|

of any securities regulatory authority or other governmental authority or compliance with any other requirement under any law before such Warrant Shares may be validly issued (other than the filing of a prospectus or similar disclosure
document), the Company agrees to take such actions as may be necessary to secure such filing, registration, approval or compliance, as the case may be.

Adjustments:
|
(a)
|
Adjustment: The rights of the
holder of this Warrant, including the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants, will be adjusted from time to time in the events and in the manner provided in, and in accordance with the provisions of, this
Section. The purpose and intent of the adjustments provided for in this Section is to ensure that the rights and obligations of the Holder are neither diminished or enhanced as a result of any of the events set forth in paragraphs (b), (c)
or (d) of this Section. Accordingly, the provisions of this Section shall be interpreted and applied in accordance with such purpose and intent.
|
(b)
|
The Exercise Price in effect at any date will be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
|
6
(i)
|
Share Reorganization: If and
whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, the Company shall (A) subdivide, redivide or change the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares, (B) consolidate, combine or reduce the outstanding Common Shares
into a lesser number of Common Shares, or (C) fix a record date for the issue of Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares by way of a stock
dividend or other distribution other than a Dividend Paid in the Ordinary Course, then, in each such event, the Exercise Price shall, on the record date for such event or, if no record date is fixed, the effective date of such event, be
adjusted so that it will equal the rate determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such date before
giving effect to such event, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such date after giving effect to such event. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such event shall occur.
Any such issue of Common Shares by way of a stock dividend shall be deemed to have been made on the record date for such stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under paragraphs 11(b)(i) and
(ii) hereof.
|
(ii)
|
Rights Offering: If and whenever
at any time during the Adjustment Period, the Company shall fix a record date for the issue of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares entitling the holders thereof, within a period expiring
not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per
share) less than 95% of the Current Market Price on such record date, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it will equal the rate determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such
record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of Common Shares equal to the number arrived at by dividing the aggregate price of the total number
of additional Common Shares so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered) by such Current Market Price, and of which the denominator shall be
the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the total number of additional Common Shares so offered for subscription or purchase (or into or for which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are
convertible or exchangeable). Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made
successively whenever such a record date is fixed, provided that if two or more such record dates referred to in this paragraph 11(b)(ii) are fixed within a period of 25 Trading Days, such adjustment will be made successively as if each of
such record dates occurred on the earliest of such record dates. To the extent that any such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price shall then be readjusted to the Exercise Price
which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be.
|
7
(iii)
|
Distribution: If and whenever
at any time during the Adjustment Period, the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares of (A) shares of any class other than Common Shares whether of the
Company or any other corporation, (B) rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares or property or other assets of the Company (other than a Rights Offering as
described above), (C) evidences of indebtedness, or (D) cash, securities or other property or assets then, in each such case and if such distribution does not constitute a Dividend Paid in the Ordinary Course, or fall under clauses (i) or
(ii) above, the Exercise Price will be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it will equal the rate determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the
total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Market Price on the earlier of such record date and the date on which the Company announces its intention to make such distribution, less the aggregate
fair market value (as determined by the directors, acting reasonably, at the time such distribution is authorized) of such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences of indebtedness or cash, securities or other property or assets so
distributed, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Current Market Price. Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed, provided that if two or more such record dates
referred to in this paragraph 11(b)(iii) are fixed within a period of 25 Trading Days, such adjustment will be made successively as if each of such record dates occurred on the earliest of such record dates. To the extent that any such
rights, options or warrants so distributed are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price shall then be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon such rights, options or warrants or
evidences of indebtedness or cash, securities or other property or assets actually distributed or based upon the number or amount of securities or the property or assets actually issued or distributed upon the exercise of such rights,
options or warrants, as the case may be.
