ARTICLE 3

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

3.1 Demand Registration Rights

(a)

Subject to the limitations set out in Section 3.1(b), upon the written request (the 'Demand Notice') of the Shareholders (collectively, the 'Demanding Shareholders'), made at any time and from time to time as long as the Shareholders (and their respective Affiliates and Permitted Transferees) collectively own, control or direct, directly or indirectly, in the

- 8 -

aggregate, 5% or more of the then-outstanding Shares (on a non-diluted basis) (the '5% Ownership Threshold'), the Company will, subject to Applicable Securities Laws and applicable stock exchange requirements, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to file a Prospectus and take such other steps as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate an offering in Canada of all or any portion of the Shares held by the Demanding Shareholders and/or any of their respective Affiliates and Permitted Transferees (the 'Qualifying Shares'), plus any other Shares to be included in such Public Distribution pursuant to Section 3.1(h) (a 'Demand Registration'). The Company and the Demanding Shareholders shall cooperate in a timely manner in connection with any such Public Distribution and the procedures in Schedule A of this Agreement shall apply.

(b)

Notwithstanding Section 3.1(a), the Company is obligated to effect not more than two (2) Demand Registrations throughout the term of this Agreement, provided that the Company shall not be obligated to effect a Demand Registration in any of the circumstances set out below:

(i)

during the period starting 14 calendar days prior to and ending upon the expiry of any black-out periods applicable to the Company, except as may be otherwise agreed by the Company and the underwriters managing such offering;

(ii)

that is a Demand Registration in respect of Qualifying Shares that would reasonably be expected to result in gross proceeds of less than $50 million;

(iii)

in a jurisdiction outside any of the provinces and territories of Canada;

(iv)

within ninety (90) days of either (A) the date on which a final receipt or an equivalent document is issued in respect of a Prospectus by or on behalf of each applicable Canadian Securities Regulatory Authority or (B) the date on which a Prospectus consisting of a prospectus supplement to a shelf prospectus is filed by the Company for a Public Distribution of Shares (each, an 'Underwriters' Cutback Reference Date'), provided that the Shareholders were provided with the opportunity to participate in a Piggy-Back Registration in accordance with this Agreement in connection with such Public Distribution without an Underwriters' Cutback in excess of 10% of the number of Shares of the Shareholders specified in the Piggy-Back Registration; or

(v)

in the event that the Board reasonably determines in its good faith judgement that there is a Valid Business Reason (as defined below) and that it is, therefore, in the best interests of the Company to defer the filing of a Prospectus at such time, in which case the Company's obligations under this Section 3.1 will be deferred for a period of not more than 90 calendar days from the date of receipt of the Demand Notice; provided that such right of deferral may not be exercised more than once in any one (1) year period. For the purposes of this Section 3.1(b)(v), 'Valid Business Reason' means a determination by a majority of the Board (excluding on such vote any Redecan Directors then affiliated with or related to the Demanding Shareholders) that the effect of the filing of a Prospectus:

(A)

would reasonably be expected to adversely affect a pending or proposed acquisition, merger, amalgamation, recapitalization, consolidation, reorganization, financing or similar transaction involving the Company or

- 9 -

its subsidiaries that is material to the Company or any negotiations, discussions or pending proposals with respect thereto; or

(B)

would require the disclosure of material non-public information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving or not disclosing publicly in the good faith judgement of such Directors.

(c)

For the purposes of this Section 3.1, a Demand Registration shall not be considered as having been effected until (a) a receipt has been issued by, or deemed to be issued by, the applicable Canadian Securities Regulatory Authorities for a final prospectus pursuant to which the Qualifying Shares are to be Publicly Distributed, or (b) a prospectus supplement in connection with a base shelf prospectus is filed pursuant to which the Qualifying Shares are to be Publicly Distributed. However, if a Demanding Shareholder withdraws or does not pursue a request for a Demand Registration after (A) filing a preliminary prospectus pursuant to which the Qualifying Shares are to be Publicly Distributed or (B) the entering into of an enforceable Bought Deal letter or an underwriting or agency agreement in connection with the Demand Registration (provided that at such time the Company is in compliance in all material respects with its obligations under this Agreement), then such Demand Registration shall be deemed to have been effected.

