(i) by the Royalty Holder to a potential successor of all or any significant portion of its interests under this Instrument, or to a potential successor by consolidation or merger, or to a proposed joint venture or partnership in which the Royalty Holder may become a participating partner or venturer, provided such third party has first agreed to be bound by such confidentiality obligations as Royalty Holder would customarily require in the context of disclosure of its own confidential information;

(ii) to a prospective lender to which any portion of Royalty Holder's interest hereunder is proposed to be granted as security, provided such lender has first agreed to be bound by such confidentiality obligations as Royalty Holder would customarily require in the context of disclosure of its own confidential information;

(iii) to an Affiliate or representative that has a bona fide need to be informed (but subject to the obligations of confidentiality herein);

(iv) to a governmental agency or to the public which the Royalty Holder believes in good faith is required by applicable Law or the rules of any stock exchange;

(i) in the case of an issuance of Common Shares, up to such number of Common Shares that will allow the Shareholder to maintain a percentage ownership interest in the issued and outstanding Common Shares, after giving effect to such Pre-Emptive Dilutive Event (but excluding any Excluded New Securities), that is the same as the percentage ownership interest that it had immediately prior to completion of such Pre-Emptive Dilutive Event; and

(ii) in the case of an issuance of Convertible Securities , up to such number of Convertible Securities that will (assuming, for all purposes of this Section 4.1(a)(ii), the conversion, exercise or exchange of all of the Convertible Securities issued in connection with the Pre-Emptive Dilutive Event and issuable pursuant to this Section 4.1) allow the Shareholder to maintain a percentage ownership interest in the issued and outstanding Common Shares, after giving effect to such Pre-Emptive Dilutive Event, that is the same as the percentage ownership interest that it had immediately prior to completion of such Pre-Emptive Dilutive Event.

- 7 -

for the same price and on the same terms as such Common Shares and/or Convertible Securities are being issued under the Pre-Emptive Dilutive Event..

(b) The Pre-Emptive Right shall operate as follows:

(i) If Corporation proposes to undertake a Pre-Emptive Dilutive Event, it shall give written notice to the Shareholder of its intention, describing the Pre-Emptive Dilutive Event including the price and the general terms upon which the Corporation proposes to issue the Common Shares and/or Convertible Securities (the "Offering Notice").

(iii) Failure of Shareholder to respond to the notice within such five (5) Business Day period (or two Business Day periodif applicable) shall be deemed an election to decline to exercise the Pre-Emptive Right and any rights that the Shareholder may have had to subscribe for any of the Common Shares and/or Convertible Securities issuable pursuant to such Pre-Emptive Dilutive Event shall be extinguished, in respect of such Pre-Emptive Dilutive Event.

(iv) Where Common Shares and Convertible Securities are offered together in combination (in what are customarily referred to as "units"), Shareholder may only elect to exercise the Pre-Emptive Right in respect of the Common Shares and Convertible Securities in the same combination and on the same basis as all other purchasers thereof.

(v) The acquisition by Shareholder of Common Shares and/or Convertible Securities pursuant to its Pre-Emptive Right will be subject to applicable regulatory and shareholders' approval requirements.

(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall not be obligated to provide notice to Shareholder pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(i) of any proposed Pre-Emptive Dilutive Event unless the resulting dilution to Shareholder, together with any previous issuance as to which Corporation has not provided Shareholder such notice, is 1.0% or more on a non-diluted basis.

(d) As used in this Section 4.1, Shareholder shall mean Shareholder and any Affiliate of Shareholder then owning Common Shares, collectively. Shareholder may direct that the Common Shares be issued in the name of an Affiliate of Shareholder.
