by the number of day in the deemed interest period, then multiplying such
result by the actual number of days in the calendar year (365 or 366).


(c)           If a payment date is not a Business
Day at a place of payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement or the Notes) payment of interest, premium or principal otherwise due

Conversion.


(a)           The outstanding principal amount of
each Note, together with any accrued interest thereon, shall be due and payable
in full in cash on the earlier of:  (i)
the Maturity Date, or (ii) such other date as the Note becomes due and payable
or purchasable pursuant to this Agreement. 
Payment of principal on the Notes will be made to each Purchaser by
certified or bank cashier’s check or wire transfer of immediately available
funds, at such address and to such account as the Purchaser shall specify in
writing to the Company at least five Business Days before such payment is to be
made.


(b)           Upon any conversion
of any Note in accordance with the terms of Section 4 hereunder, the
Conversion Amount shall be converted into a number of whole Common Shares at
the Conversion Rate (as defined below), with any fractional shares that may
result treated in the manner set forth in Section 4.1(a) of this
Agreement.


4.             Conversion of Notes.  The Notes
shall be convertible into Common Shares on the terms and conditions set forth
in this Section 4.


4.1.          Purchaser’s
Conversion Right.  Subject to the provisions of Section 4.5, at
any time or times on or after the Closing Date, any Purchaser shall be entitled
to convert the Conversion Amount into fully paid and nonassessable Common
Shares in accordance with Section 4.1(a) at the Conversion Rate (as
defined below):


(a)           Conversion. 
The number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of each Note pursuant to
this Section 4.1 shall be determined according to the following formula
(the “Conversion Rate”):


(Conversion
Amount/Conversion Price) + the Cumulative Dividend Adjustment for that Note


No fractional
Common Shares are to be issued upon the conversion of any Note, but rather the
Company, at its option, shall either (a) round up such fraction to the nearest
whole share, or (b) pay an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) such
fraction, multiplied by (ii) the Closing Sale Price of a Common Share on the
date of the Conversion Notice (as defined below), computed to the nearest whole
cent, in lieu of issuing a fractional share.


(b)           Mechanics
of Conversion.  The conversion of Notes shall be conducted in the
following manner:


(i)            Purchaser’s
Delivery Requirements.  To convert Notes into Common Shares on any
date (a “Conversion Date”),
the Purchaser shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for
receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City Time, on such date, a copy of
a properly completed notice of conversion executed by the registered Purchaser
of the Notes subject to such conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company and
the Company’s designated transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) and (B) surrender to a common carrier for
delivery to the Company as soon as practicable following such date the original
Notes being converted (or compliance with the procedures set forth in Section
10.3).


 



 11
  















(ii)           Company’s
Response.  Upon receipt by the Company of copy of the later of a
Conversion Notice and the original Note, the Company shall (I) as soon as
practicable, but in any event within two (2) Trading Days, send, via facsimile,
a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Purchaser and the
Transfer Agent, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the
Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms
herein and (II) on or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date of
receipt by the Company of the later of such Conversion Notice and the original
Note (the “Share Delivery Date”),
(A) provided the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated
Securities Transfer Program and the Registration Statement (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement) upon which the Common Shares issuable upon
conversion of the Notes has been declared effective by the SEC, credit such
aggregate number of Common Shares to which the Purchaser shall be entitled to
the Purchaser’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (B) if the Transfer Agent is not
participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and
deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate,
registered in the name of the Purchaser or its designee, for the number of
Common Shares to which the Purchaser shall be entitled.  If the aggregate
principal amount of the Note that is being converted in accordance with the
Conversion Note is less than that aggregate principal amount of such Note being
converted, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later
than three (3) Business Days after receipt of the original Note  (the “Note
Delivery Date”) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the
Purchaser a new Note representing the aggregate principal amount of the Note
not converted.


(iii)          Dispute
Resolution.  In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the
Closing Sale Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, the
Company shall instruct the Transfer Agent to issue to the Purchaser the number
of Common Shares that is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the
disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the Purchaser via
facsimile within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such Purchaser’s
Conversion Notice or other date of determination.  If such Purchaser and
the Company are unable to agree upon the determination of the Closing Sale
Price or arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate within two (2) Business
Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being transmitted
to the Purchaser, then the Company shall within two (2) Business Days submit
via facsimile (A) the disputed determination of the Closing Sale Price to an
independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by
the Requisite Holders or (B) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the
Conversion Rate to the Company’s independent, outside accountant.  The
Company shall cause, at the Company’s expense, the investment bank or the
accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations
and notify the Company and the Purchasers of the results no later than two (2)
Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or
calculations.  Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or
calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent
error.


(iv)          Record
Holder.  The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Shares
issuable upon a conversion of Notes shall be treated for all purposes as the
record holder or holders of such Common Shares on the Conversion Date.



 12
 









(v)           Pro
Rata Conversion; Disputes.  In the event the Company receives a
Conversion Notice from more than one Purchaser for the same Conversion Date and
the Company can convert some, but not all, of such Notes, the Company shall
convert from each Purchaser electing to have Notes converted at such time a pro
rata amount of such Purchaser’s Notes submitted for conversion based on the
number of Notes submitted for conversion on such date by such Purchaser
relative to the number of Notes submitted for conversion on such date.  In
the event of a dispute as to the number of Common Shares issuable to a
Purchaser in connection with a conversion of Notes, the Company shall issue to
such Purchaser the number of Common Shares not in dispute and resolve such
dispute in accordance with Section 4.1(b)(iii).


4.2.          Conversion
at the Company’s Election.  On any date (the “Conversion Election Date”) after the
eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date, so long as (A) the Equity
Conditions shall have been satisfied or waived in writing by the applicable
Purchaser from and including the date of the Company Conversion Election Notice
(as defined below) through and including the Company Election Conversion Date
(as defined below) and (B) on any twenty (20) out of thirty (30) consecutive
Trading Days immediately preceding the date of the Company Conversion Election
Notice, the Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares exceeds 175% of the
Conversion Price (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock
combination or other similar transaction during such period), the Company shall
have the right, in its sole discretion, to require that some or all of the
outstanding Notes be converted (the “Company
Conversion Election”) at the applicable Conversion Rate; provided,
however, that the Company may not consummate more than one (1) Company
Conversion in any thirty (30) Trading Day period. The Company shall exercise
its right to Company Conversion Election by providing each Purchaser written
notice (“Company Conversion Notice”)
by facsimile and overnight courier on the Conversion Election Date. The date on
which each of such Purchasers actually receives the Company Conversion Election
Notice is referred to herein as the “Company
Conversion Election Notice Date.”  If the Company elects to
require conversion of some, but not all, of such Notes then outstanding, the
Company shall require conversion of an amount from each Purchaser equal to the
product of (I) the total number of Notes which the Company has elected to
convert multiplied by (II) such Purchaser’s Allocation Percentage (such amount
with respect to each Purchaser of such Notes being referred to herein as its “Pro Rata Conversion Amount”). In the
event that any initial Purchaser of the Notes shall sell or otherwise transfer
any of such Purchaser’s Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata
portion of such Purchaser’s Allocation Percentage. The Company Conversion
Election Notice shall indicate (x) the aggregate principal amount of such Notes
the Company has selected for conversion, (y) the date selected by the Company
for conversion (the “Company Delivery Date”),
which date shall be not less than twenty (20) Trading Days or more than sixty
(60) Trading Days after the Company Conversion Election Notice Date, and (z)
each Purchaser’s Pro Rata Conversion Amount. Subject to the satisfaction of all
the conditions of this Section 4.2, on the Company Election Conversion
Date each Purchaser of Notes selected for conversion will be deemed to have
submitted a Conversion Notice in accordance with Section 4.1(b)(i) for a
the aggregate principal amount of Notes equal to such Purchaser’s Pro Rata
Conversion Amount. Notwithstanding the above, any Purchaser may convert such
Notes selected for conversion hereunder which shall reduce such Purchaser’s Pro
Rata Conversion Amount into Common Shares pursuant to Section 4.1 on or
prior to the date immediately preceding the Company Election Conversion Date.



 13
 









4.3.          Taxes.


(a)           Any
and all payments made by the Company hereunder, including any amounts received
on a conversion or redemption of the Notes and any amounts on account of
interest payments or deemed interest payments, must be made by it without any
Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.  If the Company is aware that it must make a Tax
Deduction (or that there is a change in the rate or the basis of a Tax
Deduction), it must notify the affected Purchasers promptly.


(b)           If
a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by the Company as it applies on
the Closing Date and to the affected Purchaser or Purchasers according to their
legal status and domicile as at the Closing Date, then the amount of the
payment due from the Company will be increased to an amount which (after making
the Tax Deduction including any Tax Deduction applicable to additional sums
payable pursuant to this Section 4.3(b)) leaves an amount equal to the
payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required (“Additional Amount”).


(c)           If
the Company is required to make a Tax Deduction, it must make the minimum Tax
Deduction allowed by law and must make any payment required in connection with
that Tax Deduction within the time allowed by law.  As soon as practicable after making a Tax
Deduction or a payment required in connection with a Tax Deduction, the Company
must deliver to the Purchaser any official receipt or form, if any, provided by
or required by the taxing authority to whom the Tax Deduction was paid.


