(d) The Corporation shall:

(i) use commercially reasonable efforts to file a Shelf Prospectus or S-3 Registration Statement, as applicable, as soon as practicable but in no event later than 20 days following the receipt by the Corporation of the Shelf Request, provided that the Corporation shall be permitted to defer the filing of such Shelf Prospectus or S-3 Registration Statement in the event that a Shelf Request is received during a Blackout Period, until such time as the financial statements required to be included or the material non-public information resulting in the Blackout Period is required to be filed with the SEC or otherwise disclosed to the public; and

(ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a receipt from the Canadian Securities Regulators for the Shelf Prospectus, or to cause the S-3 Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC, as applicable, as soon as possible after filing.

9

(b) Any such request shall be made by a notice in writing (a “Demand Registration Request”) to the Corporation and shall:

(i) specify the number and the class or classes of Registrable Securities that the Requesting Holder intends to offer and sell (subject to Section 3.2(c), the “Designated Registrable Securities”);

Each such Holder that is not a Requesting Holder and that wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration (a “Demanding Holder”) shall so notify the Corporation (a “Demand Exercise Notice”) within 3 Business Days (except in the case of a bought deal, in which case the Demanding Holder shall have until 6:30 am Toronto time on the next Business Day) after the receipt by the Demanding Holder of the Demand Request Notice. A Demand Exercise Notice shall be in writing and shall specify the number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holder wishes to include in the Demand Registration.

(d) Upon giving a Demand Exercise Notice, subject to the remainder of this Article 3, the applicable Demanding Holder shall be entitled to have its Registrable Securities included in the Demand Registration and the term “Designated Registrable Securities” shall be deemed to include such Registrable Securities for the purposes of this Agreement. Together, the Requesting Holder and each Demanding Holder (if any) are the “Demand Participating Holders”.

10

(e) Subject to this Agreement, the Corporation shall, subject to Canadian Securities Laws or U.S. Securities Laws, as applicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to file within 20 days following delivery of a Demand Registration Request one or more Prospectuses or Registration Statements (provided that the Corporation shall be permitted to defer the filing of such Prospectuses or Registration Statements in the event that a Demand Registration Request is received during a Blackout Period, until such time as the financial statements required to be included or the material non-public information resulting in the Blackout Period is required to be filed with the SEC or otherwise disclosed to the public) in compliance with applicable Canadian Securities Laws or applicable U.S. Securities Laws, in order to permit the Distribution in Canada or the United States of all of the Designated Registrable Securities. The Parties shall cooperate in a timely manner in connection with such Distribution and the procedures in Article 4 of this Agreement shall apply.

(f) The Corporation shall not be obliged to effect:

(i) more than two Demand Registrations in any fiscal year of the Corporation provided that for purposes of this Section 3.2(f)(i), a Demand Registration shall not be considered as having been effected until a receipt has been issued by applicable Canadian Securities Regulators for the Prospectus or the SEC has declared effective the Registration Statement pursuant to which the Designated Registrable Securities are to be sold; provided that this Section 3.2(f)(i) may not be relied upon by the Corporation in respect of any Demand Registration in which the Demand Participating Holders shall not have sold at least 75% of the Designated Registrable Securities sought to be included in such Demand Registration;

(ii) a Demand Registration in the event that the Corporation has received a prior Demand Registration Request from another Substantial Holder that has not been rejected by the Corporation and which offering has not yet closed, provided that this Section 3.2(f)(ii) may only be relied on by the Corporation for a period of 90 days after receipt of the prior Demand Registration Request;

(iii) a Demand Registration within a period of 90 days after the date of completion of a Distribution in respect of which either a Demand Registration Request or a Piggyback Notice was delivered;

(iv) a Demand Registration in the event the Corporation determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with the Demand Participating Holders and its financial and legal advisors, that

(A) either (1) the effect of the filing of a Prospectus or Registration Statement would have a material adverse effect on the Corporation because such action would materially interfere with a pending or proposed material acquisition, reorganization or similar material transaction involving the Corporation; or (2) there exists at the time material non-public information relating to the Corporation the disclosure of which would be materially adverse to the Corporation; and

11

(B) that it is in the best interests of the Corporation to defer the filing of a Prospectus or Registration Statement at such time,

in which case the Corporation’s obligations under this Section 3.2 may be deferred for a period of not more than 90 days from the date of the Corporation’s receipt of the applicable Demand Registration Request, and the Corporation shall not qualify or register any securities offered by the Corporation during such period; provided that this Section 3.2(f)(iv) may not be relied upon by the Corporation more than once in any 12-month period;

(v) a Demand Registration during any regularly scheduled black-out period in which insiders of the Corporation are restricted from trading in securities of the Corporation under the Corporation’s insider trading policy or any other applicable policy of the Corporation, or under Canadian Securities Laws or U.S. Securities Laws, as applicable; or

(vi) an underwritten Demand Registration in respect of a number of Registrable Securities that is expected to result in gross sale proceeds to the Demand Participating Holders of less than US$10 million.

