NOW THEREFORE THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSES THAT

, in consideration of the premises, covenants, terms, conditions representations
and warranties hereinafter set forth, the Parties agree each with the other as
follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Article 1
PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES

1.1     Purchase and Sale. Subject to the conditions and upon the terms
hereinafter set forth, Exchangeco agrees to purchase and the Vendors agree to
sell to Exchangeco all of their right, title and interest in and to the
Purchased Shares.

1.2     Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Purchased Shares shall
consist of an aggregate of 9,426,489 Exchangeable Shares to be issued to the
Vendors as set out in Schedule "B" hereto. At Closing, Exchangeco will deliver
to the Vendors certificates representing the Exchangeable Shares, all such
Exchangeable Shares to be issued as fully paid and non-assessable, and
registered in the names of the Vendors and in the denominations set forth in
Schedule "B" hereto. At the Closing, Patch will issue the Patch Preferred Share
to the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Exchange and Voting Trust
Agreement. The Vendors and Exchangeco agree that the voting rights and exchange
rights arising or granted under or pursuant to any of such agreements in favour
of a Vendor have a nominal value of $1.00.

1.3     Support Agreement and Exchange and Voting Trust Agreement. On or before
Closing Patch, Exchangeco and the Trustee shall enter into the Support Agreement
in the form attached hereto as Schedule "B" and the Exchange and Voting Trust
Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Schedule "G". Such Support Agreement
and Exchange and Voting Trust Agreement are incorporated herein by reference
thereto and the Vendors, jointly and severally, shall each have all rights and
remedies of enforcement of the Support Agreement and the Exchange and Voting
Trust Agreement as contemplated in each such agreement. The Vendors and
Exchangeco agree that the voting rights and exchange rights arising or granted
under or pursuant to any of such agreements in favour of a Vendor have a nominal
value of $1.00.

1.4     Accounting Consequences. It is intended by the parties hereto that the
purchase and sale of the Purchased Shares under this Agreement shall qualify for
accounting treatment as a recapitalization under U.S. GAAP.

1.5     Tax Treatment.

(a) It is intended that the transactions contemplated in this Agreement shall
generally constitute (i) a taxable exchange for United States federal income tax
purposes (not qualifying under Sections 368 or 351 of the United States Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) to persons who are otherwise subject to
taxation in the United States on the sale or exchange of Purchased Shares, and
(ii) a tax deferred reorganization for Canadian federal income tax purposes for
the Vendors. At the option of each Vendor, Exchangeco covenants and agrees to
elect, jointly with each such Vendor if applicable (referred to in this section
as an "Electing Vendor"), in accordance with the provisions of subsection 85(1)
of the Tax Act (and the corresponding provisions of any applicable provincial
tax legislation) in the prescribed form and within the prescribed time for the
purposes of the Tax Act, and shall therein agree to elect in respect of the
Purchased Shares of the Electing Vendor such amount as the Electing Vendor's
proceeds of disposition thereof as the Electing Vendor may determine, subject to
the provisions of subsection 85(1) of the Tax Act (and the corresponding
provisions of any applicable provincial tax legislation). Each of the Electing
Vendors and Exchangeco agree to execute all such documents and forms to make the
election contemplated in this section.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)     Each Vendor, with their professional advisors, have made a bona fide
determination that the Purchased Shares are "qualified small business
corporation shares" as defined in subsection 110.6(1) of the Tax Act as of the
date hereof. Based on such determination, it is the desire and intention of each
of the Vendors and Exchangeco that the "agreed amount" for the transfer of their
respective Purchased Shares (the "Vendor's Shares") be the lesser of the fair
market value of the Vendor's Shares and the aggregate of the Vendor's adjusted
cost base thereof plus an amount equal to the Vendor's unused capital gain
deduction as provided in subsection 110.6(2.1) of the Tax Act. However, it is
agreed between each of the Vendors and Exchangeco that should any competent
taxing authority at any time issue or propose to issue any assessment or
assessments that would impose any liability for tax (other than the alternative
minimum tax provided for in section 127.5 of the Tax Act) on the basis that a
Vendor's Shares are not "qualified small business corporation shares", or that
the capital gain of a Vendor resulting from the within transaction is not
otherwise eligible for the exemption pursuant to subsection 110.6(2.1) of the
Tax Act (or the corresponding provision of any applicable provincial tax
legislation) and if all appeals requested by a Vendor have been exhausted, then
for the purposes of subsection FT(1) of the Tax Act, the "agreed amount" shall
be adjusted nunc pro tunc pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph to be
such amount as will eliminate such liability for tax (except for the alternative
minimum tax as provided for section 127.5 of the Tax Act) and the Vendors and
Exchangeco shall do all things necessary to reflect such change, including
filing amended elections, provided that such adjustment shall not result in any
additional Exchangeable Shares being issued to the Vendors. Any interest and or
penalty imposed shall, as between the Vendors and Exchangeco be for the account
of the Vendors and not Exchangeco.

1.6     Securities Law Exemptions and Resale Restrictions. The sale of the
Purchased Shares and the issuance of the Exchangeable Shares to the Vendors
shall be made in reliance on an exemption from the registration and prospectus
filing requirements contained in section 2.16 of National Instrument 45-106
Prospectus and Registration Exemptions ("NI 45-106"). The issuance or transfer
of the Patch Shares to the Vendors on the exchange of their Exchangeable Shares
shall be made in reliance on section 2.16 of NI 45-106 and the exemption from
the registration requirement of U.S. Securities Law contained in Regulation S
promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Vendors
hereby acknowledge that as a result:

(a)     any Exchangeable Shares that they receive pursuant to this Agreement
will be subject to resale restrictions in accordance with applicable Canadian
Securities Law and U.S. Securities Law and that as a result the certificates
representing such Exchangeable Shares will be affixed with the following legends

(dd)       Documents of Title. To the best of Company's knowledge, Company has
made available to Patch all Documents of Title and other documents and
agreements in its possession affecting the title of Company to its oil and gas

(ee)      Environmental Matters. Except as disclosed in the Disclosed

evaluation report dated November 23, 2006 and effective September 30, 2006
prepared by DeGolyer, evaluating a portion of Company's oil and natural gas
reserves (the "DeGolyer Reserve Report") and, in particular, all material

reasonably presents the quantity and pre-tax present worth value of estimated
future net revenue values of oil and natural gas reserves of Company as at the
Closing Date thereof in respect of reserves information therein based upon
information available in respect of such reserves at the time each such report

Closing Date of the DeGolyer Reserve Report.

(gg)      Tax Matters.

with respect to Taxes or Returns of Company. There is no audit in process,
pending or, to the actual knowledge of Company, threatened by a governmental or
taxing authority relating to the Returns of Company for the last three years.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(v)      Company has withheld from each payment made to any of its present or
former employees, officers and directors, and to all persons who are

withheld amounts within the prescribed periods to the appropriate Government
Authority. Company has remitted all Canada Pension Plan contributions,
unemployment insurance premiums, employer health taxes and other Taxes payable

on its oil and gas assets.

expenditures that Company was committed to incur and renounce under the
applicable subscription agreements for such "flow-through" Company Shares issued
on a "flow-through" basis.

represented by any certificate or certificates delivered to the Trustee are to
be purchased by Patch under the Insolvency Exchange Right, a new certificate for
the balance of such Exchangeable Shares shall be issued to the Shareholder at
the expense of Exchangeco.

for transfer to Patch, Trustee shall notify Patch and Exchangeco of its receipt
of the same, which notice to Patch and Exchangeco shall constitute exercise

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of the Insolvency Exchange Right by the Trustee on behalf of the holder of such
Exchangeable Shares, and Patch shall immediately thereafter upon receipt of such
notice deliver or cause to be delivered to the Shareholder of such Exchangeable
Shares (or to such other persons, if any, properly designated by such
Shareholder), certificates representing the number of Patch Shares deliverable
in connection with the exercise of the Insolvency Exchange Right, which shares
shall be, or shall have been, duly issued as fully paid and non-assessable and
shall be free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance, and cheques for the
balance, if any, of the total purchase price therefor. Patch shall, immediately
upon receipt of such certificates representing the Exchangeable Shares from the
Shareholder, deliver the certificates to the registered office of Exchangeco for
cancellation. Immediately upon the giving of notice by the Trustee to Patch and
Exchangeco of the exercise of the Insolvency Exchange Right, as provided in this
section 4.5, the closing of the transaction of purchase and sale contemplated by
the Insolvency Exchange Right shall be deemed to have occurred, and the holder
of such Exchangeable Shares shall be deemed to have transferred to Patch its
right, title and interest in and to such Exchangeable Shares and the related
interest in the Trust Estate and shall cease to be a holder of such Exchangeable
Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Shareholder
in respect thereof, other than the right to receive the purchase price therefor,
unless the requisite number of Patch Shares (together with a cheque for the
balance, if any, of the total purchase price therefor) is not issued and
delivered by Patch to the Trustee and delivered by the Trustee to such
Shareholder (or to such other persons, if any, properly designated by such
Shareholder), within five (5) Business Days of the date of the giving of such
notice by the Trustee, in which case the rights of the Shareholder shall remain
unaffected until such Patch Shares are so issued and delivered by Patch, as the
case may be, and any such cheque is so delivered and honoured. Concurrently with
such Shareholder ceasing to be a Shareholder of Exchangeable Shares, the
Shareholder shall be considered and deemed for all purposes to be the holder of
Patch Shares delivered to it pursuant to the Insolvency Exchange Right.

