NOTICE OF COMPULSORY ACQUISITION
TO:
|
THE HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES OF INMET MINING CORPORATION
|
Pursuant to an offer dated January 9, 2013, as varied by notices of variation and extension dated February 8, 2013, February 27, 2013, March 11, 2013 and March 21, 2013
(collectively, the
Offer
), FQM (Akubra) Inc. (
Akubra
), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of First Quantum Minerals Ltd. (
First Quantum
), and First Quantum (together, the
Offeror
), offered to purchase all of the outstanding common shares of Inmet Mining Corporation (
Inmet
), including any common shares of Inmet that became issued and outstanding after the date of the Offer but
before the Expiry Time (as defined herein) upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities (as defined in the Offer and Circular), together with the associated rights issued under the shareholder rights plan of Inmet dated
November 28, 2012 (collectively, the
Inmet Shares
) for consideration, at the option of the holder of Inmet Shares (each a
Shareholder
), of: (i) $72.00 in cash per Inmet Share (the
Cash
Alternative
); (ii) 3.2967 common shares of First Quantum (
First Quantum Shares
) per Inmet Share (the
Share Alternative
); or (iii) $36.00 in cash and 1.6484 First Quantum Shares per Inmet
Share (the
Cash and Share Alternative
), subject, in each case, to proration as set out in the Offer and Circular.
The Offer expired at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) on April 1, 2013 (the
Expiry Time
). Shareholders holding more than 90% of the Inmet Shares accepted the Offer. The Offeror is
required to take up and pay for all such Inmet Shares and has done so. As a result, the Offeror now owns more than 90% of the outstanding Inmet Shares and will be amalgamating Akubra with Inmet as described in the Offer and the Circular that
accompanied the offer dated January 9, 2013 (together with the Offer, the
Offer and Circular
).
Accordingly, the Offeror hereby gives you notice of the exercise of its right (the
Compulsory Acquisition
) under
section 206(2) of the
Canada Business Corporations Act
(
CBCA
) to acquire all Inmet Shares not tendered to the Offer (the
Remaining Shares
), including your Inmet Shares.
Pursuant to subsection 206(3)(c) of the CBCA, each holder of Remaining Shares (a
Remaining Shareholder
or
you
) are required to elect:
|
(a)
|
to transfer your Remaining Shares, at your option, for: (i) the Cash Alternative; (ii) the Share Alternative; or (iii) the Cash and Share Alternative,
and otherwise on the same terms on which the Offeror acquired the Inmet Shares from the Shareholders who accepted the Offer; or
|
|
(b)
|
to demand payment of the fair value of your Remaining Shares by notifying the Offeror within 20 days after you receive this Notice of Compulsory Acquisition.
|
No fractional First Quantum Shares will be issued pursuant to the Compulsory Acquisition. In lieu of fractional
First Quantum Shares, a Remaining Shareholder who would otherwise receive a fraction of a First Quantum Share will receive a cash payment determined on the basis of $21.84 for each whole First Quantum Share.
Enclosed with this Notice of Compulsory Acquisition is a Transmittal and Election Form, which, if completed and returned in the enclosed
envelope to Computershare Investor Services Inc. (the
Depositary
) at the address set forth below, will constitute notice to the Offeror of your election.
If you do not notify the Offeror of your election as indicated above on or before the Final Election Date (as defined herein), or if an election is improperly made, you will be deemed to have elected
to transfer your Remaining Shares to Akubra on the basis of the Cash and Share Alternative referred to in (a)(iii) above, without electing the Rollover Option (as defined in the Transmittal and Election Form).
NOTICE TO REMAINING SHAREHOLDERS IN THE UNITED STATES
The Compulsory Acquisition is being made by a Canadian issuer that is permitted, under the multijurisdictional disclosure system
(MJDS), to prepare this Notice of Compulsory Acquisition in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canada. Remaining Shareholders should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States. The financial
statements included or incorporated by reference herein, if any, have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, and may be subject to Canadian auditing and auditor independence standards, and thus, may not
be comparable to financial statements of U.S. companies.
The Compulsory Acquisition relates to the securities of a
Canadian foreign private issuer, as such term is defined in Rule 3b-4 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the U.S. Exchange Act), that does not have securities registered under Section 12 of the
U.S. Exchange Act. The Compulsory Acquisition is made in the United States with respect to the securities of a Canadian foreign private issuer, as such term is defined in Rule 3b-4 under the U.S. Exchange Act, in accordance with the
disclosure requirements of Canadian provincial and federal corporate and tender offer rules.
Remaining Shareholders
should be aware that the disposition of Remaining Shares and acquisition of the First Quantum Shares may have tax consequences both in the United States and in Canada. Such consequences may not be fully described herein and such Remaining
Shareholders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors. See Section 19 of the Offer and Circular, Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations, and Section 20 of the Offer and Circular, Certain U.S. Federal
Income Tax Considerations.
The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the U.S. federal securities
laws may be affected adversely by the fact that First Quantum is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, that some or all of its officers and directors and experts may be residents of jurisdictions outside the United States,
and that all or a substantial portion of the assets of First Quantum and said persons may be located outside the United States.
First Quantum has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) a Registration Statement on Form F-80 (the Registration Statement) and other documents and
information, and has mailed the documents concerning the Offer to Remaining Shareholders. Pursuant to Section V(D) of the Form F-80 instructions, First Quantum is exempt from filing a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO. Remaining Shareholders are
urged to read the Registration Statement, this Notice of Compulsory Acquisition and any other relevant documents filed with the SEC, because they contain important information. Remaining Shareholders will be able to obtain the documents free of
charge at the SECs website, www.sec.gov. In addition, documents filed with the SEC by First Quantum may also be obtained free of charge from First Quantums website at www.firstquantum.com or upon request made to First Quantum at 8th
Floor, 543 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 1X8. To obtain timely delivery, such documents should be requested not later than April 23, 2013, being five business days before the Final Election Date (as defined herein).
FIRST QUANTUM SHARES OFFERED PURSUANT TO THE OFFER AND THE COMPULSORY ACQUISITION HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR
DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC OR ANY U.S. STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE SEC OR ANY U.S. STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS NOTICE OF COMPULSORY ACQUISITION OR ANY DOCUMENTS RELATING TO THE OFFER. ANY
REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.
- 2 -

