  Form of Proxy for Holders of Common Shares — Annual and Special Meeting to be held on                , 2006


This Form of Proxy is solicited by and on behalf of Management.

Notes to proxy

1.
Every holder has the right to appoint some other person of their choice, who need not be a holder, to attend and act on their behalf at the meeting. If you wish to appoint a person other than the persons whose names are printed herein, please insert the name of your chosen proxyholder in the space provided (see reverse).

2.
If the securities are registered in the name of more than one owner (for example, joint ownership, trustees, executors, etc.), then all those registered should sign this proxy. If you are voting on behalf of a corporation or another individual you may be required to provide documentation evidencing your power to sign this proxy with signing capacity stated.

3.
This proxy should be signed in the exact manner as the name appears on the proxy.

4.
If this proxy is not dated, it will be deemed to bear the date on which it is mailed by Management to the holder.

5.
The securities represented by this proxy will be voted as directed by the holder, however, if you appoint the Management representatives as your proxy and such a direction is not made in respect of any matter, this proxy will be voted as recommended by Management unless you abstain in which case your vote will not be counted for or against the applicable matter.

6.
The securities represented by this proxy will be voted or withheld from voting, in accordance with the instructions of the holder, on any ballot that may be called for and, if the holder has specified a choice with respect to any matter to be acted on, the securities will be voted accordingly.

7.
This proxy confers discretionary authority in respect of amendments to matters identified in the Notice of Annual and Special Meeting or other matters that may properly come before the Meeting.

8.
Section 185 of the OBCA as modified by the Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement entitles registered shareholders to dissent from the Arrangement Resolution. A shareholder may only exercise the right to dissent from the Arrangement Resolution in respect of shares which are registered in that shareholder's name. Shareholders, including non-registered shareholders, who wish to dissent should carefully review the section entitled "Dissent Rights of Shareholders" in, and Appendix G to, the Management Information Circular and Proxy Statement which accompanies this proxy. The failure to comply strictly with the provisions of the OBCA as modified by the Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement may result in the loss or unavailability of the right to dissent.

9.
Section 190 of the CBCA entitles registered shareholders to dissent from the Continuance Resolution. A shareholder may only exercise the right to dissent from the Continuance Resolution in respect of shares which are registered in that shareholder's name. Shareholders, including non-registered shareholders, who wish to dissent should carefully review the section entitled "Dissent Rights of Shareholders" in, and Appendix G to, the Management Information Circular and Proxy Statement which accompanies this proxy. The failure to comply strictly with the provisions of the CBCA may result in the loss or unavailability of the right to dissent.

10.
If you acquired common shares after the record date you may use this form of proxy, but Management is not soliciting your proxy.
