If the Underwriters elect to exercise all or any portion of the Over-Allotment Option from time to time, the Underwriters shall provide written notice to the Company not later than the two Business Days (as defined herein) prior to the Over-Allotment Closing Date (as defined herein) specifying the aggregate number of Additional Units, Unit Shares and/or Warrants, to be purchased by the Underwriters and the date on which such Additional Units, Unit Shares and/or Warrants are to be purchased (an "Over-Allotment Closing Date") and the Company shall be obligated to issue and sell such number of Additional Units, Unit Shares and/or Warrants on such Over-Allotment Closing Date. Such date may be the same as the Closing Date but not earlier than the Closing Date nor later than 30 days following the Closing Date.

In connection with the issuance of the Broker Warrants and the Broker Warrant Shares (as defined herein), as the case may be, each of the Underwriters represents and warrants that (i) it is not a U.S. Person and it is not acquiring the Broker Warrants and the Broker Warrant Shares in the United States, or on behalf of a U.S. Person or a person in the United States, (ii) this Agreement was executed and delivered outside the United States, (iii) it is acquiring the Broker Warrants and the Broker Warrant Shares as principal for its own account and not for the benefit of any other person, and (iv) it will not engage in any Directed Selling Efforts (as defined in Schedule "A" attached hereto) with respect to any Broker Warrant Shares.

The Underwriters shall have the right to invite one or more investment dealers (each, a "Selling Firm") to form a selling group to participate in the Offering and the Underwriters have the exclusive right to control all compensation arrangements between the members of the selling group, except as otherwise provided herein. The Underwriters shall ensure that any Selling Firm shall agree with the Underwriters, for the benefit of the Underwriters and the Company, to comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and to provide the representations and warranties given by the Underwriters and to comply with the covenants and obligations given by the Underwriters herein.

Subject to Section 11, in consideration of the Underwriters' services to be rendered in connection with the Offering, the Company shall pay to the Underwriters the Underwriters' Commission (as defined herein) and issue to the Underwriters the Broker Warrants.

(f) The Underwriters, and any Selling Firm appointed hereunder, will use their commercially reasonable efforts to (i) meet the minimum distribution requirements for the listing of the Unit Shares, Warrant Shares and Broker Warrant Shares on the TSX; and (ii) complete the distribution of the Units as promptly as possible after the Closing Time. The Underwriters will notify the Company as soon as possible when, in the Underwriters' opinion, the Underwriters and the Selling Firms have ceased the distribution of the Units and, within 30 days after completion of the distribution, the Underwriters will provide the Company, in writing, with a breakdown of the number of Unit Shares and Warrants distributed in each of the Qualifying Jurisdictions by the Underwriters where that breakdown is required by a Securities Commission for the purpose of calculating fees payable to, or making filings with, that Securities Commission.

(g) Without affecting the firm obligation of the Underwriters to purchase the Units at the Offering Price in accordance with this Agreement (assuming due satisfaction of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement), after the Underwriters have made commercially reasonable effort to sell all of the Units offered under the Prospectus Supplement at the Offering Price, the price payable by the purchasers may be decreased by the Underwriters and further changed from time to time to an amount not greater than the Offering Price in compliance with Canadian Securities Laws. Such decrease in the price payable by the purchasers will decrease the Underwriters' Commission to be paid by the Company to the Underwriters, so that the net proceeds of the Offering to be received by the Company will not be reduced. The Underwriters will inform the Company if the price payable by the purchasers is decreased.

No Underwriter will be liable for any act or omission of the other Underwriter, such other Underwriter's Affiliates or any selling group member appointed by such other Underwriter, as the case may be.

(2) Each Underwriter (on behalf of itself, its Affiliates, its representatives and selling group members appointed by such Underwriter) hereby severally, and neither jointly, nor jointly and severally, represents and warrants to the Company, and acknowledges that the Company is relying upon each of such representations and warranties in entering into the transactions contemplated hereby, that:

(a) Compliance with Securities Laws. In respect of the Offering the Underwriters and their Affiliates, representatives and selling group members have conducted and will conduct their activities in connection with the Offering and the offer for sale to the public, and the sale, of the Units in compliance with all Applicable Securities Laws and the provisions of this Agreement, and the Underwriter is duly qualified in accordance with Applicable Securities Laws to solicit and procure subscriptions for the Units in the Qualifying Jurisdictions.