be mailed to you after receipt by the Depositary from you of: (i) the enclosed Transmittal and Election Form indicating such election; and (ii) the certificate(s) representing your Remaining Shares.
An election to demand payment of fair value under alternative (b) above involves an application to court. Such an election may only
be made by the registered holder of the Remaining Shares. If you intend to elect alternative (b) above, you should consider consulting your legal advisor as to the procedure to be followed in demanding payment of the fair value of your
Remaining Shares. Failure to comply strictly with such procedures may result in your being deemed to have elected alternative (a) above.
If your Transmittal and Election Form (or other written notice of demand, if applicable) is not properly completed and received by the Depositary on or before 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) on the
Final Election Date, you will be deemed to have elected to transfer your Remaining Shares to Akubra on the basis of the Cash and Share Alternative referred to in (a)(iii) above, without electing the Rollover Option.
The method used to deliver the Transmittal and Election Form, any accompanying certificate(s) representing Remaining Shares and all other
required documents is at the option and risk of the Remaining Shareholder depositing these documents. It is recommended that delivery be made by hand to the Depositary and that a receipt be obtained or, if mailed, that registered mail, with return
receipt requested, be used and that proper insurance be obtained. It is also recommended that any mailing be made sufficiently in advance to permit delivery to the Depositary so as to be received by the Final Election Date. An envelope has been
enclosed for your convenience. Delivery will only be effective upon actual receipt by the Depositary.
If the certificate(s)
representing your Remaining Shares have been lost or destroyed, you may contact the Depositary at the above address for information on how to obtain replacement certificates. If a certificate has been lost, destroyed, mutilated or misplaced, please
ensure that you provide your telephone number so that the Depositary may contact you.
The Offeror will deposit with the
Depositary, as depositary for the Compulsory Acquisition, by April 30, 2013 and in trust for you in accordance with subsections 206(6) and 206(7) of the CBCA, that consideration which is required to acquire your Remaining Shares on the same
terms as those on which the Offeror acquired the Inmet Shares of the Shareholders who accepted the Offer.

