BEFORE <INSERT DATE THAT IS FOUR MONTHS AND A DAY AFTER THE DISTRIBUTION DATE.>

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 TSX SINCE THEY ARE NOT FREELY TRANSFERABLE, AND CONSEQUENTLY ANY CERTIFICATE REPRESENTING SUCH SECURITIES IS NOT “GOOD DELIVERY” IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON TSX.”

5.5   Participation Rights

(a)   Until the 24 month anniversary of the date of this Agreement, in the event that the Company proposes to sell or issue any equity securities or securities convertible or exchangeable into equity securities of the Company (collectively, the “Offered Securities”), other than pursuant to an Excluded Issuance (an “Offering”), Enbridge shall have the right (the “Participation Right”) to acquire in such Offering (on an unregistered and private placement basis) for cash at the subscription price set forth in the Participation Right Offer Notice such number of the Offered Securities necessary in order to maintain Enbridge’s percentage ownership interest of issued Common Shares that is the same as the percentage ownership of issued Common Shares owned by Enbridge immediately prior to giving effect to such Offering. The exercise of the Participation Right shall be subject to the satisfaction of any applicable regulatory requirements (which the Company shall use reasonable efforts to obtain).

(b)   Within five business days of entering into a definitive agreement with respect to an Offering, the Company shall provide written notice to Enbridge specifying the terms and conditions of such Offering including a description of the Offered Securities and the proposed closing date for the issuance of Offered Securities (the “Participation Right Offer Notice”).

- 14 -

(f)   The Participation Right shall cease to be applicable on the earlier of (i) the date Enbridge ceases to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding Common Shares and (ii) the date the Joint Development Agreement is terminated.

Enbridge may designate from time to time an individual who is (i) an employee of Enbridge at a seniority level of director or equivalent or higher or (ii) a director of Enbridge to attend meetings of the board of directors of the Company as an observer (the “Board Observer”) and, subject to the foregoing, Enbridge may from time to time change the individual who serves as Board Observer by providing written notice of such change to the Company. For greater certainty, any successor Board Observer must satisfy the above criteria for a Board Observer. Notwithstanding the previous sentences, if Enbridge owns less than 5% of the outstanding Common Shares for any reason, including if it falls below such threshold solely as a result of one or more Excluded Issuances, the ability of Enbridge to designate a Board Observer shall expire.

The Company shall:

(a)   provide the Board Observer with notice of each meeting of the board of directors of the Company, the notice to be not less than the minimum period required in respect of board of directors meetings by applicable law or the Company’s by-laws, provided that if directors duly waive the minimum notice period for a board meeting, that waiver shall reduce the notice required to be given to the Board Observer to the minimum notice permitted by that waiver provided no notice will be less than 24 hours;

(b)   deliver to the Board Observer the same materials delivered to the directors for each meeting of the board of directors;

(c)   deliver to the Board Observer drafts of all resolutions proposed for signature by the members of the board of directors of the Company (in lieu of a meeting) before such resolutions are so signed; and

(d)   permit the Board Observer to attend each meeting of the board of directors as an observer;

INDEMNIFICATION

6.1   Indemnification

The Company shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Enbridge from and against all out-of-pocket losses, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing but excluding consequential, indirect, special, punitive or similar damages or any allocation of internal costs) (hereinafter collectively, “Losses”) incurred, sustained or suffered by Enbridge, arising out of or relating to (a) any breach of the Surviving Representations and (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement by the Company contained in this Agreement.

6.2   Additional Rules

Notwithstanding anything provided in this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnification obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 6.1 shall be limited as follows:

(a)   Each Party agrees that this Article 6 sets forth Enbridge’s sole and exclusive remedy for any matter in respect of which Enbridge may make a claim under this Article 6.

(b)   In no event shall the Company’s aggregate liability for indemnification obligations under Section 6.1 of this Agreement exceed the Subscription Price.

(c)   The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Enbridge for any Losses to which Enbridge is otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.1 except to the extent that the aggregate amount of all Losses for which Enbridge is entitled to indemnification exceeds, on a cumulative basis, $500,000 (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent of such excess over and above the Deductible.

(d)   Enbridge may not assert a claim for indemnification for any Loss to which Enbridge is otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.1 that is less than $50,000 (“De Minimis Loss”) and any De Minimis Loss shall be disregarded for all purposes of this Agreement.

(e)   If at or before the date hereof, Enbridge has actual knowledge that any Surviving Representation is untrue, then the Company shall have no liability or indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 6.1 by reason of any such misrepresentation.

(f)   Enbridge shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event, fact or circumstance which could reasonably be expected to give rise to Losses. If Enbridge shall fail to take such steps, then the Company shall not be required to indemnify Enbridge for the Losses that could have been avoided if Enbridge had taken such steps.
