(Conversion Amount/Conversion Price) + the Cumulative Dividend Adjustment for that Note

No fractional Common Shares are to be issued upon the conversion of any Note, but rather the Company, at its option, shall either (a) round up such fraction to the nearest whole share, or (b) pay an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) such fraction, multiplied by (ii) the Closing Sale Price of a Common Share on the date of the Conversion Notice (as defined below), computed to the nearest whole cent, in lieu of issuing a fractional share.

If such Purchaser and the Company are unable to agree upon the determination of the Closing Sale Price or arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being transmitted to the Purchaser, then the Company shall within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile (A) the disputed determination of the Closing Sale Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Requisite Holders or (B) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate to the Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause, at the Company’s expense, the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Purchasers of the results no later than two (2) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent error.

(iv) Record Holder. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Shares issuable upon a conversion of Notes shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Shares on the Conversion Date.

(v) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one Purchaser for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such Notes, the Company shall convert from each Purchaser electing to have Notes converted at such time a pro rata amount of such Purchaser’s Notes submitted for conversion based on the number of Notes submitted for conversion on such date by such Purchaser relative to the number of Notes submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of Common Shares issuable to a Purchaser in connection with a conversion of Notes, the Company shall issue to such Purchaser the number of Common Shares not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 4.1(b)(iii).

4.2. Conversion at the Company’s Election. On any date (the “Conversion Election Date”) after the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date, so long as (A) the Equity Conditions shall have been satisfied or waived in writing by the applicable Purchaser from and including the date of the Company Conversion Election Notice (as defined below) through and including the Company Election Conversion Date (as defined below) and (B) on any twenty (20) out of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the date of the Company Conversion Election Notice, the Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares exceeds 175% of the Conversion Price (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during such period), the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require that some or all of the outstanding Notes be converted (the “Company Conversion Election”) at the applicable Conversion Rate; provided, however, that the Company may not consummate more than one (1) Company Conversion in any thirty (30) Trading Day period. The Company shall exercise its right to Company Conversion Election by providing each Purchaser written notice (“Company Conversion Notice”) by facsimile and overnight courier on the Conversion Election Date. The date on which each of such Purchasers actually receives the Company Conversion Election Notice is referred to herein as the “Company Conversion Election Notice Date.” If the Company elects to require conversion of some, but not all, of such Notes then outstanding, the Company shall require conversion of an amount from each Purchaser equal to the product of (I) the total number of Notes which the Company has elected to convert multiplied by (II) such Purchaser’s Allocation Percentage (such amount with respect to each Purchaser of such Notes being referred to herein as its “Pro Rata Conversion Amount”). In the event that any initial Purchaser of the Notes shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Purchaser’s Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Purchaser’s Allocation Percentage. The Company Conversion Election Notice shall indicate (x) the aggregate principal amount of such Notes the Company has selected for conversion, (y) the date selected by the Company for conversion (the “Company Delivery Date”), which date shall be not less than twenty (20) Trading Days or more than sixty (60) Trading Days after the Company Conversion Election Notice Date, and (z) each Purchaser’s Pro Rata Conversion Amount. Subject to the satisfaction of all the conditions of this Section 4.2, on the Company Election Conversion Date each Purchaser of Notes selected for conversion will be deemed to have submitted a Conversion Notice in accordance with Section 4.1(b)(i) for a the aggregate principal amount of Notes equal to such Purchaser’s Pro Rata Conversion Amount. Notwithstanding the above, any Purchaser may convert such Notes selected for conversion hereunder which shall reduce such Purchaser’s Pro Rata Conversion Amount into Common Shares pursuant to Section 4.1 on or prior to the date immediately preceding the Company Election Conversion Date.

4.3. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments made by the Company hereunder, including any amounts received on a conversion or redemption of the Notes and any amounts on account of interest payments or deemed interest payments, must be made by it without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law. If the Company is aware that it must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is a change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction), it must notify the affected Purchasers promptly.

(b) If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by the Company as it applies on the Closing Date and to the affected Purchaser or Purchasers according to their legal status and domicile as at the Closing Date, then the amount of the payment due from the Company will be increased to an amount which (after making the Tax Deduction including any Tax Deduction applicable to additional sums payable pursuant to this Section 4.3(b)) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required (“Additional Amount”).

(c) If the Company is required to make a Tax Deduction, it must make the minimum Tax Deduction allowed by law and must make any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed by law. As soon as practicable after making a Tax Deduction or a payment required in connection with a Tax Deduction, the Company must deliver to the Purchaser any official receipt or form, if any, provided by or required by the taxing authority to whom the Tax Deduction was paid.

(d) In the event that the Company fails to make a required Tax Deduction or fails to remit a Tax Deduction to the applicable taxing authority, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser for the full amount of any taxes, interest payments and penalties assessed against such Purchaser, including the amount of any taxes payable by such Purchaser in respect of payments received pursuant to this Section 4.3(d).

(e) In addition, the Company agrees to pay in accordance with applicable law any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or in connection with the execution, delivery, registration or performance of, or otherwise with respect to, the Notes (“Other Taxes”). As soon as practicable after making a payment of Other Taxes, the Company must deliver to such Purchaser any official receipt or form, if any, provided by or required by the taxing authority to whom the Tax Deduction was paid.

