Warrant Agent. Such accountants shall have access to all necessary records of Crystallex and such determination shall be binding upon Crystallex, the Special Warrant Agent and the Special Warrantholders.
 
(5)     If and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, Crystallex shall take any action affecting or relating to the Common Shares, other than any action described in this section, which in the opinion of the directors would adversely affect the rights of any holders of Warrants, the Exchange Rate and/or the Exercise Price will be adjusted by the directors in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the directors, may in their sole discretion determine to be equitable in the circumstances to such holders.

(6)     After any adjustment pursuant to section 4.8, the terms “Common Share” and “Common Share Purchase Warrant” 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 section 4.8, a Special Warrantholder is entitled to receive upon the exercise or deemed exercise of his Special Warrants, and the number of Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants indicated in any exercise or deemed exercise made pursuant to a Special Warrant shall be interpreted to include the number of Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants and other property or securities that a Special Warrantholder is entitled to receive as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to section 4.8, upon the exercise or deemed exercise of a Special Warrant
 
(7)     As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment in any of the rights under the Special Warrants, Crystallex will take any action which may, in the opinion of counsel to Crystallex, be necessary in order that Crystallex, or any successor to Crystallex or successor to the undertaking or assets of Crystallex, will be obligated to and may validly and legally issue all the Common Shares, Common Share Purchase Warrants or other securities or property which the holders of Special Warrants would be entitled to receive thereafter on the exercise or deemed exercise thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof.

Such notice need only set forth such particulars as have been determined at the date such notice is given. If any adjustment for which such notice is given is not then determinable, promptly after such adjustment is determinable Crystallex will:

(a) file with the Special Warrant Agent a certificate of Crystallex showing the computation of such adjustment; and
   
(b) give notice to the Special Warrantholders of such adjustment.

Where a notice pursuant to this subsection has been given, the Special Warrant Agent shall be entitled to act and rely on any adjustment calculation of Crystallex or Crystallex's auditors.

(9)     Subject to subsection 9.2(1), the Special Warrant Agent shall not:

SPECIAL WARRANTS
Exercisable to Acquire
Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants
of
Crystallex International Corporation

(Continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act)

THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received,                                                                                                                     (the “holder”) is the registered holder of the number of Special Warrants specified above (“Special Warrants”) of Crystallex International Corporation (“Crystallex”) and is thereby entitled, without payment of any additional consideration, to be issued common shares of Crystallex (“Common Shares”) and warrants to purchase common shares (“Common Share Purchase Warrants”), on the basis of one Common Share and one-half of one Common Share Purchase Warrant, for each such Special Warrant, subject to the limitation referred to below, by surrendering to CIBC Mellon Trust Company (the “Special Warrant Agent”) at 1600 – 1066 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 3X1(or by facsimile transmission to the Special Warrant Agent at (604) 688-4301 with original documents to the Special Warrant Agent within three business days thereafter) during the exercise period hereinafter referred to, this Special Warrant Certificate, with a notice of exercise in the form set forth in Appendix 1 annexed hereto duly completed and executed.

Surrender of this Special 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 Special Warrant Agent at the office specified above, provided however that this Special Warrant Certificate will be deemed to have been surrendered on the date of the facsimile transmission if this Special Warrant Certificate is exercised by facsimile transmission and this original Special Warrant Certificate and the executed notice are received within three business days of the date of the facsimile transmission.

This Special Warrant Certificate evidences Special Warrants of Crystallex issued or issuable under the provisions of a Special Warrant Indenture (which indenture, together with all instruments supplemental or ancillary thereto, is herein referred to as the “Special Warrant Indenture”) dated as of June 20, 2003 between Crystallex and the Special Warrant Agent, as agent. Reference is made to the Special Warrant Indenture for particulars of the rights of the holders of the Special Warrants and of Crystallex and of the Special Warrant Agent in respect thereof and of the terms and conditions upon which the Special Warrants are issued and held, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Special Warrant Indenture were herein set forth, to all of which the holder, by acceptance hereof, assents. To the extent of any inconsistency between the terms of the Special Warrant Indenture and the terms of this Special Warrant Certificate, the terms of the Special Warrant Indenture shall prevail. Crystallex will furnish to the holder, on request and upon payment of a reasonable charge for photocopying and postage, a copy of the Special Warrant Indenture.

