Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 14, 2014, Energy Fuels Inc. (the “Registrant”) entered into a warrant indenture (the “Warrant Indenture”) between the Registrant and CST Trust Company, as the warrant agent. Under the terms of the Warrant Indenture, each whole common share purchase warrant (each a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”) entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Registrant’s common shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant (each a “Warrant Share” and collectively, the “Warrant Shares”) at a price of $3.20 per Warrant Share. The Warrants will be exercisable at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on March 14, 2019 (the “Expiry Time”), after the Expiry Time, the Warrants will expire and become null and void. The exercise price for the Warrants is payable in United States dollars, however, the Warrants may be exercisable by cashless exercise until the Warrant Shares are registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Warrant Indenture provides for an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants and/or the exercise price per Warrant Share upon the occurrence of certain events, including: (i) the issuance of the Registrant’s common shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into the Registrant’s common shares to all or substantially all of the holders of the Registrant’s common shares as a stock dividend or other distribution (other than a distribution of the Registrant’s common shares upon the exercise of Warrants); (ii) the subdivision, redivision or change of the Registrant’s common shares into a greater number of shares; (iii) the reduction, combination or consolidation of the Registrant’s common shares into a lesser number of shares; (iv) the issuance to all or substantially all of the holders of the Registrant’s common shares of rights, options or warrants under which such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase the Registrant’s common shares, or securities exchangeable for or convertible into the Registrant’s common shares, at a price per share to the holder (or at an exchange or conversion price per share) of less than 95% of the current market price, as defined in the Warrant Indenture, for the Registrant’s common shares on such record date; and (v) the issuance or distribution to all or substantially all of the holders of the common shares of shares of any class other than the Registrant’s common shares, rights, options or warrants to acquire the Registrant’s common shares or securities exchangeable or convertible into the Registrant’s common shares, of evidences of indebtedness, or any property or other assets.

The foregoing summary of certain provisions of the Warrant Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrant Indenture, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

2.3        Issue of Global Certificates

  (a)

The Corporation may, at its sole option, specify, by a written order of the Corporation delivered to the Warrant Agent, that some or all of the Warrants are to be represented by one or more Global Certificates registered in the name of CDS or its nominee, and in such event the Corporation shall execute and the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver one or more Global Certificates that shall represent the aggregate number of outstanding Warrants to be represented by such Global Certificate(s).

     
  (b)

The rights of Beneficial Owners holding Warrants through the Book-Based System or the BEO System shall be limited to those established by applicable law and the agreements between CDS and the CDS Participants and the agreements between CDS Participants and Beneficial Owners. Any rights of such Beneficial Owners shall be exercised solely through a CDS Participant in accordance with Article 4 and the rules and procedures established by CDS from time to time.

     
  (c)

For so long as Warrants are represented by a Global Certificate, if any of the following events occurs:


  (i)

CDS notifies the Corporation that is unwilling or unable to continue as depository of the Warrants represented by a Global Certificate and the Corporation is unable to locate a qualified successor,

   

 

  (ii)

the Corporation determines that CDS is no longer willing, able or qualified to discharge properly its responsibilities as depositary of the Warrants represented by a Global Certificate and the Corporation is unable to locate a qualified successor,

   

 

  (iii)

CDS ceases to be a clearing agency or otherwise ceases to be eligible to be a depositary and the Corporation is unable to locate a qualified successor, or

   

 

  (iv)

the Corporation or CDS is required by applicable laws to take the action contemplated in this subsection 2.3(c),


 

Registered Certificates shall be issued in exchange for the Global Certificate, or the applicable portion thereof, in accordance with Section 2.8 but subject to the provisions of this Section 2.3. All such Warrants issued and exchanged pursuant to this subsection 2.3(c) shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as CDS shall instruct the Warrant Agent, provided that the aggregate number of such Warrants shall be equal to the aggregate number of Warrants represented by the Global Certificate so exchanged, and the Global Certificate so exchanged, or the applicable portion thereof, shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent.

     
  (d)

All references herein to actions by, notices given or payments made to Warrantholders shall, where Warrants are held through a Global Certificate, refer to actions taken by, or notices given or payments made to, CDS upon instruction from CDS Participants in accordance with applicable procedures. For the purposes of any provision hereof requiring or permitting actions with the consent of or at the direction of Warrantholders evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate Warrants outstanding, such direction or consent may be given by holders of Warrants acting through CDS and the CDS Participants owning Warrants evidencing the requisite percentage of the Warrants. The rights of Beneficial Owners shall be limited to those established by applicable laws and agreements between CDS and the CDS Participants and between such CDS Participants and Beneficial Owners.

9



  (e)

Each of the Warrant Agent and the Corporation may deal with CDS for all purposes as the authorized representative of the respective Warrantholders and such dealing with CDS shall constitute satisfaction or performance, as applicable, of their respective obligations hereunder. For so long as Warrants are represented by a Global Certificate, if any notice or other communication is required to be given to Warrantholders, the Warrant Agent will give such notices and communications to CDS or its nominee.

     
  (f)

Transfers of beneficial ownership in any Warrant represented by a Global Certificate or by way of a non-certificated issue will be effected only (i) with respect to the interest of a CDS Participant, through records maintained by CDS or its nominee for such Global Certificate, and (ii) with respect to the interest of any person other than a CDS Participant, through records maintained by CDS Participants. Beneficial Owners who are not CDS Participants but who desire to sell or otherwise transfer ownership of or any other interest in Warrants represented by such Global Certificate may do so through a CDS Participant. Fully registered Warrant Certificates issued and exchanged pursuant to subsection 2.3(c) hereof as a result of the withdrawal of a number of Warrants from a Global Certificate shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as CDS shall instruct the Warrant Agent, provided that the aggregate number of Warrants represented by such Warrant Certificates shall be equal to the aggregate number of Warrants so withdrawn from a Global Certificate. Upon withdrawal of a Global Certificate for one or more Warrant Certificates in definitive form, the number of Warrants represented by such Global Certificate shall be reduced by the Warrant Agent.

     
  (g)

Notwithstanding anything herein or in the terms of the Warrant Certificates to the contrary, neither the Corporation nor the Warrant Agent nor any agent thereof shall have any responsibility or liability for (i) the records maintained by CDS relating to any ownership interests or any other interests in the Warrants or the depository system maintained by CDS, or payments made on account of any ownership interest or any other interest of any person in any Warrant represented by any Global Certificate (other than the applicable depository or its nominee), (ii) for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of CDS or any CDS Participant relating to any such interest, or (iii) any advice or representation made or given by CDS or those contained herein that relate to the rules and regulations of CDS or any action to be taken by CDS on its own direction or at the direction of any CDS Participant.

10



  (h)

Registered Certificates issued and exchanged pursuant to subsection 2.3(c) shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as CDS shall instruct the Warrant Agent, provided that the aggregate number of Warrants represented by such Registered Certificates shall be equal to the aggregate number of Warrants represented by the Global Certificate(s) so exchanged. Upon exchange of a Global Certificate for one or more Registered Certificates in definitive form, such Global Certificate shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent.

