ARTICLE 4
ANTI-DILUTION

4.1 Defined Terms

The terms defined in this Article 4 are so defined for the purposes of this Article 4 only.

4.2 Anti-Dilution Right

The Company hereby grants to the Shareholder the right to maintain its pro-rata interest (including Shares owned by its Affiliates, including the Subsidiary) in the issued and outstanding Shares from time-to-time if the Company engages in an Equity Financing. At least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the completion of an Equity Financing in which the Company proposes to issue any New Share, the Company shall make an offer in writing (the “Offering Notice”) to sell up to a specified number of New Shares (the “Offered New Shares”) to the Shareholder in accordance with the provisions of this Article in such number as will enable the Shareholder to maintain its proportionate pro-rata interest in the issued and outstanding Shares (including in such calculation Shares owned by the Shareholder’s Affiliates, including the Subsidiary, and the Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debenture), as described below. Each Offering Notice must specify that it is irrevocable and shall include the terms and conditions of the proposed issuance in reasonable detail including a description of the securities to be issued and the price per New Share to be paid by the subscriber (the “Offering Price”). In the event that an Equity Financing involves the issuance of New Shares that are or will become exchangeable for or convertible into Shares, the Shareholder shall be given the right to maintain its proportionate pro-rata interest (including Shares owned by the Subsidiary or any other Affiliates of the Shareholder, and the Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debenture) at the time of exchange or conversion (and each such exchange or conversion shall be deemed to be an Equity Financing for purposes of this Article 4), and the Offering Notice in such event shall be sent within fifteen Business Days after the date of such exercise or conversion.

4.3 Acceptance of Offer

The Shareholder will have ten (10) Business Days after the date of its receipt of an Offering Notice (the “Offering Period”) to accept the offer contained therein by delivering a written notice (the “Acceptance”) to the Company stating:

	(a)	that it accepts the offer; and

	(b)	the number of New Shares (which may be equal to or less than, but which shall not be more than, the number of Offered Shares) that the Shareholder (or one or more of the Shareholder’s Affiliates, including the Subsidiary) is willing to purchase (the “Accepted New Shares”).

If the Company does not receive a duly completed Acceptance from the Shareholder prior to the end of the Offering Period, then the Shareholder will be deemed to have refused the offer.

- 10 -

4.4 Purchase and Issue Obligations

Subject to Section 4.5, on the date that is ten (10) Business Days after the date upon which the Company receives the Acceptance (or on such other date as the Company and the Shareholder may agree in writing but in no event prior to the date of completion of the Equity Financing) the Company will allot and issue to the Shareholder (and/or to the Affiliate or Affiliates designated by the Shareholder in the Acceptance), and the Shareholder (and/or the Affiliate or Affiliates designated by the Shareholder in the Acceptance) will purchase from the Company, for cash in an amount equal to the Offering Price and on the terms specified in the offer, the Accepted New Shares.

4.5 Pricing if Consideration is Other Than Cash

In the event that the consideration received by the Company for New Shares in an Equity Financing is in a form other than cash, the Offering Price shall be the cash equivalent thereof, as determined by the Board, acting reasonably.

4.6 Pro Rata Determination

(a)	For the purpose of Subsection 4.2, above, the number of Offered New Shares (*“X”*) will be calculated as follows:

	(i)	First, the percentage of issued and outstanding Shares owned by the Shareholder (including Shares owned by the Subsidiary and any other Affiliate of the Shareholder, and the Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debenture) (“d”) immediately prior to completion of the Equity Financing shall be determined by dividing the number of Shares owned by the Shareholder (and any Affiliate, as applicable, and the Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debenture) (*“a”) at that time by the total number of Shares issued and outstanding (“b”*) at that time;

	(ii)	Second, the number of Shares issued and outstanding (*“c”) at the date of the Offering Notice shall be determined by adding “b”* to the number of Shares issued or proposed to be issued in the Equity Financing or, where applicable, issued or proposed to be issued upon the exchange or conversion of a convertible security issued as a New Share in the Equity Financing (*“e”*); and

	(iii)	Third, the percentage of issued and outstanding Shares owned by the Shareholder (including those owned by any of its Affiliates, including the Subsidiary, and the Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debenture) after completion of the Equity Financing (or, where applicable, the exchange or conversion of a convertible security issued as a New Share in the Equity Financing) shall be determined by dividing (*“a”) by (“c”*) and multiplying that fraction by 100.

(b)	For the purposes of this Investment Agreement, under no circumstances may the percentage determined in Subsection 4.6(a)(iii) exceed 19.9%.

- 11 -

4.7 Purchase Mechanism

If the Shareholder exercises its anti-dilution rights pursuant to this Article 4, the closing of the issue of the New Shares with respect to which such right has been exercised shall take place (a) in the case of any Equity Financing effected by way of a public offering, simultaneously with the closing of such offering to other investors, (b) in the case of any Equity Financing effected by way of a private placement offering, upon the later to occur of the closing of such offering and thirty (30) calendar days after the giving of notice of such offering, or (c) in the case of an Equity Financing effected by way of the exchange or conversion of any convertible security, as provided in Section 4.4, above. Each party agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to secure any regulatory or other consents required, and to comply with any applicable law or regulation.

ARTICLE 5
VOTING AGREEMENT

For so long as the Shareholder and its Affiliates (including the Subsidiary) own at least ten percent (10%) of the number of issued and outstanding Shares or has a Shareholder’s Director on the Board (and, in any event, at least until the second anniversary of the Effective Date), the Shareholder shall not (and it shall cause any of its Affiliates or Associates not to) directly or indirectly, whether alone or acting jointly or in concert with others, initiate or support any proxy solicitation or other effort to gain control of the Company or its assets and shall (and shall cause any of its Affiliates and Associates to) refrain from making any bid for, or otherwise attempting to acquire legal or beneficial ownership of, an aggregate number of the issued and outstanding Shares in excess of 19.9% of the total number of Shares issued and outstanding (on an undiluted basis) (including Shares owned by Affiliates and Associates of the Shareholder and parties with whom the Shareholder is acting jointly or in concert) unless mutually agreed to by the Company and the Shareholder; provided, however, that this clause shall not apply to a friendly business combination transaction between the Company and the Shareholder as contemplated in the last clause of the Term Sheet.

ARTICLE 6
TERM AND TERMINATION

This Investment Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will terminate on the earlier to occur of the date that (a) the Company and Shareholder agree in writing to the termination of the Investment Agreement or (b) the number of Shares owned by the Shareholder (together with those owned by its Affiliates, including the Subsidiary) represents less than ten per cent (10%) of the aggregate number of Shares issued and outstanding (on a partially diluted basis including Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debenture but excluding Shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants).
