if so requested, furnish an indemnity and surety bond in amount and form satisfactory to the Company and to the Trustee in their discretion, acting reasonably; and

Global Special Warrant Certificate: Unless the Book-Entry Only System is terminated or required to do so by applicable law:

Special Warrant Certificates will only be issued in the form of one or more Global Special Warrant Certificates, which will be registered in the name of and deposited with the Depository or its nominee; and

Beneficial Holders shall not be entitled to have Special Warrants registered in their names, shall not receive or be entitled to receive Special Warrant Certificates in definitive form and shall not be considered owners or holders thereof under this Indenture or any supplemental indenture except in circumstances where the Depository resigns or is removed from its responsibility and the Trustee is unable or does not wish to locate a qualified successor. Beneficial interests in a Global Special Warrant Certificate will be represented only through the Book-Entry Only System. Transfers of Special Warrants between Participants shall occur in accordance with the Depository’s rules and procedures and pursuant to an exemption under Applicable Securities Laws. The Company and the Trustee shall not have any responsibility or liability for any aspects of the records relating to or payments made by the Depository, or its nominee, on account of the beneficial interests in the Special Warrants. Nothing herein shall prevent the owners of beneficial interests in the Special Warrants from voting such Special Warrants using duly executed proxies.

Certain Actions, Notices and Payments: All references herein to actions by, notices given or payments made to Special Warrantholders shall, where Special Warrants are held through the Depository, refer to actions taken by, or notices given or payments made to, the Depository upon instruction from the Participants in accordance with its rules and procedures. For the purposes of any provision hereof requiring or permitting actions with the consent of or at the direction of Special Warrantholders evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate Special Warrants outstanding, such direction or consent may be given by holders of Special Warrants acting through the Depository and the Participants owning Special Warrants evidencing the requisite percentage of the Special Warrants. The rights of a Special Warrantholder whose Special Warrants are held through the Depository shall be exercised only through the Depository and the Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such holders and the Depository and the Participants upon instructions from the Participants. Each of the Trustee and the Company may deal with the Depository for all purposes as the authorized representative of the respective Special Warrantholders and such dealing with the Depository shall constitute satisfaction or performance, as applicable, of their respective obligations hereunder. For so long as Special Warrants are held through the Depository, if any notice or other communication is required to be given to Special Warrantholders, the Trustee will give such notices and communications to the Depository.

Resignation or Removal of the Depository: If the Depository resigns or is removed from its responsibility as depository and the Trustee is unable or does not wish to locate a qualified successor, the Depository shall surrender the Global Special Warrant Certificates to the Trustee with instructions for registration of Special Warrants in the name and in the amount specified by the Depository and the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall certify and deliver the aggregate number of Special Warrants then outstanding in the form of Fully Registered Special Warrant Certificates representing such Special Warrants.

Register: With respect to Special Warrants issued pursuant to Fully Registered Special Warrant Certificates, the Company will cause to be kept by the Trustee at its principal office in Vancouver, British Columbia:

a register of holders in which will be entered the names and addresses of the holders of Special Warrants and particulars of the Special Warrants held by them; and

a register of transfers in which all transfers of Special Warrants and the date and other particulars of each transfer will be entered.

Transfer: Subject to Section 3.3, no transfer of any Fully Registered Special Warrant Certificates will be valid unless entered on the register of transfers referred to in Section 3.1(a) hereof, or on any branch register maintained pursuant to Section 3.4(e) hereof, upon surrender to the Trustee of the Special Warrant Certificate representing such Special Warrant, with a properly completed transfer form in substantially the form attached to the Special Warrant Certificate executed by the registered holder or the executors, administrators or other legal representatives thereof or the attorney thereof duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and executed in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee, acting reasonably, and, upon compliance with such requirements and such other reasonable requirements as the Trustee may prescribe, such transfer will be duly noted on one of such registers by the Trustee.

Register: With respect to Special Warrants issuable in whole or in part as one or more Global Special Warrant Certificates, the Company shall cause to be kept by and at the principal offices of the Trustee in Vancouver, British Columbia a register in which shall be entered the name and address of the holder of each such Global Special Warrant Certificate (being the Depository, or its nominee, for such Global Special Warrant Certificate) as holder thereof and particulars of the Global Special Warrant Certificate held by it, and of all transfers thereof. If any Special Warrants are at any time not represented by a Global Special Warrant Certificate, the provisions of Section 3.1 shall govern with respect to registrations and transfers of such Special Warrants.

