(a) Except in the event that either or both of paragraphs (d) or (e) below applies, the Company shall promptly (i) prepare and file from time to time with the Commission a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that such Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Securities being sold thereunder, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or

necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (ii) provide the Investors copies of any documents filed pursuant to Section 4.4(a)(i); and (iii) inform each Investor that the Company has complied with its obligations in Section 4.4(a)(i) (or that, if the Company has filed a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement which has not yet been declared effective, the Company will notify the Investors to that effect, will use its reasonable efforts to secure the effectiveness of such post-effective amendment as promptly as possible and will promptly notify the Investors when the amendment has become effective).

(b) Subject to paragraph (c) below, in the event of (i) any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; or (iv) any event or circumstance which necessitates the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; then the Company shall cause to be received by the Investors a certificate in writing to the Investors (the “Suspension Notice”) to the effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, each Investor will refrain from selling any Securities not already sold pursuant to the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”) until such Investor’s receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus prepared and filed by the Company, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the current Prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in any such Prospectus. Subject to paragraph (c) below, in the event of any Suspension, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the use of the Prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as reasonably practicable after the delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Investors. In addition to and without limiting any other remedies (including, without limitation, at law or at equity) available to the Investors, the Investors shall be entitled to specific performance in the event that the Company fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.4(b).

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Company shall furnish to the Investors a certificate (a “Takedown Notice”) signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stating that its Board of Directors has made the good faith determination (i) that continued use by the Investors of the Registration Statement for purposes of effecting offers or sales of the Securities pursuant thereto would require, under the Securities Act, premature disclosure in the Registration Statement (or the prospectus relating thereto) of material, nonpublic information concerning the Company, its

business or prospects or any of its proposed material transactions, and (ii) that such premature disclosure would be materially detrimental to the Company, then (x) the Company may postpone the filing or effectiveness of such Registration Statement, or (y) suspend the right of the Investors to use the Registration Statement (and the prospectus relating thereto) for purposes of effecting offers or sales of the Securities pursuant thereto. Upon receipt of a Takedown Notice, each Investor will refrain from selling any Securities not already sold pursuant to the Registration Statement (a “Takedown”) until such Investor’s receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus prepared and filed by the Company, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the current Prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in any such Prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not under any circumstances be entitled to exercise its right to postpone the filing or effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, the Registration Statement more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period, and the aggregate number of days during which the filing or effectiveness of, or the suspension of the use of, the Registration Statement may be postponed or suspended shall not exceed ninety (90) days in any such (12) month period. Each Investor hereby covenants and agrees that it will not sell any Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement during a period in which the ability to sell thereunder is suspended as set forth in this Section 4.4(c) and will maintain in confidence the fact and content of any notice provided under this Section 4.4(c).

The effectiveness of the Registration Statement may not be postponed and the rights of each Investor to sell Securities under the Registration Statement may not be suspended under this Section 4.4(c) unless the Company has similarly suspended distribution rights under any other effective registration statement of which it is the registrant (except for registration statements on Form S-8) and has similarly suspended the rights of its officers and directors to trade in its securities for at least the same period.

(d) Provided that a Suspension or a Takedown is not then in effect, each Investor may sell Securities under the Registration Statement, provided that it arranges for delivery of a current Prospectus to the transferee of such Securities. Upon receipt of a request therefor, the Company has agreed to provide an adequate number of current Prospectuses to the Investors and to supply copies to any other parties requiring such Prospectuses.

