WARRANTS

Section 3.1 Issuance of Warrants. The Series A Warrants will be issued on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement on [____], 2013 (the “Issue Date”) in the amounts and to the Holders determined pursuant to the terms of the Offering.

All Series A Warrants will rank pari passu, whatever may be the actual dates of the issuance thereof.

Section 3.2 Form of Warrant.

(a) The Series A Warrants may be issued in both certificated and uncertificated form. All Series A Warrants issued in certificated form shall be evidenced by a warrant certificate (including all replacements issued in accordance with this Agreement), substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule “A” or in such other form as may be approved by the Company and the Warrant Agent (a “Warrant Certificate”), which shall be dated as of the Issue Date, shall bear such distinguishing letters, numbers and legends as the Company may, with the approval of the Warrant Agent, prescribe, and shall be issuable in any whole number denomination. Series A Warrants issued to the Clearing Agency may be in uncertificated form and shall be evidenced on the register of Warrantholders to be maintained by the Warrant Agent.

(b) Each Warrant Certificate 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 Company may determine.

Section 3.3 Execution of Warrant Certificates.

(a) The Warrant Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive Officer, its President or any Executive Vice President (each, an “Appropriate Officer”). Each such signature upon the Warrant Certificates may be in the form of a facsimile signature of any such Appropriate Officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant Certificates and for that purpose the Company may adopt and use the facsimile signature of any Appropriate Officer.

(b) If any Appropriate Officer who shall have signed any of the Warrant Certificates shall cease to be such Appropriate Officer before the Warrant Certificates so signed shall have been countersigned by the Warrant Agent or disposed of by the Company, such Warrant Certificates nevertheless may be countersigned and delivered or disposed of as though such Appropriate Officer had not ceased to be such Appropriate Officer of the Company; and any Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Warrant Certificate, shall be a proper Appropriate Officer of the Company to sign such Warrant Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Agreement any such person was not such Appropriate Officer.

(c) Authentication of Warrant Certificates. No Warrant Certificate will be issued or, if issued, such Warrant Certificate will not be valid or entitle the holder to the benefits hereof until it has been Authenticated on behalf of the Warrant Agent substantially in the form of the certificate attached hereto as Schedule “A” or in such other form as may be approved by the Company and the Warrant Agent. Such Authentication shall be conclusive evidence that such Warrant Certificate has been duly issued hereunder and that the holder or holders are entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

(d) The Warrant Agent shall Authenticate Uncertificated Warrants (whether upon original issuance, exchange, registration of transfer, or otherwise) by completing its Internal Procedures and the Company shall, and hereby acknowledges that it shall, thereupon be deemed to have duly and validly issued such Uncertificated Warrants under this Agreement. Such Authentication shall be conclusive evidence that such Uncertificated Warrant has been duly issued hereunder and that the holder or holders are entitled to the benefits of this Agreement. The register shall be final and conclusive evidence as to all matters relating to Uncertificated Warrants with respect to which this Agreement requires the Warrant Agent to maintain records or accounts. In case of differences between the register at any time and any other time the register at the later time shall be controlling, absent manifest error.

(e) Authentication Not Representation. The Authentication by the Warrant Agent of any Warrant Certificate or Uncertificated Warrants issued hereunder will not be construed as a representation or warranty by the Warrant Agent as to the validity of this Agreement or such Warrant Certificate or Uncertificated Warrants (except with respect to the due Authentication thereof) or as to the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement and the Warrant Agent will in no respect be liable or answerable for the use made of any Warrant Certificate or of the consideration therefor, except as otherwise specified herein.

(f) The Warrant Agent shall keep, at an office designated for such purpose in Ontario, Canada, or at any other place designated by the Company with the approval of the Warrant Agent, books (the “Warrant Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it shall register the Series A Warrants and exchanges and

transfers of outstanding Series A Warrants in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.1 of this Agreement, all in form satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of the Series A Warrants, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed on the Registered Holder (as defined below) in connection with any such exchange or registration of transfer. The Warrant Agent shall have no obligation to effect an exchange or register a transfer unless and until any payments required by the immediately preceding sentence have been made.

