      purposes of determining whether a U.S. Purchaser is an Affiliate U.S.
      Purchaser, a Non-Affiliate U.S. Purchaser or an Affiliate Non-U.S.
      Purchaser under this section 4, beneficial ownership shall be calculated
      in accordance with Section 13(d) of the U.S. Exchange Act, and the rules
      and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, disregarding for this
      purpose the limitation on conversion described in Section 4(i) and similar
      limitation on conversion or exercise contained in any other Common Stock
      Equivalent, in each case, held by such holder and its affiliates and such
      other person or persons with whom such Holder may be deemed to be a Group. For purposes of Section
4(i), in determining the number of outstanding Shares, a holder may rely on the
number of outstanding Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent
report filed with the SEC, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company
or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting
forth the number of Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a
holder, the Company shall within two Business Days confirm orally and in writing

	 	(h) 	
      Voluntary Conversion. Subject to the
      restrictions in Sections 4(i), 4(j) and 4(k), the Special Warrants may be
      voluntarily exercised by their holder at any time prior to their deemed
      exercise by delivery of an exercise form to the Company. In such event the
      certificate representing the Underlying Shares will bear any restrictive
      legends required by applicable Securities Laws.

	 	 	 
	 	(i) 	
      Automatic 9.99% Blocker Restrictions for Affiliate
      and Electing Purchasers. No exercise of any Special Warrants by
      (i) any Affiliate U.S. Purchaser, or (ii) any Affiliate Non-U.S. Purchaser
      that has elected to be governed by this Section 4(i), together with the
      respective holder’s affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group
      together with the respective holder or any of the respective holder’s
      affiliates, will be permitted to the extent that, after giving effect to
      such exercise, such Holder would beneficially own in excess of the
      Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). To the extent that the
      limitation contained in this Section 4(i) applies, the determination of
      whether the Special Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other
      securities owned by the holder together with any affiliates) and of which
      portion of this Special Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole
      discretion of the holder, and the submission of a notice of exercise shall
      be deemed to be the holder’s determination that the Special Warrant is
      exercisable in accordance with the terms hereof (in relation to other
      securities owned by the holder together with any affiliates) and of which
      portion of the Special Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the
      Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation
      to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. The “Beneficial
      Ownership Limitation” of this Section 4(i) shall be 9.99% of the number of
      Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of
      Shares issuable upon exercise of the Special Warrant. The holder, upon not
      less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease
      the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(i),
      subject to 4(k) and the provisions of this Section 4(i) shall continue to
      apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st
      day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this
      paragraph shall not be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise
      than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(i) to correct
      this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or
      inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein
      contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to
      properly give effect to such limitation.

	 	 	 
	 	(j) 	
      4.99% Blocker Restriction for Electing
      Non-Affiliate Purchasers. No exercise of any Special Warrants by
      any Non-Affiliate U.S. Purchaser or any Non-U.S. Purchaser that has
      elected to be governed by this Section 4(j), together with the respective
      holder’s affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with
      the respective holder or any of the respective holder’s affiliates, will
      be permitted to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise,
      such Holder would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership
      Limitation (as defined below). The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” of
      this Section 4(j) shall be 4.99% of the number of Shares outstanding
      immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Shares issuable upon
      exercise of the Special Warrant. The balance of the provisions set forth
      above in Section 4(i) shall apply “mutatis mutandis” to this Section
      4(j).

	 	 	 
	 	(k) 	
      Exercise Restriction Applicable to All Holders At
      All Times. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions regarding
      conversion of Special Warrants, unless the Company’s Shareholders Rights
      Plan has been terminated, no Holder’s Special Warrants may at any time,
      voluntarily or automatically, be exercised in circumstances where the
      Shares issued on exercise thereof would, when aggregated with the other
      Shares beneficially owned by such Holder or any
  applicable Group of which the Holder is a member, exceed 19.99% of the
number of Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of
Shares upon exercise of such Special Warrants.

	 	(l) 	
      Adjustment Provisions. There are no
      anti-dilution provisions. The number of Underlying Shares issuable upon
      exercise of the Special Warrants will be subject to customary adjustment
      provisions relating to corporate actions or transactions affecting all
      outstanding Shares such as splits and reverse-splits, mergers, stock
      dividend, all of which will be more particularly to be set out in the
      Special Warrant Certificate.

reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all such other steps and
proceedings, including fulfilling all legal, regulatory and other requirements,
as required under applicable legislation to qualify the distribution of the

      applicable resale restrictions or hold periods and will comply with all
      relevant Securities Laws in connection with any resale of the Special
      Warrants;

      DATE THAT IS FOUR MONTHS AND ONE DAY FROM CLOSING].”
  



Additionally, the Subscriber is aware
that any certificates representing the Special Warrants and any Underlying
Shares issued to the Subscriber will be endorsed with a legend setting out
resale restrictions pursuant to policies of the TSX in substantially the
following form: 


	
      “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE
      ARE LISTED ON THE TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE (“TSX”); HOWVER THE

      would constitute a default under, any term or provision of any constating
      documents, by-laws or resolutions of the Subscriber or any indenture,

      Additional Acknowledgements. The Subscriber
      acknowledges and agrees that:




	 	(a) 	
      no securities commission or similar regulatory authority
      has received or passed on the merits of the Securities;

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      there is no government or other insurance covering the
      Securities;

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      there are risks associated with the purchase of the
      Special Warrants;

	 	 	 
	 	(d) 	
      there are restrictions on the Subscriber’s ability to
      resell the Special Warrants and it is the responsibility of the Subscriber
      to find out what those restrictions are and to comply with them;
  and

	 	 	 
	 	(e) 	
      as a consequence of acquiring the Special Warrants
      pursuant to exemptions from prospectus requirements under the Securities
      Laws, certain protections, rights and remedies provided by the Securities
      Laws, including statutory rights of rescission or damages, will not be
      available to the Subscriber.




	15. 	
      Contractual Right of Action for Rescission. By its
      acceptance and acknowledgement of this offer, the Company hereby provides
      a right of rescission as set out below, which right shall be exercisable
      by the Subscriber and any subsequent holders from time to time of the
      Subscriber’s Special Warrants:

	 	 
		
      In the event that a holder of a Special Warrant who
      acquires Underlying Shares upon the deemed exercise of a Special Warrant
      as provided for in the Final Prospectus, is or becomes entitled under
      applicable Securities Laws to the remedy of rescission by reason of the
      Final Prospectus or any amendment thereto containing a misrepresentation,
      such holder shall be entitled to rescission not only of the holder's
      exercise of its Special Warrant, but also of the private placement
      transaction pursuant to which the Special Warrant was initially acquired
      and shall be entitled in connection with such rescission to a full refund
      from the Company of the amount of the purchase price paid on Closing to
      the Company, on the acquisition of the Special Warrant. In the event such
      holder is a permitted assignee of the interest of the original Special
      Warrant subscriber in accordance with the Special Warrant Certificate,
      such permitted assignee shall be entitled to exercise such rights of
      rescission and refund as if such permitted assignee were such original
      subscriber. The provisions of this section are a direct contractual right
      extended by the Company alone (but specifically not by the directors,
      officers or other agents of the Company) to holders of Special Warrants,
      permitted assignees of such holders and holders of Underlying Shares
      acquired by such holders on exercise of Special Warrants and are in
      addition to any other right or remedy available to a holder of Special
      Warrants under applicable law.

	 	 
		
      The foregoing contractual rights of action for rescission
      will be subject to the applicable defences, limitations and other
      provisions set out in the Securities Act (British Columbia) and the
      equivalent provisions of the securities legislation of the Designated
      Provinces.

      the earlier of (i) two years from closing, and (ii) the date each US
      Person would beneficially own 9.9% of issued NDM shares (as calculated in
      accordance with SEC Rule 13d-1) if all its Special Warrants were converted
      (“Resale Filing Termination Date”). The Company shall cause
      the Canadian Prospectus to remain effective and current until the expiry

      eligible for sale under Rule 144 without volume or manner-of-sale
      restrictions or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable
      requirements of the U.S. Securities Act (including judicial
      interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC). The
      Company will take all steps necessary to remove any legends to give effect
      to the foregoing, including, without limitation, procuring an opinion of
      U.S. counsel to the Company at the Company’s expense.

	 	 
	(n) 	
      It understands and agrees that there may be material tax
      consequences to the Subscriber of an acquisition, disposition or exercise
      of any of the Special Warrants and any Common Shares issued upon
      conversion of the Special Warrants. The Company gives no opinion and makes
      no representation with respect to the tax consequences to the Subscriber
      under United States, state, local or foreign tax law of the undersigned’s
      acquisition or disposition of such Special Warrants and any Common Shares
      issued upon conversion of the Special Warrants; in particular, no
      determination has been made whether the Company will be a “passive foreign
      investment company” within the meaning of Section 1297 of the United
      States Internal Revenue Code.

	 	 
	(o) 	
      It understands and acknowledges that the Company is
      incorporated outside the United States. Consequently, it may be difficult
      to provide service of process on the Company and it may be difficult to
      enforce any judgment against the Company.

	 	 
	(p) 	
      It understands and agrees that the financial statements
      of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International
      Financial Reporting Standards and therefore may be materially different
      from financial statements prepared under U.S. generally accepted
      accounting principles and therefore may not be comparable to financial
      statements of United States companies.

	 	 
	(q) 	
      It consents to the Company making a notation on its
      records or giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Company in
      order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth and described in
      this certification and the Subscription Agreement.

	 	 
	(r) 	
      It has no intention to distribute, and shall not
      transfer, either directly or indirectly any of the Special Warrants and
      any Common Shares issued upon conversion of the Special Warrants to any
      person within the United States or to U.S. persons except pursuant to an
      effective registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act, or an
      exemption therefrom or otherwise in compliance with Securities
  Laws.

	 	 
	(s) 	
      It represents that the funds representing the Purchase
      Price which will be advanced by the Subscriber to the Corporation
      hereunder will not represent proceeds of crime for the purposes of the
      Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools
      Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act (the “PATRIOT
      Act”) and the Subscriber acknowledges that the Company may in the
      future be required by law to disclose the Subscriber's name and other
      information relating to the subscription agreement and the Subscriber's
      subscription hereunder, on a confidential basis, pursuant to the PATRIOT
      Act. No portion of the Subscription Price to be provided by the Subscriber
      (i) has been or will be derived from or related to any activity that is
      deemed criminal under the laws of the United States of America, or any
      other jurisdiction, or (ii) is being tendered on behalf of a person
or entity who has not been identified to or by the Subscriber, and it shall
promptly notify the Company if the Subscriber discovers that any of such
representations ceases to be true and provide the Corporation with appropriate
information in connection therewith.

      It acknowledges that the representations, warranties and

      that they may be relied upon by the Company in determining its eligibility
      or the eligibility of others on whose behalf it is contracting thereunder
      to purchase Special Warrants. It agrees that by accepting Special Warrants
      it shall be representing and warranting that the representations and
      warranties above are true as at the Closing Date with the same force and
      effect as if they had been made by it at the Closing Date and that they
      shall survive the purchase by it of Special Warrants and shall continue in

The undersigned (A) acknowledges that the sale of the

defined in Regulation S or (c) an affiliate of a distributor; (2) the offer and
sale of such securities was made in an “offshore transaction” within the meaning
of Regulation S and either (a) at the time the buy order was originated, the
buyer was outside the United States, or the seller and any person acting on its
behalf reasonably believed that the buyer was outside the United States, or (b)

neither the seller nor any affiliate of the seller nor any person acting on
their behalf has engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts in the
United States in connection with the offer and sale of such securities; (4) the

