A Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the Exercise Date and the person entitled to receive shares of restricted common stock of the Corporation deliverable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the Holder of a Warrant Share upon the exercise of the applicable Warrant as of the close of business on the Exercise Date. Promptly following, and in any event within five (5) business days after, the date on which the Corporation first receives clearance of all funds received in payment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, the Corporation shall cause to be issued and delivered to the person or persons entitled to receive the same, a certificate or certificates evidencing the issuance to such Holder of the applicable number of Warrant Shares (plus a Warrant Certificate for any remaining issued but unexercised Warrants of the Holder).

(b) Upon the exercise of the Warrants represented hereby, if the Corporation so requests, the Holder shall certify to the Corporation that it is not exercising such Warrants with a view to distribute the Warrant Shares in violation of the Securities Act, and shall provide such other investor representations as the Corporation may require to confirm the ability of the Corporation to rely upon the exemption from registration under the Securities Act which applies to the distribution of Warrant Shares at the time of such distribution.

Each Holder requesting a substitute Warrant Certificate due to loss, theft or destruction shall, prior to receiving such substitute certificate, provide an affidavit to the Corporation in the form prescribed thereby and signed by (and notarized on behalf of) such Holder. Applicants for a substitute Warrant Certificate shall comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the Corporation may prescribe.

SECTION 5. ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES OR WARRANTS.

(a) The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants and the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of any of the following (each a “Change of Shares”). In case the Corporation shall (i) pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to all holders of its outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant immediately prior to any such Change of Shares shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Corporation which the Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been exercised in advance of the Change of Shares. Upon each such adjustment of the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Corporation which are purchasable hereunder, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase the number of Warrant Shares or other securities resulting from such adjustment at a Purchase Price per Warrant Share (the “Adjusted Purchase Price”) or other security obtained by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing by the number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Corporation resulting from such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.

(b) The Corporation may elect, at its sole discretion, upon any adjustment of the Purchase Price hereunder, to adjust the number of Warrants outstanding, in lieu of adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant as hereinabove provided, so that each Warrant outstanding after such adjustment shall represent the right to purchase one Warrant Share. Each Warrant held of record prior to such adjustment of the number of Warrants shall become that number of Warrants (calculated to the nearest tenth) determined by multiplying the number one by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Adjusted Purchase Price. Upon each adjustment of the number of Warrants pursuant to this Section 5(b), the Corporation shall, as promptly as practicable, cause to be distributed to each Holder of Warrant Certificates, on the date of such adjustment, Warrant Certificates evidencing the adjusted number of Warrants to which such Holder shall be entitled as a result of such adjustment or, at the sole option of the Corporation, cause to be distributed to such Holder in substitution and replacement for the Warrant Certificates held by him prior to the date of adjustment, and upon surrender thereof, (if required by the Corporation) new Warrant Certificates evidencing the aggregate number of Warrants to which such Holder shall be entitled after such adjustment.


- 6 -

(c) In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock, or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Corporation is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of all, or substantially all, of the property of the Corporation (other than a sale/leaseback, mortgage or other financing transaction), the Corporation shall cause effective provision to be made so that each holder of a Warrant then outstanding shall have the right thereafter, by exercising such Warrant, to purchase the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of Warrant Shares that might have been purchased upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. Any such provision shall include provision for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 5 upon a Change of Shares. The Corporation shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale without the written consent of Holders of a majority of the Warrants then outstanding, unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor (if other than the Corporation) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume, by written instrument executed and delivered to the Corporation, the obligation to deliver to the holder of each Warrant such substitute warrants, shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holders may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations of the Corporation set out in this Certificate. The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and other changes of outstanding shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.


- 7 -

(d) If prior to the Expiry Time and while this Warrant Certificate is outstanding, the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issue of rights, options or warrants to the holders of all or substantially all of its outstanding Common Stock under which such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not more than ninety days after the record date for such issue, to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at a price per share or having a conversion or exchange price per share less than 95% of the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such record date, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus a number equal to the number arrived at by dividing the aggregate price of the total number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase at the price at which such shares of Common Stock are offered, or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible securities so offered, by such Current Market Price per share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable). Any Common Stock owned by or held for the account of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation, shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. To the extent that any adjustment in the Purchase Price occurs pursuant to this Section 5(d) as a result of the Corporation fixing a record date for the issue and distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 5(d), the Purchase Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiration of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the Purchase Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiration, and the Purchase Price shall be further readjusted in such manner upon expiration of any such further right.

