PLACEMENTS

3.1

Each time that the Corporation wishes to issue and sell Common Shares hereunder (each, a “Placement”), it will notify the applicable Agent or Agents by e-mail notice (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) (a “Placement Notice”), containing the parameters within which it desires to sell the Common Shares, which shall at a minimum include the number of Common Shares to be sold pursuant to this Agreement (“Placement Shares”), the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of Placement Shares that may be sold in any one Trading Day, whether the Corporation desires the Placement Shares to be sold on a particular stock exchange, and any minimum price below which sales may not be made and the amount of the Placement Fee (as defined below). The Placement Notice shall originate from any of the individuals (each an “Authorized Representative”) from the Corporation set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto, and shall be addressed to each of the respective individuals from the applicable Agent or Agents set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto, as such Schedule 1 may be amended from time to time by written notice to each of the parties hereto. The Placement Notice shall be effective upon delivery to each of the respective individuals from the applicable Agent or Agents unless and until: (i) the applicable Agent or Agents declines to accept the terms contained therein for any reason, in its sole discretion, in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 5.1; (ii) the entire amount of the Placement Shares have been sold; (iii) the Corporation suspends or terminates the Placement Notice in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Article V or Article XIV, as applicable; (iv) the Corporation issues a subsequent Placement Notice with parameters superseding those on the earlier Placement Notice; or (v) this Agreement has been terminated under the provisions of Article XIV.

3.2

The amount of compensation to be paid by the Corporation to each Agent with respect to each Placement for which such Agent acted as sales Agent under this Agreement shall be equal to up to 2% of the gross proceeds from such Placement (the “Placement Fee”), which amount shall be paid in the same currency as the sale of the Placement Shares it pertains to.

3.3

It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Corporation nor the Agents will have any obligation whatsoever with respect to a Placement or any Placement Shares unless and until the Corporation delivers a valid Placement Notice to the applicable Agent, which Placement Notice has not been declined, suspended or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and then only upon the terms specified therein and herein. It is also expressly acknowledged that the Agents will be under no obligation to purchase Placement Shares on a principal basis. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Placement Notice, the terms of the Placement Notice will prevail.

3.4	Under no circumstances shall the Corporation deliver a Placement Notice if after giving effect to the issuance of the Placement Shares requested to be issued under such Placement Notice, the aggregate sales price of the Placement Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement would exceed US$250,000,000.

SALE OF PLACEMENT SHARES BY THE AGENTS

4.1

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the Corporation’s issuance of a Placement Notice, and unless the sale of the Placement Shares described therein has been declined, suspended, or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, each of the applicable Agents will severally and not jointly use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell on behalf of the Corporation and as agent, such Placement Shares up to the amount specified during the time period specified, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Placement Notice. The Agents severally and not jointly covenant and the Corporation acknowledges that the Agents will conduct the sale of Placement Shares in compliance with applicable law, rules and regulations including, without limitation, all applicable United States federal securities laws, including the U.S. Securities Act and the Exchange Act, all applicable Canadian Securities Laws, and, if applicable, the rules of the NYSE and the TSX, and that such compliance may include a delay in commencement of sales efforts after receipt of a Placement Notice. The applicable Agent will provide written confirmation to the Corporation no later than the opening of the Trading Day immediately following the Trading Day on which it has made sales of Placement Shares hereunder setting forth the number of Placement Shares sold on such day (showing the number of Placement Shares sold on the TSX, on any other “marketplace” (as such term is defined in NI 21-101) in Canada (a “Canadian Marketplace”), on the NYSE, on any other “marketplace” (as such term is defined in NI 21-101) in the United States (a “United States Marketplace”) and pursuant to any other sales method used by the Agents), the average price of the Placement Shares sold (showing the average price of the Placement Shares sold on the TSX, a Canadian Marketplace, the NYSE, a United States Marketplace and pursuant to any other sales method used by the Agents), the gross proceeds, the commissions payable by the Corporation to the Agents with respect to such sales, and the Net Proceeds payable to the Corporation. The applicable Agents also severally (and not jointly) agree to assist the Corporation with such other periodic reporting as may be reasonably requested by the Corporation with respect to the sales of Placement Shares.