(e) If (i) the Registration Statement is not filed on or before the Filing Deadline or declared effective by the Commission on or before the Registration Deadline, (ii) after the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, other than during a Takedown, sales of Securities cannot be made by the Investors under the Registration Statement for any reason not within the exclusive control of the Investors or (iii) other than during a Takedown, an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or a new registration statement, required to be filed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement is not filed as required hereunder (each of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) being referred to herein as a “Registration Default”), the Company shall make cash payments to the Investors (the “Registration Penalty”), as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to three-quarters of one percent (0.75%) of the Per Share Price for each of the Securities subject to the Registration Statement for the first 90-day period or portion thereof following the Registration Default, and thereafter the Registration Penalty shall increase by an incremental three-quarters of one percent (0.75%) of the Per Share Price for each of the Securities subject to

the Registration Statement for each successive 90-day period or portion thereof during which the Registration Default exists and is continuing, provided that in no event shall the Registration Penalty exceed three percent (3.00%) of the Purchase Price, provided further that no Registration Penalty shall accrue after the Registration Statement Termination Date, and provided further that no Registration Penalty shall accrue during any Takedown. Upon the cure of all Registration Defaults, the accrual of the Registration Penalty will automatically cease. The Registration Penalty shall be computed based on the actual number of days elapsed in each 90-day period in which a Registration Default exists, and each payment required to be made under this Section 4.4(e) shall be made within five (5) Business Days following the last day of each 90-day period in which a Registration Default exists. Any such payment shall be the sole monetary remedy available to the Investors pursuant to the terms hereof or otherwise.

4.5 Use of Investor Name. Except as may be required by applicable law and/or this Agreement, the Company shall not use, directly or indirectly, the name of any Investor or the name of any Affiliate of any Investor in any advertisement, announcement, press release or other similar communication unless it has received the prior written consent of such Investor for the specific use contemplated or as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation.

4.6 Listing. The Company hereby agrees to use reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing and trading of its Common Shares on the NASDAQ Global Market and the Toronto Stock Exchange (or another nationally recognized Trading Market). The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Shares traded on any other Trading Market, it will include in such application the Securities, and will take such other action as is necessary or desirable to cause all of the Securities to be listed on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible.

4.7 Indemnification of Investors. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold each Investor and, if applicable, their trustees, beneficiaries and agents (each, an “Investor Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any action instituted against an Investor or its Affiliates with respect to or based upon (i) in the case of the Registration Statement, any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, in the case of any Prospectus, any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (ii) any breach of the Company’s representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement (unless such breach is based upon a breach of such Investor’s representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement or any violations by such Investor of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Investor which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Investor Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Investor Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing. Any Investor Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Investor Party except to the extent

that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time following such Investor Party’s written request that it do so, to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Investor Party. The failure of an Investor Party to deliver written notice to the Company within a reasonable time of the delivery of notice of any such action, to the extent materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve the Company of any liability to such Investor Party under this Section 4.7 with respect to such action, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the Company will not relieve the Company of any liability that it may have to such Investor Party otherwise than under this Section 4.7 or with respect to any other action. The Company will not be liable to any Investor Party under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by an Investor Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to such Investor Party’s fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance or to such Investor Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Investor in this Agreement.

(b) In the event that the indemnity provided in this Section 4.7 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Investor Party (other than by reason of exceptions provided herein), the Company agrees to contribute to the aggregate Losses to which such Investor Party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and such Investor Party in connection with the actions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The Company and the Investors agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.7, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

4.8 Standstill.

(a) Each Investor covenants and agrees that, except as set forth herein, neither such Investor nor any of its Affiliates shall directly or indirectly, in one transaction or a series of related transactions:

(i) acquire, offer to acquire, or agree to acquire, directly or indirectly, by purchase or otherwise, (x) any securities or direct or indirect rights to acquire any securities of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, or of any successor of the Company or any such Subsidiary, or (y) any assets of the Company or any division thereof or of any successor of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company; provided, however, that the Investors shall be permitted to acquire, directly or indirectly, by purchase or otherwise, such number of securities or direct or indirect rights to acquire any securities of the Company as shall permit the Investors and their Affiliates to maintain their ownership percentage at 19.9% of the total issued and outstanding Common Shares;

(ii) seek or propose to influence or control the management or policies of the Company, make or in any way participate in, directly or indirectly, any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in the rules of the Commission) to vote any voting securities of the Company or any Subsidiary, or seek to advise or influence any person or entity with respect to the voting of any voting securities of the Company or any Subsidiary;

(iii) make any public announcement with respect to, or submit a proposal for or offer of (with or without conditions), any merger, amalgamation, recapitalization, reorganization, business combination or other extraordinary transaction involving the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their securities or assets;