(d)           In
the event that the Company fails to make a required Tax Deduction or fails to
remit a Tax Deduction to the applicable taxing authority, the Company shall
indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser for the full amount of any taxes,
interest payments and penalties assessed against such Purchaser, including the
amount of any taxes payable by such Purchaser in respect of payments received
pursuant to this Section 4.3(d).


(e)           In
addition, the Company agrees to pay in accordance with applicable law any
present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property
taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or
in connection with the execution, delivery, registration or performance of, or
otherwise with respect to, the Notes (“Other
Taxes”). As soon as practicable after making a payment of Other
Taxes, the Company must deliver to such Purchaser any official receipt or form,
if any, provided by or required by the taxing authority to whom the Tax
Deduction was paid.


(f)            The
obligations of the Company under this Section 4.3 shall survive the
Maturity Date of the Notes and the payment for the Notes and all other amounts
payable hereunder.


4.4.          Adjustments
to Conversion Price. The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment
from time to time as provided in this Section 4.4.


(a)           Adjustment of Conversion Price
upon Issuance of Common Shares. If and whenever on or after the Execution
Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 4.4(a)
is deemed to have issued or sold, any Common Shares 



 14
 









(including the issuance or sale of Common Shares owned
or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding Common Shares
deemed to have been issued or sold by the Company in connection with any
Excluded Security) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale (the
foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”),
then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in
effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (x) the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, and (y) the
following fraction:


N(0) + N(1)

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

N(0) + N(2)


where:


N(0) =         the number of Common
Shares of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such Dilutive
Issuance (without taking into account the conversion, exercise or exchange of
any Convertible Securities, including the Notes);


N(1) =         the number of Common
Shares of such the Company for which the aggregate consideration, if any,
received or receivable by the Company for the total number of such additional
Common Shares so issued, sold or deemed issued or sold in such dilutive
issuance would be convertible or exchangeable at the Conversion Price for such
Common Shares in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance; and


N(2) =         the number of such
additional Common Shares of the Company so issued, sold or
deemed issued or sold in such Dilutive Issuance.


For
purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section
4.4(a), the following shall be applicable:


(i)            Issuance
of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and
the lowest price per share for which one Common Share is issuable upon the
exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale, then each
such Common Share underlying such Option shall be deemed to be outstanding and
to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale
of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section
4.4(a)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one Common Share is
issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or
exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option”
shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any)
received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one Common Share upon
granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion
or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of
such Option. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon
the actual issuance of such Common Share or of such Convertible Securities upon
the exercise of such Options or upon 



 15
 









the actual issuance of such Common Shares upon
conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.


(ii)           Issuance
of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any
Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one Common
Share is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less
than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale,
then each such Common Share underlying such Convertible Securities shall be
deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the
time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per
share. For the purposes of this Section 4.4(a)(ii), the “lowest price
per share for which one Common Share is issuable upon such conversion or
exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of
consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to
any one Common Share upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and
upon the conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security. No
further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual
issuance of such Common Share upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such
Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible
Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the
Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of
this Section 4.4(a), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall
be made by reason of such issue or sale.


(iii)          Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price provided for
in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue,
conversion,  exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the
rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable
or exercisable for Common Shares changes at any time, the Conversion Price in
effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price
which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible
Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration
or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted,
issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 4.4(a)(iii), if the terms
of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Execution
Date are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence,
then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Shares deemed issuable
upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been
issued as of the date of such change. No adjustment shall be made if such
adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.


(iv)          Calculation
of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with
the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one
integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such
Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued
for a consideration of $0.01. If any Common Shares, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash,
the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount
received by the Company therefor. If any Common Shares, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount
of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair
value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of
publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received
by the Company will be the Closing Sale Price of such 



 16
 









securities on the date of receipt of such securities.
If any Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the
owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the
Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be
deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of
the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Shares, Options or
Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration
other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the
Company and the Requisite Holders. If such parties are unable to reach
agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring
valuation (the “Valuation Event”),
the fair value of such consideration will be determined within ten (10)
Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an
independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the
Requisite Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding
upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such
appraiser shall be borne by the Company.


(v)           Record
Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Shares for the
purpose of entitling them (I) to receive a dividend or other distribution
payable in Common Shares, Options or in Convertible Securities or (II) to
subscribe for or purchase Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities,
then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the
Common Shares deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such
dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting
of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.


(b)           Adjustment
of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Shares. If
the Company at any time after the Execution Date subdivides (by any share
split, share dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding Common
Shares into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the
Company at any time after the Execution Date combines (by combination, reverse
share split or otherwise) its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number
of shares and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination will be proportionately increased.


(c)           Other
Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of
this Section 4.4 but not expressly provided for by such provisions
(including, without limitation, the granting of share appreciation rights,
“phantom stock rights” or other rights with equity features), then the
Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the
Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Purchasers; provided
that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise
determined pursuant to this Section 4.4.


(d)           Notices.


(i)            Immediately
upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 4.4, the
Company will give written notice thereof to each Purchaser, setting forth in
reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment. In the
case of a dispute as to the determination of such adjustment, then such dispute
shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section
4.1(b)(iii).



 17
 









(ii)           The
Company will give written notice to each Purchaser at least ten (10) Business
Days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record
(I) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Shares, (II)
with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Shares or
(III) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental
Transaction, provided that such information shall be made known to the
public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such
Purchaser.


(iii)          The
Company will also give written notice to each Purchaser at least ten (10)
Business Days prior to the date on which any Fundamental Transaction will take
place, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior
to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such Purchaser.


(e)           Additional
Notes; Variable Securities; Dilutive Issuances. For so long as any Notes
are outstanding, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the
Requisite Holders, issue any Notes and the Company shall not issue any other
securities that would cause a breach or default under this Agreement other than
those issued pursuant to the Series A Note Purchase Agreement. For so long as
any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall not, in any manner, issue or
sell any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares
or directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for
Common Shares at a conversion, exchange or exercise price which varies or may
vary after issuance with the market price of the Common Shares, including by
way of one or more reset(s) to any fixed price unless the conversion, exchange
or exercise price of any such security cannot be less than the then applicable
Conversion Price with respect to the Common Shares into which any Notes are
convertible.


4.5.          Limitation on Beneficial Ownership. The Company
shall not effect any conversion of Notes, and no Purchaser shall have the right
to convert any Notes, to the extent that after giving effect to such
conversion, the beneficial owner of such shares (together with such Person’s
Affiliates) would have acquired, through conversion of Notes or otherwise,
beneficial ownership of a number of Common Shares that exceeds 9.99% (“Maximum Percentage”) of the number of
Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such
conversion.  For purposes of the
foregoing, the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by a Person and its
Affiliates shall include the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion
of the Notes with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being
made, but shall exclude the number of Common Shares which would be issuable
upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted Notes beneficially owned by
such Person or any of its Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the
unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
(including, without limitation, any other notes, preferred shares or warrants)
subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation
contained in this Section beneficially owned by such Person or any of its
Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this
Section 4.5, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. For purposes of this Section 4.5, in
determining the number of outstanding Common Shares, a Purchaser may rely on
the number of outstanding Common Shares as reflected in (1) the Company’s most
recent Form 10-K, Form 10-KSB, Form 10-Q, Form 10-QSB or Form 8-K, as the case
may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (3) any other
notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Common
Shares outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of 



 18
 









any Purchaser, the Company
shall within one (1) Business Day following the receipt of such notice, confirm
orally and in writing to any such Purchaser the number of Common Shares then
outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be
determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of
the Company, including the Notes, by such Purchaser and its Affiliates since
the date as of which such number of outstanding Common Shares was reported. By
written notice to the Company, any Purchaser may from time to time increase or
decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99%
nor below 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided, that (I) any such
increase or decrease will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such written notice is delivered to
the Company, and (II) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the
Purchaser providing such written notice and not to any other Purchaser.


5.             Representations
and Warranties of the Company.  The
Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers and the Placement

5.10.        SEC Filings; SEDAR
Filings.  At the time of filing
thereof, (i) the SEC Filings complied as to form in all material respects with
the requirements of the 1934 Act; and 



 22
 









(ii) the SEDAR Filings complied as to form in all
material respects with the laws, rules and regulations of the securities
regulatory authorities in the provinces and territories of Canada, and neither
the SEC Filings nor the SEDAR Filings contained any untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading.  The SEDAR
Filings did not contain any “misrepresentation” within the meaning of Canadian
securities laws.  The Company is not
(with or without the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both) in
material breach or default of any Material Contract and, to the Company’s
Knowledge, no other party to any Material Contract is (with or without the
lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both) in material breach or default
of any Material Contract.  The Company

Contract.


