Corrupt Practices are understood as kickbacks and bribery. The conduct in question must involve the use of improper means (such as bribery) to violate or derogate a duty owed by the recipient in order for the payor to obtain an undue advantage or to avoid an obligation. Antitrust, securities and other violations of law that are not of this nature are excluded from the definition of corrupt practices.

It is acknowledged that foreign investment agreements, concessions and other types of contracts commonly require investors to make contributions for bona fide social development purposes or to provide funding for infrastructure unrelated to the project. Similarly, investors are often required or expected to make contributions to bona fide local charities. These practices are not viewed as Corrupt Practices for purposes of these definitions, so long as they are permitted under local law and fully disclosed in the payor’s books and records. Similarly, an investor will not be held liable for corrupt or fraudulent practices committed by entities that administer bona fide social development funds or charitable contributions.

In the context of conduct between private parties, the offering, giving, receiving or soliciting of corporate hospitality and gifts that are customary by internationally-accepted industry standards shall not constitute corrupt practices unless the action violates applicable law.

Payment by private sector persons of the reasonable travel and entertainment expenses of public officials that are consistent with existing practice under relevant law and international conventions will not be viewed as Corrupt Practices.

The World Bank Group² does not condone facilitation payments. For the purposes of implementation, the interpretation of “Corrupt Practices” relating to facilitation payments will take into account relevant law and international conventions pertaining to corruption.

Fraudulent Practices are intended to cover actions or omissions that are directed to or against a World Bank Group entity. It also covers Fraudulent Practices directed to or against a World Bank Group member country in connection with the award or implementation of a government contract or concession in a project financed by the World Bank Group. Frauds on other third parties are not condoned but are not specifically sanctioned in IFC, MIGA, or PRG operations. Similarly, other illegal behavior is not condoned, but will not be considered as a Fraudulent Practice for purposes of this Agreement.

Coercive Practices are actions undertaken for the purpose of bid rigging or in connection with public procurement or government contracting or in furtherance of a Corrupt Practice or a Fraudulent Practice.

Coercive Practices are threatened or actual illegal actions such as personal injury or abduction, damage to property, or injury to legally recognizable interests, in order to obtain an undue advantage or to avoid an obligation. It is not intended to cover hard bargaining, the exercise of legal or contractual remedies or litigation.

In case of any reclassification of the Common Shares or change of the Common Shares into other shares, or in case of the consolidation, merger, reorganization or amalgamation of the Company with or into any other corporation or entity which results in any reclassification of the outstanding Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other securities, or in case of any transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another person (any such event being hereinafter referred to as a “Reclassification of Common Shares”), at any time prior to the Expiry Time, the Holder shall, after the effective date of such Reclassification of Common Shares and upon exercise of the right to purchase Common Shares hereunder, be entitled to receive, and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which the Holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise, the kind and amount of shares and other securities or property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Reclassification of Common Shares if, on the effective date thereof, the Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which the Holder was theretofore entitled to acquire upon such exercise. No such Reclassification of Common Shares will be carried out unless, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, all appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this section 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 section shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may be reasonable in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants. Any such adjustment must be made by and set forth in an amendment to this Warrant Certificate.

If and whenever at any time prior to the Expiry Time the Company shall:

subdivide, redivide or change its then outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares;

reduce, combine or consolidate its then outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of shares; or

issue Common Shares, Participating Shares or Convertible Securities (both such terms as defined below in paragraph (g)) to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares by way of distribution on the Common Shares payable in Common Shares, Participating Shares or Convertible Securities;

(any such event being hereinafter referred to as “Capital Reorganization”) and any such event

results in an adjustment or readjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraph (c), the number of Common Shares purchasable pursuant to the Warrants shall be adjusted or readjusted contemporaneously with the adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price by multiplying the number of Common Shares purchasable on the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment or readjustment.