(g) Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer or exchange of any Series A Warrant in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name any Series A Warrant is registered upon the Warrant Register (the “Registered Holder” of such Series A Warrant) as the absolute owner of such Series A Warrant (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on a Warrant Certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent), for the purpose of any exercise thereof, any distribution to the holder thereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Warrant Agent nor the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(h) Once an Uncertificated Warrant has been Authenticated, the information set forth in the Warrant Register with respect thereto at the time of Authentication may be altered, modified, amended, supplemented or otherwise changed only to reflect exercise or proper instructions to the Warrant Agent from the holder as provided herein, except that the Warrant Agent may act unilaterally to make purely administrative changes internal to the Warrant Agent and changes to correct errors. Each person who becomes a holder of an Uncertificated Warrant, by his, her or its acquisition thereof shall be deemed to have irrevocably (i) consented to the foregoing authority of the Warrant Agent to make such error corrections and (ii) agreed to pay to the Warrant Agent, promptly upon written demand, the full amount of all loss and expense including without limitation reasonable legal fees of the Company and the Warrant Agent plus interest, at an appropriate then prevailing rate of interest to the Warrant Agent, sustained by the Company or the Warrant Agent as a proximate result of such error if but only if and only to the extent that such present or former holder realized any benefit as a result of such error and could reasonably have prevented, forestalled or minimized such loss and expense by prompt reporting of the error or avoidance of accepting benefits thereof whether or not such error is or should have been detected in a timely fashion and corrected by the Warrant Agent; provided, that no person who is a bona fide purchaser shall have any such obligation to the Company or to the Warrant Agent.

Section 3.4 Uncertificated Warrants issued to Clearing Agency.

(a) No Warrant Certificate shall be issued in respect of Uncertificated Warrants held in the name of the Clearing Agency, except where physical certificates evidencing ownership in such securities are required or as set out herein or as may be requested by the Clearing Agency, as determined by the Company, from time to time. Such Uncertificated Warrants will initially be registered on the Warrant Register maintained by the Warrant Agent in the name of the Clearing Agency.

(b) Re-registrations of interests in, and transfers of, Uncertificated Warrants by the beneficial owners thereof shall be made only through the Clearing Agency and any person transferring Series A Warrant in such manner shall be deemed to have transferred to the transferee all of such person's rights and obligations in respect thereof; all transferees of such Series A Warrants shall be deemed to have received and accepted such transfer and be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) The Company may terminate the application of this Section 3.4 in its sole discretion in which case all Uncertificated Warrants shall as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter be evidenced in certificated form and registered in the name of a person other than a Clearing Agency.

(d) The Company and the Warrant Agent may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the making of payments and the delivery of any notice, report or other communication) as the registered holder of the Uncertificated Warrants and as the authorized representative of the respective beneficial holders of such Warrants.

(e) To the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.4 conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.4 shall prevail.

(f) Transfers of beneficial ownership in any Uncertificated Warrant will be effected only (i) with respect to the interest of a Participant, through records maintained by the Clearing Agency or its nominee for such Uncertificated Warrants, and (ii) with respect to the interest of any person other than a Participant, through records maintained by Participants. Beneficial owners of Uncertificated Warrants who are not Participants but who desire to sell or otherwise transfer ownership of or any other interest in such Warrants may do so only through a Participant.

(g) The rights of beneficial owners of Uncertificated Warrants shall be limited to those established by applicable law and agreements between the Clearing Agency and Participants and between such Participants and such beneficial owners and must be exercised through a Participant in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Clearing Agency.

(h) Subject to Subsection 3.4(i), neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be under any obligation to deliver to any Participant or beneficial owner of Uncertificated Warrants, nor shall any Participant or beneficial owner of Uncertificated Warrants have any right to require the delivery of, a certificate or other instrument evidencing any interest in Series A Warrants.

(i) If there are Uncertificated Warrants and any of the following events occur:

(i) the Clearing Agency or the Company has notified the Warrant Agent that (i) the Clearing Agency is unwilling or unable to continue as the depository or (ii) the Clearing Agency ceases to be a clearing agency in good standing under applicable laws and, in either case, the Company is unable to locate a qualified successor depository within 90 days of delivery of such notice; or

(ii) the Company or the Clearing Agency is required by applicable law, or otherwise determines, to take the action contemplated in this Subsection 3.4(i);

then one or more definitive fully registered Warrant Certificates shall be, in exchange for such Uncertificated Warrants, issued and delivered by the Warrant Agent in accordance with the instructions provided by the Clearing Agency pursuant to Subsection 3.4(j).

