6. Pursuant to subsection 4(b) of the Regulation, where a corporation is an offering corporation under the OBCA, an application for authorization to continue in another jurisdiction under section 181 of the OBCA must be accompanied by a consent from the Commission.

7. The Applicant is an offering corporation under the OBCA and is a reporting issuer under the Securities Act (Ontario) (the "Act"). The Applicant is also a reporting issuer under the securities legislation of Alberta.

11. Holders of Common Shares of the Applicant approved the Continuance by special resolution at the Applicant's annual and special meeting (the "Meeting") held on November 9, 2010. The special resolution authorizing the Continuance was approved at the Meeting by 99.98% of the votes cast.

13. The Continuance has been proposed as the Applicant believes it to be in its best interest to conduct its affairs in accordance with the YBCA and that it will provide greater flexibility in the composition of the board of directors of the Applicant.

14. The Applicant's material rights, duties and obligations under the YBCA will be substantially similar to those of a corporation governed by the OBCA with the exception that there is not a Canadian residency requirement for the members of the board of directors under the YBCA.