4.6      EXERCISE OF INSOLVENCY EXCHANGE RIGHT SUBSEQUENT TO RETRACTION

In the event that a Shareholder has exercised its right under Article 6 of the
Exchangeable Share Provisions to require Exchangeco to redeem any or all of the
Exchangeable Shares held by the Shareholder (the "Retracted Shares") and is
notified by Exchangeco pursuant to section 6.6 of the Exchangeable Share
Provisions that Exchangeco will not be permitted as a result of solvency
requirements of applicable law to redeem all such Retracted Shares, and provided
that Patch shall not have exercised the Retraction Call Right with respect to
the Retracted Shares and that the Shareholder has not revoked the retraction
request delivered by the Shareholder to Exchangeco pursuant to section 6.1 of
the Exchangeable Share Provisions, the retraction request will constitute and
will be deemed to constitute notice from the Shareholder to the Trustee
instructing the Trustee to exercise the Insolvency Exchange Right with respect
to those Retracted Shares which Exchangeco is unable to redeem. In any such
event, Exchangeco hereby agrees with the Trustee and in favour of the
Shareholder promptly to forward or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee all
relevant materials delivered by the Shareholder to Exchangeco (including without
limitation a copy of the retraction request delivered pursuant to section 6.1 of
the Exchangeable Share Provisions) in connection with such proposed redemption
of the Retracted Shares and the Trustee will thereupon exercise the Insolvency
Exchange Right with respect to the Retracted Shares that Exchangeco is not
permitted to redeem and will require Patch to purchase such shares in accordance
with the provisions of this Article 4.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.7      STAMP OR OTHER TRANSFER TAXES

Exchange Right or the Automatic Exchange Rights, the share certificate or
certificates representing Patch Shares to be delivered in connection with the
payment of the total purchase price therefor shall be issued in the name of, or
transferred to, the Shareholder of the Exchangeable Shares so sold without
charge to the Shareholder of the Exchangeable Shares so sold; provided, however
that such Shareholder: (i) shall pay (and none of Patch, Exchangeco nor the
Trustee shall be required to pay) any documentary, stamp, transfer or other

issuance or delivery of such shares to a person other than such Shareholder; or
(ii) shall have established to the satisfaction of the Trustee, Patch and
Exchangeco that such taxes, if any, have been paid.

the Shareholders with respect to the Insolvency Exchange Right.

have occurred, and each Shareholder shall be deemed to have transferred to Patch
all of the Shareholder's right, title and interest in and to its Exchangeable
Shares and the related interest in the Trust Estate and shall cease to be a
Shareholder of such Exchangeable Shares and Patch shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Shareholder Patch Shares deliverable upon the automatic

Shareholder a cheque for the balance, if any, of the total purchase price for
such Exchangeable Shares. Concurrently with such Shareholder ceasing to be a
Shareholder, the Shareholder shall be considered and deemed for all purposes to

Patch and the Trustee shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the

withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the United States
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the "Code"), the Income Tax Act
(Canada) or any provision of state, local, provincial or foreign tax law. To the
extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for
all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Shareholder of the
shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided
that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing
authority. To the extent that the amount so required or permitted to be deducted
or withheld from any payment to a Shareholder exceeds the cash portion of the
consideration otherwise payable to the Shareholder, Patch or the Trustee is
hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of at fair market value such
portion of the consideration as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to
Patch or the Trustee, as the case may be, in order to enable it to comply with

Canadian tax returns. The Shareholders may obtain the advice and assistance of
such experts as they may consider necessary or advisable.

authorities vested in it by this Agreement at the request, order or direction of
any Shareholder upon such Shareholder furnishing to the Trustee reasonable

incurred by the Trustee therein or thereby, provided that no Shareholder shall
be obligated to furnish to the Trustee any such security or indemnity in
connection with the exercise by the Trustee of any of its rights, duties, powers
and authorities with respect to the voting of the Trust Shares pursuant to
Article 3 and with respect to the Insolvency Exchange Right and Automatic
Exchange Rights pursuant to Article 4.

Article 8
INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

8.1      INDEMNIFICATION OF THE TRUSTEE

Patch and Exchangeco jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless
the Trustee and each of its directors, officers, partners, employees and agents
appointed and acting in accordance with this Agreement (collectively, the
"Indemnified Parties") against all claims, losses, damages, reasonable costs,
penalties, fines and reasonable expenses (including reasonable expenses of the
Trustee's legal counsel) which, without fraud, negligence, recklessness, wilful
misconduct or bad faith on the part of such Indemnified Party, may be paid,
incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Party by reason of or as a result of the
Trustee's acceptance or administration of the Trust, its compliance with its
duties set forth in this Agreement, or any written or oral instructions
delivered to the Trustee by Patch or Exchangeco pursuant hereto. Subject to
(ii), below, Patch and Exchangeco shall be entitled to participate at their own
expense in the defence and, if Patch and Exchangeco so elect at any time after
receipt of such notice, either of them may assume the defence of any suit
brought to enforce any such claim. In the event Patch and/or Exchangeco assume
the defence of the Trustee, no settlement of any claim shall be entered into
without the prior approval of the Trustee; and the Trustee shall have the right
to re-assume the defence of any suit if Patch or Exchangeco fail to actively
continue such defence so assumed. The Trustee shall have the right to employ
separate counsel in any such suit and participate in the defence thereof but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Trustee unless:
(i) the employment of such counsel has been authorized by Patch or Exchangeco;
or (ii) the named parties to any such suit include both the Trustee and Patch or
Exchangeco, and the Trustee shall have been advised by counsel acceptable to
Patch or Exchangeco that there may be one or more legal defences available to
the Trustee which are different from or in addition to those available to Patch
or Exchangeco and that in the judgment of such counsel, would present a conflict
of interest were a joint representation to be undertaken (in which case
Exchangeco and Patch shall not have the right to assume the defence of such suit
on behalf of the Trustee but shall be liable to pay the reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel for the Trustee) . Neither Patch nor Exchangeco shall be
liable for any settlement of a matter in respect of which an Indemnified Party
may seek indemnification under this section 9.1, unless Patch and Exchangeco
have consented in writing to such settlement.

8.2      LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

The Trustee shall not be liable for any act or omission by it except where such
act or omission occurs as a result of the Trustee's fraud, negligence,
recklessness, bad faith or wilful misconduct. The Trustee shall not be liable
for any losses or damages due to the acts or omissions of third parties,
including without limitation, the failure by Patch and/or Exchangeco to comply
with its obligations under this Agreement, as the case may be. The Trustee shall
not be held liable for any loss which may occur by reason of depreciation of the
value of any part of the Trust Estate or any loss incurred on any investment of
funds pursuant to this Agreement except to the extent that such loss is
attributable to the fraud, negligence, recklessness, wilful misconduct or bad
faith on the part of the Trustee.

successor Trustee and the acceptance of such appointment by the successor
Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, Patch and Exchangeco shall

the removal of the Trustee shall be appointed in accordance with the provisions
as provided under section 10.3 of this Agreement.

9.3      SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE

Any successor Trustee appointed as provided under this Agreement shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Patch and Exchangeco and to its predecessor Trustee
an instrument accepting such appointment. Thereupon the resignation or removal
of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement
with like effect as if originally named as Trustee in this Agreement. However,
on the written request of Patch and Exchangeco or of the successor Trustee, the
Trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant
to the provisions of this Agreement, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor Trustee all of the rights and powers of the
Trustee so ceasing to act. Upon the request of any such successor Trustee, Patch
and Exchangeco and such predecessor Trustee shall execute any and all
instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to
such successor Trustee all such rights and powers.

