Past performance: Past performance information given in this document, including in relation to upgrades to resources and reserves, is given for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as (and is not) an indication of future performance.

Forward-looking statements: This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements. The words "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "contemplate", "target", "plan", "intend", "continue", "budget", "estimate", "may", "will", "schedule" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of the securities laws of applicable jurisdictions. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and, accordingly, not to put undue reliance on such statements. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding targets, estimates and assumptions in respect of nickel, gold or other metal production and prices, operating costs and results, capital expenditures, mineral reserves and mineral resources and anticipated grades and recovery rates. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions related to future business, economic, market, political, social and other conditions that, while considered reasonable by IGO as at the date of this presentation, are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies. Many known and unknown factors could cause actual events or results to differ materially from estimated or anticipated events or results reflected in such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the factors set out in the "Key Risks" section of this presentation. IGO disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law.

Important notices and disclaimer

Investment risk: An investment in IGO shares is subject to known and unknown risks, some of which are beyond the control of IGO and some of which are described in the "Key Risks" section of this presentation. IGO does not guarantee any particular rate of return or the performance of IGO. Investors should have regard to the risk factors outlined in this presentation when making their investment decision and should make their own enquiries and investigations regarding all information in this presentation, including but not limited to the assumptions, uncertainties and contingencies which may affect future operations of IGO and the impact that different future outcomes may have on IGO.

Resources and reserves: The information in this presentation that relates to Exploration Results has been extracted from ASX release 25 July 2016 Tropicana – Delineation of new high grade shoot, which is available on the IGO website at www.igo.com.au. IGO confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original announcement. The information in this presentation that relates to Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves has been extracted from ASX release 28 October 2015 Mineral Resources and Ore Reserve Update and, in respect of the Nova Project, ASX release 14 December 2015 Nova Project Optimisation Study, which are available on the IGO website at www.igo.com.au. IGO confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original announcements and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves in those announcements continue to apply and have not materially changed. The information in this presentation that relates to production targets for the Nova Project, and the NPV and cash flows derived from those production targets, has been extracted from ASX release 21 July 2016 Accelerated Bollinger Decline at Nova Project. IGO confirms that all the material assumptions underpinning the production targets, and the NPV and cash flows derived from the production targets, in the original announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed. Unless otherwise indicated, the Ore Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates contained in this document have been prepared in accordance with 2012 edition of the Joint Ore Reserves Committee's Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves ("JORC Code"). Investors outside Australia should note that while IGO's reserve and resource estimates comply with the JORC Code, they may not comply with the relevant guidelines in other countries and, in particular, do not comply with (i) National Instrument 43-101(Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects) of the Canadian Securities Administrators and (ii) Industry Guide 7, which governs disclosures of mineral reserves in registration statements filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Information contained in this presentation describing IGO's mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of Canadian or US securities laws. In particular, Industry Guide 7 does not recognise classifications other than proven and probable reserves and, as a result, the SEC generally does not permit mining companies to disclose their mineral resources in SEC filings. You should not assume that quantities reported as "resources" will be converted to reserves under the JORC Code or any other reporting regime or that IGO will be able to legally and economically extract them. Refer to Appendix A of this presentation for further details regarding IGO's reserves and resources.

  7. All Reserve tonnes have been rounded to the nearest one hundred thousand tonnes and grade to the nearest 1/10th percentage/gram per tonne.

  8. *Gold (Au) grades are Inferred at Wilga due to a paucity of gold assays in historic drilling. Revenue from gold in the Wilga ore w as included in the estimation of the Ore Reserve. The contribution to Revenue of this gold w as estimated to be \$8.65 per gram of gold in situ. This inclusion w as not material to the value of the mining envelopes considered and did not w arrant dow ngrading of any portion of the Ore Reserve attributable to Wilga. The contribution from Wilga represents 18% of the Total Ore Reserve. 3. The Ore Reserve w as estimated using the Net Smelter Return (NSR) method. The NSR value represents unit revenue per tonne net of all off-site costs. These off-site costs included road transport, sea transport, treatment charges, refining costs and state royalties. The NSR value did not include site costs such as mining, geology, processing and site administration. These site costs w ere applied in the form of an NSR cut-off, used to guide the limits of a practical and economic mining envelope.

Appendix B. Key Risks

objectives, financial situation and needs and following consultation with their professional advisors.