(b) Corporate Existence. The Underwriter (i) is a valid and subsisting corporation, duly incorporated and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it was incorporated, (ii) holds all licenses and permits that are required to carry on its business in the manner in which such business is carried out, (iii) has good and sufficient right and authority to enter into this Agreement and to complete the transactions contemplated in this Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein, including the offering of the Units contemplated hereby, and (iv) it is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined


  • 37 -

under National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions by virtue of being a person registered under Applicable Securities Laws and is acquiring the Broker Warrants as principal for its own account and not for the benefit of any other person.

(c) Order Compliance. In connection with any offer or sale of the Units to U.S. Purchasers, the Underwriters, their Affiliates (including their U.S. Affiliates), their representatives, and selling group members and any other person acting on its or their behalf, have complied with and shall comply with (i) any applicable or effective order of the SEC; and (ii) any applicable and effective no-action letter of the SEC.

An Underwriter will not be liable to the Company under this Section 9(2) with respect to a breach under this Section 9(2) by another Underwriter, such other Underwriter's Affiliates or any selling group member appointed by such other Underwriter, as the case may be.

Section 10 Closing

(1) Location of Closing. The Closing will be completed electronically at the Closing Time on the Closing Date, as applicable, or in such other manner as the Underwriters and the Company may agree.

(2) Securities and Proceeds. At the Closing Time on the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement: (i) the Company shall deliver to the Underwriters the Unit Shares and Warrants comprising the Units in electronic, uncertificated or certificated form (which shall include (A) one or more global certificates representing the Unit Shares and Warrants in the name of CDS Clearing and Depositary Services Inc., or its nominee, or (B) with respect to U.S. Purchasers physical certificates or a Direct Registration System ("DRS") advice bearing the applicable U.S. restrictive legends representing the Unit Shares and the Warrants) as the Underwriters may direct prior to the Closing Date; (ii) the Underwriters shall deliver to the Company the gross proceeds of the Offering less the Underwriters' Commission, the expenses of the Underwriters payable in accordance with Section 15 and any amounts paid directly to the Company by a substituted purchaser; and (iii) the Company shall deliver to the Underwriters such further documentation as may be contemplated herein or as the Securities Commissions or TSX may reasonably require.

(3) Exercise of Over-Allotment Option. In the event the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in accordance with its terms, at or prior to each Over-Allotment Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement: (i) the Company shall deliver to the Underwriters the Additional Units, Unit Shares and/or Warrants purchased in connection with the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option in electronic, uncertificated or certificated form which shall include (A) one or more global certificates representing the Unit Shares and Warrants in the name of CDS Clearing and Depositary Services Inc., or its nominee, or (B) with respect to U.S. Purchasers physical certificates or a DRS advice bearing the applicable U.S. restrictive legends representing the Unit Shares and the Warrants, as the Underwriters may direct prior to the Over-Allotment Closing Date; (ii) the Underwriters shall deliver to the Company the gross proceeds from the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option less the Underwriters' Commission and the expenses of the Underwriters payable in accordance with Section 15 and any amounts paid directly to the Company by a substituted purchaser; and (iii) the Company shall deliver to the Underwriters the items listed in Section 7, in each case dated the Over-Allotment Closing Date, and such further documentation as may be contemplated herein or as the Securities Commissions or TSX may reasonably require.

Section 11 Compensation of the Underwriter

In consideration of the services to be rendered by the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement and in connection with all other matters relating to the issue and sale of the Units, the Company shall pay to the Underwriters at the Closing Time a cash commission (the “Underwriters’ Commission”) equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Offered Securities. As additional consideration, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Underwriters the Broker Warrants. The obligation of the Company to pay the Underwriters’ Commission and issue the Broker Warrants shall arise at the Closing Time against payment for the Offered Securities, and the Underwriters’ Commission and the Broker Warrants shall be fully earned by the Underwriters at that time.

