LETTER TO SECURITYHOLDERS

May 29, 2008

TO:

The Securityholders of Pacific Asia China Energy Inc.

You are invited to attend a special meeting (the “Meeting”) of the holders of common shares (“Common Shares”) in the capital of Pacific Asia China Energy Inc. (“PACE”), the holders of options to acquire Common Shares (“Options”) and the holders of warrants to acquire Common Shares (“Warrants”, referred to collectively herein with the Common Shares and Options as the “Securities”), to be held at the offices of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, Suite 2600, Three Bentall Centre, 595 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia at 8:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on July 3, 2008 for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting of Securityholders.

At the Meeting, the holders of Securities (“Securityholders”) will be asked to consider and vote upon a special resolution authorizing and approving the proposed arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) involving PACE, the holders of Common Shares (“Common Shareholders”), GREKA China Ltd. (“GREKA”) and GREKA Acquisitions Ltd. (“Acquisitionco”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of GREKA.  The Arrangement provides that each Common Shareholder will receive from Acquisitionco, in exchange for each Common Share held, CDN$0.35 cash per Common Share.  All Options and Warrants are to be cancelled under the Arrangement.

For the Arrangement to proceed, it must be approved by at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by the Securityholders present in person or by proxy at the Meeting, with Common Shareholders, holders of Options and holders of Warrants voting as a single class (each Common Shareholder shall be entitled to one vote per Common Share held, each holder of Options shall be entitled to one vote for each Option held and each holder of Warrants shall be entitled to one vote per Warrant held) provided that 66 2/3% of the votes cast by Common Shareholders present in person or by proxy at the Meeting approve the Arrangement.  The completion of the Arrangement is also conditional on receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and other customary conditions.

If the requisite securityholder and regulatory approvals are obtained, PACE will seek an order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving the Arrangement following the Meeting.  All Securityholders who have the right to attend and to be heard at the final hearing of the Supreme Court of British Columbia.  The final hearing will be heard on July 3, 2008 at 2:00 p.m. (Vancouver Time) at the Courthouse at 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia.  Please see the Interim Order attached as Appendix “A” to the accompanying management information circular and proxy statement and the notice of application attached as Appendix “B” to the accompanying management information circular for details on how to attend and be heard at the final hearing.

The Board of Directors of PACE retained Haywood Securities Inc. (“Haywood”) as financial advisor to PACE.  Haywood has delivered to the Board of Directors its opinion that the consideration to be received by Common Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Common Shareholders (including holders of Options and Warrants who become Common Shareholders upon the exercise of Options or Warrants prior to the Effective Time).  The Board of Directors of PACE has carefully reviewed Haywood’s opinion, as well as other relevant matters, and has concluded that the Arrangement is fair to Common Shareholders, that it is in the best interest of PACE and Common Shareholders and that it should be placed before the Securityholders for their approval.  The Board of Directors of PACE recommends that you vote in favour of the Arrangement.

All of the directors and officers of PACE have signed a lock-up agreement pursuant to which they have agreed to vote the Common Shares held by them in favour of the Arrangement.

The accompanying management information circular and proxy statement provides a detailed description of the Arrangement and the matters to come before the Meeting.  Please give this material your careful consideration. If you require assistance, you should consult your financial, income tax or other professional advisor. If you are unable to attend the Meeting in person, please complete and deliver the form or forms of proxy applicable to you as a Securityholder of PACE, in the applicable form or forms attached, to ensure your representation at the Meeting.

If the Arrangement is completed, a form of letter of transmittal containing instructions with respect to the delivery of certificates representing Common Shares will be sent to the registered Common Shareholders for use in exchanging their certificates for the net cash consideration payable to such Common Shareholder.  Upon completion of the Arrangement and surrender of a properly completed letter of transmittal, together with certificates representing Common Shares, cheques for an amount equal to CDN$0.35 per Common Share so tendered will be issued and delivered to each former registered Common Shareholder.

To be represented at the Meeting, you must either attend the Meeting in person or complete and sign the applicable enclosed form or forms of proxy and forward such form(s) so as to reach or be deposited with, in the case of registered Common Shareholders, Pacific Corporate Trust Company and, in the case of holders of Options and Warrants, PACE c/o Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, no later than 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on June30, 2008.  Envelopes addressed to Pacific Corporate Trust Company and Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP are enclosed for your convenience.

If you are a non-registered holder of Common Shares and have received these materials from your broker or another intermediary, please complete and return the proxy or other authorization form provided to you by your broker or other intermediary in accordance with the instructions provided therein. Failure to do so may result in your Common Shares not being eligible to be voted at the Meeting.

(“Acquisitionco”) pursuant to section 288 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “BCBCA”), all as more particularly described in the Information Circular; and

2.

to transact such further and other business as may properly be brought before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Specific details of the matters proposed to be put before the Meeting are set forth in the Information Circular, which accompanies this Notice of Special Meeting of Securityholders.

The determination of Securityholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting is the close of business on May 29, 2008 (the “Record Date”).  Only Securityholders whose names have been entered in the applicable registers of Securityholders on the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting.  With respect to Common Shareholders, the Common Shareholders of record will be entitled to vote those Common Shares included in the list of Common Shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting prepared as at the Record Date, unless any Common Shareholder transfers Common Shares after the Record Date and the transferee of those Common Shares, having produced properly endorsed certificates evidencing such Common Shares or having otherwise established that he owns such Common Shares, demands, at least ten days before the Meeting, that the transferee’s name be included in the list of Common Shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting, in which case such transferee shall be entitled to vote such Common Shares at the Meeting.

A Securityholder may attend the Meeting in person or may be represented by proxy.  Securityholders who are unable to attend the Meeting or any adjournment thereof in person are requested to date, sign and return the applicable accompanying form or forms of proxy for use at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.  To be effective, the proxy must be received, with respect to Common Shares, by Pacific Corporate Trust Company and, with respect to Options and Warrants, by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, by 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on June 30, 2008 or the last business day prior to any adjournment of the Meeting.

Securityholders who are planning to return the applicable accompanying form or forms of proxy are encouraged to review the Information Circular carefully before submitting the proxy form(s).  

If you are an unregistered holder of Common Shares and have received these materials through your broker or through another intermediary, please complete and return the form of proxy provided to you by your broker or other intermediary in accordance with the instructions provided therein.

Pursuant to the Interim Order, each registered Securityholder has been granted the right to dissent in respect of the Arrangement Resolution and, if the Arrangement becomes effective, to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Securities in accordance with the provisions of Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA, as modified and supplemented by the Interim Order.  To exercise such right, (a) a written objection to the Arrangement Resolution must be received by PACE c/o Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, at Suite 2600, Three Bentall Centre, 595 Burrard Street, P.O. Box 49314, Vancouver, British Columbia, V7X 1L3, Fax: (604) 631-3309, Attention: Sarah Pybus, not later than 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) at least two business days prior to the Meeting, (b) the Securityholder shall not have voted in favour of the Arrangement Resolution, and (c) the Securityholder must have otherwise complied with the provisions of Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA, as modified and supplemented by the Interim Order.  The right to dissent is described in the Information Circular and the texts of the Interim Order and Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA are set forth in Appendices “A” and “E”, respectively, to the Information Circular.

Persons who are beneficial owners of Common Shares registered in the name of a broker, custodian, nominee or other intermediary who wish to dissent should be aware that only registered holders of Common Shares are entitled to dissent.  Accordingly, a beneficial owner of Common Shares desiring to exercise this right must make arrangements for the Common Shares beneficially owned by such person to be registered in his, her or its name prior to the time the written objection to the Arrangement Resolution is required to be received by PACE or, alternatively, make arrangements for the registered holder of Common Shares to dissent on his, her or its behalf.

Failure to strictly comply with the requirements set forth in Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA, as modified and supplemented by the Interim Order, may result in the loss of any right of dissent.

At the Meeting, Securityholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, pass, with or without variation, the Arrangement Resolution.

The Arrangement

Under the Arrangement Agreement, Acquisitionco will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares and all of the outstanding Options and Warrants will be cancelled.  Upon completion of the Arrangement, each Common Shareholder will receive from Acquisitionco, in exchange for each PACE Common Share held, CDN$0.35 per Common Share.  For additional information regarding the terms and conditions of the Arrangement, see “The Arrangement” and “The Arrangement Agreement”.

Background to the Arrangement

In the fall of 2007, PACE personnel in the PRC suggested to the Board of Directors that PACE consider conducting business with Green Dragon.  In October 2007, Mr. Devinder Randhawa, the Chief Executive Officer of PACE, met with Mr. Randeep Grewal, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of both Green Dragon and GREKA, Green Dragon’s wholly-owned subsidiary, to discuss areas of mutual interest in the PRC.  It was at this time that the parties raised the possibility of conducting a joint venture or a merger.  

During November and December 2007, the parties met on numerous occasions to further discuss strategic possibilities, and particularly an acquisition of PACE by GREKA.  In January 2008, Green Dragon and PACE negotiated the terms of a non-disclosure agreement, which was executed by GREKA and PACE on January 26, 2008.  Upon execution of the non-disclosure agreement, PACE provided Green Dragon with access to certain confidential financial and other information concerning its business and operations in order that Green Dragon could commence its due diligence investigation of PACE.

On February 18, 2008, the Board of Directors and PACE’s legal advisors, Blake , Cassels & Grayson LLP, met with Mr. Grewal and GREKA’s legal advisors, Owen Bird Law Corporation, in Vancouver, British Columbia, to negotiate a possible transaction.  As a result of such negotiations, the parties agreed to pursue a statutory plan of arrangement.  In addition, the parties agreed that, as a condition to completing the proposed arrangement, the directors and officers of PACE would enter into a lock-up agreement with GREKA.  During these negotiations, GREKA proposed that GREKA would acquire all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares for CDN$0.38 per Common Share.  

On February 19, 2008, the Board of Directors agreed in principle to consider the proposed consideration of CDN$0.38 per share, and on February 21, 2008, engaged Haywood to act as exclusive financial advisor to PACE with respect to the proposed arrangement and to, among other things, prepare and deliver the Fairness Opinion.

From February 21, 2008 to March 19, 2008, GREKA and PACE negotiated the terms of the Arrangement Agreement.  On March 11, 2008 certain directors of PACE met with Mr. Grewal in London and made significant progress in settling outstanding issues in connection with the preparation of the definitive agreements.  Following that meeting, PACE held a conference call with its legal advisors to finalize certain terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement and lock-up agreement.

On March 19, 2008, the Board held a meeting to consider the terms of the definitive Arrangement Agreement and review the verbal fairness opinion of Haywood and other relevant information. The Board resolved to approve, among other things, the Arrangement Agreement and the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement, subject to such revisions as the Board may deem necessary or advisable and other conditions.  A lock-up agreement was entered into on March 26, 2008 and the Arrangement Agreement was entered into on March 27, 2008.  The Arrangement Agreement was announced by way of joint press release of PACE and GREKA the same day.

Following execution of the Arrangement Agreement, PACE began preparing this Proxy Circular and GREKA continued to conduct its due diligence investigation of PACE.  On April 26, 2008, GREKA advised PACE that it had not yet completed its due diligence investigation of PACE and requested an extension of the due diligence period under the Arrangement Agreement in order that GREKA could complete its investigation and ultimately complete the Arrangement.  The Board met to consider and granted GREKA an extension of the due diligence period to May 10, 2008.  The due diligence period was again extended on May 8, 2008 to May 15, 2008.

