        sale to investors in Alberta without registration or a prospectus and
        without use of an applicable exemption under Alberta securities laws;
    -   Salad Greenhouse and SG Alberta offering memorandums filed by the
        named parties contain both misrepresentations of material facts and
        other statements prohibited under Alberta securities laws; and
    -   the named parties made filings with the ASC that contained
        information which is misleading or untrue.
    

The next appearance has been scheduled for 9 a.m. on Friday, August 6, 2010 in the ASC Hearing Room on the 6th Floor, 300-5th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta. At that time, an ASC panel will consider extending the interim order.
