6. SUSPENSION OF SALES

  • 6.1 At any time while a Placement Notice is pending or effective (and not suspended), the Company or the Agent may, and, upon commencement of a No Trade Period, the Company shall, by written notice to the other Party addressed and sent by electronic mail (or such other method mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties) to its Designated Representatives, temporarily or indefinitely suspend any sale or further sale of Placement Shares under a Placement Notice, which notice shall be effective immediately, unless otherwise specified in the notice; provided, however, that any such suspension shall not affect any Party's obligations with respect to any Placement Shares sold hereunder prior to the receipt of such notice. Any such notice shall set out the duration of such suspension or provide that such suspension is indefinite until further notice is provided by such Party. For greater certainty, in the event that the Agent is informed by the Company of the occurrence of one or more of the events described in Section 9.1(d), the Agent shall have the right to immediately suspend the sale of any Placement Shares. For greater certainty, a Placement Notice may specify a period or periods during which Placement Shares may not be sold, and in such case, the sale of Placement Shares under such Placement Notice shall be suspended during any such periods identified, and the Placement Notice itself shall constitute notice of the suspension(s) as contemplated above.
  • 6.2 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any sale of Placement Shares made but not yet settled before a notice of suspension is given pursuant to Section 6.1 shall be settled in accordance with the provisions of Section 7, and the obligations of the Parties with respect to settling any such sale shall not be affected by the suspension.
  • 6.3 Any notice of suspension provided pursuant to Section 6.1, including the reason for such notice of suspension, will be kept strictly confidential by the Agent and its affiliates and any Person acting on its behalf, unless: (i) such information is or becomes generally available to the public other than

as a result of a disclosure by the Agent in violation of this Agreement; (ii) the disclosure of such information is expressly permitted, in writing, by the Company; or (iii) the disclosure of such information is required by applicable Securities Laws to which the Agent is subject or by order of a Governmental Body and pursuant to which the Agent is required to disclose such information.

7. SETTLEMENT AND DELIVERY OF PLACEMENT SHARES

  • 7.1 Settlement for any sale of Placement Shares on the TSX or any other Marketplace shall occur on the second Trading Day (or such earlier day as is then current industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date on which the sale is made (each such Trading Day being a "Settlement Date").
  • 7.2 The amount of proceeds to be delivered to the Company on a Settlement Date (the "Net Proceeds"), payable against receipt by the Agent of the Placement Shares sold as provided herein, shall be equal to the aggregate sales price received by the Agent at which such Placement Shares were sold, less the Agent's Fee payable by the Company in respect of such sales.
  • 7.3 On each Settlement Date, the Company will issue and deliver (or cause to be issued and delivered) to the Agent the Placement Shares sold by the Agent against delivery by the Agent to the Company of the Net Proceeds from the sale of such Placement Shares, all in accordance with the Settlement Procedures.
  • 7.4 If the Company defaults in its obligation to issue and deliver the Placement Shares on a Settlement Date, the Company agrees that:
    • (a) in the event the Agent has delivered to the Company the Net Proceeds from the sales of the Placement Shares on the applicable Settlement Date in accordance with the Settlement Procedures prior to the occurrence of such default, the Company will immediately return the full amount of such Net Proceeds to the Agent; and
    • (b) in the event that the Net Proceeds from sales of the Placement Shares are returned to the Agent pursuant to Section 7.4(a), provided that the Agent has delivered the Placement Shares to purchasers thereof on the applicable Settlement Date by way of an alternative settlement method, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to issue and deliver (or cause to be issued and delivered) to the Agent an equivalent number of Offered Shares equal to the Placement Shares promptly in accordance with the Settlement Procedures, and the Agent will promptly thereafter deliver to the Company the amount of the Net Proceeds from such sales less the amount of any costs directly incurred by the Agent arising out of or in connection with the late delivery of such Placement Shares (including, reasonable legal fees and expenses and any commission, discount or other compensation to which it would otherwise be entitled absent such default), together with reasonable particulars of any such costs, or, at the election of the Agent, such costs may be separately invoiced to the Company.
  • 7.5 The Agent covenants and agrees to copy or otherwise include the Company on all correspondence between the Agent and the Transfer Agent, in connection with or arising from or relating to the settlement (electronic or otherwise) of any sale of Placement Shares hereunder, and further, shall be responsible for taking all actions required to be taken by it within the applicable time periods to ensure that all sales of Placement Shares hereunder are settled without default in accordance with existing industry practice for regular-way trading.