On May 15, 2008, GREKA advised the management of PACE that due to certain potential liabilities of PACE, while GREKA still wanted to complete the Arrangement with PACE, it would only do so at a reduced purchase price that was reflective of these potential liabilities.  The same day, the Board convened a meeting to consider whether to accept GREKA’s proposal to complete the Arrangement on the basis that the Common Shareholders would receive CDN$0.35 per Common Share, rather than the originally offered price of CDN$0.38 per Common Share.  The Board considered a number of factors in determining to approve the proposal, including, but not limited to, the fact that Haywood had agreed to review the revised offer and provide a new fairness opinion based on the new information and revised purchase price and the fact that GREKA had agreed to remove the due diligence condition in favour of GREKA in the Arrangement Agreement.  Two of the directors of PACE, Mr. Scoretz and Mr. Sai, voted against the amendment on the basis that the new purchase price did not reflect fair value.

On May 19, 2008, GREKA, Acquisitionco and PACE executed an amendment agreement to the Arrangement Agreement and certain directors and officers of PACE entered into the Lock-up Agreement.

Reasons for the Arrangement

In making its determination as to the Arrangement and its fairness and in support of the Board of Director’s recommendation to Securityholders to vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution, the Board of Directors considered a number of factors in support of the Arrangement, including that:

the consideration of CDN$0.35 per Common Share being offered to Common Shareholders under the Arrangement represents a premium of approximately 46% over the market value of the Common Shares on the TSX-V as of the last trading date prior to the announcement of the transaction;

the consideration to be paid under the Arrangement was achieved through an active and extensive process to solicit proposals to acquire PACE from a number of potentially interested third parties, which process was supervised by the Board of Directors with the assistance of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP as counsel;

the consideration by the Board of Directors of other alternatives to maximize Common Shareholder value and the conclusion that the Arrangement is the most favourable alternative available;

the Fairness Opinion, which was provided to the Board of Directors, to the effect that as of the date of such opinion, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, matters considered, limitations and qualifications described in such opinion, the consideration to be received by Common Shareholders under the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to Common Shareholders;

the consideration under the Arrangement is all cash, which provides certainty of value to the Securityholders compared to a transaction in which Securityholders would receive all or part of the consideration in securities;

the obligations of the Purchaser are not subject to a financing condition and the Board of Directors’ comfort with the Purchaser’s commitment and ability to complete the Arrangement;

Securityholders holding approximately 25% of the outstanding Common Shares, Options and Warrants have independently agreed to vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution and to support the Arrangement and no other transaction, and have entered into the Lock-up Agreement with GREKA to that effect;

the Arrangement must be approved by the Court, which will consider, among other things, the fairness and reasonableness of the Arrangement;

the availability of Dissent Rights for Securityholders;

management of PACE advised that they did not expect there to be material developments in the business in the near future that might significantly increase the market price of the Common Shares;

the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement, including the respective representations, warranties and covenants of PACE and the Purchaser, and the conditions to their respective obligations, are, in the judgment of PACE and its advisors, reasonable and were the product of extensive negotiations between PACE and its advisors and the Purchaser and its advisors; and

the business reputation of GREKA and its knowledge of the business of PACE.

The Board also considered a number of other matters relating to the Arrangement, including:

following completion of the Arrangement, PACE will no longer exist as an independent public company and Common Shareholders will not participate in any future earnings or growth of PACE;

the requirement that certain conditions to the completion of the Arrangement must be satisfied and the right of GREKA to terminate the Arrangement Agreement if they are not satisfied;

the costs to PACE of the Arrangement if it is not completed, including the diversion of management attention away from the conduct of PACE’s business in the ordinary course;

an all-cash transaction will generally be taxable to non-exempt Common Shareholders for U.S. and Canadian federal income tax purposes;

the provisions in the Arrangement Agreement restricting PACE from soliciting other Acquisition Proposals, cancelling the Meeting or terminating the Arrangement Agreement to accept another offer, which combined with the existence of the Lock-up Agreement, negates the likelihood of a successful Superior Proposal; and

the limitations in the Arrangement Agreement on the conduct of the businesses of PACE in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and, in certain circumstances, requiring the prior written consent of GREKA, which may delay or prevent PACE from pursuing business opportunities that would be advisable if PACE were to remain an independent public company.

See “The Arrangement – Reasons for the Arrangement”.  

Fairness Opinion

The Board of Directors has received the Fairness Opinion from Haywood. The Fairness Opinion provides that, on the basis of the information provided to and reviewed by Haywood and certain assumptions, all as set out in the Fairness Opinion, as of the date of the Fairness Opinion, the consideration to be received by Common Shareholders under the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to Common Shareholders. A copy of the Fairness Opinion is attached to this Information Circular as Appendix “D” and should be read carefully and in its entirety.  

See “The Arrangement – The Fairness Opinion”.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has concluded that the Arrangement is fair to Common Shareholders and is in the best interests of PACE and the Common Shareholders and recommends that the Securityholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.

See “The Arrangement – Recommendation of the Board of Directors”.

Overview of Procedure for the Arrangement to Become Effective

Procedural Steps

The Arrangement is proposed to be carried out pursuant to section 288 of the BCBCA. The following procedural steps must be taken in order for the Arrangement to become effective:

(a)

the Arrangement must be approved by the Securityholders in the manner set forth in the Interim Order;

(b)

the Court must grant the Final Order approving the Arrangement; and

(c)

all conditions precedent to the Arrangement, as set forth in the Arrangement Agreement, must be satisfied or waived by the appropriate party.

See “Procedure for the Arrangement to Become Effective – Procedural Steps”.

Securityholder Approval

Pursuant to the BCBCA, PACE’s Articles and the terms of the Interim Order, the Arrangement must be approved by at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by the Securityholders present in person or by proxy at the Meeting voting together as a single class (each Common Shareholder shall be entitled to one vote per Common Share held, each Optionholder shall be entitled to one vote for each Option held and Warrantholders shall be entitled to one vote per Warrant held) provided that 66 2/3% of the votes cast by Common Shareholders present in person or by proxy at the Meeting approve the Arrangement.

The determination of Securityholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting is the close of business on the Record Date. Only Securityholders whose names have been entered in the applicable registers of Securityholders, on the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting.  With respect to Common Shareholders, Common Shareholders of record will be entitled to vote those Common Shares included in the list of Common Shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting prepared as at the Record Date, unless any Common Shareholder transfers Common Shares after the Record Date and the transferee of those Common Shares, having produced properly endorsed certificates evidencing such Common Shares or having otherwise established that he owns such Common Shares, demands, at least 10 days before the Meeting, that the transferee’s name be included in the list of Common Shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting, in which case such transferee shall be entitled to vote such Common Shares at the Meeting.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Arrangement Resolution authorizes the Board of Directors, without further notice to or approval of the Securityholders, subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, to amend the Arrangement Agreement, to decide not to proceed with the Arrangement and to revoke such Arrangement Resolution at any time prior to the Arrangement becoming effective pursuant to the provisions of the BCBCA. The Arrangement Agreement provides that the terms under which the Common Shares are exchanged for cash in the Arrangement Agreement cannot be amended without the approval of the Securityholders.  See Appendix “C” to this Information Circular for the full text of the Arrangement Resolution.

Court Approval

On May 29, 2008, PACE obtained the Interim Order providing for the calling and holding of the Meeting and other procedural matters. The Interim Order is attached as Appendix “A” to this Information Circular.  

Subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and, if the Arrangement Resolution is approved at the Meeting, PACE will make application to the Court for the Final Order at the British Columbia Supreme Court, 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6Z 2E1 on July 3, 2008, at 2:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) or as soon thereafter as counsel may be heard. Any Securityholder or any other interested party desiring to appear at the hearing is required to file with the Court and serve upon PACE, on or before 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on June 30, 2008, a notice of its intention to appear, including an address for service in Vancouver, British Columbia (or alternatively, a telecopier number for service by telecopy), together with any evidence or materials which are to be presented to the Court.  Service on PACE is to be effected by delivery to the solicitors for PACE at Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, 595 Burrard Street, Suite 2600, Three Bentall Centre, Vancouver, BC, V7X 1L3, telecopy: (604) 631-3309, Attention: Sean Boyle.

The Notice of Application for the Final Order is attached as Appendix “B” to this Information Circular.

Governmental and Regulatory Approvals

The Arrangement Agreement provides that receipt of all governmental and regulatory approvals, including, without limitation, approval of the appropriate Governmental Entities in the PRC required to keep the PSC’s and licenses of PACE in good standing notwithstanding the Arrangement, is a condition precedent to the Arrangement becoming effective.  PACE is not aware of any material regulatory approvals that have not been obtained which would prevent PACE, GREKA and Acquisitionco from completing the Arrangement.

Timing

If the Meeting is held and the Arrangement Resolution is approved by Securityholders as required by the Interim Order, PACE will apply to the Court for the Final Order. If the Final Order is obtained on July 3, 2008, in form and substance satisfactory to PACE and GREKA, and all other conditions specified in the Arrangement Agreement are satisfied or waived, PACE and GREKA expect that the Effective Date will be July 3, 2008 or as soon as possible thereafter upon the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.  

The Effective Date could be delayed, however, for a number of reasons, including an objection before the Court in the hearing of the application for the Final Order.

Procedure for Exchange of Common Share Certificates

From and after the Effective Date, certificates formerly representing Common Shares shall represent only the right to receive the cash consideration, without interest, to which the Common Shareholders are entitled to pursuant to the Arrangement.  In order to receive payment of the cash to which they are entitled pursuant to the Arrangement, registered Common Shareholders must complete and return the Letter of Transmittal, together with the certificate(s) representing their Common Shares to the Depositary at one of the offices specified in the Letter of Transmittal.  Common Shareholders whose Common Shares are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or other nominee should not submit a Letter of Transmittal.  Instead, such persons should contact the broker, dealer, bank, trust company or other nominee, as applicable, to give instructions for the deposit of their securities and determine the process for obtaining payment.

Pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Arrangement, any certificate formerly representing Common Shares that is not deposited with all other documents required hereunder on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature and the right of the holder of such Common Shares to receive the cash consideration shall be deemed to be surrendered to Acquisitionco together with all dividends, distributions and any interest thereon held for such holder.

See “Procedure for Exchange of Common Share Certificates”.

Lock-Up Agreement

Certain of the directors and officers of PACE have entered into an agreement with GREKA pursuant to which they have agreed to support the Arrangement and, subject to certain exceptions, vote the Common Shares which they beneficially own or subsequently acquire in favour of the Arrangement.  The directors and officers of PACE hold an aggregate of 10,175,666 Common Shares, representing approximately 11% of the aggregate outstanding Common Shares.

See “Lock-Up Agreement”.

Right of Dissent

Pursuant to the BCBCA and the Interim Order, a Securityholder will have the right to dissent with respect to the Arrangement Resolution. To exercise such right, the Dissenting Securityholder must send to PACE a written objection to the Arrangement Resolution, which written objection in respect of Securities must be received by PACE c/o Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, Suite 2600, Three Bentall Centre, 595 Burrard Street, P.O. Box 49314 Vancouver, British Columbia, V7X 1L3, Fax: (604) 631-3309, Attention: Sarah Pybus, by 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) two business days prior to the Meeting and the Dissenting Securityholders must otherwise comply with Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA, as modified and supplemented by the Interim Order. Provided the Arrangement becomes effective, each Dissenting Securityholder will be entitled to be paid the fair value of the Securities in respect of which the holder dissents in accordance with Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA, as modified and supplemented by the Interim Order. See Appendices “A” and “E” for a copy of the Interim Order and the provisions of Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA, respectively.

The statutory provisions covering the Dissent Rights are technical and complex. Failure to strictly comply with the requirements set forth in Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA, as modified and supplemented by the Interim Order, may result in the loss of any Dissent Rights. A person who is a beneficial holder of Common Shares registered in the name of a broker, custodian, nominee or other intermediary who wishes to dissent, should be aware that only the registered holder of such Common Shares is entitled to dissent. Accordingly, a beneficial holder of Common Shares desiring to exercise Dissent Rights must make arrangements for such Common Shares beneficially owned to be registered in such holder’s name prior to the time the written objection to the Arrangement Resolution is required to be received by PACE or, alternatively, make arrangements for the registered holder of such Common Shares to dissent on such holder’s behalf.  See “Right of Dissent”.