(g) In the case of a Distribution initiated pursuant to this Section 3.2, the Requesting Holder shall have the right to select the managing underwriter(s) or managing agent(s) and the counsel retained thereby which will perform such Distribution, provided, however, the Requesting Holder’s selection will be subject to the approval of the Corporation, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Corporation shall have the right to retain counsel of its choice to assist it in fulfilling its obligations under this Article 3.

(h) Subject to the remainder of this Article 3, the Corporation shall be entitled to include Common Shares that are not Registrable Securities in any Demand Registration upon written notice to the Demand Participating Holders not more than 2 Business Days (except in the case of a bought deal, in which case the Corporation shall have until 6:30 am Toronto time on the next Business Day) after the Demand Registration Request was delivered, specifying the number of Common Shares to be included by the Corporation in such Demand Registration.

(i) If Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Corporation shall:

(i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form; and

(ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Corporation shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.

12

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Corporation be permitted to name any Holder or Affiliate of a Holder as any “underwriter” without the prior written consent of such Holder.

(k) Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 3.2, if the SEC informs the Corporation that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415 of the U.S. Securities Act, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Corporation agrees to promptly inform each of the Holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file an additional Registration Statement as required by the SEC, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the SEC, on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such additional Registration Statement, the Corporation shall be obligated to use diligent efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including without limitation, SEC Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09.

(l) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the SEC or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced as follows:

(i) First, the Corporation shall reduce or eliminate any securities to be included other than Registrable Securities;

(ii) Second, the Corporation shall reduce Registrable Securities represented by any Common Shares issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any of the securities of the Corporation held by a Holder; and

(iii) Third, the Corporation shall reduce Registrable Securities represented by Common Shares (applied, in the case that some Common Shares may be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Common Shares held by such Holders).

In the event of a cutback hereunder, the Corporation shall give the Holder at least five Business Days’ prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Holder’s allotment. In the event the Corporation amends the Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Corporation will use its best efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by the SEC or SEC Guidance provided to the Corporation or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-1 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Registration Statement, as amended.

13

3.3 Piggyback Registration Rights

(a) If at any time and from time to time the Corporation proposes to make a Distribution for its own account, other than (i) a Distribution on a Form S-4 (or any successor or similar form) in connection with a direct or indirect acquisition by the Corporation of another Person, (ii) a Distribution on a Form S-8 (or any successor or similar form), or (iii) a Distribution pursuant to a Demand Registration Request, the Corporation shall promptly give written notice of such Distribution (a “Piggyback Registration”) to the Holders (the “Piggyback Notice”).

A Piggyback Exercise Notice shall be in writing and shall specify the number of Registrable Securities that the Piggyback Holder wishes to offer and sell in the Piggyback Registration.

(d) Upon giving a Piggyback Exercise Notice, subject to the remainder of this Article 3, the Corporation shall use reasonable commercial efforts to include in the Piggyback Registration the applicable Piggyback Registrable Securities specified in the Piggyback Exercise Notice.

(e) The Corporation may at any time after giving a Piggyback Notice and prior to the time a Prospectus or Registration Statement is filed in connection with such Piggyback Registration, and without the consent of the Holders, abandon the proposed Piggyback Registration in which the Piggyback Holders have requested to participate, provided that the Corporation will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such abandoned Piggyback Registration, and provided further that if permitted pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Agreement, one or more Piggyback Holders may continue the Piggyback Registration as a Demand Registration.

14

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to offerings conducted by underwriter(s) or agent(s), the Corporation shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3.3 that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 (without volume restrictions or current public information requirements) promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the U.S. Securities Act or that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement that is available for resales or other dispositions by such Holder.

3.4 Withdrawal of Registration

Any Participating Holder shall have the right to withdraw its Demand Registration Request, Demand Exercise Notice, or Piggyback Exercise Notice, as applicable, without incurring any liability to the Corporation or any other Person by giving written notice to the Corporation of its request to withdraw; provided, however, that:

(a) such request must be made in writing five Business Days prior to the execution of the underwriting agreement or agency agreement or other similar agreement with respect to such offering (if any) (except in the case of a bought deal, in which case such request must be made prior to the date of the bought deal letter or underwriting agreement, as applicable);

(b) such withdrawal will be irrevocable and, after making such withdrawal, the applicable Participating Holder will no longer have any right to include its Registrable Securities in the Distribution pertaining to which such withdrawal was made; and

(i) the Corporation shall not be liable under this Section 5.1(a) for any settlement of any action effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and

23

(ii) the indemnity provided for in this Section 5.1(a) in respect of any Holder, shall not apply to any Losses to the extent arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Corporation by or on behalf of a Holder or underwriter for use in the Prospectus, Registration Statement or marketing materials.