There are various risks associated with investing in IGO, both because of the nature of stock market investments and specifically because of the nature of IGO's mining business and operations. The following slides identify some of the key risks relevant to an investment in IGO, many of which are outside IGO's control. However, they are not an exhaustive list of the risks relevant to an investment in IGO. Additional risks not currently known to IGO may also have a material effect on its business and operations. Before investing or increasing an investment in IGO, investors should consider whether the investment is suitable for them having regard to the risk factors set out below, publicly available information, their investment

Operational risks
Operational uncertainties IGO's assets and mining operations, as any others, will be subject to uncertainty with respect to (among other things): ore tonnes, mine grade, ground
conditions, metallurgical recovery or unanticipated metallurgical issues (which may affect extraction costs), in fill resource drilling, mill performance, the
level of experience of the workforce, operational environment, funding for development, regulatory changes, accidents and other unforeseen
circumstances such as unplanned mechanical failure of plant or equipment, storms, floods, bushfires or other natural disasters.
The occurrence of any of these circumstances could result in IGO not realising its operational, development or commissioning plans, or such plans
costing more than expected or taking longer to realise than expected. Any of these outcomes could have an adverse effect on IGO's financial and
operational performance.
Exploration risk As mining activities will deplete IGO's reserves and resources, the ability to continually find or replace reserves and resources is important for the
ongoing stability of IGO's operations. However, exploration activities are speculative by nature, require substantial expenditure and can take several
years before it is known whether they will result in additional mines being developed.
Exploration on IGO's existing exploration and mining tenements may be unsuccessful, resulting in a reduction of the value of those tenements,
diminution in the cash reserves of IGO and possible relinquishment of the exploration and mining tenements.
In addition, it may not always be possible for IGO to exploit successful discoveries which may be made in areas in which IGO has
an interest. Such
exploitation would involve obtaining the necessary licences or clearances from relevant authorities that may require conditions to be satisfied and the
exercise of discretions by such authorities. It may or may not be possible for such conditions to be satisfied. Further, the decision to proceed to further
exploitation may require participation of other companies whose interests and objectives may not be the same as IGO's interests and objectives.
Ability to achieve
production guidance
IGO has provided production guidance for its Nova, Tropicana, Long and Jaguar mines. While IGO considers that it has a reasonable basis for this
guidance, actual future production may vary from the guidance for various reasons, many of which cannot be foreseen and are beyond the control of
IGO. These factors may cause the production guidance not to be achieved or to be achieved later than expected, or to be achieved
at a higher cost
than anticipated.
Joint venture and other
arrangements
IGO may hold assets, developments or undertake projects through incorporated and unincorporated joint ventures with third parties. There is a risk of
financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture to which IGO is or may become a party. Disagreements between co-venturers or a failure
of co-venturer to adequately manage a project poses a further risk of financial loss or legal or other disputes with the other participants in such a joint
venture.
Projects held and run through joint ventures impose a number of restrictions on IGO's ability to sell its interest in any assets
held through such a
structure and may require prior approval of the other joint venture partner or may be subject to pre-emptive rights.
Customer concentration IGO relies in part on a contracted customer base to generate its revenue. The Long operation has a high customer concentration, with revenue being
derived from one customer (BHPB Nickel West). BHPB Nickel West will also be a key customer of the Nova Project. If key customers
default, exercise
termination rights or cease dealing with IGO in the future, the ability of IGO to generate revenue from its produced commodities
may be adversely
impacted.
IGO has policies in place to ensure that sales of products are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. IGO has further sought to manage
the risk of customer concentration by generating a diversified customer base and making contractual arrangements to guarantee
the receipt of a
majority percentage of expected payments.
Financing risks and
capital requirements
IGO's capital requirements will depend on a number of factors. While every care has been taken in estimating the capital cost
and future operating
costs for IGO's projects, including contingency, the actual costs experienced in developing and operating mines may vary from
current estimates. Any
variations could adversely affect IGO's financial position and performance.
Following the Placement, IGO expects to have sufficient funding (based on existing estimates of funding requirements) in relation to its existing
operations. However, further financing may be required in the future for IGO's exploration, development or ongoing activities.
IGO may be required to seek alternative or further financing (either in the form of debt or equity). Any debt financing, if available, may involve
restrictions on IGO's financing and operating activities, or its business strategy, and additional equity financing may dilute shareholders and may be
undertaken at lower prices than the current market price. No assurances can be made that appropriate capital or funding, if and when needed, will be
available on terms favourable to IGO or at all.
In the ordinary course of operations and development, IGO is required to issue financial assurances, particularly insurances and
bond/bank guarantee
instruments, to secure statutory and environmental performance undertakings and commercial arrangements. IGO's ability to provide such assurances
is subject to external financial and credit market assessments, and its own financial position.
Mineral Resource and
Ore Reserve estimates
The volume and quality of the commodities that IGO recovers may be less than the estimates previously provided to shareholders. While IGO's
Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves estimates are prepared in accordance with the JORC Code, they are expressions of judgement
based on
knowledge, experience and industry practice, and may ultimately prove to be inaccurate and require adjustment. In addition, estimates which were