It is a condition to the Arrangement that Dissenting Optionholders and Dissenting Warrantholders holding no more than 10% of the issued and outstanding Securities shall have validly exercised Dissent Rights in relation to the Arrangement Resolution that have not been withdrawn as at the Effective Date. See “The Arrangement Agreement – Conditions to the Arrangement”.

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

Generally, a Common Shareholder who is a Canadian resident for the purposes of the Tax Act and who holds Common Shares as capital property will realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the cash received by such Common Shareholder for the Common Shares under the Arrangement, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceeds (or is less than) the adjusted cost base to the holder of such Common Shares.

Generally, a Common Shareholder who is not a Canadian resident for purposes of the Tax Act and whose Common Shares do not constitute “taxable Canadian property” for purposes of the Tax Act will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on any gain realized on the disposition of such Common Shares under the Arrangement.

See “Certain Tax Considerations for Securityholders – Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

Risk Factors

The following risk factors should be considered by Securityholders in evaluating whether to approve the Arrangement. These risk factors should be considered in conjunction with the other information included in this Information Circular and the risk factors disclosed in PACE’s MD&A for PACE’s year ended February 28, 2007.

Risks to which PACE may be subject to in the event that the Arrangement is not completed include:

PACE will continue to face all of the existing operational and financial risks of its business as described in the MD&A and herein;

the price of the Common Shares may decline to the extent that the relevant current market price of the Common Shares reflects a market assumption that the Arrangement will be completed;

certain costs related to the Arrangement, such as legal, accounting and certain financial advisor fees incurred by PACE, must be paid by PACE even if the Arrangement is not completed, as well as the diversion of management attention away from the conduct of PACE’s business in the ordinary course; and

if the Arrangement is terminated and the Board of Directors decides to seek another merger or business combination, there can be no assurance that it will be able to find a party willing to pay an equivalent or more attractive price than the consideration to be received pursuant to the Arrangement.

If the Arrangement is completed, PACE will no longer exist as an independent public company and Securityholders will not participate in any future earnings or growth of PACE.

The Plan of Arrangement is attached as Schedule A to the Arrangement Agreement, which is filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.  Readers are encouraged to carefully review the Plan of Arrangement, as it contains the specific terms and conditions governing the Arrangement.

Background to the Arrangement

The Arrangement Agreement is the result of arm’s length negotiations conducted between representatives of PACE and GREKA and their respective advisors.  The following is a summary of the meetings, negotiations, discussions and actions between the parties that preceded the execution of and public announcement of the Arrangement Agreement.

Negotiations with GREKA

In the fall of 2007, PACE personnel in the PRC suggested to the Board of Directors that PACE consider conducting business with Green Dragon.  In October 2007, Mr. Randhawa, the Chief Executive Officer of PACE, met with Mr. Grewal, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of both Green Dragon and GREKA, Green Dragon’s wholly-owned subsidiary, to discuss areas of mutual interest in the PRC.  It was at this time that Mr. Grewal expressed an interest in an acquisition of PACE.

During November and December 2007, the parties met on numerous occasions to discuss strategic possibilities.  In January 2008, Green Dragon and PACE negotiated the terms of a non-disclosure agreement, which was executed by GREKA and PACE on January 26, 2008.  Upon execution of the non-disclosure agreement, PACE provided Green Dragon with access to certain confidential financial and other information concerning its business and operations in order that Green Dragon could commence its due diligence investigation of PACE.

On February 18, 2008, the Board of Directors and PACE’s legal advisors, Blake , Cassels & Grayson LLP, met with Mr. Grewal and GREKA’s legal advisors, Owen Bird Law Corporation, in Vancouver, British Columbia, to negotiate a possible transaction.  As a result of such negotiations, the parties agreed to pursue a statutory plan of arrangement.  In addition, the parties agreed that, as a condition to completing the proposed arrangement, the directors and officers of PACE would enter into a lock-up agreement with GREKA.  During these negotiations, GREKA proposed that GREKA would acquire all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares for CDN$0.38 per share.  

On February 19, 2008, the Board of Directors met and agreed in principle to consider the proposed consideration of CDN$0.38 per share.  Following the meeting of the Board, Mr. Randhawa contacted Mr. Grewal to confirm the Board consideration of the consideration payable under the proposed arrangement, and the parties agreed to move forward with the transaction.

Engagement of Financial Advisor

On February 21, 2008, the Board of Directors engaged Haywood to act as exclusive financial advisor to PACE with respect to the proposed plan of arrangement.  Pursuant to the engagement letter entered into between PACE and Haywood, Haywood agreed to, among other things, provide advice and assistance to the Board of Directors in evaluating the Arrangement, including the preparation and delivery to the Board of its opinion stating whether the consideration payable under the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Common Shareholders.

The Arrangement Agreement

From February 21, 2008 to March 19, 2008, GREKA and PACE negotiated the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, with counsel to GREKA and PACE exchanging drafts of the Arrangement Agreement and a lock-up agreement.  On March 11, 2008 certain directors of PACE met with Mr. Grewal in London and settled the terms of the definitive agreements.

On March 19, 2008, the Board met to consider the terms of the definitive Arrangement Agreement and review the fairness opinion of Haywood, which, at that time, was given on the basis of a purchase price of CDN$0.38 per Common Share.  Upon review and consideration of the relevant facts and the fairness opinion, the Board resolved to approve, among other things, the Arrangement Agreement and the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement, subject to such revisions as the Board deemed necessary or advisable and other conditions.  The directors and officers entered into a lock-up agreement with GREKA on March 26, 2008 and the Arrangement Agreement was executed on March 27, 2008.  The Arrangement Agreement was announced by way of joint press release of PACE and GREKA the same day.

Amendment Agreement to the Arrangement Agreement

Following execution of the Arrangement Agreement, PACE began preparing this Proxy Circular and GREKA continued to conduct its due diligence investigation of PACE.  On April 26, 2008, GREKA advised PACE that it had not yet completed its due diligence investigation of PACE and requested an extension of the due diligence period under the Arrangement Agreement in order that GREKA could complete its investigation and ultimately complete the Arrangement.  The Board met to consider and granted GREKA an extension of the due diligence period to May 10, 2008.  The due diligence period was again extended on May 8, 2008 to May 15, 2008.

On May 15, 2008, GREKA advised the management of PACE that due to certain potential liabilities of PACE, while GREKA still wanted to complete the Arrangement with PACE, it would only do so at a reduced purchase price that was reflective of these potential liabilities.  The same day, the Board convened a meeting to consider whether to accept GREKA’s proposal to complete the Arrangement on the basis that the Common Shareholders would receive CDN$0.35 per Common Share, rather than the originally offered price of CDN$0.38 per Common Share.  The Board considered a number of factors in determining to approve the proposal, including, but not limited to, the fact that Haywood had agreed to review the revised offer and provide a new fairness opinion based on the new information and revised purchase price and the fact that GREKA had agreed to remove the due diligence condition in favour of GREKA in the Arrangement Agreement.  Two of the directors of PACE, Mr. Scoretz and Mr. Sai, voted against the amendment on the basis that the new purchase price did not reflect fair value.

On May 19, 2008, GREKA, Acquisitionco and PACE executed an amendment agreement to the Arrangement Agreement which reflects the decreased purchase price, amends the dates for completion of the transaction, removes the due diligence condition in favour of GREKA and includes a condition for the mutual benefit of the parties that Haywood provide its Fairness Opinion for inclusion in this Proxy Circular.  In addition, certain directors and officers of PACE entered into the Lock-up Agreement with GREKA to vote the PACE Securities held by them in favour of the Arrangement at the Meeting.

Reasons for the Arrangement

In making its determination as to the Arrangement and its fairness and in support of the Board of Director’s recommendation to Securityholders to vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution, the Board of Directors considered a number of factors in support of the Arrangement, including that:

the consideration of CDN$0.35 per Common Share being offered to Common Shareholders under the Arrangement represents a premium of approximately 46% over the market value of the Common Shares on the TSX-V as of the last trading date prior to the announcement of the transaction;

the requirement that certain conditions to the completion of the Arrangement must be satisfied and the right of GREKA to terminate the Arrangement Agreement if they are not satisfied;

the costs to PACE of the Arrangement if it is not completed, including the diversion of management attention away from the conduct of PACE’s business in the ordinary course;

an all-cash transaction will generally be taxable to non-exempt Common Shareholders for U.S. and Canadian federal income tax purposes;

the provisions in the Arrangement Agreement restricting PACE from soliciting other Acquisition Proposals, cancelling the Meeting or terminating the Arrangement Agreement to accept another offer, which combined with the existence of the Lock-up Agreement, negates the likelihood of a successful Superior Proposal; and

the limitations in the Arrangement Agreement on the conduct of the businesses of PACE in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and, in certain circumstances, requiring the prior written consent of GREKA, which may delay or prevent PACE from pursuing business opportunities that would be advisable if PACE were to remain an independent public company.

See “The Arrangement Agreement”.

The Fairness Opinion

In its evaluation of the Arrangement and the proposed acquisition of PACE by GREKA, the Board of Directors relied upon, among other things, the Fairness Opinion of Haywood, as financial advisor to the Board of Directors, as to whether the consideration to be received by Common Shareholders (including Optionholders and Warrantholders who become Common Shareholders upon the exercise of Options and Warrants prior to the Effective Time) under the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Common Shareholders. Haywood was retained as financial advisor to the Board of Directors on the basis of its expertise in such matters. Haywood is a licenced and registered investment dealer that provides investment research, corporate finance advice and services, and engages in securities trading and investment banking activities. Haywood is not controlled by a commercial bank or financial institution and is not in the business of providing accounting, auditing, legal, tax, regulatory or actuarial services.  

Haywood was not engaged to prepare, and has not prepared, a valuation or appraisal of PACE or GREKA or any of their respective securities, assets or liabilities and the Fairness Opinion should not be construed as such.

None of Haywood, its affiliates or its associates is an insider, associate or affiliate (as those terms are defined in the Securities Act (British Columbia)) of PACE or Green Dragon, or any of their respective associates or affiliates. In addition, other than pursuant to the engagement described above, Haywood is not now an advisor to PACE, Green Dragon or any of their respective affiliates or associates.

Except as otherwise described herein: (a) Haywood has neither provided financial advisory services nor participated in any financings involving PACE, Green Dragon or any of their respective affiliates or associates; (b) the fee payable to Haywood under the engagement letter on the delivery of the Fairness Opinion is not contingent upon the conclusions or opinion reached by Haywood in the Fairness Opinion; and (c) there are no understandings, agreements or commitments between Haywood and PACE, Green Dragon or any of their respective affiliates or associates with respect to any future business dealings.  However, Haywood may in the future, in the ordinary course of business, seek to perform financial advisory or investment banking services from time-to-time for any one or more of PACE, Green Dragon or any of their respective affiliates or associates.

In connection with PACE’s reverse take-over of China-Canada Energy Corp. in January 2006, Haywood acted as one of the agents in respect of a $6,617,000 private placement by PACE of 13,234,000 units at $0.50 per unit that closed January 4, 2006.  With the exception of these matters and in the context of the engagement agreement, Haywood has not provided investment banking or financial advisory services to PACE or any related entity thereof.

