Subject to Section 2.2(b), each Warrant issued hereunder will entitle the holder thereof, upon: (i) the exercise thereof on or after the forty-first day following the date of this Agreement and prior to the Expiry Time; and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price in accordance with the provisions of Article 4, to be issued one Common Share.

- 8 -

(b)

Regardless of any adjustments pursuant to Article 5 of this Agreement, Warrant Certificates representing Warrants will continue to be in the form set forth in Schedule A to this Agreement and will continue to express the number of Common Shares that may be acquired upon the exercise of the Warrants evidenced thereby prior to any such adjustments but will, nonetheless, entitle the holder to acquire the number of Common Shares resulting from all adjustments made pursuant to Article 5.

(c)

The Warrant Certificates may be engraved, lithographed or printed (the expression “printed” including for purposes hereof both original typewritten material as well as mimeographed, mechanically, photographically, photostatically or electronically reproduced, typewritten or other written material), or partly in one form and partly in another, as the Corporation, with the approval of the Agent, may determine.

(b)

The certification by the Agent on any Warrant Certificate issued hereunder will not be construed as a representation or warranty by the Agent as to the validity of this Agreement (except in respect of its due authorization, execution and delivery by the Agent) or such Warrant Certificate (except the due certification thereof) or as to performance by the Corporation of its obligations hereunder, and the Agent will in no respect be liable or answerable for the use made of any Warrant Certificate or of the consideration therefore, except as otherwise specified herein.

The Agent will have no obligation to ensure or verify compliance with any applicable Laws on the issue, exercise or transfer of any Warrants or any Common Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of Warrants.

The Agent may assume for the purposes of this Agreement that the address on the register of Warrantholders of any Warrantholder is the Warrantholder’s actual address and is also determinative of the Warrantholder’s residency and that the address of any transferee to whom any Warrants or Common Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of Warrants are to be registered, as shown on the transfer document, is the transferee’s actual address and is also determinative of the transferee’s residency.

2.8	Issue in Substitution for Lost Certificates. Etc.

(a)

If any Warrant Certificate becomes mutilated or is lost, destroyed or stolen, the Corporation, subject to applicable Law and 2.8(b), will issue, and thereupon the Agent will certify and deliver, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and denomination as the one mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen in exchange for and in place of and on surrender and cancellation of such mutilated Warrant Certificate or in lieu of and in substitution for such lost, destroyed or stolen Warrant Certificate and the substituted Warrant Certificate will be in a form approved by the Agent and will entitle the holder to the benefits hereof and rank pari passu in accordance with its terms with all other Warrants issued hereunder.

(b)	The applicant for the issue of a new Warrant Certificate pursuant to this Section 2.8 will bear the reasonable cost of the issue thereof and in case of loss, destruction or theft will, as a condition precedent to the issue thereof:

(i)	furnish to the Corporation and to the Agent such evidence of ownership and of the loss, destruction or theft of the Warrant Certificate to be replaced as is satisfactory to the Corporation and to the Agent in their discretion, acting reasonably;

- 10 -

(ii)	if so required by the Corporation or the Agent, furnish an indemnity and surety bond in amount and form satisfactory to the Corporation and to the Agent in their respective discretion, acting reasonably; and

The Corporation may, at any time and from time to time, purchase Warrants by invitation for tender, by private contract, on any stock exchange, in the open market or otherwise (including a purchase through an investment dealer or firm holding membership on a stock exchange) on such terms as the Corporation may determine. All Warrants purchased pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.9 will forthwith be delivered to and cancelled by the Agent and will not be reissued. If required by the Corporation, the Agent will furnish the Corporation with a certificate as to such cancellation.

2.10	Cancellation of Surrendered Warrants

All Warrant Certificates surrendered to the Agent pursuant to Sections 2.8, 3.1, 3.2, or 4.1 will be cancelled by the Agent and, if requested by the Corporation in writing, the Agent will furnish to the Corporation a cancellation certificate identifying each Warrant Certificate so cancelled, the number of Warrants evidenced thereby and the number of Common Shares, if any, issued pursuant to such Warrants.