5.11.        No Conflict,
Breach, Violation or Default.  The
execution, delivery and performance of the Note Documents by the Company and
the issuance and sale of the Notes will not conflict with or result in a breach
or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default

the date hereof, or any Subsidiary’s certificate or articles of incorporation,
bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, each as in effect on the
date hereof; or (ii)(a) any statute, rule, regulation or order of any
governmental agency or body or any court, domestic or foreign, having
jurisdiction over the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective assets

timely prepared and filed all tax returns required to have been filed by the
Company and each of its Subsidiaries with all appropriate governmental agencies
and timely paid all taxes shown thereon or otherwise owed by them, except to
the extent being disputed in good faith or would not have a Material Adverse
Effect.  The charges, accruals and
reserves on the books of the Company in respect of taxes for all fiscal periods
are adequate in all material respects, and there are no material unpaid
assessments against the Company nor, to the Company’s Knowledge, any basis for
the assessment of any additional taxes, penalties or interest for any fiscal
period or audits by any foreign, federal, state or local taxing authority
except for any assessment that is not material to the Company.  All taxes and other assessments and levies
that the Company is required to withhold or to collect for payment have been
duly withheld and collected and paid to the proper governmental entity or third
party when due, except to the extent being disputed in good faith or would not
have a Material Adverse Effect.  There
are no tax liens or claims pending or, to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened
against the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its assets or
property.  Except as described on Schedule
5.12, there are no outstanding tax sharing agreements or other such
arrangements between the Company or any Subsidiary and any other entity and
neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is presently undergoing any audit by a
taxing authority, or has waived or extended any statute of limitations at the
request of any taking authority.



 23
 









5.13.        Title to Properties.


(a)           Except as disclosed
in the SEC Filings or the SEDAR Filings, each of the Company and its
Subsidiaries has good title to all real properties and all other properties and
assets owned by it, in each case free from liens, encumbrances and defects,
except as would not individually or in the aggregate would have a Material
Adverse Effect; and except as disclosed in the SEC Filings or the SEDAR
Filings, the Company and each Subsidiary holds any leased real or personal
property under valid and enforceable leases with no exceptions that would
materially interfere with the use made or currently planned to be made thereof
by them, except as would not individually or in the aggregate would have a
Material Adverse Effect.


(b)           All interests in natural resource

and the SEDAR Filings are in all material respects: (i) owned or held by the
Company or a Subsidiary as owner thereof with good title; (ii) valid and
enforceable; and (iii) free and clear of any liens, charges or encumbrances,
and no royalty is payable in respect of any of them except as disclosed in the
SEC Filings and the SEDAR Filings, except as would not individually or in the
aggregate would have a Material Adverse Effect; no other material property
rights are necessary for the conduct of the Company’s and each Subsidiary’s
business, and there are no material restrictions on the ability of the Company
or any Subsidiary to use, transfer or otherwise exploit any such property
rights except as disclosed in the SEC Filings and the SEDAR Filings, and the
Company does not know of any claim or basis for a claim that may adversely
affect such rights in any material respects except as disclosed in the SEC
Filings and the SEDAR Filings.


5.14.        Certificates,
Authorities and Permits.  The Company
and its Subsidiaries possess adequate certificates, authorities or permits
issued by appropriate governmental agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the
business now operated by it, and neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation
or modification of any such certificate, authority or permit that, if
determined adversely to the Company or any Subsidiary, would have a Material
Adverse Effect, individually or in the aggregate.


5.15.        Employee Relations.


(a) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is
a party to any collective bargaining agreement or employs any member of a
union. The Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their relations with their
employees are good. No executive officer of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries has notified the Company or any such Subsidiary that such officer
intends to leave the Company or any such Subsidiary or otherwise terminate such
officer’s employment with the Company or any such Subsidiary. No executive
officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is to the Company’s
Knowledge, or is to the Company’s Knowledge expected to be, in violation of any
material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or
proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other
contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued employment
of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters.



 24















(b)           The Company and its
Subsidiaries are in compliance with all U.S. and Canadian federal, state,
provincial, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment
and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages
and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.


5.16.        Intellectual Property.


(a)           All Intellectual
Property of the Company is currently in compliance with all legal requirements
(including timely filings, proofs and payments of fees) and is valid and
enforceable, except to the extent that any non-compliance would not
individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect.  No Intellectual Property of the Company that
is necessary for the conduct of Company’s business as currently conducted or as
currently proposed to be conducted has been or is now involved in any
cancellation, dispute or litigation, and, to the Company’s Knowledge, no such
action is threatened.  No patent of the
Company has been or is now involved in any interference, reissue,
re-examination or opposition proceeding.


(b)           All of the licenses
and sublicenses and consent, royalty or other agreements concerning
Intellectual Property that are necessary for the conduct of the Company’s
business as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted to
which the Company is a party or by which any of its assets are bound (other
than  generally commercially available, non-custom, off-the-shelf
software application programs having a retail acquisition price of less than
US$10,000 per license) (collectively, “License Agreements”)
are valid and binding obligations of the Company that are parties thereto and,
to the Company’s Knowledge, the other parties thereto, enforceable in
accordance with their terms, except to the extent that enforcement thereof may
be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent
conveyance or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally, and to the Company’s Knowledge there exists no event or condition
that would result in a material violation or breach of or constitute (with or
without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default by the Company under any
such License Agreement.


(c)           The Company owns or
has the valid right to use all of the Intellectual Property that is necessary
for the conduct of the Company’s business as currently conducted or as
currently proposed to be conducted, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances,
adverse claims or obligations to license all such owned Intellectual Property
and Confidential Information, other than licenses entered into in the ordinary
course of the Company’s business, except that any such invalidity or liens,
encumbrances, or obligations would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  The Company has a valid and enforceable right
to use all third party Intellectual Property and Confidential Information used
or held for use in the business of the Company as currently conducted or as
currently proposed to be conducted, except such invalidity or unenforceable
right shall not have a Material Adverse Effect.


(d)           To
the Company’s Knowledge, the conduct of the Company’s business as currently
conducted and as currently proposed to be conducted does not and will not
infringe any Intellectual Property rights of any third party or any
confidentiality obligation owed to a third party. To the Company’s Knowledge,
the Intellectual Property and Confidential Information of the Company that are
necessary for the conduct of Company’s business as currently conducted or 



 25
 









as currently proposed to be conducted are not being
infringed by any third party.  There is
no litigation or order pending or outstanding or, to the Company’s Knowledge,
threatened or imminent, that seeks to limit or challenge or that concerns the
ownership, use, validity or enforceability of any Intellectual Property or
Confidential Information of the Company and the Company’s use of any
Intellectual Property or Confidential Information owned by a third party, and,
to the Company’s Knowledge, there is no valid basis for the same.


(e)           The
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in the
alteration, loss, impairment of or restriction on the Company’s ownership or
right to use any of the Intellectual Property or Confidential Information that
is necessary for the conduct of the Company’s business as currently conducted
or as currently proposed to be conducted, except as would not have a Material
Adverse Effect.


5.17.        Environmental
Matters.


(a)           The Company and each
of its Subsidiaries has been and is in compliance with all applicable U.S. and
Canadian federal, state, provincial, municipal and local laws, statutes,
ordinances, bylaws and regulations and orders, directives and decisions
rendered by any ministry, department or administrative or regulatory agency,
domestic or foreign, (“Environmental
Laws”) relating to the
protection of the environment, occupational health and safety or the
processing, use, treatment, storage, disposal, discharge, transport or handling
of any pollutants, contaminants, chemicals or industrial, toxic or hazardous
wastes or substance except where such non-compliance would not have a Material
Adverse Effect on the Company on a consolidated basis.


(b)           The Company and each of its
Subsidiaries has obtained all licenses, permits, approvals, consents,
certificates, registrations and other authorizations under Environmental Laws
(the “Environmental Permits”)
necessary for the operation of its projects as currently operated and each
Environmental Permit is valid, subsisting and in good standing and the holders
of the Environmental Permits are not in default or breach thereof and no
proceeding is pending or threatened to revoke or limit any Environmental
Permit, except in each case where the result would not have a Material Adverse
Effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis.


(c)           Neither the Company
(including, if applicable, any predecessor companies thereof) nor any of its Subsidiaries
has received any notice of, or been prosecuted for an offence alleging,
material non-compliance with any Environmental Laws, and neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has settled any allegation of material non-compliance
short of prosecution.  There are no order
or directions relating to environmental matters requiring any material work,
repairs, construction or capital expenditures to be made with respect to any of
the assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries, nor has the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries received notice of any of the same and which orders directions
or notices remain outstanding as unresolved, that if adversely determined would
have a Material Adverse Effect.


5.18.        Litigation.  Except as disclosed in the SEC Filings or the
SEDAR Filings, there are no pending investigations, actions, suits or
proceedings against or affecting the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their
respective properties before or by any court or 



 26
 









governmental or regulatory agency, authority or body;
and except as disclosed in the SEC Filings or the SEDAR Filings, to the
Company’s Knowledge, no such legal, governmental or regulatory investigations,
actions, suits or proceedings are threatened or contemplated that if adversely
determined would have a Material Adverse Effect.


5.19.        Financial
Statements.  The financial statements
included in each SEC Filing and each SEDAR Filing fairly present the financial
position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the dates shown and its
results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown, and such financial
statements have been prepared in conformity with Canadian or United States (as
applicable) generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent
basis; provided, however, that the unaudited financial statements
are subject to normal year end and quarter end audit adjustments (which are not
expected to be material either individually or in the aggregate), and do not
contain all footnotes required under generally accepted accounting principles.  Except as set forth in the financial
statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries included in the SEC Filings and
the SEDAR Filings, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has incurred any
liabilities, contingent or otherwise, except those which, individually or in
the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.