restrictions imposed because the securities are “restricted securities” (as that

REGISTRATION 

2.1     Mandatory Registration. The
Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than
the Targeted Filing Date, file with the SEC the Registration Statement on Form
F-3 covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities (the “Initial
Registration Statement”). In the event that Form F-3 is unavailable for such
a registration, the Company shall use such other form as is available for such a
registration, subject to the provisions of Section 2.4. The Initial Registration
Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale all of the
Registrable Securities issuable as of the date the Registration Statement is
initially filed with the SEC. The Registration Statement shall contain (except
if otherwise directed by the Required Holders) the “Selling
Stockholders” and “Plan of Distribution” sections in substantially
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Company shall use reasonable
best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as
soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Targeted Effectiveness Date.
By 9:30 a.m. on the Business Day immediately following the Effective Date, the
Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities
Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such
Registration Statement. The Company shall keep such Initial Registration
Statement continuously effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the
second anniversary of this Agreement (the “Initial Registration Period”).
If after the expiry of the Initial Registration Period, there are one or more
Investors that individually (together with such Investor’s affiliates and any
other person with whom they may be deemed to be a “group” within the meaning of
Rule 13d-5 under the US Securities Exchange Act) are the beneficial owner, as
calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-1 of the Exchange Act, of more than 9.9%
of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company and the Company has
withdrawn any Registration Statement filed within the Initial Registration
Period, then such Investors will have a demand registration right to cause the
Company to file a further Registration Statement covering the registration of
such Registrable Securities then owned by such Investors (the “Additional
Registration Statement”). The Company will file such Additional Registration Statement within twenty
(20) days of written receipt of a request from an Investor further to this
demand registration right and will maintain the effectiveness of such Additional
Registration Statement until the earlier of (i) the date as on which the
Investors may sell all of the Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement without limitation or restriction pursuant to Rule 144
(or any successor thereto) promulgated under the Securities Act without the
requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public
information requirements under Rule 144, (ii) the date on which no Investor
(together with such Investor’s affiliates and any other person with whom they
may be deemed to be a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the US
Securities Exchange Act) is the beneficial owner, as calculated in accordance
with Rule 13d-1 of the Exchange Act, of more than 9.9% of the issued and
outstanding shares of the Company, and (iii) the one year anniversary of the
date of effectiveness of the Additional Registration Statement (the
“Additional Registration Period”). If after expiry of the Additional
Registration Period, there remain one or more Investors that individually
(together with such Investor’s affiliates and any other person with whom they
may be deemed to be a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the US
Securities Exchange Act) are the beneficial owner, as calculated in accordance
with Rule 13d-1 of the Exchange Act, of more than 9.9% of the issued and
outstanding shares of the Company and the Company has withdrawn any Additional
Registration Statement filed within the Additional Registration Period, such
Investor or Investors will have one additional demand registration right to
cause the Company to file a further Additional Registration Statement for a
further Additional Registration Period on the equivalent terms for the initial
demand registration right described above in this paragraph. 

- E-2 - 





2.2     Limitation to Registrable
Securities. In no event shall the Company include any securities other than
Registrable Securities on any Registration Statement without the prior written
consent of the Required Holders. 

2.3     Legal Counsel. Each Investor
may designate legal counsel from time to time to review and oversee at the
expense of such Investor any registration pursuant to this Article 2 (the
“Legal Counsel”). The Company and Legal Counsel shall reasonably
cooperate with each other in performing the Company’s obligations under this
Agreement. 

2.4     Ineligibility for Form F-3.
In the event that Form F-3 is not available for the registration of the resale
of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale
of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form that covers the resale
of all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form F-3
as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a
Registration Statement on Form F-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been
declared effective by the SEC. 

2.5     Effect of Failure to Obtain
Effectiveness of Registration Statement. I a Registration Statement covering
all of the Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the SEC on or
before the applicable Targeted Effectiveness Date then the Company shall
continue to use its reasonable best efforts to have it declared effective.