Haywood acts as a securities trader and dealer, both as principal and agent, in all major Canadian financial markets and, as such, may have had or may in the future have long or short positions in securities of PACE or GREKA and, from time to time, may have executed or may execute transactions on their behalf or on behalf of other clients for which Haywood receives compensation.  As an investment dealer, Haywood conducts research on securities and may, in the ordinary course of business, provide research reports and investment advice to its clients on investment matters, including matters involving an investment in PACE or GREKA.

In consideration for its services as financial advisor to PACE, including the provision of the Fairness Opinion, Haywood is to be paid a flat fee by PACE, payable upon the delivery of the Fairness Opinion to the Board.

The Fairness Opinion does not address the fairness of the Arrangement to GREKA and its affiliates, to the extent they hold Common Shares.  In the Fairness Opinion, Haywood concluded, on the basis of the information provided to and reviewed by Haywood and certain assumptions, all as set out in the Fairness Opinion, that as of the date of such opinion, the consideration to be received by the Common Shareholders under the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Common Shareholders.

A copy of the Fairness Opinion is attached to this Information Circular as Appendix “D” and should be read carefully and in its entirety.  The Fairness Opinion was provided to the Board of Directors to assist the Board of Directors in considering the Arrangement and the Board’s recommendation to the Securityholders with respect to the Arrangement. The Fairness Opinion is not, and is not to be construed as a recommendation to any Securityholders as to whether or not such holder should vote in favour of the Arrangement.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

At a meeting of the Board of Directors held prior to entering into the Arrangement Agreement, the Board of Directors considered the Arrangement on the terms and conditions provided for in the Arrangement Agreement.  The Board of Directors has concluded that the Arrangement is fair to Common Shareholders (including Optionholders and Warrantholders who become Common Shareholders upon the exercise of Options and Warrants prior to the Effective Time) and is in the best interest of PACE and the Common Shareholders, and as such, has authorized submission of the Arrangement Resolution to the Securityholders for approval and to the Court for the Final Order.

In coming to its conclusion and recommendations, the Board of Directors considered, among others, the following factors:

(a)

the purpose of the Arrangement as outlined herein;

(b)

information concerning the financial condition, results of operations, business plans and prospects of PACE;

(c)

under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the Board of Directors is able to consider (in accordance with the provisions of the Arrangement Agreement) any unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal that may be a Superior Proposal and approve or recommend to Securityholders to enter into an agreement in respect of a Superior Proposal;

(d)

the Fairness Opinion; and

(e)

that Securityholders that oppose the Arrangement may, subject to compliance with certain conditions, dissent with respect to the Arrangement Resolution and be entitled to be paid the fair value for their Securities  in accordance with Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA and the Interim Order.

The Board of Directors recommends that the Securityholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.

(b)

waive compliance with or modify any of the covenants contained herein and waive or modify performance of any of the obligations of the parties hereto; or

(c)

waive compliance with or modify any of the conditions precedent contained herein,

provided that no such amendment may change the provisions thereof regarding the amount and timing of the consideration to be received by Common Shareholders, without approval of such Common Shareholders, given in the same manner as required for the approval of the Arrangement.

Non-Solicitation and Superior Proposals

Until completion of the Arrangement or the earlier termination of the Arrangement Agreement, PACE has agreed that it will not, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, employee, Common Shareholders, investment banker, legal advisor, representative, accountant or other agent of PACE or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise:

(a)

solicit, initiate, encourage or take any action to facilitate the submission or initiation of any inquiries or proposals regarding any matter or thing inconsistent with the successful completion of the Arrangement;

(b)

participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, furnish information with respect to, otherwise cooperate with, assist, participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort or attempt by any person to do or seek to do any matter or thing inconsistent with the successful completion of the Arrangement;

(c)

make or authorize any statements, recommendation or solicitation in support of any offer or proposal that constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to an Acquisition Proposal; or

(d)

otherwise encourage any effort or attempt by any person to do or seek any of the foregoing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, PACE, in response to an Acquisition Proposal, may negotiate, provide confidential information and explore or otherwise engage in substantive discussions with such third party regarding a competing offer, but only if:

(a)

such proposal did not result from a breach of the non-solicitation covenants immediately above; and

(b)

the Board of Directors determines, in good faith and exercising its reasonable judgment, that it should deal with the competing offer:

(i)

after consultation with and the receipt of written advice from a qualified financial advisor that the competing offer is or could result in a Superior Proposal; and

(ii)

after consultation with and the receipt of advice from its outside legal counsel that taking such action is required to comply with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors under applicable law.

Upon execution of the Arrangement Agreement, PACE was required to cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions or negotiations with all parties (other than GREKA) that had, prior to the date of the Arrangement Agreement, made an Acquisition Proposal or who were known by PACE to be considering making an Acquisition Proposal. Except as otherwise expressly permitted in the Arrangement Agreement, until completion of the Arrangement or the termination of the Arrangement Agreement, PACE may not allow or permit access to any data or information rooms regarding PACE except to GREKA and its representatives and advisors. PACE will not release any third party, in whole or in part, from any confidentiality or stand still agreement to which PACE and such third party are a party, and will immediately request the return or destruction of all information provided to any third parties who have entered into a confidentiality agreement with PACE relating to a potential Acquisition Proposal, and must use all reasonable efforts to ensure that such requests are honoured and to immediately advise GREKA of any responses or action (actual, anticipated, contemplated or threatened) by any recipient of such request which could hinder, prevent, delay or otherwise adversely affect the completion of the Arrangement.

PACE must notify GREKA promptly after receipt by it of any Acquisition Proposal, any request for non-public information relating to PACE or any of its Subsidiaries known by PACE to be in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, or any request for access to the properties, books or records of PACE or any Subsidiary by any person. Such notice to GREKA must be made orally and in writing, and must include details of the proposal, inquiry or contact as GREKA may reasonably request including the identity of the person making such proposal, inquiry or contact and must include a copy of any written form of Acquisition Proposal.

Except as expressly permitted in the Arrangement Agreement, PACE may not provide any material non-public information to any party in connection with any potential or actual Acquisition Proposal. However, in the event that the Board of Directors receives a request for material non-public information from a party who makes a Superior Proposal, PACE may, subject to the execution of a confidentiality agreement substantially similar to that then in effect between PACE and GREKA, provide such party with access to any information regarding PACE and its Subsidiaries, provided that PACE complies with its obligations to notify GREKA of such request and sends a copy of any such confidentiality agreement to GREKA upon its execution together with copies of any information provided to such person.

If, before the earlier of the Effective Time or termination of the Arrangement Agreement, PACE receives an Acquisition Proposal that the Board determines is a Superior Proposal, PACE must notify GREKA as soon as practicable and provide to GREKA a copy of the document evidencing such Superior Proposal. PACE may not approve or implement or enter into any agreement to approve or implement such Superior Proposal except concurrently with the termination of the Arrangement Agreement. PACE may not terminate the Arrangement Agreement in connection with a Superior Proposal unless: (i) PACE has complied with its non solicitation and notification obligations under the Arrangement Agreement; (ii) PACE has notified GREKA in writing that it intends to enter into a binding agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal subject to GREKA’s opportunity to match such proposal and attach the most current version of Superior Proposal to such notice; and (iii) GREKA has not made, within five business days after receipt of PACE’s written notice of the Superior Proposal, an offer that the Board has reasonably concluded in good faith (following consultation with its financial advisor and outside counsel) is as favourable to the Common Shareholders as such Superior Proposal.

Cure Provisions and Termination

Each of GREKA and PACE have agreed to give prompt notice to the other on the occurrence, or failure to occur, at any time until the Effective Date, of any event or state of facts which occurrence or failure would, or would be likely to cause any of the representations or warranties of it contained in the Arrangement Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material aspect at the Effective Date, or result in the failure to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it prior to the Effective Date.

Neither GREKA nor PACE may elect not to complete the Arrangement pursuant to the conditions precedent contained in the Arrangement Agreement or any termination right arising therefrom unless forthwith and in any event prior to the filing of the documents necessary to complete the Arrangement for acceptance by the Registrar, the party intending to rely thereon has delivered a written notice to the other party specifying in reasonable detail all breaches of covenants, representations and warranties or other matters which the party delivering such notice is asserting as the basis for the non-fulfillment of the applicable condition precedent or termination right, as the case may be.  If any such notice is delivered prior to the date of the Meeting, provided that the other party is proceeding diligently to cure such matter and such matter is capable of being cured, no party may terminate the Arrangement Agreement, such meeting will be postponed for a period not exceeding 21 days, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.  If such notice has been delivered prior to the making of the application for the Final Order or the filing of the Plan of Arrangement with the Registrar, such application and such filing will be postponed for a period not to exceed 21 days, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

The Arrangement Agreement may be terminated:

(a)

at any time:

(i)

by mutual written consent of PACE and GREKA; or

(ii)

in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement for failure to satisfy or waive any condition precedent, subject to the cure provisions of the Arrangement Agreement;

(b)

by GREKA by written notice to PACE if:

(i)

the Board of Directors withdraws or changes, in a manner adverse to GREKA, its approval, recommendation or support of the Arrangement;

(ii)

the Board of Directors has approved, recommended or voted in favour of any Acquisition Proposal other than the Arrangement;

(iii)

Warrantholders or Optionholders holding more than 10% of the Securities in the aggregate are dissenting; or

(iv)

there is a Material Adverse Change;

c)

by PACE by written notice to GREKA if PACE enters into any agreement in respect of a Superior Proposal, provided such proposal did not result from a breach of the Arrangement Agreement.

In the event of the termination of the Arrangement Agreement as permitted above, the Arrangement Agreement will forthwith cease to have further effect and neither GREKA nor PACE will have any further liability or obligation to the other.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing will relieve or have the effect of resulting in relieving either GREKA or PACE in any way from liability for damages incurred or suffered by the other as a result of a breach of the Arrangement Agreement by GREKA or PACE, as the case may be, or the acting in bad faith by GREKA or PACE, as the case may be, intended and designed to prevent the conditions precedent set out in the Arrangement Agreement from being satisfied.  

TSX Venture Exchange Approval

The Arrangement Agreement is subject to the approval of the TSX-V.

PROCEDURE FOR THE ARRANGEMENT TO BECOME EFFECTIVE

Procedural Steps

The Arrangement is proposed to be carried out pursuant to section 288 of the BCBCA. The following procedural steps must be taken in order for the Arrangement to become effective:

(a)

the Arrangement must be approved by at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by the Securityholders present in person or by proxy at the Meeting voting together as a single class (with each Common Shareholder entitled to one vote for each PACE Common Share held, each Optionholder entitled to one vote for each Option held and each Warrantholder entitled to one vote for each Warrant held) provided that 66 2/3% of the votes cast by Common Shareholders present in person or by proxy at the PACE Meeting approve the Arrangement;

(b)

the Court must grant the Final Order approving the Arrangement; and

(c)

all conditions precedent to the Arrangement, as set forth in the Arrangement Agreement, must be satisfied or waived by the appropriate party.

Securityholder Approval

Pursuant to the BCBCA, PACE’s Articles and the terms of the Interim Order, the Arrangement Resolution must, subject to further order of the Court, be approved by at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by the Securityholders present in person or by proxy at the Meeting voting together as a single class (with each Common Shareholder entitled to one vote for each PACE Common Share held, each Optionholder entitled to one vote for each Option held and each Warrantholder entitled to one vote for each Warrant held) provided that 66 2/3% of the votes cast by Common Shareholders present in person or by proxy at the PACE Meeting approve the Arrangement.

