D. International has agreed to guarantee the repayment of the Series C Note.
NOW THEREFORE THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSES that in consideration of the covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto do covenant and agree (the "Agreement") each with the other as follows:
1. Representations and Warranties
1.1 In order to induce VMI and International to enter into this Agreement and complete its obligations hereunder, the Shareholder represents and warrants to VMI and International, that:
-2-
(a) the Shares registered in the name of the Shareholder are beneficially owned by the Shareholder as set forth in the recitals to this Agreement, free and clear of all trade restrictions, liens, charges or encumbrances of any kind whatsoever;
(b) except as is provided for by operation of this Agreement, there are no options, shareholder or other agreements, rights of first refusal, shotgun provisions, piggy-back rights or other rights of any kind whatsoever to acquire all or any of his, her or its Shares or any interest in them or which in any way encumber all or any of his, her or its Shares;
(c) he, she or it has good and sufficient right and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out his, her or its obligations under this Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and this Agreement is a binding agreement on him, her or it enforceable against him, her or it in accordance with its terms and conditions;
(d) to the extent that they might prevent him, her or it from meeting his, her or its obligations under this Agreement, there are no outstanding actions, litigation, arbitration proceedings, suits, judgments, investigations, enforcement of security proceedings, bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or other proceedings of any kind whatsoever including, without limitation, divorce, separation, support, maintenance or division of asset proceedings if such Shareholder is a natural person, against or affecting him, her or it at law or in equity or before or by any person or entity or by any federal, provincial, state, municipal or other government department, commission, board, bureau or agency of any kind whatsoever nor are there, to the best of his, her or its knowledge, any pending or threatened;
(d) the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement will not conflict with, or result in the breach of or the acceleration of any indebtedness under, or constitute default, under any indenture, mortgage, agreement, lease, licence or other instrument of any kind whatsoever to which he, she or it is a party or by which he, she or it is bound, or any judgment or order of any kind whatsoever of any court or administrative body of any kind whatsoever by which he, she or it is bound; and
(e) the Shareholder has not incurred any liability for brokers' or finder's fees of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated under this Agreement.
1.2 The representations and warranties of the Shareholder are true and correct as of the Effective Date and shall be true and correct at the Time of Closing as though they were made at that time, and should such not be the case, VMI shall be entitled, provided it provides notice of same to the Shareholder within a period of one year following the Closing, to seek remedy against such Shareholder for any such misrepresentation or breach of warranty.
2. Exchange
2.2 If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding International undertakes a consolidation of its share capital (the "Consolidation"), the parties agree that the holder shall be entitled to request International adjust (the "Adjust" or "Adjustment") the exercise price of the Warrant on the following
-3-
basis. The holder will only be entitled to request this Adjustment in the following circumstances. If the closing price of International's shares on the third trading day after the shares return to trade subsequent to a Consolidation is less than the closing price of International's shares on the last trading day immediately prior to the Consolidation being implemented multiplied by the Consolidation ratio, then the holder may request the Adjustment. As an example, if the closing price on the day prior to the Consolidation price being implemented was $0.50 and the Consolidation ratio was 3:1, then the holder will be entitled to request Adjustment if, on the third trading day after the Consolidation the closing price of International's shares is less than $0.50 times 3 = $1.50. International will agree to adjust the exercise price of these Warrants by the same percentage erosion in the share price. Again, as an example, if the closing price on the third day, using the example above, was $1.35, the price erosion (the "Erosion") was $0.15 or 10%. In such case the exercise price of the Warrants would be adjusted as follows. The current exercise price is $0.425 per share. After a Consolidation of 3:1, the exercise price would be adjusted to $1.275. Then, the exercise price would be adjusted down by 10%, or $0.1275, from $1.275 to $1.1475, to reflect the Erosion. This Adjustment provision is subject to the following limitations:
(a) The holder will be entitled to elect to do this only once during the life of the Warrant.
(b) The Adjustment will not be made in the event that International makes an announcement during the three day period that could be reasonably be perceived to have caused the Erosion in the share price.
(c) The Adjustment is subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange. In the event that the Toronto Stock Exchange does not approve the Adjustment, International will not be required to make the Adjustment. International is obliged to make an application to the Toronto Stock Exchange if requested by the holder and to use it best interests to pursue such application.
2.3 On the Closing Date, VMI and the Shareholder shall execute a general security agreement (the "GSA") having the terms and conditions as attached as Schedule "C". The Company's repayment obligations under the Series C Note will rank equally with all other indebtedness that arises on the Restructuring and after all other registered charges and security interests registered as at the Closing Date.
2.4 On the Closing Date, International and the Shareholder shall execute a guarantee (the "Guarantee") having the terms and conditions as attached as Schedule "D".
2.5 On the Closing Date, the Shareholder or the Shareholder's agent, may file a PPSA registration with respect to the GSA. The Shareholder shall execute a Lender's Agent Agreement with respect to the GSA and Guarantee having the terms and conditions as attached as Schedule "E".
3. Conditions Precedent
3.1 Each of the parties obligations under this Agreement including, without limitation, its obligation to close this Agreement, are subject to the concurrent closing of the Restructuring and the closing of the exchange agreements among VMI, International and each of the other shareholders of International that own shares of Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock.
4. Closing
-4-
4.2 At the Time of Closing on the Closing Date, the Shareholder shall deliver to VMI his, her or its certificates that represent the Shares duly endorsed for transfer to International and shall execute and deliver the GSA, Guarantee and the Lender's Agent Agreement.
4.3 At the Time of Closing on the Closing Date, VMI shall execute and deliver to the Shareholder the Series C Note and the GSA.
4.4 At the time of Closing on the Closing Date, International shall execute and deliver to the Shareholder the Guarantee and the Warrant.
5. General
5.1 Time and each of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be of the essence of this Agreement and any waiver by the parties of this paragraph or any failure by them to exercise any of their rights under this Agreement shall be limited to the particular instance and shall not extend to any other instance or matter in this Agreement or otherwise affect any of their rights or remedies under this Agreement.
5.2 The parties hereto shall execute and deliver all such further documents and instruments and do all such acts and things as any party may, either before or after the Closing, reasonably require of the other in order that the full intent and meaning of this Agreement is carried out. The provisions contained in this Agreement which, by their terms, require performance by a party to this Agreement subsequent to the Closing of this Agreement, shall survive the Closing of this Agreement.
5.3 No alteration, amendment, modification or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement shall be valid and binding upon the parties hereto unless such alteration, amendment, modification or interpretation is in written form executed by all of the parties to this Agreement.
5.4 Any notice, request, demand, election and other communication to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand, e-mail or by fax to the parties at their following respective addresses:

2.1 Redemption by the Company
2.1 This Note may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time by the Company and all accrued but unpaid interest. Any redemption by the Company shall be made rateably to all holders of Notes.

All payments hereunder shall be made to the Holder at the address as may be designated by the Holder from time to time.
3. Default
3.1 Any one or more of the following shall constitute an "Event of Default" as the term is used herein:
(a) if the Company makes default in the observance or performance of any written covenant or undertaking given by the Company to the Holder and such default is not rectified within 15 Business Days of notice being delivered by the Holder to the Company;

VOICE MOBILITY INTERNATIONAL,
INC.
(the "Company")
This is to certify that, for value received, __________________ (the "Warrant Holder") of __________________ has the right to purchase from the Company, upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter referred to, _________________ common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share (the "Shares") in the capital of the Company. The Shares may be purchased at a price of Cdn.$0.425 per Share, subject to adjustment as set out in this Warrant Certificate, at any time up to 5:00 p.m. local time in Vancouver, B.C. on September 8, 2008, subject to the Company's right of call as set our below.
The Company has the right on thirty (30) days written notice (the "Call Notice") to require the Warrant Holder to exercise the Warrant so long as the closing price of the common shares of the Company on The Toronto Stock Exchange equals or exceeds Cdn.$1.275 per common share for at least thirty consecutive trading days prior to the date of the Call Notice. The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate will terminate on the date that is 120 days (the "Call Period") from the date of the Call Notice in the event that the Warrant Holder does not exercise the Warrant during the Call Period.
The right to purchase the Shares may be exercised in whole or in part, by the Warrant Holder only, at the price set forth above (the "Exercise Price") within the time set forth above by providing the Company with the following documents at least 61 days in advance of its intention to exercise the Warrants:
2
(a) completing and executing the Subscription Form attached hereto for the number of the Shares which the Warrant Holder wishes to purchase, in the manner therein indicated;
(b) surrendering this Warrant Certificate, together with the complete Subscription Form, to the Company at 000-0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, X0X 0X0; and
(c) paying the appropriate Exercise Price, in Canadian funds, for the number of the Shares of the Company subscribed for, either by certified cheque or bank draft (drawn on a Canadian Chartered Bank) or money order payable to the Company in Vancouver, British Columbia.
If requested in writing, within 90 days from the date of this Warrant Certificate, by all investors that were issued Warrants under a restructuring of existing debt of the Company that closed on September 9, 2003, the Company shall file a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to register the resale of the Shares that may be issued under this Warrant Certificate. If the Company fails to do so the Exercise Price will reduce to Cdn.$0.36 per Share.
Upon surrender and payment, the Company shall issue to the Warrant Holder or to such other person or persons as the Warrant Holder may direct, the number of the Shares subscribed for and will deliver to the Warrant Holder, at the address set forth on the subscription form, a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of the Shares subscribed for. If the Warrant Holder subscribes for a number of Shares which is less than the number of Shares permitted by this warrant, the Company shall forthwith cause to be delivered to the Warrant Holder a further Warrant Certificate in respect of the balance of Shares referred to in this Warrant Certificate not then being subscribed for.
In the event of any subdivision of the common shares of the Company (as such common shares are constituted on the date hereof) into a greater number of common shares while this warrant is outstanding, the number of Shares represented by this warrant shall thereafter be deemed to be subdivided in like manner and the Exercise Price adjusted accordingly, and any subscription by the Warrant Holder for Shares hereunder shall be deemed to be a subscription for common shares of the Company as subdivided.
In the event of any consolidation of the common shares of the Company (as such common shares are constituted on the date hereof) into a lesser number of common shares while this warrant is outstanding, the number of Shares represented by this warrant shall thereafter be deemed to be consolidated in like manner and the Exercise Price adjusted accordingly, and any subscription by the Warrant Holder for Shares hereunder shall be deemed to be a subscription for common shares of the Company as consolidated.
In the event of any capital reorganization or reclassification of the common shares of the Company or the merger or amalgamation of the Company with another corporation at any time while this warrant is outstanding, the Company shall thereafter deliver at the time of purchase of the Shares hereunder the number of common shares the Warrant Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of the number of the Shares so purchased had the right to purchase been exercised before such capital reorganization or reclassification of the common shares of the Company or the merger or amalgamation of the Company with another corporation.
