THE COMPANY, (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN

PURSUANT TO THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE
U.S. SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER,
IF AVAILABLE, AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS."
"THE PRESENCE OF THIS LEGEND MAY IMPAIR THE ABILITY
OF THE HOLDER HEREOF TO EFFECT GOOD DELIVERY OF THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ON A CANADIAN STOCK
EXCHANGE. PROVIDED THAT THE COMPANY IS A "FOREIGN
ISSUER" WITHIN THE MEANING OF REGULATION S AT THE
TIME OF SALE, A CERTIFICATE WITHOUT A LEGEND MAY BE
OBTAINED FROM THE REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT IN
CONNECTION WITH A SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED
HEREBY UPON DELIVERY OF THIS CERTIFICATE AND AN
EXECUTED DECLARATION, IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE
REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT AND THE COMPANY, TO THE
EFFECT THAT SUCH SALE IS BEING MADE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S.
SECURITIES ACT."
provided, that if the Shares are being sold outside the
United States in compliance with the requirements of Rule
904 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act, and
provided that the Corporation is a "foreign issuer" within
the meaning of Regulation S at the time of sale, the legends
may be removed by providing a declaration to the registrar
and transfer agent, to the following effect (or as the
Corporation may prescribe from time to time):
"The undersigned (A) acknowledges that the sale of
the securities of Cedara Software Corp. (the
"Company") to which this declaration relates is being
made in reliance on Rule 904 of Regulation S under
the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "U.S. Securities Act") and (B) certifies that
(1) the undersigned is not an affiliate of the
Company as that term is defined in the U.S.
Securities Act, (2) the offer of such securities was
not made to a person in the United States and either,
(a) at the time the buy order was originated, the
buyer was outside the United States, or the seller
and any person acting on its behalf reasonably
believe that the buyer was outside the United States
or (b) the transaction was executed on or through the
facilities of The Toronto Stock Exchange and neither
the seller nor any person acting on its behalf knows
that the transaction has been prearranged with a
buyer in the United States, (3) neither the seller
nor any affiliate of the seller nor any person acting
on their behalf has engaged or will engage in any
directed selling efforts in the United States in
connection with the offer and sale of such
securities, (4) the sale is bona fide and not for the
purpose of "washing off" the resale restrictions
imposed because the securities are "restricted
securities" (as such term is defined in Rule
144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act), (5) the
seller does not intend to replace the securities sold
in reliance on Rule 904 of the U.S. Securities Act
with fungible unrestricted securities, and (6) the
contemplated sale is not a transaction, or part of a
series of transactions which, although in technical
compliance with Regulation S, is part of a plan or
scheme to evade the registration provisions of the
U.S. Securities Act. Terms used herein have the
meanings given to them by Regulation S."
and, provided further, that if any such Shares are being sold
pursuant to Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act, the legend may be
removed by delivery to the registrar and transfer agent of an opinion
of counsel of recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to the
Corporation, that such legend is no longer required under applicable
requirements of the U.S. Securities Act or state securities laws.
