POST-CLOSING COVENANTS

7.1     Board Representation Rights

(a) Subject to Section 7.1(b) hereof, for so long as the Investor Beneficially Owns 10% or more of the then outstanding Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis), the Investor shall have the right, upon notice to the Corporation, to designate one (1) representative (the “Representative”) which the Corporation shall nominate for election to the Board (or otherwise include in a management slate of directors proposed by the Corporation for election by its shareholders) at any meeting of shareholders of the Corporation following the date upon which such notice is given, and at each meeting thereafter at which directors are to be elected. Where, between meetings of the Corporation’s shareholders, the Investor has no Representative on the Board but Beneficially Owns Common Shares representing 10% or more of the then outstanding Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis), and provides notice to the Corporation of its Representative, the Corporation shall take such steps that are necessary for the Board to appoint the Representative as a member of the Board by having the directors fill any vacancy on the Board by the appointment of the Representative or, to the extent that there are no vacancies on the Board, to allow the Representative to attend and observe all meetings of the Board, and partake in discussions at all meetings of the Board. The Representative shall not have the right to vote at meetings of the Board until such time as the Representative is elected to the Board at a meeting of shareholders of the Corporation or otherwise appointed as a director in accordance with this Section 7.1(a). The Investor shall give prior notice to the Corporation of any contemplated transaction that would result in the Investor being the Beneficial Owners of less than 10% of the then outstanding Common Shares.

(c) Immediately following the latter of the Second Closing Date and the date the Meeting is held, subject to approval of the TSXV and the shareholders of the Corporation at the Meeting, the Board shall include the Investor’s initial Representative.

The Corporation further covenants that it will, as soon as reasonably practicable following the appointment of the Representative to the Board, add the Representative as a named insured person under the Corporation’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy.

33

(e) In the event the Investor is no longer entitled to a Representative to serve as a director of the Corporation as a result of: (i) the Investor no longer holding the requisite number of issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation entitling it to appoint a Representative in accordance with Sections 7.1(a); or (ii) such Representative failing to comply with the requirements set forth in Section 7.1(b)(iii); then in each case the Investor shall cause such Representative to forthwith resign from the Board, provided that, in the case of Section 7.1(e)(ii), the Investor shall be entitled to propose a new Representative in accordance with Section 7.1(a).

(f) For greater certainty, this Section 7.1 shall continue in full force and effect for such period of time as the Investor is entitled to have a Representative on the Board pursuant to Section 7.1(a).

ARTICLE 8

INDEMNIFICATION

The rights to indemnification of the Investor under this Section 8 shall apply notwithstanding any inspection or inquiries made by or on behalf of the Investor, or any knowledge acquired or capable of being acquired by the Investor or facts actually known to the Investor (whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and whether before or after the Initial Closing Date).

(b) Subject to Section 8.1(a), the Investor will indemnify and save the Corporation, and the Corporation’s Affiliates, directors, officers and employees, harmless against and from all liabilities, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, demands, losses, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses), damages and expenses to which the Corporation, or any of the Corporation’s Affiliates, directors, officers or employees may be subject or which the Corporation, or any of the Corporation’s Affiliates, directors, officers or employees may suffer or incur, whether under the provisions of any statute or otherwise, in any way caused by, or arising directly or indirectly from or in consequence of any inaccuracy or breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Investor contained in this Agreement. The rights to indemnification of the Corporation under this Section 8 shall apply notwithstanding any inspection or inquiries made by or on behalf of the Corporation, or any knowledge acquired or capable of being acquired by the Corporation or facts actually known to the Corporation (whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and whether before or after the Initial Closing Date).

34

(c) If any claim contemplated by Section 8.1(a) shall be asserted against any of the persons or corporations in respect of which indemnification is or might reasonably be considered to be provided for in such paragraph, such person or corporation (the “Indemnified Person”) shall notify the Corporation (the “Indemnifying Party”) (provided that failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party of the nature of such claim in a timely fashion shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of liability hereunder only if and to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such claim) as soon as possible of the nature of such claim and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled (but not required) to assume the defence of any suit brought to enforce such claim, provided however, that the defence shall be through legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and acceptable to the Indemnified Person acting reasonably and that no settlement may be made by the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Person without the prior written consent of the other, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain separate counsel in any proceeding relating to a claim contemplated by Section 8.1(a) but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Person, unless:

(i) the Indemnified Person has been advised by counsel that there may be a reasonable legal defense available to the Indemnified Person which is different from or additional to a defense available to an Indemnifying Party and that representation of the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to the actual or potential differing interests between them;

(ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have taken the defense of such proceedings and employed counsel within ten (10) days after notice has been given to the Indemnifying Party of commencement of such proceedings and, having employed such counsel, has diligently pursued such defense; or

(iii) the employment of such counsel has been authorized by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such proceedings;

and, in any such event, the reasonable fees and expenses of such Indemnified Person’s counsel (on a solicitor and his client basis) shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such Indemnified Persons.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of any suit brought to enforce a claim hereunder, the Indemnified Person shall provide the Indemnifying Party with copies of all documents and information in its possession pertaining to the claim, take all reasonable actions necessary to preserve its rights to object to or defend against the claim, consult and reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in determining whether the claim and any legal proceeding resulting therefrom should be resisted, compromised or settled and reasonably cooperate and assist in any negotiations to compromise or settle, or in any defense of, any claim undertaken by the Indemnifying Party.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Article 8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Person with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person herein, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and of the Indemnified Person, on the other, in connection with the matter that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(f) The Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay any amount to indemnify the Indemnified Person (or any of them) in respect of claims advanced under Article 8 unless and until the aggregate amount that the Indemnified Persons are entitled to receive on account of indemnification in respect of claims advanced under Article 8 exceeds $50,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Persons for the full amount, including for greater certainty the Threshold Amount.