9.4      NOTICE OF SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided herein Patch
and Exchangeco shall cause to be mailed notice of the succession of such Trustee
hereunder to each Shareholder at the address of such Shareholder shown on the

Article 2
COVENANTS OF PATCH AND EXCHANGECO

2.1 Covenants Regarding Exchangeable Shares

So long as any Exchangeable Shares not owned by Patch or its Affiliates are
outstanding, Patch shall:

(a) not declare or pay any dividend on Patch Shares unless (i) Exchangeco shall
simultaneously declare or pay, as the case may be, an equivalent dividend (as
provided for in the Share Provisions) on the Exchangeable Shares, and (ii)
Exchangeco shall have sufficient money or other assets or authorized but
unissued securities available to enable the due declaration and the due and
punctual payment, in accordance with the applicable law, of any such dividend on
the Exchangeable Shares:

(b) advise Exchangeco sufficiently in advance of the declaration by Patch of any
dividend on Patch Shares and take all such other actions, including payment or
transfer of monies, as are necessary, in co-operation with Exchangeco, to ensure
that the respective declaration date, record date and payment date for a
dividend on the Exchangeable Shares shall be the same as the declaration date,
record date and payment date for the corresponding dividend on Patch Shares;

(c) ensure that the record date for any dividend declared on Patch Shares is not
less than ten (10) Business Days after the declaration date of such dividend;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d) take all such actions, including payment or transfer of monies, and do all
such things as are reasonably necessary or desirable to enable and permit
Exchangeco, in accordance with applicable law, to pay and otherwise perform its
obligations with respect to the satisfaction of the Liquidation Amount, the
Retraction Price or the Redemption Price in respect of each issued and
outstanding Exchangeable Share upon a Liquidation Distribution, the delivery of
a Retraction Request by a holder of Exchangeable Shares or a redemption of
Exchangeable Shares by Exchangeco, as the case may be, including, without
limitation, all such actions and all such things as are necessary or desirable
to enable and permit Exchangeco to instruct the Trustee to cause the Patch
Shares to be delivered directly to the holders of Exchangeable Shares by the
Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 5, 6 or 7, as the case may
be, of the Share Provisions;

(e) take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable
to enable and permit it, in accordance with applicable law, to perform its
obligations arising upon the exercise by it of the Liquidation Call Right, the
Retraction Call Right or the Redemption Call Right including, without
limitation, all such actions and all such things as are necessary or desirable
to enable, permit and instruct Exchangeco to cause the Patch Shares to be
delivered to the holders of Exchangeable Shares in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8 of the Share Provisions; and

(f) not exercise its vote as a direct or indirect shareholder to initiate the
voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Exchangeco nor take any
action or omit to take any action that is designed to result in the liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of Exchangeco.

2.2 Segregation of Funds

Patch will cause Exchangeco (and shall fund Exchangeco to the extent necessary)
to deposit a sufficient amount of funds in a separate account of Exchangeco and
segregate a sufficient amount of such other assets and property as is necessary
to enable Exchangeco to pay dividends when due and to pay or otherwise satisfy
its respective obligations under Sections 5, 6 or 7 of the Share Provisions, as
applicable, and Exchangeco will use such funds or other assets exclusively to
pay such dividends or satisfy its obligations under Sections 3, 5, 6 or 7 of the
Share Provisions.

2.3 Notification of Certain Events

In order to assist and permit Patch to exercise the Liquidation Call Right,
Retraction Call Right and Redemption Call Right, Exchangeco will notify Patch of
each of the following events at the time set forth below:

(a) in the event of any determination by the Board of Directors of Exchangeco to
institute voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up proceedings with
respect to Exchangeco or to effect any other distribution of the assets of
Exchangeco among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, at
least sixty (60) days prior to the proposed effective date of such liquidation,
dissolution, winding-up or other distribution;

(b) promptly, upon the earlier of receipt by Exchangeco of notice of and
Exchangeco otherwise becoming aware of any threatened or instituted claim, suit,
petition or other proceedings with respect to the involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of Exchangeco or to effect any other distribution of
the assets of Exchangeco among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up
its affairs;

(c) immediately, upon receipt by Exchangeco of a Retraction Request;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d) on the same date on which notice of redemption is given to holders of
Exchangeable Shares, upon the determination of a Redemption Date in accordance
with the Share Provisions; and

(e) as soon as practicable upon the issuance by Exchangeco of any Exchangeable
Shares or rights to acquire Exchangeable Shares.

2.4 Delivery of Patch Shares

Upon any event that requires Exchangeco to deliver Patch Shares to any holder of
Exchangeable Shares, and subject to Patch's exercise of the Liquidation Call
Right, the Retraction Call Right or the Redemption Call Right, Exchangeco shall
forthwith cause to be delivered the requisite number of Patch Shares to be
received by, and transferred to or to the order of, the former holder of the
surrendered Exchangeable Shares, as the respective Vendors shall direct. All
such Patch Shares shall have been duly authorized and validly issued as fully
paid and non-assessable and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim or
encumbrance except with respect to restrictions and legends required for
purposes of compliance with U.S. federal securities laws.

2.5 Qualification of Patch Shares

If any Patch Shares (or other shares or securities into which Patch Shares may
be reclassified or changed as contemplated by section 2.7 hereof) to be issued
or transferred and delivered hereunder require registration or qualification
with or approval of or the filing of any document, including any prospectus or
similar document or the taking of any proceeding with or the obtaining of any
order, ruling or consent from any governmental or regulatory authority under any
Canadian or United States federal, provincial or state securities or other law
or regulation or pursuant to the rules and regulations of any securities or
other regulatory authority or the fulfillment of any other United States or
Canadian legal requirement before such shares (or such other shares or
securities) may be issued by Patch or delivered by the Trustee at the direction
of Patch or Exchangeco to the holder of surrendered Exchangeable Shares, Patch
will in good faith expeditiously take all such actions and do all such things as
are necessary or desirable to cause such Patch Shares (or such other shares or
securities) to be and remain duly registered, qualified or approved under United
States and/or Canadian law, as the case may be. Patch will in good faith
expeditiously take all such actions and do all such things as are reasonably
necessary or desirable to cause all Patch Shares (or such other shares or
securities) to be delivered hereunder to be listed, quoted or posted for trading
on all stock exchanges and quotation systems on which outstanding Patch Shares
(or such other shares or securities) have been listed by Patch and remain listed
and are quoted or posted for trading at such time. For clarity, this Section 2.6
shall not operate to require Patch or Exchangeco to prepare and file any
prospectus or similar document or take any proceeding or obtain any order,
ruling or consent from any governmental or regulatory authority in order to
permit the subsequent resale of the Exchangeable Shares or the Trust Shares.

2.6 Economic Equivalence

(a) Patch will not without the prior approval of Exchangeco and the prior
approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with
Section 11 of the Share Provisions:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(i) issue or distribute Patch Shares (or securities exchangeable for or
convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Patch Shares) to the holders of
all or substantially all of the then outstanding Patch Shares by way of stock
dividend or other distribution, other than an issue of Patch Shares (or
securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire
Patch Shares) to holders of Patch Shares who exercise an option to receive
dividends in Patch Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or
carrying rights to acquire Patch Shares) in lieu of receiving cash dividends; or

(ii) issue or distribute rights, options or warrants to the holders of all or
substantially all of the then outstanding Patch Shares entitling them to
subscribe for or to purchase Patch Shares (or securities exchangeable for or
convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Patch Shares); or

(iii) issue or distribute to the holders of all or substantially all of the then
outstanding Patch Shares (A) shares or securities of Patch of any class other
than Patch Shares (other than shares convertible into or exchangeable for or
carrying rights to acquire Patch Shares), (B) rights, options or warrants other
than those referred to in section 2.7(a) (ii) above, (C) evidences of
indebtedness of Patch, or (D) assets of Patch;

unless (a) Patch is permitted under applicable law to undertake an action
described in items (i), (ii) or (iii) above; and (b) the same or an economic
equivalent change on a per share basis shall simultaneously be made to or in the
rights of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares; provided that, for greater
certainty, the above restrictions shall not apply to any securities issued or
distributed by Patch in order to give effect to and to consummate the
transactions contemplated by, and in accordance with, the Share Exchange
Agreement, or as otherwise permitted by the parties to the Share Exchange
Agreement.