Transfer: Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, a Global Special Warrant Certificate may not be transferred by the registered holder thereof and accordingly, no definitive certificates shall be issued to Beneficial Holders except in the following circumstances or as otherwise specified in a resolution of the directors of the Company or supplemental indenture relating to the Special Warrants:

Global Special Warrant Certificates may be transferred by a Depository to a nominee of such Depository or by a nominee of a Depository to such Depository or to another nominee of such Depository or by a Depository or its nominee to a successor Depository or its nominee;

Global Special Warrant Certificates may be transferred at any time after the Depository for such Global Special Warrant Certificates (a) has notified the Trustee, or the Company has notified the Trustee, that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Warrant Certificates, or (b) ceases to be eligible to be a Depository, provided that at the time of such transfer the Company has not appointed a successor Depository for such Global Special Warrant Certificates;

Global Special Warrant Certificates may be transferred at any time after the Company has determined, in its sole discretion, to terminate the Book-Entry Only System in respect of such Global Special Warrant Certificates and has communicated such determination to the Trustee in writing;

Global Special Warrant Certificates may be transferred if required by applicable law; or

Global Special Warrant Certificates may be transferred if the Book-Entry Only System ceases to exist.

Certain Matters in respect of the Book-Entry Only System: With respect to the Global Special Warrant Certificates, unless and until definitive certificates have been issued to Beneficial Holders pursuant to subsection 3.2(b):

the Company and the Trustee may deal with the Depository for all purposes as the sole holder of such Special Warrants and the authorized representative of the Beneficial Holders;

the rights of the Beneficial Holders shall be exercised only through the Depository and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Holders and the Depository or the Participants;

the Depository will make book entry transfers among the Participants;

whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Special Warrantholders evidencing a specified percentage of the outstanding Special Warrants, the Depository shall be deemed to be counted in that percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from the Beneficial Holders or the Participant, and has delivered such instructions to the Trustee; and

upon surrender by the Depository of the certificate(s) representing the Global Special Warrant Certificates and receipt of new registration instructions from the Depository, the Trustee shall deliver Fully Registered Warrant Certificates for such Special Warrants to the holders thereof in accordance with the new registration instructions and thereafter, the registration and transfer of such Special Warrants will be governed by Section 3.1 and the remaining Sections of this Article 3.

If the Special Warrant Certificate surrendered pursuant to Section 3.1(b) or Section 3.2(b) hereof bears the legend set forth in Section 2.3(d) hereof and:

the holder thereof is selling Special Warrants represented thereby outside the United States in compliance with the requirements of Rule 904 of Regulation S and in compliance with applicable Canadian laws and regulations, and provided that the Company is a “foreign issuer” within the meaning of Regulation S at the time of sale, the Trustee will not register such transfer unless the holder thereof delivers to the Trustee a declaration in the form set forth as Schedule B hereof, together with such additional information as the Trustee may reasonably request, in which case the Special Warrant Certificate representing the Special Warrants transferred to the transferee will only bear the legend set forth in Section 2.3(c) hereof; or

the holder thereof is selling Special Warrants represented thereby in compliance with the requirements of Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act, the legend set forth in Section 2.3(d) hereof may be removed by delivery to the Trustee and the Company of an opinion of counsel, of recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such legend is no longer required under applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities Act or state securities laws.

Register of Transfers: The transferee of any Special Warrant will, after surrender to the Trustee of the Special Warrant Certificate representing such Special Warrant as required by Section 3.1(b) hereof and upon compliance with all other conditions in respect thereof required by this Indenture or by law, be entitled to be entered on the register of holders referred to in Section 3.1(a) hereof, or on any branch register of holders maintained pursuant to Section 3.4(e) hereof, as the owner of such Special Warrant free from all equities or rights of set-off or counterclaim between the Company and the transferor or any previous holder of such Special Warrant, except in respect of equities of which the Company is required to take notice by statute or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Refusal of Registration: The Company will be entitled, and may direct the Trustee, to refuse to recognize any transfer, or enter the name of any transferee, of any Special Warrant on the registers referred to in Section 3.1(a) hereof or on any branch register maintained pursuant to Section 3.4(e) hereof if such transfer would constitute a violation of the securities laws of any jurisdiction or the instruments, rules, regulations or policies of any regulatory authority (including the TSX or any other stock exchange or securities market upon which the Common Shares are listed and posted for trading or which an application has been made to list the Common Shares) having jurisdiction.

No Notice of Trusts: Subject to applicable law, neither the Company nor the Trustee will be bound to take notice of or see to the execution of any trust, whether express, implied or constructive, in respect of any Special Warrant, and may transfer any Special Warrant on the direction of the person registered as the holder thereof, whether named as trustee or otherwise, as though that person were the beneficial owner thereof.