(e) Irrespective of any adjustments or changes in the Purchase Price or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, all Warrant Certificates issued (whether prior to or subsequent to any event causing an adjustment thereof) shall continue to express the Purchase Price per share, and the number of shares purchasable thereunder as originally expressed in the Warrant Certificate initially issued to any Holder.

(f) After each adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 5, the Corporation will promptly prepare a certificate signed by the Chairman or Chief Executive Officer, and attested by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, of the Corporation (or such other persons as is acceptable to the Holder, acting reasonably) setting forth: (i) the Purchase Price as so adjusted, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant after such adjustment or, if the Corporation shall have elected to adjust the number of Warrants, the number of Warrants to which the Holder of each Warrant shall then be entitled, and (iii) a brief statement of the facts accounting for such adjustment. The Corporation will promptly cause a brief summary thereof to be sent by ordinary first class mail to each Holder of Warrants at his or her last address as it shall appear on the Warrant Registry. No failure to mail such notice nor any defect therein nor in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity thereof. The affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation that such notice has been mailed shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.


- 8 -

(g) As used in this Section 5, references to “Common Stock” shall mean and include all of the Corporation’s Common Stock authorized on the date hereof and shall also include any capital stock of any class of the Corporation thereafter authorized which shall not be limited to a fixed sum or percentage in respect of the rights of the holders thereof to participate in dividends and in the distribution of assets upon the voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; provided, however, that “Warrant Shares” shall include only shares of such class designated in the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation as Common Stock on the date hereof or (i) in the case of any reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance of the character referred to in Section 5(c) hereof, the stock, securities or property provided for in such section, or (ii) in the case of any reclassification or change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants as a result of a subdivision or combination or consisting of a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, such shares of Common Stock as so reclassified or changed.

(h) Any determination as to whether an adjustment in the Purchase Price in effect hereunder is required pursuant to this Section 5, or as to the amount of any such adjustment, if required, shall be binding upon all holders of Warrants and the Corporation if made in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 5(h), the Corporation’s Board of Directors shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if it makes any such decision in reliance upon advice of its legal counsel and/or another independent professional hired to advise the Board on such matters.

SECTION 6. RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS.

(a) Neither the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate nor the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants have been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. Accordingly, neither the Warrants nor the Warrant Shares may be offered, sold or otherwise transferred in the United States or to or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person or a person in the United States, unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from registration is available.

(b) All Warrant Shares issued prior to October 22, 2013 upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant Certificate will be subject to a hold period under NI 45-102, and may not be traded until October 22, 2013, except as permitted by applicable securities laws and regulations, and the certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall bear the following legends:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “U.S. SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT.

SECTION 8. AGREEMENT OF WARRANT HOLDERS.

Every holder of a Warrant, by his or her acceptance thereof, consents and agrees with the Corporation and every other holder of a Warrant that:

(a) The Warrant Registry shall be maintained by the Corporation’s Secretary, and shall be the official register of all Warrants issued to any person in the Offering. The Warrant Registry shall be dispositive as to the issuance, ownership, transfer and other aspects of each Warrant issued by the Corporation which are recorded therein and, absent manifest error, such records shall control for all purposes.

(b) The Warrants are transferable only on the Warrant Registry by the Holder thereof in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing and only if the Warrant Certificates representing such Warrants are surrendered at the Corporate Office of the Corporation, duly endorsed or accompanied by a proper instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Corporation in its sole discretion, together with payment of the amount of any applicable transfer taxes; and

(c) The Corporation may deem and treat the person in whose name the Warrant Certificate is registered on the Warrant Registry as the holder and as the absolute, true and lawful owner of the Warrants represented thereby for all purposes, and the Corporation shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Certificate.