(b) Patch will not without the prior approval of Exchangeco and the prior
approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with
Section 11 of the Share Provisions:

(i) subdivide, redivide or change the then outstanding Patch Shares into a
greater number of Patch Shares;

(ii) reduce, combine, consolidate or change the then outstanding Patch Shares
into a lesser number of Patch Shares; or

(iii) reclassify or otherwise change Patch Shares or effect an amalgamation,
merger, reorganization or other transaction affecting Patch Shares,

unless (a) Patch is permitted under applicable law to undertake an action
described in items (i), (ii) or (iii) above; and (b) the same or an economically
equivalent change shall simultaneously be made to, or in the rights of the
holders of, the Exchangeable Shares.

(c) Patch will ensure that the record date for any event referred to in section
2.7(a) or 2.7 (b) above, (or, if no record date is applicable for such event),
the effective date for any such event, is not less than ten (10) Business Days
after the date on which such event is declared or announced by Patch (with
contemporaneous notification thereof by Patch to Exchangeco)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d) The Board of Directors of Exchangeco shall determine, in good faith and in
its sole discretion acting reasonably (with the assistance of such reputable and
qualified independent financial advisors and/or other experts as the Board of
Directors may determine necessary or desirable), economic equivalence for the
purposes of any event referred to in section 2.7(a) or 2.7(b) above and each
such determination shall be conclusive and binding on Patch. In making each such
determination, the following factors shall, without excluding other factors
determined by the Board of Directors to be relevant, be considered by the Board
of Directors:

(i) in the case of any stock dividend or other distribution payable in Patch
Shares, the number of such shares issued in proportion to the number of Patch
Shares previously outstanding;

(ii) in the case of the issuance or distribution of any rights, options or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase Patch Shares (or securities exchangeable
for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Patch Shares), the
relationship between the exercise price of each such right, option or warrant
and the Current Market Price;

(iii) in the case of the issuance or distribution of any other form of property
(including, without limitation, any shares or securities of Patch of any class
other than Patch Shares), any rights, options or warrants other than those
referred to in section 2.7(d) (ii) above, any evidences of indebtedness of Patch
or any assets of Patch, the relationship between the fair market value (as
determined by the Board of Directors in good faith acting reasonably) of such
property to be issued or distributed with respect to each outstanding Patch
Share and the Current Market Price;

(iv) in the case of any subdivision, redivision or change of the then
outstanding Patch Shares into a greater number of Patch Shares or the reduction,
combination, consolidation or change of the then outstanding Patch Shares into a
lesser number of Patch Shares or any amalgamation, merger, reorganization or
other transaction affecting Patch Shares, the effect thereof upon the then
outstanding Patch Shares; and

(v) in all such cases, the general taxation consequences of the relevant event
to holders of Exchangeable Shares to the extent that such consequences may
differ from the taxation consequences to holders of Patch Shares as a result of
differences between taxation laws of Canada and the United States (except for
any differing consequences arising as a result of differing marginal taxation
rates and without regard to the individual circumstances of holders of
Exchangeable Shares).

(e) Exchangeco agrees that, to the extent required, upon due notice from Patch,
Exchangeco will use its best efforts to take or cause to be taken such steps as
may be necessary for the purposes of ensuring that appropriate dividends are
paid or other distributions are made by Exchangeco, or subdivisions, redivisions
or changes are made to the Exchangeable Shares, in order to implement the
required economic equivalent with respect to Patch Shares and the Exchangeable
Shares as provided for in this section 2.7.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.7 Tender Offers

In the event that a tender offer, share exchange offer, issuer bid, take-over
bid or similar transaction with respect to Patch Shares (an "Offer") is proposed
by Patch or is proposed to Patch or its shareholders and is recommended by the
Board of Directors of Patch, or is otherwise effected or to be effected with the
consent or approval of the Board of Directors of Patch, and the Exchangeable
Shares are not redeemed by Exchangeco or purchased by Patch as contemplated by
and in compliance with the Share Provisions, then Patch will use its reasonable
efforts expeditiously and in good faith to take all such actions and do all such
things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit holders of the
Exchangeable Shares to participate in such Offer to the same extent and on an
economically equivalent basis as the holders of Patch Shares, without
discrimination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Patch will use
its reasonable efforts expeditiously and in good faith (in the case of a
transaction by Patch or where Patch is a participant in the negotiation thereof)
to ensure that holders of the Exchangeable Shares may participate in all such
Offers without being required to retract the Exchangeable Shares as against
Exchangeco (or, if so required, to ensure that any such retraction, shall be
effective only upon, and shall be conditional upon, the closing of the Offer and
only to the extent necessary to tender or deposit to the Offer). Nothing herein
shall affect the rights of Exchangeco under the Share Provisions to redeem (or
Patch to purchase pursuant to the Redemption Call Right) the Exchangeable
Shares, in the event of a Patch Control Transaction.

2.8 Ownership of Voting Outstanding Shares of Exchangeco

Unless otherwise agreed to by Exchangeco and unless the holders of the
Exchangeable Shares have given their consent in accordance with Section 11 of
the Share Provisions, Patch covenants and agrees in favour of Exchangeco that,
as long as any of the Exchangeable Shares outstanding are owned by any person or
entity other than Patch or any of its Affiliates, Patch will be and shall remain
the direct or indirect beneficial owner of all issued and outstanding voting
shares in the capital of Exchangeco.

2.9 Patch and Affiliates Not to Vote Exchangeable Shares

Patch covenants and agrees that it will appoint and cause to be appointed proxy
holders with respect to all of the Exchangeable Shares held by it and its
Affiliates for the sole purpose of attending each meeting of holders of the
Exchangeable Shares in order to be counted as part of the quorum for each such
meeting. Patch further covenants and agrees that it will not, and will cause its
Affiliates not to, exercise any voting rights which may be exercisable by
holders of the Exchangeable Shares from time to time pursuant to the Share
Provisions or pursuant to the provisions of the Act (or any successor or other
statute by which Exchangeco may in the future be governed) with respect to any
of the Exchangeable Shares held by it or by its Affiliates in respect of any
matter considered at any meeting of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares.

2.10 Rule 10b-18 Purchases

For certainty, nothing contained in this Agreement, including without limitation
the obligations of Patch contained in section 2.8 hereof, shall limit the
ability of Patch or Exchangeco to make a "Rule l0b-18 Purchase" of Common Shares
pursuant to Rule 10b-18 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
or any successor provisions thereof.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.11 Special Patch Representations and Covenants

(a) Each of Patch and Exchangeco, jointly and severally, represent to the other
such party and all other third party beneficiaries of this Agreement, that (i)
the authorized capital of Exchangeco as of the date hereof is as set forth on
Annex A attached hereto and no change has been made or occurred with respect to
such authorized capital prior to closing of this Agreement; (ii) immediately
prior to issuance of the Exchangeable Shares, Exchangeco has no issued or
outstanding capital stock other than the Common Shares, all of which are owned
by Patch; (iii) there are no Claims pending or threatened against Patch or
Exchangeco in regard to any prior transaction or any other matters; and (iv)
there are no continuing, residual or future obligations required to be
maintained or performed by Exchangeco with respect to any prior shareholders of
Exchangeco or any prior transaction other than in regard to Patch in its
capacity as the sole holder of all Common Shares of Exchangeco.

(b) Patch undertakes, covenants and agrees that unless and until the first
business day immediately following exchange of all of the Exchangeable Shares:
(i) Patch shall be and remain the sole holder of record and beneficial owner of
the Common Shares of Exchangeco; and (ii) Patch shall be and remain in sole
control of Exchangeco.

(c) Each of Patch and Exchangeco covenant and agree that Exchangeco will not be
used for any future transaction, or carry on any business, unless and until all
Exchangeable Shares have been exchanged and/or the rights of the holders of the
Exchangeable Shares have otherwise terminated in accordance with the Share
Provisions.

Article 3
PATCH SUCCESSORS

3.1 Certain Requirements in Respect of Combination, etc.

Except as contemplated in the Share Exchange Agreement, Patch shall not
consummate any transaction (whether by way of reconstruction, reorganization,
consolidation, merger, transfer, sale, lease or otherwise) whereby all or
substantially all of its undertaking, property and assets would become the
property of any other person or, in the case of a merger, of the continuing

DIVIDENDS

7.1 The Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, on each Patch
Dividend Declaration Date, declare a dividend on each Exchangeable Share as
follows:

(a) in the case of a cash dividend declared on the Patch Shares, a cash dividend
in U.S. dollars, or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the Patch
Dividend Declaration Date, equal to the cash dividend declared on each Patch
Share;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(b) in the case of a stock dividend or other distribution declared on the Patch
Shares to be paid in Patch Shares, a stock dividend of such number of
Exchangeable Shares for each Exchangeable Share as is equal to the number of
Patch Shares to be paid on each Patch Share;

(c) in the case of a dividend declared on the Patch Shares in property other
than cash or Patch Shares, a dividend in such type and amount of property for
each Exchangeable Share as is the same as or economically equivalent to the type
and amount of property declared as a dividend on each Patch Share (to be
determined by the Board of Directors as contemplated by section 7.5 hereof).
Such dividends shall be paid out of money, assets or property of Exchangeco
properly applicable to the payment of dividends, or out of authorized but
unissued Exchangeable Shares of Exchangeco, as applicable.

