use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause it to be declared effective by
the SEC, there is no assurance that the Corporation will be able to cause the
Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC, and if the
Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC, the Common Shares
may not be resold by the Subscriber, except pursuant to an exemption contained
under the applicable securities laws, which may not be available, and if the
Registration Statement is not declared effective, the Common Shares remain
"restricted" securities under the U.S. Securities Act and may only be sold
pursuant to an effective registration statement with respect to such securities,
pursuant to Regulation S or another exemption from the registration requirements
of the U.S. Securities Act.
(g) The Subscriber understands that if it

Regulation S and in compliance with applicable local laws and regulations; (C)
in accordance with an exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act
provided by Rule 144, if available, and in compliance with applicable local laws
and regulations if an opinion of counsel, of recognized standing reasonably
satisfactory to the Corporation, has been provided to the Corporation to that
effect; or (D) in a transaction that does not otherwise require registration
under the U.S. Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws if an
opinion of counsel, of recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to the
Corporation, has been provided to the Corporation to that
effect.
(h) The certificates representing the
Subscribed Shares will bear, as of the Closing Date, the following legends as
required by National Instrument 45-102 – Resale of
Securities and with the
necessary information inserted and the Subscriber agrees to comply with the
terms of such legends:
"UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES

<INSERT DATE THAT IS FOUR (4) MONTHS AND ONE (1) DAY AFTER CLOSING
DATE>"
In addition, the certificates
representing the Subscribed Shares will also bear a legend substantially in the
following form as required by the TSX, and the Subscriber agrees to comply with
the terms of such legend:
"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 THE TSX SINCE THEY ARE NOT
FREELY TRANSFERABLE, AND CONSEQUENTLY ANY CERTIFICATE REPRESENTING SUCH
SECURITIES IS NOT 'GOOD DELIVERY' IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON THE
TSX."
11
In addition, the certificates
representing the Subscribed Shares will also bear a legend substantially in the
following form as required by the Rights Plan:
"UNTIL THE SEPARATION TIME (AS DEFINED

ENTITLES THE HOLDER HEREOF TO CERTAIN RIGHTS AS SET FORTH IN A SHAREHOLDER
RIGHTS PLAN AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF THE 17TH DAY OF JANUARY, 2007 (THE "RIGHTS AGREEMENT"), BETWEEN THE CORPORATION AND CIBC
MELLON TRUST COMPANY, AS RIGHTS AGENT, THE TERMS OF WHICH ARE HEREBY

NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF THE
CORPORATION. UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, AS SET FORTH IN THE RIGHTS

CERTAIN CASES, THEY ARE "BENEFICIALLY OWNED" BY AN "ACQUIRING PERSON", AS SUCH TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE
RIGHTS AGREEMENT, WHETHER CURRENTLY HELD BY OR ON BEHALF OF SUCH PERSON OR ANY
SUBSEQUENT HOLDER) OR MAY BE EVIDENCED BY SEPARATE CERTIFICATES AND MAY NO
LONGER BE EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE. THE CORPORATION WILL MAIL OR
ARRANGE FOR THE MAILING OF A COPY OF THE RIGHTS AGREEMENT TO THE HOLDER OF THIS
CERTIFICATE WITHOUT CHARGE AS SOON AS IS PRACTICABLE AFTER THE RECEIPT OF A
WRITTEN REQUEST THEREFORE".
(i) The Subscriber understands that all
certificates representing the Subscribed Shares issued as part of the Offering,
as well as all certificates issued in exchange for or in substitution of the
foregoing securities, until such time as is no longer required under applicable
requirements of the U.S. Securities Act or applicable state securities laws will
bear a legend to the following effect:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED (THE "U.S. SECURITIES ACT") OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO THE CORPORATION, (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN
COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND IN
COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE CANADIAN LAWS AND REGULATIONS, (C) (1) IN COMPLIANCE
WITH THE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES
ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER, IF AVAILABLE, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (2) IN ANOTHER TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT
REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE LAWS,
AND, IN THE CASE OF C(1) OR C(2) ABOVE, THE HOLDER HAS FURNISHED TO THE COMPANY
AN OPINION TO SUCH EFFECT FROM LEGAL COUNSEL OF RECOGNIZED STANDING IN FORM AND
SUBSTANCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY PRIOR TO SUCH
TRANSFER.
DELIVERY OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT
CONSTITUTE "GOOD DELIVERY" IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON STOCK EXCHANGES IN
CANADA."
provided, that, if any of the Subscribed
Shares are being sold by the Subscriber pursuant to Rule 144 of the U.S.
Securities Act, the legend may be removed by delivery of an opinion of counsel
of recognized standing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Corporation and the transfer agent of the Corporation, to the effect that the
legend is no longer required under applicable requirements of the U.S.
Securities Act or state securities laws. The Subscriber understands and
acknowledges that the Corporation may instruct the registrar and transfer agent
of the Corporation not to record a transfer without first being notified by the
Corporation that it is satisfied that such transfer is exempt from or not
subject to registration under the U.S. Securities Act.
12
(j) The Subscriber consents to the
Corporation making a notation on its records or giving instructions to the
transfer agent of the Corporation in order to implement the restrictions on
transfers set forth and described herein. The Subscriber understands and

of the Corporation not to record a transfer without first being notified by the
Corporation that it is satisfied that such transfer is exempt from or not
subject to registration under the U.S. Securities Act.
(k) The Underwriter and/or its counsel,
directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives assume no
responsibility or liability of any nature whatsoever for the accuracy or