       
  (i)

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Corporation nor the Warrant Agent nor any agent thereof shall have any responsibility or liability for:

       
  (i)

the electronic records maintained by CDS relating to any ownership interests or any other interests in the Warrants or the Book-Based System or the BEO System, or payments made on account of any interest of any person in Warrants represented by an electronic position in the Book- Based System or the BEO System (other than in respect of CDS or its nominee);

       
  (ii)

maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of CDS or any CDS Participant relating to any interest referred to in subsection 2.3(i)(i); or

       
  (iii)

any advice or representation made or given by CDS or those contained herein that relate to the rules and regulations of CDS or any action to be taken by CDS on its own direction or at the direction of any CDS Participant.


  (j)

For so long as Warrants are represented by a Global Certificate, the certificates representing such Warrants shall bear the following legend, or such other legend as may be prescribed by CDS from time to time:

UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS CLEARING AND DEPOSITORY SERVICES INC. (“CDS”) TO ENERGY FUELS INC. (THE “ISSUER”) OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IN RESPECT THEREOF IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CDS & CO., OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CDS & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CDS), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED HOLDERS HEREOF, CDS & CO., HAS A PROPERTY INTEREST IN THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HEREIN AND IT IS A VIOLATION OF ITS RIGHTS FOR ANY OTHER PERSON TO HOLD, TRANSFER OR DEAL WITH THIS CERTIFICATE.

11


2.4        Issue in Substitution for Lost Warrant Certificates

  (a)

In case any Warrant Certificate shall be mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen, the Corporation, subject to applicable law, shall issue and thereupon the Warrant Agent shall certify and deliver, a new certificate of like tenor as the one mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen in exchange for and in place of and upon cancellation of such mutilated certificate, or in lieu of and in substitution for such lost, destroyed or stolen certificate, and the substituted certificate shall be in a form approved by the Warrant Agent and shall be entitled to the benefits hereof and shall rank equally in accordance with its terms with all other Warrant Certificates issued or to be issued hereunder.

     
  (b)

The applicant for the issue of a new certificate pursuant to this Section 2.4(b) shall bear the reasonable cost of the issue thereof and in case of loss, destruction or theft shall, as a condition precedent to the issue thereof, furnish to the Corporation and to the Warrant Agent such evidence of ownership and of the loss, destruction or theft of the certificate so lost, destroyed or stolen as shall be satisfactory to the Corporation and to the Warrant Agent in their sole discretion, acting reasonably, and such applicant shall also be required to furnish an indemnity and surety bond in amount and form satisfactory to the Corporation and the Warrant Agent to save each of them harmless, and shall pay the reasonable expenses, charges and any taxes applicable thereto to the Corporation and the Warrant Agent in connection therewith.

2.5         Warrantholder Not a Shareholder

Nothing in this Indenture or in the holding of a Warrant evidenced by a Warrant Certificate or otherwise, shall be construed as conferring upon a Warrantholder any right or interest whatsoever as a Shareholder or as any other shareholder of the Corporation, including, but not limited to, the right to vote at, to receive notice of, or to attend, meetings of shareholders or any other proceedings of the Corporation, or the right to receive dividends or other distributions.

All Warrants shall rank pari passu , whatever may be the respective Dates of Issue of the same.

2.7        Signing of Warrant Certificates

The Warrant Certificates shall be signed by any one of the President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, a Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer or a director of the Corporation. The signatures of such officer or director may be mechanically reproduced in facsimile and Warrant Certificates bearing such facsimile signatures shall be binding upon the Corporation as if they had been manually signed by such officer or director. Notwithstanding that any of the Persons whose manual or facsimile signature appears on any Warrant Certificate as one of such officers or as a director may no longer hold office at the date of certification or delivery thereof, any Warrant Certificate signed as aforesaid shall, subject to Section 2.8, be valid and binding upon the Corporation.

12


2.8         Certification by the Warrant Agent

  (a)

No Warrant Certificate shall be issued or, if issued, shall be valid or entitle the holder to the benefit hereof or thereof until it has been (i) in the case of a physical warrant certificate, certified by manual signature by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent; (ii) or in the case of an uncertificated Warrant Certificate, by completing all its customary internal procedures in connection with the making of any one or more entries to, changes in or deletions of any one or more entries in the register of Warrantholders maintained by the Warrant Agent in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof. and such certification by the Warrant Agent upon any Warrant Certificate shall be conclusive evidence as against the Corporation that the Warrant Certificate so certified has been duly issued hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the benefit hereof.

     
  (b)

The certification of the Warrant Agent on the Warrant Certificates issued hereunder shall not be construed as a representation or warranty by the Warrant Agent as to the validity of this Indenture or the Warrant Certificates (except the due certification thereof) and the Warrant Agent shall in no respect be liable or answerable for the use made of the Warrant Certificates or any of them or of the consideration therefor nor for any breach by the Corporation of its covenants herein, except as otherwise specified therein.

  (b)

Warrant Certificates may be exchanged only at the office of the Warrant Agent in the City of Toronto, Ontario or at any other place that is designated by the Corporation with the approval of the Warrant Agent.

Except as otherwise herein provided, the Warrant Agent shall charge the holder requesting an exchange a reasonable sum for each new Warrant Certificate issued in exchange for the Warrant Certificate(s); and payment of such charges and reimbursement of the Warrant Agent or the Corporation for any and all taxes or governmental or other charges required to be paid shall be made by such holder as a condition precedent to such exchange.

3.2         Transfer of Warrants

  (a)

Subject to any restriction under applicable law or policy of any applicable regulatory body, Warrants and Warrant Certificates and the rights thereunder are transferable by the holder thereof upon due completion and execution of the Transfer Form and compliance with the conditions prescribed hereunder.

     
  (b)

No transfer of a Warrant shall be valid unless made by the Warrantholder or its executors or administrators or other legal representatives or an attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and execution satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, upon compliance with such reasonable requirements as the Warrant Agent may prescribe, which may include the provision of a legal opinion to the Warrant Agent to the effect that the securities laws of the applicable jurisdiction(s) have been complied with in relation to the transfer of such Warrants, and unless such transfer shall have been duly entered on the register of transfers and/or noted on the Warrant Certificate. The signature of the registered Warrantholder must be guaranteed by a Canadian chartered bank or by a medallion signature guarantee from a member of a recognized signature medallion guarantee program. The Warrant Agent shall not be charged with notice of or be bound to see to the execution of any trust, whether expressed, implied or constructive, in respect of any Warrant and shall, on the written direction of the registered holder thereof, whether named as trustee or otherwise, as though that Person were the beneficial owner thereof, enter such transfer on the register of transfers.

     
  (c)

The Warrant Agent shall give notice to the Corporation of any transfer before it is made effective by the issuance of the Warrant Certificates. Notice is not required where beneficial holders are withdrawing Warrants from a Global Certificate registered in the name of CDS.

3.3        Registration of Warrants

  (a)

The Corporation shall, at all times while any Warrants are outstanding, cause the Warrant Agent and its agents to maintain a register in which will be entered the names and latest known addresses of the Warrantholders and particulars of the Warrants held by them, and a register of transfers in which shall be entered the particulars of all transfers of Warrants, such registers to be kept by and at the principal transfer office of the Warrant Agent in the City of Toronto, Ontario.

14



  (b)

A Warrantholder may at any time and from time to time have such Warrant transferred at any place at which a register of transfers is kept pursuant to the provisions of this Article 3 in accordance with such reasonable requirements as the Warrant Agent may prescribe. The costs of any such transfer registration shall be borne by the Corporation for the ten (10) day period following the date hereof, thereafter the costs of transfer of any Warrants shall be borne by the transferee.