The determination of Securityholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting is to be made as at the close of business on the Record Date. Only Securityholders whose names have been entered in the applicable registers of Securityholders on the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting.  With respect to Common Shareholders, Common Shareholders of record will be entitled to vote those Common Shares included in the list of Common Shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting prepared as at the Record Date, unless any Common Shareholder transfers Common Shares after the Record Date and the transferee of those Common Shares, having produced properly endorsed certificates evidencing such Common Shares or having otherwise established that he owns such Common Shares, demands, at least 10 days before the Meeting, that the transferee’s name be included in the list of Common Shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting, in which case such transferee shall be entitled to vote such Common Shares at the Meeting.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Arrangement Resolution authorizes the Board of Directors, without further notice to or approval of the Securityholders, subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, to amend the Arrangement Agreement, to decide not to proceed with the Arrangement and to revoke such Arrangement Resolution at any time prior to the Arrangement becoming effective pursuant to the provisions of the BCBCA; provided, however, that no such amendment may change the provisions thereof regarding the amount and timing of the consideration to be received by the Common Shareholder, without approval of such Common Shareholders.  See Appendix “C” to this Information Circular for the full text of the Arrangement Resolution.

Unless otherwise specified by the Securityholder executing such proxy, the persons named as proxies in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote the Securities represented by such proxy FOR the Arrangement Resolution.

On May 29, 2008, PACE obtained the Interim Order providing for the calling and holding of the Meeting and other procedural matters. The Interim Order is attached as Appendix “A” to this Information Circular.

Subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, if the Arrangement Resolution is approved at the Meeting, PACE will make application to the Court for the Final Order at British Columbia Supreme Court at 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6Z 2E1 on July 3, 2008 at 2:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) or as soon thereafter as counsel may be heard.  The Notice of Petition for the Final Order accompanies this Information Circular. Any Securityholder or any other interested party desiring to appear at the hearing is required to file with the Court and serve upon PACE, on or before 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on June 30, 2008, a notice of its intention to appear, including an address for service in Vancouver, British Columbia (or alternatively, a telecopier number for service by telecopy), together with any evidence or materials which are to be presented to the Court. Service on PACE is to be effected by delivery to the solicitors for PACE at Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, Suite 2600, Three Bentall Centre, 595 Burrard Street, P.O. Box 49314, Vancouver, British Columbia, V7X 1L3, telecopy: (604) 631-3309, Attention: Sean Boyle.

PACE has been advised by its counsel that the Court has broad discretion under the BCBCA when making orders with respect to the Arrangement and that the Court, in hearing the application for the Final Order, will consider, among other things, the fairness of the Arrangement to the Common Shareholders and any other interested party as the Court determines appropriate. The Court may approve the Arrangement either as proposed or as amended in any manner the Court may direct, subject to compliance with such terms and conditions, if any, as the Court may determine appropriate. Either PACE or GREKA may determine not to proceed with the Arrangement in the event that any amendment ordered by the Court is not satisfactory to it, acting reasonably.

The Notice of Application for the Final Order is attached as Appendix “B” to this Information Circular.

Governmental and Regulatory Approvals

The Arrangement Agreement provides that receipt of all governmental and regulatory approvals, including, without limitation, approval of the appropriate Governmental Entities in the PRC required to keep the PSC’s and licenses of PACE in good standing notwithstanding the Arrangement, is a condition precedent to the Arrangement becoming effective.  PACE is not aware of any material regulatory approvals that have not yet been obtained which would prevent PACE, GREKA and Acquisitionco from completing the Arrangement.

Judicial Developments

The Plan of Arrangement will be implemented pursuant to section 288 of the BCBCA, which provides that a corporation may apply to the Court for an order approving the arrangement proposed by such corporation. Pursuant to this section of the BCBCA, such an application will be made by PACE for approval of the Arrangement. See “Procedure for the Arrangement to Become Effective – Court Approval” above. Although there have been a number of judicial decisions concerning this section and applications to various arrangements, there have not been, to the knowledge of PACE, any recent significant decisions which would apply in this instance.  Securityholders should consult their legal advisors with respect to the legal rights available to them in relation to the Arrangement.

Timing

If the Meeting is held and the Arrangement Resolution is approved by Common Shareholders as required by the Interim Order, PACE will apply to the Court for the Final Order approving the Arrangement. If the Final Order is obtained on July 3, 2008, in form and substance satisfactory to PACE and GREKA, and all other conditions specified in the Arrangement Agreement are satisfied or waived, PACE and GREKA expect the Effective Date will be July 3, 2008 or as soon as possible thereafter upon the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.  

The Effective Date could be delayed, however, for a number of reasons, including an objection before the Court in the hearing of the application for the Final Order.

PROCEDURE FOR EXCHANGE OF COMMON SHARE CERTIFICATES

Common Shares

From and after the Effective Time, certificates formerly representing Common Shares shall represent only the right to receive the cash consideration, without interest, to which the Common Shareholders are entitled to pursuant to the Arrangement.  In order to receive payment of the cash to which they are entitled pursuant to the Arrangement, registered Common Shareholders must complete and return the Letter of Transmittal, together with the certificate(s) representing their Common Shares, as applicable, to the Depositary at one of the offices specified in the Letter of Transmittal.  

Common Shareholders whose Common Shares are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or other nominee should not submit a Letter of Transmittal.  Instead, such persons should contact the broker, dealer, bank, trust company or other nominee, as applicable, to give instructions for the deposit of their Common Shares and determine the process for obtaining payment.  

If any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented an interest in outstanding Common Shares has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary will issue and deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate the consideration to which the holder is entitled pursuant to the Arrangement as determined in accordance with the Arrangement.  The person who is entitled to receive such consideration must, as a condition precedent to the receipt thereof, give a bond to the Depositary and Acquisitionco or must otherwise indemnify the Depositary and Acquisitionco against any claim that may be made against it with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

The use of the mail to transmit certificates representing Common Shares and the Letter of Transmittal is at each holder's risk.  PACE recommends that such certificates and documents be delivered by hand to the Depositary and a receipt therefor be obtained or that registered mail with return receipt be used and that appropriate insurance be obtained.

Except as otherwise provided by the instructions in the Letter of Transmittal, all signatures on (i) the Letter of Transmittal and (ii) certificates representing Common Shares must be guaranteed by an “Eligible Institution” as set forth in the Letter of Transmittal.  If a Letter of Transmittal is executed by a person other than the registered holder of the certificate(s) deposited therewith, the certificate(s) must be endorsed or be accompanied by an appropriate securities transfer power of attorney duly and properly completed by the registered holder, with the signature on the endorsement panel, or securities transfer power of attorney guaranteed by the Eligible Institution.

All questions as to validity, form, eligibility (including timely receipt) and acceptance of any Common Shares deposited pursuant to the Arrangement will be determined by Acquisitionco in its sole discretion. Depositing Common Shareholders agree that such determination will be final and binding.  Acquisitionco reserves the absolute right to reject any and all deposits which it determines not to be in proper form or which may be unlawful for it to accept under the laws of any jurisdiction.  Acquisitionco reserves the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity in the deposit of any Common Shares.  There will be no duty or obligation on the Purchaser, the Depositary or any other person to give notice of any defect or irregularity in any deposit of Common Shares and no liability shall be incurred by any of them for failure to give such notice.

PACE and GREKA reserve the right to permit the procedure for the exchange of securities pursuant to the Arrangement to be completed other than that as set out above.  Under no circumstances will interest accrue or be paid by PACE, GREKA, Acquisitionco or the Depositary to persons depositing Common Shares on the cash payable in consideration for such securities, regardless of any delay in making such payment.  

The Depositary will act as the agent of persons who have deposited Common Shares pursuant to the Arrangement for the purpose of receiving payment from Acquisitionco and transmitting such payment to such persons, and receipt of payment by the Depositary will be deemed to constitute receipt of payment by persons depositing Common Shares.  Settlement with persons who deposit Common Shares will be effected by the Depositary forwarding a cheque for the net cash consideration to which such person is entitled under the Arrangement for such Common Shares to such person by first class insured mail, postage prepaid.  

Unless otherwise directed in the Letter of Transmittal, the cheque to be issued in consideration for the Common Shares deposited under the Arrangement will be issued in the name of the registered holder of the Common Shares so deposited.  Unless the person who deposits the Common Shares instructs the Depositary to hold the cheque for pick-up by checking the appropriate box in the Letter of Transmittal, the cheque will be forwarded by first class mail to the address supplied in the Letter of Transmittal.  If no address is provided, cheques will be forwarded to the address of the person as shown on the applicable register of PACE.

Return of Certificates if Arrangement Not Completed

Should the Arrangement not be completed, any deposited Common Shares will be returned to the depositing holders at PACE’s expense upon written notice to the Depositary from PACE by returning the deposited Common Shares (and any other relevant documents) by first class insured mail in the name of and to the address specified by the depositing holder in the Letter of Transmittal or, if such name and address is not so specified, in such name and to such address as shown on the applicable register maintained by PACE.

Mail Services Interruption

Notwithstanding the provisions of the Information Circular, Letter of Transmittal, Arrangement Agreement or Plan of Arrangement, cheques representing the cash consideration to which Common Shareholders are entitled to pursuant to the Arrangement will not be mailed in the event that PACE and Acquisitionco determine that delivery thereof by mail may be delayed.  Persons entitled to cheques and other relevant documents which are not mailed for the foregoing reason may take delivery thereof at the office of the Depositary at which the deposited certificates representing the Common Shares in respect of which such cheques are being issued were originally deposited upon application to the Depositary until such time as PACE and Acquisitionco have determined that delivery by mail will no longer be delayed.  Cheques and other relevant documents not mailed for the foregoing reason will be conclusively deemed to have been delivered on the first day upon which they are available for delivery at the office of the Depositary at which the Common Shares were deposited and payment for those Common Shares shall be deemed to have been immediately made upon such deposit.

Cancellation of Rights

Subject to applicable laws relating to forfeiture, any certificate formerly representing Common Shares that is not deposited with all other documents required by the Plan of Arrangement on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date shall cease to represent the right or claim of any kind or nature to receive the consideration to which a former Common Shareholder is entitled under the Arrangement.

LOCK-UP AGREEMENT

Certain directors and officers of PACE have entered into the Lock-Up Agreement with GREKA pursuant to which they have agreed to vote an aggregate of 10,175,666 Common Shares (11% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of signing) in favour of the Arrangement and to otherwise support the Arrangement.  The Lock-Up Agreement provides that the directors and officers of PACE may not sell, transfer, option, grant any right or interest in, dispose of or otherwise convey any of the Common Shares owned or controlled by them until such time as the Lock-up Agreement is terminated.  The directors and officers of PACE are entitled to terminate the Lock-up Agreement, withdraw the Common Shares from the Arrangement Agreement and not vote the Common Shares held or controlled by them in favour of the Arrangement if (i) any representation of GREKA in the Lock-up Agreement is untrue or incorrect in any material respect at any time prior to the Effective Time or (ii) GREKA fails to complete the purchase of the Common Shares subject to the Lock-up Agreement, provided that at the time of such termination by the directors and officers, the directors and officers are not in material default in the performance of their obligations under the Lock-up Agreement.

INTERESTS OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS OF PACE IN THE ARRANGEMENT

As at May 29, 2008, the directors and officers of PACE, as a group, owned or controlled 23,175,666 Common Shares, representing approximately 25% of the outstanding Common Shares, and held 3,100,000 Options.  As at May 29, 2008, the directors and officers did not hold any Warrants.  In connection with the Arrangement, directors and officers holding an aggregate of 10,175,666 Common Shares and 2,300,000 Options have entered into the Lock-Up Agreement with GREKA.  Taking into account their holdings of Options, on a fully diluted basis, the directors and officers of PACE who entered into the Lock-up Agreement held 12,475,666 Common Shares or 13.2% of the fully diluted number of Common Shares.  See “Procedure for the Arrangement to Become Effective – Securityholder Approval” and “Lock-Up Agreement”.

Other than as described above and elsewhere in this Information Circular, to the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of PACE, there are no material interests of any director or executive officer of PACE or anyone who held office as such since the commencement of the last completed financial year of PACE or of any associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing in the Arrangement.

