Accordingly, OQI may be considered to be a “connected issuer” of TD Securities Inc. for the purposes of National Instrument 33-105 Underwriting Conflicts. OQI Sask is the borrower under the Credit Facility and executed an Account Control Agreement that grants a security interest to TD Bank in funds held in OQI Sask’s TD Bank account. OQI provided a secured guarantee for the obligations of OQI Sask under the Credit Facility by way of: (i) an unconditional guarantee and (ii) an assignment to TD Bank of OQI’s entitlement to receive proceeds from common shares sold on a flow-through basis pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) pursuant to the offering of flow-through shares of the Corporation after the date of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is a non-revolving facility for up to Cdn. $30 million by way of Prime Rate Loans at the prime rate and Bankers’ Acceptances at the applicable discount rate plus 50 basis points. Any drawn amount will be repayable at maturity on October 31, 2007. On March 21, 2007, OQI Sask borrowed Cdn. $25 million under the Credit Facility to fund the purchase of land in the Athabasca region of North Eastern Alberta. OQI and OQI Sask are in compliance with all material terms of the agreement governing the Credit Facility and TD Bank has not waived any breach by OQI or OQI Sask of that agreement since its execution. Neither the financial position of OQI or OQI Sask nor the value of the security under the Credit Facility has changed substantially since the indebtedness under the Credit Facility was incurred. TD Securities Inc. was involved in the decision to distribute the Common Shares and in the determination of the commercial terms of the Offering. TD Bank did not have any involvement in such decision or determination, but has been advised of the issuance and the terms thereof. TD Securities Inc. will be entitled to receive its proportionate and respective share of the commission described in Section 12 of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement (as defined below). No other proceeds of the Offering will be applied for the benefit of TD Securities Inc. OQI intends to utilize a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering to repay in full the indebtedness under the Credit Facility.