(d)

Any Demand Notice pursuant to Section 3.1(a) hereof shall:

(i)

specify the number of Qualifying Shares that the Demanding Shareholders (together with its Affiliates) intend to Publicly Distribute;

(ii)

express the intention of the Demanding Shareholders (together with its Affiliates) to offer or cause the offering of such Qualifying Shares;

(iii)

describe the nature or methods of the proposed offer and sale thereof and the jurisdictions in which such offer shall be made;

(iv)

contain the undertaking of the Demanding Shareholders to provide all such information as may be required in order to permit the Company to comply with all Applicable Securities Laws;

(v)

be carried out in accordance with the procedures set forth in Schedule A to this Agreement; and

(vi)

specify whether such offer and sale shall be made by an underwritten public offering.

(e)

In the case of an underwritten public offering initiated pursuant to this Section 3.1, the Demanding Shareholders exercising their right to a Demand Registration will, subject to the Company's prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, have the right to select the lead underwriter or underwriters of such Demand Registration.

(f)

In the case of an underwritten Demand Registration, the Demanding Shareholders exercising their right to a Demand Registration and their representatives may participate in the negotiation of the terms of any underwriting agreement. Such participation in, and the completion of, the underwritten Demand Registration is conditional upon each of the

- 10 -

Demanding Shareholders and the Company agreeing that the terms of any underwriting agreement are satisfactory to it, in its reasonable discretion.

(g)

The Company shall have the right to retain counsel of its choice to assist it in fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement. The Company shall be responsible for all Registration Expenses in respect of a Demand Registration. The Demanding Shareholders will be responsible for Selling Expenses, unless both the Company and the Demanding Shareholders are selling Shares in an offering or Public Distribution, in which case the Selling Expenses will be shared by the Company and the applicable Demanding Shareholders on a proportionate basis, according to the number of Shares being Publicly Distributed by each.

(h)

Subject to the following, the Company may Publicly Distribute Shares in addition to the Qualifying Shares in connection with a Demand Registration.

(i)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.1, before exercising their rights to require a Demand Registration under this Agreement, the Shareholders will first consult with the Company and discuss whether there are any other methods or procedures reasonably available to the Shareholders at that time that would enable the Shareholders to sell the Qualifying Shares that they wish to dispose of at that time in compliance with Applicable Securities Laws for net proceeds comparable to those that the Shareholders would expect to receive pursuant to a qualified public offering of such Qualifying Shares pursuant to a Demand Registration (an 'Alternative Sale'). If the Shareholders are satisfied that, in their sole discretion, an Alternative Sale would be at least as advantageous to the Shareholders in all respects (including pricing, net proceeds, terms and timing) as a transaction pursuant to a Demand Registration, the Shareholders may determine, in their sole discretion, to not pursue a Demand Registration at that time. For the avoidance of doubt, the pursuit or completion by the Shareholders of such an Alternative Sale would not constitute an exercise by the Shareholders of its right to require a Demand Registration.

3.2 Piggy-Back Registration Rights

(a)

If, at any time and from time to time following the date hereof, the Company proposes to qualify the issuance of any Shares under Applicable Securities Laws or to make a Public Distribution, the Company will promptly give the Shareholders written notice (the 'Piggy-Back Notice') of the proposed qualification or Public Distribution, provided that notwithstanding any other provision herein at such time, the Shareholders (together with their respective Affiliates and Permitted Transferees) seeking to exercise their rights under this Section 3.2 (each, a 'Piggy-Back Shareholder') collectively meet the 5% Ownership Threshold.