Section 12 Termination Rights

(1) The Company agrees that all material terms and material conditions set out in this Agreement shall be construed as conditions and complied with so far as they relate to acts to be performed or caused to be performed by it, that it will use its best efforts to cause such conditions to be complied with, and that any material breach or failure by the Company to comply with any such material conditions in favour of the Underwriters that cannot be cured prior to the Closing Time shall entitle the Underwriters to terminate their obligations (and those of any Purchasers arranged by them) under this Agreement by written notice to that effect given to the Company prior to the Closing Time. It is understood that the Underwriters may waive in whole or in part, or extend the time for compliance with, any of such terms and conditions without prejudice to their rights in respect of any subsequent breach or noncompliance, provided that to be binding on the Underwriters, any such waiver or extension must be in writing.

(2) In addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Underwriters in respect of any material default, act or failure to act, or material non-compliance with the terms of this Agreement by the Company, the Underwriters (or any of them) shall be entitled, at their option, to terminate and cancel, without any liability on the part of the Underwriters, their obligations under this Agreement by giving written notice to the Company at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Time, if:

(a) there is a material change or a change in a material fact (as such terms are defined under Canadian Securities Laws) or new material fact shall arise or there should be discovered any previously undisclosed material fact, in each case, that has or would reasonably be expected to have, in the opinion of the Underwriters (or any of them), acting reasonably, a significant adverse change or effect on the business or affairs of the Company or on the market price or the value of the Common Shares or any other securities of the Company;

(b) there should develop, occur or come into effect or existence any event, action, state, condition (including without limitation, terrorism or accident) or major financial occurrence of national or international consequence, any declared pandemic of a serious contagious disease, or a new or change in any law or regulation which in the opinion of the Underwriters (or any of them), acting reasonably, materially adversely affects or involves or would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect or involve the financial markets in Canada or the U.S. generally or the business, operations or affairs of the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole or the market price or value of the Common Shares or any other securities of the Company;


  • 39 -

(c) any inquiry, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether formal or informal) is commenced, announced or threatened or any order is made by any federal, provincial, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality including without limitation the TSX or securities regulatory authority (except for any inquiry, suit, proceeding, investigation or order based upon the activities of the Underwriter) which, in the opinion of the Underwriters (or any of them), acting reasonably, operates to prevent or materially restrict the trading of the Common Shares or any other securities of the Company; or

(d) the Company is in material breach of a material term, condition or covenant of this Agreement that may not be reasonably expected to be remedied prior to the Closing Date, or any representation or warranty given by the Company in this Agreement becomes or is false in any material respect.

(3) The Underwriters shall make commercially reasonable efforts where applicable to give notice to the Company (in writing or by other means) of the occurrence of any of the events referred to in Section 12(2), provided that neither the giving nor the failure to give such notice shall in any way affect the entitlement of the Underwriters to exercise this right at any time prior to or at the Closing Time.

(4) If the obligations of the Underwriters under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to the termination rights in this Section 12, the liability of the Company to the Underwriters shall be limited to the obligations under Section 14 and Section 15.

(5) The right of the Underwriters (or any of them) to terminate their obligations under this Agreement is in addition to any other remedies they may have in respect of any rights contemplated by this Agreement. A notice of termination given by one Underwriter under this Section 12 shall not be binding upon the other Underwriter.

All representations and, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained or contained in any documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement and in connection with the transaction of purchase and sale herein contemplated shall survive the Closing and the termination of this Agreement notwithstanding such Closing or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters with respect thereto, and shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the Underwriters and/or the Company, as the case may be, regardless of the Closing of the Offering, any subsequent disposition of the Units and any investigation by or on behalf of the Underwriters with respect thereto, until the Survival Limitation Date. Without any limitation of the foregoing, the provisions contained in this Agreement in any way related to indemnification or contribution obligations shall survive and continue, in full force and effect, indefinitely.