(f) The obligations of the Company under this Section 4.3 shall survive the Maturity Date of the Notes and the payment for the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

4.4. Adjustments to Conversion Price. The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 4.4.

(a) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Shares. If and whenever on or after the Execution Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 4.4(a) is deemed to have issued or sold, any Common Shares

(including the issuance or sale of Common Shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding Common Shares deemed to have been issued or sold by the Company in connection with any Excluded Security) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (x) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, and (y) the following fraction:

N(0) + N(1)
---------------
N(0) + N(2)

where:

N(0) = the number of Common Shares of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance (without taking into account the conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, including the Notes);

N(1) = the number of Common Shares of such the Company for which the aggregate consideration, if any, received or receivable by the Company for the total number of such additional Common Shares so issued, sold or deemed issued or sold in such dilutive issuance would be convertible or exchangeable at the Conversion Price for such Common Shares in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance; and

N(2) = the number of such additional Common Shares of the Company so issued, sold or deemed issued or sold in such Dilutive Issuance.

For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 4.4(a), the following shall be applicable:

(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one Common Share is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale, then each such Common Share underlying such Option shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 4.4(a)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one Common Share is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one Common Share upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Share or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or

upon the actual issuance of such Common Shares upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one Common Share is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale, then each such Common Share underlying such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 4.4(a)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one Common Share is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one Common Share upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Share upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 4.4(a), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Shares changes at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 4.4(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Execution Date are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Shares deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.

(iv) Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $0.01. If any Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Closing Sale Price of such

securities on the date of receipt of such securities. If any Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Requisite Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within ten (10) Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Requisite Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

(v) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them (I) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Shares, Options or in Convertible Securities or (II) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Common Shares deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

(b) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Shares. If the Company at any time after the Execution Date subdivides (by any share split, share dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time after the Execution Date combines (by combination, reverse share split or otherwise) its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

(c) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 4.4 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of share appreciation rights, “phantom stock rights” or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Purchasers; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 4.4.

(d) Notices.

(i) Immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 4.4, the Company will give written notice thereof to each Purchaser, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of such adjustment, then such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.1(b)(iii).

(ii) The Company will give written notice to each Purchaser at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (I) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Shares, (II) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Shares or (III) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such Purchaser.

(iii) The Company will also give written notice to each Purchaser at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which any Fundamental Transaction will take place, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such Purchaser.

(e) Additional Notes; Variable Securities; Dilutive Issuances. For so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Requisite Holders, issue any Notes and the Company shall not issue any other securities that would cause a breach or default under this Agreement other than those issued pursuant to the Series B Note Purchase Agreement. For so long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall not, in any manner, issue or sell any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Shares at a conversion, exchange or exercise price which varies or may vary after issuance with the market price of the Common Shares, including by way of one or more reset(s) to any fixed price unless the conversion, exchange or exercise price of any such security cannot be less than the then applicable Conversion Price with respect to the Common Shares into which any Notes are convertible.

4.5. Limitation on Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect any conversion of Notes, and no Purchaser shall have the right to convert any Notes, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the beneficial owner of such shares (together with such Person’s Affiliates) would have acquired, through conversion of Notes or otherwise, beneficial ownership of a number of Common Shares that exceeds 9.99% (“Maximum Percentage”) of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing, the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by a Person and its Affiliates shall include the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of Common Shares which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted Notes beneficially owned by such Person or any of its Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other notes, preferred shares or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section beneficially owned by such Person or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4.5, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. For purposes of this Section 4.5, in determining the number of outstanding Common Shares, a Purchaser may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-KSB, Form 10-Q, Form 10-QSB or Form 8-K, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Common Shares outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of

any Purchaser, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day following the receipt of such notice, confirm orally and in writing to any such Purchaser the number of Common Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Notes, by such Purchaser and its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding Common Shares was reported. By written notice to the Company, any Purchaser may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% nor below 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided, that (I) any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such written notice is delivered to the Company, and (II) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Purchaser providing such written notice and not to any other Purchaser.

4.6. Limitation on Number of Common Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not issue any Common Shares upon conversion of the Notes if the issuance of such Common Shares would:

(a) exceed that number Common Shares which the Company may issue upon conversion of the Notes without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market, or any other the market or exchange where the Common Shares are then traded (the “Exchange Cap”); or

(b) be an issuance of Common Shares at an effective issue price per Common Share that is less than the market price for the Common Shares (as defined pursuant to Section 601 of the Toronto Stock Exchange Company Manual) as at the date on which the Company entered into this Agreement, less a discount of twenty percent (20%), except that such limitations shall not apply in the event that the Company (c) obtains Shareholder Approval as required by the applicable rules of both the Principal Market and the Toronto Stock Exchange (and any successor rules or regulations) for issuances of Common Shares in excess of such number of Common Shares, or at an effective price per Common Share that is less than such discount from the market price, or (d) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. Until such approval or written opinion is obtained, no Purchaser shall be issued, in the aggregate, upon conversion of the Notes, Common Shares in an amount greater than the product of (i) the Exchange Cap amount multiplied by (ii) their Allocation Percentage (the “Exchange Cap Allocation”) nor shall the Company issue any Common Shares at an effective price per Common Share that is less than such discount from the market price. In the event that any Purchaser shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Purchaser’s Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Purchaser’s Exchange Cap Allocation. In the event that any Purchaser shall convert all of such Purchaser’s Notes into a number of Common Shares which, in the aggregate, is less than such Purchaser’s Exchange Cap Allocation, then the difference between such Purchaser’s Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of Common Shares actually issued to such Purchaser shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining Purchasers on a pro rata basis in proportion to the number of Notes then held by each such Purchaser.

(e) The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in the alteration, loss, impairment of or restriction on the Company’s ownership or right to use any of the Intellectual Property or Confidential Information that is necessary for the conduct of the Company’s business as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted, except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.17. Environmental Matters.

