(THE “ISSUER”) OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IN RESPECT THEREOF IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CDS & CO., OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CDS & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS & CO.), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED HOLDER HEREOF, CDS & CO., HAS A PROPERTY INTEREST IN THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HEREIN AND IT IS A VIOLATION OF ITS RIGHTS FOR ANOTHER PERSON TO HOLD, TRANSFER OR DEAL WITH THIS CERTIFICATE.”

The rights of a Subscription Receiptholder whose Subscription Receipts are held through CDS shall be exercised only through CDS and the CDS participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such holders and CDS and the CDS participants upon instructions from the CDS participants. Each of the Subscription Receipt Agent and the Company may deal with CDS for all purposes (including the making of payments) as the authorized representative of the respective Subscription Receiptholders and such dealing with CDS shall constitute satisfaction or performance, as applicable, of their respective obligations hereunder.

	(e)	For so long as Subscription Receipts are held through CDS, if any notice or other communication is required to be given to Subscription Receiptholders, the Subscription Receipt Agent will give such notices and communications to CDS.

	(f)	If the Company or CDS advises the Subscription Receipt Agent that CDS will discontinue the eligibility of Subscription Receipts, with or without cause, and the Company is unable to locate a qualified successor depositary, CDS ceases to be a recognized clearing agency under applicable Securities Laws or otherwise ceases to be eligible to be a depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed, or the Company gives notice to CDS that it is unwilling or unable to continue to have CDS hold the Subscription Receipts in the Book-Entry Only System or that it desires or has processed an entitlement requiring a withdrawal of Subscription Receipts, CDS shall surrender the Global Subscription Receipt to the Subscription Receipt Agent with instructions for registration of Subscription Receipts in the name and in the amount specified by CDS and the Company shall issue, and the Subscription Receipt Agent shall certify and deliver, the aggregate number of Subscription Receipts then outstanding in the form of definitive Subscription Receipt Certificates representing such Subscription Receipts.

ARTICLE 4
ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF COMMON SHARES

4.1 Definitions

In this Article, the terms “record date” and “effective date” where used herein shall mean the 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the relevant date.

4.2 Adjustment of Entitlement Number

The number of Common Shares to be issued upon the conversion of a Subscription Receipt shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in the manner provided in Section 4.3 and as follows:

- 24 -

(a)	If after the Closing Date and prior to the Conversion Date the Company shall:

	(i)	issue to all or substantially all the holders of the Common Shares, by way of a share distribution, share dividend or otherwise, Common Shares or Convertible Securities; or

	(ii)	subdivide its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares; or

	(iii)	combine or consolidate its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares,

		(any of these events being herein called a “Securities Reorganization”),

		the Entitlement Number shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date at which the holders of Common Shares are determined for the purposes of the Securities Reorganization to a number that is the product of (1) the Entitlement Number and (2) a fraction:

		(A)	the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding after giving effect to the Securities Reorganization; and

		(B)	the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date before giving effect to the Securities Reorganization.

		For the purposes of determining the number of Common Shares outstanding at any particular time for the purpose of this Subsection 4.2(a), there shall be included that number of Common Shares which would have resulted from the conversion at that time of all outstanding Convertible Securities.

(b)	If after the Closing Date and prior to the Conversion Date the Company shall issue or distribute to all or substantially all the holders of Common Shares (i) shares of any class other than Common Shares, or (ii) rights, options or warrants, or (iii) evidences of indebtedness, or (iv) any other assets (excluding any cash distributions resulting from a release of Escrowed Funds on the occurrence of a Termination Event pursuant to Section 6.5, and that issuance or distribution does not constitute a Securities Reorganization or a Rights Offering (as hereinafter defined) (any of those events being herein called a “Special Distribution”), the Entitlement Number shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date at which the holders of Common Shares are determined for purposes of the Special Distribution to an Entitlement Number that is the product of (1) the Entitlement Number in effect on the record date and (2) a fraction:

- 25 -

(i)	the numerator of which shall be the product of (i) the sum of the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date and (ii) the Current Market Price thereof on that date; and

(ii)	the denominator of which shall be:

	(A)	the product of (A) the sum of the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date and (B) the Current Market Price thereof on that date; less,

	(B)	the aggregate fair market value, as determined by the directors, whose determination shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive, of the shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or other assets issued or distributed in the Special Distribution;

Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. To the extent that the distribution of shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets if not so made or to the extent that any rights, options or warrants so distributed are not exercised, the Entitlement Number shall be readjusted to the Entitlement Number that would then be in effect based upon the shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets actually distributed or based upon the number of Common Shares or Convertible 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 the record date.