If at any time while this, or any replacement, Warrant is outstanding the Company undertakes a consolidation of its share capital (the "Consolidation"), the parties agree that the Warrant Holder
3
shall be entitled to request the Company to adjust (the "Adjust" or "Adjustment") the Exercise Price of the Warrant on the following basis. The Warrant Holder will only be entitled to request this Adjustment in the following circumstances. If the closing price of the Company's shares on the third trading day after the shares return to trade subsequent to a Consolidation is less than the closing price of the Company's shares on the last trading day immediately prior to the Consolidation being implemented multiplied by the Consolidation ratio, then the Warrant Holder may request the Adjustment. As an example, if the closing price on the day prior to the Consolidation price being implemented was $0.50 and the Consolidation ratio was 3:1, then the Warrant Holder will be entitled to request Adjustment if, on the third trading day after the Consolidation the closing price of the Company's shares is less than $0.50 times 3 = $1.50. The Company will agree to adjust the Exercise Price of these Warrants by the same percentage erosion in the share price. Again, as an example, if the closing price on the third day, using the example above, was $1.35, the price erosion (the "Erosion") was $0.15 or 10%. In such case the Exercise Price of these Warrants would be adjusted as follows. The current Exercise Price is $0.425 per Share. After a Consolidation of 3:1, the Exercise Price would be adjusted to $1.275. Then, the Exercise Price would be adjusted down by 10%, or $0.1275, from $1.275 to $1.1475, to reflect the Erosion. This Adjustment provision is subject to the following limitations:
(d) The Warrant Holder will be entitled to elect to do this only once during the life of the Warrant.
(e) The Adjustment will not be made in the event that the Company makes an announcement during the three day period that could be reasonably be perceived to have caused the Erosion in the share price.
(f) The Adjustment is subject to the approval of the TSX. In the event that the TSX does not approve the Adjustment, the Company will not be required to make the Adjustment. The Company is obliged to make an application to the TSX if requested by the Warrant Holder and to use it best interests to pursue such application.
If at any time while this, or any replacement, warrant is outstanding:
(a) the Company proposes to pay any dividend of any kind upon its common shares or make any distribution to the holders of its common shares;
(b) the Company proposes to offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its common shares any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights;
(c) the Company proposes any capital reorganization or classification of its common shares or the merger or amalgamation of the Company with another corporation; or
(d) there is a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;
The Company shall give to the Warrant Holder at least seven days prior written notice (the "Notice") of the date on which the books of the Company are to close or a record is to be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or for determining rights to vote with respect to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. The Notice shall specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, the date on which holders of common shares of the Company will be entitled to exchange their common shares for securities or other property deliverable upon any
4
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be. Each Notice shall be delivered by hand, addressed to the Warrant Holder at the address of the Warrant Holder set forth above or at such other address as the Warrant Holder may from time to time specify to the Company in writing.
The holding of this Warrant Certificate or the Warrants represented hereby does not constitute the Warrant Holder a member of the Company.
Nothing contained herein confers any right upon the Warrant Holder or any other person to subscribe for or purchase any Shares of the Company at any time subsequent to 5:00 p.m. local time in Vancouver, B.C. on September 8, 2008 and from and after such time, this Warrant and all rights hereunder will be void.
The Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate are non-transferable. Any common shares issued pursuant to this Warrant will bear the following legends:
"UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THE SECURITIES SHALL NOT TRADE THE SECURITIES BEFORE JANUARY 10, 2004"
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), NOR QUALIFIED UNDER OR PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES OR "BLUE SKY" LAWS OF ANY STATE NOR UNDER OR PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY PROVINCE IN CANADA. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE ASSIGNED, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (i) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SECURITIES WHICH IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (ii) RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IF AVAILABLE, OR (iii) ANY OTHER EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND FROM QUALIFICATION UNDER ANY SECURITIES LAWS APPLICABLE IN CANADA, IF AVAILABLE, AND IN EACH CASE, IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE OR PROVINCIAL SECURITIES LAWS."
Time will be of the essence hereof.
This Warrant Certificate is not valid for any purpose until it has been signed by the Company.