(a) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has been and is in compliance with all applicable U.S. and Canadian federal, state, provincial, municipal and local laws, statutes, ordinances, bylaws and regulations and orders, directives and decisions rendered by any ministry, department or administrative or regulatory agency, domestic or foreign, (“Environmental Laws”) relating to the protection of the environment, occupational health and safety or the processing, use, treatment, storage, disposal, discharge, transport or handling of any pollutants, contaminants, chemicals or industrial, toxic or hazardous wastes or substance except where such non-compliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company on a consolidated basis.

5.21. Brokers and Finders. Except for the cash commission to be paid (the “Cash Placement Agents Fee”) to the Placement Agents pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agents Agreement in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, no Person will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any valid right, interest or claim against or upon the Company or any Purchaser for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by or on behalf of the Company.

Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates, nor to the Company’s Knowledge any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any Company security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would adversely affect reliance by the Company on Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act for the exemption from the registration requirements imposed under Section 5 of the 1933 Act for the transactions contemplated hereby or that would require such registration under the 1933 Act.

5.24. Private Placement.

The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in 1934 Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures with the intent of ensuring that material information relating to the Company is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s most recently filed period report under the 1934 Act, as the case may be, is being prepared. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the most recent periodic reporting period under the 1934 Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the 1934 Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date and such conclusions are accurate in all material respects. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 308(c) of Regulation S-K) or, to the Company’s Knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls.

5.31. Application of Takeover Protections; Rights Agreement. The Company and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Notice of Articles and Articles or the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation or incorporation which is or could become applicable to any Purchaser as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company’s issuance of the Notes and Common Shares upon conversion thereof and any Purchaser’s ownership of the Notes or Common Shares.

6. Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each of the Purchasers hereby severally, and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company and the Placement Agents that:

6.1. Organization; Authorization. For each Purchaser that is an entity, such Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite corporate or organizational power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated in the Note Documents and to otherwise carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Note Documents to which such Purchaser is a party have been duly authorized and will each constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability, relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally.

6.2. Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Notes to be purchased by the Purchaser hereunder will be acquired by the Purchaser as principal for the Purchaser’s own account, for investment purposes, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the 1933 Act, and the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇. The Purchaser is not a registered broker dealer or an entity engaged in the business of being a broker dealer.

6.3. Investment Experience. The Purchaser acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk and complete loss of its investment in the Notes and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of

the investment contemplated hereby. The Purchaser is experienced in making private investments in public equities, similar to the purchase of the Notes hereunder.

6.4. Disclosure of Information. The Purchaser has no knowledge of any “material fact” or “material change” (as those terms are defined in the Securities Act (British Columbia)) in the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed to the public, other than this particular transaction; the Purchaser’s decision to tender this offer and purchase the Notes has not been made as a result of any verbal or written representation as to fact or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Company, or any other Person and is based entirely upon currently available public information concerning the Company. The Purchaser has had an opportunity to receive all additional information related to the Company requested by it and to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company regarding the Company and its business, to the extent such information is not material nonpublic information, and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Notes. The Purchaser acknowledges its satisfactory review of the SEC Filings and SEDAR Filings. The Purchaser acknowledges that it has been afforded the opportunity to obtain such additional information, other than material nonpublic information, that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.

6.5. Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the Notes and the Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof are “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and agrees not to resell such Notes and such Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof unless the Notes and the Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof are registered pursuant to the 1933 Act, or resold in accordance with Rule 144 or another exemption from registration is available therefrom. In connection with any transfer of the Notes or the Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, except as provided for in Section 8.9, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Notes or such Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof, as applicable, under the 1933 Act and such transfer is in compliance with Rule 144 or another exemption from registration. The Purchaser understands that the Notes and the Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof are subject to resale restrictions in Canada under applicable Canadian securities laws.

6.6. Legends.

(a) It is understood that Notes shall bear the following legend:

“The securities represented hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and may not be transferred unless (i) such securities have been registered for sale pursuant to the 1933 Act, or (ii) the Company has received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may lawfully be made without registration under Rule 144 under the 1933 Act or qualification under applicable state securities laws.”

“In Canada, unless permitted under securities legislation, the holder of this security must not trade the security before ________________ [NOTE: Insert the date that is 4 months plus one (1) day after issuance].”

(b) It is understood that certificates evidencing the Common Shares issued upon conversion of the Notes shall bear the following legends:

“The securities represented hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and may not be transferred unless (i) such securities have been registered for sale pursuant to the 1933 Act, or (ii) the Company has received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may lawfully be made without registration under Rule 144 under the 1933 Act or qualification under applicable state securities laws.”

The securities represented by this certificate are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”); however, the said securities cannot be traded through the facilities of TSX since they are not freely transferable, and consequently any certificate representing such securities is not “good delivery” in settlement of transactions on TSX.”

(c) If required by the authorities of any state or province in connection with the issuance of sale of the Notes, the legend required by such state or provincial authority.

6.7. Investor Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Notes, it was, and at the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, as amended, under the 1933 Act, and has completed and delivered with this Agreement the U.S. Accredited Investor Certificate attached as Schedule III, the representations and warranties contained in such certificate being incorporated and forming part of this Agreement, and it was, and at the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in NI 45-106, and has completed and delivered with this Agreement the Canadian Accredited Investor Certificate attached as Schedule IV, the representations and warranties contained in such certificate being incorporated and forming part of this Agreement. The Purchaser is a resident of that jurisdiction specified in its address on the Schedule of Purchasers attached hereto.

6.8. No General Solicitation. The Purchaser did not learn of the investment in the Notes as a result of any “general advertising” or “general solicitation” as those terms are contemplated in Regulation D, as amended, under the 1933 Act.

