SECTION 14

COMPANY INDEMNITY AND CONTRIBUTION.

14.1 As consideration for the Underwriters agreeing to provide the services described herein, the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliated companies, as the case may be (collectively, the "Indemnitor") agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters, each Selling Firm and each of their respective subsidiaries and affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, advisors, agents, successors and assigns, and each other person, if any, controlling any of the Underwriters or their affiliates (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties" and individually an "Indemnified Party") from and against any and all expenses, fees, losses, claims, actions (including shareholder actions, derivative actions or otherwise), damages, obligations and liabilities, whether joint or several, of any nature (including the aggregate amount paid in reasonable settlement of any actions, suits, proceedings or claims and the reasonable fees and expenses of their respective counsel and other expenses, but not including any amount for lost profits) (collectively, "Losses") that are incurred in investigating, defending and/or settling any action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim that may be made or threatened against any Indemnified Party (collectively, the "Claims" and individually a "Claim") or to which an Indemnified Party may become subject or otherwise involved in any capacity insofar as the Claims arise out of or are based upon, directly or indirectly, this Agreement together with any Losses that are incurred in enforcing this indemnity. The Indemnitor also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to any Indemnified Party or any person asserting Claims on behalf of or in right of the Indemnitor for or in connection with the services provided under this Agreement (whether performed before or after the Company's execution of the Agreement). This indemnity shall not be available to an Indemnified Party in respect of Losses incurred where a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non-appealable determines that such Losses were caused solely by the, gross negligence, intentional fault or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnitor agrees to waive any right the Indemnitor might have of first requiring the Indemnified Party to proceed against or enforce any other right, power, remedy or security or claim payment from any other person before claiming under this indemnity.

14.2 If for any reason (other than a determination as to any of the events referred to in Section 14.1) this indemnity is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless in respect of any Claim, the Indemnitor shall contribute to the Losses paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnitor on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other hand but also the relative fault of the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party as well as any relevant equitable considerations; provided that the Indemnitor shall in any event contribute to the Losses paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of such Claim, the amount (if any) equal to (a) such amount paid or payable, minus (b) the amount of the Underwriters' Fees received by the Indemnified Party.

14.3 The Indemnitor agrees that in case any legal proceeding shall be brought against, or an investigation is commenced in respect of, the Indemnitor and/or an Indemnified Party and an Indemnified Party or its personnel are required to testify in connection therewith or shall be required to respond to procedures designed to discover information regarding, in connection with or by reason of the Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in connection therewith, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel as well as the reasonable costs (including an amount to reimburse the Indemnified Party for time spent by its personnel in connection therewith at their normal per diem rates together with such disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the personnel of the Indemnified Party in connection therewith) shall be paid by the Indemnitor as they occur.


  • 42 -

14.4 The Indemnified Party will notify the Indemnitor promptly in writing after receiving notice of any Claim against the Indemnified Party or receipt of notice of the commencement of any investigation which is based, directly or indirectly, upon any matter in respect of which indemnification may be sought from the Indemnitor, stating the particulars thereof, will provide copies of all relevant documentation to the Indemnitor and, unless the Indemnitor assumes the defence thereof, will keep the Indemnitor advised of the progress thereof and will discuss all significant actions proposed. The omission to so notify the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability which the Indemnitor may have to an Indemnified Party except only to the extent that any such delay in giving or failure to give notice as herein required materially prejudices the defence of such Claim or results in any material increase in the liability under this indemnity which the Indemnitor would otherwise have incurred had the Indemnified Party not so delayed in giving, or failed to give, the notice required hereunder.

14.5 The Indemnitor shall be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in and, to the extent it may wish to do so, assume the defence of any Claim, provided such defense is assumed within 14 days after receipt of notice of the Claim and conducted by counsel of good standing acceptable to Indemnified Party. Upon the Indemnitor notifying the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to assume the defence and retaining counsel, the Indemnitor shall not be liable to an Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by it in connection with such defence. If such defence is not assumed by the Indemnitor, the Indemnified Parties, throughout the course thereof, shall provide copies of all relevant documentation to the Indemnitor, shall keep the Indemnitor advised of the progress thereof and shall discuss with the Indemnitor all significant actions proposed. If such defence is assumed by the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor throughout the course thereof will provide copies of all relevant documentation to the Indemnified Party, will keep the Indemnified Party advised of the progress thereof, will discuss with the Indemnified Party all significant actions proposed and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the settlement or defense of the Claim.

14.6 Notwithstanding 14.5, any Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the Indemnitor's expense, to separately retain counsel of such Indemnified Party's choice in respect of the defence of any Claim if: (a) the employment of such counsel has been authorized by the Indemnitor; (b) the Indemnitor has not assumed the defence and employed counsel therefor in a reasonable timeframe after receiving notice of such Claim and no later than 14 days after receiving actual notice of the Claim; or (c) counsel retained by the Indemnitor or the Indemnified Party has advised the Indemnified Party that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate for any reason, including for the reason that there may be legal defences available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnitor or that there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party (in any of which events the Indemnitor shall not have the right to assume or direct the defence on such Indemnified Party's behalf).