35

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the aggregate liability of the Corporation to the Investor under this Article 8 shall be limited to the amount actually invested by the Investor (as the case may be) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to acquire Purchased Shares.

8.2     Exclusive Remedy

The Parties agree that the remedies of an Indemnified Person under this Article 8 shall be the exclusive monetary remedies of an Indemnified Person in respect of any claims for which an Indemnified Person is entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1 and shall be in lieu of any other monetary remedy that may be available to an Indemnified Person in respect of any such claim, including pursuant to applicable statutory or common law.

8.3     Limits on Consequential Damages

Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Article 8, no Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification from or to be compensated by the Indemnifying Party in respect of any consequential damages, including loss of revenue or profits, cost of capital, loss of business opportunity, loss of reputation or failure to realize a return on investment, nor shall any Indemnified Person seek or be entitled to receive punitive damages as to any matter under, relating to, or arising out of this Agreement.

SCHEDULE “I”

to Article 6 of the Articles of Incorporation of

DIABEX INC.

There shall be six classes of shares, the Voting Common Shares, the Non-voting Common Shares, the Class A Shares, the Class B Shares, the Class C Shares and the Class D Shares, which shall have attached thereto the following rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions:

1.          “Redemption Amount per Class A Share” shall be the quotient obtained when the fair market value of the net consideration received by the Corporation from the first holder of Class A Shares at the time of the first issuance of Class A Shares for their issuance by the Corporation is divided by the number of Class A Shares issued at such time. The fair market value of the net consideration received by the Corporation upon the first issue of Class A Shares shall be determined by the Directors of the Corporation at the time of the first issuance of Class A Shares, provided that if Canada Customs and Revenue Agency should make any assessment on either the Corporation or a holder of Class A Shares which assessment is based upon the fair market value of the net consideration received by the Corporation upon the first issue of Class A Shares being an amount greater or lesser than the amount determined by the Directors of the Corporation and such assessment or notification of intention to assess is either accepted by the Corporation and the holder of Class A Shares or is appealed to any authority or court of competent jurisdiction and such appeal is settled by agreement between the Corporation, the Shareholder and Canada Customs and Revenue Agency, or, if upon final disposition of the appeal the assessment is upheld in whole or in part by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the Redemption Amount per Class A Share shall be adjusted to reflect the fair market value of the net consideration as finally determined, and such Redemption Amount so adjusted shall be deemed to be and to have always been the Redemption Amount per Class A Share from the time of the first issuance of Class A Shares. If as a result of the adjustment the Redemption Amount has been increased, the Corporation shall pay to any former holders of Class A Shares which had previously been redeemed the amount of the increase, and if as a result of the adjustment the Redemption Amount has been decreased, any former holders of Class A Shares which had previously been redeemed shall reimburse the Corporation the amount of such decrease. If any dividends previously have been paid by the Corporation on the Class A Shares in any financial year at a rate in excess of eight (8%) per cent of the Redemption Amount per Class A Share so adjusted, then the holders of such Class A Shares shall reimburse the Corporation the amount of such excess.

2.     “Redemption Amount per Class B Share” shall be the quotient obtained when the fair market value of the net consideration received by the Corporation from the first holder of Class B Shares at the time of the first issuance of Class B Shares for their issuance by the Corporation is divided by the number of Class B Shares issued at such time. The fair market value of the net consideration received by the Corporation upon the first issue of Class B Shares shall be determined by the Directors of the Corporation at the time of the first issuance of Class B Shares, provided that if Canada Customs and Revenue Agency should make any assessment on either the Corporation or a holder of Class B Shares which assessment is based upon the fair market value of the net consideration received by the Corporation upon the first issue of Class B Shares being an amount greater or lesser than the amount determined by the Directors of the Corporation and such assessment or notification of intention to assess is either accepted by the Corporation and the holder of Class B Shares or is appealed to any authority or court of competent jurisdiction and such appeal is settled by agreement between the Corporation, the Shareholder and Canada Customs and Revenue Agency, or, if upon final disposition of the appeal the assessment is upheld in whole or in part by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the Redemption Amount per Class B Share shall be adjusted to reflect the fair market value of the net consideration as finally determined, and such Redemption Amount so adjusted shall be deemed to be and to have always been the Redemption Amount per Class B Share from the time of the first issuance of Class B Shares. If as a result of the adjustment the Redemption Amount has been increased, the Corporation shall pay to any former holders of Class B Shares which had previously been redeemed the amount of the increase, and if as a result of the adjustment the Redemption Amount has been decreased, any former holders of Class B Shares which had previously been redeemed shall reimburse the Corporation the amount of such decrease. If any dividends previously have been paid by the Corporation on the Class B Shares in any financial year at a rate in excess of seven (7%) per cent of the Redemption Amount per Class B Share so adjusted, then the holders of such Class B Shares shall reimburse the Corporation the amount of such excess.