6.9. Brokers and Finders. No Person will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any valid right, interest or claim against or upon the Company,

or any Purchaser for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by or on behalf of the Purchaser.

6.10. Prohibited Transactions. During the last thirty (30) days prior to the Execution Date, neither the Purchaser nor any Affiliate of such Purchaser that (x) has or had knowledge of the transactions contemplated hereby, (y) has or shares discretion relating to such Purchaser’s investments or trading or information concerning such Purchaser’s investments, including in respect of the Notes, or (z) is subject to such Purchaser’s review or input concerning such Affiliate’s investments or trading (collectively, “Trading Affiliates”) has, directly or indirectly, effected or agreed to effect any transactions in the securities of the Company, including any short sale, whether or not against the box, established any “put equivalent position” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) with respect to the Common Shares, granted any other right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to the Common Shares or with respect to any security that includes, relates to or derived any significant part of its value from the Common Shares or otherwise sought to hedge its position in the Notes (each, a “Prohibited Transaction”). Such Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Trading Affiliates not to, engage, directly or indirectly, in a Prohibited Transaction during the period from the date hereof until such time as (i) the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced or (ii) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof.

6.11 Limited Ownership. The purchase by such Purchaser of the Notes issuable to it at the Closing will not result in such Purchaser (individually or together with other Person with whom such Purchaser has identified, or will have identified, itself as part of a “group” in a public filing made with the SEC involving the Company’s securities) acquiring, or obtaining the right to acquire, in excess of 19.999% of the outstanding Common Shares or the voting power of the Company on a post transaction basis that assumes that such Closing shall have occurred or otherwise becoming a “control person” of the Company as such term is defined under applicable securities laws. Such Purchaser does not presently intend to, alone or together with others, make a public filing with the SEC to disclose that it has (or that it together with such other Persons have) acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, as a result of such Closing (when added to any other securities of the Company that it or they then own or have the right to acquire), in excess of 19.999% of the outstanding Common Shares or the voting power of the Company on a post transaction basis that assumes that the Closing at issue shall have occurred.

6.12. Independent Investment Decision. Such Purchaser has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase Notes pursuant to the Note Documents, and such Purchaser confirms that it has not relied on the advice of any other Purchaser’s business and/or legal counsel in making such decision. Such Purchaser has not relied on the business or legal advice of the Company or the Placement Agents or any of their agents, counsel or Affiliates in making its investment decision hereunder.

The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information.

The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue the listing and trading of its Common Shares on AMEX and TSX and, in accordance, therewith, will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations applicable to issuers whose securities are listed on such market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 8.7.

8.8. Securities Filings.

The restrictive legend appearing in the second paragraph of Section 6.6(b) may be removed at the time of a transfer occurring on or after the date specified therein. The restrictive legend appearing in the third paragraph of Section 6.6(b) may be removed at such time as both the first and second paragraphs have been removed or are eligible for removal. When the Company is required to cause unlegended certificates to replace previously issued legended certificates, if unlegended certificates are not delivered to a Purchaser within three (3) Business Days of submission by that Purchaser of legended certificate(s) to the Company’s transfer agent together with a representation letter in customary form, the Company shall be liable to the Purchaser for damages in an amount equal to 1.0% of the Aggregate Purchase Price of the Notes evidenced by such certificate(s) for each thirty (30) day period (or portion thereof) beyond such three (3) Business Day that the unlegended certificates have not been so delivered.

8.10. Consent of JPMorgan Chase Bank. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, acting diligently and in good faith, to obtain consent of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. with respect to the Private Placement and the transactions contemplated by the Note Documents as soon as practicable.

The Company shall provide each shareholder entitled to vote at a special or annual meeting of shareholders of the Company (the “Shareholder Meeting”), which initially shall be promptly called and held not later than March 31, 2007 (the “Shareholder Meeting Deadline”), a proxy statement, substantially in the form which has been previously reviewed by the Purchasers and Placement Agents Counsel at the expense of the Company, soliciting each such shareholder’s affirmative vote at the Shareholder Meeting for approval of resolutions (the “Resolutions”) providing for the Company’s issuance of all of the Notes and Common Shares upon conversion thereof as described in the Note Documents in accordance with applicable law and the rules and regulations of the Exchange (such affirmative approval being referred to herein as the “Shareholder Approval” and the date such approval is obtained, the “Shareholder Approval Date”), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit its shareholders’ approval of the Resolutions and to cause the Board to recommend to the shareholders that they approve the Resolutions. The Company shall be obligated to seek to obtain the Shareholder Approval by the Shareholder Meeting Deadline. If, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts, the Shareholder Approval is not obtained on or prior to the Shareholder Meeting Deadline, the Company shall solicit Shareholder Approval at the annual shareholders meeting each year and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Shareholder Approval until Shareholder Approval is obtained. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Shareholder Approval is required in order to issue Common Shares upon conversion of the Notes in excess of the Exchange Cap, then the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Shareholder Approval on a quarterly basis, rather than annually, until Shareholder Approval is obtained.

8.12. Pledge of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Notes or Common Shares upon conversion thereof may be pledged by a Purchaser in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Notes or Common Shares. The pledge of such Notes or Common Shares shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the securities hereunder; provided that Purchaser acknowledges that if the Company is deemed to be a PFIC (as defined below) then such pledge will be a taxable disposition for U.S. tax purposes. No Purchaser effecting a pledge of Notes or Common Shares shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Note Document. The Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Notes or Common Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Notes or Common Shares to such pledgee by a Purchaser.

8.13. Reservation of Common Shares. The Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than the sum of 130% of the maximum number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes (assuming for purposes hereof, that the Notes are convertible at the Conversion Price).