5.20.        Insurance Coverage.  The Company and each of its Subsidiaries
maintains in full force and effect insurance coverage by insurers of recognized
financial responsibility against losses and risks and in amounts as are prudent
and customary in it business; and the Company reasonably believes such
insurance coverage is adequate. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has
been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for and neither the
Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be
able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires
or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to
continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.


5.21.        Brokers
and Finders.  Except for the cash
commission to be paid (the “Cash Placement
Agents Fee”) to the Placement Agents pursuant to the terms of
the Placement Agents Agreement in respect of the transactions contemplated
hereby, no Person will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, any valid right, interest or claim against or upon the Company
or any Purchaser for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any
agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by or on behalf of the
Company.  The Company acknowledges that
the Cash Placement Agents Fee relates wholly to services performed by the
Placement Agents outside Canada and that such fee will not be subject to any
Canadian withholding tax.


5.22.        No General
Solicitation.  Neither the Company
nor to the Company’s Knowledge any Person acting on its behalf has conducted
any “general solicitation” or “general advertising” (as those terms are used in
Regulation D) in
connection with the offer or sale of any of the Notes.


5.23.        No Integrated
Offering.  Neither the Company nor
any of its Affiliates, nor to the Company’s Knowledge any Person acting on its
or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any
Company security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under
circumstances that would adversely affect reliance by the Company on Section
4(2) of the 



 27
 









1933 Act for the exemption from the registration
requirements imposed under Section 5 of the 1933 Act for the transactions
contemplated hereby or that would require such registration under the 1933 Act.

representations and warranties of the Purchasers contained in Section 6
hereof, the offer and sale of the Notes to the Purchasers as contemplated
hereby is exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and from
the prospectus and registration requirements of applicable Canadian securities
laws.


5.25.        Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act.  Neither the Company nor, to
the Company’s Knowledge, any of its current or former shareholders, directors,
officers, employees, agents or other Persons acting on behalf of the Company
has on behalf of the Company or in connection with its business, taken any action, directly or indirectly, that
would result in a violation by such persons of the Foreign Corrupt Practices
Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder or any
Canadian legislation to the corresponding effect (“FCPA”), including, without limitation,
making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce
corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization
of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or
authorization of the giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as
such term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official
thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in contravention of the
FCPA and the Company has conducted its businesses in compliance with the FCPA
and have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure,
and which are reasonably expected to continue to ensure, continued compliance
therewith.


5.26.        Transactions with
Affiliates.  Except as disclosed in
SEC Filings or SEDAR Filings made on or prior to the date hereof, none of the
officers or directors of the Company and, to the Company’s Knowledge, none of
the employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the
Company or to a presently contemplated transaction (other than for services as
employees, officers and directors) that would be required to be disclosed
pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the 1933 Act or
pursuant to Item 13 of Form 51-102F2 of the Canadian Securities Administrators.


5.27.        Internal Controls.  The Company is in material compliance with
the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 currently applicable to the
Company.  The Company maintains a system
of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that
(i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or
specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability; (iii) access to
assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific
authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with
the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken
with respect to any differences.  The
Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in 1934
Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15) for the Company and designed such disclosure
controls and procedures with the intent of ensuring that material information
relating to the Company is made known to the certifying officers by others
within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s
most recently filed period report under the 1934 Act, as the case may be, 



 28
 









is being prepared. 
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s
management, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the most recent periodic reporting
period under the 1934 Act (such date, the “Evaluation
Date”).  The Company
presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the 1934 Act the
conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the
disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the
Evaluation Date and such conclusions are accurate in all material
respects.  Since the Evaluation Date,
there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls (as
such term is defined in Item 308(c) of Regulation S-K) or, to the Company’s
Knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s
internal controls.  The Company maintains
a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and the applicable requirements of the
1934 Act.


5.28.        Listing; Trading.  The Common Shares are listed and posted for
trading on AMEX and TSX and the Company has not received any notification
(written or oral) from AMEX or TSX to the effect that the Company is not in
compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such exchange, nor
to the Company’s Knowledge, are there any facts or circumstances that would
reasonably be expected to lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Shares by AMEX or TSX in the
foreseeable future.  Since its approval
for listing, (i) the Common Shares have been designated for quotation on AMEX
or TSX (as applicable), (ii) trading in the Common Shares has not been
suspended by the SEC, AMEX or TSX, and (iii) the Company has received no
communication, written or oral, from the SEC, AMEX or TSX regarding the
suspension or delisting of the Common Shares from AMEX or TSX (as applicable).


5.29.        Conduct of
Business. Neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries is in violation of any
term of or in default under its Notice of Articles or Articles, any other
certificate of designation, preferences or rights of any other outstanding
series of preferred shares of the Company or their organizational charter or
certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, bylaws or operating
agreement, respectively. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in
violation of any judgment, decree or order or any statute, ordinance, rule or
regulation applicable to the Company or its Subsidiaries, except in all cases
for violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect.


5.30.        Dilutive Effect.
The Company understands and acknowledges that the number of Common Shares
issuable upon conversion of the Notes will increase in certain circumstances.
The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue Common Shares
upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with this Agreement is absolute and
unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on
the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company.


5.31.        Application of Takeover Protections;
Rights Agreement. The Company and its board of directors have taken all
necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share
acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution
under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the
Notice of Articles and Articles or the laws of the jurisdiction of its
formation or incorporation which is or could become applicable to any Purchaser
as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, 



 29
 









including, without limitation, the Company’s issuance
of the Notes and Common Shares upon conversion thereof and any Purchaser’s
ownership of the Notes or Common Shares. The Company has not adopted a
shareholder rights plan or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of
beneficial ownership of Common Shares or a change in control of the Company.


5.32.        Off Balance Sheet Arrangements.
There is no material transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between
the Company and an unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that is
required to be disclosed by the Company in its 1934 Act filings and is not so
disclosed.


5.33.        Investment Company Status. The
Company is not, and upon consummation of the sale of the Notes will not be, an
“investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended.


5.34.        Transfer Taxes. On the Closing
Date, all transfer or other taxes (other than income or similar taxes) that are
required to be paid in connection with the sale and transfer of the Notes to be
sold to each Purchaser hereunder will be, or will have been, fully paid or
provided for by the Company, and all laws imposing such taxes will be or will
have been complied with.


5.35.        Manipulation of Price. The
Company has not, and to the Company’s Knowledge no one acting on its behalf
has, in violation of Regulation M, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any
action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of
the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of
any of the Common Shares, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid any
compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Common Shares, or (iii)
paid or agreed to pay to any person any compensation for soliciting another to
purchase any other securities of the Company.


5.36.        Disclosure. The Company confirms
that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of
the Purchasers or their agents or counsel with any information that constitutes
material, nonpublic information, other than the existence of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The Company understands and confirms that each
of the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting
transactions in securities of the Company.


6.             Representations and Warranties
of the Purchasers.  Each of the
Purchasers hereby severally, and not jointly, represents and warrants to the
Company and the Placement Agents that:


6.1.          Organization;
Authorization.  For each Purchaser
that is an entity, such Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the
requisite corporate or organizational power and authority to enter into and to
consummate the transactions contemplated in the Note Documents and to otherwise
carry out its obligations thereunder. 
The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of the
transactions contemplated by the Note Documents to which such Purchaser is a
party have been duly authorized and will each constitute the valid and legally
binding obligation 



 30
 









of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in
accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability,
relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally.


6.2.          Purchase Entirely
for Own Account.  The Notes to be
purchased by the Purchaser hereunder will be acquired by the Purchaser as
principal for the Purchaser’s own account, for investment purposes, not as
nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part
thereof in violation of the 1933 Act, and the Purchaser has no present
intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing
the same in violation of the 1933 Act. 
The Purchaser is not a registered broker dealer or an entity engaged in
the business of being a broker dealer.


6.3.          Investment
Experience.  The Purchaser
acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk and complete loss of its
investment in the Notes and has such knowledge and experience in financial or
business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
investment contemplated hereby.  The
Purchaser is experienced in making private investments in public equities,
similar to the purchase of the Notes hereunder.


6.4.          Disclosure of
Information.  The Purchaser has no
knowledge of any “material fact” or “material change” (as those terms are
defined in the Securities Act  (British Columbia)) in the affairs of the
Company that has not been generally disclosed to the public, other than this
particular transaction; the Purchaser’s decision to tender this offer and
purchase the Notes has not been made as a result of any verbal or written
representation as to fact or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Company, or
any other Person and is based entirely upon currently available public
information concerning the Company. The Purchaser has had an opportunity to
receive all additional information related to the Company requested by it and
to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company regarding the Company
and its business, to the extent such information is not material nonpublic
information, and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Notes.  The Purchaser acknowledges its satisfactory
review of the SEC Filings and SEDAR Filings. 
The Purchaser acknowledges that it has been afforded the opportunity to
obtain such additional information, other than material nonpublic information,
that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or
expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect
to the investment.


6.5.          Restricted
Securities.  The Purchaser
understands that the Notes and the Common Shares issuable upon conversion
thereof are “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws
inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not
involving a public offering and agrees not to resell such Notes and such Common
Shares issuable upon conversion thereof unless the Notes and the Common Shares
issuable upon conversion thereof are registered pursuant to the 1933 Act, or
resold in accordance with Rule 144 or another exemption from registration is
available therefrom.  In connection with
any transfer of the Notes or the Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof
other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, except as provided
for in Section 8.9, the Company may require the transferor thereof to
provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the
form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such
transferred Notes or such Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof, as
applicable, under the 1933 Act and such transfer is 



 31
 









in compliance with Rule 144 or another exemption from
registration.  The Purchaser understands
that the Notes and the Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof are subject
to resale restrictions in Canada under applicable Canadian securities laws.