2.11	Warrantholder not a Shareholder

Nothing in this Agreement or in the holding of a Warrant evidenced by a Warrant Certificate, or otherwise, is intended or will be construed as conferring on any Warrantholder any right or interest whatsoever as a shareholder of the Corporation, including to any right to vote at, to receive notice of, or to attend any meeting of shareholders or any other proceeding of the Corporation or any right to receive any dividend or other distribution to which the shareholders of the Corporation may be entitled.

(f)

Neither the Corporation nor the Agent will be bound to take notice of or see to the execution of any trust, whether express, implied or constructive, in respect of any Warrant, and may transfer any Warrant on the written direction of the Person registered as the holder thereof and delivered in accordance with Section 3.1(c), whether named as trustee or otherwise, as though that Person were the beneficial owner thereof.

(a)

One or more Warrant Certificates may, on compliance by the holder with the reasonable requirements of the Agent, be exchanged for one or more Warrant Certificates of different denomination evidencing in the aggregate the same number of Warrants as the Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates being exchanged.

(b)	Warrant Certificates may be exchanged only at the principal corporate trust office in Toronto, Ontario of the Agent or at any other place designated by the Corporation with the approval of the Agent.

(c)	Any Warrant Certificate tendered for exchange will be surrendered to the Agent or its agent and cancelled.

(d)	The Corporation will sign and the Agent will countersign all Warrant Certificates necessary to carry out exchanges pursuant to this Section 3.2 and the Agent will certify such Warrant Certificates.

3.3	Reasonable Charges for Transfer or Exchange

A presenter of a Warrant Certificate pursuant to this Agreement will be charged the reasonable costs of the Agent for the transfer of any Warrant or the exchange of any Warrant Certificate.

3.4	Ownership of Warrants

(b)

The registered holder of any Warrant will be entitled to the rights evidenced thereby free from all equities and rights of set-off or counterclaim between the Corporation and the original or any intermediate holder thereof and all Persons may act accordingly, and the delivery to any such registered holder of the Common Shares issued on exercise of such Warrant will be a good discharge to the Corporation and the Agent therefore and, unless the Corporation or the Agent are required by statute or by an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, neither the Corporation nor the Agent will be bound to inquire into the title of any such registered holder.

- 13 -

3.5	Assumption by Transferee

Upon becoming a Warrantholder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the transferee thereof will be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed to be bound by this Agreement. Upon the registration by the Agent of such transferee as the holder of a Warrant, the transferor thereof will cease to have any further rights under this Agreement with respect to such Warrant or any Common Shares to be issued on exercise.

ARTICLE 4
EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

4.1

Exercise

(a)

Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.1(b) and Section 4.5, Warrantholders may at any time and from time to time on or after the forty-first day following the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time exercise the Warrants, in whole or in part, by surrendering to the Agent at its principal corporate trust office in Toronto, Ontario or to any other Person or at any other place designated by the Corporation with the approval of the Agent, during normal business hours on a business day at such place:

(i)	a certified cheque, bank draft or money order payable in United States dollars at par (without deduction for bank service charges or otherwise) to the Corporation, in the amount of the Exercise Price in respect of each Common Share to be issued;

(ii)	the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrants; and

(iii)

a duly completed and executed notice of exercise substantially in the form set out in Appendix 1 to such Warrant Certificate.

(b)

Any certified cheque, money order or bank draft, Warrant Certificate or notice of exercise referred to in Section 4.1(a) 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 Agent or one of the other Persons at the office or one of the other places specified in Section 4.1(a).

(c)

Any notice of exercise referred to in Section 4.1(a) must be signed by the Warrantholder, or such 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 Agent, acting reasonably, and, if any Common Shares thereby issuable are to be issued to a Person or Persons other than the Warrantholder such issuance must be in accordance with applicable Laws (as determined by the Corporation) and must specify the name and the address of each such Person and the number of Common Shares to be issued to each such Person if more than one is so specified.