The foregoing is only a brief description of certain aspects of the right of Compulsory
Acquisition and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of section 206 of the CBCA and the disclosure provided in the Offer. The description is not intended to be complete. Section 206 of the CBCA is complex and may require strict
adherence to notice and timing provisions, failing which your rights may be lost or altered. Remaining Shareholders who wish to be better informed about those provisions of the CBCA should consult with their legal advisors.

case, to proration as set out in the Offer and Circular. The Offer expired at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) on April 1, 2013 (the
Expiry Time
).
Pursuant to a notice of compulsory acquisition (the
Notice of Compulsory Acquisition

Canada
Business Corporations Act
(
CBCA
) to acquire all Inmet Shares not tendered to the Offer (the

) are
required to elect:
|
(a)
|
to transfer your Remaining Shares, at your option, for: (i) the Cash Alternative; (ii) the Share Alternative; or (iii) the Cash and Share Alternative,

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Transmittal and Election Form have the meanings given to them in the Offer and

If your Transmittal and Election Form (or other written notice of demand, if applicable) is not properly
completed and received by Computershare Investor Services Inc. (the Depositary) on or before 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) within 20 days of your receipt of this Transmittal and Election Form, namely on or before April 30, 2013

herein).
You must, in all events and regardless of which alternative of (a) and (b) above you elect, send your Transmittal and
Election Form and all certificates representing your Remaining Shares to the Depositary, as agent for the Offeror, at the address set forth below of this Transmittal and Election Form on or before 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) on the Final

All dollar references in this Transmittal and Election Form refer to Canadian dollars, except where otherwise indicated.
The disposition of Remaining Shares pursuant to the Compulsory Acquisition will be immediately taxable to a Remaining Shareholder who is
resident in Canada for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the Tax Act) or a Remaining Shareholder who is not resident in Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act and whose Remaining Shares are taxable Canadian
property and not treaty-protected property (as each term is defined in the Tax Act), unless such Remaining Shareholder is an Eligible Holder (as defined herein) who receives First Quantum Shares pursuant to the Compulsory
Acquisition and such Remaining Shareholder properly completes a Tax Election form (duly executed with First Quantum) that is filed with the Canada Revenue Agency and any applicable provincial tax authority by the applicable deadline, in which case a
full or partial tax deferral may be obtained. If you are a Remaining Shareholder who qualifies as an Eligible Holder (as defined herein) and wish to make a Tax Election (the Rollover Option), you may request a Tax Election Package by
completing Block F in this Transmittal and Election Form.
As described in detail in the Offer and Circular, the
Offeror will not be responsible for the proper completion or filing of any Tax Election and an Eligible Holder electing the Rollover Option will be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes, interest, expenses, damages or late filing penalties
resulting from the failure to properly complete or file a Tax Election in the form or manner and within the time prescribed by applicable tax legislation. First Quantum agrees only to execute any properly completed Tax Election and to mail such
election by the 90
th
day after the receipt thereof by
First Quantum to the Canada Revenue Agency (and any applicable provincial tax authority) with a copy to the Eligible Holder provided that any such Tax Election is received by First Quantum within 60 days following the Expiry Date. See
Amendments to Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations in Section 4 of the Notice of Variation and Extension dated March 11, 2013.
A Tax Election Package, consisting of the relevant federal and provincial tax election forms, may be obtained from the Depositary by checking the appropriate box in Block F in this Transmittal and
Election Form.
The completion of a Tax Election is complicated and Eligible Holders should consult their own legal and tax advisors in order
to properly complete a Tax Election in the appropriate circumstances.