(c)

If after the Closing Date and prior to the Conversion Date there is (i) a reorganization of the Company; (ii) or a consolidation or merger or amalgamation of the Company with or into another entity including a transaction whereby all or substantially all of the Company’s undertaking and assets become the property of any other entity (any such event being herein called a “Capital Reorganization”) each holder of a Subscription Receipt shall be entitled to receive and shall accept, upon the conversion of the Subscription Receipts for Common Shares at any time after the effective date of the Capital Reorganization, in lieu of the number of Common Shares (and any other securities or properties to which holders are entitled upon the conversion of the Subscription Receipts) to which it, he or she was theretofore entitled upon the conversion of the Subscription Receipt, the aggregate number of Common Shares or other securities or property of the Company, or the continuing, successor or purchasing person, as the case may be, under the Capital Reorganization that the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, it, he or she had been the holder of the number of Common Shares (and any other securities to which holders are entitled upon the conversion of the Subscription Receipts) to which immediately before the transaction he or she was entitled upon the conversion of the Subscription Receipts. No Capital Reorganization shall be completed unless all necessary steps shall have been taken so that the holders shall thereafter be entitled to receive the number of Common Shares or other securities or property of the Company or of the continuing, successor or purchasing person, as the case may be, under the Capital Reorganization, subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with provisions the same, as nearly as may be possible, as those contained in this Section 4.2.

- 26 -

(d)

If after the Closing Date and prior to the Conversion Date the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of the Common Shares pursuant to which those holders are entitled to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Shares or Convertible Securities within a period of 45 days from the date of issue thereof at a price, or at a conversion price, of less than 95% of the Current Market Price at the record date for such distribution (any such issuance being herein called a “Rights Offering” and Common Shares that may be acquired in exercise of the Rights Offering or upon conversion of the Convertible Securities offered by the Rights Offering being herein called the “Offered Securities”), the Entitlement Number shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date at which holders of Common Shares are determined for the purposes of the Rights Offering to an Entitlement Number that is the product of (1) the Entitlement Number in effect on the record date and (2) a fraction:

(i)	the numerator of which shall be the sum of: (i) the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date plus; (ii) the number of Offered Securities offered pursuant to the Rights Offering or the maximum number of Offered Securities into which the Convertible Securities so offered pursuant to the Rights Offering may be converted, as the case may be; and

(ii)	the denominator of which shall be the sum of:

	(A)	the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date for the Rights Offering; and

	(B)	the number arrived at when (A) either the product of (1) the number of Offered Securities so offered and (2) the price at which those Common Shares are offered, or the product of (3) the conversion price thereof and (4) the maximum number of Offered Securities for or into which the Convertible Securities so offered pursuant to the Rights Offering may be converted, as the case may be, is divided by (B) the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on the record date.

Any Offered Securities owned by or held for the account of the Company shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such 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 Entitlement Number shall be readjusted to the Entitlement Number in effect immediately prior to the record date and the Entitlement Number shall be further adjusted based upon the number of Offered Securities (or Convertible Securities into Offered 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.

If the Company shall reclassify or otherwise change the outstanding Common Shares, the Entitlement Number shall be adjusted effective immediately upon the reclassification becoming effective so that holders shall be entitled to receive Common Shares as they would have received had the Subscription Receipts been converted immediately prior to the effective date, subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with provisions the same, as nearly as may be possible, as those contained in this Section 4.2.

4.3 Entitlement Number Adjustment Rules

The following rules and procedures shall be applicable to adjustments made pursuant to Section 4.2:

	(a)	the adjustments and readjustments provided for in Section 4.2 are cumulative and shall apply (without duplication) to successive issues, subdivisions, combinations, consolidations, distributions and any other events that require adjustment of the number of Common Shares to be issued or the number or kind of securities that can be acquired hereunder.

	(b)	No adjustment in the number of Common Shares to be issued shall be required unless the adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% of the number of Common Shares to be issued, provided, however, that any adjustments that, except for the provisions of this subsection would otherwise have been required to be made, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

	(c)	No adjustment in the number of Common Shares to be issued shall be made in respect of any events described in Section 4.2 if the holders are entitled to participate in the events on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as if their Subscription Receipts had been converted immediately prior to the effective date or record date of the events.

