whose behalf the Subscriber is contracting) that the Securities
subscribed for by it hereunder form part of a larger issuance and
sale by the Corporation of up to CAD$75 million in Units;
9
(b) no federal or state agency has made any finding or determination as
to the fairness of the offering of the Securities for investment or
any recommendation or endorsement of the Offering and no Canadian
securities commission or similar regulatory authority has reviewed
or passed on the merits of the Securities;
(c) the Subscriber acknowledges being told that the Corporation is
relying on an exemption from the requirements to provide the
Subscriber with a prospectus and to sell the Securities through a
person registered to sell securities under applicable Canadian
securities laws and, as a consequence of acquiring the Securities
pursuant to this exemption, certain protections, rights and remedies
provided by applicable Canadian securities legislation, including
statutory rights of rescission or damages, will not be available to
the Subscriber;
(d) the Securities have not been registered under the 1933 Act or
qualified under any state securities laws in reliance on exemptions
from registration and may not be offered or sold in the United
States unless registered under the 1933 Act and the securities laws
of all applicable states of the United States or an exemption from
such registration requirements is available;
(e) the Common Shares and Warrant Shares will bear incidental
registration rights in accordance with the terms of the Registration
Rights Agreement;
(f) there are U.S. restrictions on the Subscriber's ability to resell
the Securities and it is the responsibility of the Subscriber to
find out what those restrictions are and to comply with them before
selling any of the Securities;
(g) the offer and sale of the Securities, and the issuance of the Common
Shares, the Warrants, and the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the
Warrants, as the case may be, is being made in reliance upon
Regulation S. Regulation S requires that, for a one (1) year
"distribution compliance period" (as defined in Regulation S), no
offer or sale of any of the Securities issued in reliance on
Regulation S may be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or
benefit of a U.S. Person. Specifically, the offer or sale of any of
the Securities issued in reliance on Regulation S, if made prior to
the expiration of the one-year "distribution compliance period,"
must be made pursuant to the following conditions:
(i) The purchaser of the Securities certifies that it is not a
U.S. Person and is not acquiring the Securities for the
account or benefit of any U.S. Person or is a U.S. Person who
purchased the Securities in a transaction that did not require
registration under the 1933 Act;
(ii) The purchaser of the Securities agrees to resell such
securities only in accordance with the provisions of
Regulation S, Rule 144, pursuant to registration under the
1933 Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from
registration; and agrees not to engage in hedging transactions
with regard to such Securities unless in compliance with the
1933 Act;
(iii) The certificate(s) representing the Common Shares, the
Warrants, and the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the
Warrants, as the case may be, contain(s) a legend to the
effect that transfer is prohibited except in accordance with
the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under
the 1933 Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from
registration; and that hedging transactions involving the
Securities may not be conducted unless in compliance with the
1933 Act; such legend is set forth in Section 7 hereof;
10
The Securities may be resold only in compliance with Regulation S or
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act
or an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act.
Rule 904 of Regulation S provides that a resale of an outstanding
security may be made pursuant thereto if the offer and sale of the
security are made in an "offshore transaction" and if no directed
selling efforts are made in the United States with regard to the
securities to be sold by the seller, an affiliate of the seller, or
any person acting on their behalf. An offer or sale of securities is
made in an "offshore transaction" if the offer is not made to a
person in the United States and either (i) at the time the buy order
is originated, the buyer is outside the United States, or the seller
and any person acting on its behalf have good reason to believe that
the buyer is outside the United States and (ii) the transaction is
executed in, on or through the facilities of a designated offshore
securities market and neither the seller nor any person acting on
its behalf knows that the transaction has been prearranged with a
buyer in the United States. Offers and sales of securities
specifically targeted at identifiable groups of United States
citizens abroad shall, in no event, be deemed to be made in an
offshore transaction. Rule 904 of Regulation S imposes additional
limitations on resales by dealers and persons receiving selling
concessions and affiliates of the issuer.
If the Securities are being sold under Rule 904 of Regulation S of
the 1933 Act, and applicable state securities laws, any legend may
be removed by (i) providing a certification to the Corporation to
the effect set out in attached Exhibit "E" (or in such other form as
the Corporation may prescribe from time to time); (ii) causing a
broker, dealer or any other person receiving a selling concession,
fee or other remuneration in connection with such resale to provide
a certification to the Corporation to the effect set out in attached
Exhibit "F" (or in such other form as the Corporation may prescribe
from time to time); (iii) obtaining the Corporation's signed
acknowledgement that, at the time of the resale, there is no
"substantial U.S. market interest" (as defined under Regulation S of
the 0000 Xxx) and (iv) obtaining a legal opinion of the
Corporation's counsel that such legend is no longer required under
applicable requirements of the 1933 Act or state securities laws.
The Corporation may instruct its transfer agent 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 1933 Act or state securities laws.
Under Rule 905 of Regulation S, because the Corporation is a U.S.
corporation, the Securities will be deemed to be "restricted
securities" (as defined in Rule 144 of the 0000 Xxx) and as such may
be resold or otherwise transferred only in accordance with
Regulation S or pursuant to a registration under the 1933 Act or an
exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act; the
Securities will continue to be deemed to be restricted securities,
notwithstanding that they are acquired by another purchaser in a
resale transaction made pursuant to Rule 901 or Rule 904 of
Regulation S. Subject to listing approval of the Exchange, the
trading symbol for the Common Shares and the Warrant Shares shall
bear a designation separate from the currently listed "PFE" and
"PFE.S" designations and the CUSIP number for the Common Shares and
the Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of the Warrants will be
a different CUSIP number than the CUSIP number for outstanding
common shares that currently trade under the "PFE" and "PFE.S"
designations, to indicate that they are restricted securities.