6.6.          Legends.


(a)           It is understood that Notes shall
bear the following legend:


“The securities represented
hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “1933 Act”), and may not be transferred unless (i) such securities have
been registered for sale pursuant to the 1933 Act, or (ii) the Company has
received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may
lawfully be made without registration under Rule 144 under the 1933 Act or
qualification under applicable state securities laws.”


“In Canada, unless
permitted under securities legislation, the holder of this security must not
trade the security before                            
[NOTE: Insert the date that is 4 months plus one (1) day after issuance].”


(b)           It is understood that certificates
evidencing the Common Shares issued upon conversion of the Notes shall bear the
following legends:


“The securities represented
hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “1933 Act”), and may not be transferred unless (i) such securities have
been registered for sale pursuant to the 1933 Act, or (ii) the Company has
received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may
lawfully be made without registration under Rule 144 under the 1933 Act or
qualification under applicable state securities laws.”


“In Canada, unless
permitted under securities legislation, the holder of this security must not
trade the security before                            
[NOTE: Insert the date that is 4 months plus one (1) day after issuance].


The securities
represented by this certificate are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange
(“TSX”); however, the said securities cannot be traded through the facilities
of TSX since they are not freely transferable, and consequently any certificate
representing such securities is not “good delivery” in settlement of
transactions on TSX.”


(c)           If required by the
authorities of any state or province in connection with the issuance of sale of
the Notes, the legend required by such state or provincial authority.

6.7.          Investor Status.  At the time such Purchaser was offered the
Notes, it was, and at the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as
defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, as amended, under the 1933 Act, and has
completed and delivered with this Agreement the U.S. Accredited Investor
Certificate attached as Schedule III,
the representations and warranties contained in such certificate being
incorporated and forming part of this Agreement, and it was, and at the
date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in NI 45-106, and has
completed and delivered with this Agreement the Canadian Accredited Investor
Certificate attached as Schedule IV,
the representations and warranties contained in such certificate being
incorporated and forming part of this Agreement.  The Purchaser is a resident of that
jurisdiction specified in its address on the Schedule of Purchasers attached
hereto.


6.8.          No General
Solicitation.  The Purchaser did not
learn of the investment in the Notes as a result of any “general advertising”
or “general solicitation” as those terms are contemplated in Regulation D, as
amended, under the 1933 Act.


6.9.          Brokers and
Finders.  No Person will have, as a
result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any valid right,
interest or claim against or upon the Company, or any Purchaser for any
commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or
understanding entered into by or on behalf of the Purchaser.


6.10.        Prohibited Transactions.  During the last thirty (30) days prior to the
Execution Date, neither the Purchaser nor any Affiliate of such Purchaser that
(x) has or had knowledge of the transactions contemplated hereby, (y) has or
shares discretion relating to such Purchaser’s investments or trading or
information concerning such Purchaser’s investments, including in respect of
the Notes, or (z) is subject to such Purchaser’s review or input concerning
such Affiliate’s investments or trading (collectively, “Trading Affiliates”) has, directly or
indirectly, effected or agreed to effect any transactions in the securities of
the Company, including any short sale, whether or not against the box,

(including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to the
Common Shares or with respect to any security that includes, relates to or
derived any significant part of its value from the Common Shares or otherwise
sought to hedge its position in the Notes (each, a “Prohibited Transaction”).  Such Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its
Trading Affiliates not to, engage, directly or indirectly, in a Prohibited
Transaction during the period from the date hereof until such time as (i) the
closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly
announced or (ii) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.3
hereof.


6.11         Limited Ownership.  The purchase by such Purchaser of the Notes
issuable to it at the Closing will not result in such Purchaser (individually
or together with other Person with whom such Purchaser has identified, or will
have identified, itself as part of a “group” in a public filing made with the
SEC involving the Company’s securities) acquiring, or obtaining the right to
acquire, in excess of 19.999% of the outstanding Common Shares or the voting
power of the Company on a post transaction basis that assumes that such Closing
shall have occurred or otherwise becoming a “control person” of the Company as
such term is defined under applicable securities laws.  Such Purchaser does not presently intend to,
alone or together with others, make a public filing with the SEC to disclose
that it has (or that it together with such 



 33
 









other Persons have) acquired, or obtained the right to
acquire, as a result of such Closing (when added to any other securities of the
Company that it or they then own or have the right to acquire), in excess of
19.999% of the outstanding Common Shares or the voting power of the Company on
a post transaction basis that assumes that the Closing at issue shall have
occurred.


6.12.        Independent Investment Decision.  Such Purchaser has independently evaluated
the merits of its decision to purchase Notes pursuant to the Note Documents,
and such Purchaser confirms that it has not relied on the advice of any other
Purchaser’s business and/or legal counsel in making such decision.  Such Purchaser has not relied on the business
or legal advice of the Company or the Placement Agents or any of their agents,
counsel or Affiliates in making its investment decision hereunder.


6.13.        Use of Personal Information.  The Purchaser hereby acknowledges and
consents to: (a) the disclosure by the Purchaser and the Company of Personal
Information concerning the Purchaser to a securities commission or other
regulatory authority (a “Securities Commission”),
or to AMEX or TSX and its affiliates, authorized agents, subsidiaries and
divisions (collectively referred to in this section as the “Exchange”), and any subsequent
public disclosure of Personal Information concerning the Purchaser made by a
Securities Commission or by an Exchange; and (b) the collection, use and

(or as otherwise identified by the Exchange, from time to time): (i) to conduct

by and to ensure compliance with all applicable rules, policies, rulings and
regulations of the Exchange, securities legislation and other legal and
regulatory requirements governing the conduct and protection of the public
markets in the United States and Canada. 
The Purchaser also acknowledges that: (c) the Exchange may also collect
additional Personal Information from other sources, including securities
regulatory authorities or elsewhere, investigative law enforcement or self

the Ontario Securities Commission (the “OSC”) and
that such personal information is being collected indirectly by the OSC under
the authority granted to it in securities legislation for the purposes of the
administration and enforcement of the securities legislation of Ontario. The

OSC, and acknowledges that questions about such indirect collection of personal

Ontario M5H 3S8 or to the following telephone number: (416) 593-8086.  Herein, “Personal Information”

and the Purchaser acknowledges that the Company may in the future be required

this Agreement pursuant to the PCMLA.  To
the best of its knowledge (a) none of the funds representing such Aggregate Purchase Price for the

relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in

Related Matters.  Promptly following

reports relating to the offer and sale of the Notes required under applicable
securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States following the
Closing Date.


8.9.          Removal of Legends.  Upon the earlier of (i) registration for
resale of the Common Shares issued upon conversion of the Notes pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement and receipt by the Company of the Purchaser’s
written confirmation that such Common Shares have been disposed of in
compliance with the prospectus filed with such registration statement and the
prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act or (ii) delivery to the
Company of a representation letter in customary form that Rule 144(k) has
become available, 



 39
 









the Company shall,
upon a Purchaser’s written request, promptly cause certificates evidencing the
Purchaser’s Common Shares issued upon conversion of the Notes to be replaced
with certificates which do not bear the restrictive legend appearing in the
first paragraph of Section 6.6(b). 
The restrictive legend appearing in the second paragraph of Section
6.6(b) may be removed at the time of a transfer occurring on or after the
date specified therein.  The restrictive
legend appearing in the third paragraph of Section 6.6(b) may be removed
at such time as both the first and second paragraphs have been removed or are
eligible for removal.  When the Company
is required to cause unlegended certificates to replace previously issued
legended certificates, if unlegended certificates are not delivered to a
Purchaser within three (3) Business Days of submission by that Purchaser of
legended certificate(s) to the Company’s transfer agent together with a
representation letter in customary form, the Company shall be liable to the
Purchaser for damages in an amount equal to 1.0% of the Aggregate Purchase
Price of the Notes evidenced by such certificate(s) for each thirty (30) day
period (or portion thereof) beyond such three (3) Business Day that the
unlegended certificates have not been so delivered.


8.10.        Consent of JPMorgan Chase Bank.  The Company shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts, acting diligently and in good faith, to obtain consent of
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. with respect to the Private Placement and the
transactions contemplated by the Note Documents as soon as practicable.


8.11.        Shareholder Approval.  The Company shall provide each shareholder
entitled to vote at a special or annual meeting of shareholders of the Company
(the “Shareholder Meeting”),
which initially shall be promptly called and held not later than March 31, 2007
(the “Shareholder Meeting Deadline”),
a proxy statement, substantially in the form which has been previously reviewed
by the Purchasers and Placement Agents Counsel at the expense of the Company,
soliciting each such shareholder’s affirmative vote at the Shareholder Meeting
for approval of resolutions (the “Resolutions”)
providing for the Company’s issuance of all of the Notes and Common Shares upon
conversion thereof as described in the Note Documents in accordance with
applicable law and the rules and regulations of the Exchange (such affirmative
approval being referred to herein as the “Shareholder
Approval” and the date such approval is obtained, the “Shareholder Approval Date”), and the
Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit its
shareholders’ approval of the Resolutions and to cause the Board to recommend
to the shareholders that they approve the Resolutions.  The Company shall
be obligated to seek to obtain the Shareholder Approval by the Shareholder
Meeting Deadline.  If, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable
efforts, the Shareholder Approval is not obtained on or prior to the
Shareholder Meeting Deadline, then, subject to Section 7.3(a)(vi), the
Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such
Shareholder Approval on a quarterly basis until Shareholder Approval is
obtained.