INTERESTS OF EXPERTS

Certain legal matters relating to the Arrangement will be passed upon by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP on behalf of PACE and by Owen Bird Law Corporation on behalf of GREKA.  As at the date hereof, the partners and associates of each of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP and Owen Bird Law Corporation as a group, own, directly or indirectly, less than 1% of the Common Shares.  

RIGHTS OF DISSENT

The following description of the Dissent Rights of Dissenting Securityholders is not a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by a Dissenting Securityholder who seeks payment of the fair value of such Securities and is qualified in its entirety by the reference to the full text of the Interim Order and Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA which are attached to this Information Circular as Appendices “A” and “E”, respectively.  A Dissenting Securityholder who intends to exercise the Dissent Rights should carefully consider and comply with the provisions of Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Interim Order.  Failure to comply strictly with the provisions of the BCBCA, as modified by the Interim Order, and to adhere to the procedures established therein may result in the loss of all rights thereunder.

The Court hearing the application for the Final Order has the discretion to alter the Dissent Rights described herein based on the evidence presented at such hearing.

Pursuant to the Interim Order, each Securityholder may exercise Dissent Rights under Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA as modified by the Interim Order or the Final Order in respect of the Arrangement.  Securityholders who duly exercise such Dissent Rights and who:

(a)

are ultimately determined to be entitled to be paid fair value for the Securities in respect of which they have exercised Dissent Rights will be deemed to have irrevocably transferred such Securities to Acquisitionco pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement in consideration of such fair value; or

(b)

are ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for the Securities in respect of which they have exercised Dissent Rights will be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as a Securityholder that has not exercised Dissent Rights, as at and from the time specified in the Arrangement Agreement for the consideration set forth therein;

but in no case will GREKA, Acquisitionco, PACE or any other person be required to recognize such holders as Common Shareholders after the cancellation of the Options and Warrants, which cancellation is to occur at the Effective Time, and each Dissenting Securityholder will cease to be entitled to the rights of a Securityholder in respect of the Securities in relation to which such Dissenting Securityholder has exercised Dissent Rights and the central securities register will be amended to reflect that such former holder is no longer the holder of such Securities as and from the Effective Time.

Persons who are beneficial Common Shareholders who wish to dissent with respect to their Common Shares should be aware that only the registered Common Shareholders of such Common Shares are entitled to dissent with respect to them.  A registered Common Shareholder such as an intermediary who holds Common Shares as nominee for beneficial Common Shareholders, some of whom wish to dissent, must exercise Dissent Rights on behalf of such beneficial Common Shareholders with respect to the Common Shares held for such beneficial Common Shareholders.  In such case, the Notice of Dissent (as defined below) should set forth the number of Common Shares it covers.  

A Dissenting Securityholder who wishes to dissent must send a written dissent notice (the “Notice of Dissent”) objecting to the Arrangement Resolution to PACE c/o Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, Suite 2600, Three Bentall Centre, 595 Burrard Street, P.O. Box 49314, Vancouver, British Columbia, V7X 1L3, Attention:  Sarah Pybus, by 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver Time) two business days prior to the Meeting.  The Notice of Dissent must set out the number and type of Securities held by the Dissenting Securityholder.

The delivery of a Notice of Dissent does not deprive such Dissenting Securityholder of its right to vote at the Meeting.  A vote against the Arrangement Resolution, whether in person or by proxy, does not constitute a Notice of Dissent.  Similarly, the revocation of a proxy conferring authority on the proxy holder to vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution does not constitute a Notice of Dissent in respect of the Arrangement Resolution, but any such proxy granted by a Securityholder who intends to dissent should be validly revoked (see “General Proxy Matters – Appointment and Revocation of Proxies”) in order to prevent the proxy holder from voting such Securities in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.  A vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution, whether in person of by proxy, may constitute a waiver of a Securityholder’s right to dissent.  However, a Securityholder may vote as a proxy holder for another Securityholder whose proxy required an affirmative vote, without affecting the right of the proxy holder to exercise Dissent Rights.

If the Arrangement Resolution is passed at the Meeting, PACE is required to notify in writing each Dissenting Securityholder, prior to the date set fro the hearing of the Final Order, a notice (“Notice of Intention”) stating that, subject to receipt of the Final Order and satisfaction of the other conditions set out in the Arrangement Agreement, PACE intends to complete the Arrangement, and advising the Dissenting Securityholder that if the Dissenting Securityholder intends to proceed with the exercise of its Dissent Rights, it must deliver to PACE, within one month of the mailing of the Notice of Intention, a written statement containing the information specified in the Interim Order together with any certificates representing Dissenting Securities.  If a Dissent Right is being exercise by someone other than the beneficial owner of Common Shares, this written statement must be signed by such beneficial owner.

A Dissenting Securityholder delivering such written statement may not withdraw from its dissent and, in the case of Dissenting Common Shareholders, will be deemed to have transferred to Acquisitionco all of its Dissenting Common Shares at the Effective Time.  PACE will pay to each Dissenting Securityholder the fair market value for the Dissenting Securities, as agreed between PACE and the Dissenting Securityholder for the Dissenting Securities.  Either PACE or a Dissenting Securityholder may apply to the Court if no agreement on the terms of the sale of Dissenting Securities has been reached, and the Court may:

(a)

determine the fair value that the Dissenting Securities had immediately before the passing of the Arrangement Resolution, excluding any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the Arrangement unless exclusion would be inequitable, or order that such value be established by arbitration or by reference to the registrar, or a referee of the Court;

(b)

join in the application each Dissenting Securityholder who has not agreed with PACE on the amount of the payout value of the Dissenting Common Shares; and

(c)

make consequential orders and give directions as it considers appropriate.

If a Dissenting Securityholder fails to strictly comply with the requirements of the Dissent Rights set out in the Interim Order, it will lose its Dissent Rights, the Company will return to the Dissenting Securityholder the certificates representing the Dissenting Securities that were delivered to PACE, if any, and if the Arrangement is completed, that Dissenting Securityholder will be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same terms as a Securityholder.

If a Dissenting Shareholder strictly complies with the foregoing requirements of the Dissent Rights, but the Arrangement is not completed, PACE will return to the Dissenting Securityholder the certificates delivered to PACE, if any.

Securityholders should consult their legal advisors with respect to the legal rights available to them in relation to the Arrangement and the Dissent Rights.

CERTAIN TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR SECURITYHOLDERS

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

In the opinion of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, Canadian counsel to PACE, the following summary fairly describes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a Securityholder who, for the purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times, (i) holds the Common Shares, Options or Warrants as the case may be, as capital property, (ii) deals at arm’s length with PACE and GREKA, (iii) is not affiliated with PACE or GREKA, and (iv) does not use or hold the Common Shares, Options or Warrants, as the case may be, in carrying on a business in Canada or acquired Common Shares, Options or Warrants in a transaction or transactions considered to be an adventure in the nature of trade.

This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Tax Act, the Tax Regulations thereunder and counsel’s understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the CRA made publicly available prior to the date hereof. This summary also takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act and the Tax Regulations publicly announced by or on behalf of the federal Minister of Finance prior to the date hereof and assumes that all Proposed Amendments will be enacted in their present form.  However, no assurances can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted in their present form, or at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law or administrative policies or assessing practices, whether by legislative, regulatory, administrative or judicial action or decision, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign tax legislation or considerations, which may be different from those discussed in this summary.

This summary assumes that the Common Shares will be listed on the TSX-V at the time that the Common Shares are acquired by GREKA under the Arrangement. No advance income tax ruling has been sought or obtained from CRA with respect to any of the transactions forming part of the Arrangement.

THIS SUMMARY IS NOT APPLICABLE TO A SECURITYHOLDER THAT IS A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION (AS DEFINED IN THE TAX ACT FOR PURPOSES OF THE MARK-TO-MARKET RULES IN THE TAX ACT), A “SPECIFIED FINANCIAL INSTITUTION,” A SECURITYHOLDER AN INTEREST IN WHICH IS A “TAX SHELTER INVESTMENT” OR A SECURITYHOLDER WHO HAS ELECTED TO HAVE THE “FUNCTIONAL CURRENCY” REPORTING RULES APPLY TO IT, ALL AS DEFINED IN THE TAX ACT. SUCH SECURITYHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN ADVISORS.

THIS SUMMARY IS OF A GENERAL NATURE ONLY AND IS NOT, AND IS NOT INTENDED TO BE, LEGAL OR TAX ADVICE TO ANY PARTICULAR SECURITYHOLDER. THIS SUMMARY IS NOT EXHAUSTIVE OF ALL POSSIBLE CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS. ACCORDINGLY, SECURITYHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE CANADIAN INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ARRANGEMENT TO THEM HAVING REGARD TO THEIR OWN PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Currency Translation

All amounts relevant to the computation of income under the Tax Act, including amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of Common Shares, Options or Warrants, must be reported in Canadian dollars.  Any amount that is expressed or denominated in a currency other than Canadian dollars, including adjusted cost base and proceeds of disposition, must be converted into Canadian dollars based on the currency exchange rate prevailing on the date each such amount arises.

Shareholders Resident in Canada

The following portion of this summary is generally applicable to a Common Shareholder who is, or is deemed to be, a resident of Canada for purposes of the Tax Act (a “Resident Shareholder”) at all relevant times.  Certain Resident Shareholders who might not otherwise be considered to hold their Common Shares as capital property may be entitled to obtain such treatment by making an irrevocable election in accordance with subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act to deem the Common Shares and any other Canadian security (as defined in the Tax Act) owned by the Resident Shareholder in the taxation year in which the election is made, and all subsequent taxation years, to be capital property.  Such Shareholders should first consult their own tax advisors for advice with respect to whether an election under subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act is advisable in their particular circumstances as the making of such election will affect the income tax treatment of their other Canadian securities.

Disposition of Common Shares

A Resident Shareholder who disposes of Common Shares under the Arrangement will realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the cash received by the Resident Shareholder under the Arrangement exceeds (or is less than) the aggregate of the adjusted cost base of the Common Shares to the Resident Shareholder and any reasonable costs of disposition. The tax treatment of capital gains and capital losses is discussed below under the heading “Capital Gains and Capital Losses”.

The amount of any capital loss realized by a Resident Shareholder that is a corporation on the disposition of a Common Share may be reduced by the amount of any dividends received (or deemed to be received) by it on such Common Share to the extent and under circumstances specified by the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where the corporation is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owns Common Shares or where a partnership or trust of which a corporation is a member or a beneficiary is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owns Common Shares. Resident Shareholders to whom these rules may apply should consult their own tax advisors.

Capital Gains and Capital Losses

One-half of any capital gain (a “taxable capital gain”) realized by a Resident Shareholder in a taxation year will be included in the Resident Shareholder’s income for the year. One-half of any capital loss (an “allowable capital loss”) realized by a Resident Shareholder in a taxation year may be deducted against taxable capital gains realized in the year. Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains realized in a taxation year may be carried back up to three taxation years or carried forward indefinitely and deducted against net taxable capital gains realized in those other years, to the extent and in the circumstances specified in the Tax Act.

A Resident Shareholder that is throughout the year a “Canadian-controlled private corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act) may be liable for a refundable tax of 6 2/3% on its “aggregate investment income,” which is defined in the Tax Act to include an amount in respect of taxable capital gains.

Capital gains realized by an individual or a trust, other than certain trusts, may give rise to alternative minimum tax under the Tax Act. Resident Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the alternative minimum tax provisions.