7.2 Cheques of Exchangeco payable at par at any branch of the bankers of
Exchangeco shall be issued in respect of any cash dividends contemplated by
section 7.1(a) hereof and the sending of such a cheque to each holder of an
Exchangeable Share shall satisfy the cash dividend represented thereby unless

number of Exchangeable Shares registered in the name of the registered holder of
Exchangeable Shares shall be issued or transferred in respect of any stock
dividends contemplated in section 7.1(b) hereof and the sending of such a

dividend represented thereby. Such other type and amount of property in respect
of any dividends contemplated by section 7.1(c) hereof shall be issued,
distributed or transferred by Exchangeco in such manner as it shall determine
and the issuance, distribution or transfer thereof by Exchangeco to each holder
of an Exchangeable Share shall satisfy the dividend represented thereby. No
holder of an Exchangeable Share shall be entitled to recover by action or other
legal process against Exchangeco any dividend that is represented by a cheque
that has not been duly presented to Exchangeco's bankers for payment or that
otherwise remains unclaimed for a period of six years from the date on which
such dividend was payable.

7.3 The record date for the determination of the holders of Exchangeable Shares
entitled to receive payment of, and the payment date for, any dividend declared
on the Exchangeable Shares under section 7.1 hereof shall be the same dates as
the record date and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding dividend
declared on the Patch Shares.

7.4 If on any payment date for any dividends declared on the Exchangeable Shares
under section 7.1 hereof the dividends are not paid in full on all of the
Exchangeable Shares then outstanding, any such dividends that remain unpaid
shall be paid on a subsequent date or dates determined by the Board of Directors
on which Exchangeco shall have sufficient moneys, assets or property properly
applicable to the payment of such dividends.

7.5 The Board of Directors shall determine, in good faith and in its sole
discretion, acting reasonably (with the assistance of such reputable and
qualified independent financial advisors and/or other experts as the Board of
Directors may determine necessary or desirable) economic equivalence for the
purposes of section 7.1(c) hereof, and each such determination shall be
conclusive and binding on Exchangeco and its shareholders absent manifest error.
In making each such determination, the following factors shall, without
excluding other factors determined by the Board of Directors to be relevant, be
considered by the Board of Directors, and shall be acted upon in accordance with
the provisions herewith:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(a) in the case of the issuance or distribution of any rights, options or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase Patch Shares (or securities exchangeable
for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Patch Shares), the
relationship between the exercise price of each such right, option or warrant
and the Current Market Price;

(b) in the case of the issuance or distribution of any other form of property
(including, without limitation, any shares or securities of Patch of any class
other than Patch Shares, any rights, options or warrants other than those
referred to in section 7.5(a) above, any evidences of indebtedness of Patch or
any assets of Patch), the relationship between the fair market value (as
determined by the Board of Directors in good faith acting reasonably) of such
property to be issued or distributed with respect to each outstanding Patch
Share and the Current Market Price; and

(c) in all such cases, the general taxation consequences of the relevant event
to holders of Exchangeable Shares to the extent that such consequences may
differ from the taxation consequences to holders of Patch Shares as a result of
differences between taxation laws of Canada and the United States of America
(except for any differing consequences arising as a result of differing marginal
taxation rates and without regard to the individual circumstances of holders of
Exchangeable Shares)

Article 8

CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS

8.1 So long as any of the Exchangeable Shares are outstanding, Exchangeco shall
not at any time without the approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares
given as specified in section 15.2 of these Share Provisions:

such other shares, as the case may be;

Shares or any shares other than the Exchangeable Shares;

(c) redeem or purchase any shares of Exchangeco other than the Exchangeable
Shares; or

DISTRIBUTION ON LIQUIDATION

9.1 In the event of a Liquidation Distribution, a holder of Exchangeable Shares
shall be entitled, subject to applicable law, to receive from the assets of
Exchangeco in respect of each Exchangeable Share held by such holder on the
effective date (the "Liquidation Date") to the Liquidation Distribution, before
any distribution of any part of the assets of Exchangeco among the holders of
the Common Shares or any other shares of Exchangeco, an amount per Exchangeable
Share (the "Liquidation Amount") equal to (i) the Current Market Price of a
Patch Share on the last Business Day prior to the Liquidation Date (which may be
satisfied in full by Exchangeco causing Patch to deliver, in respect of each
Exchangeable Share held by each respective holder thereof, one Patch Share),
plus (ii) the Unpaid Dividend Amount, if any, on any Exchangeable Share held by
such holder on any dividend record date which occurred prior to the Liquidation
Date.

9.2 Patch and Exchangeco shall notify all holders of the Exchangeable Shares, of
any proposed liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Exchangeco, at least 60
days before the Liquidation Date in the case of a voluntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of Exchangeco, and promptly upon receiving notice of
or becoming aware of any claim, suit, petition or other proceeding with respect
to an involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Exchangeco.

9.3 On or promptly after the Liquidation Date, and subject to the exercise by
Patch of the Liquidation Call Right, Exchangeco shall cause to be delivered to
the holders of the Exchangeable Shares the Liquidation Amount for each such
Exchangeable Share upon presentation and surrender of the certificates
representing such Exchangeable Shares, together with such other documents and
instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares under
the Act and the articles and by-laws of Exchangeco and such additional documents
and instruments as the Trustee and Transfer Agent may reasonably require, at the
registered office of Exchangeco or at any office of the Trustee or Transfer
Agent as may be specified by Exchangeco by notice to the holders of the
Exchangeable Shares. Payment of the total Liquidation Amount for such
Exchangeable Shares shall be made by delivery to each holder, at the address of
the holder recorded in the securities register of Exchangeco for the
Exchangeable Shares or by holding for pick-up by the holder at the registered
office of Exchangeco or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified
by Exchangeco by notice to the holders of Exchangeable Shares, on behalf of
Exchangeco of the certificates representing Patch Shares (which shares shall be
duly issued as fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free and clear of any
lien, claim or encumbrance and a cheque of Exchangeco payable at par at any
branch of the bankers of Exchangeco in respect of the remaining portion, if any,
of the total Liquidation Amount (in each case less any amounts withheld on
account of tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom). On and after the
Liquidation Date, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall cease to be
holders of such Exchangeable Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of
the rights of holders in respect thereof, other than the right to receive their
proportionate part of the total Liquidation Amount, unless payment of the total
Liquidation Amount for such Exchangeable Shares shall not be made upon
presentation and surrender of share certificates in accordance with the
foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of the holders shall remain
unaffected until the total Liquidation Amount has been paid in the manner
hereinbefore provided. Exchangeco shall have the right at any time after the
Liquidation Date to deposit or cause to be deposited the total Liquidation
Amount in

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

respect of the Exchangeable Shares represented by certificates that have not at
the Liquidation Date been surrendered by the holders thereof in a custodial
account with any chartered bank or trust company in Canada less any amounts
withheld on account of tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom. Upon
such deposit being made, the rights of the holders of Exchangeable Shares after
such deposit shall be limited to receiving their proportionate part of the total
Liquidation Amount (in each case less such amounts withheld on account of tax
required to be deducted and withheld therefrom) for such Exchangeable Shares so
deposited, against presentation and surrender of the said certificates held by
them, respectively, in accordance with the foregoing provisions. Upon such
payment or deposit of the total Liquidation Amount, the holders of the
Exchangeable Shares shall hereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to
be holders of the Patch Shares delivered to them or the custodian on their
behalf.

9.4 After Exchangeco has satisfied its obligations to pay the holders of the
Exchangeable Shares the Liquidation Amount per Exchangeable Share pursuant to
section 9.1 of these Share Provisions, such holders shall not be entitled to
share in any further distribution of the assets of Exchangeco.