(b)

Upon the written request of a Piggy-Back Shareholder delivered within two (2) Business Days (or 24 hours in the case of a Bought Deal offering as noted in Section 3.2(e)) after receipt of the Piggy-Back Notice by the Company, the Company will, subject to Applicable Securities Laws and subject to Section 3.6, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to, in conjunction with the proposed qualification or Public Distribution, cause to be included in such offering all of the Shares that the Piggy-Back Shareholder has requested (the 'Piggy-Back Shares') to be included in such offering (a 'Piggy-Back Registration') in accordance with the procedures set forth in Schedule A of this Agreement, provided however that the Piggy-Back Shareholders shall not be entitled to request any amendments to the terms of the underwriting agreed to by the Company.

- 11 -

(c)

The Company's expenses in respect of a Piggy-Back Registration will be borne by the Company, provided that any underwriting commission on the sale of Piggy-Back Shares and the costs of the Piggy-Back Shareholder(s)' legal counsel and accounting and financial advisors will be borne by the Piggy-Back Shareholder(s).

(d)

If the proposed Public Distribution is not completed within 180 calendar days of such request, the related notice of a Piggy-Back Registration delivered by the Piggy-Back Shareholders hereunder shall be deemed to be withdrawn and the notice contemplated by Section 3.2(a) shall be deemed to have not been given (in each case, unless otherwise agreed between the Company and the Piggy-Back Shareholders).

(e)

If the Company receives a Bought Deal letter relating to a Public Distribution, the Company shall give the Shareholders such notice as is practicable under the circumstances given the speed and urgency with which Bought Deals are customarily carried out in common market practice of its rights to participate thereunder and the Shareholders shall have 24 hours from the time the Company notifies them (in accordance with Section 3.2(a)) of such Bought Deal to provide the Piggy-Back Registration notice referred to in Section 3.2(b).

(f)

If both the Company and the Piggy-Back Shareholders are selling Shares in an offering or Public Distribution, the Selling Expenses will be shared by the Company and the applicable Piggy-Back Shareholders on a proportionate basis, according to the number of Shares being Publicly Distributed by each. The Piggy-Back Shareholder will not be responsible for any Registration Expenses in connection with the Piggy-Back Registration.

(g)

The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Piggy-Back Registration in connection with any Public Distribution in respect of an acquisition or merger transaction after the date hereof involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries and any other businesses.

(h)

The Company is under no obligation to complete any offering of its Shares it proposes to make in connection with a Piggy-Back Registration and will incur no liability to the Shareholders for its failure to do so.

3.3 Public Distribution in the United States

To the extent necessary or desirable to effect any Public Distribution due to the Company's status under any applicable United States securities laws, and only for as long as the Company remains a registrant with its common shares registered under United States federal securities laws, the Company will provide the Shareholders with registration rights enabling Public Distribution of Shares to the public in the United States that are substantially equivalent to the registration rights provided under this Agreement, including, without limitation, demand registration rights and piggy-back registration rights upon terms and conditions substantially equivalent to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, and provisions relating to indemnification upon terms and conditions substantially equivalent to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 3.7(c)-3.13.

3.4 Rights and Obligations of the Shareholders

The Shareholders (each, a 'Registration Rights Holder') will furnish to the Company such information and execute such documents regarding the Shares and the intended method of disposition thereof as the Company may reasonably require in order to effect the requested qualification for sale or other disposition. If an underwritten public offering is contemplated, a Registration Rights Holder shall execute an

- 12 -

underwriting agreement containing customary representations, warranties and indemnities (and contribution covenants) relating only to written information furnished by or on behalf of such Registration Rights Holder expressly for use in connection with such Prospectus (the 'Shareholder Information') for the benefit of the Company and the underwriters; provided that the obligation to indemnify shall be limited to the gross proceeds received by a Registration Rights Holder from the sale of Shares pursuant to such Public Distribution and will apply only to any misrepresentations or omissions of material facts in relation to the Shareholder Information provided by such Registration Rights Holder. A Registration Rights Holder shall notify the Company immediately upon the occurrence of any event as a result of which any of the aforesaid Prospectuses includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they are made. The Shareholders shall, in connection with any underwriting agreement entered into pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.2, make such representations and warranties and provide such indemnity as is customarily required of a selling shareholder in a secondary offering.