|
(c)
|
Reclassifications: If and
whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, there is (A) any reclassification of or amendment to the outstanding Common Shares, any change of the Common Shares into other shares or any other reorganization of the Company (other than
as described in subsection 11(b) hereof), (B) any consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, merger or other form of business combination of the Company with or into any other corporation resulting in any reclassification of the outstanding
Common Shares, any change of the Common Shares into other shares or any other reorganization of the Company, or (C) any sale, lease, exchange or transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an
entirety to another corporation or entity, then, in each such event, the Holder of this Warrant which is thereafter exercised shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which such Holder was
theretofore entitled upon such exercise, the kind and number or amount of shares or other securities or property which such Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such event if, on the effective date thereof, such Holder
had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which such Holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise. If necessary as a result of any such event, appropriate adjustments will be made in the application of the
provisions set forth in this subsection with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder of this Warrant Certificate to the end that the provisions set forth in this subsection will thereafter correspondingly be made
applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant. Any such adjustments will be made by and set forth in an instrument
supplemental hereto approved by the directors, acting reasonably, and shall for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.
|
8
(d)
|
If at any time during the Adjustment Period any adjustment or readjustment in the Exercise Price shall occur pursuant to the
provisions of subsection 11(b) or 11(c) of this Warrant Certificate, then the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the subsequent exercise of the Warrants shall be simultaneously adjusted or readjusted, as the case may be, by
multiplying the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment by a fraction which shall be the reciprocal of the fraction used in the adjustment or readjustment
of the Exercise Price.
|
12.
|
Rules Regarding
Calculation of Adjustment of Exercise Price:
|
(a)
|
The adjustments provided for in Section 11 are cumulative and will, in the case of adjustments to the Exercise Price, be
computed to the nearest whole Warrant Share and will be made successively whenever an event referred to therein occurs, subject to the following subsections of this Section 12.
|
(b)
|
No adjustment in the Exercise Price is required to be made unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% in
the prevailing Exercise Price and no adjustment in the Exercise Price is required unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least one one-hundredth of a Warrant Share; provided, however, that any adjustments which, except for
the provisions of this subsection, would otherwise have been required to be made, will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustments.
|
(c)
|
No adjustment in the Exercise Price will be made in respect of any event described in Section 11, other than the events
referred to in clauses 11(1)(c), if the Holder is entitled to participate in such event on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as if the
Holder had exercised this Warrant prior to or on the effective date or record date of such event.
|
(d)
|
No adjustment in the Exercise Price will be made under Section 11 in respect of the issue from time to time of Common Shares
issuable from time to time as Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course to holders of Common Shares who exercise an option or election to receive substantially equivalent dividends in Common Shares in lieu of receiving a cash dividend.
|
(e)
|
If at any time a question or dispute arises with respect to adjustments provided for in Section 11, such question or dispute
will be conclusively determined by the auditor of the Company or, if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such other firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by action of the directors of the Company and any such
determination, subject to regulatory approval and absent manifest error, will be binding upon the Company and the Holder. The Company will provide such auditor or chartered accountant with access to all necessary records of the Company.
|
9
(f)
|
In case the Company after the date of issuance of this Warrant takes any action affecting the Common Shares, other than
action described in Section 11, which in the opinion of the board of directors of the Company would materially affect the rights of the Holder, the Exercise Price will be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time, by action of the
directors of the Company in their sole discretion, acting reasonably and in good faith, but subject in all cases to any necessary regulatory approval. Failure of the taking of action by the directors of the Company so as to provide for an
adjustment on or prior to the effective date of any action by the Company affecting the Common Shares will be conclusive evidence that the board of directors of the Company has determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the
circumstances.
|
(g)
|
If the Company sets a record date to determine the holders of the Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive
any dividend or distribution or sets a record date to take any other action and, thereafter and before the distribution to such shareholders of any such dividend or distribution or the taking of any other action, decides not to implement
its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution or take such other action, then no adjustment in the Exercise Price will be required by reason of the setting of such record date.
|
(h)
|
In the absence of a resolution of the directors of the Company fixing a record date for any event which would require any
adjustment to this Warrant, the Company will be deemed to have fixed as the record date therefor the date on which the event is effected.
|
(i)
|
As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require any adjustment to the Warrant Shares issuable under
this Warrant, including the Exercise Price, the Company shall take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company or any successor to the Company or successor to the undertaking or assets of the Company have unissued
and reserved in its authorized capital and may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all the shares or other securities which the Holder is entitled to receive on the full exercise thereof in accordance with the
provisions hereof.
|
(j)
|
The Company will from time to time, immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or
readjustment as provided in Section 11, forthwith give notice to the Holder specifying the event requiring such adjustment or readjustment and the results thereof, including the resulting Exercise Price.
