About the Offering
This prospectus relates to the resale by selling shareholders of up to 16,849,633 shares of our capital stock, consisting of up to 8,439,836 common shares held by selling shareholders and up to 8,409,797 common shares issuable upon exercise of warrants.
The issuances of such securities to the selling shareholders were made in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for private transactions. Additional information concerning the transactions in which the rights to acquire the shares covered by this prospectus were obtained by the selling shareholders is set forth in the section of this prospectus entitled “Selling Security Holders.”
Sales By Selling Security Holders
The selling shareholders may offer the common shares pursuant to this prospectus in varying amounts and transactions so long as this prospectus is then current under the rules of the SEC and we have not withdrawn the registration statement. The offering of common shares may be through the facilities of the OTC Bulletin Board or such other exchange or reporting system where the common shares may be traded. Brokerage commissions may be paid or discounts allowed in connection with such sales; however, it is anticipated that the discounts allowed or commissions paid will be no more than the ordinary brokerage commissions paid on sales effected through brokers or dealers. To our knowledge, as of the date hereof, no one has made any arrangements with a broker or dealer concerning the offer or sale of the common shares. See “Plan of Distribution.”
Outstanding Securities
As of July 28, 2006, there were approximately 32,771,402 common shares outstanding. On a fully-diluted basis, giving effect to and assuming the exercise of all of our warrants and options, we had outstanding an aggregate of approximately 46,119,408 common shares as of July 28, 2006.
No Proceeds
We are not offering or selling any securities under this prospectus and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the selling shareholder’s securities. We may receive up to $7,265,619 upon the subsequent exercise of the warrants included in this prospectus. However, we will pay all costs associated with this prospectus.
Risk Factors
An investment in the common shares of our Company is subject to a number of risks. We have set forth these risk factors below under the heading “Risk Factors” which you should carefully review.
RISK FACTORS
The common shares offered by this prospectus are speculative, involve a high degree of risk and should only be purchased by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment. You should therefore carefully review the following risk factors, as well as all of the other information in this prospectus, before investing in the securities offered by this prospectus.
We have lost money in the past, we have realized minimal revenues from continuing operations, we expect to continue to sustain losses in the future and may never achieve profitability. We have not generated sufficient revenue to date from the sales of our solutions and licensing of our products. For the year ended December 31, 2005, we posted a net loss of $7,109,000. For the year ended December 31, 2004, we posted a net loss of $7,517,000. For the year ended December 31, 2003, we posted a net loss of $4,959,000. For the fourteen months ended December 31, 2003, we posted a net loss of $5,618,000. For the year ended October 31, 2003, we posted a net loss of $4,834,000, and $4,065,000 for the year ended October 31, 2002. We generated revenue of $1,101,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005, $2,603,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004, $1,395,000 in the year ended December 31, 2003, $1,436,000 for th e fourteen months ended December 31, 2003, $967,000 in the twelve months ended October 31, 2003, $710,000 in the year ended October 31, 2002. The auditors’ report on our December 31, 2005 consolidated financial statements included additional comments for U.S. readers that state that conditions and events exist that cast substantial doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty. We may never achieve profitability or maintain profitability, if achieved, on a consistent basis.
We have limited financial resources, and if we fail to either raise capital when needed or generate revenues, we may need to cease operations. Our ability to continue operations during the next fiscal year may be dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing. Although we have made progress in developing our products and have completed initial consumer deployments, our revenue from operations is not sufficient to cover our operating expenses at present and is unlikely to be sufficient within fiscal 2006. We have obtained funding for operations from private equity placements in the past, but there is no assurance we will be able to do so again in the near future at commercially reasonable terms or at all despite the progress of the business. In September 2005 we completed a private placement with the issuance of 5,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.40 per common share and 71,250 common share purchase warrants for gross proceeds of $2,000,000 to us. The warrants expire on September 26, 2008 and are exercisable at $0.40 per share. In December 2004 we completed a private placement with the issuance of 6,625,000 common shares at a price of $0.40 per common share for gross proceeds of $2,650,000. In January 2004 we completed a private placement through the issuance of 1,000,000 common shares and 1,100,000 common share purchase warrants. We received gross proceeds of $2,000,000 in the transaction. The warrants comprised of 500,000 warrants exercisable at $2.00 , 250,000 at $2.05 and 350,000 at $0.60. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one common share for a period of three years. As well, the terms of new capital, if any, may materially dilute existing shareholders. Our failure to either raise capital when needed or to generate revenues would leave us with insufficient resources to continue our business.
We depend on a limited number of key customers, and if we lose any of these customers, or if these customers fail to meet their obligations to us, our operating results and financial condition will likely be adversely affected. The loss of any key customer and our inability to replace revenues provided by a key customer may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Our customer base includes large financial institutions. As a result, we maintain individually significant receivable balances due from them. If these customers fail to meet their payment obligations, our operating results and financial condition will likely be adversely affected. As of April 30, 2006, three customers accounted for 54%, 35% and 11% of our total accounts receivable.
Our business plan is dependent upon customer adoption and commercial deployment of our products; if our business plan is not accepted, we may need to cease operations. Our ability to continue operations is also dependent on the acceptance of our security solutions and the adoption of transaction-based applications using security and identity management over mobile data networks as an accepted method of data transmission in sufficient volume for us to generate enough revenues to fund our expenses and capital requirements. The mobile data market is in a very early stage, and it may not develop to a sufficient level to support our business.
We market our solutions to large companies and mobile network operators. The implementation of our solutions by these entities typically involves a lengthy education process and a significant technical evaluation and commitment of capital and other resources. This process is also subject to the risk of delays associated with customers’ internal budgeting and other procedures for approving large capital expenditures, deploying new technologies within their networks and testing and accepting new technologies that affect key operations. As a result, the associated sales and implementation cycles can be lengthy. Our quarterly and annual operating results could be materially harmed if orders forecasted for a specific customer for a particular quarter are not realized.
Many of our early licensing agreements permitted our customers to examine and test our products with no initial up-front payments to us. These customers are not required to make payments to us until they begin to use our solutions for commercial purposes. In certain cases, we also enter into evaluation agreements, whereby potential customers may examine our solutions for a specified period of time with no payment to us. Our current licensing agreements typically require the customer to pay a license fee attributable to the software components and the solution and upon shipment of these items to the customer, although we have sometimes waived the up-front fee.
Fluctuations in foreign exchange may adversely affect our business. Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Sales generated outside Canada are generally denominated in U.S. dollars. During fiscal 2004 and 2005, we have incurred a large portion of our expenses in U.S. dollars, but we also incurred a smaller portion of our expenses in other currencies including Canadian dollars, Pound Sterling and Hong Kong dollars. Changes in the value of these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar may result in currency losses that may have an adverse effect on our operating results. With the completion of our financings in September 2005, we have a portion of our cash resources in U.S. dollar short-term investments and in Canadian dollars. During fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2005, we maintained a portion of our cash resources in both U.S. and Canadian dollar term deposits.
We may not be successful if we fail to retain our key technical personnel. During 2004, in order to reduce our largest single expenditure, salaries and benefits, we reduced our headcount of employees in the Diversinet, DSS and Caradas operations. During 2003 and 2002, we continued to review our cost structure and have continued to reduce our headcount. Workforce reductions may have a detrimental effect on the morale of remaining employees, impeding their performance levels. In addition, our ability to attract potential new employees in the future may suffer if our reputation was hurt by this staff reduction.
We currently have three senior officers and 26 employees and contractors. We may not be able to improve our solutions and products or create new products if we lose any of our key employees or contractors. We do not maintain key person life insurance policies on any of our employees. Skilled technical personnel can be difficult to attract depending on the strength of the economy and competitive opportunities. We may not be able to retain our current employees if they receive better job offers from other employers. Our weakened financial strength through 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 may not alleviate this risk in the future.
We are involved in litigation which could result in judgments against us which, in the aggregate, could total more than our combined current assets, working capital and net assets. There is currently one material claim pending against us. If we lose this suit or enter into settlement requiring us to pay cash or issue any of our common shares, our liquidity and financial position will be adversely affected, and our shareholders’ ownership may be diluted. In May 2000 we were sued, along with our wholly owned Barbados subsidiary, in an action in which the plaintiff is seeking damages of $1,533,950 for breach of an October 25, 1995 dealer agreement with our previous printing business regarding the distribution of printing equipment and damages of $25,000,000 for loss of reputation and loss of opportunity, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, and costs.
We have limited experience in the mobile data security software and identity management solutions field, and we are therefore subject to risks inherent in establishing a new business. We have been in the mobile data security software field since fiscal 1997 and the identity management solutions field since 2001, and we have only generated minimal revenues from this business. We are not sufficiently established to fully evaluate or forecast our prospects, and we are subject to the risks inherent in establishing a new business enterprise.
We are dependent on the adoption of secure transaction-based applications over mobile data networks as an accepted method of data transmission. In order for us to be successful, transaction-based applications using mobile data security infrastructure over mobile data networks must be adopted as a means of trusted and secure communications and commerce to a sufficient extent and within a reasonable time frame, particularly considering our existing financial resources and future capital needs. Since trusted and secure communications and commerce over these networks is new and evolving, it is difficult to predict with any assurance the size of this market and its growth rate, if any.
If the market for trusted and secure communications and commerce utilizing mobile data solutions over these networks fails to develop or develops more slowly than expected, we may have difficulty selling solutions or generating sufficient revenues to support our business.
Our ability to keep pace with the rapid technological changes and frequent new product introductions common in the information and communications technology industry will determine our ability to remain competitive and affect the viability of our products. To succeed in the mobile data security and the identity management solutions business, we believe that we will have to continuously improve the performance, features and reliability of our products and be the first to the market with new products or enhancements to existing products. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to improve our products in a timely manner. The emerging market for security solutions for mobile data security and the identity management is characterized by rapid technological developments, frequent new product introductions and evolving industry standards. We anticipate this evolution will also occur in the mobile data security and the identity management solutions market in which we focus our technological developments. The adoption of new standards, or the informal adoption of certain standards by a significant percentage of the computer security and related industries, could require us to reconfigure our products. We may not be able to counter challenges to our current products or to introduce product offerings that keep pace with the technological changes introduced by competitors or persons seeking to breach information security. We are not currently aware of any significant new technologies either under development or about to be introduced in the mobile data security or the identity management solutions security field.
Further, our products are based on public key infrastructure based security (also known as PKI based security) and identity management technology and depend in part on the application of certain mathematical principles forming the basis of the encryption technology that we license and embed in our products. Any significant advance in techniques for decoding or cracking encrypted computer information could render our products obsolete or unmarketable.
Our products use algorithms, or mathematical formulae, to encrypt and secure information. The security afforded by our products is predicated on the assumption that these mathematical formulae are very difficult to solve. This assumption is based on the fact that years of theoretical and empirical research by leading mathematicians have not resulted in any efficient solutions to these problems. There can be no assurance, however, that future research will not uncover efficient solutions to these problems.
Also, even if no breakthrough in solving these problems is discovered, they may eventually be solved by computer systems having sufficient speed and power. If improved techniques for decoding encrypted information are developed or made possible by the increased availability of powerful computing resources, our products could be rendered obsolete.
The highly competitive nature of the information and communications technology fields could prevent us from achieving success. Our solutions are targeted at the new and rapidly evolving market for authentication and authorization products for mobile data communications, commerce, telecommunications and identity management. This market is not mature. We anticipate that it will be intensely competitive, subject to rapid change and significantly affected by new solution, product and service introductions and other market activities of industry participants. Many of our competitors and potential competitors have a longer operating history, greater name recognition, larger installed customer base and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we have. As a result, they may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, and they could there fore render our technologies and products obsolete.
Because of the broad potential application of our authentication and authorization software and identity management solutions, we compete with vendors offering a wide range of computer security products. These competitors include Entrust Technologies, Certicom, and RSA Security. There also may be other potential entrants to the market of whom we are not yet aware.
Our licensing revenues are dependent on our customers’ acceptance and use of our software products, and we expect our sales cycle to be lengthy. Many of our early licensing agreements permitted our customers to examine and test our products with no initial up-front payments to us. These customers are not required to make payments to us until they begin to use our product for commercial purposes. We also enter into evaluation agreements in certain cases, whereby potential customers may examine our solutions for a specified period of time with no payment to us. Our current licensing agreements typically require the customer to pay a license fee attributable to the software components and the application solution and upon shipment of these items to the customer, although we have sometimes waived the up-front fee.
Customers cannot simply license our solutions and begin using them immediately in their businesses. Making our solutions work with a particular customer’s application may be a complex, expensive and, in certain cases, an ultimately unsuccessful process. This process may also require the customer to make significant commitments of time and money. Based on discussions with our customers, we believe that a customer’s required cycle of testing, internal approval and network modifications can reasonably take between six and nine months or longer. Therefore, we expect our sales cycle, or the time between entering into an agreement and when we begin to receive and recognize revenue, to be six to nine months or longer. Also, the amount of revenue can be very limited until the customer’s product is made generally available and adopted. Our sales are also subject to significant risks over which we have little or no co ntrol, including customers’ budgetary constraints and internal acceptance procedures regarding security-related matters. To mitigate the risk of our current software licensing business model we are currently exploring the viability of a managed security service provider business model to supply our offerings through subscription-based licensing arrangements.
We lack experience in sales and marketing, and depend on our relationships with more established corporations to assist in selling and marketing our products. We have limited sales and marketing experience and limited money to fund marketing. A significant part of our business strategy is to form strategic relationships with more established companies to expose our solutions to a larger customer base than we could reach through direct sales and marketing force. Our existing strategic relationships have not resulted in any significant revenues to date and may not result in any revenues in the future.
As a result of our emphasis on these relationships, our success will partially depend on both the ultimate success of the third parties with which we have these relationships and the ability of these third parties to market our products and services successfully.
We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to enter into additional, or maintain our existing, strategic relationships on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Our failure to do so would require us to devote substantially more resources to the distribution, sales and marketing of our products and services. Also, these strategic relationships do not afford us any exclusive marketing or distribution rights. The third parties may reduce their commitments to us in the future or pursue alternative technologies.
The nature of our products subjects us to product liability risks, potential lost revenues and adverse publicity in the event of product failure.
Our customers may rely on our products to prevent unauthorized access to computer networks. Malfunctions or design defects of our products could:
•
cause interruptions, delays or cessation of services to our customers;
•
result in product returns;
•
result in liability for damages;
•
adversely affect the market’s perception of the security offered by our product, resulting in a lack of demand for our products; or
•
require us to make significant expenditures of capital or other resources to alleviate the problem.
Our license agreements may not be adequate to limit our liability. A large number of claims by our customers could subject us to significant liability as well as limit the demand for our solutions and products. In most cases our license and support agreements attempt to limit our liability to the total amount of the licensing and support fees paid during the twelve-month period preceding an alleged error in or failure of our software. This contractual provision may not always be enforceable. Courts have held that contractual limitations on liability of this type, or the “shrink-wrap licenses” in which they are sometimes embodied, are unenforceable because the licensee does not sign them. If these contract provisions limiting our liability are not enforceable, we could be obligated to pay significant damages resulting from customer claims.
If computer hackers find ways to circumvent our products, our products would not perform their essential function. Any compromise of the security offered by our products, in a single incident or a series of incidents, would make our products less attractive to our customers. Software error or failure may result from a hacker seeking unauthorized access to a computer network. The methods used by hackers are evolving rapidly and generally are not recognized until they are launched against one or more systems. We are unable to anticipate hackers’ tactics. The publicity surrounding any security breaches could adversely affect the public perception of the security offered by our authentication and authorization products and make it more difficult for us to sell our products.
Technical advances in the information security market may make our products obsolete. Our products are based on public key infrastructure based security (also known as PKI based security) and identity management technology and depend in part on the application of certain mathematical principles forming the basis of the encryption technology that we license and embed in our products. Any significant advance in techniques for decoding or cracking encrypted computer information could render our products obsolete or unmarketable.
Our PKI products use algorithms, or mathematical formulae, to encrypt and secure information. The security afforded by our products is predicated on the assumption that these mathematical formulae are very difficult to solve. This assumption is based on the fact that years of theoretical and empirical research by leading mathematicians have not resulted in any efficient solutions to these problems. There can be no assurance, however, that future research will not uncover efficient solutions to these problems.
Also, even if no breakthrough in solving these problems is discovered, they may eventually be solved by computer systems having sufficient speed and power. If improved techniques for decoding encrypted information are developed or made possible by the increased availability of powerful computing resources, our products could be rendered obsolete.
We might not be able to enforce our intellectual property rights. Our success depends significantly upon our proprietary technology, and our means of protecting our proprietary and intellectual property rights may not be adequate. We rely on a combination of patent and trademark laws, trade secrets, confidentiality agreements and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights. We have two U.S. patents, which will be in effect until August 22, 2017, and three patents granted in Israel in effect until 2017 and 2021, as well as 13 applications pending in Israel, the U.S. and Canada. We cannot provide assurance that any of our applications will be approved, that any new patents will be issued, that we will develop proprietary products or technologies that are subject to patent protection, that any issued patent will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by third parties. Further more, we cannot provide assurance that the patents of others will not have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. There is also a risk that our competitors will independently develop similar technology, duplicate our products or design around our patents or other intellectual property rights.
If our technology or products were determined to infringe upon the rights of others, we would be required to obtain licenses to use that technology. If we are not able to obtain a license in a timely manner on acceptable terms or at all, we may have to stop producing our product until we can develop an alternative that does not infringe the rights of others.
Patent disputes are common in technology-related industries. We cannot provide any assurance that we will have the financial resources to enforce or defend a patent infringement or proprietary rights action. As the number of products and competitors in our target markets grows, the likelihood of infringement claims also increases. Any claims or litigation may be time-consuming and costly, cause product shipment delays or require us to redesign our product or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to use our proprietary information and software. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary and intellectual property rights to as great an extent as do the laws of Canada and the U.S.
Changes in the export regulation of encryption-based technologies may restrict our ability to sell or license our products. Our products are subject to export controls under Canadian and U.S. laws and regulations. These laws and regulations may be revised from time to time in ways that may materially and adversely affect our ability to sell our products abroad or to make products available for sale or license via international computer networks such as the Internet, although pursuant to an international treaty, a number of countries have relaxed, or are in the process of relaxing, their export rules as applicable to products of the type licensed by us. Canadian and U.S. government controls on the export of encryption technologies which we license from third parties and which are embedded in our products may, if subject to revision, be amended and subsequently restrict our ability to freely export our products. As a resul t, foreign competitors subject to less stringent export controls on their products may be able to compete more effectively than we can in the global information and computer security market.
Our articles of incorporation authorize us to issue an unlimited number of common shares, which could result in dilution to our shareholders. Subject to regulatory and/or shareholder approval, shareholders may experience dilution or limitations in takeover attempts because our articles of incorporation allow us to issue an unlimited number of common shares. Our shareholders have no right to purchase additional common shares when we issue new shares. As of July 28, 2006, we had 32,771,402 common shares issued and outstanding.
If our common shares should become ineligible for continued quotation on the OTC BB or a public trading market does not continue for any reason, holders of our common shares may have difficulty selling their shares. Our common shares became ineligible for continued quotation on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market and are now trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board; therefore holders of our common shares may have difficulty selling their shares. Our common shares were quoted on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market from June 1995 through late April 2003.
Our common shares may continue to be penny stock, which may adversely affect the liquidity of our common shares. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations that define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price, as defined in those regulations, of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our common shares are currently penny stock.
Generally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, a broker-dealer is required to deliver, prior to the transaction, a disclosure schedule relating to the penny stock market as well as disclosure concerning, among other things, the commissions payable, current quotations for the securities and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
The liquidity of our common shares may be materially and adversely affected if our common shares continue to be penny stock due to the administration requirements imposed by these rules.
It may be difficult for our shareholders to enforce civil liabilities under the U.S. federal securities laws because we are incorporated in Canada. We are incorporated under Canadian law and the majority of our directors and executive officers are Canadian citizens or residents. All, or a substantial portion, of these persons’ assets and substantially all of our assets are located outside the U.S. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the U.S. upon those persons or us or to enforce against them judgments of U.S. courts predicated upon civil liabilities under U.S. federal or state securities laws. Also, there is uncertainty as to the enforceability in Canada, in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of the U.S. courts, of civil liabilities predicated upon U.S. federal or state securities laws.
We may be treated as a passive foreign investment company, which would have adverse tax consequences for our U.S. shareholders. We may be treated as a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC. While we do not believe that we should be treated as a PFIC, whether we are treated as a PFIC depends on questions of fact concerning our assets and revenues. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will not be treated as a PFIC. If we were to be treated as a PFIC, there could be material adverse tax consequences to U.S. holders of our common shares.