14.7 The Indemnitor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgement in or otherwise seek to terminate any Claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought under this indemnity (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party to such Claim) unless the Indemnitor has acknowledged in writing that the Indemnified Parties are entitled to be indemnified in respect of such Claim and such settlement compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any liabilities arising out of such Claim without any admission of negligence, misconduct, liability or responsibility by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.


  • 43 -

14.8 The Indemnitor hereby acknowledges that the Underwriters acts as trustee for the other Indemnified Parties of the Indemnitor's covenants under this indemnity and the Underwriters agrees to accept such trust and to hold and enforce such covenants on behalf of such persons.

14.9 The indemnity and contribution obligations of the Indemnitor in this Section 14 shall be in addition to any liability which the Indemnitor may otherwise have (including under this Agreement), shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of any successors, permitted assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Indemnitor, the Underwriters and any other Indemnified Parties. The foregoing provisions shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the completion of professional services rendered hereunder.

SECTION 15

SECTION 17

SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, ETC.

17.1 The representations, warranties, obligations and agreements of the Company and the Underwriters contained herein and in any certificate, instrument, agreement or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the purchase and sale of the Offered Securities shall survive the purchase of the Offered Securities, any subsequent disposition of the Offered Securities by the Underwriters or the


  • 44 -

termination of the Underwriters' obligations and shall continue in full force and effect unaffected by the Closing for the later of: (a) two (2) years from the Closing date; and (b) such maximum period of time as the Underwriters or any purchaser of Offered Securities under the Prospectus may be entitled to commence an action, or exercise a right of rescission, with respect to a misrepresentation contained or incorporated by reference in any of the Offering Documents pursuant to, as applicable, Canadian Securities Laws, civil or common law rights or otherwise, and shall not be limited or prejudiced by any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriters in accordance with the preparation of the Offering Documents or the Distribution of the Offered Securities or otherwise. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, the indemnification and contribution provisions contained in this Agreement shall survive and continue in full force and effect indefinitely, subject to the limitation requirements of applicable Laws. The Company agrees that the Underwriters shall not be presumed to know of the existence of a claim against the Company under this Agreement or any certificate, instrument, agreement or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the purchase and sale of the Offered Securities as a result of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters in accordance with the preparation of the Offering Documents or the Distribution of the Offered Securities or otherwise.

ACTION BY UNDERWRITERS

26.1 All steps which must or may be taken by the Underwriters in connection with the Closing, with the exception of the matters relating to: (i) termination of purchase obligations, (ii) waiver and extension, and (iii) indemnification, contribution and settlement, may be taken by Canaccord on behalf of the Underwriters. The rights and obligations of the Underwriters under this Agreement shall be several and neither joint nor joint and several.

SECTION 27

MISCELLANEOUS

27.1 The parties shall be entitled to rely on delivery of a facsimile or PDF copy of this Agreement and acceptance by each such party of any such facsimile or PDF copy shall be legally effective to create a valid and binding agreement between the parties hereto in accordance with the terms hereof.

27.2 This Agreement and the other documents referred to in this Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Underwriters and the Company relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior agreements among those parties with respect to their respective rights and obligations in respect of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

27.3 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

27.4 No waiver of any provision of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other provision (whether or not similar). No waiver will be binding unless executed in writing by the party to be bound by the waiver. A party's failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right. A single or partial exercise of any right will not preclude a party from any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right it may have.

27.5 In connection with the distribution of the Offered Securities, the Underwriters may affect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Shares at levels other than those which might otherwise prevail in the open market, but in each case as permitted by Canadian Securities Laws. Such stabilizing transactions, if any, may be discontinued by the Underwriters at any time.

27.6 The Company acknowledges that each of the Underwriters is a full service securities firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and financial advisory services and that in the ordinary course of its trading and brokerage activities, the Underwriters and/or any of their affiliates at any time may hold long or short positions, and may trade or otherwise effect transactions, for its own account or the accounts of customers, in debt or equity securities of the Company or any other company that may be involved in a transaction or related derivative securities.

27.7 The Company acknowledges and agrees that: (a) the purchase and sale of the Offered Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm's-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Underwriters; (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction the Underwriters are acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company; (c) the Underwriters have not assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favour of the Company with respect to the Offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Underwriters have advised

or are concurrently advising the Company on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; and (d) the Company has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Company agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriters have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

27.8 The Company acknowledges and agrees that all written and oral opinions, advice, analyses and materials provided by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and its engagement hereunder are intended solely for the Company's benefit and the Company's internal use only with respect to the Offering and the Company agrees that no such opinion, advice, analysis or material will be used for any other purpose whatsoever or reproduced, disseminated, quoted from or referred to in whole or in part at any time, in any manner or for any purpose, without the Underwriters' prior written consent in each specific instance. Any advice or opinions given by the Underwriters hereunder will be made subject to, and will be based upon, such assumptions, limitations, qualifications, and reservations as the Underwriters, in their sole judgment, deem necessary or prudent in the circumstances. The Underwriters expressly disclaim any liability or responsibility by reason of any unauthorized use, publication, distribution of or reference to any oral or written opinions or advice or materials provided by the Underwriters or any unauthorized reference to the Underwriters or this Agreement.