Inspection: The registers referred to in Section 3.1(a) hereof, and any branch register maintained pursuant to Section 3.4(e) hereof, will be open for inspection by the Company, the Agent and any Special Warrantholder during the normal business hours of the Trustee. The Trustee will from time to time when requested to do so in writing by the Company or any Special Warrantholder (upon payment of the reasonable charges of the Trustee) furnish the Company or such Special Warrantholder with a list of the names and addresses of holders of Special Warrants entered on such registers and showing the number of Special Warrants held by each such holder.

Location of Registers: The Company may at any time and from time to time change the place at which the registers referred to in Section 3.1(a) hereof are kept, cause branch registers of holders or transfers to be kept, in each case subject to the approval of the Trustee, at other places and close such branch registers or change the place at which such branch registers are kept. Notice of all such changes or closures will be given by the Company to the Trustee, the Agent and to the holders of Special Warrants in accordance with Section 11.2 hereof.

Exchange: One or more Special Warrant Certificates (other than Global Special Warrant Certificates) may at any time prior to the Time of Expiry, on compliance with the reasonable requirements of the Trustee, be exchanged for one or more Special Warrant Certificates of different denominations representing in the aggregate the same number of Special Warrants as the Special Warrant Certificate or Special Warrant Certificates being exchanged.

Place of Exchange: Special Warrant Certificates may be exchanged only at the principal offices of the Trustee in Vancouver, British Columbia or Toronto, Ontario or at any other place designated by the Company with the approval of the Trustee.

Cancellation: Any Special Warrant Certificate tendered for exchange pursuant to this Section 3.5 will be surrendered to the Trustee and cancelled.

Execution: The Company will sign all Special Warrant Certificates in accordance with Section 2.4 hereof necessary to carry out exchanges pursuant to this Section 3.5 and such Special Warrant Certificates will be certified by the Trustee.

Special Warrant Certificates: Special Warrant Certificates exchanged for Special Warrant Certificates that bear any of the legends set forth in Section 2.3 hereof will bear the same legends.

Owner: Except with respect to Global Special Warrant Certificates, the Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name any Special Warrant is registered as the absolute owner of such Special Warrant for all purposes, and such person will for all purposes of this Indenture be and be deemed to be the absolute owner thereof, and the Company and the Trustee will not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary, except as may otherwise be set forth herein or as required by statute or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Rights of Registered Holder: The registered holder of any Special Warrant will be entitled to the rights represented thereby free from all equities and rights of set-off or counterclaim between the Company and the original or any intermediate holder thereof and all persons may act accordingly, and the issue and delivery to any such registered holder of the Underlying Securities issuable pursuant thereto will be a good discharge to the Company and the Trustee therefor, and neither the Company nor the Trustee will be bound to inquire into the title of any such registered holder.

Conversion: Subject to the limitation set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof and Section 4.7 hereof, the holder of any Special Warrant may at any time prior to the Time of Expiry exercise the right thereby conferred to be issued Underlying Securities by surrendering to the Trustee at the principal office of the Trustee in Vancouver, British Columbia or Toronto, Ontario, or to any other person or at any other place designated by the Company with the approval of the Trustee, during normal business hours on a Business Day at such place, the Special Warrant Certificate representing such Special Warrant, with a completed and executed notice of conversion substantially in the form attached to such Special Warrant Certificate.

Surrender: Any Special Warrant Certificate with a completed and executed notice of conversion referred to in Section 4.1(a) hereof will be deemed to have been surrendered to the Trustee only on personal delivery thereof to, or, if sent by mail or other means of transmission, on actual receipt thereof by, the Trustee or one of the other persons at the office or one of the other places specified in Section 4.1(a) hereof.

Notice of Conversion: Any notice of conversion referred to in Section 4.1(a) hereof must be signed by the Special Warrantholder, or the executors, administrators or other legal representatives thereof or the attorney thereof duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and executed in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee, acting reasonably, and, if any Underlying Securities thereby issuable are to be issued to a person or persons other than the Special Warrantholder, must specify the name or names and the address or addresses of each such person or persons and the number of Underlying Securities to be issued to each such person if more than one is so specified (and, in this case, the signature appearing on the notice of conversion must be Signature Guaranteed by a Schedule I Canadian chartered bank or a member of a Medallion Guarantee program, with the stamp affixed thereon bearing the actual words “Signature Guarantee” or “Signature Medallion Guaranteed” and otherwise be in accordance with industry standards).