In addition, during such period, the Company shall in good faith discuss with the Agent and its counsel any change in circumstances (actual or anticipated) relating to the business, affairs, operations, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise) or capital of the Company or its Subsidiaries, if any, which is of such a nature that there is or could be reasonable doubt as to whether any notice need to be given to the Agent pursuant to this Section and, in any event, prior to filing any Supplementary Material;

Subject to the foregoing, such events of Force Majeure shall include strikes, lock-outs, work stoppages, work slow-downs, industrial disturbances, storms, fires, floods, landslides, snowslides, earthquakes, explosions, lightning, tempest, accidents, epidemics, acts of war (whether declared or undeclared), threats of war, actions of terrorists, blockades, riots, insurrections, civil commotions, public demonstrations, revolution, sabotage or vandalism, acts of God, any laws, rules, regulations, orders, directives, restraints or other actions issued, imposed or taken by any Governmental Body following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and inability to obtain, maintain or renew or delay in obtaining, maintaining or renewing necessary permits or approvals (after using reasonable commercial efforts to do so) following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, or any cause similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that a Party's own lack of funds or other financial problems shall in no event constitute Force Majeure in respect of such Party.

19. GENERAL

19.1 Except as required by law or the policies of the TSX (which the Parties acknowledge will, among other things, require this Agreement to be filed on SEDAR and a press release regarding this Agreement, which press release shall be approved by the Agent), no public announcement or press release concerning this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may be made by a Party without the prior consent and approval of the other Party, which consent and approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

  • 19.2 This Agreement (including all schedules attached hereto), any Placement Notices issued pursuant hereto and any Settlement Procedures agreed to by the Parties constitute the entire agreement between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and supersede all other prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations and undertakings (both written and oral) between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof.
  • 19.3 No amendment to this Agreement shall be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and executed by the Parties. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement will be effective or binding unless made in writing and signed by the Party purporting to give the same and, unless otherwise provided, will be limited to the specific breach waived.
  • 19.4 If any one or more of the provisions hereof, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such provision shall be given full force and effect to the fullest possible extent that it is valid, legal and enforceable, and the remainder of the provisions hereof shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision was not and had never been contained herein, but only to the extent that giving effect to such provision and the remainder of the terms and provisions hereof shall be in accordance with the intent of the Parties as reflected in this Agreement.
  • 19.5 Without limiting Section 19.4, if one or more of the provisions hereof conflicts with any legal or regulatory requirement to which this Agreement and the relationship of the Parties hereunder are properly subject, then such legal or regulatory requirement shall prevail and the Parties shall forthwith meet and negotiate in good faith the manner in which this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent required to eliminate any such conflict.
  • 19.6 The rights and remedies of the Parties hereunder are cumulative and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or otherwise. No single or partial exercise by a Party of any right or remedy precludes or otherwise affects the exercise of any other right or remedy to which that Party shall be entitled.
  • 19.7 Each Party shall from time to time execute and deliver all such further documents and instruments and do all acts and things as any of the other Parties may reasonably require to effectively carry out or better evidence or perfect the full intent and meaning of this Agreement.
  • 19.8 Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.
  • 19.9 This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed Agreement by one Party to the other may be made by facsimile or other electronic transmission.

If the foregoing correctly sets forth the understanding between the Company and the Agent, please confirm your acceptance and agreement by executing a copy of this letter in the space provided below for that purpose and delivering the same to the Agent, whereupon this letter shall constitute a binding agreement between the Company and the Agent.

Yours truly,

provided, however, that the indemnity in this Section 1.1 shall not apply to Claims arising out of or based, directly or indirectly, on any untrue statement, omission or misrepresentation, or any alleged untrue statement, omission or misrepresentation, made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to the Agent and furnished in writing to the Company by the Agent expressly for use in the Prospectus, or in any other material or document filed under any Securities Laws or delivered by or on behalf of the Agent pursuant to this Agreement, or in the event and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment from which no appeal can be made or a regulatory authority in a final ruling from which no appeal can be made shall determine that the Claim resulted from the fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Indemnified Party claiming indemnity (provided that for greater certainty, an Indemnified Party's failure to conduct such reasonable investigation so as to provide reasonable grounds for a belief that the Prospectus contained no misrepresentation (or, colloquially, to permit the Indemnified Party to sustain a "due diligence defence" under Securities Laws) shall not constitute "fraud", "willful misconduct" or "gross negligence" for purposes of this Section 1.1 or otherwise disentitle an Indemnified Party from claiming indemnification). This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have.

