issued in connection with the Nouveau-Monde Private Placement will be
exercisable at a price of $0.45 per Nouveau-Monde Common Share; (iii) the
agent's options to be granted to eligible investment dealers pursuant to the
Nouveau-Monde Private Placement will each entitle the holder to purchase one
Nouveau-Monde Common Share at a price of $0.45 per Nouveau-Monde Common Share;
(iv) each of the issued and outstanding Nouveau-Monde Common Shares, including
the 12,886,800 Nouveau-Monde Common Shares issued and outstanding prior to the

Amalco (each an "Amalco Common Share"); (v) each common share of Tucson (a
"Tucson Common Share") will be exchanged for one (1) Amalco Common Share; (vi)
the Nouveau-Monde share purchase warrants to acquire up to 8,979,400

Nouveau-Monde Common Share (the "Nouveau-Monde Existing Warrants") will be
exchanged for one (1) replacement warrant of Amalco; (vii) each outstanding
Nouveau-Monde share purchase warrant issued in connection with the Nouveau-Monde
Private Placement will be exchanged for one (1) replacement warrant of Amalco;
and (viii) each outstanding agent's option granted to eligible investment
dealers pursuant to the Nouveau-Monde Private Placement will be exchanged for
one (1) replacement agent's option of Amalco.