(iv) enter into any discussions, negotiations, arrangements or understandings with any third party with respect to any of the foregoing, or otherwise form, join or in any way engage in discussions relating to the formation of, or participate in, a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, or relating in any way to, the Company or any of its securities;

(v) sell or otherwise transfer Common Shares to any Person or any Persons constituting a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, which after such sale or transfer would be the beneficial or record owner of 5% or more of the then outstanding Common Shares, unless each such Person agrees to be subject to the restrictions of this Section 4.8; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any sale or transfer of Common Shares in a bona fide public offering or ordinary broker transactions; or

(vi) request the Company, directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this Section 4.8 in a manner that would require any public disclosure by the Company, such Investor or any other Person.

(b) Each Investor’s obligations under this Section 4.8, except for the obligations under Section 4.8(a)(v), shall terminate immediately upon the fifth anniversary of this Agreement and each Investor’s obligations under Section 4.8(a)(v) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of this Agreement and (ii) the date when the Investors and their Affiliates beneficially own less than 14.56% of the outstanding Common Shares.

5.1.1

the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date as if made on such date (except that to the extent that any such representation or warranty relates to a particular date,

5.2.1

the representations and warranties of such Investor set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date as if made on such date (except that to the extent that any such representation or warranty relates to a particular date, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as of that date); provided, however, that such representations and warranties that are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect shall be true and correct in all respects as so qualified;

5.2.3

5.2.4

the Investors shall have tendered to the Company the Purchase Price for the Securities being purchased by it at the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wire transfer instructions set forth on Exhibit B hereto.

6.	MISCELLANEOUS.

6.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by the Company or the Investors, by written notice to the other party, if the Closing has not been consummated by May 16, 2008; provided that no such termination will affect the right of any party to xxx for any breach by the other party (or parties).

6.2 Survival; Severability. The covenants and indemnities, agreements, representations and warranties made by the parties herein shall survive the Closing, provided, however, that the representations and warranties set forth or made by each Investor herein will terminate upon the final sale by such Investor of such Investor’s Securities. In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision; provided that in such case the parties shall negotiate in good faith to replace such provision with a new provision which is not illegal, unenforceable or void, as long as such new provision does not materially change the economic benefits of this Agreement to the parties.

6.3 Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party

other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. Each Investor may assign their respective rights and obligations hereunder, in connection with any private sale or transfer of the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, as long as, as a condition precedent to such transfer, the transferee executes an acknowledgment agreeing to be bound by the applicable provisions of this Agreement, in which case the term “Investor” shall be deemed to refer to such transferee as though such transferee were an original signatory hereto. The Company may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the written consent of the Investors.

6.4 No Reliance. Each party acknowledges that (i) it has such knowledge in business and financial matters as to be fully capable of evaluating this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) it is not relying on any advice or representation of any other party in connection with entering into this Agreement or such transactions (other than the representations made in this Agreement), (iii) it has not received from any other party any assurance or guarantee as to the merits (whether legal, regulatory, tax, financial or otherwise) of entering into this Agreement or the performance of its obligations hereunder, and (iv) it has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial and accounting advisors to the extent that it has deemed necessary, and has entered into this Agreement based on its own independent judgment and on the advice of its advisors as it has deemed necessary, and not on any view (whether written or oral) expressed by any other party.

6.5 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Company and each Investor will be entitled to seek specific performance under this Securities Purchase Agreement. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation (other than in connection with any action for temporary restraining order) the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

6.6 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of the City of New York for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereby waives all rights to a trial by jury.

6.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile transmission.

6.8 Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

6.9 Notices. Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given by the Company or any Investor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered (i) when delivered personally or by verifiable facsimile transmission, unless such delivery is made on a day that is not a Business Day, in which case such delivery will be deemed to be made on the next succeeding Business Day, (ii) on the next Business Day after timely delivery to an overnight courier and (iii) on the Business Day actually received if deposited in the U.S. mail (certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid), addressed as follows:
