one registration of Registrable Securities in any 90-day period.

          (d) Ineffective Demands. A request by a Demand Holder that the Company
effect a registration shall not be considered a Demand Request if: (i) the
registration statement relating thereto does not become effective; (ii) after it
has become effective such registration statement (or the use of the Prospectus
contained in such registration statement) is (A) interfered with by any stop
order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission, Canadian
securities regulators or other governmental agency or court for any reason other
than a misrepresentation or an omission by any Demand Holder or (B) delayed,
withdrawn, suspended or terminated and, in each case, as a result thereof, at

completely distributed in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth in
the related registration statement; or (iii) the conditions to closing specified
in any purchase agreement or underwriting agreement entered into in connection

<PAGE>

Request without liability to such Demanding Holder, by giving written notice to

consultation with the Company), as well as counsel for the Selling Holders, with
respect to such registration; provided, that the Company shall have the right to
appoint other syndicate members with the consent of the Demanding Holders not to
be unreasonably withheld.

in any registration of Registrable Securities requested by the Stockholders;
provided that the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such
registration (including those sought by the Stockholders) shall not exceed the
Maximum Number; and provided, further, that in all cases, the Demand Holders
shall have priority over any such other Person.

          Section 2.02

          (a) "Piggy-Back" Rights. If the Company proposes to register any of
its Common Shares, any other equity securities or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for its equity securities under the Securities Act and/or
applicable Canadian Securities Laws (including, without limitation, in
connection with a Demand Request), whether or not for sale for its own account,
in a manner that would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale
for cash to the public under the Securities Act and/or applicable Canadian
Securities Laws, the Company shall give written notice of such proposal at least
thirty (30) days before the anticipated filing date, to each Stockholder. In the
event that the Company elects to file a "universal shelf" registration statement
or the Canadian Securities Law equivalent thereof which registers any of the
classes of securities referred to in the first sentence of this Section 2.02(a),
the Company shall take such steps as would permit the shelf registration
statement to be used to permit secondary sales by the Stockholders and shall
give written notice of any proposal to make an offering off the shelf
registration statement of any class of securities referred to in the first
sentence of this Section 2.02(a) at least ten (10) days before, and, if
practicable, up to thirty (30) days before, the anticipated offering date, to
each Stockholder. Such notices, as applicable, shall specify at a minimum the
intended method of distribution of such Common Shares or other securities, the
number of Common Shares or other securities proposed to be registered or
offered, the proposed filing date of such registration statement or offering
date in the case of a shelf takedown, any proposed means of distribution of such
Common Shares or other securities and the proposed managing underwriter, if any.
Subject to Section 2.03, upon the written request of a Stockholder (the
"Piggyback Request"), given within fifteen (15) days after the transmittal of
any such written notice by email or facsimile confirmed by mail (which request
shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such
Stockholder), the Company


                                       -8-

<PAGE>

will include in the prospectus with respect to such Public Offering, or any
prospectus supplement in the case of a shelf takedown, the number of the
Registrable Securities referred to in such Stockholder's request; provided,
that, any participation in such Public Offering by such Stockholder shall be on
substantially the same terms as the Company's participation therein; and
provided, further, that the number of Registrable Securities to be included in
any such Public Offering shall not exceed the Maximum Number.

          (b) Withdrawal of Request. Any such Stockholder shall have the right
to withdraw a request to include Registrable Securities in any Public Offering
pursuant to Section 2.02(a), without any liability of such Stockholder by giving
written notice to the Company of its election to withdraw such request at any
time prior to the proposed effective date of such registration statement.

          (c) Exception to Piggyback Rights. The Company shall not be required
to effect any registration of Registrable Securities under Section 2.02(a)
incidental to the registration of any equity securities on a Form S-8, Form S-4
or Form F-4 or any similar registration under Canadian Securities Laws (or any
successors thereto).

          Section 2.03 Allocation of Securities Included in a Public Offering.
If the registration referred to in Section 2.01(a) and Section 2.02(a) is to be
a Public Offering and the managing underwriter thereof advises the Company and
the Selling Holders in writing that the number of Common Shares sought to be
included in such Public Offering (including those sought to be offered by the
Company and those sought to be offered by the Selling Holders) exceeds the
Maximum Number, the Common Shares to be included in such Public Offering shall
be allocated pursuant to the procedures of this Section 2.03.