Shares pursuant to the Compulsory Acquisition, completing this Transmittal and Election Form and depositing Remaining Shares with the Depositary may be directed to the Depositary. The Depositarys contact details are provided at the end of this
document.
Remaining Shareholders whose Remaining Shares are registered in the name of an investment advisor, stockbroker, bank, trust
company or other nominee should immediately contact that intermediary for assistance to take the necessary steps to make an election hereunder.
DELIVERY OF THIS TRANSMITTAL AND ELECTION FORM TO AN ADDRESS OTHER THAN THE ADDRESS OF THE DEPOSITARY SET FORTH BELOW WILL NOT CONSTITUTE A VALID DELIVERY TO THE DEPOSITARY.
YOU MUST SIGN THIS TRANSMITTAL AND ELECTION FORM IN THE APPROPRIATE SPACE PROVIDED BELOW AND, IF YOU ARE A U.S. SHAREHOLDER, YOU MUST ALSO COMPLETE

TRANSFER OF REMAINING SHARES
ON THE TERMS OF THE OFFER
The undersigned hereby irrevocably delivers to you the Deposited Remaining Shares and irrevocably transfers
these Deposited Remaining Shares pursuant to the Compulsory Acquisition. The term
Deposited Remaining Shares
refers to the Remaining Shares identified above as being transferred pursuant to the Compulsory Acquisition and all other
rights and benefits arising from such Remaining Shares including, without limitation, any and all Distributions, and the term
Distributions
refers to any and all distributions, dividends, payments, securities, property or other
interests that may be declared, paid, accrued, issued, distributed, made or transferred on or in respect of the Deposited Remaining Shares or any of them on and after the date of the Compulsory Acquisition. The undersigned understands that by
transferring Remaining Shares pursuant to the Compulsory Acquisition, the undersigned will be deemed to have transferred the SRP Rights associated with the Remaining Shares. The undersigned understands that, unless waived by the Offeror, Remaining
Shareholders are required to transfer one SRP Right for each Remaining Share transferred under the Compulsory Acquisition in order to effect a valid transfer of such Remaining Share or, if available, a Book-Entry Confirmation must be received by the
Depositary with respect thereto. No additional payment will be made for the SRP Rights and no amount of the consideration to be paid by the Offeror for the Remaining Shares will be allocated to the SRP Rights.
The undersigned hereby acknowledges receipt of the Notice of Compulsory Acquisition and acknowledges that there will be a binding agreement between the
undersigned and the Offeror effective immediately following the time at which the Offeror pays for such Deposited Remaining Shares, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notice of Compulsory Acquisition and the Transmittal and Election
Form.
The undersigned represents and warrants that:
(a)
|
the undersigned has received the Notice of Compulsory Acquisition;
|
(b)
|
the undersigned, or the person on whose behalf a book-entry transfer is made, has full power and authority to deposit, sell, assign and transfer the Deposited Remaining
Shares and all rights and benefits arising from such Deposited Remaining Shares including, without limitation, any Distributions;
|
(c)
|
the undersigned, or the person on whose behalf a book-entry transfer is made, owns the Deposited Remaining Shares and any Distributions transferred pursuant to the
Compulsory Acquisition;
|
(d)
|
the Deposited Remaining Shares and Distributions transferred pursuant to the Compulsory Acquisition have not been sold, assigned or transferred, nor has any agreement
been entered into to sell, assign or transfer any of the Deposited Remaining Shares or Distributions transferred pursuant to the Compulsory Acquisition, to any person;
|
- 4 -
(e)
|
the deposit of the Deposited Remaining Shares and Distributions complies with applicable Laws; and
|
(f)
|
when the Deposited Remaining Shares are acquired and paid for by the Offeror, the Offeror will acquire good title thereto (and to any Distributions), free and clear of
all liens, restrictions, charges, encumbrances, claims and rights of others.
|
The Depositary will act as the agent of the
persons who have transferred Remaining Shares pursuant to the Compulsory Acquisition for the purposes of receiving payment from the Offeror and transmitting such payment to such persons. Receipt by the Depositary of the share certificates and/or
cash representing the consideration under the Compulsory Acquisition shall be deemed to constitute receipt of payment by persons transferring Remaining Shares pursuant to the Compulsory Acquisition.
All payments under the Compulsory Acquisition will be made in Canadian dollars.
Settlement with each Remaining Shareholder who has transferred Remaining Shares pursuant to the Compulsory Acquisition that have been acquired and paid for will be made by the Depositary issuing or
causing to be issued a cheque (except for payments in excess of $25 million, which will be made by wire transfer (as described below)) payable in Canadian funds and, if applicable, delivering or causing to be delivered direct registration system
advice certificates representing First Quantum Shares (or, in the case of Remaining Shares deposited by book-entry transfer, credit of First Quantum Shares), in the amounts to which the person depositing Remaining Shares is entitled. Unless
otherwise directed in this Transmittal and Election Form, the certificate representing First Quantum Shares (or, in the case of Remaining Shares deposited by book-entry transfer, the credit of First Quantum Shares) and/or the cheque will be issued
in the name of the registered holder of the Remaining Shares so deposited. Unless the person depositing the Remaining Shares instructs the Depositary to hold the certificate and/or the cheque for pick-up by checking the appropriate box
(Block D) in this Transmittal and Election Form, the certificate and/or the cheque will be forwarded by first class mail to such person at the address specified in this Transmittal and Election Form. If no such address is specified, the
certificate and/or the cheque will be sent to the address of the registered holder as shown on the securities register maintained by or on behalf of Inmet. Certificates and/or cheques mailed in accordance with this paragraph will be deemed to be
delivered at the time of mailing. Pursuant to applicable Laws, the Offeror may, in certain circumstances, be required to make withholdings from the amount otherwise payable to a Remaining Shareholder. The undersigned further understands and
acknowledges that under no circumstances will any interest accrue or any amount be paid by the Offeror or the Depositary by reason of any delay in exchanging Remaining Shares or making payments for any Remaining Shares to any person on account of
Remaining Shares acquired pursuant to the Compulsory Acquisition.
Pursuant to rules of the Canadian Payments Association, a $25 million
ceiling has been established on cheques, bank drafts and other paper-based payments processed through Canadas clearing system. As a result, any payment to the undersigned in excess of $25 million will be effected by the Depositary by wire
transfer in accordance with the Large Value Transfer System Rules established by the Canadian Payments Association. Accordingly, settlement with the undersigned involving a payment in excess of $25 million, if applicable, will be made only in
accordance with wire transfer instructions provided by the undersigned to the Depositary in writing. In the event wire transfer instructions are required as set out above, the Depositary will contact the undersigned for purposes of obtaining wire
transfer instructions. Any delay in payment by the Depositary resulting from the provision by the undersigned of wire transfer instructions will not entitle the undersigned to interest or other compensation in addition to the amounts to which the
undersigned is entitled pursuant to the Compulsory Acquisition.
By reason of the use by the undersigned of an English language form of
Transmittal and Election Form, the undersigned shall be deemed to have required that any contract evidenced by the Compulsory Acquisition as submitted through this Transmittal and Election Form, as well as all documents related thereto, be drawn
exclusively in the English language.