Laws has been so disclosed or filed.
(l) The Subscriber and each beneficial
purchaser for whom it is acting shall execute and file, together with the
prescribed fees, all documentation required by the applicable Securities Laws or

subsequent disposition thereof and agrees that it will furnish to the
Corporation such certificates, legal opinions and other documentation as may be

(m) If required by applicable Securities
Laws or by the Corporation, the Subscriber and each beneficial purchaser for
whom it is acting will execute, deliver and file or assist the Corporation in

of the Subscribed Shares as may be required by any securities commission, stock
exchange or other regulatory authority.
(n) The Subscriber, and each beneficial
purchaser for whom it is acting, have been advised to consult their own legal
advisors with respect to trading in the Subscribed Shares and with respect to
the resale restrictions imposed by the Securities Laws of the United States or
any state in which the Subscriber resides and other applicable securities laws,
and acknowledges that no representation has been made respecting the applicable
hold periods imposed by the Securities Laws or other resale restrictions
applicable to such securities which restrict the ability of the Subscriber (or
others for whom it is acting) to resell such securities that the Subscriber (or
others for whom it is acting) is solely responsible to find out what these
restrictions are and the Subscriber is solely responsible (and neither the
Corporation nor the Underwriter is in any way responsible) for compliance with
applicable resale restrictions and the Subscriber is aware that it (or the
beneficial purchaser for whom it is acting) may not be able to resell such
securities except in accordance with limited exemptions under the Securities
Laws and other applicable securities laws.
(o) The Subscriber has not received or been
provided with a prospectus, offering memorandum (within the meaning of the
Securities Laws) or any sales or advertising literature in connection with the
Offering and the Subscriber's decision to subscribe for Common Shares was not
based upon, and the Subscriber has not relied upon, any verbal or written
representations as to facts made by or on behalf of the Corporation or the
Underwriter. The Subscriber's decision to subscribe for Common Shares was based
solely upon the Term Sheet attached hereto as Schedule "B" and information about
the Corporation which is publicly available (any such information having been
obtained by the Subscriber without independent investigation or verification by
the Underwriter).
(p) The Corporation and the Underwriter, and
their respective counsel, are relying on the representations, warranties and
covenants contained herein and in the applicable Schedules attached hereto to
determine the Subscriber's eligibility to subscribe for Common Shares under
applicable Securities Laws and the Subscriber agrees to indemnify the
Corporation, the Underwriter and each of their respective directors and officers
against all losses (other than loss of profits), claims, costs, expenses,
damages or liabilities which any of them may suffer or incur as a result of or
arising from reliance thereon. The Subscriber undertakes to
immediately notify the Underwriter of any change in any statement or other
information relating to the Subscriber set forth in such applicable Schedules
that takes place prior to the Closing Time.
(q) The Corporation and the Underwriter are
relying on an exemption from the requirement to provide the Subscriber with a
prospectus under the Securities Laws and, as a consequence of acquiring Common
Shares pursuant to such exemption, certain protections, rights and remedies
provided by the Securities Laws, including statutory rights of rescission and/or
damages, will not be available to the Subscriber.
13
(r) The Common Shares are being offered and
sold in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Regulation D of
the U.S. Securities Act. Following the Closing, the Corporation has
agreed to register the resale of the Common Shares under the U.S. Securities Act
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.
(s) The Subscriber, and each beneficial
purchaser for whom it is acting, is responsible for obtaining such independent
legal and tax advice as it considers appropriate in connection with the

transactions contemplated under this Subscription Agreement, including without
limitation for the proposes of giving representations, warranties and covenants
under this Subscription Agreement.
(t) There is no government or other

(v) The Subscriber acknowledges that all
costs and expenses incurred by the Subscriber (including any fees and
disbursements of any special counsel or other advisors retained by the
Subscriber) relating to the purchase of the Subscribed Shares shall be borne by
the Subscriber.
(w) The Subscriber and each beneficial
purchaser for whom it is acting acknowledge that the Common Shares are
speculative in nature and that there are risks associated with the purchase of
Common Shares and the Subscriber and each beneficial purchaser for whom it is
acting has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and
financial matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its
investment in the Subscribed Shares, fully understands the speculative nature of
the Subscribed Shares and is able to bear the economic risk of loss of its
entire investment.
(x) The Subscriber has evaluated the risks
involved in investing in the Common Shares and has determined that the Common
Shares are a suitable investment for the Subscriber. Specifically,
the aggregate amount of the investments the Subscriber has in, and the

reasonable in relation to the Subscriber's net worth, both before and after the
subscription for and purchase of the Common Shares pursuant to this
Agreement.
(y) The Subscriber represents and warrants
further that the Subscriber has no contract, understanding, agreement or
arrangement with any Person to sell or transfer or pledge to such Person or

(in whole or in part); and the Subscriber represents and warrants that the
Subscriber has no plans to enter into any such contract, undertaking, agreement
or arrangement.