          (a) Demand Allocation. If a registration or Public Offering is
effected pursuant to Section 2.01(a), the number of Registrable Securities
included in such registration shall be allocated: (x) first, pro rata among the
Demand Holders, and (y) second, pro rata among all of the other Selling Holders
on the basis of the relative number of the Registrable Shares then held by each
such Selling Holder (with any number in excess of a Selling Holder's request
reallocated among the remaining Selling Holders in a like manner) or in such
manner as shall be designated by the Selling Holders.

          (b) Piggyback Allocation. If a registration or Public Offering is
effected pursuant to Section 2.02(a): the number of Registrable Securities
included in such registration shall be allocated: (x) first, to securities
sought to be included at the request of the Company ("Company Securities"), (y)
second, among the Demand Holders up to the full number of the Registrable
Securities included in the Piggyback Request, in excess of the number of Company
Securities, to the nearest extent possible on a pro rata basis, and (y) third,

          Section 4.01 Indemnification and Contribution.

          (a) Indemnification by the Company. In the event of any registration
of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act and applicable Canadian
Securities Laws pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will, and it hereby
does, indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, each
Selling Holder, their directors and officers, employees, stockholders, general
partners, limited partners, members, advisory directors and managing directors
(and directors, officers, stockholders, general partners, limited partners,
members, advisory directors, managing directors and controlling persons
thereof), each other person who participates as an underwriter in the offering
or sale of such securities and each other person, if any, who controls, is
controlled by or is under common control with any such Selling Holder or any
such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and Canadian
Securities Laws, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
joint or several, and expenses (including any amounts paid in any settlement
effected with the Company's consent) to which such Selling Holder, any such
director, or officer, employee, stockholder, general or limited partner, member,
or advisory or managing director or any such underwriter or controlling person
may become subject under the Securities Act and Canadian Securities Laws, state
securities or blue sky laws, common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) or
expenses arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof,
in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were
registered under the Securities Act and applicable Canadian Securities Laws, any
prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) contained therein, or any
amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading (in the case of a prospectus (including
each preliminary prospectus), in light of the circumstances under which they are
made), and the Company will reimburse each such Selling Holder and each such
director, officer, employee, general partner, limited partner, advisory
director, managing director or underwriter and controlling person for any legal
or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them as such expenses are incurred
in connection with investigating or defending such loss, claim, liability,
action or proceeding; provided that the Company shall not be liable in


                                      -18-

<PAGE>

any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or
action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in such registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto
or in any such prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through
an instrument duly executed by such Selling Holder or such director, officer,
employee, general or limited partner, managing director or underwriter
specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof; provided,
further, that the Company shall not be required to indemnify any such person if
such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was
contained or made in any preliminary prospectus and corrected in the final
prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto and the final prospectus does
not contain any other untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement
or omission of a material fact that was the subject matter of the related
proceeding and any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense suffered or
incurred by such indemnified person resulted from any action, claim or suit by
any person who purchased Registrable Securities which are the subject thereof
from such indemnified person and it is established in the related proceeding
that such indemnified person failed to deliver or provide a copy of the final
prospectus (as amended or supplemented) to such person with or prior to the
confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Securities sold to such person if
required by applicable law, unless such failure to deliver or provide a copy of
the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented) was a result of noncompliance
by the Company with this Agreement or as a result of the failure of the Company
to provide such final prospectus. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of each Selling
Holder or any such director, officer, employee, general partner, limited
partner, managing director, underwriter or controlling person and shall survive
the transfer of such securities by any Selling Holder.