Description Of Our Securities
General
Our authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares, no par value. As of June 30, 2006, we had 31,136,785 common shares issued and outstanding. We have no authorized preferred shares.
Common Shares
Each common share is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote by shareholders, including the election of directors. There are no cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. All common shares are equal to each other with respect to liquidation and dividend rights and are entitled to receive dividends if and when our board declares them out of funds legally available for distribution. Upon our liquidation, all assets available for distribution are distributable among shareholders according to their respective holdings. There are no preemptive rights to purchase any additional, unissued common shares.
Warrants
We have outstanding warrants currently exercisable for up to an aggregate of 10,364,892 of our common shares at exercise prices ranging from $0.40 per share to $3.75 per share. Included in those warrants currently outstanding are the following warrant instruments pursuant to which common shares offered for resale are being registered by this prospectus:
July Warrants (2006). These are warrants issued by us in connection with our private placement of equity securities completed as of July 26, 2006. These warrants are exercisable for up to an aggregate of 1,634,617 of our common shares at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. These warrants are immediately exercisable and will expire on July 26, 2008.
June Warrants (2006). These are warrants issued by us in connection with our private placement of equity securities completed as of June 30, 2006. These warrants are exercisable for up to an aggregate of 6,680,001 of our common shares, consisting of up to 3,339,998 common shares at an exercise price of $0.75 per share and up to 3,340,003 common shares at an exercise price of $0.90 per share. These warrants are immediately exercisable and will expire on June 30, 2008.
Consultant Warrants (2006). These are four warrants issued by us in connection with consulting services being provided to us under an agreement entered into as of January 1, 2006. These warrants are exercisable to purchase (i) up to 30,000 of our common shares at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, (ii) up to 25,000 of our common shares at an exercise price of $1.20 per share, (iii) up to 21,429 of our common shares at an exercise price of $1.40 per share and (iv) up to 18,750 of our common shares at an exercise price of $1.60 per share. These warrants are exercisable immediately and terminate on December 31, 2007.
Impact of The “Penny Stock” Rules on Buying or Selling Our Common Stock
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations that define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price, as defined in those regulations, of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our common shares are currently penny stock.
Generally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, a broker-dealer is required to deliver, prior to the transaction, a disclosure schedule relating to the penny stock market as well as disclosure concerning, among other things, the commissions payable, current quotations for the securities and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
The liquidity of our common shares may be materially and adversely affected if our common shares continue to be penny stock due to the administration requirements imposed by these rules.
Offering Expenses
We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus. The selling shareholders will bear brokerage commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of share, as well as any fees and disbursements of counsel to the selling shareholders.
The expenses of this offering which we will be pay are estimated, in U.S. dollars, to be as follows:

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the common shares offered hereby on behalf of the selling shareholders. As used herein, “selling shareholders” includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from a named selling shareholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer. All costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus will be borne by the Company, other than brokerage commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares offered hereby which will be borne by the selling shareholders. Sales of the shares offered hereby may be effected by selling shareholders from time to time in one or more types of transactions (which may include block transactions) on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board at prevailing market prices, in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through publicly or privately negotiated put or call options transactions relating to the shares offered hereby, through short sales of the shares offered hereby (including the closing of any open short position), or a combination of such methods of sale, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. Such transactions may or may not involve brokers or dealers. The selling shareholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their securities, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the shares offered hereby by the selling shareholders.
The selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with regard to the shares offered hereby. In connection with such transactions the counter parties to such transactions may engage in short sales of the shares offered hereby or of securities convertible into or exchangeable for such shares in the course of hedging positions they assume with selling shareholders. The selling shareholders may also enter into other transactions which require the delivery of the shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such counter parties may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if necessary, to reflect such transaction).
The selling shareholders may effect these transactions by selling the shares offered hereby directly to purchasers or to or through broker-dealers, which may act as agents or principals. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders and/or the purchasers of the shares offered hereby for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary brokerage commissions).
The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers that act in connection with the sale of the shares offered herein might may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by such broker-dealers and any profit on the resale of the shares offered herein sold by them while acting as principals might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. We have agreed to indemnify each selling shareholder against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. The selling shareholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares offered hereby against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
Because selling shareholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, the selling shareholders will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. We have informed the selling shareholders that the anti-manipulative provisions of Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act may apply to their sales in the market.
Selling shareholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares offered hereby in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of Rule 144 or another exemption under the Securities Act.
Upon our being notified by a selling shareholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares offered hereby through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing:
•
the name of each such selling shareholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s);
•
the number of shares involved;
•
the initial price at which such shares were sold;
•
the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable;
•
that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus; and
•
other facts material to the transaction.
We will pay all of the costs of qualifying these securities under federal and state securities laws, including legal and accounting fees, as well as printing and other related costs.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
As described in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, our articles of association and certain provisions of Canadian law contain provisions relating to the ability of our officers and directors to be indemnified by us for costs, charges, expenses, losses and other liabilities which are sustained or incurred in the performance of the officer’s or director’s duties for us. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the charter provision, by-law, contract, arrangements, statute or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
Service of process upon us and upon our directors and officers and the Canadian experts named in this prospectus, most of whom reside outside the U.S., may be difficult to obtain within the U.S. Furthermore, because substantially all of our assets and substantially all of our directors and officers are located outside the U.S., any judgment obtained in the U.S. against us or any of our directors and officers may not be collectible within the U.S.
EXPERTS
Our consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2005 and 2004 and for each of the years ended December 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 have been incorporated by reference herein and in the Registration Statement in reliance on the report of KPMG LLP, independent accountants, also incorporated by reference herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. The audit report of KPMG LLP covering the December 31, 2005 consolidated financial statements contains additional comments for U.S. readers that states that conditions and events exist that cast substantial doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.
Certain legal matters in connection with the validity of the issuance of the common shares to be registered hereunder with respect to Canadian law will be passed upon for us by Borden Ladner Gervais LLP of Toronto, Ontario, our Canadian counsel.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 8. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “Act”), Diversinet may indemnify a present or former director or officer or a person who acts or acted at Diversinet’s request as a director or officer of another corporation of which Diversinet is or was a shareholder or creditor and his heirs and legal representatives against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of being or having been such a director or officer if the director or officer acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of Diversinet and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, had reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful. Such indemnification may be made in conn ection with an action by or on behalf of Diversinet or such other corporation only with court approval. A director or officer is entitled to indemnification from Diversinet as a matter of right in respects of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal or administrative proceeding to which he is a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of such corporation if he was substantially successful on the merits and fulfilled the conditions set forth above.
The by-laws of Diversinet provide that each director, each officer, each former director, each former officer and each person who acts or acted at Diversinet’s request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which Diversinet is or was a shareholder or creditor, and his heirs and legal representatives shall be indemnified and saved harmless by Diversinet from and against all costs, charges and expenses, including without limitation, each amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which his is made a party by reason or being or having been a director or officer of Diversinet or such body corporation, if he acted honestly and in good faith with a view to Diversinet’s best interests and in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty he had reasonable grounds for believing his conduct was lawful. In certain circumstances Diversinet has provided its Directors or its subsidiaries’ Directors with a written indemnification confirming the indemnification available under its by-laws.
Diversinet currently maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, which, subject to the provisions contained in the policy, protects the directors and officers, as such, against all claims during the term of their office provided they acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of Diversinet. Such insurance provides for an aggregate of $5,000,000 annual protection against liability for and reimbursement of amounts paid.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that, in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 10. Undertakings
Paragraph designations correspond to designations in Regulation S-K, Item 512.
(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and;
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;
(4)
To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided, that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Rule 3-19 of Regulation S-X if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.
(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) of section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (and where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expense incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any such action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question wh ether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

7.2
Registration Procedures and Expenses. The Company shall:
(a)
use its commercially reasonable efforts, but in no event later than 45 days after the date of Closing to prepare and file, with the Commission a Registration Statement under the Securities Act, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable thereafter, relating to the resale pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of the Shares and Warrant Shares (“Registrable Stock”) by the holders thereof (“Holders”) from time to time through the automated quotation system of Nasdaq or the facilities of any national securities exchange on which the Common Shares are then traded or in privately-negotiated transactions;

(m)
advise such participating Holders, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission or any state securities commission or agency suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and promptly use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;

The Company shall provide the Holders whose Registrable Stock is registered under the Registration Statement with written notice of the commencement of a Blackout Period and of the termination of such Blackout Period.

The Purchaser agrees that, upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 7.3(a) (a “Material Event”), the Purchaser will forthwith discontinue disposition of the Registrable Stock under the Prospectus until the Company confirms in writing that the Blackout Period has terminated and that the Prospectus may be used for the disposition of Registrable Stock or until receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus, and, if so requested by the Company, will deliver to the Company all copies of the Prospectus covering the Registrable Stock in its possession at the time of receipt of such notice.

This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall be in addition to any subsequently executed indemnity agreements.
(b)
Each Holder of shares of the Registrable Stock which are included in a registration pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company and any person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act from and against any and all claims, actions, demands, losses, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, or under Canadian law, insofar as such claims, actions, demands, losses, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such Registration Statement (including all documents incorporated therein by reference) as original ly filed or in any amendment thereto, any preliminary or final prospectus contained therein or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was so made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information furnished by such Holder for use in the preparation thereof; provided, that the liability of each Holder hereunder shall be limited to the proportion of any such claim, action, demand, loss, damage, liability, cost or expense which is equal to the proportion that the public offering price of the shares of Registrable Stock sold by such Holder under such Registration Statement bears to the total offering price of all securities sold thereunder, but not, in any event, to exc eed the proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of shares of Registrable Stock covered by the Registration Statement. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability which such Holder may otherwise have and shall be in addition to any subsequently executed indemnity agreements.
(c)
In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any Holder exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling Person of any such Holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such selling Holder or any such controlling Person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section; then, and in each such case, the Company and such Holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or lia bilities to which they may be subject (including legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with or defending same (collectively “Losses”)) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether any alleged untrue statement or omission relates to information provided by the indemnifying party, on the one hand, or by the indemnified party, on the other hand. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (c), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of su ch fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section, each person who controls a Holder within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of such Holder shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d); provided, however, that, in any such case, (A) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation and (B) no such Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Stock offered by it pursuant to such Registration Statement.
(d)
The provisions of this Section will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees or agents or controlling persons referred to in this Section, and will survive the sale by a Holder of securities covered by a Registration Statement.