Dissenting Shareholders

A Resident Shareholder who, consequent upon the exercise of Dissent Rights, disposes of Common Shares in consideration for a fair value payment from Acquisitionco (a “Resident Dissenting Shareholders”) will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount by which the payment received by the holder (other than in respect of interest awarded by a court) exceeds (or is less than) the aggregate of the adjusted cost base of such Common Shares to the holder and any reasonable costs of disposition. A capital gain or capital loss realized by a Resident Dissenting Shareholder will be treated in the same manner as described above under the headings “Disposition of Common Shares” and “Capital Gains and Capital Losses”.

Interest awarded by a court to a Resident Dissenting Shareholder will be included in the holder’s income for purposes of the Tax Act. Resident Dissenting Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors.

Shareholders Not Resident in Canada

The following portion of this summary is applicable to a Common Shareholder who, at all relevant times, is not a resident of Canada, and is not deemed to be a resident of Canada, for purposes of the Tax Act (a “Non-Resident Shareholder”). Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a Non-Resident Shareholder that is an insurer carrying on a business in Canada and elsewhere. Such Non-Resident Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors.

Disposition of Common Shares

A Non-Resident Shareholder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on any capital gain realized on the disposition of Common Shares under the Arrangement unless the Common Shares are “taxable Canadian property” (within the meaning of the Tax Act) to the Non-Resident Shareholder at the time of the disposition and such gain is not otherwise exempt from tax pursuant to the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.  

Generally, Common Shares will not be taxable Canadian property to a Non-Resident Shareholder at the time of disposition under the Arrangement provided that (i) the Common Shares are listed on a prescribed stock exchange (which includes the TSX-V) at that time, (ii) neither the Non-Resident Shareholder, persons with whom the Non- Resident Shareholder does not deal at arm’s length, nor the Non-Resident Shareholder together with all such persons, has owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of a class of the capital stock of PACE at any time during the 60-month period preceding that time, and (iii) the Common Shares were not acquired in a transaction as a result of which the Common Shares were deemed to be taxable Canadian property of the Non- Resident Shareholder.

Even if Common Shares are considered to be taxable Canadian property of a Non-Resident Shareholder at the time of disposition under the Arrangement, the Non-Resident Shareholder may be exempt from tax pursuant to the terms of any applicable income tax treaty. Non-Resident Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the availability of any relief under the terms of any applicable income tax treaty in their particular circumstances.

In the event that the Common Shares constitute taxable Canadian property to a Non-Resident Shareholder and any capital gain realized by the Non-Resident Shareholder on the disposition of the Common Shares under the Arrangement is not exempt from tax under the Tax Act by virtue of an applicable income tax treaty, then the tax consequences described above under the heading “Shareholders Resident in Canada” will generally apply.

A Non-Resident Shareholder disposing of taxable Canadian property must file a Canadian tax return reporting such disposition and pay any requisite Canadian tax thereon or, where relief under an income tax treaty is available, assert a claim for such relief in the return.

Reporting and withholding obligations apply under section 116 of the Tax Act when a person who is not resident in Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act disposes of taxable Canadian property, other than excluded property. Excluded property for the purposes of the Tax Act includes shares of a class of shares of a corporation if the class of shares is listed on a recognized stock exchange (which includes the TSX-V). Accordingly, these reporting and withholding obligations will not apply to the disposition of the Common Shares at a particular time if the Common Shares are listed on a recognized stock exchange at that time. Non-Resident Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the filing requirements in their particular circumstances.

Dissenting Shareholders

A Non-Resident Shareholder who consequent upon the exercise of Dissent Rights, disposes of Common Shares in consideration for a fair market payment from Acquisitionco (a “Non-Resident Dissenting Shareholder”) will realize a capital gain or capital loss which is treated in a manner which is similar to that of a Non-Resident Shareholder who participates in the Arrangement. See the above discussion under the heading “Shareholders Not Resident in Canada – Disposition of Common Shares”.

The amount of any interest awarded by a court to a Non-Resident Dissenting Shareholder will generally not be subject to Canadian withholding tax.

Shareholders Who Acquired Common Shares on the Exercise of Options

A Common Shareholder who previously acquired Common Shares on the exercise of an Option and deferred a resulting Option Benefit arising in the year of exercise in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act will have to include the amount of such deferred Option Benefit in his or her income for the taxation year in which the holder disposes of his or her Common Shares under the Arrangement. The Option Benefit is taxed as employment income and not as a capital gain. A Shareholder for whom an Option Benefit arises may be eligible to claim a deduction equal to 50% of the benefit. The amount of the Option Benefit included in the Shareholder’s income (without taking into account the 50% deduction, if available) will be added to the adjusted cost base of such holder’s Common Shares and, accordingly, will reduce any capital gain realized on the disposition of such shares by a corresponding amount.

Optionholders and Warrantholders Resident in Canada

The following portion of the summary is generally applicable to an Optionholder or a Warrantholder who is, or is deemed to be, a resident, of Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act.

An Optionholder who is an Eligible Employee whose Options are cancelled pursuant to the Arrangement will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act.

An Optionholder who is not an Eligible Employee or a Warrantholder whose Options or Warrants are cancelled under the Arrangement will realize a capital loss equal to the aggregate of the adjusted cost base of the Options or Warrants to the Optionholder or Warrantholder and any reasonable costs of disposition. A capital loss realized by such an Optionholder or Warrantholder on the disposition of Options or Warrants will be treated in a manner which is similar to the realization of a capital loss by a Resident Shareholder on the disposition of Common Shares, as described above under the heading “Capital Gains and Capital Losses”.

Optionholders and Warrantholders Not Resident in Canada

The following portion of the summary is generally applicable to an Optionholder or a Warrantholder who, at all relevant times, is not nor is deemed to be a resident of Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act and for whom the Options or Warrants are not “taxable Canadian property” (as defined in the Tax Act) at the time that they are disposed of. Generally, Options and Warrants will not be taxable Canadian property to a holder provided that the Common Shares are listed on a prescribed stock exchange (which includes the TSX-V) and the holder, either alone or together with persons with whom the holder does not deal at arm’s length, has not owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of a class of capital stock of PACE, at any time within the 60-month period immediately preceding the time of disposition.

An Optionholder who is not an Eligible Employee or a Warrantholder whose Options or Warrants are cancelled under the Arrangement will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act.

NOTICE TO NON-CANADIAN SECURITY HOLDERS

It is strongly recommended that all non-resident Securityholders consult their own legal and tax advisors with respect to the income tax consequences applicable in their place of residency of the disposition of their Common Shares and/or the cancellation of their Options and Warrants, as applicable.

RISK FACTORS

The following risk factors should be considered by Securityholders in evaluating whether to approve the Arrangement. These risk factors should be considered in conjunction with the other information included in this Information Circular and the risk factors disclosed in PACE’s MD&A for PACE’s year ended February 28, 2007.

Risks of Not Proceeding with the Arrangement

Risks to which the Corporation may be subject to in the event that the Arrangement is not completed include:

PACE will continue to face all of the existing operational and financial risks of its business as described in the MD&A and herein;

the price of the Common Shares may decline to the extent that the relevant current market price of the Common Shares reflects a market assumption that the Arrangement will be completed;

certain costs related to the Arrangement, such as legal, accounting and certain financial advisor fees incurred by PACE, must be paid by PACE even if the Arrangement is not completed, as well as the diversion of management attention away from the conduct of PACE’s business in the ordinary course; and

if the Arrangement is terminated and the Board of Directors decides to seek another merger or business combination, there can be no assurance that it will be able to find a party willing to pay an equivalent or more attractive price that the consideration to be received pursuant to the Arrangement.

Risks of Proceeding with the Arrangement

Following completion of the Arrangement, PACE will no longer exist as an independent public company and Securityholders will not participate in any future earnings or growth of PACE.

GENERAL PROXY MATTERS

Solicitation of Proxies

This Information Circular is provided in connection with the solicitation of proxies by management of PACE for use at the Meeting for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting. In addition to solicitation by mail, proxies may be solicited by personal interviews, telephone or other means of communication and by directors, officers and employees of PACE who will not be specifically remunerated therefor.

The Meeting is being called pursuant to the Interim Order to seek the requisite approval of Securityholders to the Arrangement in accordance with section 288 of the BCBCA.

Appointment and Revocation of Proxies

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are directors or officers of PACE.  A Securityholder has the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Securityholder) other than the persons designated in the form of proxy provided by PACE to represent the Securityholder at the Meeting. To exercise this right, the Securityholder should strike out the name of the management designees in the enclosed form of proxy and insert the name of the desired representative in the blank space provided in the form of proxy or submit another appropriate form of proxy. In order to be effective, a proxy must be forwarded so as to reach, or be deposited with, Pacific Corporate Trust Company, 510 Burrard Street, 2nd Floor, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3B9, no later than 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on June 30, 2008 or two business days prior to any adjournment of the Meeting. The proxy must be in writing and executed by the Securityholder, or such Securityholder’s attorney authorized in writing, or if such Securityholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by a duly authorized officer or attorney.

A Securityholder who has given a proxy may revoke it by an instrument in writing executed by the Securityholder or by the Securityholder’s attorney authorized in writing or, if the Securityholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the corporation, and delivered either to PACE c/o Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, Suite 2600, Three Bentall Centre, 595 Burrard Street, P.O. Box 49314, Vancouver , British Columbia, V7X 1L3, Attention:  Sarah Pybus, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or any adjournment of it or to the chair of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment of it.   Only registered Securityholders have the right to revoke a proxy.  Non-registered holders who wish to change their vote must, at least seven days before the Meeting, arrange for their respective intermediaries to revoke the proxy on their behalf.

Proxy Voting

All Securities represented at the Meeting by properly completed and executed proxies will be voted on any ballot that may be called for and, where a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon has been specified in the proxy, Securities represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with such instructions. In the absence of any such instruction, the persons whose names appear on the applicable printed forms of proxy will vote in favour of all the matters set out thereon. If any other business or amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting properly come before the Meeting, then discretionary authority is conferred upon the persons appointed in the proxy to vote in the manner they see fit.

Record Date

The determination of Securityholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting is to be made as at the close of business on May 29, 2008 (the “Record Date”). Only Securityholders whose names have been entered in the applicable registers of Securityholders on the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting.  With respect to Common Shareholders, Common Shareholders of record will be entitled to vote those Common Shares included in the list of Common Shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting prepared as at the Record Date, unless any Common Shareholder transfers Common Shares after the Record Date and the transferee of those Common Shares, having produced properly endorsed certificates evidencing such Common Shares or having otherwise established that he owns such Common Shares, demands, at least 10 days before the Meeting, that the transferee’s name be included in the list of Common Shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting, in which case such transferee shall be entitled to vote such Common Shares at the Meeting.

Advice to Beneficial Holders of Common Shares

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many Common Shareholders, as a substantial number of Common Shareholders do not hold Common Shares in their own names. Common Shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own names (“Beneficial Common Shareholders”) should note that only proxies deposited by Common Shareholders whose names appear on the records of PACE as the registered holders of Common Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Common Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in the Common Shareholder’s name on the records of PACE. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Common Shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the majority of such Common Shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depositary for Securities, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common Shares held by brokers or their agents or nominees can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the Beneficial Common Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers and their agents and nominees are prohibited from voting Common Shares for the broker’s clients. The directors and officers of PACE do not know for whose benefit the Common Shares registered in the name of CDS & Co. or of other brokers/agents are held. Therefore, Beneficial Common Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Common Shares are communicated to the appropriate person.

Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Common Shareholders in advance of Common Shareholders’ meetings. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Common Shareholders in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. The form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Common Shareholder by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is similar to the form of proxy provided to registered Common Shareholders by PACE. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered Common Shareholder (the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Common Shareholder. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Investor Communications (“Broadridge”). Broadridge typically mails a scannable voting instruction form instead of the form of proxy. The Beneficial Common Shareholder is asked to complete the voting instruction form and return it to Broadridge by mail or facsimile. Alternatively, the Beneficial Common Shareholder may call a toll-free number to vote the Common Shares held by the Beneficial Common Shareholder. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the applicable meeting. A Beneficial Common Shareholder receiving a voting instruction form cannot use that voting instruction form to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting as the voting instruction form must be returned as directed by Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted.