44

3.     “Redemption Amount per Class C Share” shall be the quotient obtained when the fair market value of the net consideration received by the Corporation from the first holder of Class C Shares at the time of the first issuance of Class C Shares for their issuance by the Corporation is divided by the number of Class C Shares issued at such time. The fair market value of the net consideration received by the Corporation upon the first issue of Class C Shares shall be determined by the Directors of the Corporation at the time of the first issuance of Class C Shares, provided that if Canada Customs and Revenue Agency should make any assessment on either the Corporation or a holder of Class C Shares which assessment is based upon the fair market value of the net consideration received by the Corporation upon the first issue of Class C Shares being an amount greater or lesser than the amount determined by the Directors of the Corporation and such assessment or notification of intention to assess is either accepted by the Corporation and the holder of Class C Shares or is appealed to any authority or court of competent jurisdiction and such appeal is settled by agreement between the Corporation, the Shareholder and Canada Customs and Revenue Agency, or, if upon final disposition of the appeal the assessment is upheld in whole or in part by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the Redemption Amount per Class C Share shall be adjusted to reflect the fair market value of the net consideration as finally determined, and such Redemption Amount so adjusted shall be deemed to be and to have always been the Redemption Amount per Class C Share from the time of the first issuance of Class C Shares. If as a result of the adjustment the Redemption Amount has been increased, the Corporation shall pay to any former holders of Class C Shares which had previously been redeemed the amount of the increase, and if as a result of the adjustment the Redemption Amount has been decreased, any former holders of Class C Shares which had previously been redeemed shall reimburse the Corporation the amount of such decrease. If any dividends previously have been paid by the Corporation on the Class C Shares in any financial year at a rate in excess of six (6%) per cent of the Redemption Amount per Class C Share so adjusted, then the holders of such Class C Shares shall reimburse the Corporation the amount of such excess.

4.     “Redemption Amount per Class D Share” shall be the amount of $1.00.

5.     Subject to the provisions of paragraph 10, the holders of the Class A Shares shall in each financial year of the Corporation be entitled to receive, if declared by the Directors of the Corporation on the Class A Shares out of the monies or other property of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, non-cumulative dividends in an amount to be determined by and in the discretion of the Directors of the Corporation, provided such amount shall not in any one financial year be greater than eight (8%) per cent of the Redemption Amount per Class A Share. If in any year the Directors in their discretion do not declare any dividends on the Class A Shares, then the rights of the holders of the Class A Shares to any dividend for the year shall forever be extinguished.

45

6.     Subject to the provisions of paragraph 10, the holders of the Class B Shares shall in each financial year of the Corporation be entitled to receive, if declared by the Directors of the Corporation on the Class B Shares out of the monies or other property of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, non-cumulative dividends in an amount to be determined by and in the discretion of the Directors of the Corporation, provided such amount shall not in any one financial year be greater than seven (7%) per cent of the Redemption Amount per Class B Share. If in any year the Directors in their discretion do not declare any dividends on the Class B Shares, then the rights of the holders of the Class B Shares to any dividend for the year shall forever be extinguished.

7.     Subject to the provisions of paragraph 10, the holders of the Class C Shares shall in each financial year of the Corporation be entitled to receive, if declared by the Directors of the Corporation on the Class C Shares out of the monies or other property of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, non-cumulative dividends in an amount to be determined by and in the discretion of the Directors of the Corporation, provided such amount shall not in any one financial year be greater than six (6%) per cent of the Redemption Amount per Class C Share. If in any year the Directors in their discretion do not declare any dividends on the Class C Shares, then the rights of the holders of the Class C Shares to any dividend for the year shall forever be extinguished.

8.     Subject to the provisions of paragraph 10, the holders of the Class D Shares shall in each financial year of the Corporation be entitled to receive, if declared by the Directors of the Corporation on the Class D Shares out of the monies or other property of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, non-cumulative dividends in an amount to be determined by and in the discretion of the Directors of the Corporation, provided such amount shall not in any one financial year be greater than five (5%) per cent of the Redemption Amount per Class D Share. If in any year the Directors in their discretion do not declare any dividends on the Class D Shares, then the rights of the holders of the Class D Shares to any dividend for the year shall forever be extinguished.

9.     Subject to the provisions of paragraph 10, the holders of the Voting Common Shares and the holders of the Non-voting Common Shares shall in each financial year of the Corporation be entitled to receive, if declared by the Directors of the Corporation out of the monies or other property of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, non-cumulative dividends in an amount to be determined by and in the discretion of the Directors of the Corporation. If in any year the Directors of the Corporation in their discretion decide to declare a dividend, the same amount of dividend must be declared on each such share, whether a Voting Common Share or a Non-voting Common Share, without preference or distinction. If in any year the Directors in their discretion do not declare any dividend, then the rights of the holders of the Voting Common Shares and of the holders of the Non-voting Common Shares to any dividend for the year shall forever be extinguished.