|
(k)
|
The Company covenants to and in favour of the Holder that so long as this Warrant remains outstanding, it will give notice
to the Holder of the effective date or of its intention to fix a record date for any event referred to in Section 11 whether or not such action would give rise to an adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number and type of securities
issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, and, in each case, such notice shall specify the particulars of such event and the record date and the effective date for such event; provided that the Company shall only be required to specify in
such notice such particulars of such event as have been fixed and determined on the date on which such notice is given. Such notice shall be given not less than 14 days in each case prior to such applicable record date or effective date.
|
10
(l)
|
In any case that an adjustment pursuant to Section 11 shall become effective immediately after a record date for or an
effective date of an event referred to herein, the Company may defer, until the occurrence and consummation of such event, issuing to the Holder of this Warrant, if exercised after such record date or effective date and before the
occurrence and consummation of such event, the additional Warrant Shares or other securities or property issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event, provided, however, that the Company will deliver to the
Holder an appropriate instrument evidencing the Holder’s right to receive such additional Warrant Shares or other securities or property upon the occurrence and consummation of such event and the right to receive any dividend or other
distribution in respect of such additional Warrant Shares or other securities or property declared in favour of the holders of record of Common Shares or of such other securities or property on or after the Exercise Date or such later date
as the Holder would, but for the provisions of this subsection, have become the holder of record of such additional Warrant Shares or of such other securities or property.
|
13.
|
Representation and
Warranty: The Company hereby represents and warrants with and to the Holder that the Company is duly authorized and has
all corporate and lawful power and authority to create and issue this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise hereof and perform its obligations hereunder and that this Warrant Certificate represents a valid, legal and
binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms.
|
14.
|
If Share Transfer Books
Closed: The Company shall not be required to deliver certificates for Warrant Shares while the share transfer books of
the Company are properly closed, prior to any meeting of shareholders or for the payment of dividends or for any other purpose and in the event of the surrender of any Warrant in accordance with the provisions hereof and the making of any
subscription and payment for the Warrant Shares called for thereby during any such period delivery of certificates for Warrant Shares may be postponed for a period not exceeding three (3) Business Days after the date of the re-opening of
said share transfer books provided that any such postponement of delivery of certificates shall be without prejudice to the right of the Holder, if the Holder has surrendered the same and made payment during such period, to receive such
certificates for the Warrant Shares called for after the share transfer books shall have been re-opened.

Lost Certificate: If the Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrants issued hereby becomes stolen, lost, mutilated or destroyed the Company shall issue and
countersign a new Warrant Certificate of like denomination, tenor and date as the Warrant Certificate so stolen, lost mutilated or destroyed provided that the Holder shall bear the reasonable cost of the issue thereof and in case of loss,
destruction or theft, shall, as a condition precedent to the issue thereof, furnish to the Company such evidence of ownership and of the loss, destruction or theft of the Warrant Certificate as shall be satisfactory to the Company, in its
sole discretion acting reasonably, and the Holder may also be required to furnish an indemnity in form satisfactory to the Company, in its sole discretion acting reasonably, and shall pay the reasonable charges of the Company in connection

Change of Control: If a Change of Control shall or is proposed to occur prior to the Expiry Date, the Company will procure that an offer to participate in
such Change of Control is made to all Holders in respect of all outstanding Warrants. Such offer will enable all Holders to participate (in whole or in part) at their election in such Change of Control by exercising their Warrants with the
resulting Common Shares participating on the same terms as all other Common Shares of the Company. The Company will use all reasonable endeavours to assist Holders to participate to the fullest extent that they wish in the Change of
Control including agreeing to a reduced period of time for notice of exercise of Warrants, issuing the arising Common Shares promptly to enable participation and, in respect of a Change of Control where holders of Common Shares will receive
a cash payment, establishing a mechanism whereby the Holder will not be required to pay the Exercise Price to the Company prior to receipt of the consideration under the Change of Control (ie the Company will procure an agreement between
the Holder and the offeror under the Change of Control for the arising Common Shares to participate in the Change of Control with the offeror to pay the Company the Exercise Price for each relevant Common Share participating due to the
exercise of the Warrants and the Holder to receive the difference between the consideration per Common Share and the Exercise Price). For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder will hold the right to elect whether their Warrants participate in
whole or part in a Change of Control. .