Conversion of Less than All: The holder of any Special Warrants may exercise his right to acquire a number of Underlying Securities less than the aggregate number which the holder is entitled to acquire pursuant to the surrendered Special Warrant Certificate(s). In the event of any conversion of a number of Special Warrants less than the number which the holder is entitled to convert, the holder of the Special Warrants upon such conversion will, in addition, be entitled to receive, without charge therefor, a new Special Warrant Certificate(s) in respect of the balance of the Special Warrants represented by the surrendered Special Warrant Certificate(s) and which were not then converted, and with respect to a Global Special Warrant Certificate, the Depository shall make notations on the Global Special Warrant Certificate of the Special Warrants so converted.

Conversion by Trustee: If any Special Warrant has not been converted pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof prior to the Qualification Date, such Special Warrant will be converted by the Trustee for and on behalf of the holder thereof and, without any action on the part of the holder thereof (including the surrender of any Special Warrant Certificate), and the Special Warrants will be deemed to have been converted into Underlying Securities on the first Business Day following the Qualification Date.

Rights on Conversion by Trustee: The holder of any Special Warrant converted pursuant to Section 4.2(a) hereof will have no further rights as a Special Warrantholder except to receive the certificates representing the Underlying Securities issued upon the conversion thereof to such holder in accordance with Sections 4.3 and 4.4 hereof.

Direction of Trustee: By taking delivery of a Special Warrant Certificate, the holder of the Special Warrants represented thereby is deemed to have irrevocably authorized and directed the Trustee to convert such Special Warrants pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 4.2(a) hereof.

Effect of Conversion: Upon the conversion of any Special Warrants in accordance with Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 hereof, the Underlying Securities thereby issuable will be deemed to have been issued, and the person or persons to whom such Underlying Securities are to be issued will be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record thereof, on the Conversion Date, unless the transfer registers maintained by or on behalf of the Company for the Common Shares are closed on that date, in which case such Underlying Securities will be deemed to have been issued, and such person or persons will be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record thereof, on the date on which such transfer registers are reopened, but such Underlying Securities will be issued on the basis of the number of Underlying Securities to which such person or persons were entitled on the Conversion Date. The certificates representing the Underlying Securities which are issued to a holder of Special Warrants upon the conversion of Special Warrants by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.2(a) hereof will be issued in the name of such holder.

Certificates and Customer Confirmations: Within three Business Days after the Conversion Date:

the Trustee will mail to the person or persons in whose name or names the Underlying Securities thereby issued have been issued, at the respective addresses thereof, or, if so specified, deliver to such person or persons at the place where a Special Warrant Certificate representing Special Warrants was surrendered, certificates representing the Underlying Securities so issued; and

in the case of the conversion of Special Warrants under a Global Special Warrant Certificate, the Company shall cause the Depository to be entered and issued, as the case may be, to the person or person in whose name or names such Underlying Securities have been issued, a Book-Entry Only System customer confirmation.

Issue to Other than Holder: If any Underlying Securities issuable pursuant to any Special Warrants are to be issued to a person or persons other than the Special Warrantholder, the Special Warrantholder must pay to the Company an amount equal to all exigible transfer taxes or other government charges, and neither the Company nor the Trustee will be required to issue or deliver any certificates representing any such Underlying Securities unless or until such amount has been so paid or the Special Warrantholder has established to the satisfaction of the Company in its discretion, acting reasonably, that such taxes and charges have been paid or that no such taxes or charges are owing.

The Company will not, whether pursuant to an adjustment in accordance with Section 4.7 hereof or under any other circumstance, be obligated after the aggregation of the number of Common Shares and Warrants to be issued to each holder of Special Warrants to issue any fraction of a Common Share or Warrant on the conversion of Special Warrants. If a holder of a Special Warrant would otherwise be entitled to a fractional Common Share or Warrant pursuant to the conversion of the Special Warrants, the number of Common Shares and Warrants to be issued will be rounded down to the next whole number, if the holder is entitled to receive less than 0.5 of a Common Share or Warrant and rounded up to the next whole number, if the holder is entitled to receive 0.5 or more of a Common Share or Warrant, and the holder of such Special Warrants will not be entitled to any cash compensation in respect of such fraction.

For the purpose of Section 4.4(a), in the case of a holder of Special Warrants exercising Special Warrants represented by more than one Special Warrant Certificate, the fractional interest of such holder will be the fractional interest of a Common Share or Warrant such Special Warrantholder would otherwise be entitled to receive if the Special Warrants being exercised were represented by one Special Warrant Certificate.