46

10.     No dividends shall be paid on any class of shares of the Corporation which will result in the Corporation having net assets (that is, the amount by which the realizable value of its assets exceeds its liabilities) insufficient to redeem all issued and outstanding Class A Shares at the Redemption Amount per Class A Share, all issued and outstanding Class B Shares at the Redemption Amount per Class B Share, all issued and outstanding Class C Shares at the Redemption Amount per Class C Share, and all issued and outstanding Class D Shares at the Redemption Amount per Class D Share, together with all dividends, if any, declared thereon and unpaid.

11.     It shall be in the sole discretion of the Directors of the Corporation whether in any financial year of the Corporation any dividend is declared on any class or classes of shares of the Corporation and it shall be in the sole discretion of the Directors on which class or classes of shares, if any, a dividend is declared in a particular financial year of the Corporation, provided that the provisions of paragraphs 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 shall always be complied with. For purposes of greater certainty, it is herewith stated that a dividend may be paid in money or property or by issuing fully paid shares of the Corporation.

12.     In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or other distribution of assets of the Corporation among Shareholders for the purposes of winding up its affairs, before any amount is paid or any property or assets of the Corporation are distributed to the holders of any Class D Shares, Voting Common Shares or Non-voting Common Shares, the holders of the Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares shall be entitled to receive out of the assets and property of the Corporation the Redemption Amounts for each Class A Share, Class B Share and Class C Share, together with all dividends declared thereon and remaining unpaid. If the property and assets of the Corporation are insufficient to pay the respective Redemption Amounts for each Class A Share, Class B Share and Class C Share, then the property and assets of the Corporation shall be distributed among the holders of the Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares in a manner such that the ratio of the amount distributed on each share to its Redemption Amount shall be the same for all such shares. After payment to the holders of the Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares of the respective Redemption Amounts for each such share, they shall not be entitled to participate in any further distribution of the property or assets of the Corporation. Thereafter, the holders of the Class D Shares shall be entitled to receive out of the assets and property of the Corporation the Redemption Amount for each Class D Share together with all dividends declared thereon and remaining unpaid, and after such payment to the holders of Class D Shares they shall not be entitled to participate in any further distribution of the property or assets of the Corporation. Thereafter, the holders of the Voting Common Shares and Non-voting Common Shares shall exclusively be entitled to receive rateably, share for share, without preference or distinction, any remaining property or assets of the Corporation.

47

13.     The Corporation shall have the right, at its option at any time, and from time to time, on notice in the manner hereinafter prescribed, or, if all the Shareholders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class D Shares so agree, without any notice, to redeem all or any portion of the Class A Shares held by any Shareholder for the sum of the Redemption Amount per Class A Share, together with any declared and unpaid dividends thereon. Such redemption may be effected selectively among the holders thereof, such that, for greater certainty, the Class A Shares of one or more Shareholders thereof may be redeemed without any Class A Shares of the other holders (or without any Class B Shares, Class C Shares or Class D Shares) being redeemed concurrently therewith or at all. The prescribed manner of notice of redemption of the Class A Shares shall be sixty (60) or more days notice from date of mailing given by registered letter directed to the registered holder or holders of the Class A Shares to be redeemed at the address of the holders appearing on the books of the Corporation. At the same time the notice of redemption is mailed, a copy of such notice shall be sent by registered mail to all the registered holders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class D Shares, for their information. By the date specified for redemption (the “Surrender Date”) in the said notice, a holder of Class A Shares to be redeemed shall surrender at the registered office of the Corporation the certificate or certificates for the said shares, duly endorsed, and upon surrender of the certificate or certificates, the Corporation shall pay or cause to be paid to or to the order of the holder the sum of the Redemption Amount per Class A Share, together with any declared and unpaid dividends thereon. If by the Surrender Date a holder of Class A Shares to be redeemed has not surrendered the certificate or certificates for such shares, his Class A Shares called for redemption may be redeemed and for all purposes shall be deemed to be redeemed on the Corporation depositing into any chartered bank in Canada for such holder’s credit the amount due thereon for redemption as aforesaid without interest, and after such deposit is made, the Class A Shares called for redemption shall cease to be entitled to dividends and the holder thereof shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder of shares in respect thereof.

14.     The Corporation shall have the right, at its option at any time, and from time to time, on notice in the manner hereinafter prescribed, or, if all the Shareholders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class D Shares so agree, without any notice, to redeem all or any portion of the Class B Shares held by any Shareholder for the sum of the Redemption Amount per Class B Share, together with any declared and unpaid dividends thereon. Such redemption may be effected selectively among the holders thereof, such that, for greater certainty, the Class B Shares of one or more Shareholders thereof may be redeemed without any Class B Shares of the other holders (or without any Class A Shares, Class C Shares or Class D Shares) being redeemed concurrently therewith or at all. The prescribed manner of notice of redemption of the Class B Shares shall be sixty (60) or more days notice from date of mailing given by registered letter directed to the registered holder or holders of the Class B Shares to be redeemed at the address of the holders appearing on the books of the Corporation. At the same time the notice of redemption is mailed, a copy of such notice shall be sent by registered mail to all the registered holders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class D Shares, for their information. By the date specified for redemption (the “Surrender Date”) in the said notice, a holder of Class B Shares to be redeemed shall surrender at the registered office of the Corporation the certificate or certificates for the said shares, duly endorsed, and upon surrender of the certificate or certificates, the Corporation shall pay or cause to be paid to or to the order of the holder the sum of the Redemption Amount per Class B Share, together with any declared and unpaid dividends thereon. If by the Surrender Date a holder of Class B Shares to be redeemed has not surrendered the certificate or certificates for such shares, his Class B Shares called for redemption may be redeemed and for all purposes shall be deemed to be redeemed on the Corporation depositing into any chartered bank in Canada for such holder’s credit the amount due thereon for redemption as aforesaid without interest, and after such deposit is made, the Class B Shares called for redemption shall cease to be entitled to dividends and the holder thereof shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder of shares in respect thereof.

48

15.     The Corporation shall have the right, at its option at any time, and from time to time, on notice in the manner hereinafter prescribed, or, if all the Shareholders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class D Shares so agree, without any notice, to redeem all or any portion of the Class C Shares held by any Shareholder for the sum of the Redemption Amount per Class C Share, together with any declared and unpaid dividends thereon. Such redemption may be effected selectively among the holders thereof, such that, for greater certainty, the Class C Shares of one or more Shareholders thereof may be redeemed without any Class C Shares of the other holders (or without any Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class D Shares) being redeemed concurrently therewith or at all. The prescribed manner of notice of redemption of the Class C Shares shall be sixty (60) or more days notice from date of mailing given by registered letter directed to the registered holder or holders of the Class C Shares to be redeemed at the address of the holders appearing on the books of the Corporation. At the same time the notice of redemption is mailed, a copy of such notice shall be sent by registered mail to all the registered holders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class D Shares, for their information. By the date specified for redemption (the “Surrender Date”) in the said notice, a holder of Class C Shares to be redeemed shall surrender at the registered office of the Corporation the certificate or certificates for the said shares, duly endorsed, and upon surrender of the certificate or certificates, the Corporation shall pay or cause to be paid to or to the order of the holder the sum of the Redemption Amount per Class C Share, together with any declared and unpaid dividends thereon. If by the Surrender Date a holder of Class C Shares to be redeemed has not surrendered the certificate or certificates for such shares, his Class C Shares called for redemption may be redeemed and for all purposes shall be deemed to be redeemed on the Corporation depositing into any chartered bank in Canada for such holder’s credit the amount due thereon for redemption as aforesaid without interest, and after such deposit is made, the Class C Shares called for redemption shall cease to be entitled to dividends and the holder thereof shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder of shares in respect thereof.

16.     The Corporation shall have the right, at its option at any time, and from time to time, on notice in the manner hereinafter prescribed, or, if all the Shareholders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class D Shares so agree, without any notice, to redeem all or any portion of the Class D Shares held by any Shareholder for the sum of the Redemption Amount per Class D Share, together with any declared and unpaid dividends thereon. Such redemption may be effected selectively among the holders thereof, such that, for greater certainty, the Class D Shares of one or more Shareholders thereof may be redeemed without any Class D Shares of the other holders (or without any Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares) being redeemed concurrently therewith or at all. The prescribed manner of notice of redemption of the Class D Shares shall be sixty (60) or more days notice from date of mailing given by registered letter directed to the registered holder or holders of the Class D Shares to be redeemed at the address of the holders appearing on the books of the Corporation. At the same time the notice of redemption is mailed, a copy of such notice shall be sent by registered mail to all the registered holders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class D Shares, for their information. By the date specified for redemption (the “Surrender Date”) in the said notice, a holder of Class D Shares to be redeemed shall surrender at the registered office of the Corporation the certificate or certificates for the said shares, duly endorsed, and upon surrender of the certificate or certificates, the Corporation shall pay or cause to be paid to or to the order of the holder the sum of the Redemption Amount per Class D Share, together with any declared and unpaid dividends thereon. If by the Surrender Date a holder of Class D Shares to be redeemed has not surrendered the certificate or certificates for such shares, his Class D Shares called for redemption may be redeemed and for all purposes shall be deemed to be redeemed on the Corporation depositing into any chartered bank in Canada for such holder’s credit the amount due thereon for redemption as aforesaid without interest, and after such deposit is made, the Class D Shares called for redemption shall cease to be entitled to dividends and the holder thereof shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder of shares in respect thereof.

17.     Any Shareholder of Class A Shares shall be entitled to require the Corporation to redeem at any time and from time to time all or any portion of the Class A Shares registered in the name of such holder by tendering to the Corporation at its registered office the certificate or certificates representing the Class A Shares which the said holder desires to have the Corporation redeem, together with a request in writing (the “Redemption Request”) specifying the desire for redemption, the number of shares which the holder desires to have redeemed and the effective date of such redemption (the “Redemption Date”) on which the holder desires to have the Corporation redeem such shares, which Redemption Date (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Corporation and by all of the Shareholders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares) shall not be less than fourteen (14) days after the day on which the request is received by the Corporation.