Substitute Form W-9 for U.S. Shareholders Only
|
United States federal income tax law generally requires a U.S. Shareholder who receives cash in exchange for Remaining Shares to provide the Depositary with its correct Taxpayer Identification Number
(
TIN
), which, in the case of a Shareholder who is an individual, is generally the individuals social security number. If the Depositary is not provided with the correct TIN or an adequate basis for an exemption from backup
withholding, such holder may be subject to penalties imposed by the Internal Revenue Service and backup withholding on the gross proceeds of any payment received hereunder. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained
by timely filing a U.S. tax return.
To prevent backup withholding, each U.S. Shareholder must provide its correct TIN by completing the
Substitute Form W-9 set forth in this document, which requires the Shareholder to certify under penalties of perjury, (1) that the TIN provided is correct (or that such Shareholder is awaiting a TIN); (2) that (i) the
Shareholder is exempt from backup withholding; (ii) the Shareholder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that he is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends; or (iii) the
Internal Revenue Service has notified the Shareholder that he is no longer subject to backup withholding; and (3) that the Shareholder is a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including a U.S. resident alien).
Exempt holders (including, among others, all C corporations) are not subject to backup withholding and reporting requirements. To prevent possible
erroneous backup withholding, an exempt holder must enter its correct TIN in Part 1 of Substitute Form W-9, write Exempt in Part 2 of such form, and sign and date the form. See the enclosed Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer
Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9 (the
W-9 Guidelines
) for additional instructions.
If Remaining Shares are
held in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the enclosed W-9 Guidelines for information on which TIN to report.
If a U.S. Shareholder does not have a TIN, such holder should: (i) consult the enclosed W-9 Guidelines for instructions on applying for a TIN, (ii) write Applied For in the space for
the TIN in Part 1 of the Substitute Form W-9, and (iii) sign and date the Substitute Form W-9 and the Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number set forth in this document. In such case, the Depositary may withhold a portion of the
gross proceeds of any payment made to such holder prior to the time a properly certified TIN is provided to the Depositary.
If a Shareholder
has a U.S. address, but is not a U.S. Shareholder, such holder is required to submit an appropriate and properly completed IRS Form W-8 Certificate of Foreign Status, signed under penalties of perjury. Such appropriate IRS Form W-8 may be obtained
from the Depositary.
A SHAREHOLDER WHO FAILS TO PROPERLY COMPLETE THE SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9 SET FORTH IN THIS TRANSMITTAL AND ELECTION FORM
OR, IF APPLICABLE, THE APPROPRIATE IRS FORM W-8 MAY BE SUBJECT TO BACKUP WITHHOLDING ON THE GROSS PROCEEDS OF ANY PAYMENTS MADE TO SUCH HOLDER PURSUANT TO THE OFFER. BACKUP WITHHOLDING IS NOT AN ADDITIONAL TAX. RATHER, THE TAX LIABILITY OF PERSONS
SUBJECT TO BACKUP WITHHOLDING WILL BE REDUCED BY THE AMOUNT OF TAX WITHHELD. IF WITHHOLDING RESULTS IN AN OVERPAYMENT OF TAXES, A REFUND MAY BE OBTAINED BY TIMELY FILING A TAX RETURN WITH THE IRS. THE DEPOSITARY CANNOT REFUND AMOUNTS WITHHELD BY
REASON OF BACKUP WITHHOLDING.
TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT CIRCULAR 230, SHAREHOLDERS ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT:
(A) ANY DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL TAX ISSUES IN THIS DOCUMENT IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND CANNOT BE USED, BY ANY TAXPAYER FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON THE TAXPAYER UNDER THE U.S. INTERNAL REVENUE
CODE; (B) THESE DISCUSSIONS WERE WRITTEN IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING OF THE OFFER; AND (C) EACH TAXPAYER SHOULD SEEK ADVICE FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR BASED ON ITS PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.
All amounts payable
pursuant to the Compulsory Acquisition will be paid in Canadian dollars.
|
(a)
|
If the space in Box 2 of this Transmittal and Election Form is insufficient to list all certificates for Remaining Shares, additional certificate numbers and number of
Remaining Shares may be included on a separate signed list affixed to this Transmittal and Election Form.