- 14 -

(d)

The holder of any Warrant Certificate who wishes to exercise the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificate may exercise less than all of such Warrants and in the case of any such partial exercise will be entitled to receive, without charge therefore, a Warrant Certificate, in form, signed and certified in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 evidencing the number of Warrants held by the Warrantholder which remain unexercised. Such Warrant Certificate will be delivered by the Agent to the holder concurrently with the certificates representing the Common Shares issued on partial exercise of such holder’s Warrants.

4.2	Effect of Exercise

(a)

Upon the exercise of any Warrant in accordance with Section 4.1, the Common Shares thereby issuable will be deemed to have been issued, and the Person to whom such Common Shares are to be issued will be deemed to have become the holder of record thereof on the Exercise Date, 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 will be deemed to have become the holder 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 to which such Person was entitled on the Exercise Date.

(b)

As soon as practicable and in any event not later than the fifth business day on which the transfer registers for the Common Shares have been open after such exercise, the Corporation will cause the Agent to mail to the Person in whose name the Common Shares thereby issued have been issued, at its address, or, if so specified, cause to be delivered to such Person at the place where the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant was surrendered, a certificate representing the Common Shares so issued.

(c)

If any Common Shares issuable pursuant to any Warrant are to be issued to a Person other than the Warrantholder, the Warrantholder must pay to the Corporation or to the Agent on its behalf an amount equal to all eligible transfer taxes or other government charges, and the Corporation will not be required to issue or deliver any certificates representing any such Common Shares unless or until such amount has been so paid or the Warrantholder has established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such taxes and charges have been paid or that no such taxes or charges are owing.

4.3	No Fractional Common Shares

The Corporation will not be required to issue fractional Common Shares upon the exercise of Warrants. 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, the Corporation will, in lieu of delivering the fractional Common Share, satisfy the right to receive such fractional interest by payment to the Warrantholder of an amount in cash (computed in the case of a fraction of a cent, to the next lower cent) equal to the value of the right to acquire such fractional interest on the basis of the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on the date of exercise.

- 15 -

4.4

Recording

The Agent will record particulars of each Warrant exercised, which shall include the name and address of each Person to whom Common Shares are thereby issued, the number of Common Shares so issued and the Exercise Date in respect thereof. Within five business days after each Exercise Date the Agent will provide such particulars in writing to the Corporation.

4.5	Securities Law Restrictions

(a)

No Common Shares will be issued on exercise of any Warrant, if in the opinion of Counsel to the Corporation (delivered to the Agent prior to issue), the issuance of such Common Shares would constitute a violation of the securities Laws of any applicable jurisdiction or require the Corporation to register or qualify the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants for distribution in, or make any notice or other filing in, any jurisdiction other than the Qualifying Jurisdictions.

(b)	Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Warrants may not be exercised at any time in the United States or by or on behalf of a U.S. Person.

ARTICLE 5

ADJUSTMENTS

5.1	Adjustment of Exercise Price

(a)	The Exercise Price in effect at any date will be subject to adjustment from time to time in the events and in the manner provided in this Article 5.

(b)	If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time, the Corporation:

(i)	issues Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares as a stock dividend or similar distribution;

(ii)

makes a distribution on its outstanding Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares payable in Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares (other than an issue of Common Shares to holders of Common Shares pursuant to a right granted to such holders to receive such Common Shares in lieu of Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course);

(iii)

subdivides its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares; or

- 16 -

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

(any of such events in Sections 5.1(b)(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) being called a “Common Share Reorganization”), then the Exercise Price then in effect will be adjusted effective immediately on the effective date or record date for the happening of a Common Share Reorganization, as the case may be, at which the holders of Common Shares are determined for the purpose of the Common Share Reorganization, so that it will equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such effective date or record date, as the case may be, by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such effective date or record date, as the case may be, before giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization and the denominator of which will be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization (including, in the case where securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares are distributed, the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had all such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares on such effective date or record date).

