nominates a candidate for election to the AQM Board at a general meeting of
shareholders the Company is obligated to include such candidate in proxy
materials sent to shareholders and use its commercially reasonable best efforts
to cause the election of such candidate to the AQM Board. Where Teck nominates a
candidate it is obligated to vote its shares in favour of candidates nominated
for election to the AQM Board by the Company. The common shares issued under the
Private Placement are subject to a four month hold period expiring on March 16,
