The Rights will be eligible for exercise on and following the Commencement Date and will expire at 4:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Expiration Date. Holders who exercise their Rights pursuant to the terms and conditions contained herein will not become a shareholder of record until shortly following the Expiration Date.  RIGHTS NOT EXERCISED BY THE EXPIRATION DATE WILL BE VOID.

SUBSCRIPTION AGENT AND TRANSFER AGENT

Equity Transfer and Trust Company (the “Subscription Agent”) has been appointed: (i) to receive subscriptions and payments for the Common Shares and Additional Common Shares (as hereinafter defined) subscribed for under the Basic Subscription Privilege and the Additional Subscription Privilege, respectively; and (ii) to perform the services relating to the exercise and transfer of the Rights. The Company will pay for all such services of the Subscription Agent.

HOW TO EXERCISE THE RIGHTS

1.           Complete and sign Form 1 on the Rights Certificate. The maximum number of Rights which initially may be exercised is shown in the box on the upper right hand corner of the face of the Rights Certificate. If Form 1 is completed so as to exercise some but not all of the Rights evidenced by the Rights Certificate, the holder of the Rights Certificate will be deemed to have waived the unexercised balance of such Rights, unless the Subscription Agent is otherwise specifically advised by such holder at the time the Rights Certificate is surrendered to the Subscription Agent. Form 1 includes a representation that the holder is an Eligible Shareholder. Rights may not be exercised by Ineligible Shareholders.

2.           Optional. Complete and sign Form 2 on the Rights Certificate only if you also wish to participate in the Additional Subscription Privilege. See “Additional Subscription Privilege”.

3.           Enclose payment in Canadian funds by certified cheque, bank draft or money order payable to the order of Equity Transfer and Trust Company. The amount of payment will be $0.08 per Common Share. Payment must also be included for any Common Shares subscribed for under the Additional Subscription Privilege.

4.           Delivery. Deliver or mail the completed Rights Certificate and payment to the Subscription Agent so that it is received by the Subscription Office of the Subscription Agent set forth above before the Expiry Time. If mailing, registered mail is recommended. Please allow sufficient time to avoid late delivery. The signature of the Rights Certificate holder must correspond in every particular with the name that appears on the face of the Rights Certificate. Signatures by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney, officer of a corporation or any person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity should be accompanied by evidence of authority satisfactory to the Subscription Agent. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any subscription will be determined by the board of directors of the Company in its sole discretion, and any determination by the board of directors will be final and binding on the Company and its securityholders. Subscriptions are irrevocable. The board of directors of the Company reserves the right to reject any subscription if it is not in proper form or if the acceptance thereof or the issuance of Common Shares pursuant thereto could be unlawful. The board of directors of the Company also reserves the right to waive any defect in respect of any particular subscription. None of the board of directors, the Company or the Subscription Agent is under any duty to give any notice of any defect or irregularity in any subscription, nor will they be liable for the failure to give any such notice.

In many cases, holders of Rights may have their Rights registered either: (i) in the name of an intermediary that the holders deal with in respect of the Common Shares of the Company (intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans); or (ii) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc.) of which the intermediary is a participant. Such holders of Rights should carefully follow the instructions of their intermediary in order to exercise their Rights, including instructions regarding when and where the subscription form and Subscription Price are to be delivered.


4


If a holder of Rights is unsure how to subscribe, that person should contact his or her investment dealer, stock broker or the Subscription Agent or any member firm of the Investment Dealers Association of Canada, or other qualified professional advisor.

Inquiries relating to this rights offering circular should be addressed to Northcore Technologies Inc. to the attention of Investor Relations Tel: 416-640-0400, Toll Free 1-888-287-7467 and by e-mail to: investor-relations@northcore.com.

BASIC SUBSCRIPTION PRIVILEGE

To determine the maximum whole number of Common Shares for which subscription may be made under the Offering, divide the number of Rights by 4 (four) (the “Basic Subscription Privilege”).

Eligible Shareholders may subscribe for the resulting whole number of Common Shares (ignoring fractions) or any lesser whole number of Common Shares by instructing the Subscription Agent or the CDS Participant holding the subscriber’s rights to exercise all or a specified number of such rights and forwarding the Subscription Price for each Common Share subscribed for to the Subscription Agent or the CDS Participant which holds the subscriber’s Rights. Ineligible Shareholders will not be permitted to subscribe for any Common Shares.

The full Subscription Price must be received by the Subscription Agent or the CDS Participant sufficiently in advance of the Expiration Date to permit the proper exercise of the Rights.

