      Canaccord Genuity Inc. (collectively, &#147;<B>Canaccord</B>&#148;) and HSBC

      &#147;<B>HSBC</B>&#148;, and together with Canaccord, the &#147;<B>Agents</B>&#148;). Under
      the Equity Distribution Agreement, the Company will be entitled, at its
      discretion and from time-to-time during the term of the Equity
      Distribution Agreement, to sell, through the Agents, such number of common
      shares of the Company (the &#147;<B>Common Shares</B>&#148;) having an aggregate
      gross offering price of up to US$100,000,000 (the &#147;<B>Offering</B>&#148;).
      Sales of Common Shares will be made through &#147;at the market distributions&#148;
      as defined in National Instrument 44- 102, on the NYSE MKT LLC (&#147;<B>NYSE
      MKT</B>&#148;), the Toronto Stock Exchange (&#147;<B>TSX</B>&#148;) or on any other
      existing trading market for the Common Shares in the United States or
      Canada. The Common Shares will be distributed either (i) at the market
      prices prevailing at the time of the sale; or (ii) at prices to be
      negotiated with purchasers. As a result, prices may vary as between
      purchasers and during the period of distribution. </P></TD></TR>

Instrument 61-101 &#150; <I>Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special
Transactions</I> (&#147;<B>MI 61-101</B>&#148;). Although the extent of any such purchases
is not known at this time, the potential participation by insiders in the
Offering would be exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation
report and minority shareholder approval under Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of
MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the entire Offering represents less than
25% of the Company&#146;s market capitalization. </P>