Adjustment of Purchase Price and Number of Shares Deliverable
6.1
The number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant (such shares being referred to in this Section 6 as the “Warrant Shares”) and the Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a)
In case the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Shares payable in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Common Shares through stock split, reverse split or otherwise, (iii) combine its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its Common Shares (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) other securities of the Company, the number and/or nature of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which he would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had such Warrant been exercised immediat ely prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall become effective retroactively as of the record date of such event.
(b)
In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants or securities convertible into Common Shares to the holders of its Common Shares generally, entitling them (for a period expiring within forty-five (45) days after the record date referred to below in this paragraph (b)) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share which (together with the value of the consideration, if any, paid for such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities) is lower on the record date referred to below than 80% of the then Market Price Per Common Share (as determined pursuant to Section 9.2), the number of Warrant Shares thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional Common Shares purchased pursuant to such offer, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of Common Shares so purchased (together with the value of the consideration, if any, paid for such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities) would purchase at the then Market Price Per Common Share. Such adjustment shall be made at the expiration of the period during which such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities may be exercised or converted, as the case may be, and shall become effective retroactively as of the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities.
(c)
In case the Company shall distribute to all holders of its Common Shares, or all holders of Common Shares shall otherwise become entitled to receive, shares in the capital of the Company (other than dividends or distributions on its Common Shares referred to in paragraph (a) above), evidences of its indebtedness or rights, options, warrants or convertible securities providing the right to subscribe for or purchase any shares in the capital of the Company or evidences of its indebtedness (other than any rights, options, warrants or convertible securities referred to in paragraph (b) above), then in each case the number of Warrant Shares thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares theretofore purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant, by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the then Market Price Per Common Share (as determined pursuant to Sec tion 9.2) on the record date mentioned below in this paragraph (c), and of which the denominator shall be the then Market Price Per Common Share on such record date, less the then fair value per share (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, in good faith) of the shares in the capital of the Company (other than Common Shares), evidences of indebtedness, or of such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities, distributable with respect to each Common Share. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made, and shall become effective retroactively as of the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution.
(d)
In the event of any capital reorganization or any reclassification (not otherwise referred to in paragraph (a) above) of the capital stock of the Company or in case of the consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Shares are not converted into or exchanged for other rights or interests), or in the case of any sale, transfer or other disposition to another corporation of all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Company, the Holder of each Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase (and it shall be a condition to the consummation of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition that appropriate provisions shall be made so that such Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase) the kind and amount of shares and other securities an d property (including cash) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Warrants been exercised immediately prior to the effective date of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition; and in any such case appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Article 6 with respect to rights and interest thereafter of the Holder of the Warrants to the end that the provisions of this Article 6 shall thereafter be applicable, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants. The provisions of this Section 6.1(d) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or other dispositions.
(e)
Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant is adjusted, as provided in this Section 6.1, the Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares shall be adjusted by multiplying such Purchase Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Warrant Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.
6.2
In the event the Company shall declare a dividend, or make a distribution to the holders of its Common Shares generally, whether in cash, property or assets of any kind, including any dividend payable in stock or securities of any other issuer owned by the Company (excluding regularly payable cash dividends declared from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors or any dividend or distribution referred to in Section 6.1(a) or (c) above), the Purchase Price of each Warrant shall be reduced, without any further action by the parties hereto, by the Per Share Value (as hereinafter defined) of the dividend. For purposes of this Section 6.2, the “Per Share Value” of a cash dividend or other distribution shall be the dollar amount of the distribution on each Common Share and the “Per Share Value” of any dividend or distribution other than cash shall be equal to the fair market value of such non-c ash distribution on each Common Share as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
6.3
No adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable under the Warrants, or in the Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares, shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Warrant, or in the Purchase Price thereof; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 6.3 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All final results of adjustments to the number of Warrant Shares and the Purchase Price thereof shall be rounded to the nearest one thousandth of a share or the nearest cent, as the case may be. Anything in this Section 6 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled, but shall not be required, to make such changes in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant, or in the Purchase Price thereof, in addition to those required by such Section, as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any dividend or distribution in Common Shares, subdivision, reclassification or combination of Common Shares, issuance of rights, warrants or options to purchase Common Shares, or distribution of shares in the capital of the Company other than Common Shares, evidences of indebtedness or assets (other than distributions of cash out of retained earnings) or convertible or exchangeable securities hereafter made by the Company to the holders of its Common Shares shall not result in any tax to the holders of its Common Shares or securities convertible into Common Shares.
6.4
In the event that (i) the Company has issued fewer than 6,666,666 units as part of the private placement announced on June 30, 2006, and (ii) prior to December 31, 2006, the Company issues and sells any equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities in conjunction with an equity financing (as defined below) for consideration per share (the “New Offering Price”) of less than US$0.60 per share (and in the case of a convertible security, if the conversion price is less than US$0.60), then forthwith upon such issue and sale, the number of Warrant Shares which the holder of the Warrants is entitled to purchase upon exercise of the Warrants shall be increased and the Purchase Price decreased in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 6.4, provided that no other adjustment has been made in accordance with any of Sections 6.1, 6.2 or 6.3:
the number of Warrant Shares which may be purchased on exercise of the Warrants shall be increased by a percentage equal to the quotient obtained when dividing (i) the difference between US$ 0.60 and the New Offering Price by (ii) to New Offering Price; and
the Purchase Price of the Warrants shall thereafter be equal to the product of the Purchase Price multiplied by the fraction obtained when dividing (i) the number of Warrant Shares which may be acquired upon exercise of the Warrants (prior to giving effect to the adjustment noted herein) by (ii) the number of Warrant Shares which may be acquired upon exercise of the Warrants (after giving effect to the adjustment noted herein).
For the purposes of this Section 6.4, an equity financing means a sale by the Company of common shares (or securities convertible into common shares) for cash consideration, and excludes, for greater certainty, any issue or sale of common shares (or securities convertible into common shares) pursuant to the Company’s stock option plan, pursuant to options or warrants currently outstanding, pursuant to any compensation arrangement with employees, officers directors or consultants or in respect of an acquisition by the Company.
6.5
Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant or the Purchase Price of such Warrant Shares is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at the address of the Holder shown on the books of the Company, a notice of such adjustment or adjustments, prepared and signed by the Chief Financial Officer or Secretary of the Company, which sets forth the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant and the Purchase Price of such Warrant Shares after such adjustment, a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation by which such adjustment was made.
6.6
In the event that at any time prior to the expiration of the Warrants and prior to their exercise:
(a)
the Company shall declare any distribution (other than a cash dividend or a dividend payable in securities of the Company with respect to the Common Shares); or
(b)
the Company shall offer for subscription to the holders of Common Shares any additional shares of any class or any other securities convertible into Common Shares or any rights to subscribe thereto; or
(c)
the Company shall declare any stock split, stock dividend, subdivision, combination, or similar distribution with respect to the Common Shares, regardless of the effect of any such event on the outstanding number of shares of Common Shares; or
(d)
the Company shall declare a dividend, other than a dividend payable in shares of the Company’s own Common Shares; or
(e) there shall be any capital change in the Company as set forth in Section 6.1(d); or
(f) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a consolidation, merger, or sale of all or substantially all of its property, assets and business as an entity);
(each such event hereinafter being referred to as a “Notification Event”), the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder, not less than twenty (20) days prior to the record date, if any, in connection with such Notification Event (provided, however, that if there is no record date, or if twenty (20) days prior notice is impracticable, as soon as practicable) written notice specifying the nature of such event and the effective date of, or the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken with respect to, such event. Such notice shall also set forth facts indicating the effect of such action (to the extent such effect may be known at the date of such notice) on the Purchase Price and the kind and amount of the shares or other securities or property deliverable upon exercise of the Warrants. For purposes here of, a business day shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day in which commercial banks are authorized by law to be closed in New York, New York.
6.7
The form of Warrant Certificate need not be changed because of any change in the Purchase Price, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of a Warrant or the number of Warrants outstanding pursuant to this Section 6, and Warrant Certificates issued before or after such change may state the same Purchase Price, the same number of Warrants, and the same number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of Warrants as are stated in the Warrant Certificates theretofore issued pursuant to this Agreement. The Company may, however, at any time, in its sole discretion, make any change in the form of Warrant Certificate that it may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any Warrant Certificates thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.
7
Voluntary Adjustment by the Company
The Company may, at its option, at any time during the term of the Warrants, reduce the then current Purchase Price to any amount deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company and/or extend the date of the expiration of the Warrants.
8
Fractional Shares and Warrants; Determination of Market Price Per Share
8.1
Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to issue any fraction of a Common Share in connection with the exercise of Warrants. Warrants may not be exercised in such number as would result (except for the provisions of this paragraph) in the issuance of a fraction of a Common Share unless the Holder is exercising all Warrants then owned by the Holder. In such event, the Company shall, upon the exercise of all of such Warrants, issue to the Holder the largest aggregate whole number of Common Shares called for thereby upon receipt of the Purchase Price for all of such Warrants and pay a sum in cash equal to the remaining fraction of a Common Share, multiplied by its Market Price Per Share (as determined pursuant to Section 8.2 below) as of the last business day preceding the date on which the Warrants are presented for exercise.
8.2
As used herein, the “Market Price Per Share” with respect to any date shall mean the average closing price per share of Company’s Common Shares for the five trading days immediately preceding such date. The closing price for each such day shall be the last sale price regular way or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case on the principal securities exchange on which the Common Shares are listed or admitted to trading, the last sale price, or in case no sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Shares on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTC BB”) or any comparable system, or if the Common Share is not reported on the OTC BB or a comparable system, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by two members of the National Association of Securi ties Dealers, Inc. selected from time to time by the Company for that purpose. If such bid and asked prices are not available, then “Market Price Per Share” shall be equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants or securities convertible into Common Shares to the holders of its Common Shares generally, entitling them (for a period expiring within forty-five (45) days after the record date referred to below in this paragraph (b)) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share which (together with the value of the consideration, if any, paid for such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities) is lower on the record date referred to below than 80% of the then Market Price Per Common Share (as determined pursuant to Section 9.2), the number of Warrant Shares thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional Common Shares purchased pursuant to such offer, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of Common Shares so purchased (together with the value of the consideration, if any, paid for such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities) would purchase at the then Market Price Per Common Share. Such adjustment shall be made at the expiration of the period during which such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities may be exercised or converted, as the case may be, and shall become effective retroactively as of the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities.
(c)
In case the Company shall distribute to all holders of its Common Shares, or all holders of Common Shares shall otherwise become entitled to receive, shares in the capital of the Company (other than dividends or distributions on its Common Shares referred to in paragraph (a) above), evidences of its indebtedness or rights, options, warrants or convertible securities providing the right to subscribe for or purchase any shares in the capital of the Company or evidences of its indebtedness (other than any rights, options, warrants or convertible securities referred to in paragraph (b) above), then in each case the number of Warrant Shares thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares theretofore purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant, by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the then Market Price Per Common Share (as determined pursuant to Sec tion 9.2) on the record date mentioned below in this paragraph (c), and of which the denominator shall be the then Market Price Per Common Share on such record date, less the then fair value per share (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, in good faith) of the shares in the capital of the Company (other than Common Shares), evidences of indebtedness, or of such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities, distributable with respect to each Common Share. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made, and shall become effective retroactively as of the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution.
(d)
In the event of any capital reorganization or any reclassification (not otherwise referred to in paragraph (a) above) of the capital stock of the Company or in case of the consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Shares are not converted into or exchanged for other rights or interests), or in the case of any sale, transfer or other disposition to another corporation of all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Company, the Holder of each Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase (and it shall be a condition to the consummation of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition that appropriate provisions shall be made so that such Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase) the kind and amount of shares and other securities and pro perty (including cash) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Warrants been exercised immediately prior to the effective date of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition; and in any such case appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Article 6 with respect to rights and interest thereafter of the Holder of the Warrants to the end that the provisions of this Article 6 shall thereafter be applicable, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants. The provisions of this Section 6.1(d) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or other dispositions.
(e)
Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant is adjusted, as provided in this Section 7.1, the Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares shall be adjusted by multiplying such Purchase Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Warrant Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.
7.2
In the event the Company shall declare a dividend, or make a distribution to the holders of its Common Shares generally, whether in cash, property or assets of any kind, including any dividend payable in stock or securities of any other issuer owned by the Company (excluding regularly payable cash dividends declared from time to time by the Company's Board of Directors or any dividend or distribution referred to in Section 7.1(a) or (c) above), the Purchase Price of each Warrant shall be reduced, without any further action by the parties hereto, by the Per Share Value (as hereinafter defined) of the dividend. For purposes of this Section 7.2, the “Per Share Value” of a cash dividend or other distribution shall be the dollar amount of the distribution on each Common Share and the “Per Share Value” of any dividend or distribution other than cash shall be equal to the fair market value of such non-cash d istribution on each Common Share as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
7.3
No adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable under the Warrants, or in the Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares, shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Warrant, or in the Purchase Price thereof; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 7.3 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All final results of adjustments to the number of Warrant Shares and the Purchase Price thereof shall be rounded to the nearest one thousandth of a share or the nearest cent, as the case may be. Anything in this Section 7 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled, but shall not be required, to make such changes in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant, or in the Purchase Price thereof, in addition to those required by such Section, as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any dividend or distribution in Common Shares, subdivision, reclassification or combination of Common Shares, issuance of rights, warrants or options to purchase Common Shares, or distribution of shares in the capital of the Company other than Common Shares, evidences of indebtedness or assets (other than distributions of cash out of retained earnings) or convertible or exchangeable securities hereafter made by the Company to the holders of its Common Shares shall not result in any tax to the holders of its Common Shares or securities convertible into Common Shares.
7.4
Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant or the Purchase Price of such Warrant Shares is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at the address of the Holder shown on the books of the Company, a notice of such adjustment or adjustments, prepared and signed by the Chief Financial Officer or Secretary of the Company, which sets forth the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant and the Purchase Price of such Warrant Shares after such adjustment, a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation by which such adjustment was made.
7.5
In the event that at any time prior to the expiration of the Warrants and prior to their exercise:
(a)
the Company shall declare any distribution (other than a cash dividend or a dividend payable in securities of the Company with respect to the Common Shares); or
(b)
the Company shall offer for subscription to the holders of Common Shares any additional shares of any class or any other securities convertible into Common Shares or any rights to subscribe thereto; or
(c)
the Company shall declare any stock split, stock dividend, subdivision, combination, or similar distribution with respect to the Common Shares, regardless of the effect of any such event on the outstanding number of shares of Common Shares; or
(d)
the Company shall declare a dividend, other than a dividend payable in shares of the Company's own Common Shares; or
(e) there shall be any capital change in the Company as set forth in Section 7.1(d); or
(f) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a consolidation, merger, or sale of all or substantially all of its property, assets and business as an entity);
(each such event hereinafter being referred to as a “Notification Event”), the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder, not less than twenty (20) days prior to the record date, if any, in connection with such Notification Event (provided, however, that if there is no record date, or if twenty (20) days prior notice is impracticable, as soon as practicable) written notice specifying the nature of such event and the effective date of, or the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken with respect to, such event. Such notice shall also set forth facts indicating the effect of such action (to the extent such effect may be known at the date of such notice) on the Purchase Price and the kind and amount of the shares or other securities or property deliverable upon exercise of the Warrants. For purposes here of, a business day shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day in which commercial banks are authorized by law to be closed in New York, New York.
7.6
The form of Warrant Certificate need not be changed because of any change in the Purchase Price, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of a Warrant or the number of Warrants outstanding pursuant to this Section 7, and Warrant Certificates issued before or after such change may state the same Purchase Price, the same number of Warrants, and the same number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of Warrants as are stated in the Warrant Certificates theretofore issued pursuant to this Agreement. The Company may, however, at any time, in its sole discretion, make any change in the form of Warrant Certificate that it may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any Warrant Certificates thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.
8
Voluntary Adjustment by the Company
The Company may, at its option, at any time during the term of the Warrants, reduce the then current Purchase Price to any amount deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company and/or extend the date of the expiration of the Warrants.
9
Fractional Shares and Warrants; Determination of Market Price Per Share
9.1
Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to issue any fraction of a Common Share in connection with the exercise of Warrants. Warrants may not be exercised in such number as would result (except for the provisions of this paragraph) in the issuance of a fraction of a Common Share unless the Holder is exercising all Warrants then owned by the Holder. In such event, the Company shall, upon the exercise of all of such Warrants, issue to the Holder the largest aggregate whole number of Common Shares called for thereby upon receipt of the Purchase Price for all of such Warrants and pay a sum in cash equal to the remaining fraction of a Common Share, multiplied by its Market Price Per Share (as determined pursuant to Section 8.2 below) as of the last business day preceding the date on which the Warrants are presented for exercise.
9.2
As used herein, the “Market Price Per Share” with respect to any date shall mean the average closing price per share of Company's Common Shares for the five trading days immediately preceding such date. The closing price for each such day shall be the last sale price regular way or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case on the principal securities exchange on which the Common Shares are listed or admitted to trading, the last sale price, or in case no sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Shares on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTC BB”) or any comparable system, or if the Common Share is not reported on the OTC BB or a comparable system, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by two members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. selected from time to time by the Company for that purpose. If such bid and asked prices are not available, then “Market Price Per Share” shall be equal to the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