ARTICLE 3 

RELATED OBLIGATIONS 

At such time as the Company is obligated to file a Registration
Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2.1, the Company will use reasonable
best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in
accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant
thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations: 

3.1     Acceleration; Adequate
Disclosure. The Company shall submit to the SEC, within two Business Days
after the Company learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement
will be made by the staff of the SEC or that the staff has no further comments
on a particular Registration Statement, as the case may be, a request for
acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date
not later than 48 hours after the submission of such request. The Company shall
keep each Registration Statement continuously effective pursuant to Rule 415 at
all times during the Initial Registration Period and any Additional Registration
Period. The Company shall ensure that each Registration Statement (including any
amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) does not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein
(in the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they
were made) not misleading. 

- E-3 - 





3.2     Amendments to Registration
Statement. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments
(including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration
Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration
Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated
under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration
Statement continuously effective at all times during the Initial Registration
Period and any Additional Registration Period, and, during such period, comply
in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect
to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such
Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities
shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of
disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration
Statement. In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement
which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to
this Section 3.2) by reason of the Company filing with or furnishing to the SEC
a report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into
such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or
supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the Exchange Act report is
filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such
Registration Statement. The Company shall respond as promptly as reasonably
practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to each
Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably
possible, provide the Investors true and complete copies of all correspondence
from and to the SEC relating to such Registration Statement that pertains to the
Investors as “Selling Stockholders” but not any comments that would result in
the disclosure to the Investors of material and non-public information
concerning the Company. 

3.3     Review by Legal Counsel;
Information Rights. The Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel to review and
comment upon (i) a Registration Statement at least three Business Days prior to
its filing with the SEC and (ii) all amendments and supplements to all
Registration Statements (except for Form 20-F, Form 6-K and similar continuous
disclosure reports) at least three Business Days prior to their filing with the
SEC, and (B) not file any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement
thereto in a form to which Legal Counsel reasonably objects. Legal Counsel shall
provide any comments within two Business Days after receipt of a document for
review pursuant to the previous sentence. The Company shall, as promptly as
practicable, furnish to Legal Counsel, without charge, (i) copies of any
correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its
representatives relating to any Registration Statement, (ii) after the same is
prepared and filed with the SEC, one copy of any Registration Statement and any
amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all
documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor, and
all exhibits and (iii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, one
copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all
amendments and supplements thereto. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with
Legal Counsel in performing the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Article
3. 

3.4     Prospectus Delivery. The
Company shall, as promptly as practicable, furnish to each Investor whose
Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without
charge, (i) after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one copy
of such Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial
statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if
requested by an Investor, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii)
upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, an electronic copy of the
prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and
supplements thereto; provided, that the Company shall promptly provide each
Investor with such number of copies of such prospectus as such Investor may
reasonably request and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any
preliminary or final prospectus, as such Investor may reasonably request from
time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities owned by such Investor. 

3.5     Blue Sky Compliance. The
Company shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify or
cooperate with the selling Investors in connection with the registration or
qualification (or exemption from the registration or qualification) of
Registrable Securities for the resale by Investors of the Registrable Securities
covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky”
laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (ii) prepare and file
in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments)
and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to
maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Initial Registration Period and
any Additional Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such
registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Initial
Registration Period and any Additional Registration Period, and (iv) take all
other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable
Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x)
qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be
required to qualify but for this Section 3.5, (y) subject itself to general
taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of
process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify Legal
Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the
Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration
or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the
securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its
receipt of notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such
purpose. 

- E-4 - 





3.6     Updates to Prospectus. The
Company shall notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing of the happening
of any event, as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, or
the passage of time as a result of which a Registration Statement or the
prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an
untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading
(provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material non-public
information), and, subject to Section 3.16, promptly prepare a supplement or
amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or
omission and deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement or amendment to Legal
Counsel and each Investor (or such other number of copies as Legal Counsel or
such Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify
Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any
prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective
(notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to Legal Counsel and each
Investor by facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight
mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state government
authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related
prospectus or related information, (iii) of the Company’s reasonable
determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would
be appropriate, and (iv) when the SEC notifies the Company whether there will be
a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the SEC comments in
writing on any Registration Statement (in which case the Company shall provide
to each of the Investors true and complete copies of all comments that pertain
to the Investors as a “Selling Stockholder” or to the “Plan of Distribution” and
all written responses thereto, but not information that the Company believes
would constitute material and non-public information). The Company shall notify
Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing not more than one Business Day after
(x) the Company becoming aware of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal
or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness
of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or
the initiation of any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding
(including, without limitation, an investigation or partial proceeding, such as
a deposition), whether commenced or threatened (collectively, “Proceeding”), for
that purpose; or (y) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect
to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of
the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or
threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose. 