valid when originally calculated may alter significantly when new information, market conditions or techniques are available including during the
process of mine development. As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis, the estimates are likely to change.
Adjustments to estimates could affect the future development and mining plans of IGO and, in turn, its operations and financial performance.
Estimates of recoverable quantities of proven and probable reserves include assumptions regarding commodity prices, exchange rates, discount rates,
production and transportation costs for future cash flows. Estimates also require interpretation of complex and difficult geological and geophysical
models in order to make an assessment of the size, shape, depth and quality of reserves and their anticipated recoveries. The
economic, geological
and technical factors used to estimate reserves may change from period to period. Gold and nickel price fluctuations, as well
as
increased production
costs or reduced throughput and/or recovery rates, may render resources containing relatively lower grades uneconomic and may
materially affect
resource estimations. If IGO's actual Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves are less than current estimates, IGO's prospects, value, business, results
of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.
Contained metal (tonnes and grades) are normally estimated annually and published in resource and reserve statements, however
actual production in
terms of tonnes and grade often vary as ore bodies can be complex and inconsistent.
Infrastructure,
transportation and
remoteness of
The commodities expected to be produced by IGO will be required to be transported to customers internationally. Each stage of
the transportation
process poses risks, including the initial remoteness of IGO's projects. Fuel costs, unexpected delays and accidents could materially impact upon
IGO's financial position.
operations Further, there are risks associated with the availability of adequate trucking, rail and port facilities and the process for obtaining approvals to access
these facilities (including the timing and conditions on which access may be granted). If IGO is not able to access the required
infrastructure within a
certain time period or at a reasonable cost, this could adversely affect IGO's operations and financial performance.
The price of sea freight, smelting and refining charges are market driven and can vary throughout the life of each project. These will also impact on the
overall profitability of IGO.
Energy costs While IGO puts in place hedging arrangements in relation to diesel, IGO is still exposed to price fluctuations for the unhedged portion of its diesel
requirements.
Environmental risks and
hazards
The operations of IGO may be materially affected by adverse weather conditions and other environmental hazards such as fires,
floods and water
ingress and seismic activity which may delay or prevent operations from taking place and cause IGO to incur significant costs
to
rectify any damage or
consequences arising from those hazards.
In particular, mining-induced and regional seismicity is an inherent risk at the Long Operation where the ore bodies are, to a varying degree, disrupted
by cross-cutting porphyries, some of which are stressed. IGO currently has in place procedures to monitor this seismic activity but no assurance can
be given that these procedures will prevent any delay in operations taking place, or that significant costs will not be required
to manage such activity.
Security of tenure IGO cannot guarantee that all or any licences or permits in which IGO has interests will be renewed. Such renewals are at the
discretion of relevant
government bodies and ministries in the jurisdiction, and often depends on IGO being successful in obtaining other required statutory approvals for its
proposed activities. There is no assurance that such renewals or grants will be granted, nor that they will be granted without different or further
conditions attached.
There may be areas in relation to tenements which IGO has an existing interest in, or will acquire an interest in the future,
over which common law
Native Title rights exist, or may be found to exist, which may preclude or delay exploration, development or production activities. IGO must also comply
with Aboriginal heritage legislation requirements which require heritage survey work to be undertaken ahead of the commencement of mining and
exploration operations.
Regulatory requirements
including exploration and
mining permits and
licences
IGO's operations are subject to various Federal, State and local laws and regulations, including those relating to mining, prospecting, development
permit and licence requirements, industrial relations, environment, land use, royalties, water, native title and cultural heritage, mine safety and
occupational health. These laws and regulations may become more restrictive, impose stricter standards and increase penalties
for non-compliance,
which may adversely affect IGO's financial performance. Additional capital may be required to ensure compliance with such laws and regulations, and
operational activities may be delayed or prevented entirely.
In addition, approvals, licences and permits required to comply with such rules are subject to the discretion of the applicable government officials. IGO
may be required to obtain government permits to commence or expand operations, which can be a costly and time-consuming process that can be
cross-jurisdictional and may involve public hearings and costly undertakings. No assurance can be given that IGO will be successful in obtaining any
or all of the various approvals, licences and permits or maintaining such authorisations in full force and effect without modification or revocation. To the
extent such approvals are required and not retained or obtained in a timely manner or at all, IGO may be curtailed or prohibited
from continuing or
proceeding with production and exploration.
Environment,
rehabilitation and
restoration
The operations and activities of IGO will be subject to the environmental laws and regulations of Australia and the other jurisdictions in which IGO may
conduct business. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, IGO's operations and activities are expected to have an impact on the
environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. IGO will attempt to conduct its operations and activities to the highest
standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws and regulations.
Climate change regulation is not currently expected to change significantly in the sectors or jurisdictions in which IGO operates. However, the nature of
the activities of IGO are highly energy intensive and depend on the use of fossil fuels. Any changes to government regulation
or
policy relating to
climate change, including relating to greenhouse gas emissions or energy intensive assets, may directly or indirectly impact IGO's costs and
operational efficiency.