Although a Beneficial Common Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of his broker (or agent of the broker), a Beneficial Common Shareholder may attend at the Meeting as proxyholder for the registered Common Shareholder and vote the Common Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Common Shareholders who wish to attend at the Meeting and indirectly vote their Common Shares as proxyholders for registered Common Shareholders should enter their own names in the blank spaces on the instruments of proxy provided to them and return the same to their brokers (or the brokers’ agents) in accordance with the instructions provided by such brokers (or agents), well in advance of the Meeting.

Pacific Asia China Energy Inc.

Kelowna, BC V1Y 9Y2

Attention: The Board of Directors of Pacific Asia China Energy Inc.

Re:

Fairness Opinion Pertaining to the Proposed Acquisition of
Pacific Asia China Energy Inc. by GREKA China Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Green Dragon Gas Ltd.

Dear Sirs:

Haywood Securities Inc. (“us”, “we” or "Haywood”) understands that Pacific Asia China Energy Inc. (“PACE” or the “Company”) and GREKA China Ltd. (“GREKA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Green Dragon Gas Ltd. (“Green Dragon”), have entered into an Arrangement Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of March 27, 2008, as amended May 19, 2008, pursuant to which GREKA has agreed to acquire, pursuant to a statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Arrangement”), all of the common shares of PACE (“Common Shares”) for the cash consideration of CDN $0.35 per share (as opposed to CDN $0.38 per share (the “Original Price”) as originally agreed upon in the Agreement as of March 27, 2008), representing aggregate cash consideration of approximately CDN $32.4 million (the “Transaction”). The revised cash consideration for the Common Shares reflects PACE liabilities (existing and potential) uncovered during the due diligence process conducted by GREKA that were not considered in the Original Price agreed upon by GREKA and PACE. We also understand that certain officers and directors of PACE holding approximately 11% of the outstanding Common Shares have entered into a lock-up agreement with GREKA pursuant to which they have agreed to vote the Common Shares held by them in favour of the Arrangement.

Under the terms of the Agreement, GREKA's obligation to complete the Arrangement is subject to a number of customary conditions, including the receipt of all required securityholder and regulatory approvals. The Arrangement must be approved by at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by the securityholders of PACE present in person or by proxy at a special meeting held to consider and, if deemed advisable, approve the Arrangement, with holders of Common Shares (“Shareholders”) and holders of options and warrants to acquire Common Shares voting together as a single class (each Shareholder is entitled to one vote for each Common Share held, each holder of options is entitled to one vote for each option held and each holder of warrants is

entitled to one vote for each warrant held), provided that 66 2/3% of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or by proxy at the special meeting approve the Arrangement. The Agreement also requires that PACE cease all solicitation discussions and negotiations with any other parties with respect to any takeover proposals and provides GREKA with the right to match any proposal that is tendered, should a superior proposal be received by PACE.

To assist the Board of Directors of PACE (the “Board”) in considering the terms of the Agreement, and the making of their recommendations in respect thereof, the Board engaged Haywood to provide the Board with an opinion (the “Fairness Opinion”) as to whether the consideration to be received by the Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders.

ENGAGEMENT OF HAYWOOD

Haywood was formally engaged on February 21, 2008 pursuant to an agreement (the “Engagement Agreement”), as amended May 21, 2008, to provide advice and assistance to the Board in evaluating the Transaction. Pursuant to the terms of our engagement, we have not been engaged to prepare a formal valuation of any of the assets or Common Shares or to express an opinion with respect to the structure of the Transaction itself, and this Fairness Opinion should not be construed as such. However, Haywood has performed financial analysis that it considered to be appropriate and necessary in the circumstances to support the conclusions reached in this Fairness Opinion.

The Engagement Agreement provides for Haywood to receive from PACE, for the services provided thereunder, a fee for the delivery of the Fairness Opinion, as well as reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. PACE has agreed to indemnify Haywood from and against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of professional services rendered to PACE by Haywood and its personnel under the Engagement Agreement.

This Fairness Opinion is provided to the Board of PACE in an impartial and objective fashion to assist the Board in discharging their fiduciary duties. This Fairness Opinion is not, and should not be considered to constitute, a recommendation to the Shareholders as to whether they should vote their Common Shares in favour of the Arrangement. Haywood has received no instructions from PACE in connection with the conclusions reached in this Fairness Opinion.

QUALIFICATIONS OF HAYWOOD

Haywood is an independent Canadian full-service investment banking firm focused on providing advisory and capital market related services to companies in energy, mining, and technology related industries.

INDEPENDENCE OF HAYWOOD

None of Haywood, its affiliates or associates, is an insider, associate or affiliate (as those terms are defined in the Securities Act (British Columbia)) of PACE, Green Dragon, or any of their respective associates or affiliates. Haywood is not an advisor to any person or company other than to the Board with respect to the Arrangement as outlined above.

Haywood acts as a trader and dealer, both as principal and agent, in all major financial markets in Canada and, as such, may have had today or in the future have positions in the securities of PACE and Green Dragon, and from time to time, may have executed or may execute transactions on behalf of PACE, Green Dragon or clients for which it received or may receive compensation. In addition, as an investment dealer, Haywood conducts research on securities and may, in the ordinary course of its business, provide research reports and investment advice to its clients on issues and investment matters, including with respect to PACE and Green Dragon. Haywood notes that it acted as agent with respect to a private placement equity financing by PACE in January 2006 and received a fee for the services provided in connection therewith.

SCOPE OF REVIEW CONDUCTED BY HAYWOOD

For the purpose of preparing this Fairness Opinion, Haywood has recently analyzed publicly available and confidential financial, operational and other information relating to PACE, including information derived from discussions with the management of PACE. Except as expressly described herein, Haywood has not conducted any independent investigations to verify the accuracy and completeness thereof.

In carrying out this engagement and arriving at our Fairness Opinion, we have reviewed and relied upon, among other things as pertaining to PACE:

i)

the Arrangement Agreement dated as of March 27, 2008, as amended May 19, 2008, pursuant to which GREKA and PACE have proposed to implement the Transaction;

ii)

the form of Lock-up Agreement entered into by certain officers and directors of PACE;

iii)

the Management Information Circular and Proxy Statement dated May 29, 2008 (the “Proxy Circular”);

iv)

the Management Information Circular dated June 27, 2007;

v)

the audited financial statements and MD&A for PACE for the year ended February 28, 2007;

vi)

the unaudited financial statements and MD&A for PACE for the third quarter of 2007 ended November 30, 2007;



- # -




vii)

the Sproule Report entitled ‘STUDY OF THE DISCOVERED CBM RESOURCES IN THE BAOTIAN-QINGSHAN PROPERTY, GUIZHOU PROVINCE, PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA’ and dated as of December 31, 2005;

viii)

information provided by PACE management concerning the current status of certain PACE assets;

ix)

public information relating to the business, operations, financial performance and stock
trading history of PACE and other selected public companies we considered relevant;

x)

discussions with the senior management of PACE;

xi)

certain other confidential financial, operational, legal, corporate and other information prepared or provided by the senior management of PACE; and

xii)

discussions with coal bed methane industry professionals regarding the general operational and business environment in which PACE conducts business.

In addition to the information detailed above, we have:

i)

reviewed publicly available financial and stock market information with respect to certain other companies we believe to be generally comparable in certain respects to that of PACE;

ii)

considered the valuation metrics of PACE and other comparable junior oil and gas energy companies (based upon the companies’ respective financial and operational information);

iii)

reviewed the historical market price performance and trading activity of the Common
Shares;

iv)

considered the business environment for PACE and PACE’s ability to execute it’s business plan going forward; and

v)

reviewed additional information regarding PACE that was uncovered during the GREKA
due diligence process of PACE, such information having been provided to us by PACE.

We also conducted such other analyses, investigations, research and testing of assumptions as were deemed by us to be appropriate or necessary in the circumstances. We were granted access by PACE to their management groups and, to our knowledge, we were not denied any information we requested.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS

We have relied upon, but in accordance with the terms of our engagement, have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of any of the materials, information, representations, reports and discussions referred to above (collectively, the “Information”) and

- # -




this Fairness Opinion is conditional upon such accuracy and completeness. Haywood has relied upon representations by management of the Company with respect to the accuracy and completeness of the Information at the date the Information was provided to us and that since the date of the Information, there has been no material change, financial or otherwise, in the position of the Company or in the Company’s assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), business or operations, as the case may be, and there has been no change in any material fact which is of a nature as to render the Information untrue or misleading in any material respect. Subject to the exercise of professional judgment and except as expressly described herein, Haywood has not attempted to verify independently the accuracy or completeness of any such information, data, advice, opinions, and representations. Haywood’s assumptions, the procedures we adopted and the conclusions and opinions reached by us are dependent, in part, upon all such facts and information.

This Fairness Opinion is rendered on the basis of securities markets, economic, financial and general business conditions prevailing as at May 29, 2008 and the condition and prospects, financial and otherwise, of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, as they were reflected in the Information and as they have been represented to Haywood in discussions with management of the Company. In rendering our Fairness Opinion, we have assumed that there are no undisclosed material facts relating to the Company or its business, operations, capital or future prospects. Any changes therein may affect our Fairness Opinion and we reserve the right to change or withdraw our Fairness Opinion in such event. In its analyses and in preparing this Fairness Opinion, Haywood has made numerous assumptions with respect to expected industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Haywood or any party involved in the Transaction. Haywood believes these assumptions are reasonable under the current circumstances; however, actual future results may demonstrate that certain assumptions were incorrect.

Haywood is an investment dealer and financial advisor only, and has relied upon, without independent verification or investigation, the assessment of the Company with respect to legal, tax, regulatory and actuarial matters. Haywood has not made any independent valuation or appraisal of any specific assets or liabilities of the Company. Haywood has assumed that the Transaction will be consummated in accordance with the terms set forth in the Agreement without any waiver, amendment or delay of any terms or conditions, and that the Transaction will be completed within the time frame contemplated in the Agreement.

This Fairness Opinion is limited to our analysis and conclusions regarding the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders regarding the consideration to be received by the Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement, and Haywood expresses no opinion as to the fairness of the Transaction relative to any alternative transactions available to the Company (if any). In addition, Haywood has not been asked to address, and this Fairness Opinion does not address, the fairness to, or any other consideration of, the holders of any class of securities, any creditors or any other constituencies of the Company, other than the Shareholders.

The Fairness Opinion is given as of May 29, 2008, and Haywood disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting the Fairness Opinion which may come or be brought to Haywood's attention after such date.

D-#




We believe that the analyses and factors considered in arriving at our Fairness Opinion are not necessarily amenable to partial analysis or summary description and that selecting portions of the analysis and the factors considered, without considering all factors and analyses together, could create a misleading view of the process employed and the conclusions reached. In arriving at our opinion, in addition to the facts and conclusions contained in the materials, information, representations, reports and discussions referred to above, we have assumed, among other things, the validity and efficacy of the procedures being followed to implement the Agreement and we express no opinion on such procedures.

CONCLUSION AND FAIRNESS OPINION

Based upon our analysis and subject to all of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that as of the date hereof the consideration to be received by the Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement, is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders.

This Fairness Opinion may be relied upon by the Board of Directors of PACE for the purpose of considering the Transaction and making its recommendation to Shareholders with respect to the Transaction, but may not be used or relied upon by any other person without our express prior written consent. We do consent to the summary description of, and duplication and inclusion of, this Fairness Opinion in the Proxy Circular.

Yours very truly,