(c)

If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time, the Corporation fixes a record date for the issue of rights, options or warrants to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares under which such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue (the “Rights Period”), to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares at a price per share to the holder (or at an exchange price or conversion price per share during the Rights Period to the holder in the case of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares) which is less than 95% of the Current Market Price for the Common Shares on such record date (any of such events being called a “Rights Offering”), then the Exercise Price will be adjusted effective immediately after the end of the Rights Period so that it will equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the end of the Rights Period by a fraction:

(i)	the numerator of which will be the aggregate of

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

(B)

a number determined by dividing (A) either (x) the product of the number of Common Shares issued or subscribed for during the Rights Period upon the exercise of the rights, warrants or options under the Rights Offering and the price at which such Common Shares are offered for such issue or subscription, or, as the case may be, (y) the product of the exchange price or conversion price of such securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares and the number of Common Shares for or into which the securities so offered pursuant to the Rights Offering could have been exchanged or converted during the Rights Period (whether or not they were then exchangeable or convertible), by (B) the Current Market Price of the Common Shares as of the record date for the commencement of the Rights Offering, and

- 17 -

(ii)

the denominator of which will be the number of Common Shares outstanding, or the number of Common Shares which would be outstanding if all the exchangeable or convertible securities were exchanged for or converted into Common Shares during the Rights Period (whether or not they were then exchangeable or convertible), after giving effect to the Rights Offering and including the number of Common Shares actually issued or subscribed for during the Rights Period upon exercise of the rights, warrants or options under the Rights Offering.

To the extent that any such rights, options or warrants are not so exercised on or before the expiry thereof, the Exercise Price will be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based on the number of Common Shares (or the securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) actually delivered on the exercise of such rights, options or warrants.

(d)

If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time, the Corporation fixes a record date for the issue or the distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares of (A) securities of the Corporation, including rights, options or warrants to acquire securities of the Corporation or any of its property or assets and including cash and evidences of indebtedness; or (B) any property or other assets, including cash and evidences of indebtedness, and if such issuance or distribution does not constitute a Dividend Paid in the Ordinary Course, a Common Share Reorganization, a Rights Offering (any of such non-excluded events being called a “Special Distribution”), then the Exercise Price will be adjusted effective 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:

(i)	the numerator of which will be:

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

(B)

the Fair Market Value, as determined in good faith by action by the board of directors of the Corporation (whose determination, subject to the consent of a Recognized Stock Exchange, if required, will be conclusive), to the holders of Common Shares of such securities or property or other assets so issued or distributed in the Special Distribution; and

(ii)	the denominator of which will be the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date.

- 18 -

To the extent that any Special Distribution is not so made, the Exercise Price will be readjusted effective immediately to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon such securities or property or other assets as actually distributed.

(e)

If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time, there is a reclassification of the Common Shares at any time outstanding or change of the Common Shares into other shares or into other securities or other capital reorganization (other than a Common Share Reorganization), or a consolidation, arrangement, amalgamation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or other entity (other than an amalgamation with one or more of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, or a transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or other entity in which the holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive shares, other securities or other property (any of such events being called a “Capital Reorganization”), any Warrantholder who exercises the right to acquire Common Shares pursuant to Warrants then held after the effective date of such Capital Reorganization will be entitled to receive, and will accept for the same aggregate consideration in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which such Holder was previously entitled upon such conversion, the aggregate number of shares, other securities or other property that such holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which such holder was previously entitled upon exercise of its Warrants. The Corporation will take all steps necessary to ensure that, on a Capital Reorganization, the Warrantholders will receive the aggregate number of shares, other securities or other property to which they are entitled as a result of the Capital Reorganization. Appropriate adjustments will be made as a result of any such Capital Reorganization in the application of the provisions set forth in this Article 5 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of Warrantholders to the end that the provisions set forth in this Article 5 will thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be in relation to any shares, other securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of any Warrant. Prior to or concurrent with effecting a Capital Reorganization, the Corporation (or a successor corporation as contemplated in Section 9.2) will enter into an agreement supplemental hereto approved by action of the board of directors of the Corporation and by the Agent, which will set forth an appropriate adjustment to give effect to this Section 5.1(e) in which event such adjustment will for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment, subject to the prior written consent of a Recognized Stock Exchange, if required.