The provision for rehabilitation and restoration costs to which IGO is subject is based on the net present value of the estimated cost of restoring the
environmental disturbance caused by operations that has occurred up to the reporting date. IGO's provision is necessarily an estimate only, based on
the information available at the reporting date and it is not possible to predict with certainty rehabilitation and restoration costs. Also, IGO is unable to
predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations which may be adopted in the future, including whether any
such laws or regulations
would materially increase IGO's cost of doing business or affect its operations in any area.
Export and import
regulations
The import and export policies of any jurisdiction in which IGO operates or sells product to may change in the future. As the
revenues of IGO depend
upon the process of exporting commodities, the profitability and financial position of IGO may be adversely affected by any such
adverse import and
export regulations.
Key personnel and
labour
A number of key personnel are important to attaining the business goals of IGO. One or more of these key employees could leave their employment,
and this may adversely affect the ability of IGO to conduct their business and, accordingly, affect the financial performance
of
IGO and the price of IGO
shares. Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel are important to the success of IGO. The number of persons skilled in the exploration and
development of mining properties is limited and competition for such persons can be strong, depending on market conditions.
Any disputes with employees (through personal injuries, industrial matters or otherwise) change in labour regulations, or other developments in the
area may cause labour disputes, work stoppages or other disruptions in production that could adversely impact IGO.
Key contractors IGO may use external contractors or service providers for many of its activities, and as such the failure of any current or proposed contractors,
subcontractors or other service providers to perform their contractual obligations may negatively impact the business of IGO.
IGO cannot guarantee
that such parties will fulfil their contractual obligations and there is no guarantee that IGO would be successful in enforcing any of its contractual rights
through legal action. Further, the insolvency or managerial failure by any such contractors or other service providers may pose a significant risk to
IGO's operating and financial performance and financial position.
Litigation As at the date of this presentation, IGO is not aware of any material disputes or litigation being undertaken. However, like any
mining company
operating in a commercial setting, it is possible that IGO may be involved in disputes and litigation in the course of its future operations. There is a risk
that any material or costly dispute or litigation and compensation or damages could adversely impact the financial position or performance of IGO.
General risks
Commodity price
volatility
IGO's revenues and cash flows are largely derived from the sale of a variety of commodities, including nickel, copper, zinc, silver and gold. IGO's
financial performance will be exposed to fluctuations in the prices of these commodities.
Commodity prices may be influenced by numerous factors and events which are beyond the control of IGO, including supply and demand
fundamentals, currency exchange rates, interest rates, general economic, political and regulatory conditions, the policies of
domestic and foreign
governments, speculative activities and other factors. These factors may have a positive or negative effect on IGO's production plans and activities, as
well as the ability to fund those plans and activities.
IGO puts in place hedging contracts for part of its expected production in order to reduce its exposure to potential falls in
the prices of these
commodities. However, IGO is still exposed to spot prices for the remainder of its anticipated future production of these and
other commodities. IGO
cannot provide any assurance as to the prices that it will achieve for its commodities in the future.
Foreign exchange rates IGO is an Australian business that reports in Australian dollars. IGO's revenue is derived from the sale of commodities that are
typically priced in US
dollars, and the majority of its costs are usually denominated in Australian dollars. Therefore, IGO will be exposed to movements in foreign exchange
rates (in particular, the USD/AUD exchange rate), the impact of which cannot be predicted reliably.
IGO has put in place certain derivative financial instruments in an attempt to mitigate some of its exposure to foreign exchange
rates, including forward
contracts and the purchase of Australian dollar call options. However, IGO will still be exposed to foreign exchange risk in relation to currency that has
not been hedged.
Tax risk Changes to income tax (including capital gains tax), GST, duty or other revenue legislation, case law, rulings or determinations
issued by the
Commissioner of Taxation or other practices of tax authorities may change following the Placement or the SPP and may adversely affect IGO's
profitability, net assets and cash flow. In particular, both the level and basis of taxation may change.
There is additional exposure to risk for IGO as it operates in the resources sector, and as such is often required to pay government royalties and other
indirect taxes and levies. Any changes in government policies relating to the taxation, royalties or other levies imposed on the
resources sector, or the
interpretation thereof, may adversely impact the financial position of IGO.
Share market conditions There are risks associated with any investment in securities. Publicly listed securities and, in particular, securities of mining and exploration
companies, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performances of such
companies. General factors that may affect the market price of shares include economic conditions in both Australia and internationally, investor
sentiment and local and international share market conditions, changes in interest rates and the rate of inflation, variations in commodity prices, the
global security situation and the possibility of terrorist disturbances, changes to government regulation, policy or legislation, changes which may occur
to the taxation of companies as a result of changes in Australian and foreign taxation laws, changes to the system of dividend imputation in Australia,
and changes in exchange rates.
These factors may materially affect the market price of IGO shares regardless of IGO's performance. The past performance of IGO is not necessarily
an indication as to the future performance of IGO. There can be no guarantee that there will continue to be an active market for
IGO shares or that the
price of IGO shares will increase. Neither IGO nor the IGO board warrants the future performance of IGO or any return on an investment in IGO.