  • 1.2 Actions Against Parties; Notification. Each Indemnified Party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to the Indemnifying Party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. If any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of its commencement, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it elects by delivering written notice to the Indemnified Party promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action from the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of the action, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses except as provided below and except for the reasonable costs of investigation subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (a) the employment of counsel by the Indemnified Party has been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party, (b) the Indemnified Party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other Indemnified Parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, (c) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on written advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party) between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party), or (d) the Indemnifying Party has not in fact employed counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. All such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party promptly as they are incurred. In no event shall the Indemnifying Party be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local or special counsel) separate from their own counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. Neither the Indemnifying Party nor any of the Indemnified Parties shall, without the prior written consent of each Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 1 or Section 2 of this Schedule F (whether or not the Indemnified Parties are actual or potential parties thereto), provided that the Indemnifying Party may consent to any such settlement, compromise or consent, without the consent of the Indemnified Parties, where such settlement, compromise or consent (y) includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (z) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.
  • 1.3 If any legal proceedings shall be instituted against the Company or if any regulatory authority or stock exchange shall carry out an investigation of the Company and, in either case, any Indemnified Party is required to testify, or respond to procedures designed to discover information, in connection

with or by reason of the services performed by the Agent hereunder, then the Indemnified Parties may employ their own legal counsel and the Company shall pay and reimburse the Indemnified Parties for the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements (on a full indemnity basis) of such legal counsel, the other expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with such proceedings or investigation and a fee at the normal per diem rate for any director, officer or employee of the Agent involved in the preparation for or attendance at such proceedings or investigation. However, the Company shall not, in connection with any such proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related proceedings arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees or expenses of more than one separate law firm in respect of all such Indemnified Parties.

2. CONTRIBUTION

  • 2.1 If the indemnification provided for in Section 1 above is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any Claims referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Party in respect of which indemnity has been sought shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such Claims incurred by such Indemnified Party, as incurred, (a) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agent on the other hand from the offering of the Offered Shares pursuant to this Agreement or (b) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (a) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Agent on the other hand in connection with the statement, omission or misrepresentation or the matters referred to in Section 1.1(b) and Section 1.1(c) above, which resulted in such Claim, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
  • 2.2 The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agent on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Offered Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total Net Proceeds from the sale of the Offered Shares pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total compensation (before deducting expenses) received by the Agent from the sale of the Offered Shares on behalf of the Company.
  • 2.3 The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Agent on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation relates to information supplied or which ought to have been supplied by the Company or by the Agent and the Parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, omission or misrepresentation.
  • 2.4 The Company and the Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 2. The aggregate amount of the Claims incurred by an Indemnified Party and referred to above in this Section 2 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission or misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation. The rights to contribution provided in this Section 2 shall be in addition to and without prejudice to any other right to contribution which the Agent may have.
  • 2.5 Notwithstanding the provision of this Section 2, the Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the Agent's Fee received by it in respect of the sale of Offered Shares on behalf of the Company and no party who has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment to have engaged in any fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or gross negligence

(provided that for greater certainty, the Agent's failure to conduct such reasonable investigation so as to provide reasonable grounds for a belief that the Prospectus contained no misrepresentation (or colloquially, to permit the Agent to sustain a "due diligence defence" under Securities Laws) shall not constitute "gross negligence") for purposes of this Section 2.5 or otherwise disentitle an Indemnified Party from claiming indemnification) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who has not been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment to have engaged in such fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or gross negligence.

  • 2.6 For purposes of this Section 2, each Person, if any, who controls the Agent and each affiliate of the Agent, and any directors, officers, partners, employees or agents of the Agent, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Agent, subject in each case to the provisions of this Section 2.
  • 2.7 Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this Section 2, will notify any such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify will not relieve that party or parties from who contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have under this Section 2 except to the extent that the failure to so notify such other party or parties materially prejudiced the substantive rights or defenses of the party or parties from whom contribution is sought. Except for a settlement entered into pursuant to Section 1.2 above, no party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent if such consent is required pursuant to Section 1.2 above.

3. THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES

3.1 It is the intention of the parties hereto that the directors, officers, partners, employees and agents of the Agent and the affiliates of the Agent (the "Agent Beneficiaries") shall be entitled to the benefit of the covenants of the Company under Section 1 or Section 2 of this Schedule F, and for this purpose the Company hereby: (a) appoints the Agent, and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment, as trustee of the covenants of the Company under Section 1 or Section 2 for the benefit of the Agent Beneficiaries; and (b) acknowledges and agrees that the Agent shall be entitled to enforce such covenants on behalf of the Agent Beneficiaries notwithstanding that none of the Agent Beneficiaries is a direct party to this Agreement.