(f)

If the purchase price provided for in any rights, options or warrants (the “Rights Offering Price”) referred to in Sections 5.1(c) or 5.1(d) is decreased, the Exercise Price will forthwith be changed so as to decrease the Exercise Price to the Exercise Price that would have been obtained if the adjustment to the Exercise Price made under Section 5.1(c) or 5.1(d), as the case may be, with respect to such rights, options or warrants had been made on the basis of the Rights Offering Price as so decreased, provided that the terms of this Section 5.1(f) will not apply to any decrease in the Rights Offering Price resulting from terms in any such rights, options or warrants designed to prevent dilution except to the extent that the resulting decrease in the Exercise Price under this Section 5.1(f) would be greater than the decrease, if any, in the Exercise Price to be made under the terms of this Section 5.1 by virtue of the occurrence of the event giving rise to such decrease in the Rights Offering Price.

- 19 -

(g)

If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time, any of the events set out in Sections 5.1(b), 5.1(c), or 5.1(d) occur and the occurrence of such event results in an adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Article 5, then the number of Common Shares purchasable pursuant to the Warrants upon exercise thereof will be adjusted contemporaneously with the adjustment of the Exercise Price by multiplying the number of Common Shares then otherwise purchasable on the exercise thereof by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the then applicable Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment and the denominator of which will be the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

(h)

In any case in which this Section 5.1 requires that an adjustment will 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 record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional Common Shares issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event, provided, however, that the Corporation will deliver to such holder evidence of such holder’s right to receive such additional Common Shares upon the occurrence of such event 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 date of conversion or such later date on which such holder would, but for the provisions of this Section 5.1(h), have become the holder of record of such additional Common Shares.

5.2	Rules Regarding Calculation of Adjustment of Exercise Price

(a)	For the purposes of Section 5.1:

(i)	the adjustments provided for in Section 5.1 are cumulative and will be computed to the nearest one-tenth of one cent and will be made successively whenever an event referred to therein occurs, subject to the following provisions of this Section 5.2;

(ii)

no adjustment in the Exercise Price will be required unless the cumulative effect of such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% in the prevailing Exercise Price and no adjustment in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant will be required unless the cumulative effect of such adjustment would result in a change of at least one-hundredth of a Common Share; provided, however, that any adjustments which, except for the provisions of this Section 5.2(a)(ii) would otherwise have been required to be made, will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment;

- 20 -

(iii)

no adjustment in the Exercise Price will be required upon the issuance from time to time of Common Shares pursuant to any security-based compensation plan of the Corporation (including stock option plans, restricted share units plans, deferred share unit plans and share purchase plans or any dividend reinvestment plan of the Corporation, as such plans may be replaced, supplemented or further amended from time to time;

(iv)

no adjustment in the Exercise Price will be made in respect of any of the events referred to in Sections 5.1(b)(i) and 5.1(b)(ii), Section 5.1(c) or Section 5.1(d), if Warrantholders are entitled to participate in such event on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as if they had exercised their Warrants prior to or on the effective date or record date of such event. Any such participation will be subject to any required prior consent of a Recognized Stock Exchange;

(v)

if at any time a dispute arises with respect to adjustments provided for in Section 5.1, such dispute will be conclusively determined, subject to the consent of a Recognized Stock Exchange, if required, by the Corporation’s auditors, or if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such other firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by action of the board of directors of the Corporation and any such determination will be binding upon the Corporation, the Agent, the Warrantholders and shareholders of the Corporation, and such auditors or accountants will be given access to all necessary records of the Corporation. If any such determination is made, the Corporation will deliver a Certificate of the Corporation to the Agent describing such determination, and the Agent will be entitled to act and rely upon such Certificate of the Corporation;

(vi)

if the Corporation sets a record date to determine the holders of Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or distribution or sets a record date to take any other action and thereafter and before the distribution to such shareholders of any such dividend or distribution or the taking of any other action, legally abandons its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution or take such other action, then no adjustment in the Exercise Price will be made; and

(vii)

in the absence of a resolution of the board of directors of the Corporation fixing a record date for a Special Distribution or Rights Offering, the Corporation will be deemed to have fixed as the record date therefore the date on which the Special Distribution or Rights Offering is effected.