48

Dividends IGO's dividend policy is to maintain a minimum dividend payout ratio of 30% of NPAT (excluding non-recurring items), rounded to the nearest whole
cent. However, the payment of dividends (if any) by IGO is determined by the IGO board from time to time at its discretion, and is dependent upon
factors including the profitability and cash flow of IGO's business at the relevant time.
Any dividends paid by IGO in the future will be subject to similar considerations. IGO operates in a cyclical sector, in which financial characteristics
(such as commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and energy costs) vary and as a result will have an impact on profit and cash flow generation. This
may result in variations in the capability of IGO to make dividend payments to shareholders through varying business cycles.
Accounting IGO makes estimates and assumptions about its business and revenues concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates
will form the basis
of accounting estimates for IGO, and will, by definition, seldom reflect the related actual results. These estimates and assumptions have a significant
risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, and include trade receivables,
impairment of assets, reserve estimates, rehabilitation and restoration costs, derivative financial instruments, and share based
payments.
Any changes in accounting policies may have an adverse impact on IGO. There are no current plans for any material changes in accounting policies.
Insurance IGO will endeavour to maintain insurance for IGO within ranges of coverage in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances,
this insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance
could have a material adverse effect on IGO's operating and financial performance and financial position.
Insurance of risks associated with minerals exploration and production (including accidents, pollution and other hazards) is not
always available and,
where available, the costs can be prohibitive. There is a risk that insurance premiums may increase to a level where IGO considers it is unreasonable
or not in its interests to maintain insurance cover to a level of coverage which is in accordance with industry practice. IGO
will use reasonable
endeavours to insure against the risks it considers appropriate for its needs and circumstances. However, no assurance can be
given that IGO will be
able to obtain such insurance coverage in the future at reasonable rates or that any coverage it arranges will be adequate and available to cover
claims.

Appendix C. International Offer Restrictions

International offer restrictions

This document does not constitute an offer of new ordinary shares ("New Shares") of Independence Group NL (the "Company") in any jurisdiction in which it would be unlawful. In particular, this document may not be distributed to any person, and the New Shares may not be offered or sold, in any country outside Australia except to the extent permitted below.

