10. Commercial Copies

The Company shall cause commercial copies of the Final Prospectus in the English and French languages and the U.S. Final Placement Memorandum to be delivered to the Underwriters without charge, in such quantities and in such cities as the Underwriters may reasonably request by written or oral instructions to the printer of such documents.

Subject to the termination provisions contained in Section 19, if a material change with respect to the Company or a change in a material fact contained in the Prospectus or the U.S. Placement Memorandum occurs prior to the Closing Date or, if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised, the Option Closing Date, the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as applicable, shall be, unless the Company and the Underwriters otherwise agree in writing or unless otherwise required under Canadian Securities Laws, the sixth calendar day following the later of:

23

  • (a) the date on which all applicable filings or other requirements of Canadian Securities Laws with respect to such material change or change in a material fact have been complied with in all Qualifying Jurisdictions and any appropriate receipts obtained for such filings and notice of such filings from the Company or its counsel have been received by the Underwriters; and

  • (i) any filing made by the Company of information relating to the offering of the Shares with any securities exchange or Governmental Authority in Canada or the United States or any other jurisdiction;

  • (ii) any material change (actual, anticipated, contemplated or threatened, financial or otherwise) with respect to the Company;

  • (iii) any material fact which has arisen or has been discovered and would have been required to have been stated in the Final Prospectus, the U.S. Final Placement Memorandum or any Prospectus Amendment or amendment to the U.S. Final Placement Memorandum had the fact arisen or been discovered on or prior to the date of such document; and

  • (iv) any change in any material fact (which for the purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to include the disclosure of any previously undisclosed material fact) contained in the Final Prospectus, the U.S. Final Placement Memorandum or any Prospectus Amendment or amendment to the U.S. Final Placement Memorandum which fact or change is, or may be, of such a nature as to render any statement in the Final Prospectus, the U.S. Final Placement Memorandum or any Prospectus Amendment or amendment to the U.S. Final Placement Memorandum misleading or untrue in any material respect or which would result in a misrepresentation in the Final Prospectus or any Prospectus Amendment (or which would result in the U.S. Final Placement Memorandum containing any untrue statement of a material

24

fact or omission of any material fact that is necessary to make a statement contained in the U.S. Final Placement Memorandum, in the light of the circumstances under which it was made, not misleading within the meaning of U.S. Securities Laws) or which would result in the Final Prospectus or any Prospectus Amendment or in the U.S. Final Placement Memorandum or any amendment to the U.S. Final Placement Memorandum not complying (to the extent that such compliance is required) with Canadian Securities Laws or U.S. Securities Laws, respectively, in each case, as at any time up to and including the later of the Closing Date and the date of completion of the distribution of the Shares.

The Company shall in good faith discuss with the Lead Underwriters any fact or change in circumstances (actual, anticipated, contemplated or threatened, financial or otherwise) which is of such a nature that there is reasonable doubt whether written notice need be given under this Section 13.

14. Change in Canadian Securities Laws

If during the period of distribution of the Shares there shall be any change in Canadian Securities Laws which requires the filing of a Prospectus Amendment, the Company shall, to the satisfaction of the Underwriters, acting reasonably, promptly prepare and file such Prospectus Amendment with the appropriate regulator in each of the Qualifying Jurisdictions where such filing is required.

  • (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state in any Indemnified Disclosure Document or any certificate of the Company delivered pursuant to this Agreement, any material fact required to be stated in such document or necessary to make any statement in such document not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it was made;

provided that the rights of indemnity contained in this Section 20 will not inure to the benefit of an Indemnified Party in respect of a Claim if the person asserting the Claim, other than a person to which Shares were offered and sold in the United States, was not provided by or on behalf of the Underwriters with a copy furnished promptly by the Company of any Prospectus or Prospectus Amendment which would have corrected any misrepresentation which is the basis of the Claim and which was required under Canadian Securities Laws to be delivered to that person by the Underwriters or Selling Firms.

Notification of Claims

If any matter or thing contemplated by Section 20(a) (any such matter or thing being referred to as a “ Claim ”) is asserted against any person or company in respect of which indemnification is or might reasonably be considered to be provided, such person or company (the “ Indemnified Party ”) will notify the Company as soon as possible of the particulars of such Claim (but the omission to so notify the Company of any Claim shall not affect the Company’s liability except to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced by that failure, and then only to such extent). The Company shall assume the defence of any suit brought to enforce such Claim in respect of which indemnification is sought under Section 20(a), provided, however, that

  • (i) the defence shall be conducted through legal counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably, and

(c) Right of Indemnity in Favour of Others

With respect to any Indemnified Party who is not a party to this Agreement, the Underwriters shall obtain and hold the rights and benefits of this Section 20 in trust for and on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

(a) Rights of Contribution

In order to provide for a just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity provided in Section 20 would otherwise be available in accordance with its terms but is, for any reason, held to be unavailable to or unenforceable by the Underwriters or enforceable otherwise than in accordance with its terms, the Company and the Underwriters shall contribute to the aggregate of all claims, expenses, costs and liabilities and all losses (other than loss of profits or consequential damages) of a nature contemplated by Section 20 in such proportions as are appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Underwriters from the offering of Shares, as contemplated by this Agreement as well as the relative fault of the Company and the Underwriters with respect to such Claim and any other equitable considerations, whether or not the Company has been sued together with the Underwriters or sued separately from the Underwriters, provided, however that:

  • (i) the Underwriters shall not in any event be liable to contribute, in the aggregate, any amounts in excess of the aggregate Underwriting Fee actually received by the Underwriters from the Company under this Agreement;

Rights of Contribution in Addition to Other Rights

The rights to contribution provided in this Section 21 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other right to contribution which the Underwriters may have by statute or otherwise at law.

(d)

Notice

If the Underwriters have reason to believe that a claim for contribution may arise, they shall give the Company notice of such claim in writing, as soon as reasonably possible, but failure to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to the Underwriters under this Section 21.