5.3	Certificate as to Adjustment

The Corporation will from time to time, immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in Section 5.1, deliver a Certificate of the Corporation to the 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, and the Agent will be entitled to act and rely upon such Certificate of the Corporation. Such Certificate of the Corporation and the amount of the adjustment specified therein will be conclusive and binding on all parties in interest. Until such Certificate of the Corporation is received by the Agent, the Agent may act and be protected in acting on the presumption that no adjustment has been made or is required. Except in respect of any subdivision, reduction, combination or consolidation of the Common Shares contemplated by Section 5.1(b)(i), the Corporation will forthwith give notice to the Warrantholders specifying the event requiring such adjustment or readjustment and the amount thereof, including the resulting Exercise Price; provided that if the Corporation has given notice under Section 5.4 covering all the relevant facts in respect of such event, no such notice need be given under this Section 5.3.

- 21 -

5.4	Notice of Special Matters

The Corporation covenants that, so long as any Warrants remain outstanding, it will give notice to the Agent and to the Warrantholders of its intention to fix a record date for any event referred to in Sections 5.1(b), 5.1(c), 5.1(d) or 5.1(e) (other than the subdivision, reduction, combination or consolidation of Common Shares contemplated by Sections 5.1(b)(iii) and 5.1(b)(iv) or a cash dividend (other than a Dividend Paid in the Ordinary Course) which may give rise to an adjustment in the Exercise Price, or other adjustment and such notice will specify the particulars of such event and the record date and the effective date for such event; provided that the Corporation will only be required to specify in such notice such particulars of such event as will have been fixed and determined on the date on which such notice is given. Such notice will be given not less than 14 days prior to the applicable record date in the case of an event referred to in Sections 5.1(b), 5.1(c) or 5.1(d) and 30 days prior to the applicable record date in the case of an event referred to in Section 5.1(e).

5.5	Protection of Agent

The Agent will not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Warrantholder to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment in the Exercise Price, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed in making the same; and will not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Common Shares or of any shares or other securities or other property which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exercise of any Warrant; and the Agent, subject only to its gross negligence, or wilful misconduct, will not be responsible for any failure of the Corporation to issue, transfer or deliver Common Shares or share certificates upon the surrender of any Warrant for the purpose of exercise, or to comply with any of the covenants contained in this Article 5.

ARTICLE 6

(g)

generally, the Corporation will well and truly perform and carry out all acts and things to be done by it as provided in this Agreement and, subject to Section 4.5, will not take any action that might reasonably be expected to deprive the Warrantholders of their rights to acquire Common Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants;

This Section 6.2 will survive the termination of this Agreement and the removal or resignation of the Agent.

6.3	Performance of Covenants by Agent

If the Agent is made aware of the failure of the Corporation to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Agent may notify the Warrantholders of such failure or may itself perform any of such obligations capable of being performed by it, but will not be bound to do so or to notify the Warrantholders that it is so doing. All sums expended or advanced by the Agent in so doing will be repayable as provided in Section 6.2.

7.2	Suits by Warrantholders

Subject to Sections 7.1 and 8.11, any of the rights conferred upon a Warrantholder by the terms of the Warrants held by it and/or this Agreement may be enforced by such Warrantholder by appropriate legal proceedings but without prejudice to the right that is hereby conferred upon the Agent to proceed in its own name to enforce each and all of the provisions herein contained for the benefit of the holders of the Warrants from time to time outstanding.

FORM OF WARRANT CERTIFICATE

The Warrants and the Common Shares issuable upon exercise hereof have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), and the Warrants may not be exercised at any time in the United States, by or on behalf of a U.S. Person (as such terms are defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act), or by any person for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person or a person in the United States.