General: No Common Shares or Warrants will be issued pursuant to the conversion of any Special Warrant if the issue of such Common Shares or Warrants would constitute a violation of the securities laws of any jurisdiction and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the certificates representing the Underlying Securities thereby issued will bear such legend or legends as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, be necessary or advisable in order to avoid a violation of any securities laws of any jurisdiction or to comply with the requirements of any stock exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed, provided that if, at any time, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, such legend or legends are no longer necessary or advisable in order to avoid a violation of any such laws or requirements, or the holder of any such legended certificate, at such holder’s expense, provides the Company with evidence satisfactory in form and substance to the Company (which may include an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that such holder is entitled to sell or otherwise transfer such Common Shares or Warrants in a transaction in which such legend or legends are not required, such legended certificate may thereafter be surrendered to the Company in exchange for a certificate which does not bear such legend or legends.

Canadian Legends: Certificates representing Underlying Securities issued upon the conversion of Special Warrants on or prior to the date that is four months and a day following the date of issuance of the Special Warrants, and without the British Columbia Securities Commission, as the principal regulator under National Policy 11-202 and the Passport System, having issued a receipt for the Final Prospectus, will bear the legend provided in subsection 4.6(d) and the following legend:

U.S. Legends: If the Special Warrant Certificate representing the Special Warrants converted in accordance with this Article 4 bears the legend set forth in Section 2.3(d) hereof, then any certificate representing Underlying Securities issued upon the conversion thereof, will bear the following legend:

Book-Entry Only System Legend: Certificates representing Underlying Securities issued upon the conversion of Special Warrants where such Special Warrants were previously held pursuant to a Global Special Warrant Certificate, as well as all certificates issued in exchange for or in substitution of such certificates representing Underlying Securities, will, if directed by the Company, bear the following legend:

Adjustment: The rights of the holder of any Special Warrant, including the number of Underlying Securities issuable upon the conversion or deemed conversion of such Special Warrant, 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.

Triggering Events: The Share Rate in effect at any date will be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

Share Reorganization: If, and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, the Company will (A) subdivide, redivide or change the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares, (B) reduce, consolidate or combine the outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of shares, or (C) issue Common Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares) to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares by way of a stock dividend or other distribution, then, in each such event, the Share Rate will, 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 Share Rate in effect immediately prior to such date by a fraction, of which the denominator will be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such date before giving effect to such event, and of which the numerator will be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such date after giving effect to such event (including Common Shares into which such convertible or exchangeable securities by way of stock dividend may be issued). Such adjustment will be made successively whenever any such event will occur. Any such issue of Common Shares by way of a stock dividend or other distribution will be deemed to have been made on the record date for such stock dividend or other distribution for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under Sections 4.7(b)(i) and (ii) hereof.

Reclassifications: If and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, there is (A) any reclassification of 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 Section 4.7(b) hereof), (B) any consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, merger or other form of business combination of the Company with or into any other corporation, trust, partnership or other entity 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, conveyance, 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, each holder of any Special Warrant which is thereafter exchanged will be entitled to receive, and will accept, in lieu of the number of Underlying Securities to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon such exchange, 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 of such event in (A), (B) or (C), such holder had been the registered holder of the number of Underlying Securities to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon such conversion or exchange. If necessary as a result of any such event, appropriate adjustments will be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 4.7(c) with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of Special Warrants to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 4.7(c) will thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in the relation to any shares or other securities or

Deferral of Adjustment: In any case in which this Section 4.7 will require that an adjustment will 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 any Special Warrant exchanged after such record date or effective date and before the occurrence and consummation of such event the additional Common Shares or other securities or property issuable upon such exchange by reason of the adjustment required by such event, provided, however, that the Company will deliver to such holder an appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional Common 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 Common 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 Conversion Date or such later date as such holder would, but for the provisions of this subsection, have become the holder of record of such additional Common Shares or of such other securities or property pursuant to Section 4.3(a) hereof.

The duties and obligations of the Trustee will be determined solely by the provisions hereof and, accordingly, the Trustee will not be responsible except for the performance of such duties and obligations as it has undertaken herein. The Trustee will retain the right not to act and will not be held liable for refusing to act unless it has received clear and reasonable instructions which comply with the terms of this Indenture.

Special Warrantholders’ Rights Against Escrowed Funds: In addition to the other rights granted to holders of Special Warrants in this Indenture, until the release of the Escrowed Funds pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, each holder of Special Warrants has a pro rata claim against the Escrowed Funds, which claim will subsist until such time as the Underlying Securities issuable upon the deemed conversion of the Special Warrants are issued or such amount is paid to such holder in full.