Article 10

all of the Exchangeable Shares registered in the name of such holder for an
amount per Exchangeable Share (the "Retraction Price") equal to (i) the Current
Market Price of a Patch Share on the last Business Day prior to the Retraction

such holder, one Patch Share for each Exchangeable Share presented and
surrendered by the holder), plus (ii) the Unpaid Dividend Amount, if any, on any
such Exchangeable Share held by such holder on any dividend record date which
occurred prior to the Retraction Date. To effect such redemption, the holder

notice to the holders of Exchangeable Shares the certificate or certificates
representing the Exchangeable Shares which the holder desires to have Exchangeco
redeem, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to
effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares under the Act and the articles and
by-laws of Exchangeco and such additional documents and instruments as the
Trustee and Transfer Agent may reasonably require, and together with a duly
executed statement (the "Retraction Request") in the form attached hereto as
Appendix 1, or in such other form as may be acceptable to Exchangeco:

(a) specifying that the holder desires to have all or any number specified
therein of the Exchangeable Shares represented by such certificate or
certificates (the "Retracted Shares") redeemed by Exchangeco;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) stating the Business Day on which the holder desires to have Exchangeco
redeem the Retracted Shares (the "Retraction Date"), provided that the
Retraction Date shall be not less than 10 Business Days nor more than 15

Exchangeco and further provided that, in the event that no such Business Day is
specified by the holder in the Retraction Request, the Retraction Date shall be
deemed to be the 15th Business Day after the date on which the Retraction
Request is delivered to Exchangeco; and

(c) acknowledging the overriding right of Patch (the "Retraction Call Right") to
purchase all but not less than all the Retracted Shares directly from the
holder, and that the Retraction Request shall be deemed to be a revocable offer
by the holder to sell the Retracted Shares to Patch in accordance with the
Retraction Call Right on the terms and conditions set out in section 6.3 hereof.

10.2 Subject to the exercise of the Retraction Call Right by Patch, upon receipt
by Exchangeco or the Trustee or Transfer Agent in the manner specified in
section 10.1 hereof of a certificate or certificates representing the number of
Exchangeable Shares which the holder desires to have Exchangeco redeem, together
with a Retraction Request, and provided that the Retraction Request is not
revoked by the holder in the manner specified in section 10.7 hereof, Exchangeco
shall redeem the Retracted Shares effective at the close of business (Calgary
time) on the Retraction Date and shall cause to be delivered to such holder the
total Retraction Price with respect to such shares, provided that all declared
and unpaid dividends for which the record date has occurred prior to the
Retraction Date shall be paid on the payment date for such dividends, less any
amounts withheld on account of tax required to be deducted and withheld
therefrom. If only a part of the Exchangeable Shares represented by any
certificate is redeemed, a new certificate for the balance of such Exchangeable
Shares shall be issued to the holder at the expense of Exchangeco.

10.3 Upon receipt by Exchangeco of a Retraction Request, Exchangeco shall
immediately provide notice thereof to Patch. In order to exercise the Retraction
Call Right, Patch must notify Exchangeco of its determination to do so (the
"Patch Call Notice") within five (5) Business Days of notification to Patch by
Exchangeco of the receipt by Exchangeco of the Retraction Request. If Patch does
not so notify Exchangeco within such five Business Day period, Exchangeco will
notify the holder as soon as possible thereafter that Patch will not exercise
the Retraction Call Right. If Patch delivers the Patch Call Notice within such
five Business Day period, and provided that the Retraction Request is not
revoked by the holder in the manner specified in section 10.7, the Retraction
Request shall thereupon be deemed to be an offer by the holder to sell the
Retracted Shares to Patch in accordance with the Retraction Call Right. In such
event, Exchangeco shall not redeem the Retracted Shares and Patch shall purchase
from such holder and such holder shall sell to Patch on the Retraction Date the
Retracted Shares for an amount per Retracted Share (the "Purchase Price") equal
to (i) the Current Market Price of a Patch Share on the last Business Day prior
to the Retraction Date (which may be satisfied in full by Patch instructing the
Transfer Agent to deliver to such holder one Patch Share for each Exchangeable
Share presented and surrendered by the holder), plus (ii) the Unpaid Dividend
Amount, if any, on those Retracted Shares held by such holder on any dividend
record date which occurred prior to the Retraction Date. For the purposes of
completing a purchase pursuant to the Retraction Call Right, in addition to
Patch giving instructions to the Transfer Agent, Patch shall deposit with the
Transfer Agent a cheque or cheques of Patch payable at par at any branch of the
bankers of Patch

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

representing the Unpaid Dividend Amount, if any, less any amounts withheld on
account of tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom. Provided that
Patch has complied with the immediately preceding sentence, the closing of the
purchase and sale of the Retracted Shares pursuant to the Retraction Call Right
shall be deemed to have occurred as at the close of business on the Retraction
Date and, for greater certainty, no redemption by Exchangeco of such Retracted
Shares shall take place on the Retraction Date. In the event that Patch does not
deliver a Patch Call Notice within such five Business Day period, and provided
that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified
in section 10.7 hereof, Exchangeco shall redeem the Retracted Shares on the
Retraction Date and in the manner otherwise contemplated in this Article 10.

10.4 Pursuant to exercise of the Patch Call Notice, Patch shall instruct the
Transfer Agent to deliver, to the relevant holder, at the address of the holder
recorded in the securities register of Exchangeco for the Exchangeable Shares or
at the address specified in the holder's Retraction Request or by holding for
pick-up by the holder at the registered office of Exchangeco or at any office of
the Trustee or Transfer Agent as may be specified by Exchangeco by notice to the
holders of Exchangeable Shares, certificates representing the Patch Shares
(which shares shall be duly issued as fully paid and non-assessable and shall be
free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance) registered in the name of the
holder or in such other name as the holder may request, and, if applicable and
on or before the payment date therefor, a cheque payable at par at any branch of
the bankers of Exchangeco or Patch, as applicable, representing the aggregate
Unpaid Dividend Amount, if any, in payment of the total Retraction Price or the
total Purchase Price, as the case may be, in each case less any amounts withheld
on account of tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom, and such
delivery of such certificates by the Transfer Agent and cheques on behalf of
Patch shall be deemed to be payment of and shall satisfy and discharge all
liability for the total Retraction Price or the total Purchase Price, as the
case may be, to the extent that the same is represented by such share
certificates and cheques (plus any tax deducted and withheld therefrom).

10.5 On and after the close of business on the Retraction Date, the holder of
the Retracted Shares shall cease to be a holder of such Retracted Shares and
shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder in respect
thereof, other than the right to receive his proportionate part of the total
Retraction Price or the total Purchase Price, as the case may be, unless upon
presentation and surrender of certificates in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, payment of the total Retraction Price or the total Purchase Price,
as the case may be, shall not be made as provided in section 10.4, in which case
the rights of such holder shall remain unaffected until the total Retraction
Price or the total Purchase Price, as the case may be, has been paid in the
manner hereinbefore provided. On and after the close of business on the
Retraction Date, provided that presentation and surrender of certificates and
payment of the total Retraction Price or the total Purchase Price, as the case
may be, has been made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder of
the Retracted Shares so redeemed by Exchangeco shall thereafter be considered
and deemed for all purposes to be a holder of the Patch Shares so delivered.

10.6 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 10, Exchangeco shall
not be obligated to redeem Retracted Shares specified by a holder in a
Retraction Request to the extent that such redemption of Retracted Shares would
be contrary to solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable law. If
Exchangeco believes that on any Retraction Date it would not be permitted by any
of such provisions to redeem the Retracted Shares tendered for redemption on
such date, and provided that Patch shall not have exercised the Retraction Call
Right with respect to the Retracted Shares, Exchangeco shall only be obligated
to redeem Retracted Shares specified by a holder in a Retraction Request to the
extent of the maximum number that may be so redeemed (rounded down to a whole
number of shares) as would not be contrary to such provisions and shall notify
the holder at least two Business Days prior to the Retraction Date as to the
number of Retracted Shares which will not be redeemed by Exchangeco. In any case
in which the redemption by Exchangeco of Retracted Shares would be contrary to
solvency requirements or

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

other provisions of applicable law, Exchangeco shall redeem the maximum number
of Retracted Shares in accordance with section 10.2 of these Share Provisions
which the Board of Directors determine Exchangeco is, on the Retraction Date,
permitted to redeem, on a pro rata basis (disregarding fractions) in proportion
to the total number of Exchangeable Shares tendered for retraction by each
holder thereof, and Exchangeco shall issue to each holder of Retracted Shares a
new certificate, at the expense of Exchangeco, representing the Retracted Shares
not redeemed by Exchangeco pursuant to section 10.2 hereof. Provided that the
Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified in
section 10.7 hereof, the holder of any such Retracted Shares not redeemed by
Exchangeco pursuant to section 10.2 hereof as a result of solvency requirements
or other provisions of applicable law shall be deemed by giving the Retraction
Request to require Patch to purchase such Retracted Shares from such holder on
the Retraction Date or as soon as practicable thereafter on payment by Patch to
such holder of the Purchase Price for such Retracted Shares (the "Exchange
Right"), all as more specifically provided in the Exchange and Voting Trust
Agreement.

