that requires the delivery of an offering memorandum acknowledge the receipt of
the Company's offering memorandum dated November 23, 2004 (the "Offering
Memorandum"). Such Subscribers may cancel their subscription to purchase the
Restricted Shares offered and have their subscription funds returned without
interest or deduction by sending a written notice to the Company by midnight of

Company that (i) the Subscriber is not a "U.S. person" as that term is defined
in Rule 902(c) of Regulation S; (ii) at the time of signing this agreement, the
Subscriber was outside the United States and no offer of the Restricted Shares
was made to the Subscriber within the United States; (iii) the Subscriber
purchased the Restricted Shares for its own account and not on behalf of any
U.S. person, and the sale of the Restricted Shares has not been prearranged with
any buyer in the United States; and (iv) the Subscriber is not a distributor as
defined in Regulation S. The Subscriber will not, before the expiration of one
year from the Closing (the "Restricted Period"), offer or sell the Restricted
Shares to U.S. persons or for the account or benefit of U.S. persons and will
offer and sell the Restricted Shares only in compliance with the provisions of
Regulation S.
3.2 Independent Investigation. The Subscriber, in electing to subscribe

opportunity to examine all books and records of the Company, and all material
contracts and documents of the Company.
3.3 Residency. The Subscriber is resident in the jurisdiction set out on

Shares involves a high degree of risk and that the Subscriber must bear the
economic risk of this investment indefinitely unless sale of the Restricted
Shares is registered pursuant to the Act, or an Exemption from registration for
their sale is available. The Subscriber understands that, in the view of the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory basis for the
Exemption claimed for this transaction would not be present if the offering of
the Restricted Shares, although in technical compliance with Regulation S, is
part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the Act. The
Subscriber is acquiring the Restricted Shares for investment purposes and has no
present intention to sell the Restricted Shares in the United States or to a
U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person. The Subscriber
covenants that neither the Subscriber nor its affiliates nor any person acting
on its or their behalf has the intention of entering or will enter during the
Restricted Period, into any put option, short position or other similar
instrument or position or any other hedging transactions or arrangements with
respect to the Company's common stock, and neither the Subscriber nor any of its
affiliates nor any person acting on its or their behalf will use at any time
Restricted Shares acquired pursuant to this agreement to settle any put option,
short position or other similar instrument or position or any other hedging
transaction or arrangement that may have been entered into before the execution
of this agreement or during the Restricted Period.
I2
3.5 No Sale in Violation of the Securities Laws. The Subscriber covenants
that it will not knowingly sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Restricted

relevant securities laws. The Subscriber will only offer and sell the Restricted
Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or an
exemption from the registration provisions of the Act or any other relevant
securities laws. The Subscriber will comply with the applicable provisions of
any relevant securities laws concerning the purchase and holding of the
Restricted Shares and any resale of the Restricted Shares.
3.6 Experience and Knowledge. The Subscriber is either experienced in or
knowledgeable with regard to the affairs of the Company or, either alone or with
its professional advisors, is capable by reason of knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters in general, and investments in particular, of
evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Restricted Shares, and
it is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Restricted Shares
and can otherwise be reasonably assumed to have the capacity to protect its own
interest in connection with the investment. The Subscriber has the experience in
business and financial matters that make it capable of evaluating the risk of
its investment and determining the suitability of its investment in the
Restricted Shares.
3.7 British Columbia Subscriber. If the Subscriber is a resident of
British Columbia and it is purchasing the Restricted Shares as principal for its
own account, the Subscriber has completed, signed, and returned the certificate
set out as Schedule "A" to this subscription agreement.

subscription on behalf of the Subscriber. This agreement, when signed and
delivered by the Subscriber, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation
of the Subscriber, enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance with its

or its own tax advisors the foreign, U.S. federal, state and local tax
consequences of this investment, where applicable, and the transactions
contemplated by this agreement. The Subscriber is relying solely on its advisors
and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents
with respect to the tax consequences and understands that the Subscriber (and
not the Company) is responsible for the Subscriber's tax liability that may
arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this
agreement.