     
  (c)

The registers referred to in this Section 3.3 shall during normal business hours be open for inspection by the Corporation and by any Warrantholder. The Warrant Agent, for a reasonable fee when requested so to do by the Corporation, shall furnish the Corporation with a list of names and addresses of the Warrantholders showing the certificate numbers of such Warrant Certificates held by each Warrantholder.

3.4        Recognition of Registered Holder

  (a)

The Corporation and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered holder of any Warrant Certificate as the absolute holder and owner of the Warrants evidenced thereby for all purposes, and the Corporation and the Warrant Agent shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary and, without limiting the foregoing, shall not be bound by notice of any trust or be required to see to the execution thereof. Subject to the provisions of this Indenture and applicable law, the registered holder of any Warrant Certificate shall be entitled to the rights evidenced by such Warrant Certificate free from all equities or rights of setoff or counterclaim between the Corporation and the original or any intermediate holder thereof and all Persons may act accordingly and the receipt by any such holder of the Common Shares obtainable pursuant thereto shall be a good discharge to the Corporation and the Warrant Agent for the same and neither the Corporation nor the Warrant Agent shall be bound to inquire into the title of any such holder, except where the issuer of such Warrants or the Warrant Agent is required to take notice by statute or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

     
  (b)

The Person in whose name any Warrant shall be registered shall for all purposes of this Indenture be and be deemed to be the owner thereof and shall be entitled to the rights, privileges and obligations contained in the Warrant Certificate and this Indenture.

  (a)

Upon receipt of a certificate of any bank, trust company or other depositary satisfactory to the Warrant Agent stating that the Warrants specified therein have been deposited by a named Person with such bank, trust company or other depositary and will remain so deposited until the expiry of the period specified therein, the Corporation and the Warrant Agent may treat the Person so named as the owner, and such certificate as sufficient evidence of the ownership by such Person of such Warrants during such period, for the purpose of any requisition, direction, consent, instrument or other document to be made, signed or given by the holder of the Warrants so deposited.

15



  (b)

The Corporation and the Warrant Agent may accept as sufficient evidence of the fact and date of the signing of any requisition, direction, consent, instrument or other document by any Person, the signature, as witness, of any officer of any trust company, bank or depositary satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized to take acknowledgements of deeds to be recorded at the place where such certificate is made, that the Person signing acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or a statutory declaration of a witness of such execution.

3.6        Notices

Any notice so given shall be deemed to have been given on the date of mailing. In determining under any provision hereof the date when notice of any meeting or other event must be given, the date of giving notice shall be included and the date of the meeting or other event shall be excluded. For greater certainty, all costs in connection with the giving of notices contemplated by this Section 3.6 shall be borne by the Corporation. Accidental errors or omissions in giving notice or accidental failure to mail notice to any holder will not invalidate any action or proceeding founded thereon.

ARTICLE 4
EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

4.1         Method of Exercise of Warrants

  (a)

The holder of any Warrant Certificate may exercise the right thereby conferred on him to purchase Common Shares by surrendering to the Warrant Agent during the Exercise Period at its office in Toronto, Ontario or at any other place or places that may be designated by the Corporation with the approval of the Warrant Agent:

       
  (i)

the Warrant Certificate, with a duly completed and executed Subscription Form; and

16



  (ii)

subject to exercise of Warrants in accordance with Section 4.2, a certified cheque, money order or bank draft in lawful money of Canada payable to or to the order of CST Trust Company in an amount equal to the Exercise Price applicable at the time of such surrender in respect of each Common Share subscribed for.


 

A Warrant Certificate with the duly completed and executed Subscription Form together, if applicable, with the payment aforesaid shall be deemed to be surrendered only upon personal delivery thereof to the Warrant Agent at its office set forth above, or, if sent by mail or overnight courier, upon actual receipt thereof by the Warrant Agent at its principal office in Toronto, Ontario.

     
  (b)

Any subscription referred to in this Section 4.1 shall be signed by the Warrantholder and shall specify:


  (i)

the number of Common Shares which the holder desires to purchase (being not more than those which he is entitled to purchase pursuant to the Warrant Certificate(s) surrendered);

     
  (ii)

the Person or Persons in whose name or names the Common Shares are to be issued;

     
  (iii)

the address or addresses of such Person or Persons;

     
  (iv)

the number of Common Shares to be issued to each Person if more than one Person is specified, provided that the Warrantholder shall only be entitled to direct its entitlement to the Common Shares in a manner permitted by applicable securities legislation; and

     
  (v)

a completed transfer form if Common Shares are to be issued to someone other than the Warrantholder.


  (c)

A Beneficial Owner who desires, and is permitted under this Warrant Indenture, to exercise Warrants pursuant to the Book-Based System shall do so in accordance with the procedures established by CDS and the Corporation, from time to time. Such procedures shall initially be that a Beneficial Owner shall cause a CDS Participant to deliver to CDS (at its office in the City of Toronto), on behalf of such Beneficial Owner, notice of such Beneficial Owner’s intention to exercise Warrants and the Exercise Price for the Common Shares being purchased. CDS shall initiate the exercise of Warrants and forward in full the Exercise Price of the Common Shares being purchased electronically through the Book-Based System to the Warrant Agent, following receipt of which the Warrant Agent shall execute the exercise of such Warrants by issuing to CDS the Common Shares to which the exercising Beneficial Owner is entitled pursuant to such exercise of Warrants through the Book-Based System. Any expense associated with the preparation and delivery of the notice of intention to exercise Warrants and payment therefor shall be for the account of the Beneficial Owner exercising Warrants.

17



  (d)

By causing a CDS Participant to deliver the notice of intention to exercise Warrants to CDS pursuant to Section 4.1(c).

     
  (e)

By causing a CDS Participant to deliver the notice of intention to exercise Warrants to CDS, a Beneficial Owner shall be deemed to have appointed such CDS Participant to act as such Beneficial Owner’s exclusive settlement agent with respect to the exercise and the receipt of Common Shares in connection with the obligations arising from such exercise.

     
  (f)

Any notice of intention to exercise Warrants that CDS determines to be incomplete, not in proper form, not duly executed or which is not accompanied by payment in full of the Exercise Price of the Common Shares being purchased shall, for all purposes, be void and of no effect and the exercise to which it relates shall be considered for all purposes not to have been exercised thereby. A failure by a CDS Participant to exercise or to give effect to the settlement thereof in accordance with the Beneficial Owner’s instructions will not give rise to any obligations or liability on the part of the Corporation to the CDS Participant or the Beneficial Owner. For greater certainty, any exercise of Warrants pursuant to this Section 4.1, subject to Section 4.2, must be accompanied by payment in full of the Exercise Price for the Common Shares being purchased and must be received by the Warrant Agent prior to the Time of Expiry.

4.2         Cashless Exercise

  (a)

If at the time of exercise of his or her Warrants there is no effective registration statement under the 1933 Act registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for, the offer and issuance of the Common Shares to the Warrantholder upon the exercise of his or her Warrants, then a Warrantholder may only exercise his or her Warrants, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive a number of whole Common Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) * (X)] by (A), where:

   

 

 

(A) = the volume weighted average price at which the Common Shares have traded on the NYSE during the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date on which the Warrantolder elects to exercise its Warrants by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Subscription Form;

   

 

 

(B) = the Exercise Price of the Warrants, as adjusted hereunder; and

   

 

 

(X) = the number of Common Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

   

 

  (b)

If no such registration statement is effective, or the prospectus is not available for, the offer and issuance of the Common Shares, the Corporation will advise the Warrant Agent in writing immediately.

18



  (c)

Upon receipt of a duly completed Subscription Form that specifies a cashless exercise, the Warrant Agent will notify the Corporation, which will calculate and provide to the Warrant Agent the number of Common Shares to be allotted to the Warrantholder.


For the avoidance of doubt, a Warrantholder may only exercise his or her warrants by means of “cashless exercise” if there is no effective registration statement under the 1933 Act registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for, the offer and issuance of the Common Shares to the Warrantholder upon the exercise of his or her Warrants. If there is an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act registering, or the prospectus contained therein is available for, the offer and issuance of the Common Shares to the Warrantholder upon the exercise of his or her Warrants, such Warrantholder may only exercise his or her Warrants in accordance with Section 4.1.

   
4.3

Effect of Exercise of Warrants


  (a)

Upon surrender and payment by the holder of any Warrant Certificate in accordance with Section 4.1 or Section 4.2, as applicable, the Common Shares so subscribed for shall be deemed to have been issued and the Person or Persons to whom such Common Shares are to be issued shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of such Common Shares on the Exercise Date unless the share registers maintained by the transfer agent of the Corporation shall be closed on such date, in which case the Common Shares so subscribed for shall be deemed to have been issued, and such Person or Persons shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of such Common Shares on the date on which such registers were reopened and such Common Shares shall be issued at the Exercise Price in effect on the Exercise Date. To the extent the opening of the registers remains within the control of the Warrant Agent, the Corporation and the Warrant Agent shall cause such registers to be open on Business Days.

     
  (b)

Within three (3) Business Days during which the transfer registers of the Corporation shall have been open after the due exercise of a Warrant Certificate for Common Shares as aforesaid, the Warrant Agent shall notify the Corporation of the exercise of any Warrant. Furthermore, the Corporation or its counsel shall notify the Warrant Agent of any trading restrictions on the Common Shares acquired upon such exercise pursuant to applicable securities legislation or policy of any applicable regulatory body and the requirement to endorse any Common Share certificate to such effect. Unless and until advised in writing by the Corporation or its counsel that a specific legend and trading restrictions apply to the Common Shares, the Warrant Agent shall be entitled to assume that no specific legend is required and that there are no trading restrictions on the Common Shares pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.

     
  (c)

Within five (5) Business Days during which the transfer registers of the Corporation shall have been open after the due exercise of a Warrant Certificate for Common Shares as aforesaid, the Corporation shall cause the Warrant Agent to mail to the Person or Persons in whose name or names the Common Shares so subscribed for have been issued, as specified in the subscription endorsed on the Warrant Certificate, at his/her or their respective addresses specified in such subscription or, if so specified in such subscription, cause to be delivered to such Person or Persons at the office of the Warrant Agent where such Warrant Certificate was surrendered, a certificate or certificates for the appropriate number of Common Shares subscribed for.

19


4.4         Subscription for Less than Entitlement

The holder of any Warrant Certificate may subscribe for and purchase a number of Common Shares less than the number which the holder is entitled to purchase pursuant to the surrendered Warrant Certificate. In the event of a purchase of a number of Common Shares less than the number which may be purchased pursuant to a Warrant Certificate, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, without charge except as aforesaid, a new Warrant Certificate in respect of the balance of the Common Shares which such holder was entitled to purchase pursuant to the surrendered Warrant Certificate and which was not then purchased.

4.5         No Fractional Common Shares

The Corporation shall not be required, upon exercise of any Warrants, to issue fractional Common Shares or to distribute certificates which evidence fractional Common Shares in satisfaction of its obligations hereunder. If any fractional interest in a Common Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 4.5, be deliverable upon the exercise of a Warrant, the number of Common Shares issued shall be rounded down to the next smaller whole number of Common Shares.

4.6         Expiration of Warrant Certificates

After the expiry of the Exercise Period all rights under any Warrant Certificate in respect of which the right of subscription and purchase of Common Shares herein and therein provided for shall not theretofore have been exercised shall wholly cease and terminate and such Warrant Certificate shall be void and of no effect.

4.7        Cancellation of Surrendered Warrants

All Warrant Certificates surrendered to the Warrant Agent pursuant to Sections 2.4, 3.1, 3.2, 4.1 or 6.1 shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent and, if required by the Corporation, the Warrant Agent shall, upon receipt of a written request from the Corporation, cause to be furnished to the Corporation a certificate identifying the Warrant Certificates so cancelled and the number of Common Shares which could have been purchased pursuant to each cancelled Warrant Certificate.

4.8         Accounting and Recording

  (a)

Within five (5) Business Days, the Warrant Agent shall promptly account to the Corporation with respect to Warrants exercised and forward to the Corporation all monies received on the purchase of Common Shares through the exercise of Warrants. All such monies, and any securities or other instruments from time to time received by the Warrant Agent, shall be received in trust for, and shall be segregated and kept apart by the Warrant Agent in trust for, the Corporation.

20



  (b)

Within five (5) Business Days, the Warrant Agent shall record the particulars of the Warrant Certificates exercised which shall include the name or names and addresses of the Persons who become holders of Common Shares on exercise, the Exercise Date and the Exercise Price thereof.

4.9         Prohibition on Exercise

Other than by cashless exercise pursuant to Section 4.2, the Warrants may not be exercised unless the Common Shares underlying the Warrants are registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws.

ARTICLE 5
ADJUSTMENT OF SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS AND EXERCISE PRICE

5.1        Definitions

In this Article 5, the terms “record date” and “effective date” mean the particular time on the relevant date.

5.2        Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Common Shares Purchasable Upon Exercise

The Exercise Price (and the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise in the case of subsections 5.2(a), (b) and (c) below) shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in the events and in the manner provided as follows:

  (a)

Common Share Reorganization . If during the Exercise Period the Corporation shall:

       
  (i)

issue Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares to all or substantially all of the holders of the Common Shares by way of stock dividend or other distribution (other than as Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course);

       
  (ii)

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

       
  (iii)

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

21



 

(any of such events in subsections 5.2(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) being called a “ Common Share Reorganization ”), then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as of the effective date or record date of such stock dividend or other distribution, as the case may be, by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such effective date or record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such effective date or record date before giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization and the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding as of the effective date or record date after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization (including, in the case where securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares are distributed, the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares on such record date or effective date). If during the Exercise Period a Common Share Reorganization shall occur which results in an adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this subsection 5.2(a), the number of Common Shares purchasable pursuant to each Warrant shall be adjusted contemporaneously with the adjustment of the Exercise Price by multiplying the number of Common Shares theretofore purchasable on the exercise thereof by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

     
  (b)

Rights Offering . If during the Exercise Period the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issue of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares under which such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not more than forty-five (45) days after the record date for such issue (“ 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 at an exchange or conversion price) of less than 95% of the Current Market Price for the Common Shares on such record date (any of such events being called a “ Rights Offering ”), then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the end of the Rights Period to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the end of the Rights Period by a fraction:


  (i)

the numerator of which shall be the aggregate of:

       
  A.

number of Common Shares outstanding as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and

       
  B.

a number determined by dividing: (i) either: (a) the product of the number of Common Shares issued or subscribed for during the Rights Period upon the exercise of the rights, warrants or options under the Rights Offering and the price at which such Common Shares are offered; or (b) the product of the exchange or conversion price per share of such securities offered and the number of Common Shares for or into which the securities so offered pursuant to the Rights Offering have been exchanged or converted during the rights period, 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

22



  (ii)

the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding after giving effect to the Rights Offering and including the number of Common Shares actually issued or subscribed for during the Rights Period upon exercise of the rights, warrants or options under the Rights Offering or upon the exercise of the exchange or conversion rights contained in such exchangeable or convertible securities under the Rights Offering.