10.7 A holder of Retracted Shares may, by notice in writing given by the holder
to Exchangeco before the close of business on the Business Day immediately
preceding the Retraction Date, withdraw the Retraction Request, in which event
such Retraction Request shall be null and void and, for greater certainty, the
revocable offer constituted by the Retraction Request to sell the Retracted
Shares to Exchangeco or Patch, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have been
revoked.

Article 11

REDEMPTION OF EXCHANGEABLE SHARES BY THE CORPORATION

11.1 Subject to applicable law, and provided Patch has not exercised the
Redemption Call Right, Exchangeco shall on the Redemption Date redeem all but
not less than all of the then outstanding Exchangeable Shares for an amount per
Exchangeable Share (the "Redemption Price") equal to (i) the Current Market
Price of a Patch Share on the last Business Day prior to the Redemption Date
(which may be satisfied in full by Exchangeco causing Patch to deliver, in
respect of each Exchangeable Share held by each respective holder thereof, one
Patch Share), plus (ii) the Unpaid Dividend Amount, if any, on each such
Exchangeable Share held by such holder on any dividend record date which
occurred prior to the Redemption Date.

11.2 In any case of a redemption of Exchangeable Shares under this Article 11,
Exchangeco shall send or cause to be sent to each holder of Exchangeable Shares
a notice in writing of the redemption by Exchangeco or the purchase by Patch
under the Redemption Call Right, as the case may be, of the Exchangeable Shares
held by such holder. In the case of a Redemption Date established in connection
with a Patch Control Transaction, an Exchangeable Share Voting Event and an
Exempt Exchangeable Share Voting Event, the written notice of redemption by
Exchangeco or the purchase by Patch under the Redemption Call Right will be sent
on or before the Redemption Date, on as many days prior written notice as may be
determined by the Board of Directors of Exchangeco to be reasonably practicable
in the circumstances, and in all other cases such notice shall be sent at least
60 days before the Redemption Date. In any such case, such notice shall set out
the formula for determining the Redemption Price or the Redemption Call Purchase
Price, as the case may be, the Redemption Date and, if applicable, particulars
of the Redemption Call Right.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

11.3 On or after the Redemption Date and subject to the exercise by Patch of the
Redemption Call Right, Exchangeco shall cause to be delivered to the holders of
the Exchangeable Shares to be redeemed the Redemption Price for each such
Exchangeable Share, upon presentation and surrender at the registered office of
Exchangeco or at any office of the Trustee or Transfer Agent as may be specified
by Exchangeco in such notice of the certificates representing such Exchangeable
Shares, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to
effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares under the Act and the articles and
by-laws of Exchangeco and such additional documents and instruments as the
Trustee or Transfer Agent may reasonably require. Payment of the total
Redemption Price for such Exchangeable Shares shall be made by instruction to
the Transfer Agent to deliver to each holder, at the address of the holder
recorded in the securities register of Exchangeco or by holding for pick-up by
the holder at the registered office of Exchangeco or at any office of the
Transfer Agent as may be specified by Exchangeco in such notice, of certificates
representing Patch Shares (which shares shall be duly issued as fully paid and
non-assessable and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance)
and, if applicable, a cheque of Exchangeco payable at par at any branch of the
bankers of Exchangeco in payment of any such Unpaid Dividend Amount, in each
case, less any amounts withheld on account of tax required to be deducted and
withheld therefrom. On and after the Redemption Date, the holders of the
Exchangeable Shares called for redemption shall cease to be holders of such
Exchangeable Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of
holders in respect thereof, other than the right to receive their proportionate
part of the total Redemption Price, unless payment of the total Redemption Price
for such Exchangeable Shares shall not be made upon presentation and surrender
of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which case the
rights of the holders shall remain unaffected until the total Redemption Price
have been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. Exchangeco shall have the
right at any time after the sending of notice of its intention to redeem the
Exchangeable Shares as aforesaid to deposit or cause to be deposited the total
Redemption Price for the Exchangeable Shares so called for redemption, or of
such of the said Exchangeable Shares represented by certificates that have not
at the date of such deposit been surrendered by the holders thereof in
connection with such redemption, in a custodial account with any chartered bank
or agent named in such notice, less any amounts withheld on account of tax
required to be deducted and withheld therefrom. Upon the later of such deposit
being made and the Redemption Date, the Exchangeable Shares in respect whereof
such deposit shall have been made shall be redeemed and the rights of the
holders thereof after such deposit or Redemption Date, as the case may be, shall
be limited to receiving their proportionate part of the total Redemption Price,
for such Exchangeable Shares so deposited, against presentation and surrender of
the said certificates held by them, respectively, in accordance with the
foregoing provisions. Upon such payment or deposit of the total Redemption
Price, less any amounts withheld on account of tax required to be deducted and
withheld therefrom, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall thereafter be
considered and deemed for all purposes to be holders of the Patch Shares
delivered to them.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Article 12

CERTAIN RIGHTS OF PATCH TO ACQUIRE EXCHANGEABLE SHARES

12.1 Patch Liquidation Call Right:

(a) Patch shall have the overriding right (the "Liquidation Call Right"), in the
event of and notwithstanding the proposed liquidation, dissolution or winding-up
of Exchangeco pursuant to Article 9 of these Share Provisions, to purchase from
all but not less than all of the holders of Exchangeable Shares (other than any
holder of Exchangeable Shares which is an Affiliate of Patch) on the Liquidation
Date all but not less than all of the Exchangeable Shares held by each such
holder on payment by Patch of an amount per Exchangeable Share (the "Liquidation
Call Purchase Price") equal to (i) the Current Market Price of a Patch Share on
the last Business Day prior to the Liquidation Date (which may be satisfied in
full by Patch causing to be delivered to such holder one Patch Share), plus (ii)
the Unpaid Dividend Amount, if any, on each such Exchangeable Share held by such
holder on any dividend record date which occurred prior to the date of purchase
by Patch. In the event of the exercise of the Liquidation Call Right by Patch on
the Liquidation Date on payment by Patch to the holder of the Liquidation Call
Purchase Price for each such share, Exchangeco shall have no obligation to
redeem such shares so purchased by Patch.

(b) To exercise the Liquidation Call Right, Patch must notify the Trustee, the
holders of Exchangeable Shares, and Exchangeco, of Patch's intention to exercise
such right at least 45 days before the Liquidation Date in the case of a
voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Exchangeco and at least five
Business Days before the Liquidation Date in the case of an involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Exchangeco. Exchangeco will notify the
holders of Exchangeable Shares as to whether or not Patch has exercised the
Liquidation Call Right forthwith after the expiry of the period during which the
same may be exercised by Patch. If Patch exercises the Liquidation Call Right,
then on the Liquidation Date Patch will purchase and the holders will sell all
of the Exchangeable Shares then outstanding for a price per share equal to the
Liquidation Call Purchase Price.

(c) For the purposes of completing the purchase of the Exchangeable Shares
pursuant to the Liquidation Call Right, Patch shall ensure that the Transfer
Agent holds, on or before the Liquidation Date, sufficient certificates
representing the aggregate number of Patch Shares deliverable in respect of the
Liquidation Call Right and a cheque or cheques of Patch payable at par at any
branch of the bankers of Patch representing the aggregate Unpaid Dividend Amount
in payment of the Total Liquidation Call Purchase Price, in each case, less any
amounts withheld on account of tax required to be deducted and withheld
therefrom. Provided that Patch has complied with the immediately preceding
sentence, on and after the Liquidation Date the rights of each holder of
Exchangeable Shares will be limited to receiving such holder's proportionate
part of the total Liquidation Call Purchase Price payable by Patch upon
presentation and surrender by the holder of certificates representing the
Exchangeable Shares held by such holder and the holder shall on and after the
Liquidation Date be considered and deemed for all purposes to be the holder of
the Patch Shares to which it is entitled. Upon surrender to the Transfer Agent
of a certificate or certificates representing Exchangeable Shares, together with
such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of
Exchangeable Shares under the Act and the articles and by-laws of Exchangeco and
such additional documents and instruments as the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Transfer Agent may reasonably require, the holder of such surrendered
certificate or certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor,
and the Transfer Agent on behalf of Patch shall deliver to such holder, a cheque
or cheques of Patch payable at par at any branch of the bankers of Patch in
payment of the remaining portion, if any, of the total Liquidation Call Purchase
Price, in each case, less any amounts withheld on account of tax required to be
deducted and withheld therefrom. If Patch does not exercise the Liquidation Call
Right in the manner described above, on the Liquidation Date the holders of the
Exchangeable Shares will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the
liquidation price otherwise payable by Exchangeco in connection with the
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Exchangeco pursuant to Article 9 of
these Share Provisions.

