The NSR may be reduced to a minimum 2-per-cent NSR at the option of either the vendors or the company in exchange for the issuance of one million common shares of Noka for each 1-per-cent. The royalty buyback may be exercised in whole or in part in one-million-share increments per 1-per-cent NSR, and any share issuances shall be prorated between the vendors in accordance with their interests in the NSR.

All securities to be issued pursuant to the transaction will be subject to resale restrictions expiring four months and one day from their date of issuance.