8.14. No Future Integrated Offerings. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, their Affiliates and any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps referred to in Section 5.23 that would require registration of any of the Notes or Common Shares (other than for resale) upon conversion thereof under the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇.

8.15. Reporting Status. Until the later of the date on which none of the Notes are outstanding or the Purchasers shall have sold all the Common Shares upon conversion of the Notes (the “Reporting Period”), the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act and with Canadian securities regulators pursuant to Canadian securities laws, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would no longer require or otherwise permit such termination. From and after the Closing Date, the Company shall take all actions necessary to maintain its eligibility to register the Common Shares for resale by the Purchasers on Form S-1 or whatever registration form is then available to the Company and will register the Common Shares for resale in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement.

8.16. Financial Information. The Company agrees to send the following to each Purchaser during the Reporting Period (i) unless the following are filed with the SEC through ▇▇▇▇▇ and are available to the public through the ▇▇▇▇▇ system, within one (1) Business Day after the filing thereof with the SEC, a copy of its Annual Reports and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-K, 10-KSB, 10-Q or 10-QSB, any interim reports or any consolidated balance sheets, income statements, stockholders’ equity statements and/or cash flow statements for any period other than annual, any Current Reports on Form 8-K and any registration statements (other than on Form S-8) or amendments filed pursuant to the 1933 Act and (ii) copies of any notices and other information made available or given to the shareholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the making available or giving thereof to the shareholders.

8.17. Disclosure. Upon receipt or delivery by the Company of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, unless the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day after any such receipt or delivery publicly disclose such material, nonpublic information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise. In the event that the Company believes that a notice contains material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to the Purchasers contemporaneously with delivery of such notice, and in the absence of any such indication, the Purchasers shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries.

8.18. Assumption. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes (in addition to the Company, if the Company then remains in existence) in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement and the other Note Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.18 pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Requisite Holders and approved by the Requisite Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction; and (ii) to following the Fundamental Transaction, the Company shall be able to deliver to Purchasers,

upon conversion of the Notes, securities that are prescribed securities under Regulation 6208 of the Income Tax Act (Canada). Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Purchasers confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion of the Notes at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, either Common Shares or shares of common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 8.18 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Notes.

8.19. Pre-Emptive Rights.

(a) If the Company intends, directly or indirectly, to offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition of) any of its equity or equity equivalent securities, including without limitation any debt, preferred shares or other instrument or security that is, at any time during its life and under any circumstances, convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for its Common Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into its Common Shares, other than pursuant to the Series B Note Offering or Common Shares issued for strategic investments or bona fide acquisitions, firmly underwritten public offerings with gross proceeds in excess of US $50,000,000 and any Approved Shares Plan (any such offer, sale, grant, disposition or announcement being referred to as a “Subsequent Placement”), the Company shall have first complied with this Section 8.19.

(b) The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser, so long as such Purchaser is then a holder of outstanding Notes, a written notice (the “Offer Notice”) of any proposed or intended issuance or sale (the “Offer”) of the securities being offered (the “Offered Securities”) in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (w) identify and describe the Offered Securities, (x) describe the price and other terms upon which they are to be issued or sold, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be issued or sold, (y) identify the persons or entities (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued or sold and (z) offer to issue and sell to such Purchasers, so long as such Purchasers are then a holder of outstanding Notes, an aggregate amount representing thirty percent (30%) of the amount of the Subsequent Placement, to be allocated among such Purchasers (i) based on such Purchaser’s Allocation Percentage (the “Basic Amount”), and (ii) with respect to each Purchaser that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other Purchasers as such Purchaser shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should the other Purchasers subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription Amount”).

(c) To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Purchaser must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the end of the second (2nd) Business Day by 5:00 p.m New York City time after such Purchaser’s receipt of the Offer Notice containing the final definitive terms of the Subsequent Placement (the “Offer Period”), setting forth the portion of such Purchaser’s Basic Amount that such Purchaser elects to purchase and, if such Purchaser shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Purchaser elects to purchase (in either case, the “Notice Of Acceptance”). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Purchasers are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each

Purchaser who has set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, that if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “Available Undersubscription Amount”), each Purchaser who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Purchaser bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Purchasers that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by the Company to the extent its deems reasonably necessary.

(d) If the Purchasers, collectively, do not elect to purchase 30% of the Subsequent Placement which may be purchased by such Purchasers pursuant to this Section 8.19, the Issuer may offer and sell the securities to which the Purchasers were entitled to purchase hereunder, or the securities not purchasable by the Purchasers hereunder, as the case may be, to a third party (which may include any Purchaser), provided that such sale must occur within thirty (30) days of the Subsequent Placement Closing Date and on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice. Any such sale made after such thirty-day period, or on terms or conditions different than the terms set forth in the Offer Note, must again be offered to the Purchasers in accordance with Section 8.19 above. Each purchase of securities by Purchasers pursuant to this Section 8.19 shall take place on the Subsequent Placement Closing Date

8.20. Change of Control Repayment Right.

(a) No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Purchasers, which notice shall include an offer to repay the Notes for the Change of Control Prepayment Price, as defined below (a “Change of Control Notice”). At any time during the period (the “Change of Control Period”) beginning after a Purchaser’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending on the date that is twenty (20) Trading Days after the consummation of such Change of Control, such Purchaser may accept the Company’ offer to prepay all or any portion of such Purchaser’s Notes by delivering written notice thereof (“Change of Control Prepayment Notice”) to the Company, which Change of Control Prepayment Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Purchaser is electing to receive payment of. Any Notes subject to prepayment pursuant to this Section 8.20 shall be prepayed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the greater of (i) the product of (A) the Change of Control Prepayment Premium and (B) the Conversion Amount being prepayed and (ii) (1) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount being prepayed multiplied by (B) the quotient determined by dividing (I) the aggregate cash consideration and the aggregate cash value of any non-cash consideration per Common Share to be paid to the holders of the Common Shares upon consummation of the Change of Control (any such non-cash consideration consisting of marketable securities to be valued at the higher of (x) the Closing Sale Price of such securities as of the Trading Day immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, (y) the Closing Sale Price as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of such proposed Change of Control and (z) the Closing Sale Price as of the Trading Day immediately prior to the public announcement of such proposed Change of Control) by (II) the Conversion Price (the “Change of Control Prepayment Price”).