Section 14 Indemnity and Contribution

(1) As consideration for the Underwriters agreeing to provide the services described herein, the Company and the Subsidiaries, 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 the Underwriters or their affiliates (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties" and individually an


  • 40 -

"Indemnified Party") from and against any and all expenses, losses (other than loss of profits), fees, claims, actions (including shareholder actions, derivative actions or otherwise), damages, obligations, or liabilities, whether joint or several, (including the aggregate amount paid in reasonable settlement of any actions, suits, proceedings or claims), and the reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel (collectively, "Losses") that may be incurred in advising with respect to and/or defending any actual of threatened claims, actions, suits, investigations or proceedings that may be made against the Indemnified Parties (collectively, the "Claims" and individually a "Claim"), to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject or otherwise involved in any capacity under any statute or common law or otherwise, insofar as such expenses, losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based, directly or indirectly, upon the performance of professional services rendered to the Indemnitor by the Indemnified Parties hereunder or otherwise in connection with the matters referred to in this Agreement, provided, however, that this indemnity shall not apply in respect of an Indemnified Party to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non-appealable shall determine that such Losses were caused solely by the gross negligence, intentional fault or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party.

(2) If for any reason (other than a determination that such Losses were caused solely by the gross negligence, intentional fault or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party as further set forth in Section 14(1) above) 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 (i) such amount paid or payable, minus (ii) the amount of the Underwriters' Commission received by the Indemnified Party.

(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 unless such proceeding has been caused solely and directly by or is the direct result of the gross negligence or fraud of the Indemnified Party (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non-appealable)) shall be paid by the Indemnitor as they occur.

(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, 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


  • 41 -

Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability which the Indemnitor may have to an Indemnified Party.

(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 defence is conducted by counsel of good standing acceptable to the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably. 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 and will discuss with the Indemnified Party all significant actions proposed.

(6) Notwithstanding Section 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: (i) the employment of such counsel has been authorized by the Indemnitor; (ii) the Indemnitor has not assumed the defence and employed counsel therefor in a reasonable timeframe after receiving notice of such Claim; or (iii) 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 or the subject matter of the Claim may not fall within the indemnity set forth herein (in any of which events the Indemnitor shall not have the right to assume or direct the defence on such Indemnified Party's behalf) provided that the Indemnitor shall not be responsible for the fees or expenses of more than one legal firm in any single jurisdiction for all of the Indemnified Parties.

(7) Neither the Indemnitor nor the Indemnified Party shall effect a settlement of any Claim or make admission of any liability without the prior written consent of the other party, such consent to be properly considered and not to be unreasonably withheld.

(8) 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.

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

Section 15 Expenses

The Company will be responsible for all costs and expenses related to the Offering, whether or not it is completed, including all fees and disbursements of its legal counsel, accountants and auditors, expenses related to road shows and marketing activities, printing costs, filing fees, taxes thereon and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Underwriters (including their travel expenses in connection with due diligence and marketing meetings) and the reasonable fees and disbursements and taxes thereon of the Underwriters' legal counsel (to the maximum amount set out in the Engagement Letter).

Section 16 Syndication of the Underwriters

If, with respect to the Units, a defaulting Underwriter fails to complete the purchase and sale of its applicable percentage of the aggregate amount of the Units at the applicable Closing Time and the Continuing Underwriter elects not to exercise such rights to assume the entire obligations of such defaulting Underwriter, then the Company shall have the right to terminate its obligations hereunder without liability except in respect of its indemnity, contribution and expense obligations to the Continuing Underwriter and in respect of any prior breach by the Company of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 16 shall oblige the Company to sell less than all of the Units or shall relieve an Underwriter in default hereunder from liability to the Company or to the Continuing Underwriter.

Section 17 Advertisements

The Company acknowledges that the Underwriters shall have the right, subject always to Section 2 and Section 8(1)(o) of this Agreement, and to prior approval by the Company, at their own expense, to place such advertisement or advertisements relating to the sale of the Units contemplated herein as the Underwriters may consider desirable or appropriate and as may be permitted by applicable law, including Canadian Securities Laws and U.S. Securities Laws. The Company and the Underwriters each agree that they will not make or publish any advertisement in any media whatsoever relating to, or otherwise publicize, the transaction provided for herein in the United State or so as to result in any exemption from the prospectus and registration requirements of Applicable Securities Laws and applicable securities laws in jurisdictions other than Canada in which the Units shall be offered or sold not being available.

Section 18 Action by Underwriters

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 the Lead Underwriter 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.