7.2
Registration Procedures and Expenses. The Company shall:
(a)
use its commercially reasonable efforts, but in no event later than 45 days after the date of Closing to prepare and file, with the Commission a Registration Statement under the Securities Act, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable thereafter, relating to the resale pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of the Shares and Warrant Shares (“Registrable Stock”) by the holders thereof (“Holders”) from time to time through the automated quotation system of Nasdaq or the facilities of any national securities exchange on which the Common Shares are then traded or in privately-negotiated transactions;
(b)
If a Registration Statement covering the Shares and Warrant Shares is not (i) prepared and filed within 45 days of request by the Purchaser, the Company will make pro rata payments to each Purchaser as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount paid by such Purchaser on the request date by the Purchaser to the Company for any 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the date by which such Registration Statement should have been filed for which no Registration Statement is filed with respect to the Units or following the date by which the Registration Statement should have been declared effective. Such payment shall be made to each Purchaser in additional fully paid and non-assessable Shares not later than three Business Days following the end of 30-day period;
(c)
each time the Company shall determine to file a Registration Statement in connection with the proposed offer and sale for money of any of its securities by it or any of its security holders, the Company will give written notice of its determination to all Holders.

If the Registration Statement is to cover an underwritten distribution, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Stock requested for incl usion pursuant to this paragraph to be included in the underwriting on the same terms and conditions as the securities otherwise being sold through the underwriters. If, in the good faith judgment of the managing underwriter of such public offering, the inclusion of any or all of the Registrable Stock requested for inclusion pursuant to this paragraph and other securities would interfere with the successful marketing of a smaller number of shares to be offered, then the number of shares of Registrable Stock and other securities to be included in the offering (except for shares to be issued by the Company in an offering initiated by the Company) shall be reduced accordingly on a pro rata basis with the other security holders;

(f)
so long as the Registration Statement is effective covering the resale of the Registrable Stock owned by the Holders, furnish to the Holder such reasonable number of copies of prospectuses and such other documents as the Holders may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Registrable Stock;
(g)
file documents required of the Company for blue sky clearance in states specified in writing by the Purchaser; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or has not so consented;
(h)
bear all expenses in connection with the procedures in paragraphs (a) through (f) of this Section 7.2 and the registration of the Units pursuant to the Registration Statement, except for any underwriting discounts, brokerage fees and commissions incurred by the Purchaser, if any;
(i)
with a view to making available to the Purchaser the benefits of Rule 144 (or its successor rule) and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit the Purchaser to sell the Units to the public without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) such date as all of the Purchaser’s Units may be resold within a given three-month period pursuant to Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect or (B) such date as all of the Purchaser’s Units shall have been resold and (ii) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and under the Exchange Act;
(j)
notify the Holders participating in such registration, promptly after it shall receive notice thereof, of the date and time when such Registration Statement and each post-effective amendment thereto has become effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such Registration Statement has been filed;
(k)