Restricted securities may have significantly less liquidity than
unrestricted securities that do not bear such separate designation
and are not fungible securities with "PFE" and "PFE.S" listed shares
and, if listed, may be limited to trading in a market restricted to
the Common Shares or Warrant Shares issued under the Offering. There
is no assurance that the Common Shares or Warrant Shares will be
listed.
11
Rule 144 under the 1933 Act permits limited public resales of
securities acquired in non-public offerings, subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions. Under Rule 144 the conditions
include, among other things: the availability of certain current
public information about the issuer, the resale occurring not fewer
than one (1) year or two (2) years, as applicable, after the party
has purchased and paid for the securities to be sold, the sale being
through a broker in an unsolicited "broker's transaction" and the
amount of securities being sold during any three-month period not
exceeding specified volume limitations. The Corporation may not be
satisfying the current public information requirement of Rule 144 at
the time the Subscriber wishes to sell any of the Securities, or
other conditions under Rule 144 which are required of the
Corporation.
(h) the Subscriber acknowledges being told that the Securities may not
be sold or otherwise disposed of in Canada for a period of four
months from the date of distribution of the Securities and may be
subject to additional resale restrictions if such sale or other
disposition would be a "control distribution", as that term is
defined in Multilateral Instrument 45-102 RESALE OF SECURITIES;
(i) the Subscriber acknowledges and agrees with the Corporation that the
Corporation shall refuse to register any transfer of the Securities
not made pursuant to registration under the 1933 Act, or pursuant to
an available exemption from registration under the 1933 Act
(including Regulation S) or, if applicable, pursuant to an available
prospectus exemption under Canadian securities laws;
(j) the Subscriber acknowledges that there are risks associated with the
purchase of the Securities and that the Subscriber is aware that
there is no government or other insurance covering the Securities;
(k) the Corporation may be required to provide applicable securities
regulatory authorities with a list setting forth the identities of
the beneficial purchasers of the Securities and the Subscriber
acknowledges and agrees that it will provide, on request,
particulars as to the identity of such beneficial purchasers as may
be required by the Corporation in order to comply with the
foregoing;
(l) if required by applicable securities laws or the Corporation, the
Subscriber will execute, deliver and file, or assist the Corporation
in filing, such reports, undertakings and other documents with
respect to the issue and/or sale of the Securities as may be
required by any securities commission, stock exchange or other
regulatory authority;
(m) by providing personal information to the Corporation, the Subscriber
and each person for whom it is contracting hereunder, is consenting
to the Corporation's collection, use and disclosure of that
information for the purposes of the subscription of the Securities
and the offering in general, for corporate governance purposes and
to contact the Subscriber as an investor. The Subscriber, and each
person for whom it is contracting hereunder, acknowledges that, from
time to time, the Corporation may be required to disclose such
personal information and, by providing such personal information to
the Corporation, the Subscriber and each person for whom it is
contracting hereunder, hereby expressly consents to such disclosure,
and the Subscriber and each person for whom it is contracting agrees
and acknowledges that the Corporation may use and disclose personal
information as follows:
12
(i) for internal use with respect to managing the relationships
between and contractual obligations of the Corporation and the
Subscriber and each person for whom it is contracting;
(ii) for use and disclosure for income tax related purposes,
including without limitation, where required by law,
disclosure to the Internal Revenue Service;
(iii) disclosure to securities regulatory authorities and other
regulatory bodies with jurisdiction with respect to reports of
trades and similar regulatory filings;
(iv) disclosure to a governmental or other authority to which the
disclosure is required by court order or subpoena compelling
such disclosure and where there is no reasonable alternative
to such disclosure;
(v) disclosure to professional advisers of the Corporation in
connection with the performance of their professional
services;
(vi) disclosure to any person where such disclosure is necessary
for legitimate business reasons and is made with the prior
written consent of the Subscriber and each person for whom it
is contracting;
(vii) disclosure to a court determining the rights of the parties
under this Agreement; or
(viii) for use and disclosure as otherwise required or permitted by
law;
(n) if the Subscriber is resident in or otherwise subject to the
securities laws applicable in the Province of Ontario, the
information provided by the Subscriber on the face page of this
Subscription Agreement identifying the name, address and telephone
number of the Subscriber, the number of Units being purchased
hereunder and the total purchase price as well as the date of
Closing and the exemption that the Corporation is relying on in
selling the Units to the Subscriber will be disclosed to the Ontario
Securities Commission, and such information is being indirectly
collected by the Ontario Securities Commission under the authority
granted to it under securities legislation. This information is
being collected for the purposes of the administration and
enforcement of the securities legislation of the Province of
Ontario. Each Subscriber hereby authorizes the indirect collection
of such information by the Ontario Securities Commission. In the
event the Subscriber has any questions with respect to the indirect
collection of such information by the Ontario Securities Commission,
the Subscriber should contact the Ontario Securities Commission,
Administrative Assistant to the Director of Corporate Finance at
(000) 000-0000 or in person or writing at Xxxxx 0000, Xxx 00, 00

(o) the Subscriber acknowledges that the initial US$50 million of the
proceeds of the Offering will be used to repay a portion of the debt
associated with the acquisition of the offshore producing Alaskan
assets of Forest Oil Corporation, with any balance of funds to be
used for general working capital and business purposes; and
13
(p) the Agents and/or their directors, officers, employees, agents and
representatives assume no responsibility or liability of any nature
whatsoever for the accuracy or adequacy of any publicly available
information concerning the Corporation or as to whether all
information concerning the Corporation that is required to be
disclosed or filed by the Corporation under applicable securities
laws has been so disclosed or filed.
