Adjustment of Number of Underlying Securities. The rights to acquire Underlying Securities in effect at any date attaching to the Special Warrants are subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) if and whenever at any time from the date hereof and prior to the Deemed Exercise Time, the Corporation: (i) subdivides, re-divides or changes its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares; (ii) consolidates, reduces or combines its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares; or (iii) issues Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible to Common Shares (“Convertible Securities”) to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend; (any of the above being an “Common Share Reorganization”), the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Special Warrant is adjusted immediately after the effective date of the Common Share Reorganization or on the record date for the issue of Common Shares or Convertible Securities by way of stock dividend, by multiplying the number of Underlying Shares previously obtainable on the exercise of a Special Warrant by the fraction of which: (A) the numerator is the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after the effective or record date of the Common Share Reorganization, or, in the case of the issuance of exchangeable or Convertible Securities, the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after the effective or record date of the Common Share Reorganization plus the total number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities; and (B) the denominator is the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the applicable effective or record date of such Common Share Reorganization; and the Corporation and Special Warrant Agent, upon receipt of notice pursuant to Section 4.3, shall make such adjustment successively whenever any event referred to in this Section 4.1(a) occurs and any such issue of Common Shares or Convertible Securities by way of a stock dividend is deemed to have occurred on the record date for the stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under this Section 4.1(a). Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any computation. To the extent that any Convertible Securities are not converted into or exchanged for Common Shares, prior to the expiration thereof, the number of Underlying Shares obtainable under each Special Warrant shall be readjusted to the number of Underlying Shares that is then obtainable based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued on conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities; (b) if and whenever at any time from the date hereof and prior to the Deemed Exercise Time the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issue of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares under which such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 calendar days after the record date for such issue (“Rights Period”), to subscribe for or acquire Common Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) to the holder of less than 95% of the Current Market Price for the Common Shares on such record date (any such issuance being herein called a “Rights Offering), then the number of Underlying Shares obtainable upon the exercise of each Special Warrant shall be adjusted effective immediately after the end of the Rights Period to a number determined by multiplying the number of Underlying Shares obtainable upon the exercise thereof immediately prior to the end of the Rights Period by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding after giving effect to the Rights Offering and including the number of Common Shares actually issued or subscribed for during the Rights Period (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable) upon exercise of the rights, warrants or options under the Rights Offering; and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the aggregate of: (A) the number of Common Shares outstanding as of the record date for the Rights Offering, and (B) a number determined by dividing (1) the product of the number of Common Shares issued or subscribed during the Rights Period (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable) upon the exercise of the rights, warrants, or options under the Rights Offering and the price at which such Common Shares are offered (or the conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered) by (2) the Current Market Price ofthe Common Shares as of the record date for the Rights Offering; Any offered securities owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any computation. If all the rights, options or warrants are not so issued or if all rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the number of Underlying Shares obtainable shall be readjusted to the number of Underlying Shares obtainable in effect immediately prior to the record date and such number shall be further adjusted based upon the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares) actually delivered upon the exercise of the rights, options or warrants, as the case may be, but subject to any other adjustment required hereunder by reason of any event arising after that record date; (c) if and whenever at any time from the date hereof and prior to the Deemed Exercise Time the Corporation shall issue or distribute to all or to substantially all of the holders of the Common Shares: (i) securities of the Corporation including rights, options or warrants to acquire shares of any class or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or exchangeable into any such shares or property or assets and including evidence of its indebtedness; or (ii) any property or other assets, and if such issuance or distribution does not constitute a Common Share Reorganization or a Rights Offering (any of such non-excluded events being herein called a “Special Distribution”), the number of Underlying Shares obtainable upon the exercise of each Special Warrant shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date at which the holders of affected Common Shares are determined for purposes of the Special Distribution to a number determined by multiplying the number of Underlying Shares obtainable upon the exercise thereof in effect on such record date by a fraction: (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date; and (B) the denominator of which shall be: (1) the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date, less (2) the aggregate fair market value on such record date, as determined by action by the directors (whose determination shall be conclusive), subject to approval by any stock exchange upon which the Common Shares are then listed and posted for trading, to the holders of the Common Shares of such securities or property or other assets so issued or distributed in the Special Distribution; Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any