        from the registration requirements under the U.S. Securities Act and the

        does not contravene any of the applicable securities legislation in the
        jurisdiction in which the Subscriber or such beneficial person resides
        and does not give rise to any obligation of the Corporation or the Agents
        to prepare and file a prospectus or similar document or to register the
        Units or to be registered with or to file any report or notice with any
        governmental or regulatory authority.

        Agreement, the performance and compliance with the terms hereof, the subscription
        for the Units and the completion of the transactions described herein
        by the Subscriber will not result in any material breach of, or be in

        by-laws or resolutions of the Subscriber, the Securities Laws or any other
        laws applicable to the Subscriber, any agreement to which the Subscriber

        Units as principal for its own account and not for the benefit of any
        other person (within the meaning of applicable Securities Laws) and not

        if it is not subscribing as principal, it acknowledges that the Corporation
        may be required by law to disclose to certain regulatory authorities the
        identity of each beneficial Subscriber for the Units for whom it is acting.

	 	 	 
	 	(j)	In the case of a subscription for the

	 	(p)	In addition to compliance
        with the restrictions on resale under applicable Securities Laws to which
        the Common Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares may be subject, if the
        Subscriber is a resident of either Ontario or Manitoba (and, in the case
        of Manitoba, is not purchasing as an “accredited investor”)
        at the time of such initial trade, the Subscriber is required to file
        with the Ontario Securities Commission or the Manitoba Securities Commission,
        as applicable, within 10 days of the initial trade (other than a trade

	 	(q)	The Subscriber, and each
        beneficial person for whom it is contracting hereunder, have been advised
        to consult their own legal advisors with respect to trading in the Common
        Shares, Warrants, and Warrant Shares and with respect to the resale restrictions
        imposed by the Securities Laws of the province in which the













10


	 	 	Subscriber resides and other
        applicable securities laws, and acknowledges that no representation has
        been made respecting the applicable hold periods imposed by the Securities
        Laws or other resale restrictions applicable to such securities which
        restrict the ability of the Subscriber (or others for whom it is contracting
        hereunder) to resell such securities, that the Subscriber (or others for
        whom it is contracting hereunder) is solely responsible to find out what
        these restrictions are and the Subscriber is solely responsible (and neither
        the Corporation nor the Agents are in any way responsible) for compliance
        with applicable resale restrictions and the Subscriber is aware that it
        (or beneficial persons for whom it is contracting hereunder) may not be
        able to resell such securities except in accordance with limited exemptions
        under the Securities Laws and other applicable securities laws.

	 	 	 
	 	(r)	The Subscriber has not received
        or been provided with a prospectus, offering memorandum, within the meaning
        of the Securities Laws, or any sales or advertising literature in connection
        with the Offering and the Subscriber’s decision to subscribe for
        the Units was not based upon, and the Subscriber has not relied upon,
        any verbal or written representations as to facts made by or on behalf
        of the Corporation or the Agents. The Subscriber’s decision to subscribe
        for the Units was based solely upon the Term Sheet attached hereto as
        Schedule “A” and information about the Corporation which is
        publicly available (any such information having been obtained by the Subscriber
        without independent investigation or verification by the Agents).

	 	 	 
	 	(s)	The Subscriber is not purchasing
        the Units with knowledge of material information concerning the Corporation
        which has not been generally disclosed.

        or oral representations:

	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(i)
	that any person will resell or repurchase
        the Common Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares;

	 	 	(ii)
	that any person will refund the Subscription
        Price; or

	 	 	(iii)
	as to the future price or value of the
        Common Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares.

	 	 	 
	 	(u)	The subscription for the
        Units has not been made through or as a result of, and the distribution
        of the Common Shares and Warrants is not being accompanied by any advertisement,
        including without limitation in printed public media, radio, television
        or telecommunications, including electronic display, or as part of a general
        solicitation.

	 	 	 
	 	(v)	There are risks associated
        with the purchase of and investment in the Common Shares, Warrants, and
        the Warrant Shares and the Subscriber, and each beneficial person for
        whom it is contracting hereunder, is knowledgeable, sophisticated and
        experienced in business and financial matters and is capable of evaluating
        the merits and risks of an investment in the Common Shares, Warrants,
        and the Warrant Shares, fully understands the restrictions on resale of
        the Common Shares, Warrants, and the Warrant Shares and is able to bear
        the economic risk of an investment in the Common Shares and Warrants.

        DATE>.

	 	 	 	 
	 	 	In addition, the Common
        Shares and Warrants (and Warrant Shares, if applicable) will also bear
        a legend substantially in the following form:

        SECURITIES CAN NOT BE TRADED THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF SUCH EXCHANGE SINCE
        THEY ARE NOT FREELY TRANSFERABLE, AND CONSEQUENTLY ANY CERTIFICATE REPRESENTING

        filing all documentation required by the applicable Securities Laws to
        permit the subscription for the Units and the issuance of the Common Shares,
        Warrants and Warrant Shares.

	 	 	 
	 	(i)

        on the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein and
        in the applicable Schedules attached hereto to determine the Subscriber’s
        eligibility to subscribe for the Units under applicable Securities Laws
        and the Subscriber agrees to indemnify the Corporation, the Agents and
        each of their directors and officers against all losses, claims, costs,

 You are buying Exempt Market Securities  

 They are called exempt market securities because two
  parts of securities law do not apply to them. If an issuer wants to sell exempt
  market securities to you: 

 •                 the
  issuer does not have to give you a prospectus (a document that describes the
  investment in detail and gives you some legal protections); and 

 •                 the
  securities do not have to be sold by an investment dealer registered with a
  securities regulatory authority. 

 There are restrictions on your ability to resell exempt
  market securities. Exempt market securities are more risky than other
  securities. 

 You may not receive any written information about the issuer
  or its business  

If you have any questions about the issuer or its business,
  ask for written clarification before you purchase the securities. You should
  consult your own professional advisers before investing in the securities. 

 For more information on the exempt market, refer to
  the Saskatchewan Financial Services Commission’s website at http://www.sfsc.gov.sk.ca


 Instruction: The purchaser must sign 2 copies of this form.
  The purchaser and the issuer must each receive a signed copy.
