TEMPORARY ORDER
(Sections 127(1) and (5))
WHEREAS it appears to the Ontario Securities Commission that:
- Compushare Transfer Corporation is a Delaware corporation that operates out of Toronto as a transfer agent;
- Victoria Gerber is the President of Compushare;
- Svetlana Kousnetsova owns the premises out which Compushare operates and appears to be involved in the operation of Compushare;
- Irwin Boock, is a resident of Ontario and, with the assistance of Compushare and its principals, appears to have usurped the corporate identities of the following defunct or dormant publicly traded companies:

- Federated Purchaser, Inc. (“Federated Purchaser”);
- First National Entertainment Corporation (“First National”);
- TCC Industries, Inc. (“TCC Industries”); and
- Enerbrite Technologies Group Inc. (“Enerbrite”).
- It also appears that Boock may have caused these companies to issue shares for trading in the over-the-counter securities market via the Pink Sheets;
- Staff of the Commission ("Staff") are conducting an investigation into the conduct described herein and it appears that Boock, Compushare, and its principals, former principals and others, including Gerber and Kousnetsova, may have engaged in acts, practices or courses of conduct relating to the securities of the above listed companies that they knew or reasonably ought to have known perpetrated a fraud on a person or company contrary to subsection 126.1(b) of the Act;
- The Commission is of the opinion that the time required to conclude a hearing could be prejudicial to the public interest; and