(j) Fully registered Warrant Certificates issued pursuant to Subsection 3.4(i), shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as the Clearing Agency shall instruct the Warrant Agent, provided that the aggregate number of Series A Warrants represented by such Warrant Certificates shall be equal to the aggregate number of the Uncertificated Warrants exchanged. Neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively act and rely on, and shall be protected in acting and relying on, such instructions. Upon exchange of an Uncertificated Warrant for one or more Warrant Certificates in definitive form, such Uncertificated Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent.

(k) If definitive Warrant Certificates have been issued and thereafter the Company advises the Warrant Agent of the availability of book-based entry or other electronic issuance with a Clearing Agency in regard to such Series A Warrants, the Warrant Agent and the Company may agree to allow for the re-registration of such definitive Warrant Certificates under such procedure. Upon surrender by any such Warrantholder of its definitive Warrant accompanied by instructions for re-registration of the Warrant under such procedure, such Warrant shall thereafter be re-registered under such procedure and be subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.4 and Subsection 3.4(m), mutatis mutandis. The Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the Warrant Agent and the reasonable fees of the Warrant Agent associated with any termination of the use of such procedure and of any such re-registration of the definitive Series A Warrants under such procedure.

(l) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the terms of the Series A Warrants to the contrary, neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent nor any agent thereof shall have any responsibility or liability for (i) the records maintained by the Clearing Agency or Participants relating to the Series A Warrants or the accounts maintained by them, (ii) maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such Series A Warrants, (iii) any advice or representation made or given by the Clearing Agency or Participants with respect to the rules and regulations of the Clearing Agency or the Participants, or (iv) any action to be taken by the Clearing Agency or the Participants or any failure by the Clearing Agency or the Participants to take any action.

(m) The provisions of Section 6.1 with respect to the transfer of Series A Warrants are subject to the provisions of this Section 3.4.

ARTICLE IV.

TERMS AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

Section 4.1 Exercise Period and Expiration. Subject to the provisions of the Series A Warrants and this Agreement, Series A Warrants may be exercised by the Holder thereof at any time and from time to time during the period commencing on the first day of the thirty-seventh month after the Issue Date and terminating at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Expiration Date. Any Series A Warrant not exercised prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Expiration Date, shall become permanently and irrevocably null and void at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Expiration Date, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease at such time.

Section 4.2 Exercise of Warrants.

(a) Exercise of Certificated Warrants. The holder of any Certificated Warrant may at any time and from time to time during the period commencing on the first day of the thirty-seventh month after the Issue Date and terminating at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Expiration Date, exercise the right thereby conferred, to be issued Warrant Shares by surrendering to the Warrant Agent at its office in Toronto, Ontario, or at the Co-Agent's office in Providence, Rhode Island or to any other person or at any other place designated by the Company with the approval of the Warrant Agent, during normal business hours on a Business Day, the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant and a duly completed and executed notice of exercise substantially in the form set out in such Warrant Certificate, together with a certified cheque, bank draft or money order in lawful money of the United States, payable to or to the order of the Company in an amount equal to US$l (as the same may be hereafter adjusted pursuant to Article V, the “Exercise Price”) multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares subscribed for.

Any notice of exercise referred to in this section, shall be signed by the Warrantholder, or its executors or administrators or other legal representatives or an attorney of the Warrantholder, duly appointed by an instrument in writing satisfactory to the Warrant Agent.

(b) Exercise of Uncertificated Warrants. A beneficial owner of Uncertificated Warrants who desires to exercise Series A Warrants must do so by causing a Participant to deliver to the Clearing Agency on behalf of the entitlement holder, notice of the owner's intention to exercise Series A Warrants in a manner acceptable to the Clearing Agency. Forthwith, upon receipt by the Clearing Agency of such notice, as well as payment for the Exercise Price, the Clearing Agency shall deliver to the Warrant Agent confirmation of its intention to exercise Warrants (“Confirmation”) in a manner acceptable to the Warrant Agent, including by electronic means through the book entry registration system.

Payment representing the Exercise Price must be provided to the appropriate office of the Participant in a manner acceptable to it. A notice in the form acceptable to the Participant and payment for such beneficial holder should be provided to the Participant sufficiently in advance so as to permit the Participant to deliver notice and payment to the Clearing Agency and for the Clearing Agency in turn to deliver notice and payment to the Warrant Agent prior to the Expiration Date. The Clearing Agency will initiate the exercise by way of Confirmation and forward the Exercise Price electronically to the Warrant Agent and the Warrant Agent will execute the exercise by issuing to the Clearing Agent through the book entry registration system the Common Shares to which the exercising Warrantholder is entitled pursuant to the exercise. Any expense associated with the exercise process will be for the account of the entitlement holder exercising the Series A Warrants and/ or the Participant exercising the Series A Warrants on its behalf.