3.7     Prevention of Suspension of
Effectiveness. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a
Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification (or exemption
from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the
withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to
notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being
sold of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of
notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose. 

3.8     Underwriter Status. If,
after the execution of this Agreement, the SEC informs the Company that one or
more of the Investors may be an underwriter of Registrable Securities, the
Company shall not name such Investors as Underwriters without the consent of
such Investors and failing the timely receipt of such consent, such Investor’s
Registrable Securities shall be removed from the Registration Statement. 

3.9     Confidentiality. The Company
shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning
an Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is
necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws or Canadian Securities
Laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any
Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered
pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or governmental body of
competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally
available to the public. The Company agrees that it shall to the extent lawfully
possible, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an
Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to such Investor
and allow such Investor, at the Investor’s expense, to undertake reasonable and
appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order
for, such information. 

- E-5 - 





3.10    Listing of Registrable
Securities. The Company shall cause all of the Registrable Securities
covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange
and the NYSE MKT and each other securities exchange or automated quotation
system on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are
then listed. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with
satisfying its obligation under this Section 3.10. 

3.11    Certificates. The Company
shall cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities being offered
and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable
Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such
certificates to be in such amounts as the Investors may reasonably request and
registered in such names as the Investors may request. 

3.12    Prospectus Supplements Requested by
Investor. If reasonably requested by an Investor, the Company shall, as soon
as practicable (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment such information as an Investor reasonably requests to be included
therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities,
including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of
Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid
therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be
sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be
incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and
(iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement if reasonably
requested by an Investor holding any Registrable Securities. 

3.13    Compliance with Regulations. The
Company shall otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, the British Columbia Securities
Commission, and all other applicable regulatory authorities in connection with
any registration hereunder, including without limitation Rule 172 under the
Securities Act. Further, the Company shall notify the Investors promptly if the
Company no longer satisfies the conditions of Rule 172. 

3.14    Reporting Issuer Status. During
the Initial Registration Period and any Additional Registration Period, the
Company shall continue to be a “reporting issuer” or the equivalent thereof in
good standing under the applicable Canadian Securities Laws in each of the
provinces of Canada in which it is currently a “reporting issuer” and shall
continue to be in compliance with all applicable Canadian Securities Laws in all
material respects and will make all necessary filings (including, without
limitation, the filing of all continuous disclosure materials) required to be
filed by the Company pursuant to the Canadian Securities Laws, but will not be
required to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in Canada. 

3.15    Confirmation of Effectiveness to
Transfer Agent. Within one Business Day after a Registration Statement that
covers Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company shall
deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the
transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investors
whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement)
written confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared
effective by the SEC. 

3.16    Disclosure Grace Period.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time after the Effective
Date, the Company may delay the disclosure of material non-public information
concerning the Company the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good
faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, in the best interest of
the Company and, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise required (a
“Grace Period”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify the
Investors in writing of the existence of material non-public information giving
rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each notice the Company will not
disclose the content of such material non-public information to the Investors) and the
date on which the Grace Period will begin, (ii) use reasonable best efforts to
terminate a Grace Period as promptly as practicable, and (iii) notify the
Investors in writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends; and, provided
further, that no Grace Period shall exceed 10 consecutive days and no more than
two Grace Periods shall occur during any 365 day period and the first day of any
Grace Period must be at least two trading days after the last day of any prior
Grace Period (each, an “Allowable Grace Period”). For purposes of
determining the length of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period shall begin on
and include the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (i)
and shall end on and include the later of the date the Investors receive the
notice referred to in clause (ii) and the date referred to in such notice. The
provisions of Section 2.5 hereof shall not be applicable during the period of
any Allowable Grace Period. Upon expiration of the Grace Period, the Company
shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section 3.6 with respect to the
information giving rise thereto unless such material non-public information is
no longer applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company
shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Shares to
a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Subscription
Agreements in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to
which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s
receipt of the notice of a Grace Period and for which the Investor has not yet
settled.

