Each Initial Unit will consist of one Common Share (as hereinafter defined) (a " Unit Share ") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole Common Share purchase warrant, a " Warrant ").

Upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Underwriters hereby agree to act as underwriter and purchase from the Company severally, and not jointly, nor jointly and severally, in their respective percentages set out in Section 2.15 below, and by its acceptance hereof, the Company agrees to sell to the Underwriters, 3,200,000 Initial Units on the Closing Date, at a price of $3.15 per Initial Unit (the " Offering Price "), for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $10,080,000.

The Company hereby grants to the Underwriters an option (the " Over-Allotment Option ") to purchase severally, and not jointly, nor jointly and severally, up to an additional 480,000 units of the Company (the " Over-Allotment Units ") at a price of $3.15 per Over- Allotment Unit for additional gross proceeds of up to $1,512,000, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

The Over-Allotment Option may be exercised by the Underwriters: (a) to acquire Over-Allotment Units at the Offering Price, (b) to acquire OverAllotment Unit Shares at a price of $2.95 per Over-Allotment Unit Shares, (c) to acquire Over-Allotment Warrants at a price of $0.40 per Over-Allotment Warrant, or (d) to acquire any combination of OverAllotment Units, Over-Allotment Unit Shares and Over-Allotment Warrants, so long as the aggregate number of Over-Allotment Unit Shares and Over-Allotment Warrants that may be issued under such OverAllotment Option does not exceed an aggregate of 480,000 Over-Allotment Unit Shares and 240,000 OverAllotment Warrants. The Over-Allotment Units, Over-Allotment Unit Shares and Over-Allotment Warrants are collectively referred to herein as the " Additional Securities ". If the Underwriters elect to exercise such Over-Allotment Option, the Underwriters shall notify the Company in writing not later than the date that is 30 days following the Closing Date, which notice shall specify the number and type of Additional Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters and the date (the " Option Closing Date ") on which such Additional Securities are to be purchased.

Upon the furnishing of the notice, the Underwriters shall severally (and not jointly, nor jointly and severally) be committed to

purchase the Additional Securities in the respective percentages set out in Section 2.15 and the Company shall be committed to issue and sell in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the number and type of Additional Securities indicated in the notice. Additional Securities may be purchased solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments made in connection with the Offering of the Initial Units, if any, and for market stabilization purposes.

The Company hereby agrees to waive any right it may have of first requiring the Indemnified Parties to proceed against or enforce any other right, power, remedy, security or claim payment from any other person before claiming under this indemnity.

(b) The foregoing indemnity shall cease to apply if and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non-appealable shall determine that such losses to which the Indemnified Party may be subject were directly and primarily caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct by the Indemnified Party.

42 -
(g) If for any reason (other than the occurrence of any of the events itemized in Section 2.14(b) above), the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold any Indemnified Party harmless, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by any Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, action, damage, obligation, penalty, judgement, award, liability, cost, disbursement or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other hand but also the relative fault of the Company and the Indemnified Party, as well as any relevant equitable considerations; provided that the Company shall in any event contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, action, damage, obligation, penalty, judgement, award, liability, cost, disbursement or expense and any excess of such amount over the amount of the fees received by the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement. The Company agrees for purposes of this paragraph that the relative benefits to the Company and the Underwriters of any contemplated Offering (whether or not consummated) shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total value paid or issued or contemplated to be paid or issued to or by the Company or its security holders in connection with such Offering bears to the fees paid or payable to the Underwriters under the Agreement.
(h) The indemnity and contribution obligations of the Company under this Section 2.14 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any liability which the Company may otherwise have at law or in equity, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company and the Indemnified Parties. This Section 2.14 shall survive the completion of the professional services rendered under this Agreement or any termination of this Agreement.
(i) With respect to any person who may be indemnified by this Section 2.14 and is not a party to this Agreement, the rights and benefits of this Section 2.14 are hereby granted to such person and CFCC is hereby appointed as trustee of such rights and benefits for such person, and CFCC hereby accepts such trust and agrees to hold such rights and benefits for and on behalf of such person.

In such case, the Commission realized by the Underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by the Purchasers for the Offered Securities is less than the gross proceeds to be paid by the Underwriters to the Company for the Offered Securities and such reduced-price sales will not affect the net proceeds to be received by the Company under the Offering.