For greater certainty, no Shareholder’s Notice need be served on any holder of Class D Shares, Voting Common Shares or Non-voting Common Shares. Prior to or at the same time that the Redemption Request is tendered to the Corporation, the holder shall provide to the Corporation proof of service of the Shareholder’s Notice on each of the other registered holders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares (or a written waiver of such notice) in the manner provided in subparagraph 20(a) hereof.

Thereafter, the holder thereof shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder of shares in respect thereof. In the event of default of payment of the redemption price on the Redemption Date, the Shareholder shall have the option to rescind the redemption in which event the rights of the holder of such shares shall remain unaffected or to make claim for the redemption price with interest from the Redemption Date at the rate equal to the prime lending rate from time to time of the financial institution used by the Corporation as its banker.

18.     Any Shareholder of Class B Shares shall be entitled to require the Corporation to redeem at any time and from time to time all or any portion of the Class B Shares registered in the name of such holder by tendering to the Corporation at its registered office the certificate or certificates representing the Class B Shares which the said holder desires to have the Corporation redeem, together with a request in writing (the “Redemption Request”) specifying the desire for redemption, the number of shares which the holder desires to have redeemed and the effective date of such redemption (the “Redemption Date”) on which the holder desires to have the Corporation redeem such shares, which Redemption Date (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Corporation and by all of the Shareholders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares) shall not be less than fourteen (14) days after the day on which the request is received by the Corporation. Prior to the tender to the Corporation of the Redemption Request, the holder shall serve notice (the “Shareholder’s Notice”) of the Redemption Request on each of the other registered holders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares, which Shareholder’s Notice shall be served in the manner provided in subparagraph 20(a) hereof. For greater certainty, no Shareholder’s Notice need be served on any holder of Class D Shares, Voting Common Shares or Non-voting Common Shares. Prior to or at the same time that the Redemption Request is tendered to the Corporation, the holder shall provide to the Corporation proof of service of the Shareholder’s Notice on each of the other registered holders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares (or a written waiver of such notice) in the manner provided in subparagraph 20(a) hereof.

Thereafter, the holder thereof shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder of shares in respect thereof. In the event of default of payment of the redemption price on the Redemption Date, the Shareholder shall have the option to rescind the redemption in which event the rights of the holder of such shares shall remain unaffected or to make claim for the redemption price with interest from the Redemption Date at the rate equal to the prime lending rate from time to time of the financial institution used by the Corporation as its banker.

50

19.     Any Shareholder of Class C Shares shall be entitled to require the Corporation to redeem at any time and from time to time all or any portion of the Class C Shares registered in the name of such holder by tendering to the Corporation at its registered office the certificate or certificates representing the Class C Shares which the said holder desires to have the Corporation redeem, together with a request in writing (the “Redemption Request”) specifying the desire for redemption, the number of shares which the holder desires to have redeemed and the effective date of such redemption (the “Redemption Date”) on which the holder desires to have the Corporation redeem such shares, which Redemption Date (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Corporation and by all of the Shareholders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares) shall not be less than fourteen (14) days after the day on which the request is received by the Corporation. Prior to the tender to the Corporation of the Redemption Request, the holder shall serve notice (the “Shareholder’s Notice”) of the Redemption Request on each of the other registered holders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares, which Shareholder’s Notice shall be served in the manner provided in subparagraph 20(a) hereof. For greater certainty, no Shareholder’s Notice need be served on any holder of Class D Shares, Voting Common Shares or Non-voting Common Shares. Prior to or at the same time that the Redemption Request is tendered to the Corporation, the holder shall provide to the Corporation proof of service of the Shareholder’s Notice on each of the other registered holders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares (or a written waiver of such notice) in the manner provided in subparagraph 20(a) hereof. Upon receipt by the Corporation of the Redemption Request together with the share certificates to be redeemed and of the proof of service of the Shareholder’s Notice on each of the other registered holders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares (or a written waiver of such notice), the Corporation shall on the Redemption Date redeem such shares by paying or causing to be paid to or to the order of such holder, the sum of the Redemption Amount per Class C Share to be redeemed, together with any declared and unpaid dividends thereon. Thereafter, the holder thereof shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder of shares in respect thereof. In the event of default of payment of the redemption price on the Redemption Date, the Shareholder shall have the option to rescind the redemption in which event the rights of the holder of such shares shall remain unaffected or to make claim for the redemption price with interest from the Redemption Date at the rate equal to the prime lending rate from time to time of the financial institution used by the Corporation as its banker.