8.12.        Pledge of Securities.  The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the Notes or Common Shares upon conversion
thereof may be pledged by a Purchaser in connection with a bona fide margin
agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Notes
or Common Shares.  The pledge of such Notes or Common Shares shall not be
deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the securities hereunder; provided
that Purchaser acknowledges that if the Company is deemed to be a PFIC (as
defined below) then such pledge will be a taxable disposition for U.S. tax
purposes.  No Purchaser effecting a
pledge of Notes or Common Shares shall be required to provide the Company with
any notice thereof or otherwise 



 40
 









make any delivery
to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Note Document.  The
Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of
the Notes or Common Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge
of the Notes or Common Shares to such pledgee by a Purchaser.


8.13.        Reservation of Common Shares. 
The Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized,
and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than the sum of 130% of the
maximum number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes (assuming
for purposes hereof, that the Notes are convertible at the Conversion Price).


8.14.        No Future Integrated Offerings.  None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, their
Affiliates and any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps
referred to in Section 5.23 that would require registration of any of the Notes
or Common Shares (other than for resale) upon conversion thereof under the 1933
Act.


8.15.        Reporting Status. Until the later
of the date on which none of the Notes are outstanding or the Purchasers shall
have sold all the Common Shares upon conversion of the Notes (the “Reporting Period”), the Company shall
timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the 1934
Act and with Canadian securities regulators pursuant to Canadian securities
laws, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to
file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and
regulations thereunder would no longer require or otherwise permit such
termination. From and after the Closing Date, the Company shall take all
actions necessary to maintain its eligibility to register the Common Shares for
resale by the Purchasers on Form S-1 or whatever registration form is then
available to the Company and will register the Common Shares for resale in
accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement.


8.16.        Financial Information. The
Company agrees to send the following to each Purchaser during the Reporting
Period (i) unless the following are filed with the SEC through EDGAR and are
available to the public through the EDGAR system, within one (1) Business Day
after the filing thereof with the SEC, a copy of its Annual Reports and
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-K, 10-KSB, 10-Q or 10-QSB, any interim reports or
any consolidated balance sheets, income statements, stockholders’ equity
statements and/or cash flow statements for any period other than annual, any
Current Reports on Form 8-K and any registration statements (other than on Form
S-8) or amendments filed pursuant to the 1933 Act and (ii) copies of any
notices and other information made available or given to the shareholders of
the Company generally, contemporaneously with the making available or giving
thereof to the shareholders.


8.17.        Disclosure. Upon receipt or delivery by the Company of
any notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, unless the Company
has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not
constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its
Subsidiaries, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day after any such
receipt or delivery publicly disclose such material, nonpublic information on a
Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise. In the event that the Company believes
that a notice contains material, nonpublic information relating to the Company
or its Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to the Purchasers
contemporaneously with delivery of such notice, and in the absence of any such
indication, the Purchasers shall be allowed to presume that all matters 



 41
 









relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic
information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries.


8.18.        Assumption.
The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction
unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes (in addition to the Company, if the
Company then remains in existence) in writing all of the obligations of the
Company under this Agreement and the other Note Documents in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 8.18 pursuant to written agreements in
form and substance satisfactory to the Requisite Holders and approved by the
Requisite Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction; and (ii) to following
the Fundamental Transaction, the Company shall be able to deliver to
Purchasers, upon conversion of the Notes, securities that are prescribed
securities under Regulation 6208 of the Income Tax Act
(Canada).  Upon consummation of the
Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Purchasers
confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion of the Notes at any
time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, either Common
Shares or shares of common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity,
as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 8.18
shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and
shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the
Notes.


8.19.        Pre-Emptive Rights.


(a)           If the Company intends, directly or indirectly, to offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition of) any of its equity or equity equivalent securities, including without limitation any debt, preferred shares or other instrument or security that is, at any time during its life and under any circumstances, convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for its Common Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into its Common Shares, other than pursuant to the Series A Note Offering or Common Shares issued for strategic investments or bona fide acquisitions, firmly underwritten public offerings with gross proceeds in excess of US $50,000,000 and any Approved Shares Plan (any such offer, sale, grant, disposition or announcement being referred to as a “Subsequent Placement”), the Company shall have first complied with this Section 8.19.
(b)           The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser, so long as such Purchaser is then a holder of outstanding Notes, a written notice (the “Offer Notice”) of any proposed or intended issuance or sale (the “Offer”) of the securities being offered (the “Offered Securities”) in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (w) identify and describe the Offered Securities, (x) describe the price and other terms upon which they are to be issued or sold, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be issued or sold, (y) identify the persons or entities (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued or sold and (z) offer to issue and sell to such Purchasers, so long as such Purchasers are then a holder of outstanding Notes, an aggregate amount representing thirty percent (30%) of the amount of the Subsequent Placement, to be allocated among such Purchasers (i) based on such Purchaser’s Allocation Percentage (the “Basic Amount”), and (ii) with respect to each Purchaser that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other Purchasers as such Purchaser shall indicate it will 

 42
 







purchase or acquire should the other Purchasers subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription Amount”).
(c)           To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Purchaser must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the end of the second (2nd) Business Day by 5:00 p.m New York City time after such Purchaser’s receipt of the Offer Notice containing the final definitive terms of the Subsequent Placement (the “Offer Period”), setting forth the portion of such Purchaser’s Basic Amount that such Purchaser elects to purchase and, if such Purchaser shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Purchaser elects to purchase (in either case, the “Notice Of Acceptance”). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Purchasers are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Purchaser who has set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, that if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “Available Undersubscription Amount”), each Purchaser who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Purchaser bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Purchasers that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by the Company to the extent its deems reasonably necessary.


(d)           If
the Purchasers, collectively, do not elect to purchase 30% of the Subsequent
Placement which may be purchased by such Purchasers pursuant to this Section
8.19, the Issuer may offer and sell the securities to which the Purchasers
were entitled to purchase hereunder, or the securities not purchasable by the
Purchasers hereunder, as the case may be, to a third party (which may include
any Purchaser), provided that such sale must occur within thirty (30)
days of the Subsequent Placement Closing Date and on the same terms and
conditions set forth in the Offer Notice. Any such sale made after such
thirty-day period, or on terms or conditions different than the terms set forth
in the Offer Note, must again be offered to the Purchasers in accordance with Section
8.19 above.  Each purchase of
securities by Purchasers pursuant to this Section 8.19 shall take place
on the Subsequent Placement Closing Date


8.20.        Change
of Control Repayment Right.


(a)           No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten
(10) days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, but not prior to
the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver
written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Purchasers,
which notice shall include an offer to repay the Notes for the Change of
Control Prepayment Price, as defined below (a “Change of Control Notice”). At any time during the period
(the “Change of Control Period”)
beginning after a Purchaser’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending
on the date that is twenty (20) Trading Days after the consummation of such
Change of Control, such Purchaser may accept the Company’ offer to prepay all
or any portion of such Purchaser’s Notes by delivering written notice thereof
(“Change of Control Prepayment Notice”)
to the Company, which Change of Control Prepayment Notice shall indicate the
Conversion Amount the Purchaser is electing to receive payment of. Any Notes
subject to prepayment pursuant to this Section 8.20 shall be prepayed by
the Company in cash at a price equal to the greater of (i) the product of (A)
the Change of 



 43
 









Control
Prepayment Premium and (B) the Conversion Amount being prepayed and (ii) (1)
the product of (A) the Conversion Amount being prepayed multiplied by (B) the
quotient determined by dividing (I) the aggregate cash consideration and the
aggregate cash value of any non-cash consideration per Common Share to be paid
to the holders of the Common Shares upon consummation of the Change of Control
(any such non-cash consideration consisting of marketable securities to be
valued at the higher of (x) the Closing Sale Price of such securities as of the
Trading Day immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control,
(y) the Closing Sale Price as of the Trading Day immediately following the
public announcement of such proposed Change of Control and (z) the Closing Sale
Price as of the Trading Day immediately prior to the public announcement of
such proposed Change of Control) by (II) the Conversion Price (the “Change of Control Prepayment Price”).


(b)           The
Company shall, subject to the terms and conditions of any Senior Debt then
outstanding, make payment in cash of the Change of Control Prepayment Price
concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such a Change
of Control Redemption Notice is received prior to the consummation of such
Change of Control and within five (5) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt
of such notice otherwise (the “Change of
Control Prepayment Date”). To the extent redemptions required by
this Section 8.20 are deemed or determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Notes by the Company, such redemptions
shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments.


(c)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 8.20, until the Change of
Control Prepayment Price is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for
Prepayment under this Section 8.20 may be converted, in whole or in
part, by the Purchaser into Common Shares, or in the event the Conversion Date
is after the consummation of the Change of Control, shares or equity interests
of the Successor Entity substantially equivalent to the Company’s Common Shares
pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(i).