Canada (British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec provinces)

This document constitutes an offering of New Shares only in the Provinces of British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec (the "Provinces") and to those persons to whom they may be lawfully distributed in the Provinces, and only by persons permitted to sell such New Shares. This document is not, and under no circumstances is to be construed as, an advertisement or a public offering of securities in the Provinces. This document may only be distributed in the Provinces to persons that are "accredited investors" within the meaning of NI 45-106 – Prospectus and Registration Exemptions, of the Canadian Securities Administrators.

No securities commission or similar authority in the Provinces has reviewed or in any way passed upon this document, the merits of the New Shares or the offering of New Shares and any representation to the contrary is an offence.

No prospectus has been, or will be, filed in the Provinces with respect to the offering of New Shares or the resale of such securities. Any person in the Provinces lawfully participating in the offer will not receive the information, legal rights or protections that would be afforded had a prospectus been filed and receipted by the securities regulator in the applicable Province. Furthermore, any resale of the New Shares in the Provinces must be made in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws which may require resales to be made in accordance with exemptions from dealer registration and prospectus requirements. These resale restrictions may in some circumstances apply to resales of the New Shares outside Canada and, as a result, Canadian purchasers should seek legal advice prior to any resale of the New Shares.

The Company as well as its directors and officers may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible for purchasers to effect service of process within Canada upon the Company or its directors or officers. All or a substantial portion of the assets of the Company and such persons may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible to satisfy a judgment against the Company or such persons in Canada or to enforce a judgment obtained in Canadian courts against the Company or such persons outside Canada.

Any financial information contained in this document has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Unless stated otherwise, all dollar amounts contained in this document are in Australian dollars.

Statutory rights of action for damages and rescission

Securities legislation in certain of the Provinces may provide purchasers with, in addition to any other rights they may have at law, rights of rescission or to damages, or both, when an offering memorandum that is delivered to purchasers contains a misrepresentation. These rights and remedies must be exercised within prescribed time limits and are subject to the defenses contained in applicable securities legislation. Prospective purchasers should refer to the applicable provisions of the securities legislation of their respective Province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.

(Continued on next slide)

Canada (British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec provinces) (Continued)

The following is a summary of the statutory rights of rescission or to damages, or both, available to purchasers in Ontario. In Ontario, every purchaser of the New Shares purchased pursuant to this document (other than (a) a "Canadian financial institution" or a "Schedule III bank" (each as defined in NI 45-106), (b) the Business Development Bank of Canada or (c) a subsidiary of any person referred to in (a) or (b) above, if the person owns all the voting securities of the subsidiary, except the voting securities required by law to be owned by the directors of that subsidiary) shall have a statutory right of action for damages and/or rescission against the Company if this document or any amendment thereto contains a misrepresentation. If a purchaser elects to exercise the right of action for rescission, the purchaser will have no right of action for damages against the Company. This right of action for rescission or damages is in addition to and without derogation from any other right the purchaser may have at law. In particular, Section 130.1 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that, if this document contains a misrepresentation, a purchaser who purchases the New Shares during the period of distribution shall be deemed to have relied on the misrepresentation if it was a misrepresentation at the time of purchase and has a right of action for damages or, alternatively, may elect to exercise a right of rescission against the Company, provided that (a) the Company will not be liable if it proves that the purchaser purchased the New Shares with knowledge of the misrepresentation; (b) in an action for damages, the Company is not liable for all or any portion of the damages that the Company proves does not represent the depreciation in value of the New Shares as a result of the misrepresentation relied upon; and (c) in no case shall the amount recoverable exceed the price at which the New Shares were offered.

Section 138 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that no action shall be commenced to enforce these rights more than (a) in the case of any action for rescission, 180 days after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action or (b) in the case of any action, other than an action for rescission, the earlier of (i) 180 days after the purchaser first had knowledge of the fact giving rise to the cause of action or (ii) three years after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action. These rights are in addition to and not in derogation from any other right the purchaser may have.

Certain Canadian income tax considerations. Prospective purchasers of the New Shares should consult their own tax adviser with respect to any taxes payable in connection with the acquisition, holding or disposition of the New Shares as any discussion of taxation related matters in this document is not a comprehensive description and there are a number of substantive Canadian tax compliance requirements for investors in the Provinces.

Language of documents in Canada. Upon receipt of this document, each investor in Canada hereby confirms that it has expressly requested that all documents evidencing or relating in any way to the sale of the New Shares (including for greater certainty any purchase confirmation or any notice) be drawn up in the English language only.