 

If during the Exercise Period a Rights Offering shall occur which results in an adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this subsection 5.2(b), the number of Common Shares purchasable pursuant to each Warrant shall be adjusted contemporaneously with the adjustment of the Exercise Price by multiplying the number of Common Shares theretofore purchasable on the exercise thereof by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

       
 

For the purposes of any computation made in accordance with this subsection 5.2(b), Common Shares owned legally or beneficially by the Corporation or a Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of the Corporation, as determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.7, shall be disregarded.

       
  (c)

Special Distribution . If during the Exercise Period the Corporation shall issue or distribute to all or substantially all of the holders of the Common Shares:

       
  (i)

securities of the Corporation including rights, options or warrants to acquire shares of any class or securities exchangeable for or convertible into any such shares or property or assets;

       
  (ii)

evidences of the Corporation’s indebtedness; or

       
  (iii)

any property or other assets,

and if such issuance or distribution does not constitute Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course, a Common Share Reorganization or a Rights Offering (any of such non-excluded events being herein called a “ Special Distribution ”), the Exercise Price shall, subject to the prior written approval of any stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Common Shares are then listed or quoted for trading, be adjusted effective immediately after the record date at which the holders of affected Common Shares are determined for purposes of the Special Distribution to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction:

  (i)

the numerator of which shall be:

23



  A.

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; less

     
  B.

the excess, if any, of: (A) the fair market value on such record date, as determined by action by the directors, whose determination shall be conclusive, which action shall be subject to the prior written approval of any stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Common Shares are then listed or quoted for trading, to the holders of the Common Shares of such securities or property or other assets so issued or distributed in the Special Distribution over; (B) the fair market value of any consideration received therefor by the Corporation from the holders of the Common Shares, as determined by action by the directors, which determination shall be conclusive; and


  (ii)

the denominator of which shall be 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.


 

If during the Exercise Period a Special Distribution shall occur which results in an adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this subsection 5.2(c), the number of Common Shares purchasable pursuant to each Warrant shall be adjusted contemporaneously with the adjustment of the Exercise Price by multiplying the number of Common Shares theretofore purchasable on the exercise thereof by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.

     
 

For the purposes of any computation made in accordance with this subsection 5.2(c), Common Shares owned legally or beneficially by the Corporation or any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of the Corporation, as determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.7, shall be disregarded.

     
  (d)

Capital Reorganization . If during the Exercise Period there shall be a reclassification or redesignation of Common Shares at any time outstanding or a change of the Common Shares into other shares or into other securities (other than a Common Share Reorganization), or a consolidation, amalgamation, take-over bid, compulsory acquisition, plan of arrangement or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or other entity (other than a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, take-over bid, compulsory acquisition, plan of arrangement or merger which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other shares), a change, exchange or conversion of the Common Shares into or for other shares or securities or property, or a transfer, sale or conveyance of the undertaking or assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or other entity in which the holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive shares, other securities or other property (any of such events being herein called a “ Capital Reorganization ”), any Warrantholder who exercises his or her right to purchase Common Shares pursuant to Warrant(s) then held after the effective date of such Capital Reorganization shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept for the same aggregate consideration in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise the aggregate number of shares, other securities or other property which such holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the Warrantholder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon exercise of the Warrant subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with provisions the same, as nearly as may be possible, as those contained in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 hereof. If determined appropriate by the Corporation, acting reasonably, and subject to the prior written approval of any stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Common Shares are then listed or quoted for trading, appropriate adjustments to the exercise price and/or the number of Common Shares issuable on exercise shall be made as a result of any such Capital Reorganization in the application of the provisions set forth in this Article 5 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of Warrantholders to the end that the provisions set forth in this Article 5 shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be in relation to any shares, other securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of any Warrant. Any such adjustments shall be made by and set forth in terms and conditions supplemental hereto approved by action by the directors and by the Warrant Agent, acting reasonably, and shall for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be appropriate adjustments.

24



5.3

Rules Regarding Calculation of Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Common Shares Purchasable Upon Exercise

For the purposes of Section 5.2:

  (a)

The adjustments provided for in Section 5.2 are cumulative, and shall, in the case of adjustments to the Exercise Price be computed to the nearest one-tenth of one cent and shall be made successively whenever an event referred to therein shall occur, subject to the following subsections of this Section 5.3.

     
  (b)

No adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of Warrants shall be required unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% in the prevailing Exercise Price and no adjustment shall be made in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant unless it would result in a change of at least one one-hundredth of a Common Share; provided, however, that any adjustments which, except for the provisions of this subsection 5.3(b) would otherwise have been required to be made, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

25



  (c)

No adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of Warrants shall be made in respect of any event described in Section 5.2, other than the events referred to in subsections 5.2(a)(i), 5.2(a)(ii) and 5.2(a)(iii), if Warrantholders are entitled to participate in such event on the same terms, mutatis mutandis , as if Warrantholders had exercised their Warrants prior to or on the effective date or record date of such event. The terms of the participation of the Warrantholders in such event shall be subject to the prior written approval of any stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Common Shares are then listed or quoted for trading.

       
  (d)

No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be made pursuant to Section 5.2 in respect of the issue from time to time:

       
  (i)

of Common Shares purchased on exercise of the Warrants;

       
  (ii)

of Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course of Common Shares to holders of Common Shares who exercise an option or election to receive substantially equivalent dividends in Common Shares in lieu of receiving a cash dividend pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan or similar plan adopted by the Corporation in accordance with the requirements of the Exchange and applicable securities laws; or

       
  (iii)

of Common Shares pursuant to any stock options, stock option plan, stock purchase plan, restricted share units or restricted share unit plans other benefit plans in force at the date hereof for directors, officers, employees, advisers or consultants of the Corporation, as such option or plan is amended or superseded from time to time in accordance with the requirements of the Exchange and applicable securities laws, and such other benefit plans as may be adopted by the Corporation in accordance with the requirements of the Exchange and applicable securities laws,


 

and any such issue shall be deemed not to be a Common Share Reorganization or Capital Reorganization.

     
  (e)

If a dispute shall at any time arise with respect to adjustments provided for in Section 5.2, such dispute shall be conclusively determined by the Corporation’s Auditors, or if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such other firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by action by the directors and any such determination shall be binding upon the Corporation, the Warrant Agent and the Warrantholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such determination shall be subject to the prior written approval of any stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Common Shares are then listed or quoted for trading. Such auditors or accountants shall be provided access to all necessary records of the Corporation. In the event that any such determination is made, the Corporation shall deliver a certificate to the Warrant Agent and a notice to the Warrantholders in the manner contemplated in Section 3.6 describing such determination.