(l)
prepare and promptly file with the Commission, and promptly notify such participating Holders of the filing of, such amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or prospectus as may be necessary to correct any statements or omissions if, at the time when a prospectus relating to such securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event has occurred as the result of which any such prospectus or any other prospectus as then in effect would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
(m)
advise such participating Holders, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission or any state securities commission or agency suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and promptly use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;
(n)
cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery (under normal way settlement procedures) of certificates representing securities to be sold pursuant to any Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations and registered in such names as Holders may request prior to sales of securities pursuant to such Registration Statement;
(o)
comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and shall make generally available as soon as practicable after the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act; and,
(p)

The Company may suspend, at any time or from time to time, the use of the prospectus which forms part of the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”) for a period or periods of time not to exceed an aggregate of 60 calendar days in any 12 month period, provided that during any three month period such aggregate period of time shall not exceed 30 calendar days (each, a “Blackout Period”), if the Company determines that the filing or continued use of the Prospectus would (w) require the public disclosure of material non-public information concerning any transaction or negotiations involving the Company or any of its affiliates that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, would materially interfere with such transaction or negotiations, (x) otherwise require premature disclosure of information that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, would adversely affect or otherwise be detrimental to the Company, (y) require amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement due to the happening of any event that comes to the attention of the Company and as a result of which the Registration Statement or Prospectus would contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (z) adversely affect the success of an offering of securities by the Company which the Company proposes to or has registered under applicable securities laws. The Company shall provide the Holders whose Registrable Stock is registered under the Registration Statement with written notice of the commencement of a Blackout Period and of the termination of such Blackout Period.
(b)
The Purchaser agrees that, upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 7.3(a) (a “Material Event”), the Purchaser will forthwith discontinue disposition of the Registrable Stock under the Prospectus until the Company confirms in writing that the Blackout Period has terminated and that the Prospectus may be used for the disposition of Registrable Stock or until receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus, and, if so requested by the Company, will deliver to the Company all copies of the Prospectus covering the Registrable Stock in its possession at the time of receipt of such notice.
(c)
The Purchaser shall, at any time it is engaged in a distribution of Registrable Stock, comply with all applicable laws.
7.4
Indemnification and Contribution.
(a)
The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of shares of Registrable Stock which are included in a Registration Statement pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the directors, officers, employees and agents of such Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder, the directors, officers, employees and agents of such underwriter, and any person who controls such Holder or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and each of their successors, from and against any and all claims, actions, demands, losses, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, or under Canadian law, insofar as such claims, actions, demands, losses, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statem ent or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such Registration Statement (including all documents incorporated therein by reference) as originally filed or in any amendment thereto, any preliminary or final prospectus contained therein or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and agrees to reimburse each such Holder, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, action, demand loss, damage or liability; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, action, demand, loss, damage, or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in reliance upon and in strict conformity wi th information furnished or on behalf of such Holder, specifically for use in the preparation thereof. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall be in addition to any subsequently executed indemnity agreements.
(b)
Each Holder of shares of the Registrable Stock which are included in a registration pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company and any person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act from and against any and all claims, actions, demands, losses, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, or under Canadian law, insofar as such claims, actions, demands, losses, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such Registration Statement (including all documents incorporated therein by reference) as original ly filed or in any amendment thereto, any preliminary or final prospectus contained therein or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was so made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information furnished by such Holder for use in the preparation thereof; provided, that the liability of each Holder hereunder shall be limited to the proportion of any such claim, action, demand, loss, damage, liability, cost or expense which is equal to the proportion that the public offering price of the shares of Registrable Stock sold by such Holder under such Registration Statement bears to the total offering price of all securities sold thereunder, but not, in any event, to exc eed the proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of shares of Registrable Stock covered by the Registration Statement. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability which such Holder may otherwise have and shall be in addition to any subsequently executed indemnity agreements.
(c)
In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any Holder exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling Person of any such Holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such selling Holder or any such controlling Person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section; then, and in each such case, the Company and such Holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or lia bilities to which they may be subject (including legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with or defending same (collectively “Losses”)) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether any alleged untrue statement or omission relates to information provided by the indemnifying party, on the one hand, or by the indemnified party, on the other hand. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (c), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of su ch fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section, each person who controls a Holder within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of such Holder shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d); provided, however, that, in any such case, (A) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation and (B) no such Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Stock offered by it pursuant to such Registration Statement.
(d)
The provisions of this Section will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees or agents or controlling persons referred to in this Section, and will survive the sale by a Holder of securities covered by a Registration Statement.