3.5 Holdback Agreements

In connection with the Demand Registration by the Shareholders, each Shareholder agrees, if so requested by the lead underwriter(s) or agent(s) in a written notice pursuant to this Section 3.5, not to effect (except as part of such Public Distribution in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or pursuant to an exempt transaction so long as any purchaser in such exempt transaction agrees in writing to be bound by any such holdback) any sale, distribution, short sale, loan, grant of options for the purchase of, or other disposition of, any Shares for such period as such lead underwriter(s) or agent(s) reasonably request(s), such period in no event to end more than ninety (90) days after the effective date of such offering. In addition, each Shareholder agrees to execute and deliver to any lead underwriter(s) or agent(s) in connection with such Demand Registration any lock-up letter reasonably requested by such lead underwriter or investment banker or agent of the Shareholders and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Shareholders.

3.6 Underwriters' Cutback

(a)

If the underwriter for the Public Distribution in connection with :

(i)

a Demand Registration advises the Shareholders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of Shares to be underwritten, then the Shareholders will so advise the Company, and the Company shall be required to include in the Public Distribution only the number of Shares that the underwriter believes marketing factors allow;

(ii)

a Piggy-Back Registration advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of Shares to be underwritten, then the Company will so advise the Shareholders, and the Company shall be required to include in the offering only the number of Shares that the underwriter believes marketing factors allow to sell without adversely impacting the Company's offering;

(the right of the underwriters to exclude Shares in an underwritten offering pursuant to this Section 3.6 shall be referred to as the 'Underwriters' Cutback').

(b)

If the number of Shares to be included in a Demand Registration is subject to an Underwriters' Cutback, the Shares that would otherwise be included will be reduced in the following order:

- 13 -

(i)

first, all Shares held by shareholders other than the Demanding Shareholders and all Shares to be issued by the Company will be excluded from the offering to the extent necessary; and

(ii)

second, if further limitation is required, the Shares held by the Demanding Shareholders will be excluded to the extent necessary.

(c)

If the number of Shares to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration is subject to an Underwriters' Cutback, the Shares that would otherwise be included will be reduced proportionately as between the Shares to be issued by the Company and the Shares to be sold by the Piggy-Back Shareholders pursuant to such offering.

(d)

If the number of Shares to be included in a Demand Registration is subject to an Underwriters' Cutback resulting in Shares held by the Demanding Shareholders being excluded pursuant to Section 3.6(b)(ii), and the Demanding Shareholders do not as a result withdraw their request for inclusion of their Shares in such Demand Registration, such Public Distribution shall be deemed to constitute an exercise by the Shareholder of its right to require a Demand Registration in accordance with this Agreement.

3.7 Withdrawal of Registration Rights Holder

(a)

A Registration Rights Holder will have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Shares in any Demand Registration or Piggy-Back Registration pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw, provided, however, that:

(i)

such request must be made in writing prior to the signing of any binding agreement in respect of the offering (including, for clarity, an underwriting agreement or Bought Deal letter); and

(ii)

such withdrawal will be irrevocable and, after making such withdrawal, such Registration Rights Holder will no longer have any right to include its Shares in the Public Distribution pertaining to which such withdrawal was made.

(b)

Provided that a Registration Rights Holder withdraws all of its Shares from a Demand Registration or a Piggy-Back Registration in accordance with Section 3.7(a) prior to the filing of a preliminary Prospectus, such Registration Rights Holder shall be deemed to not have participated in or requested such Demand Registration or a Piggy-Back Registration, as applicable.

(c)

Notwithstanding Section 3.7(a)(i), if a Registration Rights Holder withdraws its request for inclusion of its Shares from a Demand Registration or Piggy-Back Registration at any time after having learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business or prospects of the Company from that known to Shareholders at the time of their request, that makes the proposed offering unreasonable in the good faith judgment of the Shareholders, such Registration Rights Holder shall not be deemed to have participated in or requested such Demand Registration or Piggy-Back Registration.