(b) The Company shall, subject to the terms and conditions of any Senior Debt then outstanding, make payment in cash of the Change of Control Prepayment Price concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such a Change of Control Redemption Notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and within five (5) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of such notice otherwise (the “Change of Control Prepayment Date”). To the extent redemptions required by this Section 8.20 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Notes by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.20, until the Change of Control Prepayment Price is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for Prepayment under this Section 8.20 may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Purchaser into Common Shares, or in the event the Conversion Date is after the consummation of the Change of Control, shares or equity interests of the Successor Entity substantially equivalent to the Company’s Common Shares pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(i).

(d) The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s prepayment of any portion of the Notes under this Section 8.20, the Purchaser’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Purchaser. Accordingly, any prepayment premium due under this Section 8.20 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Purchaser’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. In the event that the Company does not pay the Change of Control Prepayment Price on the Change of Control Prepayment Date, then the Purchaser shall have the option to, in lieu of prepayment, require the Company to promptly return to such Purchaser any or all of the Notes that were submitted for prepayment by such Purchaser under this Section 8.20 and for which the applicable Change of Control Prepayment Price (together with any interest thereon) has not been paid, by sending written notice thereof to the Company via facsimile (the “Void Change of Control Prepayment Notice”). Upon the Company’s receipt of such Void Change of Control Prepayment Notice, (i) the Change of Control Prepayment Notice shall be null and void with respect to those Notes subject to the Void Change of Control Prepayment Notice, (ii) the Company shall immediately return any Notes subject to the Void Change of Control Prepayment Notice, and (iii) the Conversion Price of such returned Notes shall be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the Void Change of Control Prepayment Notice is delivered to the Company and (B) the lowest Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares during the period beginning on the date on which the Change of Control Prepayment Notice is delivered to the Company and ending on the date on which the Void Change of Control Prepayment Notice is delivered to the Company.

8.21. Tax Matters. The Company and, by its acceptance of the Note or a beneficial interest therein, each Purchaser (and any person that acquires a beneficial interest in) a Note, agree to treat the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes as indebtedness of the Company that is not subject to the rules governing contingent payment debt instruments under U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4.

8.22. PFIC Status. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that it does not become a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”) within the meaning of Section 1297 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If the Company determines that it is a PFIC for any taxable year in which the Notes are outstanding, it shall notify the Purchasers of such determination as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than the 45th day following the close of such taxable year. If the Company becomes a PFIC, the Company agrees to provide all information requested by any Purchaser that is necessary for such Purchaser to make a “qualified electing fund” election. The Company’s obligation under this Section 8.22 shall survive until the 180th day following the close of the last taxable year of the Company in which any Notes are outstanding

9. Defaults and Remedies.

9.1. Event of Default. An “Event of Default” shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as any of the following events:

(a) the Company defaults in the payment when due of interest (and Additional Amounts, if any) on the Notes and such default continues for a period of 30 days;

(b) the Company defaults in the payment when due of principal on the Notes when the same becomes due and payable upon the earlier of: (i) the Maturity Date, or (ii) such other date as the Note becomes due and payable or purchasable or redeemable pursuant to this Agreement;

(c) the Company fails to observe or perform any other covenant or other agreement in this Agreement (other than the delivery of a Change of Control Notice as required by Section 8.20 hereof), the Notes or the other Note Documents for 30 days after notice to the Company by the Purchasers of at least 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding;

(d) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (i) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or any Subsidiary of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (ii) a decree or order adjudging the Company or any Subsidiary as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company or any Subsidiary under any applicable Federal or State law or (iii) appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or any Subsidiary or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days;

(e) the commencement by the Company or any Subsidiary of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or any Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable

Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or any Subsidiary or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company or any Subsidiary in furtherance of any such action;

(f) a default occurs with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and any applicable grace periods in such Indebtedness with respect to such event of default shall have expired and which default results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its stated maturity; provided that (i) if such event of default is waived by the holders of such Indebtedness prior to any Purchaser taking any action pursuant to this Agreement, no Event of Default under this clause (f) shall be deemed to have occurred, or (ii) the principal amount of such Indebtedness under which the maturity has been so accelerated exceeds US$500,000;

(g) a final money judgment for more than US$500,000 is issued and not discharged within 60 days; or

(h) the Company fails to deliver a Change of Control Notice as required by Section 8.20 by the date that is ten (10) Trading Days after the consummation of such Change of Control.

9.2. Notice. Within one (1) Business Day after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Event of Default”) to each Purchaser.

9.3. Default Interest. If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the holders of the Notes shall be entitled to receive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest on the outstanding balance of, overdue interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes at a rate per annum equal to 12%.

9.4. Acceleration. If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and subject to the Subordination Agreement, the Requisite Holders may, without notice: (i) declare all or any portion of the Notes immediately due and payable, all without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Company and each of its Subsidiaries; or (ii) exercise any other rights and remedies provided to Purchasers under the Note Documents or at law or equity.

