10. The Applicant is not in default of any of the rules, regulations or policies of the TSX-V.

11. The TSX-V requires all of its listed issuers, which are not otherwise reporting issuers in Ontario, to assess whether they have a significant connection with Ontario, as defined in Policy 1.1 of the TSX-V Corporate Finance Manual, and, upon first becoming aware that is has a significant connection to Ontario, to promptly make a bona fide application to the Commission to be deemed a reporting issuer in Ontario.

12. The Applicant has a significant connection to Ontario since more than 20% of the total number of equity securities of the Applicant are owned by registered and beneficial shareholders resident in Ontario.

13. The Applicant does not have a shareholder which holds sufficient securities of the Applicant to affect materially the control of the Applicant.

As a consequence, certain technology belonging to the Applicant, including proprietary rights, was transferred to a new corporation and the Applicant continued with limited cash balances and certain tax attributes arising from its expenditures on the development of the since-transferred technologies.

(a) any cease trade or similar orders, or orders that denied access to any exemptions under Ontario securities law, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, within the preceding 10 years; or

(b) any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, or other proceedings, arrangements or compromises with creditors, or the appointment of a receiver, receiver manager or trustee, within the preceding 10 years.

18. The Applicant will remit all participation fees due and payable by it pursuant to Ontario Securities Commission Rule 13-502 Fees by no later than two business days from the date of this order.

DATED at Toronto this 17th day of June, 2009.