Unclaimed Amounts: In the event that the Trustee holds any amount of interest or other distributable amount which is unclaimed or which cannot be paid for any reason other than the negligence or wilful misconduct of the Trustee, the Trustee will be under no obligation to invest or reinvest the same but will only be obligated to hold the same on behalf of the person or persons entitled thereto in a current or other non-interest bearing account pending payment to the person or persons entitled thereto. The Trustee will, as and when required by law, and may at any time prior to such required time, pay all or part of such interest or other distributable amount so held to the Public Trustee of British Columbia (or other appropriate official or agency), whose receipt will be good discharge and release of the Trustee for such amounts.

Duty of Trustee: In the exercise of the rights and duties prescribed or conferred by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee will act honestly and in good faith and will exercise that degree of care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent special warrant agent would exercise in comparable circumstances. The Trustee will not be bound to give any notice or do or take any act, action or proceeding by virtue of the powers conferred on it hereby unless and until it will have been required so to do under the terms hereof; nor will the Trustee be required to take notice of any default hereunder, unless and until notified in writing of such default, which notice will distinctly specify the default desired to be brought to the attention of the Trustee and, in the absence of any such notice, the Trustee may for all purposes of this Indenture conclusively assume that no default has been made in the observance or performance of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or conditions contained therein. Any such notice will in no way limit any discretion herein given to the Trustee to determine whether or not the Trustee will take action with respect to any default.

No Relief From Liability: No provision of this Indenture will be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent act, negligent failure to act, wilful misconduct or bad faith.

Actions: The obligation of the Trustee to commence or continue any act, action or proceeding in connection herewith, including without limitation, for the purpose of enforcing any right of the Trustee or the Special Warrantholders hereunder is on the condition that the Trustee will have received a Special Warrantholders’ Request specifying the act, action or proceeding which the Trustee is requested to take and, when required by notice to the Special Warrantholders by the Trustee, the Trustee is furnished by one or more Special Warrantholders with sufficient funds to commence or continue such act, action or proceeding and an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to protect and hold it harmless against the costs, charges, expenses and liabilities to be incurred thereby and any loss and damage it may suffer by reason thereof.

Funding: No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers unless it is so indemnified.

Deposit of Special Warrants: The Trustee may, before commencing or at any time during the continuance of any such act, action or proceeding, require the Special Warrantholder at whose instance it is acting to deposit with the Trustee the Special Warrant Certificates held by them, for which certificates the Trustee will issue receipts.

Restriction: Every provision of this Indenture that relieves the Trustee of liability or entitles it to rely on any evidence submitted to it is subject to the provisions of (i) Applicable Legislation, (ii) this Section 10.2(f) and (iii) Section 10.3 hereof.

Evidence: In addition to the reports, certificates, opinions and other evidence required by this Indenture, the Company will furnish to the Trustee such additional evidence of compliance with any provision hereof, and in such form, as is prescribed by Applicable Legislation or as the Trustee reasonably requires by written notice to the Company.

Reliance by Trustee: In the exercise of any right or duty hereunder the Trustee, if it is acting in good faith, may act and rely, as to the truth of any statement or the accuracy of any opinion expressed therein, on any statutory declaration, opinion, report, certificate or other evidence furnished to the Trustee pursuant to the provisions hereof or of Applicable Legislation or pursuant to a request of the Trustee, if such evidence complies with Applicable Legislation and the Trustee examines such evidence and determines that it complies with the applicable requirements of this Indenture.

Statutory Declaration: Whenever Applicable Legislation requires that evidence referred to in Section 10.3(a) hereof be in the form of a statutory declaration, the Trustee may accept such statutory declaration in lieu of a Certificate of the Company required by any provision hereof. Any such statutory declaration may be made by any one or more of the Chairman, President, Chief Financial Officer or Secretary of the Company or by any other officer(s) or director(s) of the Company to whom such authority is delegated by the directors from time to time. In addition, the Trustee may act and rely and will be protected in acting and relying upon any resolution, certificate, direction, instruction, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, letter, telegram, cablegram or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented by or on behalf of the proper party or parties.

Proof of Execution: Proof of the execution of any document or instrument in writing, including a Special Warrantholders’ Request, by a Special Warrantholder may be made by the certificate of a notary public, or other officer with similar powers, that the person signing such instrument acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution, or in any other manner that the Trustee considers adequate.