9.5. Redemption Option Upon Event of Default.

(a) In addition to all other rights of the Purchasers contained herein, after a Event of Default, each Purchaser shall have the right, at such Purchaser’s option, to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of such Purchaser’s Notes at a redemption price per Note equal to the greater of (i) 110% of the Conversion Amount and (ii) the product of (A)

the Conversion Rate in effect at such time as such Purchaser delivers a Notice of Redemption at Option of Purchaser (as defined below) and (B) the greater of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day immediately preceding such Event of Default, the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares on the day immediately following such Event of Default and the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares on the date the Purchaser delivers the Notice of Redemption at Option of Purchaser (the “Redemption Price”).

(b) At any time after the earlier of a Purchaser’s receipt of a Notice of Event of Default and such Purchaser becoming aware of a Event of Default, any Purchaser of Notes then outstanding may require the Company to redeem up to all of such Purchaser’s Notes by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Redemption at Option of Purchaser”) to the Company, which Notice of Redemption at Option of Purchaser shall indicate the number of Notes that such Purchaser is electing to redeem.

(c) Upon the Company’s receipt of a Notice(s) of Redemption at Option of Purchaser from any Purchaser, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day of such receipt notify each other Purchaser by facsimile of the Company’s receipt of such notice(s). The Company shall, subject to the terms and conditions of any Senior Debt then outstanding, make payment in cash on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Company’s receipt of the first Notice of Redemption at Option of Purchaser of the applicable Redemption Price (the “Event of Default Redemption Date”) to all Purchasers that deliver a Notice of Redemption at Option of Purchaser prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Company’s receipt of the first Notice of Redemption at Option of Purchaser. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 9.5 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Notes by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. If the Company is unable to redeem all of the Notes submitted for redemption, the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each Purchaser based on the aggregate principal amount of Notes submitted for redemption by such Purchaser relative to the total number of Notes submitted for redemption by all Purchasers. The Purchasers and Company agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any Notes under this Section 9.5, the Purchasers’ damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Purchasers. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 9.5 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Purchasers’ actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

(d) In the event that the Company does not pay the Redemption Price within the time period set forth in Section 9.5(f), at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid applicable Redemption Price in full, a Purchaser shall have the option to, in lieu of redemption, require the Company to promptly return to such Purchaser any or all of the Notes that were submitted for redemption by such Purchaser under this Section 3 and for which the applicable Redemption Price has not been paid, by sending written notice thereof to the Company via facsimile (the “Void Optional Redemption Notice”). Upon the Company’s receipt of such Void Optional Redemption Notice, (i) the Notice of Redemption at Option of Purchaser shall be null and void with respect to those Notes subject to the Void Optional Redemption Notice, (ii) the Company shall immediately return any Notes subject to the Void Optional Redemption Notice, and (iii) the Conversion Price of such returned Notes shall be

adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the Void Optional Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company and (B) the lowest Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares during the period beginning on the date on which the Notice of Redemption at Option of Purchaser is delivered to the Company and ending on the date on which the Void Optional Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company.

(e) In the event of a dispute as to the determination of the arithmetic calculation of the Redemption Price, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(iii) with the term “Redemption Price” being substituted for the term “Conversion Rate”. A Purchaser’s delivery of a Void Optional Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice. In the event of a redemption pursuant to this Section 9.5 of less than all of the Notes represented by a particular Note tendered for partial redemption, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Purchaser of such Notes a new Note representing the remaining principal amount of the Notes which have not been redeemed, if necessary.

10. Registration and Transfer of Notes.

10.1. Note Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Purchasers), a register for the Notes, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the persons in whose name the Notes have been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company shall treat the person in whose name any Note is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any properly made transfers. The Company shall only pay principal and interest to the registered owners of the Notes.

10.2. Transfer and Conversion of Note. Upon surrender of one or more Notes for registration of transfer or for exchange to the Company at their principal office with evidence that all applicable transfer taxes have been paid and that such transfer is in compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company at their expense will execute and deliver in exchange therefore one or more Notes in the aggregate unpaid principal amount(s) of such surrendered Note(s). Each such new Note shall be registered in the name of such Person, or its nominee, as such Purchaser or transferee may request, dated so that there will be no loss of interest on such surrendered Note and otherwise of like tenor. Transfer of the Notes may be effected only in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 10.2.

10.3. Lost or Stolen Notes. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Notes, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of an indemnification undertaking by the Purchaser to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Notes, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Note of like tenor and date; provided, however, the Company shall not be obligated to re-issue such new Note if the Purchaser contemporaneously requests the Company to convert such Notes into Common Shares.

11. Survival and Indemnification.

11.1. Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date for a period of twelve (12) months; provided, however, that the provisions contained in Section 4.3 and Section 8 hereof shall survive in accordance therewith and the representations contained in Section 5.12 shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

11.2. Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, each Purchaser and their respective Affiliates and the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Purchaser and their respective Affiliates, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorney fees and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim or proceeding, pending or threatened and the costs of enforcement hereof) (collectively, “Losses”) to which such Person may become subject as a result of any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by, or to be performed on the part of, the Company under the Note Documents, and will reimburse any such Person for all such amounts as they are incurred by such Person.

11.3. Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any Person (the “Indemnified Person”) of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 11.2, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditions, but if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Person from and against any Losses by reason of such judgment. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

12. Miscellaneous.

12.1. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by a party hereto without the prior written consent of the Company or the Purchasers, as applicable; provided, however, that a Purchaser may assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder in whole or in part to an Affiliate or to a third party, that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, as amended under the 1933 Act and is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Canadian securities laws, and that shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective permitted successors and assigns of the parties. Except for the Placement Agents, which are express intended third party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and except for provisions of this Agreement expressly to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

12.2. Counterparts; Faxes. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may also be executed via facsimile, which shall be deemed an original.