4.2

The Agents severally and not jointly acknowledge and agree that the aggregate number of Placement Shares sold on the TSX and all other Canadian Marketplaces on any Trading Day shall not exceed 25% of the total trading volume of the Common Shares on the TSX and all other Canadian Marketplaces on that Trading Day, and covenant not to exceed that threshold.

4.3

Each of the Agents, as applicable, hereby covenants and agrees that, during the time the applicable Agent is the recipient of a Placement Notice pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof that has not been declined, suspended or terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, such Agent will prudently and actively monitor the market’s reaction to trades made on any “marketplace” (as such term is defined in NI 21-101) pursuant to this Agreement in order to evaluate the likely market impact of future trades, and that, if such Agent that is the recipient of the Placement Notice has concerns as to whether a particular sale contemplated by a Placement Notice may have a significant effect on the market price of the Common Shares, the applicable Agent will, upon receipt of the applicable Placement Notice, recommend to the Corporation against effecting the trade at that time or on the terms proposed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation acknowledges and agrees that the Agents cannot provide complete assurances that any sale will not have a significant effect on the market price of the Common Shares.

- 8 -

4.4

The Agents severally and not jointly covenant that the Agents will not (nor will any affiliate thereof or person or company acting jointly or in concert therewith) over-allot Placement Shares in connection with the distribution of Placement Shares in an “at-the-market distribution” (as defined in NI 44-102) or effect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Placement Shares in connection with such distribution.

4.5

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or in a Placement Notice, the Corporation acknowledges and agrees that: (i) there can be no assurance that the Agents will be successful in selling any Placement Shares or as to the price at which any Placement Shares are sold, if at all; and (ii) the Agents will incur no liability or obligation to the Corporation or any other person or entity if they do not sell Placement Shares for any reason other than a failure by the Agents to use their commercially reasonable efforts consistent with their normal trading and sales practices to sell on behalf of the Corporation and as agent such Placement Shares as provided under this Article IV.

ARTICLE V

SUSPENSION OF SALES

5.1

The Corporation, or the applicable Agent or Agents, may, upon notice to the other party or parties in writing, by telephone (confirmed immediately by e-mail) or by e-mail notice (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties), suspend any sale of Placement Shares for any reason at any time for which it has delivered or received, as applicable, a Placement Notice; provided, however, that such suspension shall not affect or impair any party’s obligations with respect to any Placement Shares sold hereunder prior to the receipt of such notice. The Corporation and each of the Agents, severally and not jointly, agree that no such notice shall be effective against any other party unless it is made to, with respect to the Corporation, each of the individuals named as being authorized to act on behalf of the Corporation on Schedule 1 attached hereto or, with respect to the applicable Agent, each of the individuals named as being authorized to act on behalf of the applicable Agent on Schedule 1 attached hereto, in each case, as such Schedule 1 may be amended from time to time by written notice to each of the parties hereto.

5.2

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, during any period in which the Corporation is in possession of material non-public information, the Corporation and the Agents (provided they have been given prior written notice of such by the Corporation, which notice the Agents, severally and not jointly, agree to treat confidentially) agree that no sale of Placement Shares will take place. The Corporation and each of the Agents, severally and not jointly, agree that no such notice shall be effective against any applicable Agent unless it is made to, with respect to the applicable Agent, each of the respective individuals named as being authorized to act on behalf of such Agent on Schedule 1 attached hereto, in each case, as such Schedule 1 may be amended from time to time by written notice to each of the parties hereto.