26



  (f)

In case the Corporation after the date hereof shall take any action affecting the Common Shares, other than action described in Section 5.2, which in the opinion of the directors would materially affect the rights of Warrantholders, the Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise shall be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time, by action by the directors, in their sole discretion, acting reasonably and in good faith, as they may determine to be equitable in the circumstances, but subject in all cases to the prior consent of the Exchange and any other necessary regulatory approval. Failure of the taking of action by the directors so as to provide for an adjustment on or prior to the effective date of any action by the Corporation affecting the Common Shares shall be conclusive evidence that the board of directors of the Corporation has determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances.

     
  (g)

If the Corporation shall set a record date to determine the holders of the Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or distribution or any subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to such Shareholders 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 any Warrant shall be required by reason of the setting of such record date.

     
  (h)

In the absence of a resolution of the directors fixing a record date for a Special Distribution or Rights Offering, the Corporation shall be deemed to have fixed as the record date therefor the date on which the Special Distribution or Rights Offering is effected.

     
  (i)

As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require any adjustment in any of the subscription rights pursuant to any of the Warrants, including the Exercise Price and the number or class of shares or other securities which are to be received upon the exercise thereof, the Corporation shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of counsel to the Corporation, be necessary in order that the Corporation have unissued and reserved in its authorized capital and may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all the shares or other securities which all the holders of such Warrants are entitled to receive on the full exercise thereof in accordance with the provisions thereof and hereof.

5.4        Postponement of Subscription

In any case in which this Article 5 shall require that an adjustment shall be effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein, the Corporation may defer, until the occurrence of such an event:

  (a)

issuing to the holder of any Warrant 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

27



  (b)

delivering to such holder any distributions declared with respect to such additional Common Shares after such Exercise Date and before such event,


provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver or cause to be delivered to such holder, an appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right, upon the occurrence of the event requiring the adjustment, to an adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares purchasable on the exercise of any Warrant and to such distributions declared with respect to any additional Common Shares issuable on the exercise of any Warrant.

     
5.5

Notice of Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Common Shares Purchasable Upon Exercise

     
(a)

At least fourteen (14) Business Days prior to the effective date or record date, as the case may be, of any event which requires or might require adjustment in any of the subscription rights pursuant to any of the Warrants, including the Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares which are purchasable upon the exercise thereof, or such longer period of notice as the Corporation shall be required to provide holders of Common Shares in respect of any such event, the Corporation shall give notice, in the form of a certificate of adjustment, to the Warrant Agent and the Warrantholders of the particulars of such event and, if determinable, the required adjustment and the computation of such adjustment. Notice to the Warrantholders shall be given in the manner specified in Section 3.6.

     

The Warrant Agent may, for all purposes, act and rely upon the certificate of the Corporation submitted to it pursuant to this subsection 5.5(a) and on the accuracy of such certificate, calculations and formulas contained therein. Except as provided in Section 11.1, the Warrant Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Warrantholder to determine whether any facts exist which may require adjustment contemplated by this Article 5, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed in making the same.

     
(b)

The Corporation will not close its transfer books or take any other corporate action which might deprive the Warrantholder of the opportunity of exercising its right of acquisition pursuant thereto during the period of fourteen (14) Business Days after the giving of any notice required by subsection 5.5(a).

     
(c)

In case any adjustment for which a notice in subsection 5.5(a) has been given is not then determinable, the Corporation shall promptly after such adjustment is determinable give notice to the Warrant Agent and the Warrantholders of the adjustment and the computation of such adjustment.

     
(d)

The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Common Shares or of any other shares or securities or property which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exercise or deemed exercise of any Warrant.

28



  (e)

The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Corporation to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver Common Shares or Common Share certificates upon the surrender of any Warrant for the purpose of exercise or deemed exercise of such Warrants, or to comply with any of the covenants contained in this Article 5.

ARTICLE 6

Subject to applicable law, the Corporation may from time to time purchase by invitation for tender, in the open market, by private agreement on any stock exchange or otherwise any or all of the Warrants then outstanding. Any such purchase shall be made at the lowest price or prices at which, in the opinion of the board of directors, such Warrants are then obtainable, plus reasonable costs of purchase, and may be made in such manner, from such Persons, and on such other terms as the Corporation in its sole discretion may determine. The Warrant Certificates representing the Warrants purchased pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall forthwith be delivered to and cancelled by the Warrant Agent.

29

All sums expended or advanced by the Warrant Agent in so doing shall be repayable as provided in Section 7.2.

ENFORCEMENT

8.1

Suits by Warrantholders

       
(a)

Warrantholders May Not Sue . Except to the extent that the rights of an individual Warrantholder or group of Warrantholders would be prejudiced thereby, no Warrantholder has the right to institute any action or proceeding or to exercise any other remedy authorized hereunder for the purpose of enforcing any right on behalf of the Warrantholders as a whole or for the execution of any trust or power hereunder or for the appointment of a liquidator or receiver or receiver and manager or for a receiving order under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) or to have the Corporation wound up or to file or prove a claim in any liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings, unless the Warrant Agent has received a Warrantholders’ Request directing it to take the requested action and has been provided with sufficient funds or other security and/or such indemnity satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, acting reasonably, in respect of the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by it in so proceeding and the Warrant Agent has failed to act within a reasonable time thereafter. If the Warrant Agent has so failed to act, but not otherwise, any Warrantholder acting on behalf of all Warrantholders will be entitled to take any of the proceedings that the Warrant Agent might have taken hereunder. No Warrantholder has any right in any manner whatsoever to effect, disturb or prejudice the rights hereby created by its action or to enforce any right hereunder or under any Warrant, except subject to the conditions and in the manner herein provided.

The Warrant Agent shall be entitled and empowered, either in its own name or as Warrant Agent of an express trust, or as attorney-in-fact for the Warrantholders, or in any one or more of such capacities, to file such proof of debt, amendment of proof of debt, claim, petition or other document as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claim of the Warrant Agent and the Warrantholders allowed in any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or other judicial proceedings relative to the Corporation or its creditors or relative to or affecting its property. The Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably appointed (and the successive respective Warrantholders by taking and holding the same shall be conclusively deemed to have so appointed the Warrant Agent) the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the respective Warrantholders with authority to make and file in the respective names of the Warrantholders or on behalf of the Warrantholders as a class, subject to deduction from any such claims of the amounts of any claims filed by any of the Warrantholders themselves if and to the extent permitted hereunder, any proof of debt, amendment of proof of debt, claim, petition or other document in any such proceedings and to receive payment of any sums becoming distributable on account thereof, and to execute any such other papers and documents and to do and perform any and all such acts and things for and on behalf of the Warrantholders, as may be necessary or advisable in the opinion of the Warrant Agent, in order to have the respective claims of the Warrant Agent and of the Warrantholders against the Corporation or its property allowed in any such proceeding, and to receive payment of or on account of such claims, provided, however, that nothing contained in this Indenture shall be deemed to give the Warrant Agent, unless so authorized by Extraordinary Resolution, any right to accept or consent to any plan of reorganization or otherwise by action of any character in such proceeding to waive or change in any way any right of any Warrantholder.

31

The Warrant Agent shall also have the power, but not the obligation, at any time and from time to time to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may be advised shall be necessary or advisable to preserve and protect its interests and the interests of the Warrantholders.

8.2         Immunity of Shareholders, Etc.

Subject to any rights or remedies available to the Warrantholders under applicable securities legislation, the Warrant Agent and, by their acceptance of the Warrant Certificates and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Warrants, the Warrantholders hereby waive and release any right, cause of action or remedy now or hereafter existing in any jurisdiction against any incorporator or any past, present or future Shareholder, director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or of any successor corporation for the issue of the Common Shares pursuant to any Warrant or on any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty by the Corporation herein or in the Warrant Certificates contained.