12.3. Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

12.4. Notices. Unless otherwise provided, any notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given as hereinafter described on the earlier of (i) if given by personal delivery, then such notice shall be deemed given upon such delivery; (ii) if given by facsimile or electronic mail, then such notice shall be deemed given upon receipt of confirmation of complete transmittal; (iii) if given by mail, then such notice shall be deemed given upon the earlier of (A) receipt of such notice by the recipient, or (B) three days after such notice is deposited in first class mail, postage prepaid; (iv) if given by an internationally recognized overnight air courier, then such notice shall be deemed given one day after delivery to such carrier; and (v) upon actual receipt by the party to whom the notice is required to be given. All notices shall be addressed to the party to be notified at the address as follows, or at such other address as such party may designate by ten days’ advance written notice to the other party:

12.7. Publicity. No public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by the Purchasers without the prior consent of the Company, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld, except as such release or announcement may be required by law or the applicable rules or regulations of any securities exchange or securities market, in which case the Purchasers shall allow the Company to the extent reasonably practicable in the circumstances, reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance.

Service of process in connection with any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on each party hereto anywhere in the world by the same methods as are specified for the giving of notices under this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding and to the laying of

venue in such court. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

12.12. SUBORDINATION.

(a) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT, DOCUMENT, CERTIFICATE, OR INSTRUMENT GIVEN IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATED TO OR AFFECTING THE NOTES, the Company’s obligation to make, and the Purchasers right to receive, any interest payments or distribution (whether in cash, securities (other than Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes) or other property) or any direct or indirect payment of any kind or character (whether in cash, securities (other than Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes) or other property) in consideration for or otherwise in connection the Notes, including, without limitation, any amortization, retirement, purchase, redemption or other acquisition of any Note, or any options, warrants or rights to purchase or acquire any Notes or Common Shares of the Company (collectively, the “Restricted Payments”) are strictly junior and fully subordinated to the right of payment held by the holders of the Senior Debt (the “Senior Debt Holders”). If a default (however defined) under any document, instrument, or other agreement in any way related to the Senior Debt, whether such document, instrument, or other agreement exists on the Closing Date or is entered into after the Closing Date, exists at the time a Restricted Payment is to be made or would exist as a result of such Restricted Payment being made, (i) the Company shall not make, and no Purchaser is entitled to receive, any Restricted Payment unless and until the “Payment in Full of the Senior Debt” (as defined below); and (ii) no Purchaser shall be entitled to ask, demand, ▇▇▇ for, take or receive from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property, or by set-off or in any other manner (including without limitation from or by way of collateral) payment of any Restricted Payment unless and until the Payment in Full of the Senior Debt.

(b) The subordination of the rights of the Purchasers to the Senior Debt Holders shall be effective both before and after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding (as defined below). All references in this Section 12.12 to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall include such entity as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such entity in any Insolvency Proceeding.

(c) As between the Purchasers and the Senior Debt Holders and without releasing or affecting any of its senior rights as to the Purchasers, any Senior Debt Holder may, one or more times, in its sole discretion, without notice to or the consent of any Purchaser, take any action with respect to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Senior Debt, including, without limitation, one or more of the following actions: (i) extend credit to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in such amounts as such Senior Debt Holder may determine or withhold credit from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (ii) release, renew or modify the obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other person or entity obligated on any of the Senior Debt; (iii) release, exchange, modify, or surrender in whole or in part such Senior Debt Holder’s rights with respect to any security for any of the Senior Debt; (iv)

modify or alter the term, interest rate or due date of any payment of any of the Senior Debt; (v) grant any postponements, compromises, indulgences, waivers, surrenders or discharges or modify the terms of its agreements with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (vi) change its manner of doing business with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other person or entity; (vii) obtain additional security for the Senior Debt; or (viii) impute payments or proceeds of any security furnished for any of the Senior Debt, in whole or in part, to any of the Senior Debt, or retain the payments or proceeds as security for the Senior Debt without applying same toward payment of the Senior Debt. Each Purchaser waives and releases all claims and defenses arising from any such actions by any holder of Senior Debt, including, without limitation, claims and defenses relating to the inability to collect any Restricted Payment. No Senior Debt Holder will be liable for any action or failure to act under or in connection with any of the documents or instruments evidencing or securing the Senior Debt, it being understood that the decision of whether and when to act and the manner of proceeding under such instruments and documents are within the sole discretion of such Senior Debt Holders, and shall not be affected in any manner by the existence of the Company’s obligations hereunder.

(d) For purposes hereof, “Payment in Full of the Senior Debt” means the satisfaction of all of the following: (i) the passage of 90 days after the indefeasible and final payment in full in cash of the Senior Debt, (ii) the termination of all hedging transactions with any Senior Debt Holder, (iii) the termination or expiration of all commitments of each Senior Debt Holder to advance funds or issue letters of credit, and (iv) the termination or expiration and return of all letters of credit issued by any Senior Debt Holder. For purposes hereof, “Insolvency Proceeding” means any distribution of all or any of the assets of any entity to creditors of such entity upon the dissolution, winding up, liquidation, arrangement, reorganization, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of such entity or its debts, whether in any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization, receivership, relief or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of such entity or otherwise.

(e) In the event there is a conflict between the provisions in this Section 12.12 and the provisions of the Subordination Agreement, the Subordination Agreement shall control.