3.17    F-3 Eligibility. The Company
shall use reasonable best efforts to maintain compliance with the eligibility
requirements of Form F-3 so that such form is continuously available for the
registration of the resale of Registrable Securities during the Initial
Registration Period and any Additional Registration Period. 

ARTICLE 4 

OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTORS 

4.1     Information to be Included in
Registration Statement. At least five Business Days prior to the first
anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement other than the Initial
Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor in writing of the
information the Company requires from each such Investor if such Investor elects
to have any of such Investor’s Registrable Securities included in such
Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of
the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect
to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor
furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable
Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable
Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the
effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall
execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may
reasonably request.

4.2     Cooperation. Each Investor,
by such Investor’s acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate
with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the
preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder, unless such
Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor’s election to
exclude all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities from such Registration
Statement. 

4.3     Cease Disposition. Each
Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the
happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3.6, such Investor will
immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any
Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until such
Investor’s receipt of notice that the supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by Section 3.6 has been filed with the SEC or receipt of notice
that no supplement or amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended
shares of Common Shares to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the
terms of the Subscription Agreements in connection with any sale of Registrable
Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for
sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the
happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3.6 and for which the
Investor has not yet settled. For the avoidance of doubt, each Investor may
continue to resell any Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 or any other
available exemption from registration. 

4.4     Prospectus Delivery. Each
Investor covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it or an exemption therefrom
in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement.

ARTICLE 5 

EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION 

All expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions
or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, incurred in connection with
registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Articles 2 and 3,
including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications
fees, printer’s and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for
the Company shall be paid by the Company. 

ARTICLE 6 

INDEMNIFICATION 

In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a
Registration Statement under this Agreement: 

6.1     Indemnification by Company.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does,
indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor, the directors, officers,
members, partners, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if
any, who controls any Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several,
(collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or
defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal
taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative
or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened,
whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto
(“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar
as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the
qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of
any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky
Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date
of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended
or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any
material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading,
(iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act, the Canadian Securities Laws, any other law, including,
without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation
thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant
to a Registration Statement or (iv) any violation of this Agreement (the matters
in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively,
“Violations”). Subject to Section 6.3, the Company shall reimburse the
Indemnified Persons, promptly as such Indemnified Damages are incurred and are
due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by
them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification
agreement contained in this Section 6.1: (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an
Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in
reliance upon and in strict conformity with information furnished in writing to
the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in the Registration
Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was
timely made available by the Company to such Indemnified Person pursuant to
Section 3.3; and (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim
if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity
shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or
on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the
Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Article 9. 

6.2     Indemnification by Investor.
In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is
participating, each such Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify,
hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set
forth in Section 6.1, the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers
who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an
“Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which
any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act.
Canadian Securities Laws or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified
Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the
extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and
in strict conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such
Investor expressly for use in the Registration Statement or any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto and, subject to Section 6.3, such Investor will
reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified
Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided,
however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6.2 and the
agreement with respect to contribution contained in Article 7 shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without
the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, however, that the Investor
shall be liable under this Section 6.2 for only that amount of a Claim or
Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the dollar amount of the net proceeds
received by such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities
pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such
Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities
by the Investors pursuant to Article 9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6.2
with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any
Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained
in the preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus,
as then amended or supplemented. 