(b) Any amounts advanced by the Corporation to an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 5.1(a) of this Agreement as a result of such Losses shall be returned to the Corporation 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 Corporation.

5.2 Indemnification by the Holders

(a) In connection with any Demand Registration and/or Piggyback Registration that includes Registrable Securities, each Participating Holder (severally and not jointly) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation and each of its directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any Losses arising out of or based on any untrue statement or omission of a material fact, or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact, made or required to be made in the Prospectus, Registration Statement or marketing materials, as applicable, included in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Corporation by or on behalf of the Participating Holder for use in the Prospectus, Registration Statement, or marketing materials, provided that:

(i) the Participating Holder shall not be liable under this Section 5.2(a) for any settlement of any action effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and

(ii) the indemnity provided for in this Section 5.2(a) shall not apply to any Losses to the extent arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission contained in any Prospectus or Registration Statement relating to a Demand Registration and/or Piggyback Registration if the Corporation or any underwriter failed to send or deliver a copy of the Prospectus or the U.S. Prospectus, as applicable, to the Person asserting such Losses on or prior to the delivery of written confirmation of any sale of securities covered thereby to such Person in any case where such Prospectus or U.S. Prospectus corrected such untrue statement or omission.

24

(b) Any amounts advanced by a Participating Holder to an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 5.2(a) as a result of such Losses shall be returned to the applicable Participating 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 the applicable Participating Holder.

5.3 Limitation of Liability

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, in connection with any Demand Registration or any Piggyback Registration, in no event shall a Holder be liable for indemnification or contribution hereunder for an amount greater than the lesser of: (i) the net sales proceeds actually received by that Holder; and (ii) the Holder’s proportionate share of any such liability based on the net sales proceeds actually received by the Holder and the aggregate net sales proceeds of the Distribution, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by the Holder.

5.4 Defence of the Action by the Indemnifying Parties

Each Party entitled to indemnification under this Article 5 of this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the Party 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 shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party pursuant to the provisions of this Article 5 of this Agreement except to the extent of the damage or prejudice suffered by such delay in notification. The Indemnifying Party may assume the defence of such action, including the employment of counsel to be chosen by the Indemnifying Party to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indemnified Party, and the payment of expenses. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the legal fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, unless the employment of such counsel is authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defence of such action, or the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel to take charge of the defence of such action or the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on the opinion of counsel, that there may be defences available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defence of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party), in any of which events the reasonable fees and expenses shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party, provided, further, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be required to pay the expenses of more than one law firm as counsel for all Indemnified Parties pursuant to this sentence. No Indemnifying Party, in the defence of any such claim or litigation, shall, 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.

25

5.5 Contribution

(a) If the indemnification provided for in Section 5.1 or 5.2, as applicable, is unavailable to a Party that would have been an Indemnified Party under Section 5.1 or 5.2, as applicable, in respect of any Losses referred to herein, then each Party that would have been an Indemnifying Party hereunder shall, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses 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 which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(b) The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state 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; provided, however, that, in any such case, no Person guilty of misrepresentation within the meaning of Canadian Securities Laws or U.S. Securities Laws shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of misrepresentation.

(c) The amount paid or payable by a Party under this Section 5.5 as a result of the Losses 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.

(d) The Corporation and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.5 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 5.5.

5.6 Holders are Trustee

The Corporation hereby acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to Section 5.1, each Holder is contracting on their own behalf and as agent for its respective directors, officers, employees and agents and underwriters (collectively, the “Holder’s Indemnified Parties”) referred to in Section 5.1 of this Agreement. In this regard, each Holder shall act as trustee for such Holder’s Indemnified Parties of the covenants of the Corporation under Section 5.1 with respect to such Holder’s Indemnified Parties and accepts these trusts and shall hold and enforce those covenants on behalf of such Holder’s Indemnified Parties.

5.7 Corporation is Trustee

The Holders hereby acknowledge and agree that, with respect to Section 5.2, the Corporation is contracting on its own behalf and as agent for the other Indemnified Parties referred to in Section 5.2. In this regard, the Corporation shall act as trustee for such Indemnified Parties of the covenants of the Holders under Section 5.2 of this Agreement with respect to such Indemnified Parties and accepts these trusts and shall hold and enforce those covenants on behalf of such Indemnified Parties.
