Upon such surrender and full payment as aforesaid, the Holder shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of record of the number of the Common Shares to be so issued and the Holder shall be entitled to delivery of a certificate or certificates representing such Common Shares and the Corporation shall cause such certificate or certificates to be delivered to the Holder at the address specified in the subscription form within five (5) Business Days after such surrender and full payment as aforesaid.

2. Covenants, Representations and Warranties: The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees that it is authorized to issue and that it will cause the Common Shares from time to time subscribed for and purchased in the manner provided in this Compensation Option Certificate and the certificate or certificates representing the Common Shares to be issued as fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares and that, at all times prior to the Expiry Time, it will reserve and there will remain unissued a sufficient number of Common Shares to satisfy the right of purchase provided in this Compensation Option Certificate. The Corporation hereby further covenants and agrees that it will at its expense expeditiously use its best efforts to obtain the listing of the Common Shares (subject to issue or notice of issue) resulting from the exercise of this Compensation Option on each stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Common Shares may be listed from time to time. All Common Shares which are issued upon the exercise of the right of purchase provided in this Compensation Option Certificate, upon full payment therefor of the amount at which such Common Shares may be purchased pursuant to the provisions of this Compensation Option Certificate, shall be and be deemed to be fully paid and non-assessable shares and free from all liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Corporation hereby represents and warrants that this Compensation Option Certificate is a valid and enforceable obligation of the Corporation, enforceable in accordance with the provisions of this Compensation Option Certificate.

3. Anti-Dilution Protection:

(c) "Current Market Price" of the Common Shares at any date means the volume weighted average price at which the Common Shares have traded on the principal stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed as at such date or, if the Common Shares are not then listed on any stock exchange, in the over-the-counter market, during the period of any 20 consecutive trading days ending not more than five (5) Business Days before such date; provided that the volume weighted average price shall be determined by dividing the aggregate sale price of all Common Shares sold on the said exchange or market, as the case may be, during such 20 consecutive trading days by the total number of Common Shares so sold; and provided further that if the Common Shares are not then listed on any stock exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market, then the Current Market Price shall be determined by such firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by the directors of the Corporation;

(d) "director" means a director of the Corporation at the relevant time and, unless otherwise specified herein, a reference to action "by the directors" means action by the directors of the Corporation as a board or, whenever empowered, action by any committee of the directors of the Corporation; and

(a) If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall:

(i) fix a record date for the issue of, or issue Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend or other distribution;

(ii) fix a record date for the distribution to, or make a distribution to, the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares payable in Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares;

(iii) subdivide the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares; or

(iv) consolidate the outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of Common Shares,


A-3

(any of such events in subclauses 3(2)(a)(i), 3(2)(a)(ii), 3(2)(a)(iii) and 3(2)(a)(iv) above being herein called a "Common Share Reorganization"), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted on the earlier of the record date on which holders of Common Shares are determined for the purposes of the Common Share Reorganization and the effective date of the Common Share Reorganization to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date or effective date, as the case may be, by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date or effective date, as the case may be, before giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization; and

(B) the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares which will be outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization (including in the case of a distribution of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares on such date).

To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this clause 3(2)(a) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the distribution of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exchange or conversion right to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiry and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right. If the Holder has not exercised its right to subscribe for and purchase Common Shares on or prior to the record date of such stock dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision or consolidation, as the case may be, upon the exercise of such right thereafter shall be entitled to receive and shall accept in lieu of the number of Common Shares then subscribed for and purchased by the Holder, at the Exercise Price determined in accordance with this clause 3(2)(a), the aggregate number of Common Shares that the Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Common Share Reorganization, if, on such record date or effective date, as the case may be, the Holder had been the holder of record of the number of Common Shares so subscribed for and purchased.

(b) If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issue or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares of rights, options or warrants pursuant to which such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue (such period being the "Rights Period"), to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares at a price per share to the holder (or in the case of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, at an exchange or conversion price per share) at the date of issue of such securities of less than 95% of the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date (any of such events being called a "Rights Offering"), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date for such Rights Offering to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction:


A-4

(i) the numerator of which shall be the aggregate of

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

(B) the quotient determined by dividing

(I) either (a) the product of the number of Common Shares offered during the Rights Period pursuant to the Rights Offering and the price at which such Common Shares are offered, or (b) the product of the exchange, exercise or conversion price of the securities so offered and the number of Common Shares for or into which the securities offered pursuant to the Rights Offering may be exchanged, exercised or converted, as the case may be, by

(II) the Current Market Price of the Common Shares as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the aggregate of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the number of Common Shares offered pursuant to the Rights Offering (including in the case of the issue or distribution of securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Common Shares the number of Common Shares into which such securities may be exchanged, exercised or converted).

