In exchange for each Party's agreement to release and discharge the other from any claim or cause of action arising from the Company's nomination of six directors elected by all shareholders at the March 2009 shareholders meeting and to be elected at the 2009 AGM by all shareholders as proposed by the Company in its proxy circular dated August 19, 2009, and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the undersigned, intending to be legally bound, hereby agrees as follows:

Concurrently with the election of the VantagePoint Nominee, VantagePoint shall consent to an increase in the size of the board of directors to nine (9) members. If the VantagePoint Nominee, once elected, resigns or is unable to serve as a director of the Company prior to the 2010 AGM (as defined below), then the Company's board of directors shall elect another nominee designated by VantagePoint, who will then be deemed the VantagePoint Nominee. VantagePoint's rights under this paragraph will terminate on the conclusion of voting by the Company's shareholders with respect to the matters addressed in Section 3 below.

    1. duly call, issue notice of and hold the annual general meeting of shareholders following conclusion of the 2010 fiscal year and in any event, by no later than September 30, 2010 (the " 2010 AGM ");
    2. file its proxy material with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (" SEC ") not later than 40 days before the 2010 AGM and will use best efforts to have such materials cleared by the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable;
    3. propose at the 2010 AGM, or any earlier meeting of, or action by written consent of, the Company's shareholders, for approval by the Company's shareholders the amendment of the articles of continuance of the Company (the " Articles ") as follows (the " Amendment "):