(d)           The
parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s prepayment of any
portion of the Notes under this Section 8.20, the Purchaser’s damages
would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability
to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a
suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Purchaser. Accordingly, any
prepayment premium due under this Section 8.20 is intended by the
parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Purchaser’s
actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. In the event
that the Company does not pay the Change of Control Prepayment Price on the
Change of Control Prepayment Date, then the Purchaser shall have the option to,
in lieu of prepayment, require the Company to promptly return to such Purchaser
any or all of the Notes that were submitted for prepayment by such Purchaser
under this Section 8.20 and for which the applicable Change of Control
Prepayment Price (together with any interest thereon) has not been paid, by
sending written notice thereof to the Company via facsimile (the “Void Change of Control Prepayment Notice”).
Upon the Company’s receipt of such Void Change of Control Prepayment Notice,
(i) the Change of Control Prepayment Notice shall be null and void with respect
to those Notes subject to the Void Change of Control Prepayment Notice,
(ii) the Company shall immediately return any Notes subject to the Void
Change of Control Prepayment Notice, and (iii) the Conversion Price of such
returned Notes shall be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price as
in effect on the date on which the Void Change of Control Prepayment Notice is
delivered to the Company and 



 44
 









(B) the
lowest Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares during the period beginning
on the date on which the Change of Control Prepayment Notice is delivered to
the Company and ending on the date on which the Void Change of Control
Prepayment Notice is delivered to the Company.


8.21.        Tax Matters.  The
Company and, by its acceptance of the Note or a beneficial interest therein,
each Purchaser (and any person that acquires a beneficial interest in) a Note,
agree to treat the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes as indebtedness
of the Company that is not subject to the rules governing contingent payment
debt instruments under U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4.


8.22.        PFIC Status.  The Company shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to ensure that it does not become a passive foreign investment company
(a “PFIC”) within the meaning of
Section 1297 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  If
the Company determines that it is a PFIC for any taxable year in which the Notes
are outstanding, it shall notify the Purchasers of such determination as soon
as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than the 45th day following
the close of such taxable year.  If the Company becomes a PFIC, the
Company agrees to provide all information requested by any Purchaser that is
necessary for such Purchaser to make a “qualified electing fund”
election.  The Company’s obligation under this Section 8.22 shall
survive until the 180th day following the close of the last taxable year of the
Company in which any Notes are outstanding


9.             Defaults and Remedies.


9.1.          Event of Default. An “Event of Default” shall be deemed to
have occurred at such time as any of the following events:


(a)           the Company defaults in the payment
when due of interest (and Additional Amounts, if any) on the Notes and such
default continues for a period of 30 days;


(b)           the Company defaults in the payment
when due of principal on the Notes when the same becomes due and payable upon
the earlier of:  (i) the Maturity Date, or
(ii) such other date as the Note becomes due and payable or purchasable or
redeemable pursuant to this Agreement;


(c)           the Company fails to observe or
perform any other covenant or other agreement in this Agreement (other than the
delivery of a Change of Control Notice as required by Section 8.20
hereof), the Notes or the other Note Documents for 30 days after notice to the
Company by the Purchasers of at least 50% in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding;


(d)           the
entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (i) a decree or order
for relief in respect of the Company or any Subsidiary of a voluntary case or
proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar law or (ii) a decree or order adjudging the
Company or any Subsidiary as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly
filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
of or in respect of the Company or any Subsidiary under any 



 45
 









applicable
Federal or State law or (iii) appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator,
assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or any
Subsidiary or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding
up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or
order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a
period of 60 consecutive days;


(e)           the
commencement by the Company or any Subsidiary of a voluntary case or proceeding
under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a
bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order
for relief in respect of the Company or any Subsidiary in an involuntary case
or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or
insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or
answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal
or State law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the
appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator,
assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or any
Subsidiary or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of
an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing
of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking
of corporate action by the Company or any Subsidiary in furtherance of any such
action;


(f)            a
default occurs with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, and any applicable grace periods in such Indebtedness with
respect to such event of default shall have expired and which default results
in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its stated maturity; provided
that (i) if such event of default is waived by the holders of such Indebtedness
prior to any Purchaser taking any action pursuant to this Agreement, no Event
of Default under this clause (f) shall be deemed to have occurred, or (ii) the
principal amount of such Indebtedness under which the maturity has been so
accelerated exceeds US$500,000;


(g)           a
final money judgment for more than US$500,000 is issued and not discharged
within 60 days; or


(h)           the
Company fails to deliver a Change of Control Notice as required by Section
8.20 by the date that is ten (10) Trading Days after the consummation of
such Change of Control.


9.2.          Notice.  Within one (1) Business Day after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company shall deliver written notice
thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Event of Default”) to each Purchaser. 


9.3.          Default
Interest.  If any Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the holders of the Notes shall be entitled to
receive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest on the outstanding
balance of, overdue interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes at a
rate per annum equal to 12%.



 46















9.4.          Acceleration.  If any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and subject to the Subordination Agreement, the Requisite Holders
may, without notice: (i) declare all or any portion of the Notes immediately
due and payable, all without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of
any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Company and each of its
Subsidiaries; or (ii) exercise any other rights and remedies provided to
Purchasers under the Note Documents or at law or equity.


9.5.          Redemption Option Upon Event of
Default.


(a)           In
addition to all other rights of the Purchasers contained herein, after a Event
of Default, each Purchaser shall have the right, at such Purchaser’s option, to
require the Company to redeem all or a portion of such Purchaser’s Notes at a
redemption price per Note equal to the greater of (i) 110% of the Conversion
Amount and (ii) the product of (A) the Conversion Rate in effect at such time
as such Purchaser delivers a Notice of Redemption at Option of Purchaser (as defined
below) and (B) the greater of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares on
the Trading Day immediately preceding such Event of Default, the Closing Sale
Price of the Common Shares on the day immediately following such Event of
Default and the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares on the date the
Purchaser delivers the Notice of Redemption at Option of Purchaser (the “Redemption Price”).


(b)           At
any time after the earlier of a Purchaser’s receipt of a Notice of Event of
Default and such Purchaser becoming aware of a Event of Default, any Purchaser
of Notes then outstanding may require the Company to redeem up to all of such
Purchaser’s Notes by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and
overnight courier (“Notice of Redemption
at Option of Purchaser”) to the Company, which Notice of
Redemption at Option of Purchaser shall indicate the number of Notes that such
Purchaser is electing to redeem.


(c)           Upon
the Company’s receipt of a Notice(s) of Redemption at Option of Purchaser from
any Purchaser, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day of such receipt
notify each other Purchaser by facsimile of the Company’s receipt of such
notice(s). The Company shall, subject to the terms and conditions of any Senior
Debt then outstanding, make payment in cash on the fifth (5th) Business Day
after the Company’s receipt of the first Notice of Redemption at Option of
Purchaser of the applicable Redemption Price (the “Event of Default Redemption Date”) to
all Purchasers that deliver a Notice of Redemption at Option of Purchaser prior
to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Company’s receipt of the first Notice
of Redemption at Option of Purchaser. To the extent redemptions required by
this Section 9.5 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be prepayments of the Notes by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed
to be voluntary prepayments. If the Company is unable to redeem all of the
Notes submitted for redemption, the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from
each Purchaser based on the aggregate principal amount of Notes submitted for
redemption by such Purchaser relative to the total number of Notes submitted
for redemption by all Purchasers. The Purchasers and Company agree that in the
event of the Company’s redemption of any Notes under this Section 9.5,
the Purchasers’ damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of
the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of
the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the
Purchasers. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 9.5
is intended by the parties to be, 



 47
 









and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the
Purchasers’ actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.


(d)           In
the event that the Company does not pay the Redemption Price within the time
period set forth in Section 9.5(f), at any time thereafter and until the
Company pays such unpaid applicable Redemption Price in full, a Purchaser shall
have the option to, in lieu of redemption, require the Company to promptly
return to such Purchaser any or all of the Notes that were submitted for
redemption by such Purchaser under this Section 3 and for which the applicable
Redemption Price has not been paid, by sending written notice thereof to the
Company via facsimile (the “Void Optional
Redemption Notice”). Upon the Company’s receipt of such Void
Optional Redemption Notice, (i) the Notice of Redemption at Option of Purchaser
shall be null and void with respect to those Notes subject to the Void Optional
Redemption Notice, (ii) the Company shall immediately return any Notes subject
to the Void Optional Redemption Notice, and (iii) the Conversion Price of such
returned Notes shall be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price as
in effect on the date on which the Void Optional Redemption Notice is delivered
to the Company and (B) the lowest Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares
during the period beginning on the date on which the Notice of Redemption at
Option of Purchaser is delivered to the Company and ending on the date on which
the Void Optional Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company.


(e)           In
the event of a dispute as to the determination of the arithmetic calculation of
the Redemption Price, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section
4.1(b)(iii) with the term “Redemption Price” being substituted for the term
“Conversion Rate”. A Purchaser’s delivery of a Void Optional Redemption Notice
and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company’s
obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such
notice. In the event of a redemption pursuant to this Section 9.5 of
less than all of the Notes represented by a particular Note tendered for
partial redemption, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered
to the Purchaser of such Notes a new Note representing the remaining principal
amount of the Notes which have not been redeemed, if necessary.