- E-8 - 





6.3     Participation; Cooperation.
Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this
Article 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including
any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified
Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made
against any indemnifying party under this Article 6, deliver to the indemnifying
party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party
shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying
party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed,
to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to
the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as
the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses
of not more than one counsel for such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to
be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel
retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. In the case of an Indemnified Person, legal counsel
referred to in the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence shall be
selected by the Investors holding at least a majority in interest of the
Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement to which the Claim
relates. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with
the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such
action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying
party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person that relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party
shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person reasonably apprised at
all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with
respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any
action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent,
provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold,
delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior
written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry
of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise that does not
include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff
to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability
in respect to such Claim or litigation, and such settlement shall not include
any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party. Following
indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be
subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with
respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for
which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to
the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such
action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Article 6, except to the
extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced in its ability to
defend such action. 

- E-9 - 




6.4      Payment of Indemnification. The indemnification
required by this Article 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount
thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are
received or Indemnified Damages are incurred. 

6.5      Non-Exclusive Remedy. The indemnity agreements
contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar
right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying
party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject
to pursuant to the law. 

ARTICLE 7 

CONTRIBUTION 

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is
prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum
contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable
under Article 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that:
(i) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities that is guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution
from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of
Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds
received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to
such Registration Statement. 

ARTICLE 8 

REPORTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT

8.1     With a view to making available to
the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or
any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the
Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration
(“Rule 144”), the Company agrees to: 

(a)     make and keep public information
available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; 

(b)     file with the SEC in a timely
manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to
such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required
for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and 

(c)     furnish to each Investor so long as
such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written
statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting
requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and (ii) such
other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investors to sell
such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration. 

ARTICLE 9 

ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS

The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically
assignable by the Investors to any transferee of all or any portion of such
Investor’s Registrable Securities if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with
the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement
is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment; (ii)
the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment,
furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or
assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights
are being transferred or assigned; (iii) immediately following such transfer or
assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or
assignee is restricted under the Securities Act or applicable state securities
laws; (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice
contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees
in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; and (v)
such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable
requirements of the Subscription Agreements, and in accordance with all
applicable securities laws.

retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company

one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the
time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at
negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may
involve crosses or block transactions,

	 	• 	in transactions otherwise than on these
      exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market; 
	 	 	 
		• 	through the writing of options, whether such

If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling
shares of Common Shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents,
such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form
of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or
commissions from purchasers of the shares of Common Shares for whom they may act
as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or
commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in
excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection
with sales of the shares of Common Shares or otherwise, the selling stockholders
may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn
engage in short sales of the shares of Common Shares in the course of hedging in
positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of Common Shares short and
deliver shares of Common Shares covered by this prospectus to close out short
positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The
selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of Common Shares to
broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security
interest in some or all of the warrants or notes owned by them and, if they
default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured
parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Shares from time to time
pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule
424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the
pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders
under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the
shares of Common Shares in other circumstances in which case the transferees,
donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial
owners for purposes of this prospectus. 

At the time a particular offering of the shares of Common
Shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which
will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of Common Shares being offered and
the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or
agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation
from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions
allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers. 

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of Common
Shares may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or
dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of Common Shares may not be sold
unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or
an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied
with. 

There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will
sell any or all of the shares of Common Shares registered pursuant to the
registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part. 

The selling stockholders and any other person participating in
such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder,
including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the
Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the
shares of Common Shares by the selling stockholders and any other participating
person. To the extent applicable Regulation M may also restrict the ability of
any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of Common Shares to engage
in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Shares. All of
the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of Common Shares and
the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with
respect to the shares of Common Shares. 

We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of
Common Shares pursuant to the registration rights agreements, estimated to be $[
] in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission
filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws;
provided, however, that a selling stockholder will pay all underwriting
discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling
stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the
Securities Act, in accordance with the registration rights agreements, or the
selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by
the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us
by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in
accordance with the related registration rights agreements, or we may be
entitled to contribution. 

Once sold under the registration statement, of which this
prospectus forms a part, the shares of Common Shares will be freely tradable
under the Securities Act in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.