ARTICLE VI

SETTLEMENT

6.1

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Placement Notice, settlement for sales of Placement Shares will occur on the second (2nd) Trading Day on the applicable stock exchange on which the Placement Shares were sold or, if the Placement Shares are not sold on a stock exchange, on the second (2nd) Trading Day (or, in either case, such earlier day as is agreed by the Corporation and the applicable Agent or Agents to be industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date on which such sales are made (each a “Settlement Date”). The amount of proceeds to be delivered to the Corporation on a Settlement Date against the receipt of the Placement Shares sold (“Net Proceeds”) will be equal to the aggregate sales price at which such Placement Shares were sold, after deduction for the commission or other compensation for such sales payable by the Corporation to the applicable Agent pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof.

6.2

On each Settlement Date, the Corporation will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Placement Shares being sold by crediting the applicable Agent’s account or its designee’s account (provided that the applicable Agent shall have given the Corporation written notice of such designee at least one (1) Trading Day prior to the Settlement Date) at The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian System for Placement Shares sold in the United States and at CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. though its CDSX system for Placement Shares sold in Canada or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto and, upon receipt of such Placement Shares, which in all cases shall be freely tradeable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form, the applicable Agent will, on each Settlement Date, deliver the related Net Proceeds in same day funds to an account designated by the Corporation prior to the Settlement Date. If the Corporation defaults in its obligation to deliver Placement Shares on a Settlement Date, the Corporation agrees that in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Article XII hereto, it will: (i) hold the Agents harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Corporation; and (ii) pay to each Agent any commission, discount, or other compensation to which such Agent would otherwise have been entitled absent such default; provided, however, that without limiting Article XII herein, the Corporation shall not be obligated to pay to the applicable Agent any commission, discount or other compensation on any Placement Shares that it is not possible to settle due to: (i) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the NYSE or the TSX; (ii) a material disruption in securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or Canada; or (iii) failure by an Agent to comply with its obligations under the terms of this Agreement.

(iii)

(iv)

furnish to the Agents at the time of filing thereof a copy of any document that upon filing is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses (provided that the Corporation shall not be required to deliver documents or information incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses if such documents are accessible from SEDAR or XXXXX);

Notice of stop orders. The Corporation will advise the Agents, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the issuance by the SEC or the Canadian Qualifying Authorities of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectuses or other prospectus in respect of the Common Shares, of any notice of objection of the SEC to the use of the form of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, of the suspension of the qualification of the Common Shares for offering or sale in the United States or the Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions, of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the SEC or the Canadian Qualifying Authorities for the amending or supplementing of the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses or for additional information relating to the Common Shares.

If there is no such outstanding Placement Notice, then, if, in the Corporation’s determination and at the Corporation’s sole discretion, it is necessary to prevent the issuance of any stop order or have a stop order lifted, the Corporation will use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or any order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectuses or other prospectus in respect of the Common Shares, a notice of objection of the SEC to the form of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, the suspension of any qualification for offering or sale in the United States or the Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions, and, in the event of the issuance of any such stop order or any such order preventing or suspending the use of any prospectus relating to the Common Shares or suspending any such qualification, the Corporation will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the lifting or withdrawal of such order as soon as possible.

GENERAL

19.1

This Agreement (including all schedules and exhibits attached hereto and Placement Notices issued pursuant hereto) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior and contemporaneous agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement, nor any term hereof, may be amended except pursuant to a written instrument executed by the Corporation and the Agents.

19.2

This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute relative to or arising out of this Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

19.4

The parties acknowledge that they are sophisticated in business and financial matters and that each of them is solely responsible for making its own independent investigation and analysis of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. They further acknowledge that the Agents have not been engaged by the Corporation to provide, and have not provided, financial advisory services in connection with the terms of the Offering nor have the Agents assumed at any time a fiduciary relationship to the Corporation in connection with such Offering. The Corporation hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Agents for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees the Agents shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Corporation in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Corporation, including shareholders, employees or creditors of Corporation.