51

20.      (a)     The Shareholder’s Notice to be served by a Shareholder regarding redemption of his shares under paragraphs 17, 18 or 19 must be effected on each of the other registered Shareholders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares not less than thirty (30) days prior to the tender of the Redemption Request by the Shareholder to the Corporation. Service of the Shareholder’s Notice shall be effected on a Shareholder by registered letter directed to the address of the Shareholder appearing on the books of the Corporation (deemed effective the date of mailing) or by leaving a copy of the Shareholder’s Notice at the address of the Shareholder appearing on the books of the Corporation. (If no address of the Shareholder appears on the books of the Corporation, the address for service of an individual shall be deemed to be his place of residence reasonably determined, or in the case of a Corporation, the registered office of the Corporation.)

Proof of service of the Shareholder’s Notice on a Shareholder may be made to the Corporation by providing to the Corporation an affidavit of service in the same form as the affidavit of service used for proof of service of a document under the Federal Court Rules of the Federal Court of Canada.

(b)     Another Shareholder of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares may in writing waive the requirement to be served with the Shareholder’s Notice in which case the Shareholder requesting redemption of his shares shall provide the waiver to the Corporation in lieu of proof of service of the Shareholder’s Notice.

(c)     Notwithstanding anything contained in paragraphs 17, 18 and 19 hereof, or in subparagraphs 20(a) and 20(b) hereof, another Shareholder of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares (the “Second Preferred Shareholder”) who receives a Shareholder’s Notice from the Shareholder who is requesting the redemption of his shares (the “First Preferred Shareholder”) shall not be required to serve a Shareholder’s Notice on the First Preferred Shareholder or on the other registered Shareholders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares in the event that the Second Preferred Shareholder decides to request the Corporation to redeem on the Redemption Date selected by the First Preferred Shareholder a number of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares, as the case may be, owned by the Second Preferred Shareholder which have aggregate Redemption Amounts less than or equal to the aggregate Redemption Amounts of the shares which the First Preferred Shareholder has requested to have redeemed on the Redemption Date. In such case, notwithstanding paragraphs 17, 18 or 19, the Second Preferred Shareholder shall accordingly not be required to provide the Corporation with proofs of service of the Shareholder’s Notice.

21.        (a)     If less than all of the Class A Shares represented by any certificate or certificates of a holder are to be redeemed as set forth in paragraphs 13 or 17, the holder shall be entitled to receive, at the expense of the Corporation, a new certificate representing the Class A Shares comprised in the certificate or certificates surrendered as aforesaid which are not to be redeemed.

(b)     If less than all of the Class B Shares represented by any certificate or certificates of a Shareholder are to be redeemed as set forth in paragraphs 14 or 18, the holder shall be entitled to receive, at the expense of the Corporation, a new certificate representing the Class B Shares comprised in the certificate or certificates surrendered as aforesaid which are not to be redeemed.

(the “Corporation”)

The amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation dated January 21, 2000, as amended by Articles of Amendment dated October 6, 2000 and April 3, 2001 (collectively, the “Articles”) has been authorized by the shareholders pursuant to Section 167(1) of The Corporations Act (Manitoba) and the Articles are amended as follows:

1.     by creating an unlimited number of Class A Preferred shares which may be issued for an unlimited maximum consideration;

2.     by providing that the Class A Preferred shares shall be subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions set forth in the annexed Schedule “I”, which Schedule “I” is incorporated in this form;

3.     by deleting the Non-Voting Common, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D shares of the Corporation;

4.     by deleting the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Non-Voting Common, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D shares of the Corporation;

5.     after giving effect to the foregoing, the authorized capital of the Corporation shall consist of:

an unlimited number of Voting Common shares; and
an unlimited number of Class A Preferred shares.

59

Schedule “I” to Articles of Amendment of

DiaMedica Inc.

(the “Corporation”)

1. In these Articles of Amendment, unless the context otherwise requires:

“Articles” means the amended articles of incorporation of the Corporation, as shall be in force from time to time.

“Original Issue Price” means $0.60 per share the price actually paid by each respective Class A Preferred Shareholder in Canadian Dollars for each Class A Preferred Share held by such Class A Preferred Shareholder (as adjusted for any Common Share Reorganization, as defined herein).

2.                          The Class A Preferred Shares shall have attached thereto the following rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions:

 Dividends

(a) The holders of Class A Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared thereon by the board of directors of the Corporation, provided that no dividend may be declared or paid on the common voting shares (the “Common Shares”) unless the identical dividend per share is declared or paid, as the case may be, on the Class A Preferred Shares.

 Voting

(b) The holders of the Class A Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive notice of and to attend any meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation and shall be entitled to such number of votes as is equal to the number of Common Shares into which such Class A Preferred Shares are convertible at the time of the applicable vote.

 Liquidation Preference on Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding-up

(c) In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or other distribution of assets of the Corporation amongst its shareholders for the purposes of winding up its affairs, the holders of Class A Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive in preference to the holders of any other class of capital stock of the Corporation, an amount per Class A Preferred Share equal to the greater of: (i) the Original Issue Price; and (ii) an amount equal to the pro rata share of the assets which would be available for distribution to the holders of the Class A Preferred Shares if such Class A Preferred Shares were converted into Common Shares at the applicable time of such liquidation or wind-up, together with holders of Common Shares (such greater amount is referred to herein as the “Liquidation Preference”). A merger, acquisition, sale of voting control or sale of substantially all of the assets and/or shares of the Corporation which results in the shareholders of the Corporation not owning a majority of the outstanding shares of the surviving corporation shall be deemed to be a liquidation for the purposes of this clause. All rights of the holders of Class A Preferred Shares shall cease with respect to the Class A Preferred Shares upon receipt of the payment of the full amount of the

60

Liquidation Preference.