Obtaining a Number
If you do not have a taxpayer identification number, you may apply for one. To apply for a social security number, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local Social Security
Administration Office or online at www.ssa.gov. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer
Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can find information about applying for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/businesses and clicking on Employer Identification Number under Starting a Business. You can get Forms
W-7 and SS-4 from the IRS by visiting www.irs.gov or by calling 1-800-829-3676.
Note: Writing Applied For on the form means that
you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon. As soon as you receive your TIN, complete another Substitute Form W-9, include your TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the payer.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS
The following
information is applicable to the Registrant.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 21.3 of the Registrants Articles provides that subject to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the
Act), the Registrant may indemnify any person.
Section 160 of the Act, which governs the Registrant,
provides that the Registrant may, indemnify an individual who is or was a director or officer of the Registrant, is or was a director or officer of another corporation (i) at a time when the corporation is or was an affiliate of the Registrant,
or (ii) at the request of the Registrant, or at the request of the Registrant, is or was, or holds or held a position equivalent to that of, a director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity and, except
in sections 163(1)(c) and (d) and section 165 referred to below, the heirs and personal and other legal representatives of that individual (an Eligible Party), against all eligible penalties to which the Eligible Party is or may be
liable and, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an Eligible Party in respect of that proceeding. Section 161 of the Act provides that after the final disposition of an
eligible proceeding, the Registrant must pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Eligible Party in respect of that proceeding if the Eligible Party (i) has not been reimbursed for those expenses, and (ii) is wholly
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the outcome of the proceeding or is substantially successful on the merits in the outcome of the proceeding.
associated corporation is any corporation or entity referred to in the foregoing definition of Eligible Party.
eligible penalty means a judgment, penalty or fine awarded in or imposed in, or an amount paid in settlement of, an eligible proceeding.
eligible proceeding includes a proceeding in which the Eligible Party, by reason of an Eligible Party (other than such heirs
and personal and other legal representatives) being or having been a director or officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, the Registrant or an associated corporation is or may be joined as a
party, or is or may be liable for or in respect of a judgment, penalty or fine in, or expenses related to, the proceeding.
expenses includes costs, charges and expenses, including legal or other fees, but does not include judgments, penalties,
fines or amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding.
proceedings includes any legal proceeding or investigative
action, whether current, threatened, pending or completed.
Section 162(1) of the Act provides that the Registrant may
pay, as they are incurred in advance of the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an Eligible Party in respect of that proceeding. However, section 162(2) provides that the Registrant must not
make the payments referred to in section 162(1) unless the Registrant first receives from the Eligible Party a written undertaking that, if it is ultimately determined that the payment of expenses is prohibited by section 163, the Eligible Party
will repay the amounts advanced.
Section 163(1) of the Act provides that the Registrant must not indemnify or pay the
expenses as described in the foregoing paragraphs, if any of the following circumstances applies:
(a) if the indemnity or
payment is made under an earlier agreement to indemnify or pay expenses and, at the time that the agreement to indemnify or pay expenses was made, the Registrant was prohibited from giving the indemnity or paying the expenses by its memorandum or
articles;
(b) if the indemnity or payment is made otherwise than under an earlier agreement to indemnify or pay expenses and,
at the time that the indemnity or payment is made, the Registrant is prohibited from giving the indemnity or paying the expenses by its memorandum or articles;
II-1
(c) if, in relation to the subject matter of the eligible proceeding, the Eligible Party did
not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant or the associated corporation, as the case may be;
(d) in the case of an eligible proceeding other than a civil proceeding, if the Eligible Party did not have reasonable grounds for believing that the Eligible Partys conduct in respect of which the
proceeding was brought was lawful.
In addition section 163(2) of the Act provides that if an eligible proceeding is brought
against an Eligible Party by or on behalf of the Registrant or by or on behalf of an associated corporation, the Registrant must not (i) indemnify the Eligible Party against eligible penalties or (ii) pay the expenses described in the
foregoing paragraphs.
Section 164 of the Act provides that, despite the foregoing provisions, on the application of the
Registrant or an Eligible Party, the Supreme Court of British Columbia may do one or more of the following:
(a) order the
Registrant to indemnify an Eligible Party against any liability incurred in respect of an eligible proceeding;
(b) order the
Registrant to pay some or all of the expenses incurred in respect of an eligible proceeding;
(c) order the enforcement of, or
any payment under, an agreement of indemnification entered into by the Registrant;
(d) order the Registrant to pay some or all
of the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by any person in obtaining an order under section 164;
(e) make any other
order the court considers appropriate.
Section 165 of the Act provides that the Registrant may purchase and maintain
insurance for the benefit of an Eligible Party or the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of the Eligible Party against any liability that may be incurred by reason of the Eligible Party being or having been a director or officer of,
or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, the Registrant or an associated corporation.
As contemplated by Section 165 of the Act, the Registrant has purchased insurance against potential claims against the directors or officers of the Registrant and against loss for which the
Registrant may be required or permitted by law to indemnify such directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