19.5

The Corporation agrees to indemnify each of the Agents, its directors, officers, affiliates and each person, if any, who controls such Agent within the meaning of section 16 of the U.S. Securities Act or section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any loss incurred by such Agent as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than U.S. dollars and as a result of any variation as between: (i) the rate of exchange at which the U.S. dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order; and (ii) the rate of exchange at which such indemnified person is able to purchase U.S. dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by the indemnified person. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Corporation and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.

19.6

In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Agents are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Corporation, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Agents to properly identify their respective clients.

(a)

In the event that any Agent that is a Covered Entity (as defined below) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime (as defined below), the transfer from such Agent of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)

In the event that any Agent that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate (as defined below) of such Agent becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights (as defined below) under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Agent are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

SCHEDULE 2

INDEMNIFICATION

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Schedule 2 shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement to which this Schedule is attached.

Indemnity

(a)

Indemnity

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (the “Indemnitor”) hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Agents and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents and each person, if any, who controls any Agent within the meaning of section 15 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or section 20 of the Exchange Act and the successors and assigns of the foregoing persons (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties” or individually, the “Indemnified Party”) from and against all liabilities, claims, losses (other than loss of profits), reasonable costs, damages and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation any legal fees or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Agents in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim and securityholder or derivative actions, arbitration proceedings or otherwise) (a “Claim”) in any way caused by, or arising directly or indirectly from, or in consequence of:

(i)

any information or statement (except any statement relating solely to such Agents or Agents which has been provided in writing to the Corporation by or on behalf of any Agent or Agents specifically for inclusion therein) contained in the Agreement, Registration Statement, Prospectuses and Disclosure Package, if any, or any amendments thereto, supplements or in any certificate of the Corporation delivered pursuant to the Agreement which, at the time and, other than with respect to the Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which it was made, contains or is alleged to contain a misrepresentation or untrue statement of a material fact;

(ii)

any omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, Prospectuses and Disclosure Package, if any, or any amendments thereto, supplements or in any certificate of the Corporation delivered pursuant to the Agreement, any material fact (except any fact relating solely to such Agent or Agents which has been provided in writing to the Corporation by or on behalf of such Agent or Agents specifically for inclusion therein) regarding the Corporation and its operations and affairs that is necessary to make any statement therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made;

(iii)

any order made or enquiry, investigation or proceedings commenced or threatened by any securities commission or other competent authority based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or alleged omission or any misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation (except a statement or omission or alleged statement or omission regarding facts relating solely to such Agent or Agents which has been provided in writing to the Corporation specifically for inclusion therein) in the Registration Statement, Prospectuses and Disclosure Package, if any or any amendments or supplements thereto or based upon any failure to comply with any of the applicable United States federal securities laws, including the U.S. Securities Act and the Exchange Act and all applicable Canadian Securities Laws (other than any failure or alleged failure to comply by any of the Agents), preventing or restricting the trading in or the sale or distribution of the Placement Shares;

- 45 -

(iv)

the non-compliance or alleged non-compliance by the Corporation with any of the applicable United States federal securities laws, including the U.S. Securities Act and the Exchange Act and all applicable Canadian Securities Laws, including, in the case of the Corporation, the Corporation’s non-compliance with any statutory requirement to make any document available for inspection; or

(v)

any breach by the Corporation of its material representations, warranties, covenants or obligations to be complied with under the Agreement.

This indemnity shall cease to be available to an Indemnified Party if a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment in which such Indemnified Party is named as a party determines that the Claim in respect of which indemnification is sought is a result of or arises out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent (provided that, for greater certainty, the Corporation and the Agents agree that they do not intend that any failure by the Agents to conduct such reasonable investigation as necessary to provide the Agents with reasonable grounds for believing the Registration Statement, the Prospectuses and the Disclosure Package, if any, or any amendment to the Registration Statement or amendment to the Prospectuses, contained no misrepresentation shall constitute “gross negligence” or “willful misconduct” for purposes of this Section 1 or otherwise disentitle the Agents from indemnification hereunder). In such event, such Agent shall reimburse any funds advanced by the Corporation to such Agent pursuant to the indemnification contained in this Schedule 2 in respect of such Claim and thereafter this indemnity shall cease to apply to such Agent in respect of such Claim.