By causing a Participant to deliver notice to the Clearing Agency, a Warrantholder shall be deemed to have irrevocably surrendered his or her Series A Warrants so exercised and appointed such Participant to act as his or her exclusive settlement agent with respect to the exercise and the receipt of Warrant Shares in connection with the obligations arising from such exercise.

Any notice which the Clearing Agency determines to be incomplete, not in proper form or not duly executed shall for all purposes be void and of no effect and the exercise to which it relates shall be considered for all purposes not to have been exercised thereby. A failure by a Participant to exercise or to give effect to the settlement thereof in accordance with the Warrantholder's instructions will not give rise to any obligations or liability on the part of the Company or Warrant Agent to the Participant or the Warrantholder.

(c) Any exercise referred to in this section, shall require that the entire Exercise Price for Warrant Shares subscribed must be paid at the time of subscription and such Exercise Price and original exercise notice executed by the Registered

Holder the Confirmation from the Clearing Agency must be received by the Warrant Agent prior to the Expiration Date.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 4.2, Series A Warrants may only be exercised pursuant to this Section 4.2 by or on behalf of a Registered Holder, except the Clearing Agency or Warrantholder, as applicable, who makes the certifications set forth on the exercise notice.

Section 4.3 Redemption. If, and only if, the closing price of the Common Shares equals or exceeds US$6.00 per Common Share for twenty consecutive trading days on the NYSE, or such other market or exchange as the Common Shares trade on or are quoted at such time, the Company shall, after the first anniversary of the Issue Date, have the option to redeem the Series A Warrants at a price of US$0.25 per Series A Warrant. In order to exercise such option to redeem the Series A Warrants, the Company must issue thirty calendar days' notice of its intent to redeem the Series A Warrants within three Business Days of a date for which the closing price of the Common Shares equaled or exceeded US$6.00 for twenty consecutive trading days on the NYSE, or such other market or exchange as the Common Shares trade on or are quoted at such time. Upon issuance of such notice, Holders shall have the option to exercise the Series A Warrants in accordance with Section 4.2 hereof from the date such notice is provided until the date the Series A Warrants are redeemed.

Section 4.4 Effect of Exercise.

(a) Effect of Exercise. Upon the exercise of any Certificated Warrants or Uncertificated Warrants in accordance with Section 4.2 hereof, the Warrant Shares thereby issuable shall be deemed to have been issued, and the person or persons to whom such Warrant Shares are to be issued shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record thereof, on the Business Day on which such Series A Warrant is validly exercised (or deemed to be validly exercised in accordance with Article IV hereof), unless the transfer registers for the Warrant Shares are closed on that date, in which case such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued and such person or persons shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record thereof on the date on which such transfer registers are reopened, but such Warrant Shares shall be issued on the basis of the number of Warrant Shares to which such person or persons were entitled on such exercise date.

(b) Exercise of Certificated Warrants. As soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days after the surrender to the Warrant Agent of Warrant Certificates and instructions received in good order in accordance with Section 4.2, the Warrant Agent shall mail by way of first class insured mail to the person or persons in whose name or names the Warrant Shares thereby issued have been issued, at his, her, its or their respective addresses, or, if so specified, cause to be delivered to such person or persons at the place where the Warrant Certificates evidencing such Series A Warrants were surrendered, certificates representing the Warrant Shares so issued.

(c) Exercise of Uncertificated Warrants. As soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days after the Clearing Agency has initiated the exercise by way of Confirmation and has delivered the Exercise Price electronically to the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Agent will execute the exercise by issuing to the Clearing Agent through the book entry registration system the Common Shares to which the exercising Warrantholder is entitled pursuant to the exercise, the Warrant Agent shall cause the share position of the Clearing Agency on the register of Common Shares to be increased by the number of Warrant Shares issued in connection with the exercise of such Uncertificated Warrants.

(d) Issue to Other than Holder. If any Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to any Series A Warrants are to be issued to a person or persons other than the Warrantholder, the Warrantholder must pay to the Company or to the Warrant Agent on its behalf an amount equal to all exigible transfer taxes or other government charges, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent will be required to issue or deliver any such Warrant Shares unless or until such amount has been so paid or the Warrantholder has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such taxes and charges have been paid or that no such taxes or charges are owing.