6
Adjustment of Purchase Price and Number of Shares Deliverable
6.1
The number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant (such shares being referred to in this Section 6 as the “Warrant Shares”) and the Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a)
In case the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Shares payable in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Common Shares through stock split, reverse split or otherwise, (iii) combine its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its Common Shares (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) other securities of the Company, the number and/or nature of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which he would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had such Warrant been ex ercised immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall become effective retroactively as of the record date of such event.
(b)
In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants or securities convertible into Common Shares to the holders of its Common Shares generally, entitling them (for a period expiring within forty-five (45) days after the record date referred to below in this paragraph (b)) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share which (together with the value of the consideration, if any, paid for such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities) is lower on the record date referred to below than 80% of the then Market Price Per Common Share (as determined pursuant to Section 9.2), the number of Warrant Shares thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional Common Shares purchased pursuant to such offer, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of Common Shares so purchased (together with the value of the consideration, if any, paid for such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities) would purchase at the then Market Price Per Common Share. Such adjustment shall be made at the expiration of the period during which such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities may be exercised or converted, as the case may be, and shall become effective retroactively as of the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities.
(c)
In case the Company shall distribute to all holders of its Common Shares, or all holders of Common Shares shall otherwise become entitled to receive, shares in the capital of the Company (other than dividends or distributions on its Common Shares referred to in paragraph (a) above), evidences of its indebtedness or rights, options, warrants or convertible securities providing the right to subscribe for or purchase any shares in the capital of the Company or evidences of its indebtedness (other than any rights, options, warrants or convertible securities referred to in paragraph (b) above), then in each case the number of Warrant Shares thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares theretofore purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant, by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the then Market Price Per Common Share (as determined pursuant to Section 9.2) on the record date mentioned below in this paragraph (c), and of which the denominator shall be the then Market Price Per Common Share on such record date, less the then fair value per share (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, in good faith) of the shares in the capital of the Company (other than Common Shares), evidences of indebtedness, or of such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities, distributable with respect to each Common Share. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made, and shall become effective retroactively as of the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution.
(d)
In the event of any capital reorganization or any reclassification (not otherwise referred to in paragraph (a) above) of the capital stock of the Company or in case of the consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Shares are not converted into or exchanged for other rights or interests), or in the case of any sale, transfer or other disposition to another corporation of all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Company, the Holder of each Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase (and it shall be a condition to the consummation of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition that appropriate provisions shall be made so that such Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase) the kind and amount of shares and other se curities and property (including cash) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Warrants been exercised immediately prior to the effective date of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition; and in any such case appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Article 6 with respect to rights and interest thereafter of the Holder of the Warrants to the end that the provisions of this Article 6 shall thereafter be applicable, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants. The provisions of this Section 6.1(d) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or other dispositions.
(e)
Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant is adjusted, as provided in this Section 6.1, the Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares shall be adjusted by multiplying such Purchase Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Warrant Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.
6.2
In the event the Company shall declare a dividend, or make a distribution to the holders of its Common Shares generally, whether in cash, property or assets of any kind, including any dividend payable in stock or securities of any other issuer owned by the Company (excluding regularly payable cash dividends declared from time to time by the Company's Board of Directors or any dividend or distribution referred to in Section 6.1(a) or (c) above), the Purchase Price of each Warrant shall be reduced, without any further action by the parties hereto, by the Per Share Value (as hereinafter defined) of the dividend. For purposes of this Section 6.2, the “Per Share Value” of a cash dividend or other distribution shall be the dollar amount of the distribution on each Common Share and the “Per Share Value” of any dividend or distribution other than cash shall be equal to the fair market value of such non-cash distribution on each Common Share as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
6.3
No adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable under the Warrants, or in the Purchase Price with respect to the Warrant Shares, shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Warrant, or in the Purchase Price thereof; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 6.3 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All final results of adjustments to the number of Warrant Shares and the Purchase Price thereof shall be rounded to the nearest one thousandth of a share or the nearest cent, as the case may be. Anything in this Section 6 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled, but shall not be required, to make such changes in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant, or in the Purchase Price thereof, in addition to those required by such Section, as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any dividend or distribution in Common Shares, subdivision, reclassification or combination of Common Shares, issuance of rights, warrants or options to purchase Common Shares, or distribution of shares in the capital of the Company other than Common Shares, evidences of indebtedness or assets (other than distributions of cash out of retained earnings) or convertible or exchangeable securities hereafter made by the Company to the holders of its Common Shares shall not result in any tax to the holders of its Common Shares or securities convertible into Common Shares.
6.4
In the event that (i) the Company has issued fewer than 6,666,666 units as part of the private placement announced on June 30, 2006, and (ii) prior to December 31, 2006, the Company issues and sells any equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities in conjunction with an equity financing (as defined below) for consideration per share (the “New Offering Price”) of less than US$0.60 per share (and in the case of a convertible security, if the conversion price is less than US$0.60), then forthwith upon such issue and sale, the number of Warrant Shares which the holder of the Warrants is entitled to purchase upon exercise of the Warrants shall be increased and the Purchase Price decreased in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 6.4, provided that no other adjustment has been made in accordance with any of Sections 6.1, 6.2 or 6.3:
the number of Warrant Shares which may be purchased on exercise of the Warrants shall be increased by a percentage equal to the quotient obtained when dividing (i) the difference between US$ 0.60 and the New Offering Price by (ii) to New Offering Price; and
the Purchase Price of the Warrants shall thereafter be equal to the product of the Purchase Price multiplied by the fraction obtained when dividing (i) the number of Warrant Shares which may be acquired upon exercise of the Warrants (prior to giving effect to the adjustment noted herein) by (ii) the number of Warrant Shares which may be acquired upon exercise of the Warrants (after giving effect to the adjustment noted herein).
For the purposes of this Section 6.4, an equity financing means a sale by the Company of common shares (or securities convertible into common shares) for cash consideration, and excludes, for greater certainty, any issue or sale of common shares (or securities convertible into common shares) pursuant to the Company's stock option plan, pursuant to options or warrants currently outstanding, pursuant to any compensation arrangement with employees, officers directors or consultants or in respect of an acquisition by the Company.
6.5
Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant or the Purchase Price of such Warrant Shares is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at the address of the Holder shown on the books of the Company, a notice of such adjustment or adjustments, prepared and signed by the Chief Financial Officer or Secretary of the Company, which sets forth the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant and the Purchase Price of such Warrant Shares after such adjustment, a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation by which such adjustment was made.
6.6
In the event that at any time prior to the expiration of the Warrants and prior to their exercise:
(a)
the Company shall declare any distribution (other than a cash dividend or a dividend payable in securities of the Company with respect to the Common Shares); or
(b)
the Company shall offer for subscription to the holders of Common Shares any additional shares of any class or any other securities convertible into Common Shares or any rights to subscribe thereto; or
(c)
the Company shall declare any stock split, stock dividend, subdivision, combination, or similar distribution with respect to the Common Shares, regardless of the effect of any such event on the outstanding number of shares of Common Shares; or
(d)
the Company shall declare a dividend, other than a dividend payable in shares of the Company's own Common Shares; or
(e) there shall be any capital change in the Company as set forth in Section 6.1(d); or
(f) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a consolidation, merger, or sale of all or substantially all of its property, assets and business as an entity);
(each such event hereinafter being referred to as a “Notification Event”), the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder, not less than twenty (20) days prior to the record date, if any, in connection with such Notification Event (provided, however, that if there is no record date, or if twenty (20) days prior notice is impracticable, as soon as practicable) written notice specifying the nature of such event and the effective date of, or the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken with respect to, such event. Such notice shall also set forth facts indicating the effect of such action (to the extent such effect may be known at the date of such notice) on the Purchase Price and the kind and amount of the shares or other securities or property deliverable upon exercise of the Warrants. For purposes here of, a business day shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sund ay or any other day in which commercial banks are authorized by law to be closed in New York, New York.
6.7
The form of Warrant Certificate need not be changed because of any change in the Purchase Price, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of a Warrant or the number of Warrants outstanding pursuant to this Section 6, and Warrant Certificates issued before or after such change may state the same Purchase Price, the same number of Warrants, and the same number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of Warrants as are stated in the Warrant Certificates theretofore issued pursuant to this Agreement. The Company may, however, at any time, in its sole discretion, make any change in the form of Warrant Certificate that it may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any Warrant Certificates thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.
7
Voluntary Adjustment by the Company
The Company may, at its option, at any time during the term of the Warrants, reduce the then current Purchase Price to any amount deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company and/or extend the date of the expiration of the Warrants.
8
Fractional Shares and Warrants; Determination of Market Price Per Share
8.1
Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to issue any fraction of a Common Share in connection with the exercise of Warrants. Warrants may not be exercised in such number as would result (except for the provisions of this paragraph) in the issuance of a fraction of a Common Share unless the Holder is exercising all Warrants then owned by the Holder. In such event, the Company shall, upon the exercise of all of such Warrants, issue to the Holder the largest aggregate whole number of Common Shares called for thereby upon receipt of the Purchase Price for all of such Warrants and pay a sum in cash equal to the remaining fraction of a Common Share, multiplied by its Market Price Per Share (as determined pursuant to Section 8.2 below) as of the last business day preceding the date on which the Warrants are presented for exercise.
8.2
As used herein, the “Market Price Per Share” with respect to any date shall mean the average closing price per share of Company's Common Shares for the five trading days immediately preceding such date. The closing price for each such day shall be the last sale price regular way or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case on the principal securities exchange on which the Common Shares are listed or admitted to trading, the last sale price, or in case no sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Shares on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTC BB”) or any comparable system, or if the Common Share is not reported on the OTC BB or a comparable system, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by two members of the National Associatio n of Securities Dealers, Inc. selected from time to time by the Company for that purpose. If such bid and asked prices are not available, then “Market Price Per Share” shall be equal to the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

This Warrant Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant Certificate to be duly executed by its officers thereunto duly authorized and its corporate seal to be affixed hereon, as of this 26th day of July 2006.

This reclassification, which the Company made in 2000 to eliminate the deficit that existed at October 31, 1999, did not meet the criteria specified by U.S. GAAP and results in an increase to share capital with a corresponding increase in deficit of $30,089,054. The figures presented for share capital above includes share capital subscribed but unissued.
(b)
Compensation expense:
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company is required to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 123R (“SFAS 123R”), which requires all share based payments to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values using either a modified – prospective or modified – retrospective transition method. The company has adopted this standard using the modified prospective method and, therefore recognizes share-based compensation for any new share-based awards and awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after the required effective date, January 1, 2006. Under SFAS 123 R, the company is required to determine the grant date fair value of the stock-based awards grated to employees. The company is continuing to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value these options. The related grant date fair value is subsequently recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period. Previously, th e Company adjusted compensation cost for actual forfeitures at the time forfeitures occurred. SFAS 123R requires the company to estimate forfeitures as part of the initial measure of the grant date fair value of the award. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting policy for the adjustment related to the forfeitures for the prior periods is not material at January 1, 2006.

we have assumed without verification (and are not opining) that the issuance of all securities referred to above complied in all respect with all requirements of applicable securities legislation;
f.
for the purposes of our opinion in paragraph 1, we have relied exclusively a certificate of status issued under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) dated August 24, 2006;

h.
we have assumed without verification that the certificates representing the Shares have been issued in accordance with the terms of the Treasury Directions and have been duly executed and countersigned by the Company’s transfer agent;
i.
we have assumed without verification that no person acted as a “market intermediary” (as such term is defined under the regulations made pursuant to the Securities Act (Ontario) or was otherwise compensated for services rendered in respect of the sales of any of the issuances of securities referred to herein, unless such person was registered as a dealer under applicable securities laws;
j.
as to certain matters of fact, we have relied solely on a certificate from the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Executive officer of the Company dated August 29, 2006.
Our opinions are limited to the laws and of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.
Based on relying upon and subject to the foregoing and to the qualifications herein expressed, we are of the opinion that:

2.
The Shares have been validly issued as fully paid and non-assessable shares in the capital of the Company.

6.
The EPG Warrant Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms of the EPG Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares in the capital of the Company.
We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an Exhibit to the Registration Statement of the Company on Form F-3 to be filed under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended relating to the registration of the securities referred to in paragraphs 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 above.