If mail is used for delivery of subscription funds, for the protection of the subscriber, certified mail return receipt requested, should be used and sufficient time should be allowed to avoid the risk of late delivery.

The Subscription Price is payable in Canadian funds by certified cheque, bank draft or money order drawn to the order of the Subscription Agent by registered shareholders or the CDS Participant by beneficial shareholders. All payments by registered shareholders must be forwarded to the Subscription Agent. All payments by beneficial shareholders must be forwarded to the offices of a CDS Participant. The entire Subscription Price for Common Shares subscribed for must be paid at the time of subscription.

Subscriptions for Common Shares made in connection with this Offering will be irrevocable and subscribers will be unable to withdraw their subscriptions for Common Shares once submitted.

ADDITIONAL SUBSCRIPTION PRIVILEGE

Each holder of Rights who is an Eligible Shareholder and who has initially subscribed for all of the Common Shares to which he or she is entitled pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege has the right to subscribe for additional Common Shares, if available, at the price equal to the Subscription Price for each additional Common Share (collectively, the “Additional Common Shares”).

The number of Additional Common Shares available for all additional subscriptions will be the difference, if any, between the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of Rights and the total number of Common Shares subscribed for pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege at the Expiration Date (the “Additional Subscription Privilege”). Subscription for Additional Common Shares will be received subject to allotment only and the number of Additional Common Shares, if any, which may be allotted to each subscriber will be equal to the lesser of: (a) the number of Additional Common Shares which that subscriber has subscribed for under the Additional Subscription Privilege; and (b) the product (disregarding fractions) obtained by multiplying the number of Additional Common Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Rights exercised by that subscriber under the Basic Subscription Privilege and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Rights exercised under the Basic Subscription Privilege by all subscribers under the Additional Subscription Privilege. If any holder of Rights has subscribed for fewer Additional Common Shares than such holder’s pro rata allotment of Additional Common Shares, the excess Additional Common Shares will be allotted in a similar manner among the subscribers who were allotted fewer Additional Common Shares than they subscribed for.

5



To apply for Additional Common Shares under the Additional Subscription Privilege, holders of Rights must forward their request to the Subscription Agent prior to the Expiration Date. Payment for Additional Common Shares, in the same manner as for the Basic Subscription Privilege, must accompany the request when it is delivered to the Subscription Agent and such payment must be received by the Subscription Agent prior to the Expiration Time on the Expiration Date, failing which the subscriber’s entitlement to such Common Shares shall terminate. Any excess funds will be returned by mail, or credited to a subscriber’s account with the Subscription Agent without interest or deduction.

SALE OR TRANSFER OF RIGHTS

The Rights will be listed and posted for trading on the Exchange until 12:00 noon (Toronto time) on August 22, 2007. Holders of Rights Certificates not wishing to exercise their Rights may sell or transfer them directly or through their stockbroker or investment dealer at the holder’s expense, subject to any applicable resale restrictions. Rights Certificates will not be registered in the name of an Ineligible Shareholder. See “Statement as to Resale Restrictions”. Holders of Rights Certificates may elect to exercise a part only of their Rights and dispose of the remainder, or dispose of all of their Rights. Any commission or other fee payable in connection with the exercise or any trade of Rights (other than the fee for services to be performed by the Subscription Agent as described herein) is the responsibility of the holder of such Rights. Depending on the number of Rights a holder may wish to sell, the commission payable in connection with a sale of Rights could exceed the proceeds received from such sale.

To transfer the Rights, complete Form 3 (the “Transfer Form”) on the Rights Certificate, have the signature guaranteed by an “eligible institution” to the satisfaction of the Subscription Agent and deliver the Rights Certificate to the transferee. For this purpose, eligible institution means a Canadian Schedule 1 chartered bank, a major trust company in Canada, a member of the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP), or a member of the Stock Exchange Medallion Program (SEMP). Members of these programs are usually members of a recognized stock exchange in Canada or members of the Investment Dealers Association of Canada.

It is not necessary for a transferee to obtain a new Rights Certificate to exercise the Rights or the Additional Subscription Privilege, but the signature of the transferee on Forms 1 and 2 must correspond in every particular with the name of the transferee shown on the Transfer Form. If the Transfer Form is properly completed, the Company and the Subscription Agent will treat the transferee (or the bearer if no transferee is specified) as the absolute owner of the Rights Certificate for all purposes and will not be affected by notice to the contrary. A Rights Certificate so completed should be delivered to the appropriate person in ample time for the transferee to use it before the expiration of the Rights.

Trading in Rights on the Exchange will terminate at 12:00 noon (Toronto time) on August 22, 2007.