          (b) Indemnification by Selling Holders and Underwriters. The Company
may require, as a condition to including Registrable Securities in any
registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, that the Company will
have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from any Selling
Holder or any underwriter to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its
directors, officers, employees, controlling persons and all other prospective
sellers and their respective directors, officers, general and limited partners,
managing directors, and their respective controlling persons, against any and
all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, and expenses
(including any amounts paid in any settlement effected with the consent of the
applicable Selling Holder and underwriter) to which the Company and its
directors, officers, employees, controlling persons or any other prospective
sellers and their respective directors, officers, general and limited partners,
managing directors, and their respective controlling persons may become subject
under the Securities Act and Canadian Securities Laws, state securities or blue
sky laws, common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) or expenses arise out
of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any registration
statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the


                                      -19-

<PAGE>

Securities Act or applicable Canadian Securities Laws, any prospectus (including
each preliminary prospectus) contained therein, or any amendment or supplement
thereto or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading (in the case of a prospectus (including each preliminary
prospectus), in light of the circumstances under which they are made), and the
applicable Selling Holder and underwriter will reimburse the Company and its
directors, officers, employees, controlling persons and all other prospective
sellers and their respective directors, officers, general and limited partners,
managing directors, and their respective controlling persons for any legal or
any other expenses reasonably incurred by them as such expenses are incurred in
connection with investigating or defending such loss, claim, liability, action
or proceeding; provided that any Selling Holder and any underwriter shall only
be liable in any such case if any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action
or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made in such registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto or in any
such prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company through an
instrument duly executed by such Selling Holder or any such underwriter
specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof; provided,
further, that such Selling Holder or underwriter shall not be required to
indemnify the Company if such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission was contained or made in any preliminary prospectus and
corrected in the final prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto and the
final prospectus does not contain any other untrue statement or omission or
alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact that was the subject
matter of the related proceeding and is covered by such Selling Holder's or
underwriter's obligation under this Section 6.2 and any such loss, liability,
claim, damage or expense suffered or incurred by the Company resulted from any
action, claim or suit by any person who purchased Registrable Securities or
other securities of the Company which are the subject thereof from the Selling
Holder or the Company or another holder and it is established in the related
proceeding that a copy of the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented) was
delivered or provided to such person with or prior to the confirmation of the
sale of such Registrable Securities sold to such Person if required by
applicable law. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless
of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director,
officer, employee or controlling person or other indemnified person. No Selling
Holder shall be liable under any indemnity provided pursuant to this Agreement
for any amounts exceeding the product of the purchase price per Registrable
Security and the number of Registrable Securities being sold pursuant to such
registration statement or prospectus by such Selling Holder.

          (c) Notices of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified
party hereunder of written notice of the commencement of any action or
proceeding with respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made
pursuant to this Agreement, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, promptly give written
notice to the latter of the commencement of such action; provided that the
failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not
relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Agreement,


                                      -20-

<PAGE>

except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually materially
prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought
against an indemnified party, unless in such indemnified party's reasonable
judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying
parties may exist in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party will be
entitled to participate in and, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, to the extent that it may
wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after
notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so
to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such
indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the
latter in connection with the defense thereof, unless in such indemnified
party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and
indemnifying parties arises in respect of such claim after the assumption of the
defense thereof or a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the
indemnifying party is not vigorously defending such action or proceeding. An
indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made
without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). No
indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding which (i) does not include as
an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to all
indemnified parties of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or
litigation, (ii) involves the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition
of any non-financial obligations on such indemnified party or (iii) otherwise
adversely affects such indemnified party, other than as a result of the
imposition of financial obligations for which such indemnified party will be
indemnified hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, an indemnifying party will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses
of more than one counsel (together with local counsel) for all parties
indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the
reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist
between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with
respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated
to pay the fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels (together
with the fees of local counsel).

          (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article
4 shall for any reason be unavailable or insufficient to an indemnified party in
respect of any loss, liability, cost, claim or damage referred to therein, then
each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party,
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such loss, liability, cost, claim or damage (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party
or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other
hand from the offering or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is
not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the
relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the
indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements
or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits
received by the indemnified party or parties on the one hand and the
indemnifying party or parties on the other hand in connection with the offering
shall be


                                      -21-

<PAGE>

deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the
offering (before deducting expenses) and the total underwriting discounts and
commissions received by the underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table
on the cover of a prospectus, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the
securities. The relative fault of the indemnified and indemnifying parties shall
be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnified or
indemnifying parties and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss,
cost, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to
above in this paragraph (d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the
limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such
action or claim. The Company and the Selling Holders agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Article 4 were determined by
pro rata allocation (even if the underwriters were treated as one entity for
such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account
of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Article 4, no Selling Holder shall be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds of the
offering received by such Selling Holder exceed the amount of any damages which
such Selling Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Each Selling
Holder's obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 4.01(d) are several
in the proportion that the net proceeds of the offering received by such Selling
Holder bears to the total net proceeds of the offering received by all the
Selling Holders and not joint. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act or applicable
Canadian Securities Laws) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who
was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

          (e) Indemnification and contribution similar to that specified in the
preceding paragraphs of this Article 4 (with appropriate modifications) shall be
given by the Company, the Selling Holders with Registrable Securities included
in such registration and the underwriters with respect to any required
registration or other qualification of securities under any state law or
regulation or governmental authority.