If and whenever at any time prior to the Expiry Time, the Company shall engage in a Capital Reorganization, the Exercise Price shall, effective immediately after the effective date, in the case of a subdivision or consolidation, or effective immediately after the record date, in the case of a distribution, be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such effective date or record date by a fraction: (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares and Participating Shares outstanding on such effective date or record date before giving effect to such Capital Reorganization; and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares and Participating Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Capital Reorganization. The number of Common Shares and Participating Shares outstanding shall include the deemed conversion into or exchange for Common Shares or Participating Shares of any Convertible Securities distributed pursuant to such Capital Reorganization. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this paragraph shall occur.

To the extent that such Capital Reorganization is not effected or any such Convertible Securities issued pursuant thereto 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 if such Capital Reorganization had not been effected, the record date in respect of such Capital Reorganization had not occurred, or if such expired Convertible Securities had not been issued.

Any issue of Common Shares, Participating Shares or Convertible Securities pursuant to the Capital Reorganization shall be deemed to have been made on the record date thereof for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under paragraphs (e) and (f).

If and whenever at any time prior to the Expiry Time, the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants (other than the Warrants evidenced hereby) to all or substantially all the holders of Common Shares entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 45 days after such record date, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares, Participating Shares or Convertible Securities at a price per share (or in the case of a Convertible Security the conversion or exchange price per share plus the issue price of such Convertible Security) that is less than 95% of the Current Value (as defined below) of a Common Share on such record date (any such event being hereinafter referred to as a “Rights Offering”), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction:

the numerator of which shall be the aggregate of: (A) the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date; and (B) a number determined by dividing whichever of the following is applicable by the Current Value (as hereinafter defined) of the Common Shares on the record date: (1) the amount obtained by multiplying the number of Common Shares or Participating Shares which the holders of Common Shares are entitled to subscribe for or purchase by the subscription or purchase price; or (2) the amount obtained by multiplying the maximum number of Common Shares or Participating Shares which the holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive on the conversion or exchange of the Convertible Securities by the conversion or exchange price per share; and

the denominator of which shall be the aggregate of: (A) the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date; and (B) whichever of the following is applicable: (1) the total number of Common Shares or Participating Shares which the holders of Common Shares are entitled to subscribe for or purchase; or (2) the total number of Common Shares or Participating Shares which the holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive on the conversion or exchange of the Convertible Securities.

If by the terms of the rights, options or warrants referred to in this paragraph (e), there is more than one purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, the aggregate price of the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase, or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered, will be calculated for purposes of the adjustment on the basis of the lowest purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, as the case may be.

Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or 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.

To the extent that such Rights Offering is not so made or 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 if such record date had not been fixed or to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based if such expired rights, options or warrants had not been included in the original calculation.

If and whenever at any time prior to the Expiry Time, the Company shall fix a record date for the distribution to all or substantially all the holders of Common Shares of:

shares of any class, whether of the Company or any other corporation;

rights, options or warrants;

evidences of indebtedness; or

other assets or property;

and if such distribution does not constitute a Capital Reorganization or a Rights Offering or does not consist of rights, options or warrants entitling the holders of Common Shares to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares, Participating Shares or Convertible Securities for a period expiring not more than 45 days after such record date and at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) of at least 95% of the Current Value of the Common Shares on such record date (any such non-excluded event being hereinafter referred to as a “Special Distribution”) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction: (I) the numerator of which shall be the amount by which (A)the amount obtained by multiplying the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date by the Current Value of the Common Shares on such record date, exceeds (B)the fair market value (as determined by the external auditors of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive) to the holders of such Common Shares of such Special Distribution; and (II) the denominator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Current Value of the Common Shares on such record date.

Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or 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.

To the extent that such Special Distribution is not so made or 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 if such record date had not been fixed or if such expired rights, options or warrants had not been issued for the purposes of determining the fair market value as referred to in subparagraph (f)(B) above.

For the purpose of this Warrant Certificate: (i) “Participating Share” means a share (other than a Common Share) that carries the right to participate in earnings to an unlimited degree; and (ii) “Convertible Security” means a security convertible into or exchangeable for a Common Share or a Participating Share or both.