If by the terms of the rights, options, or warrants referred to in this clause 3(2)(b), 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, shall 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 Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such calculation. To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this clause 3(2)(b) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the issue or distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to in this clause 3(2)(b), the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiry and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right.


A-5

(c) If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issue or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the Common Shares of:

(i) shares of the Corporation of any class other than Common Shares;

(ii) rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Common Shares (other than rights, options or warrants pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares at a price per share (or in the case of securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Common Shares at an exchange, exercise or conversion price per share on the record date for the issue of such securities) of at least 95% of the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date);

(iii) evidences of indebtedness of the Corporation; or

(iv) any property or assets of the Corporation;

and if such issue or distribution does not constitute a Common Share Reorganization or a Rights Offering (any of such non-excluded events being herein called a "Special Distribution"), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date for the Special Distribution to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on the record date for the Special Distribution by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which shall be the difference between

(I) the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date, and

(II) the fair value, as determined by the directors of the Corporation, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, to the holders of Common Shares of the shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or property or assets to be issued or distributed in the Special Distribution, and


A-6

(B) the denominator of which shall be the product obtained by multiplying the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date by the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date.

Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of such calculation. To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this clause 3(2)(c) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the issue or distribution of rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Common Shares referred to in this clause 3(2)(c), the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exchange, exercise or conversion right to the amount which would then be in effect if the fair market value had been determined on the basis of the number of Common Shares issued and remaining issuable immediately after such expiry, and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right.

(d) If at any time during the Adjustment Period there shall occur:

(i) a reclassification or redesignation of the Common Shares, any change or exchange of the Common Shares into other shares or securities or any other capital reorganization involving the Common Shares other than a Common Share Reorganization;

(ii) a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Corporation with or into any other body corporate which results in a reclassification or redesignation of the Common Shares or a change or exchange of the Common Shares into or for other shares or securities; or

(iii) the transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or entity;

(any of such events being herein called a "Capital Reorganization"), after the effective date of the Capital Reorganization the Holder shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept, for the same aggregate consideration, upon exercise of this Compensation Option, in lieu of the number of Common Shares which the Holder was theretofore entitled to purchase or receive upon the exercise of this Compensation Option, the kind and aggregate number of shares and other securities or property resulting from the Capital Reorganization which the Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Capital Reorganization 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 purchase or receive upon the exercise of this Compensation Option. If necessary, as a result of any Capital Reorganization, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Compensation Option Certificate with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions of this Compensation Option Certificate shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be possible in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Compensation Option.


A-7

(e) If at any time during the Adjustment Period any adjustment or readjustment in the Exercise Price shall occur pursuant to the provisions of clauses 3(2)(a), 3(2)(b) or 3(2)(c) hereof, then the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the subsequent exercise of this Compensation Option shall be simultaneously adjusted or readjusted, as the case may be, by multiplying the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Compensation Option 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.

(3) Rules: The following rules and procedures shall be applicable to adjustments made pursuant to subsection 3(2) hereof.

(a) Subject to the following provisions of this subsection 3(3), any adjustment made pursuant to subsection 3(2) hereof shall be made successively whenever an event referred to therein shall occur.

(b) No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least one per cent in the then Exercise Price and no adjustment shall be made in the number of Common Shares purchasable or issuable on the exercise of this Compensation Option unless it would result in a change of at least one one-hundredth of a Common Shares; provided, however, that any adjustments which except for the provision of this clause 3(3)(b) would otherwise have been required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. Notwithstanding any other provision of subsection 3(2) hereof, no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made which would result in an increase in the Exercise Price or a decrease in the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Compensation Option (except in respect of the Common Share Reorganization described in subclause 3(2)(a)(iv) hereof or a Capital Reorganization described in subclause 3(2)(d)(ii) hereof).

(c) No adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number or kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Compensation Option shall be made in respect of any event described in section 3 hereof if the Holder is entitled to participate in such event on the same terms mutatis mutandis as if the Holder had exercised this Compensation Option prior to or on the record date or effective date, as the case may be, of such event.

(d) No adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Compensation Option shall be made pursuant to subsection 3(2) hereof in respect of the issue from time to time of Common Shares pursuant to this Compensation Option Certificate or pursuant to any stock option, stock purchase or stock bonus plan in effect from time to time for directors, officers or employees of the Corporation and/or any subsidiary of the Corporation and any such issue, and any grant of options in connection therewith, shall be deemed not to be a Common Share Reorganization, a Rights Offering nor any other event described in subsection 3(2) hereof.