The Special Warrants evidenced by this Special Warrant Certificate may be exercised by the holder until 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) (the “Expiry Time”) on the earlier of: (a) the third business day after the date of the receipt issued by the Securities Commissions for the Final Prospectus (as defined in the Special Warrant Indenture) (the “Qualification Date”), and (b) October 21, 2003, provided that if such Special Warrants have not been exercised by the Expiry Time, such Special Warrants, subject to the limitation referred to below, will be deemed to have been exercised by the holder (without any further action on the part of the holder or Crystallex) immediately prior to the Expiry Time. Crystallex will, in the event of a deemed exercise, by the second business day following the day on which the Expiry Time occurs, cause the Special Warrant Agent to give notice thereof to the holders of Special Warrants. Special Warrant Certificates may thereafter be surrendered in exchange for certificates representing Common Shares and certificates representing Common Share Purchase Warrants to which the holder is entitled. Subject to the limitation referred to below, the holder may exercise less than all of the Special Warrants evidenced by this Special Warrant Certificate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Warrants may not be exercised prior to either: (i) the receipt by the Corporation of all applicable regulatory approvals from the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”), or (ii) the submission by the Corporation of an application to AMEX to delist the Common Shares from AMEX. If the Corporation does not receive all applicable regulatory approvals from AMEX by 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on August 1, 2003 in accordance with subsection 2.2(1) of the Special Warrant Indenture, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Special Warrant Indenture, the Corporation shall, within two business days, either (i) pay to the Purchaser, or to whom the Purchaser may direct, by certified cheque, money order or wire transfer an amount equal to the product of the purchase price of the Special Warrants and the number of Special Warrants purchased plus interest thereon from and including June 20, 2003 at the prime bank rate of the Bank of Canada on August 1, 2003 plus two percent (the “Interest Rate”) or (ii) deliver to the Purchaser, or to whom the Purchaser may direct, an unsecured promissory note of the Corporation, which shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Interest Rate, payable quarterly not in arrears with interest accruing from and including June 20, 2003, and which shall have a maturity date of August 1, 2004. Concurrently with such payment or delivery of such promissory note, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Corporation the certificates evidencing the Special Warrants held by the Purchaser.

On and after the date of any exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants evidenced by this Special Warrant Certificate, the holder will have no rights hereunder except to be sent within two business days of such exercise or deemed exercise certificates representing the Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants thereby issued to him upon surrender of this Special Warrant Certificate to the Special Warrant Agent at its principal office in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Crystallex will not be obligated to issue any fraction of a Common Share on the exercise or deemed exercise of any Special Warrant. If any fractional interest in a Common Share would, except for the provisions of this section, be deliverable upon the exercise of Warrants, Crystallex shall round the aggregate number of Common Shares so deliverable up to the nearest whole number of Common Shares, as the case may be.

No Common Share or Common Share Purchase Warrant will be issued pursuant to any Special Warrant if the issuance of such security would constitute a violation of the securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction or require Crystallex to qualify or register such Common Share or Common Share Purchase Warrant in any jurisdiction other than the Qualifying Jurisdictions.

The Special Warrant Indenture provides for adjustments to the number of Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants to be issued upon the exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants in certain events set forth therein.

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

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

The Special Warrants evidenced by this Special Warrant Certificate may only be transferred upon compliance with the conditions prescribed in the Special Warrant Indenture, on the register of transfers to be kept at the principal office of the Special Warrant Agent in Vancouver, British Columbia, 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 Special Warrant Agent, and, upon compliance with such requirements and such other reasonable requirements as the Special Warrant Agent may prescribe, such transfer will be duly notified on such register of transfers by the Special Warrant Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Crystallex will be entitled, and may direct the Special Warrant Agent, to refuse to record any transfer of any Special Warrant on such register if such transfer would constitute a violation of the securities laws of any jurisdiction or require Crystallex to qualify the Common Shares or Common Share Purchase Warrants for distribution in any jurisdiction other than the Qualifying Jurisdictions.

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

The Common Share Purchase Warrants will be issued and created pursuant to, and will be governed by, a common share purchase warrant indenture dated as of June 20, 2003 between Crystallex and CIBC Mellon Trust Company.

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

In the event that the Special Warrants are exercised prior to the Expiry Time, the Special Warrants and the Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants issuable upon the exercise of the Special Warrants may be subject to statutory resale restrictions under the securities legislation of certain provinces of Canada and such restrictions as may be imposed under US Securities Act of 1933 and the applicable regulations of the SEC. In addition, until October 21, 2003, statutory restrictions may apply on the resale of such Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants that are acquired prior to the issuance of a receipt for the Final Prospectus by the Ontario and British Columbia securities commissions. Purchasers are advised to consult their own legal advisors in this regard.