TO DIVIDE OR COMBINE THE RIGHTS CERTIFICATE

A Rights Certificate may be divided or combined with other Rights Certificates by completing Form 4 and delivering the Rights Certificate to the Subscription Agent (no endorsement is necessary if not changing ownership). The Subscription Agent will then issue new Rights Certificates in such denominations (totaling the same number of Rights as evidenced by the Rights Certificate being divided or combined, less any Rights which are being exercised by the holder as evidenced by a completed Form 1) as are requested by the Rights Certificate holder. Rights Certificates must be surrendered for division or combination at least three business days before the Expiry Time to permit the new Rights Certificates to be issued to and used by the Rights Certificate holder.

STATEMENT AS TO RESALE RESTRICTIONS

Securities legislation in Canada restricts the ability of a holder to trade the Rights, and the Common Shares issued on exercise of the Rights, without certain conditions having been fulfilled or applicable prospectus requirements having been complied with. The following is a general summary of these provisions governing the first trades in the Rights and the Common Shares issued on exercise of the Rights in the jurisdictions in Canada in which this Offering is being made. Additional restrictions apply to “insiders” of the Company and holders of securities who are “control persons” or the equivalent or who are deemed to be part of what is commonly referred to as a “control block” in respect of the Company for purposes of applicable securities legislation. However, each holder is urged to consult his professional advisors to determine the exact conditions and restrictions applicable to such right to trade in securities.

Rights offered to holders in the Qualified Jurisdictions and the Common Shares issuable on exercise of such Rights may be resold without hold period restrictions under applicable securities laws in Canada by such holders provided that: (i) the sale is not by a “control person” of the Company; (ii) no unusual effort is made to prepare the market or create a demand for the Common Shares being resold; (iii) no extraordinary commission or consideration is paid to a person or company in respect of the resale; and (iv) if the selling securityholder is an insider or officer of the Company, the selling securityholder has no reasonable grounds to believe that the Company is in default of securities legislation. Neither the Rights nor the Common Shares issuable on exercise of the Rights have been or will be registered under the 1933 Act, and they may not be offered or re-offered or sold or re-sold within the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act.

REGISTRATION AND DELIVERY OF COMMON SHARE CERTIFICATES

Certificates for Common Shares issued on exercise of Rights in accordance with the Offering will be registered in the name of the person to whom the Rights Certificate was issued or to whom the Rights were transferred in accordance with the terms thereof, and mailed to the address of the subscriber for the Common Shares as stated on the Rights Certificate, unless otherwise directed, as soon as practicable after the Expiry Time.


INELIGIBLE SHAREHOLDERS

Rights Certificates will not be delivered to Ineligible Shareholders and subscriptions will not be accepted from or on behalf of Ineligible Shareholders or any person who appears to be, or who the Company or the Subscription Agent has reason to believe is, an Ineligible Shareholder.

Beneficial owners of outstanding Common Shares that are outside of Canada who wish to be recognized as Eligible Shareholders and who believe that their Rights Certificates may have been delivered to the Subscription Agent (as contemplated below) should contact the Subscription Agent well in advance of 10 days prior to the Expiration Date to have their Rights Certificates mailed to them.

Ineligible Shareholders should refer to the section below, “Shareholders Outside of Canada”, for a description of how Rights in respect of their shareholding are to be treated. Shareholders which are uncertain whether they are being treated as Eligible Shareholders or Ineligible Shareholders should contact the Company, the registered holder of the Shares in which they have an interest or their broker or financial advisor well in advance of 10 days prior to the Expiration Date.

SHAREHOLDERS OUTSIDE OF CANADA

No charge will be made for the sale of such Rights by the Subscription Agent except for a proportionate share of any brokerage commissions incurred by the Subscription Agent and the costs of or incurred by the Subscription Agent in connection with the sale of the Rights. Ineligible Shareholders will not be entitled to instruct the Subscription Agent in respect of the price or the time at which the Rights are to be sold. The Subscription Agent will endeavour to effect sales of Rights on the open market and any proceeds received by the Subscription Agent with respect to the sale of Rights net of brokerage fees and costs incurred and, if applicable, of the Canadian tax required to be withheld, will be divided on a pro rata basis among such Ineligible Shareholders and delivered by mailing cheques (in Canadian funds) of the Subscription Agent therefor as soon as practicable to such Ineligible Shareholders at their addresses recorded on the books of the Company. Amounts of less than $5.00 will not be remitted. The Subscription Agent will act in its capacity as agent of the Rights holders on a best efforts basis only and the Company and the Subscription Agent do not accept responsibility for the price obtained on the sale of, or the inability to sell, the Rights on behalf of any Ineligible Shareholder.