	(d)	If a dispute shall at any time arise with respect to adjustments of the number of Common Shares to be issued the dispute shall be conclusively determined by the Company’s Auditors or, if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by the directors and any such determination shall, absent manifest error, be binding upon the Company, the Subscription Receipt Agent and all holders.

	(e)	If the Company shall set a record date to determine the holders of Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive any distribution or any subscription or purchase rights in accordance with Section 4.2 and shall, thereafter, legally abandon its plans to pay or deliver the distribution or subscription or purchase rights, then no adjustment in the number of Common Shares to be issued shall be required by reason of the setting of the record date.

- 28 -

	(f)	If and whenever at any time prior to the Conversion Date, the Company shall take any action affecting or relating to the Common Shares, other than any action described in this Section, which in the opinion of the directors of the Company would prejudicially affect the rights of any holders, the number of Common Shares to be issued will be adjusted by the directors of the Company in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the directors of the Company, may in their sole discretion, subject to the approval of any stock exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed and posted for trading, reasonably determine to be equitable in the circumstances to such holders.

	(g)	As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment in any of the rights under the Subscription Receipts, the Company will use its best efforts to take any action which, in the opinion of Counsel to the Company, may be necessary in order that the Company, or any successor to the Company or successor to the undertaking or assets of the Company will be obligated to, and may validly and legally, issue all the Common Shares which the holders would be entitled to receive thereafter upon the conversion of such Subscription Receipts in accordance with the provisions hereof.

	(h)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, there shall be no adjustment of the Entitlement Number as a result of any transaction, reorganization, transfer, conveyance or action in respect of the Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants pursuant to the Definitive Agreement.

4.4 Postponement of Adjustment

In any case where the application of Section 4.2 results in an increase in the Entitlement Number taking effect immediately after the record date for or occurrence of a specific event, if any Subscription Receipts are converted after that record date or occurrence and prior to completion of the event or of the period for which a calculation is required to be made, the Company may postpone the issuance to the holder of the Subscription Receipts of the Common Shares to which the holder is entitled by reason of the increase in the number of Common Shares to be issued but the Common Shares shall be so issued and delivered to that holder upon completion of that event or of the period for which a calculation is required to be made, with the number of Common Shares adjusted for completion of that event or period, and the Company shall forthwith after the Conversion Date deliver to the person or persons in whose name or names the Common Shares are to be issued appropriate instruments evidencing the person’s or persons’ right to receive the Common Shares.

- 29 -

4.5	Notice of Certain Events

	(a)	Promptly upon the occurrence of the earlier of the effective date of or the record date for any event referred to in Sections 4.2 or 4.3 that requires an adjustment in the Entitlement Number, the Company shall:

		(i)	file with the Subscription Receipt Agent a certificate of the Company specifying the particulars of the event and, if determinable, the adjustment and computation of the adjustment and the Subscription Receipt Agent may act and rely absolutely on such certificate of the Company; and

		(ii)	give notice to the holders and to the Agent, of the particulars of the event and, if determinable, the adjustment.

	(b)	If notice has been given under Subsection 4.5(a) and the adjustment is not then determinable, the Company shall promptly, after the adjustment is determinable:

		(i)	file with the Subscription Receipt Agent a computation of the adjustment; and

		(ii)	give notice to the holders and to the Agent, of the adjustment.

4.6 Adjustment to Common Share Purchase Warrants

If any adjustment is required to be made under this Article 4, then the Common Share Purchase Warrants to be issued upon the conversion of the Subscription Receipts shall be similarly adjusted such that the number of Common Shares, and the exercise price of the Common Share Purchase Warrants are adjusted in a similar manner that the Common Shares were so adjusted hereunder.

4.7 Protection of Subscription Receipt Agent

Subject to the provisions of Article 10, the Subscription Receipt Agent:

	(a)	shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Subscription Receiptholder to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed in making the same;

	(b)	shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or kind or amount) of any Common Shares, Common Share Purchase Warrants or other securities or property which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exercise of the rights attaching to any Subscription Receipt; and

	(c)	shall be entitled to act and rely on any adjustment calculation of the Company, its directors or the Company’s Auditors.