On any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraph (e) or (f), the number of Common Shares purchasable on the exercise of the Warrants will be adjusted contemporaneously with the adjustment of the Exercise Price by multiplying the number of Common Shares theretofore purchasable immediately before the adjustment by a fraction which is the reciprocal of the fraction used in the adjustment of the Exercise Price.

No adjustment pursuant to this Warrant Certificate shall be made in respect of dividends (payable in cash, Common Shares or Participating Shares) declared payable on the Common Shares in any fiscal year of the Company to the extent that such dividends, when aggregated with any dividends previously declared payable on the Common Shares in such fiscal year, do not exceed 50% of the aggregate consolidated net income of the Company, before extraordinary items, for its immediately preceding fiscal year.

In any case in which this Warrant Certificate shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein, the Company may defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the Holder, upon the exercise of the Warrants after such record date and before the occurrence of such event, the additional Common Shares issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to the Holder an appropriate instrument evidencing the Holder’s right to receive such additional Common Shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment and the right to receive any distributions made on such additional Common Shares on and after such exercise.

The adjustments provided for in this Warrant Certificate are cumulative, shall, in the case of adjustments to the Exercise Price, be computed to the nearest one-tenth of one cent and shall apply (without duplication) to successive Reclassifications of Common Shares, Capital Reorganizations, Rights Offerings and Special Distributions; provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this section, no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Exercise Price then in effect (except upon a consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares) (provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment).

No adjustment in the number of Common Shares which may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants or in the Exercise Price shall be made pursuant to this Warrant Certificate if the Holder is entitled to participate in such event (other than the events referred to in paragraph (b)(i) or (b)(ii) on the same terms mutatis mutandi as if the Holder had exercised the Warrants evidenced hereby for Common Shares prior to the effective date or record date of such event.

Subject to the prior written consent of the TSXV, in the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments provided in this Warrant Certificate, such question shall conclusively be determined (as between the Company, the Holder, all shareholders of the Company and any transfer agent of the Common Shares) by a firm of chartered accountants appointed by the Company and acceptable to the Holder (who may be the Company’s auditors). Such accountants shall have access to all necessary records of the Company and such determination shall be binding upon the Company, the Holder, the shareholders of the Company and any transfer agent of the Common Shares.

As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment in the subscription rights pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, including the Exercise Price and the number of such classes of shares or other securities or property which are to be received upon the exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall take all corporate action which may, in the opinion of external counsel, be necessary in order that the Company has reserved and there will remain unissued a sufficient number of Common Shares for issuance upon the exercise of the Warrants, and that the Company may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all the shares of such classes or other securities or may validly and legally distribute the property which the Holder is entitled to receive on the full exercise thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof.

At least 21 days prior to the later of the effective date or record date, as the case may be, of any event which requires an adjustment in the subscription rights pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, including the Exercise Price and the number and classes of shares or other securities or property which are to be received upon the exercise thereof, the Company shall give notice to the Holder of the particulars of such event and the required adjustment and the computation of such adjustment.

This Warrant Certificate and all the rights hereunder (including the Warrants) shall enure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and permitted assigns and shall be binding upon the Company and its successors.

The Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate may not be transferred, sold, assigned or pledged, in whole or in part, to any person by the Holder without the Company’s prior written consent.

the successor corporation will have assumed all the covenants and obligations of the Company under this Warrant Certificate, and

the Warrant Certificate will be a valid and binding obligation of the successor corporation entitling the Holder, as against the successor corporation, to all the rights of the Holder under this Warrant Certificate.

The undersigned hereby certifies that at the time of exercise EITHER (i) it is not within the United States (as defined in Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Regulation S”)), is not a U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S) and is not exercising the Warrants on behalf of, or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person and did not execute or deliver this exercise form in the United States OR (ii) it is not a U.S. person pursuant to Rule 902(k)(vi) of Regulation S.
