                (c)

                3.  

              	
                Each
      of the Convertible Debenture Holders hereby acknowledges and confirms that
      the collateral assignment to YA Global (in its capacity as collateral
      agent for the Convertible Debenture Holders) of, and security interest in
      and to, payments due the Vendor under the Asset Purchase Agreement are
      subject to the Purchaser's set-off rights set forth in the Purchase
      Agreement.

              

      

       

      
        	
                4.  

              	
                As
      used herein, “Conditions” means: (i)
      the Asset Purchase Agreement shall not have terminated in accordance with
      its terms; (ii) neither the Vendor nor any one of the Convertible
      Debenture Holders shall have received or become subject to any executive,
      administrative or judicial order, writ, injunction, stay or other process
      prohibiting or restricting such party from taking any of the actions
      contemplated under this Agreement, the Asset Purchase Agreement or any
      Voting Agreement; (iii) there shall not have been commenced or threatened
      in writing against any of the Convertible Debenture Holders any material
      action or proceeding relating to any of the transactions contemplated
      under this Agreement or any Voting Agreement whereby such Convertible
      Debenture Holder believes, acting reasonably, there is a material risk
      that such action or proceeding has merit, provided, however that if the
      Purchaser, acting reasonably, disagrees that there is such a material
      risk, the parties will promptly obtain a legal opinion from a third party
      law firm reasonably acceptable  to both parties as to whether
      there is such a material risk, and if such legal opinion indicates that
      there is no such material risk, this condition shall be satisfied; and
      (iv) the performance by a Convertible Debenture Holder of its obligations
      hereunder or under any Voting Agreement would constitute a breach by such
      Convertible Debenture Holder of applicable law, as determined by such
      Convertible Debenture Holder acting reasonably, provided, however, that if
      the Purchaser, acting reasonably, disagrees with such Convertible
      Debenture Holder as to whether such performance would cause a breach of
      applicable law, the parties will promptly obtain a legal opinion from a
      third party law firm reasonably acceptable to both parties as to whether
      such performance would constitute a violation of applicable law, and if
      such legal opinion indicates that no such violation or breach would occur,
      this condition shall be satisfied; provided, that if, any
      event described in the foregoing clause (ii), (iii), or (iv) occurs
      involving one or more of the Convertible Debenture Holders, each such
      Convertible Debenture Holder agrees to use its commercially reasonable
      best efforts to (x) cause such order, writ, injunction, stay, process,
      action or proceeding to be dismissed or threat to be withdrawn as to such
      Convertible Debenture Holder as soon as practicable, and/or (y) determine
      and act in a manner in which to perform its obligations hereunder which
      does not, or will not, constitute a breach of such applicable law,
      provided that the Convertible Debenture Holders shall not be required to
      pay more than US$250,000.00 in out of pocket expenses (including, without
      limitation, attorneys fees and expenses) or payments to third parties in
      order to obtain or satisfy conditions (x) or (y).  If at
      any time any party hereto believes condition (ii), (iii) or (iv) may
      become applicable, it will forthwith both notify the other parties and
      provide all relevant information to the other parties and, if applicable,
      any appointed third party law firm in order for each of the parties and
      such law firm to make its own
determination.

              

      

       

      
        	
                5.  

              	
                Each
      of the parties will from time to time execute and deliver all such further
      documents and instruments and do all acts and things as any other party
      may reasonably require to effectively carry out or better evidence or
      perfect the full intent and meaning of this
  Agreement.

              

      

       

      
        	
                6.  

              	
                This
      Agreement shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of the parties
      and their respective successors and
assigns.

              

      

       

      
        	
                7.  

              	
                This
      Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
      of the Province of British Columbia and the laws of Canada applicable
      therein.

              

      

       

      
        	
                8.  

              	
                For
      the purpose of all legal proceedings, this Agreement will be deemed to
      have been performed in the Province of British Columbia and the courts of
      the Province of British Columbia will have jurisdiction to entertain any

                This
      Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
      will be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together will be
      deemed to constitute one and the same
  instrument.

                Delivery
      of an executed signature page to this Agreement by any party by electronic

      used herein, “Conditions” means: (i)
      the Asset Purchase Agreement shall not have terminated in accordance with

      Debenture Holders (as defined in the voting arrangement agreement (the
      “Voting Arrangement
      Agreement”) made as of December 4, 2008 between the Vendor,
      the Purchaser and YA Global Investments, L.P., f/k/a Cornell Capital
      Partners LP, Xentenial Holdings Limited, and Staraim Enterprises Limited)

      shall have received or become subject to any executive, administrative or
      judicial order, writ, injunction, stay or other process prohibiting or
      restricting such party from taking any of the actions contemplated under
      this Agreement, the Asset Purchase Agreement or the Voting Arrangement

      writing against any of the Convertible Debenture Holders any material
      action or proceeding relating to any of the transactions contemplated
      under this Agreement or the Voting Arrangement Agreement whereby such
      Convertible Debenture Holder believes, acting reasonably, there is a
      material risk that such action or proceeding has merit, provided, however
      that if the Purchaser, acting reasonably, disagrees that there is such a
      material risk, the parties will promptly obtain a legal opinion from a
      third party law firm reasonably acceptable  to both parties as
      to whether there is such a material risk, and if such legal opinion
      indicates that there is no such material risk, this condition shall be
      satisfied; and (iv) the performance by a Convertible Debenture Holder of
      its obligations hereunder or under the Voting Arrangement Agreement would
      constitute a breach by such Convertible Debenture Holder of applicable
      law, as determined by such Convertible Debenture Holder acting reasonably,
      provided, however, that if the Purchaser, acting reasonably, disagrees
      with such Convertible Debenture Holder as to whether such performance
      would cause a breach of applicable law, the parties will promptly obtain a
      legal opinion from a third party law firm reasonably acceptable to both
      parties as to whether such performance would constitute a violation of
      applicable law, and if such legal opinion indicates that no such violation
      or breach would occur, this condition shall be satisfied; provided, that if, any
      event described in the foregoing clause (ii), (iii), or (iv) occurs
      involving one or more of the Convertible Debenture Holders, each such
      Convertible Debenture Holder agrees to use its commercially reasonable
      best efforts to (x) cause such order, writ, injunction, stay, process,
      action or proceeding to be dismissed or threat to be withdrawn as to such
      Convertible Debenture Holder as soon as practicable, and/or (y) determine
      and act in a manner in which to perform its obligations hereunder which
      does not, or will not, constitute a breach of such applicable law,
      provided that the Convertible Debenture Holders shall not be required to
      pay more than US$250,000.00 in out of pocket expenses (including, without
      limitation, attorneys fees and expenses) or payments to third parties in
      order to obtain or satisfy conditions (x) or (y).  If at
      any time any party hereto believes condition (ii), (iii) or (iv) may
      become applicable, it will forthwith both notify the other parties and
      provide all relevant information to the other parties and, if applicable,
      any appointed third party law firm in order for each of the parties and
      such law firm to make its own
determination.