Experts: The Trustee may employ or retain such counsel, accountants, appraisers, or other experts or advisers as it reasonably requires for the purpose of determining and discharging its rights and duties hereunder and may pay the reasonable remuneration and disbursements for all services so performed by any of them, without taxation of costs of any counsel, and will not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any of them who has been selected with due care by the Trustee. The Trustee may act and rely and will be protected in acting or not acting and relying in good faith on the opinion or advice of or information obtained from any counsel, accountant or other expert or advisor, whether retained or employed by the Company or by the Trustee, in relation to any matter arising in the administration of the duties and obligations hereof.

Protection: By way of supplement to the provisions of any applicable law for the time being relating to Agent, it is expressly declared and agreed that:

the Trustee will not be liable for or by reason of, or required to substantiate, any statement of fact, representation or recital in this Indenture or in the Special Warrant Certificates (except the representation contained in Section 10.9 hereof or in the certificate of the Trustee on the Special Warrant Certificates or other representation of the Trustee made herein or therein), but all such statements or recitals are and will be deemed to be made by the Company;

nothing herein contained will impose on the Trustee any obligation to see to, or to require evidence of, the registration or filing (or renewal thereof) of this Indenture or any instrument ancillary or supplemental hereto;

the Trustee will not be bound to give notice to any person of the execution hereof;

the Trustee will not incur any liability or responsibility whatsoever or be in any way responsible for the consequence of any breach by the Company of any obligation or warranty herein contained or of any act of any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company;

the Trustee, in its personal or any other capacity, may buy, lend upon and deal in securities of the Company and in the Special Warrants and generally may contract and enter into financial transactions with the Company or any related corporation without being liable to account for any profit made thereby;

the Trustee will incur no liability with respect to the delivery or non-delivery of any certificate or certificates whether delivered by hand, mail or any other means provided that they are sent in accordance with the provisions hereof;

if the Trustee delivers any cheque as required hereunder, the Trustee will have no further obligation or liability for the amount represented thereby, unless any such cheque is not honoured on presentation, provided that in the event of the non-receipt of such cheque by the payee, or the loss or destruction thereof, the Trustee, upon being furnished with reasonable evidence of such non-receipt, loss or destruction and, if required by the Trustee, an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, will issue to such payee a replacement cheque for the amount of such cheque; and

the Trustee will disburse funds in accordance with the provisions hereof only to the extent that funds have been deposited with it.

Indemnity: In addition to and without limiting any protection of the Trustee hereunder or otherwise by law, the Company agrees to indemnify the Trustee, employees, directors and officers (each an “Indemnified Person”), and save each Indemnified Person harmless from all liabilities, suits, damages, costs, expenses and actions which may be brought against or suffered by it arising out of or connected with the performance by the Trustee of its duties hereunder, except to the extent that such liabilities, suits, damages, costs and actions are attributable to the gross negligence, fraud, wilful misconduct or bad faith of the Trustee or an Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, this indemnity will survive any removal or resignation of the Trustee, discharge of this Indenture and termination of any duties and obligations hereunder.

Notice to Trustee: The Trustee will not be bound to give any notice or do or take any act, action or proceeding by virtue of the powers conferred on it hereby unless and until it will have been required to do so under the terms hereof; nor will the Trustee be required to take notice of any default hereunder, unless and until notified in writing of such default, which notice will describe the default desired to be brought to the attention of the Trustee and in the absence of any such notice the Trustee may for all purposes of this Indenture conclusively assume that no default has been made in the observance or performance of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or conditions contained herein. Any such notice will in no way limit the discretion herein given to the Trustee to determine whether or not the Trustee will take action with respect to any default.

Resignation: The Trustee may resign and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder, except as provided in this Section 10.8, by giving to the Company and the Special Warrantholders not less than 60 Business Days notice in writing or, if a new Trustee has been appointed, such shorter notice as the Company accepts as sufficient, provided that such resignation and discharge will be subject to the appointment of a successor thereto in accordance with the provisions hereof.

Removal: The Special Warrantholders by Extraordinary Resolution may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a new Trustee.

Appointment of New Trustee: If the Trustee so resigns or is so removed or is dissolved, becomes bankrupt, goes into liquidation or otherwise becomes incapable of acting hereunder, the Company will forthwith appoint a new Trustee, unless a new Trustee has already been appointed by the Special Warrantholders.

Failure to Appoint: Failing such appointment by the Company, the retiring Trustee or any Special Warrantholder may apply, at the expense of the Company, to the British Columbia Supreme Court, on such notice as the Court directs, for the appointment of a new Trustee.