Section 4.5 Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of Series A Warrants such number of Warrant Shares as may be from time to time issuable upon exercise in full of the Series A Warrants, such that the Company may validly and legally issue all Warrant Shares in compliance with this Section. All Warrant Shares shall be duly authorized, and when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. If at any time prior to the Expiration Date the number

and kind of authorized but unissued shares of the Company's capital stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise in full of the Series A Warrants, the Company will promptly take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. The Company agrees that its issuance of Series A Warrants shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the issuance of Warrant Shares to issue Common Shares upon the exercise of the Series A Warrants. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will not increase the stated or par value per share, if any, of the Common Shares above the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such increase in stated or par value.

Section 4.6 Listing. Prior to the issuance of any Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Series A Warrants, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to secure the listing of such Common Shares or other Warrant Shares upon each national securities exchange, stock market or automated quotation system, if any, upon which Common Shares (or securities of the same class as such other Warrant Shares, if applicable) are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance upon exercise of the Series A Warrants) and shall use reasonable best efforts to maintain, so long as any other Common Shares (or, as applicable, other securities) shall be so listed, such listing of all Warrant Shares from time to time issuable upon the exercise of the Series A Warrants.

Section 4.7 Compliance with Law.

(a) If any Warrant Shares are required under any federal or state law or applicable governing rule or regulation of any national securities exchange, to be registered with or approved by any governmental authority or listed on any such national securities exchange before such shares may be issued upon exercise, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause such shares to be duly registered or approved by such governmental authority or listed on the relevant national securities exchange, as the case may be.

(b) The Series A Warrants shall not be exercisable and the Company shall not be obligated to issue Warrant Shares unless, at the time a holder seeks to exercise the Series A Warrants, a prospectus relating to Warrant Shares is current and a registration statement for the Warrant Shares is effective or qualified or the issuance of Warrant Shares is deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the jurisdiction of residence of the holder of the Series A Warrants.

Section 4.8 Partial Exercise of Warrants; Fractions.

(a) Partial Exercise. The holder of any Series A Warrants may exercise his or her right to acquire a number of whole Common Shares less than the aggregate number which the holder is entitled to acquire. In the event of any exercise of a number of Series A Warrants less than the number which the holder is entitled to exercise, the holder of Series A Warrants upon such exercise shall, in addition, be entitled to receive, without charge therefor, a new Warrant Certificate(s), bearing the same legend, if applicable, or other appropriate evidence of Series A Warrants, in respect of the balance of the Series A Warrants held by such holder and which were not then exercised.

(b) Fractions. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Warrant Shares in satisfaction of its obligations hereunder and no cash or other consideration will be paid in lieu of fractional Warrant Shares. Any subscription for fractional Warrant Shares will be deemed to be a subscription for the next lowest whole number of Warrant Shares.

ARTICLE V.

ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

PURCHASABLE AND OF EXERCISE PRICE

The Exercise Price and the number and kind of Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as provided in this Article V.

Section 5.1 Adjustment of Exercise Price and Warrant Shares. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares purchasable under the Series A Warrants are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 5.1.

(a) In case the Company shall at any time:

(i) subdivide the outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of shares other than pursuant to Section 5.1 (b), the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, effective from and after the record date of such subdivision; and

(ii) combine the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares by a reverse split or otherwise, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased, effective from and after the record date of such combination.

Upon any adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 5.1 (a), the holder of any Series A Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price, the number of Warrant Shares, rounded down to the nearest whole share, obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder immediately prior to such adjustment by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

(b) In case the Company shall issue additional Common Shares as a special dividend on the Common Shares (a “Special Dividend”), from and after the day which is the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Special Dividend, the holder of any Series A Warrant shall, until a further adjustment, be entitled to purchase the number of Warrant Shares, rounded down to the nearest whole share, obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder immediately prior to said record date by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Common Shares outstanding after the issuance of the Special Dividend, calculated on a fully diluted basis assuming the conversion of all outstanding convertible securities and the exercise of all outstanding options, warrants or other rights (including those with respect to convertible securities), and the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to said record date, calculated on a fully diluted basis assuming the conversion of all outstanding convertible securities and the exercise of all outstanding options, warrants, or other rights (including those with respect to convertible securities). Upon each adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.1(b), the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment shall be reduced to an amount determined by dividing the product obtained by multiplying such Exercise Price by the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder immediately following such adjustment.

