Certain Legal Matters The choice of laws of the State of New York as the governing law of this Agreement and the Deposit Agreement is a valid choice of law under the laws of Canada and may be honored by courts located in Canada. The Company has the power to submit, and pursuant to Section 10.6 of this Agreement, has legally, validly, effectively and irrevocably submitted, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts provided for in Section 10.6 hereof, and service of process effected in the manner provided for in Section 10.6 will be effective to confer valid personal jurisdiction over the Company as provided therein. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, any final judgment for a fixed sum of money rendered by a New York Court having jurisdiction under its own domestic laws in respect of any suit, action or proceeding against the Company based upon this Agreement or the Deposit Agreement may be recognized and enforced by courts located in Canada. There is no bilateral arrangement between Canada and the United States for the recognition of foreign judgments, however the laws of Canada permit an action to be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Canada to recognize and declare enforceable a final and conclusive judgment of a New York Court of a sum certain against and respecting the obligations of the Company under this Agreement or the Deposit Agreement that is not impeachable as void or voidable under the internal laws of the State of New York, provided that such Canadian court is satisfied that (i) the parties to the proceeding enforcing the judgment of the New York Court are identical to those in the original New York Court proceedings; (ii) the New York Court issuing the judgment exercised jurisdiction which Canadian courts recognize had jurisdiction in the matter, and the Company either submitted to such jurisdiction or was resident or carrying on business within such jurisdiction and was duly served with process; (iii) the judgment given by the New York Court was not in respect of penalties, taxes, fines or similar fiscal or revenue obligations of the Company; (iv) in obtaining judgment there was no fraud on the part of the person in whose favor judgment was given or on the part of the New York Court; (v) recognition or enforcement of the judgment in Canada would not be contrary to public policy; and (vi) the proceedings pursuant to which judgment was obtained were not contrary to natural justice.
