1. On March 15, 2005, Mr. Amin entered into a variable share forward contract with respect to 185,000 of the company's common shares. The agreement requires delivery of a variable number of shares (or cash equivalent amount) three trading days following March 3, 2009. The minimum number of shares deliverable is 123,333 and the maximum number of shares deliverable is 185,000.

The floor price and cap price under the contract are $11.279 and $16.9185, respectively. On March 18, 2005, Mr. Amin will receive upfront proceeds of $1,617,335.29, which represents 77.51% of the product of an initial share price of $11.279 and 185,000 common shares.