(d) Patch shall at any time be entitled to assign all of its rights in this
section to an Affiliate of Patch provided that such company assumes all of
Patch's obligations under this Section.

12.2 Patch Redemption Call Right.

(a) Patch shall have the overriding right (the "Redemption Call Right"),
notwithstanding the proposed redemption of the Exchangeable Shares by Exchangeco
pursuant to Article 11 of these Share Provisions, to purchase from all but not
less than all of the holders of Exchangeable Shares (other than any holder of
Exchangeable Shares which is an Affiliate of Patch) on the Redemption Date all
but not less than all of the Exchangeable Shares held by each such holder on
payment by Patch to each holder of an amount per Exchangeable Share (the
"Redemption Call Purchase Price") equal to (i) the Current Market Price of a
Patch Share on the last Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, (which may be
satisfied in full by Patch delivering to such holder one Patch Share) plus (ii)
the Unpaid Dividend Amount, if any, on each Exchangeable Share held by such
holder on any dividend record date which occurred prior to the Redemption Date.
In the event of the exercise of the Redemption Call Right by Patch, each holder
shall be obligated to sell all the Exchangeable Shares held by the holder to
Patch on the Redemption Date on payment by Patch to the holder of the Redemption
Call Purchase Price for each such share, and Exchangeco shall have no obligation
to redeem such shares so purchased by Patch.

(b) To exercise the Redemption Call Right, Patch must notify the Trustee, the
Transfer Agent, the holders of Exchangeable Shares, and Exchangeco, of Patch's
intention to exercise such right at least 45 days before the Redemption Date,
except in the case of a redemption occurring as a result of a Patch Control
Transaction, an Exchangeable Share Voting Event or an Exempt Exchangeable Share
Voting Event or such shorter period as may be agreed, in writing, by Exchangeco,
Patch and the holders of the Exchangeable Shares, in which case Patch shall so
notify the Trustee, the Transfer Agent, the holders of Exchangeable Shares and
Exchangeco on or before the Redemption Date. Exchangeco will notify the holders
of Exchangeable Shares as to whether or not Patch has exercised the Redemption
Call Right forthwith after the expiry of the period during which the same may be
exercised by Patch. If Patch exercises the Redemption Call Right, on the
Redemption Date Patch will purchase and the holders will sell all of the
Exchangeable Shares then outstanding for a price per share equal to the
Redemption Call Purchase Price.

(c) For the purposes of completing the purchase of the Exchangeable Shares
pursuant to the Redemption Call Right, Patch shall ensure that the Transfer
Agent holds, on or before the Redemption Date, sufficient certificates
representing the aggregate number of Patch Shares deliverable in respect of the
Redemption Call Right and a cheque or cheques of Patch payable at par at any
branch of the bankers of Patch representing the aggregate Unpaid Dividend Amount
in

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

payment of the total Redemption Call Purchase Price, in each case, less any
amounts withheld on account of tax required to be deducted and withheld
therefrom. Provided that Patch has complied with the immediately preceding
sentence, on and after the Redemption Date the rights of each holder of
Exchangeable Shares will be limited to receiving such holder's proportionate
part of the total Redemption Call Purchase Price payable by Patch upon
presentation and surrender by the holder of certificates representing the
Exchangeable Shares held by such holder and the holder shall on and after the
Redemption Date be considered and deemed for all purposes to be the holder of
the Patch Shares to which it is entitled. Upon surrender to the Trustee or
Transfer Agent of a certificate or certificates representing Exchangeable
Shares, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to
effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares under the Act and the articles and
by-laws of Exchangeco and such additional documents and instruments as the
Transfer Agent may reasonably require, the holder of such surrendered
certificate or certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor,
and Transfer Agent on behalf of Patch shall deliver to such holder, certificates
representing the Patch Shares to which the holder is entitled and a cheque or
cheques of Patch payable at par at any branch of the bankers of Patch in payment
of the remaining portion, if any, of the total Redemption Call Purchase Price,
in each case, less any amounts withheld on account of tax required to be
deducted and withheld therefrom. If Patch does not exercise the Redemption Call
Right in the manner described above, on the Redemption Date the holders of the
Exchangeable Shares will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the
redemption price otherwise payable by Exchangeco in connection with the
redemption of the Exchangeable Shares pursuant to Article 11 of these Share
Provisions.

(d) Patch shall at any time be entitled to assign all of its rights in this
Section to an Affiliate of Patch provided that such company assumes all of
Patch's obligations under this Section.

Article 13

PURCHASE FOR CANCELLATION

13.1 Subject to applicable law and the articles of Exchangeco, Exchangeco may at
any time and from time to time offer to purchase for cancellation all or any
part of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares at any price by tender to all the
holders of record of Exchangeable Shares then outstanding or through the
facilities of any stock exchange on which the Exchangeable Shares are listed or
quoted at any price per share together with an amount equal to the Unpaid
Dividend Amount. If in response to an invitation for tenders under the
provisions of this Article 13, more Exchangeable Shares are tendered at a price
or prices acceptable to Exchangeco than Exchangeco is prepared to purchase, the
Exchangeable Shares to be purchased by Exchangeco shall be purchased as nearly
as may be pro rata according to the number of shares tendered by each holder who
submits a tender to Exchangeco, provided that when shares are tendered at
different prices, the pro rating shall be effected (disregarding fractions) only
with respect to the shares tendered at the price at which more shares were
tendered than Exchangeco is prepared to purchase after Exchangeco has purchased
all the shares tendered at lower prices. If part only of the Exchangeable Shares
represented by any certificate shall be purchased, a new certificate for the
balance of such shares shall be issued at the expense of Exchangeco.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Article 14

VOTING RIGHTS

14.1 Except as required by applicable law and by Article 15, Article 16 and
Article 17 hereof, and by the provisions of the Support Agreement referred to in
Article 16 hereof, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall not be entitled
as such to receive notice of or to attend any meeting of the shareholders of
Exchangeco or to vote at any such meeting. The holders of Exchangeable Shares
shall, however, be entitled to notice of meetings of the shareholders called for
the purpose of authorizing the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
Exchangeco or the sale, lease, or exchange of all or substantially all of the
property of Exchangeco other than in the ordinary course of business of
Exchangeco. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the voting rights of any
issued and outstanding Patch Shares held in trust by the Trustee or otherwise
limit rights reserved to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares pursuant to the
terms of the Exchange and Voting Trust Agreement.

Article 15

AMENDMENT AND APPROVAL

15.1 The rights, privileges, restrictions, and conditions attaching to the
Exchangeable Shares may be added to, changed or removed but only with the
approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given as hereinafter
specified.

15.2 Any approval given by the holders of the Exchangeable Shares to add to,
change or remove any right, privilege, restriction or condition attaching to the
Exchangeable Shares or any other matter requiring the approval or consent of the
holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall be deemed to have been sufficiently
given if it shall have been given in accordance with applicable law subject to a
minimum requirement that such approval be evidenced by resolution passed by not
less than two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast on such resolution at a meeting of
holders of Exchangeable Shares duly called and held at which the holders of at
least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares at that time are
present or represented by proxy; provided that, if at any such meeting the
holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares at
that time are not present or represented by proxy within one-half hour after the
time appointed for such meeting, then the meeting shall be adjourned to such
date not less than five (5) days thereafter and to such time and place as may be
designated by the Chairman of such meeting. At such adjourned meeting the
holders of Exchangeable Shares present or represented by proxy thereat may
transact the business for which the meeting was originally called and a
resolution passed thereat by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds
(2/3) of the votes cast on such resolution at such meeting shall constitute the
approval or consent of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

affixed thereto a legend in form and on terms approved by the Board of
Directors, with respect to the Support Agreement, the provisions herein relating

Right.

18.2 Each holder of an Exchangeable Share, whether of record or beneficial, by
virtue of becoming and being such a holder shall be deemed to acknowledge each