(b)

Notification of Claims

If any Claim is asserted against any Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party will notify the Corporation as soon as possible of the nature of such Claim (but the omission so to notify the Corporation of any potential Claim shall not relieve the Corporation from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Party and any omission so to notify the Corporation of any actual Claim shall affect the Corporation’s liability only to the extent that it is prejudiced as a proximate result of that failure). Subject to subsection 1(d), the Corporation shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce such Claim; provided, however, that the defense shall be conducted through legal counsel acceptable to such Indemnified Party, acting reasonably, that no settlement of any such Claim or admission of liability may be made by the Corporation or such Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the other parties, acting reasonably, and the Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Claim unless it has consented in writing to such settlement. The Corporation shall not settle any Claim, or compromise a consent to any judgment unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

(c)

Right of Indemnity in Favour of Others

With respect to any Indemnified Party who is not a party to the Agreement, the Indemnified Parties who are party to the Agreement shall obtain and hold the rights and benefits of Section 1 of this Schedule 2 in trust for and on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

- 46 -

(d)

Retaining Counsel

In any Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain other counsel to act on its behalf, provided that the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be paid by such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Corporation fails to assume the defense of such suit on behalf of such Indemnified Party within 10 days of receiving written notice of such suit; (ii) the Corporation and such Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of the other counsel; or (iii) the named parties to any such Claim (including any added third or impleaded party) include such Indemnified Party and the Corporation and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that the representation of all parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to the actual or potential differing interests between them, including the potential availability of one or more legal defenses to such Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to the other parties or the potential for a conflict to exist between the Corporation and such Indemnified Party. In no event shall the Corporation be liable to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one firm of separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties and, in addition, one firm of local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction.

2.	Contribution

(a)

Contribution by the Corporation

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 1 of this Schedule 2 is unavailable, in whole or in part, for any reason to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Claim, the Corporation (the “Indemnifier”) and the applicable Agent or Agents shall contribute to the amount paid or payable (or, if such indemnity is unavailable only in respect of a portion of the amount so paid or payable, such portion of the amount so paid or payable) by the Corporation as a result of such Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Corporation on the one hand and the applicable Agent or Agents on the other hand from the offering of the Placement Shares; or if this allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also the relative fault of the Corporation on the one hand and the applicable Agent or Agents on the other hand in connection with the information, statement, omission, misrepresentation, order, inquiry, investigation or other matter or thing referred to in Section 1 of this Schedule 2 which resulted in such Claim, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Corporation on the one hand and the applicable Agent or Agents on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the Net Proceeds but before deducting any expenses (to the extent that such expenses are payable by the Corporation pursuant to Section 3 of this Schedule 2) received by the Corporation from the issue and sale of the Placement Shares bears to the fee received by the applicable Agent or Agents pursuant to the Agreement. The relative fault of the Corporation on the one hand and of the applicable Agent or Agents on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the information, statement, omission, misrepresentation, order, inquiry, investigation or other matter or thing referred to in Section 1 of this Schedule 2 which resulted in such Claim relates to information supplied by or steps or actions taken or done by or on behalf of the Corporation or to information supplied by or steps or actions taken or done by or on behalf of the applicable Agent or Agents and the relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, omission, misrepresentation, order, inquiry, investigation or other matter or thing referred to in Section 1 of this Schedule 2. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Claim referred to above shall include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim, whether or not resulting in any such action, suit, proceeding or claim. The Corporation and the Agents agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2 were determined by any method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to immediately above.