Section 5.2 Reorganization or Reclassification. If at any time while there are Series A Warrants outstanding there shall be any reorganization or reclassification of the Common Shares of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for in Section 5.1, or a Fundamental Transaction (as defined below)), the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon exercise of its Series A Warrant(s) prior to the Expiration Date and upon payment of the Exercise Price, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company resulting from such reorganization or reclassification, as the case may be, to which a holder of the Common Shares, deliverable upon the exercise of a Series A Warrant, would have been entitled upon such reorganization or reclassification if such Series A Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such reorganization or reclassification, and in any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) shall be made in the application of the provisions with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions set forth herein (including the adjustment of the Exercise Price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of a Series A Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property thereafter deliverable upon exercise. The provisions of this Section 5.2 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers, other dispositions or similar transactions.

Section 5.3 Form of Warrant After Adjustments. The form of the Warrant Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or the number or kind of the Warrant Shares, and Series A Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in the Series A Warrants, as initially issued. The Company, however, may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of Warrant Certificate that it may deem appropriate to give effect to such adjustments and that does not affect the substance of the Warrant Certificate (including the rights, duties or obligations of the Warrant Agent), and any Warrant Certificate thereafter issued, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant Certificate, may be in the form so changed.

Section 5.4 Fundamental Transactions. If any (i) capital reorganization, reclassification of the Company Securities, consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Company with another entity in which the issued and outstanding stock of the Company (excluding treasury shares) immediately prior to such transaction represents less than 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately after such transaction, (ii) sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to another entity, or (iii) similar transaction requiring shareholder approval shall be effected (any such transaction being hereinafter referred to as a “Fundamental Transaction”), then the holders shall be permitted to exercise any Series A Warrants with the provisions of Section 4.2 immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction. If a holder does not exercise a Series A Warrant prior to the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, then such Series A Warrant shall not at any time be, or become, exercisable and shall expire (and become null and void) automatically with no further action required on behalf of the Company upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction.

Section 5.5 Notice to Warrant Holders.

(a) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number and/or kind of Warrant Shares or the Exercise Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall (i) prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, forthwith to the Warrant Agent a statement setting forth the adjusted number and/or kind of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Series A Warrants and the Exercise Price of such Common Shares after such adjustment, the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation by which adjustment was made, and (ii) cause the Warrant Agent to give written notice to each Holder in the manner provided in Section 9.2 below, of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.

(b) Notice of Fundamental Transactions. In the event that the Company shall propose to effect a Fundamental Transaction, then the Company shall send to the Warrant Agent a notice and the shall cause the Warrant Agent within five days after receipt by the Warrant Agent to give written notice (in such form as shall be furnished to the Warrant Agent by the Company) to each Holder in the manner provided in Section 9.2 of such Fundamental Transaction. Such notice shall specify (i) the record date, if any, for the Fundamental Transaction, (ii) the date such Fundamental Transaction is expected to take place, and (iii) the effect, if any, of such action on the Common Shares, if any. Such notice shall be given to Holders at least 15 days prior to the date of the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, but in no event shall the Company be required to give notice prior to public announcement if the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.

Section 5.6 No Adjustment. No adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Series A Warrant; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this Section 5.6 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations shall be made to the nearest cent and to the nearest one-hundredth of a Common Share, as the case may be.

ARTICLE VIII.

CONCERNING THE WARRANT AGENT AND OTHER MATTERS

Section 8.1 Payment of Taxes. The Company will from time to time promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company or the Warrant Agent in respect of the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Series A Warrants, but any taxes or charges in connection with the issuance of Series A Warrants or Warrant Shares in any name other than that of the Holder of the Series A Warrants shall be paid by such Holder; and in any such case, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Series A Warrants or Warrant Shares until such taxes or charges shall have been paid or it is established to the Company's satisfaction that no tax or charge is due.

Section 8.2 Resignation, Consolidation or Merger of Warrant Agent.

(a) Appointment of Successor Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder after giving sixty (60) days' notice in writing to the Company. If the office of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint in writing a successor Warrant Agent in place of the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of sixty (60) days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Warrant Agent or by the Registered Holder of a Series A Warrant (who shall, with such notice, submit his Series A Warrant for inspection by the Company), then the Warrant Agent shall appoint a successor Warrant Agent or shall petition a court to approve a successor Warrant Agent at the Company's cost. After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and upon request of any successor Warrant Agent, the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations.