ARTICLE 9
MEETINGS OF WARRANTHOLDERS

9.1        Right to Convene Meetings

The Warrant Agent may at any time and from time to time, and shall on receipt of a written request of the Corporation or of a Warrantholders’ Request and upon receiving sufficient funds, determined reasonably, and being indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Corporation or by the Warrantholders signing such Warrantholders’ Request against the cost which may be incurred in connection with the calling and holding of such meeting, convene a meeting of the Warrantholders. In the event the Warrant Agent fails to call a meeting within ten (10) days after receipt of such proper written request of the Corporation or Warrantholders’ Request, funds and indemnity given as aforesaid, the Corporation or such Warrantholders, as the case may be, may convene such meeting. Every such meeting shall be held in the City of Toronto or such other place as may be approved or determined by the Warrant Agent and approved by the Corporation, acting reasonably.

9.2         Notice

At least twenty-one (21) days prior notice of any meeting of Warrantholders shall be given to the Warrantholders in the manner provided for in Section 3.6 and a copy of such notice shall be sent by mail to the Warrant Agent (unless the meeting has been called by the Warrant Agent) and to the Corporation (unless the meeting has been called by the Corporation). Such notice shall state the time when and the place where the meeting is to be held, shall state briefly the general nature of the business to be transacted thereat and shall contain such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Warrantholders to make a reasoned decision on the matter, but it shall not be necessary for any such notice to set out the terms of any resolution to be proposed nor any of the provisions of this Article 9. A notice of meeting may be signed by an appropriate officer of the Warrant Agent or by the Corporation or by the Warrantholder or Warrantholders convening the meeting.

9.3         Chairman

An individual (who need not be a Warrantholder) nominated in writing by the Warrant Agent shall be chairman of the meeting and if no individual is so nominated, or if the individual so nominated is not present within 15 minutes from the time fixed for the holding of the meeting, or if such Person is unable or unwilling to act as chairman, the Warrantholders present in person or by proxy shall choose some individual present to be chairman.

33


9.4         Quorum

Subject to the provisions of Section 9.11, at any meeting of the Warrantholders a quorum shall consist of Warrantholders, present in person or by proxy, representing at least 25% of the then outstanding Warrants, provided that at least two Persons entitled to vote thereat are personally present. If a quorum of the Warrantholders shall not be present within 30 minutes from the time fixed for holding any meeting, the meeting, if summoned by the Warrantholders or on a Warrantholders’ Request, shall be dissolved; but in any other case the meeting shall be adjourned to the same day in the next week (unless such day is not a Business Day in which case it shall be adjourned to the next following Business Day) at the same time and place and, subject to Section 9.11, no notice of the adjournment need be given. Any business may be brought before or dealt with at an adjourned meeting which might have been dealt with at the original meeting in accordance with the notice calling the same. No business shall be transacted at any meeting unless a quorum be present at the commencement of business. At the adjourned meeting the Warrantholders present in Person or by proxy shall form a quorum and may transact the business for which the meeting was originally convened, notwithstanding that they may not represent at least 25% of the then outstanding Warrants.

9.5         Power to Adjourn

The chairman of any meeting at which a quorum of the Warrantholders is present may, with the consent of the meeting, adjourn any such meeting, and no notice of such adjournment need be given except such notice, if any, as the meeting may prescribe.

9.6        Show of Hands

Every question submitted to a meeting shall be decided in the first place by a majority of the votes given on a show of hands except that votes on an Extraordinary Resolution shall be given in the manner hereinafter provided. At any such meeting, unless a poll is duly demanded as herein provided, a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has been carried or carried unanimously or by a particular majority or lost or not carried by a particular majority shall be conclusive evidence of the fact.

Meaning of Extraordinary Resolution

     
(a)

The expression “Extraordinary Resolution” when used in this Indenture means, subject as hereinafter provided in this Section 9.11 and in Section 9.14, a resolution either; (1) proposed at a meeting of Warrantholders duly convened for that purpose and held in accordance with the provisions of this Article 9 at which quorum is present, passed by the affirmative votes of Warrantholders entitled to purchase not less than 662/3% of the aggregate number of Warrants represented at the meeting and voted on the poll upon such resolution; or (2) adopted by an instrument in writing signed by the holders of Warrants representing not less than 662/3% of the aggregate number of all the then outstanding Warrants.

9.13       Minutes

Minutes of all resolutions and proceedings at every meeting of Warrantholders shall be made and duly entered in books to be provided from time to time for that purpose by the Warrant Agent at the expense of the Corporation, and any such minutes as aforesaid, if signed by the chairman of the meeting at which such resolutions were passed or proceedings had, shall be prima facie evidence of the matters therein stated and, until the contrary is proved, every such meeting in respect of the proceedings of which minutes shall have been made shall be deemed to have been duly convened and held, and all resolutions passed or proceedings taken thereat shall be deemed to have been duly passed and taken.

9.14       Instruments In Writing

All actions which may be taken and all powers that may be exercised by the Warrantholders at a meeting held as provided in this Article 9 may also be taken and exercised by Warrantholders representing at least 662/3% of the aggregate number of the then outstanding Warrants by an instrument in writing signed in one or more counterparts by such Warrantholders in person or by attorney duly appointed in writing, and the expression “Extraordinary Resolution” when used in this Indenture shall include an instrument so signed.

(a)

The Warrant Agent may resign its trust and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder, subject to this subsection 11.7(a), by giving to the Corporation not less than thirty (30) days prior notice in writing or such shorter prior notice as the Corporation may accept as sufficient. The Warrantholders by Extraordinary Resolution shall have power at any time to remove the existing warrant agent and to appoint a new warrant agent. In the event of the Warrant Agent resigning or being removed as aforesaid or being dissolved, becoming bankrupt, going into liquidation or otherwise becoming incapable of acting hereunder, the Corporation shall forthwith appoint a new warrant agent unless a new warrant agent has already been appointed by the Warrantholders; failing such appointment by the Corporation, the retiring warrant agent or any Warrantholder may apply to a judge of the Ontario Court of Justice (the “ Court ”), at the Corporation’s expense, on such notice as such justice may direct, for the appointment of a new warrant agent; but any new warrant agent so appointed by the Corporation or by the Court shall be subject to removal as aforesaid by the Warrantholders. Any new warrant agent appointed under any provision of this Section 11.7 shall be a company authorized to carry on the business of a trust company in the Province of Ontario. On any such appointment the new warrant agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named herein as warrant agent without any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed; but there shall be immediately executed, at the expense of the Corporation, all such conveyances or other instruments as may, in the opinion of counsel, be necessary or advisable for the purpose of assuring the same to the new warrant agent, provided that, any resignation or removal of the warrant agent and appointment of a successor warrant agent shall not become effective until the successor warrant agent shall have executed an appropriate instrument accepting such appointment and, at the request of the Corporation, the predecessor warrant agent shall execute and deliver to the successor warrant agent an appropriate instrument transferring to such successor warrant agent all rights and powers of the Warrant Agent hereunder.

The forwarding of a cheque by the Warrant Agent will satisfy and discharge the liability for any amounts due to the extent of the sum or sums represented thereby (plus the amount of any tax deducted or withheld as required by law) unless 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 Warrant Agent, upon being furnished with reasonable evidence of such non-receipt, loss or destruction and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, will issue to such payee a replacement cheque for the amount of such cheque.

