|5. | FINANCINGS AND SECONDARY
      OFFERINGS

|5.1 | Concurrent with, immediately before or immediately after
      the Closing, Newco proposes to complete an initial public offering (the
      Financing) by way of a prospectus (the Prospectus) in an amount to be
      determined by Crosshair based on Newcos capital needs and market
      conditions, currently expected to be 6,666,667 common shares of Newco at a
      price of $0.75 per common share.

|5.2 | Newco shall permit Paragon to qualify under the
      Prospectus the sale by Paragon of 1,333,333 of the Consideration Shares or
      such other number of shares agreed to by Crosshair and Paragon (the

      Financing. The Secondary Offering is subject to the approval of any stock
      exchange that the securities of any of the Parties are listed on or to
      which an application for listing has been
made.

|5.3 | Provided that Paragon holds at least 20% of the then
      current issued and outstanding common shares of Newco, if at any time
      following completion of the Financing Newco undertakes any equity
      financing by way of prospectus (including but not limited to by way of
      common shares, units, warrants, special warrants, subscription receipts or
      convertible debt) (a "Subsequent Financing"), Paragon will have the right
      (but not the obligation) to participate in such Subsequent Financing as a
      seller in order to sell such number of the remaining Consideration Shares
      as shall comprise at least 10% of the amount of any such Subsequent
      Financing, provided that Paragon shall not be permitted to sell more than
      30% of Paragons ownership of then current issued and outstanding common
      shares of Newco in any single Subsequent Financing. Newco shall permit
      Paragon to qualify Paragon's sale of such Consideration Shares in such
      Subsequent Financing by way of such

|13.2 | A Party relying on the provisions of section 13.1 will
      promptly give written notice to the other Parties of the particulars of
      the Intervening Event and all time limits imposed by this Agreement will
      be extended from the date of delivery of such notice by a period
      equivalent to the period of delay resulting from an Intervening
    Event.

|13.3 | A Party relying on the provisions of section 13.1 will
      take all reasonable steps to eliminate any Intervening Event and, if
      possible, will perform its obligations under this Agreement as far as
      commercially practical, but nothing herein will require such Party to
      settle or adjust any labour dispute or to question or to test the validity
      of any law, rule, regulation or order of any duly constituted governmental
      authority or to complete its obligations under this Agreement if an
      Intervening Event renders completion commercially impracticable. A Party
      relying on the provisions of section 13.1 will give written notice to the
      other Parties as soon as such Intervening Event ceases to
  exist.

|14. | DEFAULT
|--- | -------

|14.1 | Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
      contrary, if any Party (a Defaulting Party) is in default of any
      requirement herein set forth any other Party may give written notice to
      the Defaulting Party specifying the default and the Defaulting Party will
      not lose any rights under this Agreement, unless within 10 days after the
      giving of the first notice of default by the other Party the Defaulting
      Party has failed to take reasonable steps to cure the default by the
      appropriate performance and if the Defaulting Party fails within such
      period to take reasonable steps to cure any such default, the other Party
      will be entitled to seek any remedy it may have on account of such
      default, which remedies shall include terminating this Agreement and/or
      seeking the remedies of specific performance, injunction or
  damages.

|15. | RIGHT TO REPRESENTATION
      ON NEWCO BOARD OF DIRECTORS
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------

|15.1 | In connection with the Closing and the completion of the
      Arrangement, Paragon shall have the right (but not the obligation) to have
      one designated nominee on Newco's initial board of directors (i.e., its
      board of directors immediately following the completion of the
      Arrangement). As part of Crosshair's and Newco's preparation of materials
      for the Arrangement, Crosshair and Newco shall provide Paragon with a list
      of the proposed initial directors for Newco. Paragon shall advise
      Crosshair and Newco within 10 business days of receipt of such list (i)
      whether Paragon wishes to have a designated nominee on Newco's initial
      board of directors and, if so, (ii) the name of such nominee and any other
      information reasonably requested by Crosshair or Newco for such
      purpose.

|15.2 | Following completion of the Arrangement, as long as
      Paragon holds at least 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of
      Newco, Paragon shall have the right (but not the obligation) to have one
      designated nominee on the management slate of nominees for the Newco board
      of directors for each annual general meeting of shareholders of Newco (and
      any other Newco shareholder meeting at which directors are to be elected).
      At least 30 days prior to the date that Newco's management information
      circular for any such shareholder meeting is to be mailed to shareholders,
      Newco shall notify Paragon in writing of the proposed management nominees
      for Newco's board of directors. Paragon shall have 10 business days from
      the date of receipt of such notice to inform Newco of (i) whether Paragon
      wishes to have a designated nominee on Newco's board of directors and, if
      so, (ii) the name of such nominee and any other information reasonably
      requested by Newco for such purpose.

Crosshair or Newco from acquiring securities in another non-affiliated corporate
entity holding shares of Paragon in its portfolio, (ii) the above limitation and
prohibition set forth in this section 16.1 shall cease to

apply immediately if another party
announces its intention to make a takeover or similar offer for Paragon or the
possibility of an offer is announced; and (iii) Crosshairs and Newcos
obligations in this section 16.1 shall apply to Paragon as a registered
corporate entity and not to another corporate entity which during the term of
this Agreement acquires a controlling interest in Paragon.