computation. If the distribution of shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness, property or other assets is not so made or to the extent that any rights, options or warrants so distributed are not exercised, the number of Underlying Shares obtainable shall be readjusted to the number of Underlying Shares obtainable in effect immediately prior to the record date and such number shall be further adjusted based upon the number of shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness, property or other assets actually distributed or based upon the number of securities actually delivered upon the exercise of the rights, options or warrants, as the case may be, but subject to any other adjustment required hereunder by reason of any event arising after that record date; (d) if and whenever at any time from the date hereof and prior to the Deemed Exercise Time there is a reclassification of the Common Shares, a change in the Common Shares into other shares or securities, or a capital reorganization of the Corporation other than as described in Section 4.1(a), including for certainty a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Corporation with or into any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, or a transfer, sale or conveyance of the property and assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, any of such events being referred to as a “Capital Reorganization”, every Special Warrantholder, as at the effective date of such Capital Reorganization, shall be entitled to receive upon deemed exercise in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Underlying Securities obtainable under the Special Warrants to which it was previously entitled, the kind and number of shares or other securities or property of the Corporation or of the body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity resulting from such Capital Reorganization, that the Special Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive on such Capital Reorganization if, on the record date or the effective date thereof, as the case may be, the Special Warrantholder had been the registered holder of the number of Underlying Securities obtainable upon the exercise of Special Warrants then held, subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with provisions of the same, as nearly as may be possible, as those contained in this Article 4. The Corporation shall not carry into effect any action requiring an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.1(d) unless all necessary steps have been taken so that the Special Warrantholders are thereafter entitled to receive such kind and number of shares, other securities or property. The Corporation will not enter into a Capital Reorganization unless its successor, or the purchasing body corporate, partnership, trust or other entity, as the case may be, prior to or contemporaneously with any such Capital Reorganization, enters into an indenture which provides, to the extent possible, for the application of the provisions set forth in this Special Warrant Indenture with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Special Warrantholders to the end that the provisions set forth in this Special Warrant Indenture are correspondingly made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be possible, with respect to any shares, other securities or property to which a Special Warrantholder is entitled on the exercise of his acquisition rights thereafter. An indenture entered into by the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.1(d) is deemed a supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to the provisions of Article 7. An indenture entered into between the Corporation, any successor to the Corporation or any purchasing body corporate, partnership, trust or other entity and the Special Warrant Agent must provide for adjustments which are as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided in this Article 4 and which apply to successive Capital Reorganizations; (e) where this Section 4.1 requires that an adjustment becomes effective immediately after a record date or effective date, as the case may be, for an event referred to herein, the Corporation may defer, until the occurrence of that event, issuing to the Special Warrantholder exercising his acquisition rights after the record date or effective date, as the case may be and before the occurrence of that event the adjusted number of Underlying Securities, other securities or property issuable upon the exercise of the Special Warrants by reason of the adjustment required by that event. If the Corporation relies on this Section 4.1(e) to defer issuing an adjusted number of Underlying Securities, other securities or property to a Special Warrantholder, the Corporation shall first deliver to the Special Warrantholder an appropriate instrument evidencing the right of such person to receive such securities or other property and the Special Warrantholder has the right to receive any distributions made on the adjusted number of Underlying Securities, other securities or property declared in favour of holders of record on and after the date of exercise or such later date as the Special Warrantholder would but for the provisions of this Section 4.1(e), have become the holder of record of the adjusted number of Underlying Securities, other securities or property; (f) notwithstanding any other provision of this Special Warrant Indenture, if an event which would cause an adjustment under Section 4.1(c) or Section 4.1(d) shall become contemplated and the terms and conditions of such event are such that the rights of the Special Warrantholders to the applicable shares or other securities or property that the Special Warrantholders would be entitled to upon such adjustment are adversely affected, considering all relevant facts, by reason of them not holding prior to the Deemed Exercise Time the Underlying Securities to which they are entitled upon exercise of the Special Warrants, then (A) the Corporation shall forthwith deliver notice of such event to the Special Warrant Agent and the Agent containing reasonable particulars of the event and the resulting adjustments and (B) on the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the earliest of the record date, the date on which the Corporation’s transfer books are to be closed, or the effective date with respect to such event, the Special Warrants will be deemed to be exercised and the provisions of this Special Warrant Indenture shall apply mutatis mutandis to such accelerated exercise of the Special Warrants; (g) the adjustments provided for in this Section 4.1 are cumulative. After any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.1, the term “Underlying Securities” where used in this Special Warrant Indenture is interpreted to mean securities of any class or classes which, as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this Section, the Special Warrantholder is entitled to receive upon the exercise of his Special Warrant, and the number of Underlying Securities obtainable in any exercise made pursuant to a Special Warrant is interpreted to mean the number of Underlying Securities or other property or securities a Special Warrantholder is entitled to receive, as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 4.1, upon the full exercise of a Special Warrant;