10.           Registration and Transfer of Notes.


10.1.        Note
Register.  The Company shall maintain
at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the
Company as it may designate by notice to the Purchasers), a register for the
Notes, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the persons in
whose name the Notes have been issued, as well as the name and address of each
transferee. The Company shall treat the person in whose name any Note is
registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes,
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any
properly made transfers.  The Company
shall only pay principal and interest to the registered owners of the Notes.


10.2.        Transfer and Conversion of Note.  Upon surrender of one or more Notes for registration
of transfer or for exchange to the Company at their principal office with
evidence that all applicable transfer taxes have been paid and that such transfer is in compliance with
applicable securities laws, the Company at their expense will execute
and deliver in exchange therefore one or more Notes in the aggregate unpaid
principal amount(s) of such surrendered 



 48
 









Note(s).  Each such new Note shall be registered in the
name of such Person, or its nominee, as such Purchaser or transferee may request,
dated so that there will be no loss of interest on such surrendered Note and
otherwise of like tenor. Transfer of the Notes may be effected only in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 10.2.


10.3.        Lost
or Stolen Notes. Upon receipt
by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of any Notes, and, in the case of loss, theft
or destruction, of an indemnification undertaking by the Purchaser to the
Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation of such Notes, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Note of
like tenor and date; provided, however, the Company shall not be
obligated to re-issue such new Note if the Purchaser contemporaneously requests
the Company to convert such Notes into Common Shares.


11.           Survival
and Indemnification.


11.1.        Survival.  All representations, warranties, covenants
and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date for a
period of twelve (12) months; provided, however, that the
provisions contained in Section 4.3 and Section 8 hereof shall
survive in accordance therewith and the representations contained in Section
5.12 shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of
limitations.


11.2.        Indemnification.  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless, each Purchaser and their respective Affiliates and the directors,
officers, employees and agents of each Purchaser and their respective
Affiliates, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorney fees and
disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating,
preparing or defending any action, claim or proceeding, pending or threatened
and the costs of enforcement hereof) (collectively, “Losses”) to which such Person may become subject as
a result of any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made
by, or to be performed on the part of, the Company under the Note Documents,
and will reimburse any such Person for all such amounts as they are incurred by
such Person.


11.3.        Conduct of
Indemnification Proceedings.  Promptly after
receipt by any Person (the “Indemnified Person”) of notice of any demand, claim or
circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of
any action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be
sought pursuant to Section 11.2, such Indemnified Person shall promptly
notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof,
including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified
Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided,
however,  that the failure
of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the
Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is
actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to notify.  In any such proceeding, any Indemnified
Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person
unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed
to the retention of such counsel; or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel
to such Indemnified Person representation of both parties by the same counsel
would be 



 49
 









inappropriate
due to actual or potential differing interests between them.  The Company shall not be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditions, but if there
be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Company shall indemnify and hold
harmless such Indemnified Person from and against any Losses by reason of such
judgment.  Without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Person, the Company shall not effect any settlement
of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified
Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought
hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an
unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out
of such proceeding.


12.           Miscellaneous.


12.1.        Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement may not be assigned by a party

rights and delegate its duties hereunder in whole or in part to an Affiliate or
to a third party, that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of

12.6.        Amendments
and Waivers.  Any term of this
Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement shall
not be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively), without the prior written consent of the
Company and the Requisite Holders; provided, however, that any
provision hereof which impairs the rights or increases the obligations of a
specific Purchaser disproportionately to other Purchasers shall not be amended
or waived without the prior written consent of the Company 



 52
 









and that particular Purchaser.   Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance
with this Section 12.6 shall be binding upon each holder of any Notes
purchased under this Agreement at the time outstanding, each future holder of
all such Notes, and the Company.


12.7.        Publicity.  No public release or announcement concerning
the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by the Purchasers without
the prior consent of the Company, which consents shall not be unreasonably
withheld, except as such release or announcement may be required by law or the
applicable rules or regulations of any securities exchange or securities

required by law or trading market regulations.


12.8.        Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof but shall be interpreted as if it
were written so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.  To the extent
permitted by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any provision of law which
renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.


12.9.        Entire
Agreement.  This Agreement, including

obligations of a Purchaser under any nondisclosure agreement or confidentiality
letter entered into by such Purchaser in connection with the offering of the
Notes shall continue to apply in accordance with the terms thereof.



 53
 









12.10.      Further
Assurances.  The parties shall

Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.  This

that would result in the application of the laws of any other
jurisdiction.  Each of the parties hereto
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of
New York located in New York County and the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action,
proceeding or judgment relating to or arising out of this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby.

proceeding may be served on each party hereto anywhere in the world by the same
methods as are specified for the giving of notices under this Agreement.  Each of the parties hereto irrevocably
consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or
proceeding and to the laying of venue in such court.  Each party hereto irrevocably waives any
objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought
in such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or
proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.


12.12.      SUBORDINATION.


(a)           NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT, DOCUMENT, CERTIFICATE, OR INSTRUMENT GIVEN IN
CONNECTION WITH, RELATED TO OR AFFECTING THE NOTES, the Company’s obligation to
make, and the Purchasers right to receive, any interest payments or
distribution (whether in cash, securities (other than Common Shares issuable
upon conversion of the Notes) or other property) or any direct or indirect
payment of any kind or character (whether in cash, securities (other than
Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes) or other property) in
consideration for or otherwise in connection the Notes, including, without
limitation, any amortization, retirement, purchase, redemption or other
acquisition of any Note, or any options, warrants or rights to purchase or
acquire any Notes or Common Shares of the Company (collectively, the “Restricted Payments”) are strictly
junior and fully subordinated to the right of payment held by the holders of
the Senior Debt (the “Senior Debt Holders”).
If a default (however defined) under any document, instrument, or other
agreement in any way related to the Senior Debt, whether such document, instrument,
or other agreement exists on the Closing Date or is entered into after the
Closing Date, exists at the time a Restricted Payment is to be made or would
exist as a result of such Restricted Payment being made, (i) the Company shall
not make, and no Purchaser is entitled to receive, any Restricted Payment
unless and until the “Payment in Full of the Senior Debt” (as defined below);
and (ii) no Purchaser shall be entitled to ask, demand, sue for, take or
receive from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, in
cash or other property, or by set-off or in any other manner (including without
limitation from or by way of collateral) payment of any Restricted Payment
unless and until the Payment in Full of the Senior Debt.



 54
 









(b)           The subordination of the rights of the Purchasers to the
Senior Debt Holders shall be effective both before and after the commencement
of any Insolvency Proceeding (as defined below). All references in this Section
12.12 to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall include such entity
as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such entity in any
Insolvency Proceeding.


(c)           As between the Purchasers and the Senior Debt Holders and
without releasing or affecting any of its senior rights as to the Purchasers,
any Senior Debt Holder may, one or more times, in its sole discretion, without
notice to or the consent of any Purchaser, take any action with respect to the
Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Senior Debt, including, without
limitation, one or more of the following actions: (i) extend credit to the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries in such amounts as such Senior Debt Holder
may determine or withhold credit from the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries;  (ii) release, renew or modify the obligations of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other person or entity obligated on
any of the Senior Debt; (iii) release, exchange, modify, or surrender in whole
or in part such Senior Debt Holder’s rights with respect to any security for any
of the Senior Debt; (iv) modify or alter the term, interest rate or due date of
any payment of any of the Senior Debt; (v) grant any postponements,
compromises, indulgences, waivers, surrenders or discharges or modify the terms
of its agreements with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (vi) change its
manner of doing business with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any
other person or entity; (vii) obtain additional security for the Senior Debt;
or (viii) impute payments or proceeds of any security furnished for any of the
Senior Debt, in whole or in part, to any of the Senior Debt, or retain the
payments or proceeds as security for the Senior Debt without applying same
toward payment of the Senior Debt. Each
Purchaser waives and releases all claims and defenses arising from any such
actions by any holder of Senior Debt, including, without limitation, claims and
defenses relating to the inability to collect any Restricted Payment.
No Senior Debt Holder will be liable for any action or failure to act under or
in connection with any of the documents or instruments evidencing or securing
the Senior Debt, it being understood that the decision of whether and when to
act and the manner of proceeding under such instruments and documents are
within the sole discretion of such Senior Debt Holders, and shall not be
affected in any manner by the existence of the Company’s obligations hereunder.


(d)           For purposes hereof, “Payment
in Full of the Senior Debt” means the satisfaction of all of the
following: (i) the passage of 90 days after the indefeasible and final payment
in full in cash of the Senior Debt, (ii) the termination of all hedging
transactions with any Senior Debt Holder, (iii) the termination or expiration
of all commitments of each Senior Debt Holder to advance funds or issue letters
of credit, and (iv) the termination or expiration and return of all letters of
credit issued by any Senior Debt Holder. For purposes hereof, “Insolvency Proceeding” means any
distribution of all or any of the assets of any entity to creditors of such
entity upon the dissolution, winding up, liquidation, arrangement,
reorganization, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of such entity
or its debts, whether in any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization,
receivership, relief or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of
such entity or otherwise.



 55
 









(e)            In the event there is a conflict between the provisions
in this Section 12.12 and the provisions of the Subordination Agreement,
the Subordination Agreement shall control.