A-8

(e) If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Common Shares, other than an action described in subsection 3(2) hereof, which in the opinion of the directors would have a material adverse effect upon the rights of the Holder, either or both the Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Compensation Option shall, subject to subsection 3(3)(b), be adjusted in such manner and at such time by action by the directors, in their sole discretion, but subject to the prior written consent of the TSX Venture Exchange or any stock exchange or market on which the Common Shares may be listed or traded (if such consent is required by such exchange or market), as may be equitable in the circumstances, and any other required regulatory approval. Failure of the taking of action by the directors so as to provide for an adjustment prior to the effective date of any action by the Corporation affecting the Common Shares shall be deemed to be conclusive evidence that the directors have determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances.

(f) If the Corporation shall set a record date to determine holders of Common Shares for the purpose of entitling such holders to receive any dividend or distribution or any subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to such holders of any such dividend, distribution or subscription or purchase rights, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution or subscription or purchase rights, then no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Compensation Option shall be required by reason of the setting of such record date.

(g) In any case in which this Compensation Option shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to in subsection 3(2) hereof, the Corporation may defer, until the occurrence of such event:

(i) issuing to the Holder, to the extent that this Compensation Option is exercised 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; and

(ii) delivering to the Holder any distribution declared with respect to such additional Common Shares after such record date and before such event;

provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver to the Holder an appropriate instrument evidencing the right of the Holder, upon the occurrence of the event requiring the adjustment, to an adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Compensation Option and to such distribution declared with respect to any such additional Common Shares issuable on this exercise of this Compensation Option.


A-9

(h) In the absence of a resolution of the directors fixing a record date for a Rights Offering, the Corporation shall be deemed to have fixed as the record date therefor the date of the issue of the rights, options or warrants issued pursuant to the Rights Offering.

(i) If a dispute shall at any time arise with respect to adjustments of the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Compensation Option, such disputes shall be conclusively determined by the auditors of the Corporation or, if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such other firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by the directors and any such determination shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any adjustment made pursuant to subsection 3(2) hereof and shall be binding upon the Corporation and the Holder.

(j) As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to subsection 3(2) hereof, including the Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares or other securities which are to be received upon the exercise hereof, the Corporation shall take any action which may, in the opinion of counsel to the Corporation, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable shares all of the Common Shares or other securities which the Holder is entitled to receive in accordance with the provisions of this Compensation Option Certificate.

(4) Notice: At least 10 business days prior to any record date or effective date, as the case may be, for any event which requires or might require an adjustment in any of the rights of the Holder under this Compensation Option, including the Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares which are purchasable under this Compensation Option, the Corporation shall deliver to the Holder a certificate of the Corporation specifying the particulars of such event and, if determinable, the required adjustment and the calculation of such adjustment. In case any adjustment for which a notice in this subsection 3(4) has been given is not then determinable, the Corporation shall promptly after such adjustment is determinable deliver to the Holder a certificate providing the calculation of such adjustment. The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees that the register of transfers and transfer books for the Common Shares will be open, and that the Corporation will not take any action which might deprive the Holder of the opportunity of exercising the rights of subscription contained in this Compensation Option Certificate, during such 10 business days period.

4. Transfer of Compensation Options: Subject to applicable law and the rules and policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, the holder of this Compensation Option Certificate may not transfer this Compensation Option Certificate except to a subsidiary or to an entity of which such holder is a subsidiary, upon prior written notice to the Corporation. No transfer of this Compensation Option Certificate shall be made if in the opinion of counsel to the Corporation such transfer would result in the violation of any applicable securities laws or the rules and policies of the TSX Venture Exchange or such other stock exchange on which the Common Shares may then be listed. Subject to the foregoing, the Corporation shall issue and mail as soon as practicable, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of such delivery, a new Compensation Option Certificate (with or without legends as may be appropriate) registered in the name of the transferee or as the transferee may direct and shall take all other necessary actions to effect the transfer as directed.


A-10

5. Further Assurances: The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees that it will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, all and every such other act, deed and assurance as the Holder shall reasonably require for the better accomplishing and effectuating of the intentions and provisions of this Compensation Option Certificate.

6. Time of Essence: Time shall be of the essence of this Compensation Option Certificate.

7. Governing Laws: This Compensation Option Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein.

8. Notices: All notices or other communications to be given under this Compensation Option Certificate shall be delivered by hand or by electronic transmission and, if delivered by hand, shall be deemed to have been given on the delivery date and, if sent by electronic transmission on the date of transmission if sent before 4:00 p.m. on a Business Day or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the first Business Day following the date of transmission.