Adjustment of Number of Underlying Securities. The rights to acquire Underlying Securities in effect at any date attaching to the Special Warrants are subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) if and whenever at any time from the date hereof and prior to the Deemed Exercise Time, the Corporation:
(i) subdivides, re-divides or changes its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares;
(ii) consolidates, reduces or combines its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares; or
(iii) issues Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible to Common Shares (“Convertible Securities”) to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend; (any of the above being an “Common Share Reorganization”), the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Special Warrant is adjusted immediately after the effective date of the Common Share Reorganization or on the record date for the issue of Common Shares or Convertible Securities by way of stock dividend, by multiplying the number of Underlying Shares previously obtainable on the exercise of a Special Warrant by the fraction of which:
(A) the numerator is the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after the effective or record date of the Common Share Reorganization, or, in the case of the issuance of exchangeable or Convertible Securities, the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after the effective or record date of the Common Share Reorganization plus the total number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities; and
(B) the denominator is the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the applicable effective or record date of such Common Share Reorganization; and the Corporation and Special Warrant Agent, upon receipt of notice pursuant to Section 4.3, shall make such adjustment successively whenever any event referred to in this Section 4.1(a) occurs and any such issue of Common Shares or Convertible Securities by way of a stock dividend is deemed to have occurred on the record date for the stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under this Section 4.1(a). Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any computation. To the extent that any Convertible Securities are not converted into or exchanged for Common Shares, prior to the expiration thereof, the number of Underlying Shares obtainable under each Special Warrant shall be readjusted to the number of Underlying Shares that is then obtainable based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued on conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;
(b) if and whenever at any time from the date hereof and prior to the Deemed Exercise Time the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issue of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares under which such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 calendar days after the record date for such issue (“Rights Period”), to subscribe for or acquire Common Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) to the holder of less than 95% of the Current Market Price for the Common Shares on such record date (any such issuance being herein called a “Rights Offering), then the number of Underlying Shares obtainable upon the exercise of each Special Warrant shall be adjusted effective immediately after the end of the Rights Period to a number determined by multiplying the number of Underlying Shares obtainable upon the exercise thereof immediately prior to the end of the Rights Period by a fraction:
(i) the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding after giving effect to the Rights Offering and including the number of Common Shares actually issued or subscribed for during the Rights Period (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable) upon exercise of the rights, warrants or options under the Rights Offering; and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the aggregate of:
(A) the number of Common Shares outstanding as of the record date for the Rights Offering, and
(B) a number determined by dividing (1) the product of the number of Common Shares issued or subscribed during the Rights Period (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable) upon the exercise of the rights, warrants, or options under the Rights Offering and the price at which such Common Shares are offered (or the conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered) by (2) the Current Market Price ofthe Common Shares as of the record date for the Rights Offering; Any offered securities owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any computation. If all the rights, options or warrants are not so issued or if all rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the number of Underlying Shares obtainable shall be readjusted to the number of Underlying Shares obtainable in effect immediately prior to the record date and such number shall be further adjusted based upon the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares) actually delivered upon the exercise of the rights, options or warrants, as the case may be, but subject to any other adjustment required hereunder by reason of any event arising after that record date;
(c) if and whenever at any time from the date hereof and prior to the Deemed Exercise Time the Corporation shall issue or distribute to all or to substantially all of the holders of the Common Shares:
(i) securities of the Corporation including rights, options or warrants to acquire shares of any class or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or exchangeable into any such shares or property or assets and including evidence of its indebtedness; or
(ii) any property or other assets, and if such issuance or distribution does not constitute a Common Share Reorganization or a Rights Offering (any of such non-excluded events being herein called a “Special Distribution”), the number of Underlying Shares obtainable upon the exercise of each Special Warrant shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date at which the holders of affected Common Shares are determined for purposes of the Special Distribution to a number determined by multiplying the number of Underlying Shares obtainable upon the exercise thereof in effect on such record date by a fraction:
(A) the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date; and
(B) the denominator of which shall be:
(1) the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date, less
(2) the aggregate fair market value on such record date, as determined by action by the directors (whose determination shall be conclusive), subject to approval by any stock exchange upon which the Common Shares are then listed and posted for trading, to the holders of the Common Shares of such securities or property or other assets so issued or distributed in the Special Distribution; Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any computation. If the distribution of shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness, property or other assets is not so made or to the extent that any rights, options or warrants so distributed are not exercised, the number of Underlying Shares obtainable shall be readjusted to the number of Underlying Shares obtainable in effect immediately prior to the record date and such number shall be further adjusted based upon the number of shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness, property or other assets actually distributed or based upon the number of securities actually delivered upon the exercise of the rights, options or warrants, as the case may be, but subject to any other adjustment required hereunder by reason of any event arising after that record date;
(d) if and whenever at any time from the date hereof and prior to the Deemed Exercise Time there is a reclassification of the Common Shares, a change in the Common Shares into other shares or securities, or a capital reorganization of the Corporation other than as described in Section 4.1(a), including for certainty a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Corporation with or into any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, or a transfer, sale or conveyance of the property and assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, any of such events being referred to as a “Capital Reorganization”, every Special Warrantholder, as at the effective date of such Capital Reorganization, shall be entitled to receive upon deemed exercise in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Underlying Securities obtainable under the Special Warrants to which it was previously entitled, the kind and number of shares or other securities or property of the Corporation or of the body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity resulting from such Capital Reorganization, that the Special Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive on such Capital Reorganization if, on the record date or the effective date thereof, as the case may be, the Special Warrantholder had been the registered holder of the number of Underlying Securities obtainable upon the exercise of Special Warrants then held, subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with provisions of the same, as nearly as may be possible, as those contained in this Article 4. The Corporation shall not carry into effect any action requiring an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.1(d) unless all necessary steps have been taken so that the Special Warrantholders are thereafter entitled to receive such kind and number of shares, other securities or property. The Corporation will not enter into a Capital Reorganization unless its successor, or the purchasing body corporate, partnership, trust or other entity, as the case may be, prior to or contemporaneously with any such Capital Reorganization, enters into an indenture which provides, to the extent possible, for the application of the provisions set forth in this Special Warrant Indenture with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Special Warrantholders to the end that the provisions set forth in this Special Warrant Indenture are correspondingly made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be possible, with respect to any shares, other securities or property to which a Special Warrantholder is entitled on the exercise of his acquisition rights thereafter.

An indenture entered into between the Corporation, any successor to the Corporation or any purchasing body corporate, partnership, trust or other entity and the Special Warrant Agent must provide for adjustments which are as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided in this Article 4 and which apply to successive Capital Reorganizations;
(e) where this Section 4.1 requires that an adjustment becomes effective immediately after a record date or effective date, as the case may be, for an event referred to herein, the Corporation may defer, until the occurrence of that event, issuing to the Special Warrantholder exercising his acquisition rights after the record date or effective date, as the case may be and before the occurrence of that event the adjusted number of Underlying Securities, other securities or property issuable upon the exercise of the Special Warrants by reason of the adjustment required by that event. If the Corporation relies on this Section 4.1(e) to defer issuing an adjusted number of Underlying Securities, other securities or property to a Special Warrantholder, the Corporation shall first deliver to the Special Warrantholder an appropriate instrument evidencing the right of such person to receive such securities or other property and the Special Warrantholder has the right to receive any distributions made on the adjusted number of Underlying Securities, other securities or property declared in favour of holders of record on and after the date of exercise or such later date as the Special Warrantholder would but for the provisions of this Section 4.1(e), have become the holder of record of the adjusted number of Underlying Securities, other securities or property;
(f) notwithstanding any other provision of this Special Warrant Indenture, if an event which would cause an adjustment under Section 4.1(c) or Section 4.1(d) shall become contemplated and the terms and conditions of such event are such that the rights of the Special Warrantholders to the applicable shares or other securities or property that the Special Warrantholders would be entitled to upon such adjustment are adversely affected, considering all relevant facts, by reason of them not holding prior to the Deemed Exercise Time the Underlying Securities to which they are entitled upon exercise of the Special Warrants, then (A) the Corporation shall forthwith deliver notice of such event to the Special Warrant Agent and the Agent containing reasonable particulars of the event and the resulting adjustments and (B) on the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the earliest of the record date, the date on which the Corporation’s transfer books are to be closed, or the effective date with respect to such event, the Special Warrants will be deemed to be exercised and the provisions of this Special Warrant Indenture shall apply mutatis mutandis to such accelerated exercise of the Special Warrants;