(b) Notice of Successor Warrant Agent. In the event a successor Warrant Agent shall be appointed, the Company shall (i) give notice thereof to the predecessor Warrant Agent and the transfer agent for the Common Shares not later than the effective date of any such appointment, and (ii) cause written notice thereof to be delivered to each Registered Holder at such holder's address appearing on the Warrant Register. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section

8.2(b) or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the removal of the Warrant Agent or the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent, as the case may be.

(i)

Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be converted, consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party shall be the successor Warrant Agent under this Agreement, without any further act or deed, if such person would be eligible for appointment as a successor Warrant Agent under the provisions of Section 8.2(a). If any of the Warrant Certificates have been countersigned but not delivered at the time such successor to the Warrant Agent succeeds under this Agreement, any such successor to the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature of the original Warrant Agent; and if at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, any successor to the Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrant Certificates either in the name of the predecessor Warrant Agent or in the name of the successor Warrant Agent; and in all such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement.

(ii)

If at any time the name of the Warrant Agent is changed and at such time any of the Warrant Certificates have been countersigned but not delivered, the Warrant Agent whose name has changed may adopt the countersignature under its prior name; and if at that time any of the Warrant Certificates have not been countersigned, the Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrant Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement.

Section 8.3 Fees and Expenses of Warrant Agent.

(a) Remuneration. The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent reasonable remuneration for its services as Warrant Agent hereunder and will reimburse the Warrant Agent upon demand for all expenditures that the Warrant Agent may reasonably incur in the execution of its duties hereunder.

(b) Further Assurances. The Company agrees to perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments, and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent for the carrying out or performing of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 8.4 Liability of Warrant Agent.

(a) Reliance on Company Statement. Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a statement signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Executive Vice President and delivered to the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may rely upon such statement for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Indemnity. The Company covenants and agrees to indemnify and to hold the Warrant Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns harmless against any costs, expenses (including reasonable fees of its legal counsel), losses or damages, which may be paid, incurred or suffered by or to which it may become subject, arising from or out of, directly or indirectly, any claims or liability resulting from its actions as Warrant Agent pursuant hereto; provided, that such covenant and agreement does not extend to, and the Warrant Agent shall not be indemnified with respect to, such costs, expenses, losses and damages incurred or suffered by the Warrant Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns as a result of, or arising out of, its gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be responsible for any settlement made without its prior written consent. No provision in this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Warrant Agent from liability for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

(c) Exclusions. The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the validity of this Agreement or with respect to the validity or execution of any Series A Warrant (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any Series A Warrant; nor shall it be responsible to make any adjustments required under the provisions of Article V hereof or responsible for the manner, method or amount of any such adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such adjustment; nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Series A Warrant or as to whether any Warrant Shares will, when issued, be valid and fully paid and non-assessable.

(d) Experts. The Warrant Agent may employ such counsel, accountants, engineers, appraisers, other experts, agents, agencies and advisors as it may reasonably require for the purpose of discharging its duties under this Agreement, and the Warrant Agent may act and shall be protected in acting in good faith on the opinion or advice or on information obtained from any such parties and shall not be responsible for any misconduct on the part of any of them. The reasonable costs of such services shall be added to and be part of the Warrant Agent's fee hereunder.

(e) Funding.

Warrant Certificate for _________________________ Series A


Certificate No. 2013 - Al	Warrants, each entitling the holder to acquire one Common Share (subject to adjustment as provided for in the Series A Warrant Agreement (as defined below))

THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received,______________________________________ (the “Warrantholder”) is the registered holder of the number of Series A common share purchase warrants (the “Series A Warrants”) of Kingsway Financial Services Inc. (the “Corporation”) specified above, and is entitled, on exercise of these Series A Warrants upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Series A Warrant Agreement, to purchase at any time starting on the first day of the thirty-seventh month after the date of the issuance of the Series A Warrants until any time before 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) (the “Expiry Time”) on , 2020 (the “Expiry Date”), one common share in the capital of the Corporation (a “Common Share”) for each Series A Warrant, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Series A Warrant Agreement.

The right to purchase Common Shares may only be exercised by the Warrantholder within the time set forth above by:


(a)	duly completing and executing the exercise form (the “Exercise Form”) attached hereto; and

(b)

surrendering this warrant certificate (the “Warrant Certificate”), with the Exercise Form to Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the “Warrant Agent”) at the principal office of the Warrant Agent, in the city of Toronto, Province of Ontario, or to Computershare Inc. (the “Co-Agent”) at its office in Providence, Rhode Island, together with a certified cheque drawn against a U.S. or Canadian bank, U.S. or Canadian bank draft or U.S. or Canadian postal money order in the lawful money of the United States payable to the order of the Company in an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price (as defined below) for the Common Shares so subscribed for.