The Warrant Agent shall, 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 a public trustee (or other appropriate governmental official or agency) whose receipt shall be good discharge and release of the Warrant Agent.

This provision shall survive the resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent or the termination of this Indenture.

11.15     Notice

The Warrant Agent shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have constructive or actual knowledge of any matter hereunder, including failure by the Corporation to perform any of its covenants in this Indenture or any other breach of the Corporation hereunder, unless the Warrant Agent shall have received from the Corporation or a Warrantholder, a written notice stating the matter in respect of which the Warrant Agent should have actual knowledge and identifying in such notice that it is given in respect of this Indenture.

The Warrant Agent may act on the opinion or advice obtained from counsel to the Warrant Agent and shall, provided it acts in good faith in reliance thereon, not be responsible for any loss occasioned by doing so nor shall it incur any liability or responsibility for determining in good faith not to act upon such opinion or advice. The Warrant Agent may rely, and shall be protected in relying, upon any statement, request, direction 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.

The Warrant Agent shall retain the right not to act and shall not be liable for refusing to act if, due to a lack of information or for any other reason whatsoever, the Warrant Agent, in its sole judgment, acting reasonably, determines that such act might cause it to be in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist legislation, regulation or guideline. Further, should the Warrant Agent, in its sole judgment, determine at any time that its acting under this Warrant Indenture has resulted in its being in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist legislation, regulation or guideline, then it shall have the right to resign on ten (10) days’ written notice to the Corporation, provided that: (i) the Warrant Agent’s written notice shall describe the circumstances of such non-compliance; and (ii) if such circumstances are rectified to the Warrant Agent’s satisfaction within such ten (10) day period, then such resignation shall not be effective.

The Parties acknowledge that federal and/or provincial legislation that addresses the protection of individuals’ personal information (collectively, “ Privacy Laws ”) applies to obligations and activities under this Indenture. Despite any other provision of this Indenture, neither Party shall take or direct any action that would contravene, or cause the other to contravene, applicable Privacy Laws. The Corporation shall, prior to transferring or causing to be transferred personal information to the Warrant Agent, obtain and retain required consents of the relevant individuals to the collection, use and disclosure of their personal information, or shall have determined that such consents either have previously been given upon which the Parties can rely or are not required under the Privacy Laws.

The purchase price of Common Shares subscribed for hereunder shall be paid by certified cheque, money order or bank draft in lawful money of Canada payable to the order of the Corporation at par in the city where this Warrant Certificate is delivered.

In the event of a purchase of a number of Common Shares fewer than the number which can be purchased pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, the holder shall be entitled to receive without charge a new Warrant Certificate in respect of the balance of such Warrants.

This Warrant Certificate and other Warrant Certificates are issued under and pursuant to a certain warrant indenture (herein referred to as the “ Indenture ”) dated March 14, 2016 between the Corporation and the Warrant Agent, to which Indenture and any instruments supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the terms and conditions upon which such Warrant Certificates are issued and are to be held all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Indenture and all instruments supplemental thereto were herein set forth, to all of which provisions the holder of this Warrant Certificate by acceptance hereof assents.

The holding of this Warrant Certificate shall not constitute the holder hereof a holder of Common Shares nor entitle the holder to any right or interest in respect thereof.

The Warrants evidenced hereby shall not be exercised by any person during any time that no registration statement under the 1933 Act registering the offer and sale of the Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants evidenced hereby is effective, provided that , during such time and prior to the Time of Expiry, any person holding such Warrants shall have the right to provide notice to the Corporation of their intent to exercise, at which time the Corporation shall permit such holder to exercise on a cashless basis such Warrant.

The Indenture provides for adjustment in the number of Common Shares to be delivered upon the exercise of the right of purchase hereby granted and to the Exercise Price in certain events therein set forth.

The Indenture contains provisions making binding upon all holders of Warrants outstanding thereunder resolutions passed at meetings of such holders held in accordance with such provisions and instruments in writing signed by Warrantholders holding a specified percentage of Warrants outstanding.

The holder of this Warrant Certificate may at any time up to and including the Time of Expiry upon the surrender hereof to the Warrant Agent at its transfer office in Toronto, Ontario and payment of any charges provided for in the Indenture, exchange this Warrant Certificate for other Warrant Certificates entitling the holder to subscribe in the aggregate for the same number of Common Shares as is expressed in this Warrant Certificate.

This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid for any purpose whatever unless and until it has been countersigned by the Warrant Agent for the time being under the Indenture.

Nothing contained herein or in the Indenture shall confer any right upon the holder hereof or any other person to subscribe for or purchase any Common Shares of the Corporation at any time subsequent to the Time of Expiry.

Energy Fuels Announces Closing of Previously Announced US$12.075 Million Offering of Units

Lakewood, Colorado – March 14, 2016

Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE MKT:UUUU; TSX:EFR) (“Energy Fuels” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed the previously announced public offering (the “Offering”) of Units made pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated March 9, 2016 between the Company and a syndicate of underwriters led by Cantor Fitzgerald Canada Corporation, as sole bookrunner, along with Haywood Securities Inc., Roth Capital Partners, LLC, Dundee Securities Ltd., Raymond James Ltd., and Rodman & Renshaw, a unit of H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC.

Pursuant to the Offering, the Company sold an aggregate of 5,031,250 Units (which includes 656,250 Units that were issued upon the exercise, in full, of the over-allotment option that was granted to the underwriters) at a price of US$2.40 per Unit for gross proceeds of US$12.075 million. Each Unit consists of one common share (each a “Share”) and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant a “Warrant”), or a total of 5,031,250 Shares and 2,515,625 Warrants. Each Warrant will be exercisable until March 14, 2019 and will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Share upon exercise at an exercise price of US$3.20 per Share.

The current intention is to use the net proceeds of the Offering to: (i) continue to fund wellfield construction at the Company’s Nichols Ranch Project in Wyoming; (ii) continue to finance the previously announced shaft sinking and evaluation at the Company’s high-grade Canyon mine project in Arizona; (iii) fund costs associated with the proposed acquisition of Mesteña Uranium, LLC announced earlier this week; (iv) fund the cash portion of the proposed acquisition of the remaining 40% of the Roca Honda Project announced last week; and (v) use any remaining funds for general corporate needs and working capital requirements.

Stephen P. Antony, President and CEO of Energy Fuels commented: “Following today’s financing, Energy Fuels has the liquidity to execute our business plan in a variety of uranium price environments. We recently announced two strategic acquisitions. We are currently under contract to acquire Mesteña Uranium LLC, which is expected to provide the Company with a permitted source of near-term ISR uranium production that is on the lower end of our cost curve. We have also entered into a letter of intent to boost our interest in the Roca Honda Project to 100%, which is expected to increase Energy Fuels’ large-scale conventional production capabilities, at improved uranium prices. In addition, Energy Fuels is currently pursuing two major capital initiatives, including continued shaft sinking and resource evaluation at the high-grade Canyon mine in Arizona and expanding the wellfields at the Nichols Ranch Project in Wyoming. In today’s weak price environment, our ongoing investments and recent corporate initiatives demonstrate Energy Fuels’ focus on our lowest cost sources of uranium production, while at the same time increasing our scalability to improved uranium prices.”