Exercisable to Acquire

Common Shares

KINROSS GOLD CORPORATION

(Existing under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario))

THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received, ___________________________________ ___________________________ (the “holder”) is the registered holder of the number of Warrants (“Warrants”) in the capital of KINROSS GOLD CORPORATION (the “Corporation”) specified above and for each Warrant held is thereby entitled, to be issued fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares in the capital of the Corporation (“Common Shares”) on the basis of one Common Share for each such Warrant, subject to the limitation referred to below, by surrendering to Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the “Agent”) at its principal transfer office in Toronto, Ontario during the exercise period hereinafter referred to, a certified cheque, bank draft or money order made payable at par to the Corporation in the amount of the Exercise Price as hereinafter determined in respect of each Common Share to be issued, this Warrant Certificate and a Notice of Exercise substantially in the form set out in Appendix 1 hereof duly completed and executed.

Capitalized terms which are not otherwise defined herein have the same meaning as in the Warrant Agreement (which agreement, together with all instruments supplemental or ancillary thereto, is herein referred to as the “Warrant Agreement”) dated as of September 17, 2010 between the Corporation and the Agent, as 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 Agent at the office specified above.

This Warrant Certificate evidences Warrants of the Corporation issued or issuable under the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. Reference is made to the Warrant Agreement for particulars of the rights of the holders of the Warrants and of the Corporation and of the Agent in respect thereof and of the terms and conditions upon which the Warrants are issued and held and may be exercised, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Warrant Agreement 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 Warrant Agreement and the terms of this Warrant Certificate, the terms of the Warrant Agreement will prevail. The Corporation will furnish to the holder, on request and upon payment of a reasonable charge for photocopying and postage, a copy of the Warrant Agreement or a holder may obtain a copy thereof from ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.

- 2 -

THE WARRANTS EVIDENCED BY THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE MAY BE EXERCISED BY THE HOLDER ON OR AFTER THE FORTY-FIRST DAY FOLLOWING THE DATE HEREOF UNTIL 5.00 P.M. (TORONTO TIME) ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2014 (“EXPIRY TIME”).

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 the holder upon delivery of a certified cheque, bank draft or money order payable to the Corporation in the amount of the Exercise Price in respect of each Common Share to be issued, this Warrant Certificate and duly completed Notice of Exercise as set out in Appendix I hereof to the Agent at its principal corporate trust office in 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.

The Corporation 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, the Corporation will, in lieu of delivering the fractional Common Share, satisfy the right to receive such fractional interest by payment to the Warrantholder of an amount in cash equal (computed in the case of a fraction of a cent, to the next lower cent) to the value of the right to acquire such fractional interest on the basis of the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on the date of exercise.

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

No Common Share will be issued pursuant to any Warrant if the issuance of such security would constitute a violation of the securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction or require the Corporation to qualify or register such Common Shares, or make any notice or other filing, in any jurisdiction other than the Qualifying Jurisdictions.

The Warrant Agreement 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 corporate trust office of the Agent in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, subject to the provisions of the Warrant Agreement and on compliance with the reasonable requirements of the Agent, one or more Warrant Certificates may be exchanged 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, and such holder will pay the reasonable cost thereof.

- 3 -

The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may only be transferred, upon compliance with the conditions prescribed in the Warrant Agreement, on the register of transfers to be kept at the principal corporate trust office of the Agent in Toronto, Ontario by the holder or, in the case of an individual, his/her executors, administrators or other legal representatives or an attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and execution satisfactory to the Agent, and, upon compliance with such requirements and such other reasonable requirements as the Agent may prescribe, such transfer will be duly noted on such register of transfers by the Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation will be entitled, and may direct the 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 the Corporation to qualify the Common Shares for distribution in any jurisdiction.

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

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

The Warrants may not be exercised in the United States, by or on behalf of a U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act), or by any person for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person or a person in the United States.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Corporation has caused this Warrant Certificate to be signed by its officers duly authorized in that behalf as of _______________________________.