(d)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company postpones the filing of a Prospectus pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(v) and if a Registration Rights Holder, at any time prior to

- 14 -

receiving written notice that the Valid Business Reason for such postponement no longer exists, advises the Company in writing that it has determined to withdraw its request for a Demand Registration, then such Demand Registration and the request therefor shall be deemed to be withdrawn and such request will be deemed not to have been made for purposes of determining whether a Registration Rights Holder exercised its right to a Demand Registration.

3.8 Indemnification by the Company

(a)

In connection with any Demand Registration or Piggy-Back Registration, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Registration Rights Holder, its Affiliates, and each of its respective directors, officers and employees (together with each Registration Rights Holder, the 'Holder Indemnitees') from and against any loss (excluding loss of profits), liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, including any amounts paid in settlement of any investigation, order, litigation, proceeding or claim, joint or several, as incurred, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, or any amendment thereto, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or as incurred, arising out of or based upon any failure by the Company to comply with Applicable Securities Laws; provided that the Company will not be liable under this Section 3.8 for any settlement of any action effected without its written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided further that the indemnity provided for in this Section 3.8, in respect of a Registration Rights Holder, will not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon information furnished to the Company by such Registration Rights Holder or the underwriters of the offering for use in the Prospectus. Any amounts advanced by the Company to an Indemnified Party (as defined in Section 3.10) pursuant to this Section 3.8 as a result of such losses will be returned to the Company if it is finally determined by a court in a judgment not subject to appeal or final review that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification by the Company.

(b)

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, in connection with any Demand Registration or any Piggy-Back Registration, in no event will a Registration Rights Holder be liable for indemnification or contribution hereunder for an amount greater than the lesser of: (i) the net sales proceeds actually received by such Registration Rights Holder; and (ii) such Registration Rights Holder's proportionate share of any such liability based on the net sales proceeds actually received by such Registration Rights Holder and the aggregate net sales proceeds of the Public Distribution.

3.9 Indemnification by Registration Rights Holder

In connection with any Demand Registration or Piggy-Back Registration, a Registration Rights Holder will indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law the Company and each of the Company's Directors, officers and employees from and against any loss (excluding loss of profits), liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, including any amounts paid in settlement of any investigation, order, litigation, proceeding or claim, joint or several, as incurred, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, or any amendment thereto, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or the alleged omission

- 15 -

therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or as incurred, arising out of or based upon any failure by such Registration Rights Holder to comply with Applicable Securities Laws, but in any case only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Prospectus included solely in reliance upon information furnished to the Company by such Registration Rights Holder for use in the Prospectus; provided that such Registration Rights Holder will not be liable under this Section 3.8 for any settlement of any action effected without its written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any amounts advanced by a Registration Rights Holder to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 3.8 as a result of such losses will be returned to such Registration Rights Holder if it is finally determined by a court in a judgment not subject to appeal or final review that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification by such Registration Rights Holder.

3.10 Defence of the Action by the Indemnifying Parties

Each party entitled to indemnification under this Article 3 (the 'Indemnified Party') will give written notice to the party or parties required to provide indemnification (the 'Indemnifying Party') promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party pursuant to the provisions of this Article 3 except to the extent of the damage or prejudice, if any, suffered by such delay in notification. The Indemnifying Party will assume the defence of such action, including the employment of counsel to be chosen by the Indemnifying Party to be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and payment of expenses. The Indemnified Party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the legal fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, unless (a) the employment of such counsel is authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defence of such action, (b) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defence of such claim within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim (including not having employed counsel to take charge of the defence of such claim), or (c) the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on the opinion of counsel, a conflict of interest may exist between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claims, including because there may be defences available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party (in each of cases (b) and (c), the Indemnifying Party will not have the right to direct the defence of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party if the Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party that the Indemnified Party has elected to employ separate counsel), in any of which events the reasonable fees and expenses will be borne by the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party, in the defence of any such claim or litigation, will, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

3.11 Contribution

If the indemnification provided for in this Article 3 is unavailable to a party that would have been an Indemnified Party under this Article 3 in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses referred to herein, then each party that would have been an Indemnifying Party hereunder will, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and such Indemnified Party on the other hand in connection with the statement or omission that resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state

- 16 -

a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or such Indemnified Party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party under this Section 3.10 as a result of the losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The Company and each Registration Rights Holder agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.10 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 3.10.

