Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or when reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or by the relevant Governmental Authority and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower to determine (i) whether or not payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (ii) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (iii) such Lender's entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender's status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdictions.

Adjustments: The Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares issuable to the Warrantholder upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in the events and in the manner provided as follows:

If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall:

fix a record date for the issue of, or issue, Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend;

fix a record date for the distribution to, or make a distribution to, the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares payable in Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares;

subdivide the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares; or

consolidate the outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of Common Shares,

the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date or effective date, as the case may be, before giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization; and

the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares which will be outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization (including in the case of a distribution of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares on such date).

If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issue or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares of rights, options or warrants pursuant to which such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue (such period being 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 in the case of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, at an exchange or conversion price per share) at the date of issue of such securities of less than 95% of the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date (any of such events being called a "Rights Offering"), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date for such Rights Offering to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction:

the numerator of which shall be the aggregate of

the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date for the Rights Offering, and

the quotient determined by dividing

either (a) the product of the number of Common Shares offered during the Rights Period pursuant to the Rights Offering and the price at which such Common Shares are offered, or, (b) the product of the exchange or conversion price of the securities so offered and the number of Common Shares for or into which the securities offered pursuant to the Rights Offering may be exchanged or converted, as the case may be, by

the Current Market Price of the Common Shares as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and

the denominator of which shall be the aggregate of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the number of Common Shares offered pursuant to the Rights Offering (including in the case of the issue or distribution of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares the number of Common Shares for or into which such securities may be exchanged or converted).

If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issue or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares of:

shares of the Corporation of any class other than Common Shares;

rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares (other than rights, options or warrants pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares at a price per share (or in the case of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares at an exchange or conversion price per share) at the date of issue of such securities to the holder of at least 95% of the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date);

evidences of indebtedness of the Corporation; or

any property or assets of the Corporation;

the numerator of which shall be the difference between

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, and

the fair value, as determined by the directors of the Corporation and subject to Exchange approval, to the holders of Common Shares of the shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or property or assets to be issued or distributed in the Special Distribution, and

the denominator of which shall be the product obtained by multiplying the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date by the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date.

If at any time during the Adjustment Period there shall occur:

a reclassification or redesignation of the Common Shares, a change of the Common Shares into other shares or securities or any other capital reorganization involving the Common Shares other than a Common Share Reorganization;

a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Corporation with or into another body corporate which results in a reclassification or redesignation of the Common Shares or a change or exchange of the Common Shares into other shares, securities or property; or

the transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or entity; (any of such events being called a "Capital Reorganization"), after the effective date of the Capital Reorganization the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept, for the same aggregate consideration, upon exercise of the Warrants, in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which the Warrantholder was theretofore entitled upon the exercise of the Warrants, the kind and aggregate number of other shares, securities or property resulting from the Capital Reorganization which the Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the Warrantholder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares which the Warrantholder was theretofore entitled to purchase or receive upon the exercise of the Warrants. If necessary, as a result of any such Capital Reorganization, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant Certificate with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Warrantholder to the end that the provisions shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be possible in relation to any other shares, securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants.

If at any time during the Adjustment Period any adjustment or readjustment in the Exercise Price shall occur pursuant to the provisions of clause 5(2)(a) of this Warrant Certificate, then the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the subsequent exercise of the Warrants shall be simultaneously adjusted or readjusted, as the case may be, by multiplying the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment by a fraction which shall be the reciprocal of the fraction used in the adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price.

In any case in which this section 5 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein, the Corporation may defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the holder after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional Common Shares issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event before giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver to such holder an appropriate instrument evidencing such holder's right to receive such additional Common Shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment and the right to receive any distributions made on such additional Common Shares declared in favour of holders of record of Common Shares on and after the Date of Conversion or such later date as such holder would, but for the provisions of this section 5, have become the holder of record of such additional Common Shares.

Rules: The following rules and procedures shall be applicable to adjustments made pursuant to subsection 5(2) hereof:

Subject to the following clauses of this subsection 5(3), any adjustment made pursuant to subsection 5(2) hereof shall be made successively whenever an event referred to therein shall occur.

No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least one per cent in the then Exercise Price and no adjustment shall be made in the number of Common Shares purchasable or issuable on the exercise of the Warrants unless it would result in a change of at least one one-hundredth of a Common Share; provided, however, that any adjustments which except for the provision of this clause 5(3)(b) would otherwise have been required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. Notwithstanding any other provision of subsection 5(2) hereof, no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made which would result in an increase in the Exercise Price or a decrease in the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants (except in respect of the Common Share Reorganization described in subclause 5(2)(a)(iv) hereof or a Capital Reorganization described in subclause 5(2)(d) hereof).

No adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number or kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants shall be made in respect of any event described in section 5 hereof if the Warrantholder is entitled, subject to the approval of the Exchange, to participate in such event on the same terms mutatis mutandis as if the Warrantholder had exercised the Warrants prior to or on the record date or effective date, as the case may be, of such event.

If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Common Shares, other than an action described in subsection 5(2) hereof, which in the opinion of the directors would have a material adverse effect upon the rights of Warrantholders, either, or both, the Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of Warrants shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time by action by the directors, in their sole discretion, subject to Exchange approval, as may be equitable in the circumstances. Failure of the taking of action by the directors so as to provide for an adjustment prior to the effective date of any action by the Corporation affecting the Common Shares shall be deemed to be conclusive evidence that the directors have determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances.

If the Corporation shall set a record date to determine holders of Common Shares for the purpose of entitling such holders to receive any dividend or distribution or any subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to such holders of any such dividend, distribution or subscription or purchase rights, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution or subscription or purchase rights, then no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be required by reason of the setting of such record date.

In any case in which this Warrant Certificate shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to in subsection 5(2) hereof, the Corporation may defer, until the occurrence of such event:

issuing to the Warrantholder, to the extent that the Warrants are exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event, the additional Common Shares or other securities issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event; and

delivering to the Warrantholder any distribution declared with respect to such additional Common Shares or other securities after such record date and before such event;

In the absence of a resolution of the directors fixing a record date for a Rights Offering, the Corporation shall be deemed to have fixed as the record date therefor the date of the issue of the rights, options or warrants issued pursuant to the Rights Offering.

If a dispute shall at any time arise with respect to adjustments of the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants, such disputes shall be conclusively determined by the auditors of the Corporation or if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such other firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by the directors and any such determination shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any adjustment made pursuant to subsection 5(2) hereof and shall be binding upon the Corporation and the Warrantholder.

As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to subsection 5(2) hereof, including the Exercise Price and the number or class of Common Shares or other securities which are to be received upon the exercise thereof, the Corporation shall take any action which may, in the opinion of counsel to the Corporation, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable shares all of the Common Shares or other securities which the Warrantholder is entitled to receive in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant Certificate.

Notice: At least 15 days prior to the earlier of the record date or effective date of any event which requires or might require an adjustment in any of the rights of the Warrantholder under this Warrant Certificate, including the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant Certificate, the Corporation shall deliver to the Warrantholder a certificate of the Corporation specifying the particulars of such event and, if determinable, the required adjustment and the calculation of such adjustment. If it is not reasonably practicable for the Corporation to give 15 days' notice as aforesaid, the Corporation will give as much notice as is reasonably practicable in the circumstances.

Further Assurances: The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees that it will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, all and every such other act, deed and assurance as the Warrantholder shall reasonably require for the better accomplishing and effectuating of the intentions and provisions of this Warrant Certificate.

Notices: All notices or other communications to be given to the Warrantholder by the Corporation under this Warrant Certificate shall be delivered by hand, courier, ordinary prepaid mail or by telecopier; and, if delivered by hand or ordinary prepaid mail, shall be deemed to have been given on the date of delivery and, if sent by telecopier, on the date of transmission if sent before 5:00 p.m. on a Business Day or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the first Business Day following the date of transmission.

Legends on Common Shares: Any certificate representing Common Shares issued upon the exercise of the Warrants prior to the date which is four months and one day after the date hereof will bear the following legends:

Lost Certificate: If this Warrant Certificate or any replacement hereof becomes stolen, lost, mutilated or destroyed, the Corporation shall, on such terms as it may in its discretion impose, acting reasonably, issue and deliver a new certificate, in form identical hereto but with appropriate changes, representing any unexercised portion of the subscription rights represented hereby to replace the certificate so stolen, lost, mutilated or destroyed.

General:

Language: The parties hereto acknowledge and confirm that they have requested that this Warrant Certificate as well as all notices and other documents contemplated hereby be drawn up in the English language. Les parties aux présentes reconnaissent et confirment qu'elles ont exigé que la présente convention ainsi que tous ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ et documents qui s'y rattachent soient rédigés en langue anglaise.

Time of Essence: Time shall be of the essence of this Warrant Certificate.

Governing Laws: This Warrant Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, governing contracts made and to be performed wholly therein, and without reference to its principles governing the choice or conflict of laws.

Headings: The headings in this certificate are for reference only and do not constitute terms of this Warrant certificate.

Successors and Assigns: This Warrant Certificate shall enure to the benefit of the Warrantholder and the successors and permitted assigns thereof and shall be binding upon the Corporation and the successors thereof.

Day Not a Business Day: In the event that any day on or before which any action is required to be taken hereunder is not a Business Day then such action shall be required to be taken on or before the requisite time on the next day that is a Business Day. For the purposes of this Warrant Certificate, "Business Day" shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions are closed in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.