- 47 -

A person who is engaged in any fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or gross negligence shall not, to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment determines that the Claim was caused by that activity, be entitled to claim contribution therefor from any person who has not also been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment to have engaged in that fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or gross negligence.

(b)

Right of Contribution in Addition to Other Rights

The rights to contribution provided in this Section 2 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other right to contribution which the Agents may have by statute or otherwise at law.

(c)

Calculation of Contribution

In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment determines that an Indemnifier is entitled to contribution from an Agent or Agents under the provisions of any statute or at law, the Indemnifier shall be limited to contribution in an amount not exceeding the lesser of:

(i)

the portion of the full amount of the loss or liability giving rise to such contribution for which the applicable Agent or Agents are responsible, as determined in subsection 2(a) of this Schedule 2, and

(ii)

the amount of the fee actually received by the applicable Agent or Agents from the Corporation under the Agreement, provided that no Agent shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the fee received by such Agent in connection with the Placement Shares sold by it.

(d)

Notice of Claim for Contribution

Notification to the Corporation of a Claim pursuant to subsection 1(b) of this Schedule 2 shall be deemed to also constitute notice to the Corporation that a claim for contribution by the Agents may arise and omission to so notify shall have similar effect.

(e)

Right of Contribution in Favour of Others

The Corporation hereby acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Schedule 2, each of the Agents are contracting on their own behalf and as agents for their affiliates, subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, agents and control persons (collectively, the “Beneficiaries”). In this regard the Agents shall act as trustees for the Beneficiaries of the Corporation’s covenants under paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Schedule 2 with respect to the Beneficiaries and accept these trusts and shall hold and enforce the covenants on behalf of the Beneficiaries.

3.	Severability

If any provision of Section 1 or 2 of this Schedule 2 is determined to be void or unenforceable in whole or in part, it shall be deemed not to affect or impair the validity of any other provision of the Agreement and such void or unenforceable provision shall be severable from the Agreement.

1.	The execution and delivery by the Company of the Equity Distribution Agreement, the performance of its obligations thereunder, and the issuance by the Company of the Shares to the Agents:

(i)

based solely upon review of such agreements, do not and will not (A) result in a breach of or default under or (B) result in or require the creation or imposition of any lien or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company under any agreement listed on Annex B;

(ii)

based solely upon review of such orders, judgments or decrees, do not and will not violate any order, judgment or decree of any court or other agency of government identified to us in a certificate of the Company as constituting all orders, judgments or decrees that are material to the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole and that are binding on the Company, each of which orders, judgments and decrees is listed on Annex C; and

(iii)

do not and will not (A) violate, or require any filing with or approval of any governmental authority or regulatory body of the State of New York or the United States of America under, any law, rule or regulation of the State of New York or the United States of America applicable to the Company that, in our experience, is generally applicable to transactions in the nature of those contemplated by the Equity Distribution Agreement or (B) require any filing with or approval of any governmental authority or regulatory body of the United States of America under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), except for such filings or approvals as already have been made or obtained.

To the extent that the statements in the Prospectus under the caption “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” purport to describe specific provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the rules and regulations thereunder, such statements present in all material respects an accurate summary of such provisions.

The Company is not and, after giving effect to the sale of the Shares and the use of proceeds therefrom as described in the Prospectus, will not be an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). For purposes of this paragraph 3, the term “investment company” has the meanings ascribed to such term in the Investment Company Act.

In addition to the matters set forth above, such counsel shall also state that (i) on the basis of the information gained in the performance of the services rendered, and except for the financial statements and schedules and other information of an accounting or financial nature included or incorporated by reference therein, as to all of which such counsel expresses no opinion or belief, no facts have come to their attention that led them to believe: (a) that the Registration Statement, at the time it became effective, or the Prospectus, as of the date of the U.S. Prospectus Supplement, was not appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; or (b)(i) that the Registration Statement, at the time it became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) that the Prospectus, as of its date or as of the date hereof, included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
