Delivery of certificates bearing such a legend may not constitute “good delivery” in settlement of transactions on Canadian stock exchanges or over-the-counter markets. If the Issuer is a “foreign issuer” with no “substantial U.S. market interest” (all within the meaning of Regulation S under the 0000 Xxx) at the time of sale, a new certificate, which will constitute “good delivery”, will be made available to the Holder upon provision by the Holder of a declaration in the appropriate form, together with such other evidence of the availability of an exemption as the Issuer or its transfer agent may reasonably require.
Certificates representing Warrants, and all certificates issued in exchange therefore or in substitution thereof, shall bear the following legend in substantially the following form:
“THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES DELIVERABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “U.S. SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THIS WARRANT MAY NOT BE EXERCISED BY OR ON BEHALF OF A “U.S. PERSON” OR A PERSON IN THE UNITED STATES UNLESS THE WARRANT AND THE UNDERLYING SECURITIES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LEGISLATION OF ANY SUCH STATE OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS IS AVAILABLE. “UNITED STATES” AND “U.S. PERSON” ARE AS DEFINED BY REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT.”

10. | It understands and agrees that there may be material tax consequences to the Holder of an acquisition or disposition of the Shares. The Issuer gives no opinion and makes no representation with respect to the tax consequences to the Holder under United States, state, local or foreign tax law of the undersigned’s acquisition or disposition of such Shares, in particular, no determination has been made whether the Issuer will be a “passive Foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) within the meaning of Section 1291 of the United States Internal Revenue Code. |
|
|
|
|
11. | It understands and agrees that the financial statements of the Issuer have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which differ in some respects from United States generally accepted accounting principles, and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies. |

Accordingly, the Holder understands that absent registration, under the rules of the SEC, the Holder may be required to hold the Shares indefinitely or to transfer the Shares in "private placements" which are exempt from registration under the 1933 Ac4 in which event the transferee will acquire "restricted securities" subject to the same limitations as in the hands of the Holder. As a consequence, the Holder understands that it must bear the economic risks of the in vestment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time. |