3.12 Survival

The indemnification provided for under this Article 3 will survive the expiry of this Agreement and will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigations made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such Indemnified Party, and will survive any transfer of securities pursuant thereto.

3.13 Conflict

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions regarding indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions of the underwriting agreement shall prevail.

3.14 Acting as Trustee

(a)

The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to this Article 3, a Registration Rights Holder is contracting on its own behalf and as agent for the other Holder Indemnitees referred to in Section 3.8. In this regard, a Registration Rights Holder will act as trustee for such Holder Indemnitees of the covenants of the Company under this Article 3 with respect to such Holder Indemnitees and accepts these trusts and will hold and enforce those covenants on behalf of such Holder Indemnitees.

(b)

Each Registration Rights Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to this Article 3, the Company is contracting on its own behalf and as agent for the other Indemnified Parties referred to in Section 3.9. In this regard, the Company will act as trustee for such Indemnified Parties of the covenants of each Registration Rights Holder under this Article 3 with respect to such Indemnified Parties and accepts these trusts and will hold and enforce those covenants on behalf of such Indemnified Parties.

(b)

the Agreement is terminated by the Shareholders, acting in their sole discretion, provided that such Shareholders are not permitted to terminate this Agreement until the date that is at least eighteen (18) months from the effective date of this Agreement;

(c)

the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; and

(d)

if, at anytime after the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the date of this Agreement, a Shareholder proceeds with or initiates any matter that would otherwise, but for the expiry of the Standstill Period, have been prohibited during such period pursuant to Section 6.17 of the Purchase Agreement, but such termination shall apply and operate in such case only in respect of such Shareholder.

Without prejudice to any other or similar conditions imposed hereunder with respect to any such transfer, no assignment permitted under the terms of this Section 5.4 will be effective unless the Permitted Transferee

- 18 -

to which the assignment is being made, has delivered to the Company a written acknowledgment and agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the Permitted Transferee will be bound by, and will be a party to, this Agreement and will abide by any hold period or standstill obligations, if any, applicable at such time to the transferring Shareholder pursuant to the terms of the Transaction.

5.6 Specific Performance

The Parties agree that irreparable harm would occur, for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy at law, in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties may seek injunctive relief, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, and to enforce compliance with the terms of this Agreement without the proof of actual damages and without any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the Parties may be entitled at law, equity or under this Agreement.

5.17 Severability

If any term or other provision of this Agreement shall be determined by a court, administrative agency or arbitrator in any jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not render the entire Agreement invalid and shall not affect the validity, legality or

- 21 -

enforceability of such term or other provision in any other jurisdiction. Rather, this Agreement shall be construed as if not containing the particular invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision, and all other provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.

(c)

in the case of a Demand Registration, subject to Applicable Securities Laws, keep the Prospectus effective until the Selling Shareholders have completed the sale or disposition described in the Prospectus, but for no longer than sixty (60) calendar days, provided that the Selling Shareholders use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to complete the sale or disposition as soon as reasonably practicable;

Shareholders as many copies of such supplement or amendment as the Selling Shareholders may reasonably request;

(f)

use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to list such Shares on each securities exchange or quotation system on which Shares are then listed or quoted, if such Shares are not already so listed or quoted;

(i)

take such other actions and execute and deliver such other documents as may be reasonably necessary to give full effect to the rights of the Selling Shareholders under this Agreement.