The surrender of this Warrant Certificate, the duly completed Exercise Form and payment as provided above will be deemed to have been effected only on personal delivery thereof to the Warrant Agent at its principal office in the city of Toronto, Province of Ontario or to the Co-Agent at its office in Providence, Rhode Island.

Subject to adjustment thereof in the events and in the manner set forth in the Series A Warrant Agreement, the exercise price payable for each Common Share upon the exercise of each Series A Warrant is US$l per Common Share (the “Exercise Price”).

The Corporation may redeem the Series A Warrants at a price of US$0.25 per warrant if, and only if, the closing price of the Common Shares equals or exceeds US$6.00 per Common Share for twenty consecutive trading days on the NYSE or such other market or exchange as the Common Shares trade on or are quoted at such time; but in any event no earlier than the first anniversary of the date of issuance of the Series A Warrants.

Certificates for the Common Shares subscribed for will be mailed to the persons specified in the Exercise Form at their respective addresses specified therein or, if so specified in the Exercise Form, delivered to such persons at the office of the Warrant Agent where this Warrant Certificate is surrendered. If fewer Common Shares are purchased than the number that can be purchased pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, the holder hereof will be entitled to receive

without charge a new Warrant Certificate in respect of the balance of the Series A Warrants not so exercised. No fractional Common Shares will be issued upon exercise of any Warrant.

This Warrant Certificate evidences Series A Warrants issued or issuable under the provisions of a warrant agreement (which agreement together with all other instruments supplemental or ancillary thereto is herein referred to as the “Series A Warrant Agreement”) dated as of l, 2013 between the Corporation and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as Warrant Agent, to which Series A Warrant Agreement reference is hereby made for particulars of the rights of the holders of Series A Warrants, the Corporation and the Warrant Agent in respect thereof and the terms and conditions on which the Series A Warrants are issued and held, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Series A Warrant Agreement were herein set forth, to all of which the Warrantholder, by acceptance hereof, assents. The Corporation will furnish to the Warrantholder, on request and without charge, a copy of the Series A Warrant Agreement.

On presentation at the principal office of the Warrant Agent as set out above, subject to the provisions of the Series A Warrant Agreement and on compliance with the reasonable requirements of the Warrant Agent, one or more Warrant Certificates may be exchanged for one or more Warrant Certificates entitling the holder thereof to purchase in the aggregate an equal number of Common Shares as are purchasable under the Warrant Certificates so exchanged.

The Series A Warrant Agreement contains provisions for the adjustment of the Exercise Price and the

number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of Series A Warrants, in the events and in the

manner set forth therein.

The Series A Warrant Agreement also contains provisions making binding on all holders of Series A Warrants outstanding thereunder resolutions passed at meetings of holders of Series A Warrants held in accordance with the provisions of the Series A Warrant Agreement and instruments in writing signed by holders of Series A Warrants representing a specific majority of the then outstanding Series A Warrants.

Nothing contained in this Warrant Certificate, the Series A Warrant Agreement or elsewhere shall be construed as conferring upon the holder hereof any right or interest whatsoever as a holder of Common Shares or any other right or interest except as herein and in the Series A Warrant Agreement expressly provided. In the event of any discrepancy between anything contained in this Warrant Certificate and the terms and conditions of the Series A Warrant Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Series A Warrant Agreement shall govern.

Series A Warrants may only be transferred in compliance with the conditions of the Series A Warrant Agreement on the register to be kept by the Warrant Agent in the City of Toronto, Province of Ontario, or such other registrar as the Corporation, with the approval of the Warrant Agent, may appoint at such place or places, if any, as may be designated, upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate to the Warrant Agent or other registrar accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and execution satisfactory to the Warrant Agent or other registrar and upon compliance with the conditions prescribed in the Series A Warrant Agreement and with such reasonable requirements as the Warrant Agent or other registrar may prescribe and upon the transfer being duly noted thereon by the Warrant Agent or other registrar. Time is of the essence hereof.

This Warrant Certificate will not be valid for any purpose until it has been countersigned by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent from time to time under the Series A Warrant Agreement.

The parties hereto have declared that they have required that this Series A Warrant Agreement and all other documents related hereto be in the English language only. Les parties aux présentes déclarent qu'elles ont exigé que la présente convention, de même que tous les documents s'y rapportant, soient rédigés en anglais seulement.