New Trustee: Any new Trustee appointed under this Section must be a corporation authorized to carry on the business of a transfer agent or trust company in the Provinces of Ontario and British Columbia and, if required by the Applicable Legislation of any other province, in such other province. On any such appointment, the new Trustee will be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named herein as Trustee without any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed, but there will be immediately executed, at the expense of the Company, all such conveyances or other instruments as, in the opinion of counsel, are necessary or advisable for the purpose of assuring the transfer of such powers, rights, duties and responsibilities to the new Trustee. The predecessor Trustee will transfer, deliver and pay over to the successor new Trustee, who will be entitled to receive, all monies, securities, records or other property held by the predecessor Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof and the predecessor Trustee will thereupon be discharged as Trustee hereunder. Any new Trustee so appointed by the Company or by the Court will be subject to removal as aforesaid by the Special Warrantholders and by the Company.

Notice of New Trustee: On the appointment of a new Trustee, the Company will promptly give notice thereof to the Special Warrantholders in accordance with Section 11.2(a) hereof.

Successor Trustee: A corporation into or with which the Trustee is merged or consolidated or amalgamated, or a corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, will be the successor to the Trustee hereunder without any further act on its part or on the part of any party hereto if such corporation would be eligible for appointment as a new Trustee under Section 10.8(e) hereof.

Certificates: A Special Warrant Certificate certified but not delivered by a predecessor Trustee may be delivered by the new or successor Trustee in the name of the predecessor Trustee or successor Trustee.

Company: Unless herein otherwise expressly provided, a notice to be given hereunder to the Company or the Trustee will be validly given if delivered or if sent by registered letter, postage prepaid, or if sent by facsimile transmission (if receipt of such transmission is confirmed):

Postal Interruption: If, by reason of a strike, lockout or other work stoppage, actual or threatened, involving Canadian postal employees, a notice to be given to the Trustee or to the Company hereunder could reasonably be considered unlikely to reach or likely to be delayed in reaching its destination, the notice will be valid and effective only if it is delivered to an officer of the party to which it is addressed. Any notice delivered in accordance with the foregoing will be deemed to have been received on the date of delivery to such officer.

Notice: Unless herein otherwise expressly provided, a notice to be given hereunder to Special Warrantholders will be deemed to be validly given if the notice is sent by ordinary surface or air mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Special Warrantholders or delivered (or so mailed to certain Special Warrantholders and so delivered to the other Special Warrantholders) at their respective addresses appearing on any of the registers of holders described in Section 3.1 hereof, provided, however, that if, by reason of a strike, lockout or other work stoppage, actual or threatened, involving Canadian postal employees, the notice could reasonably be considered unlikely to reach or likely to be delayed in reaching its destination, the notice will be valid and effective if it is printed once in the national edition of the Globe & Mail.

In determining under any provision hereof the date when notice of a meeting or other event must be given, the date of giving notice will be included and the date of the meeting or other event will be excluded. Accidental error or omission in giving notice or accidental failure to mail notice to any Special Warrantholder will not invalidate any action or proceeding founded thereon.

Certificates representing Underlying Securities will not be registered or delivered to an address in the United States unless Box B or C above is checked.

The registered holder may exercise its right to receive Underlying Securities on exercise hereof by completing this form and surrendering this form and the Special Warrant Certificate representing the Special Warrants being exercised to the Trustee.

The stamp affixed thereon by the guarantor must bear the actual words “Signature Guaranteed” or “Medallion Guaranteed” and otherwise be in accordance with industry standards.

In the case of any transfer of Special Warrants to a Person resident in, or otherwise subject to the securities laws of, any province or territory of Canada, either the transferee must be an Accredited Investor within the meaning of such applicable securities laws in Canada or the transfer must otherwise be exempt from the prospectus and registration requirements of applicable securities laws in Canada.

The Special Warrant Indenture contains certain other requirements relating to the transfer of Special Warrants, including, among other things, a requirement in certain cases that a written opinion of U.S. counsel of recognized standing be delivered in connection with the transfer of Special Warrants by a U.S. Person or a person in the United States or a person holding Special Warrants for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person or a person in the United States, to a person in the United States or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person or a person in the United States.

The signature of the transferor must correspond in every particular with the surname and the first name(s) or initials shown on the face of this certificate and the endorsement must be signature guaranteed, in either case, by a Schedule 1 Canadian chartered bank, a firm which is a member of a recognized stock exchange in Canada, a national securities exchange in the United States, or the National Association of Securities dealers or a member of a recognized medallion program.