          (f) The obligations of the parties under this Article 4 shall be in
addition to any liability which any party may otherwise have to any other party.

                                    ARTICLE V

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

          Section 5.01 Remedies.

          In the event of breach by any party of any of its obligations under
this Agreement, the other parties, in addition to being entitled to exercise all
rights provided


                                      -22-

<PAGE>

herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to
specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each
Stockholder agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for
any loss incurred by reason of a breach by the Company or such Stockholder, as
the case may be, of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further
agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of
such breach, the Company or such Stockholder, as the case may be, shall waive
the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. No failure or delay on the
part of the Company or any Stockholder in exercising any right, power or remedy
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

          Section 5.02 Amendments; Waivers and Termination.

          The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this
sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents
to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, without the written
consent of the Company and a majority of the Demand Holders.

          Section 5.03 Notices.

          All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be deemed given if delivered personally, by electronic mail or facsimile
(in each case, receipt of which is confirmed) or mailed by registered or
certified mail (return receipt requested) to the parties at the following
addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like
notice):

          Section 5.04 Interpretation.

          When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, such
reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.
The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and
shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

          Section 5.05 Counterparts.

          This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of
which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective
when two or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and
delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not
sign the same counterpart.

          Section 5.06 Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

          This Agreement (including the documents and the instruments referred
to herein) (a) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and (b) is not intended to confer upon any
Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns, any rights or remedies hereunder.

          Section 5.07 Governing Law.

          This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the [State of New York] applicable to contracts to be performed
entirely within such State.

          Section 5.08 Severability.

          Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in such
a manner as to be valid, legal and enforceable under applicable law, but in case
any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision
shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability without invalidating or rendering unenforceable
the remainder of this Agreement, unless such a construction would be
unreasonable or materially impair the rights of any party hereto.

          Section 5.09 Successors and Assigns.

          All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on
behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto whether so
expressed or not. This Agreement shall not be assignable by the Company or the
Stockholder except to a Permitted Transferee.

          Section 5.10 Canadian Offering.

          Although this Agreement has been drafted in contemplation of an IPO
involving a Public Offering in both the United States and Canada, the Company
may, in its sole discretion, decide not to proceed with the Canadian Public
Offering. In the event that no Public Offering in Canada is consummated at the
time of the IPO or at any relevant time under this Agreement, the Company's
Common Shares are no longer actively traded on the TSX, all provisions in this
Agreement that relate to the registration


                                      -24-

<PAGE>

of Registrable Securities in Canada, including without limitation, references to
Canadian Securities Laws, the Canadian Prospectus, Canadian securities
regulatory authorities and the Toronto Stock Exchange, shall be of no force and
effect and this Agreement shall be interpreted for all purposes as if such
provisions did not exist..

          Section 5.11 Use of Terms.

          This Agreement contemplates the filing of Registration Statements
under the Securities Act and prospectuses under Canadian Securities Laws on
numerous occasions involving various offers of securities. In connection with
such Registration Statements and prospectuses, there may be identified therein
one or more underwriters through which securities are to be offered on behalf of
the Company or the Stockholder, or both, pursuant to either a "firm-commitment"
or "best-efforts" arrangement, and, in the case where there is more than one
underwriter, one or more of the underwriters may be designated as the "manager"
or "representative" or the "co-managers" or "representatives" of the several
underwriters. Accordingly, all references herein to an "underwriter" or
"underwriters" are intended to refer to a "principal underwriter" (as defined in
Rule 405 under the Securities Act) and to provide for those transactions in
which securities may be offered by or through one or more underwriters, and not
to imply that any of the transactions contemplated hereby is conditioned in any
manner whatsoever on the participation therein by one or more underwriters on
behalf of any party.