Conversion Right and Conversion Price

(d) The Class A Preferred Shares are convertible into Common Shares at the option of the holder. Each Class A Preferred Shares is convertible into such number of fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares as is determined by dividing the Original Issue Price for such Class A Preferred Share by the applicable conversion price at the time in effect for such share (the “Conversion Price”). The initial Conversion Price of the Class A Preferred Shares shall be $0.60; provided however, that the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions set forth below.

Conversion Procedure

(e) The conversion privileges for which provision is made herein shall be exercised by notice in writing given to the Corporation accompanied by the certificate or certificates representing the Class A Preferred Shares in respect of which the holder desires to exercise such conversion privilege and such notice shall be signed by the holder of the Class A Preferred Shares in respect of which such right is being exercised or by his duly authorized representative(s) and shall specify the number of Class A Preferred Shares which the holder desires to have converted. The Corporation shall pay any governmental or other tax imposed in respect of such conversion. Upon receipt of such notice and certificate or certificates, the Corporation shall, effective as of the date of such receipt, issue or cause to be issued a certificate or certificates representing such number of fully paid Common Shares as determined by dividing the Original Issue Price of the Class A Preferred Shares to be converted by the Conversion Price then in effect. If less than all of the Class A Preferred Shares represented by any certificate are to be converted, the holder shall be entitled to receive a new certificate representing the Class A Preferred Shares represented by the original certificate which are not to be converted.

IPO Conversion

(f) The Class A Preferred Shares shall automatically convert into Common Shares based on the then applicable Conversion Price immediately prior to the closing of an Initial Public Offering (as defined below) of the Corporation at a share price not less than Original Issue Price per Common Share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like).

For the purposes hereof, “Initial Public Offering” shall mean an offering of Common Shares by the Corporation to members of the public of not less than $2,000,000 (before deduction of commissions and expenses) and the listing of the Common Shares on a recognized stock exchange or completion of another transaction which results in the listing or public trading of the Common Shares or another class of shares, the terms of which are acceptable to the holders of 2/3 of the issued and outstanding Common Shares and the holders of 2/3 of the issued and outstanding Class A Preferred Shares.

61

Anti-Dilution Provisions

(g) If at any time after the issuance of the first issued Class A Preferred Share, and until the closing of an Initial Public Offering, the Corporation shall issue any Additional Securities (as defined below) at a price per share lower than the Conversion Price then in effect (the “Reduced Price”), then in such event, the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, for no additional consideration, to a price which equals the Reduced Price.

No adjustments of the Conversion Price shall be made in an amount less than one cent per share ($0.01). No adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this paragraph shall be made if it has the effect of increasing the Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

In the case of the issuance of Additional Securities for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash received by the Corporation therefor.

In the case of the issuance of Additional Securities for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof, determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Corporation.

“Additional Securities” means securities of any class issued by the Corporation after the issuance of the first Class A Preferred Share, other than shares issued upon a subdivision or combination of any of the Common Shares of the Corporation as described below.

Adjustment of Conversion Price

(h) If the Corporation shall declare a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding Common Shares, in either case payable in Common Shares, other than pursuant to any dividend reinvestment or stock purchase plan, or shall divide its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares, or shall consolidate its outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of shares, or there should occur a consolidation or merger or amalgamation of the Corporation with or into any other company or body corporate, including by way of a sale whereby all or substantially all of the Corporation’s undertaking and assets would become the property of any other company or body corporate (any such event being herein called a “Common Share Reorganization”), the Conversion Price then in effect shall be adjusted immediately after the effective date or record date of the Common Share Reorganization such that the number of Common Shares (or the shares into which the Common Shares of the Corporation are changed or reclassified) into which the Class A Preferred Shares are convertible shall be increased, decreased or changed by increasing or decreasing (as applicable) the number of Common Shares of the Corporation or changing the appropriate class or classes resulting from said reclassification or change or reclassifications or changes as the holder of the Class A Preferred Shares would have been entitled to receive had the right of conversion been exercised before such reclassification or change or reclassifications or changes.

62

Redemption at Option of Class A Preferred Shareholders

(i) The Corporation shall, at any time and from time to time, after March 14, 2010, upon 60 days prior notice and at the election of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Class A Preferred Shares, redeem all of the outstanding Class A Preferred Shares in preference to all other classes of shares in one installment to be paid in full. Such redemption shall be at a purchase price equal to the greater of (i) Original Issue Price per Class A Preferred Share and (ii) the fair market value of the Class A Preferred Shares on an as if converted basis. For the purposes of this section, “fair market value” shall be the purchase price for Class A Preferred Shares or Common Shares in respect of the most recent sale made to a bona fide arm’s length third party purchaser within the previous six months or, if no such sale has occurred within the previous six months, as determined by the directors of the Corporation acting reasonably.