a) appoint by instrument a receiver, receiver and manager, or receiver-manager (the person so appointed is hereinafter called the "Receiver") of the Collateral, with or without bond

as the Secured Party may determine, and from time to time in its absolute discretion remove such Receiver and appoint another in its stead;

17.2 A Receiver appointed pursuant to this Security Agreement shall be the agent of the Debtor and not of the Secured Party and the Secured Party shall not be in any way responsible for any misconduct, negligence, or non-feasance on the part of any Receiver, its servants, agents, or employees. A Receiver shall, to the extent permitted by law or to such lesser extent permitted by its appointment, have all the powers of the Secured Party hereunder, and in addition shall have power to carry on the business of the Debtor and for such purpose to enter upon, use, and occupy all premises owned or occupied by the Debtor wherein Collateral may be situate, maintain Collateral upon such premises, use Collateral directly or indirectly in carrying on the Debtor's business and from time to time to borrow money either unsecured or secured by a security interest in any of the Collateral, such security interest may rank before or pari passu with or behind any of the Security Interests created by this Security Agreement, and if it does not so specify such security interest shall rank in priority to the Security Interests created by this Security Agreement.

i) the exercise by the Secured Party of all or any of the powers granted to it pursuant to this Security Agreement; and
ii) the appointment of the Receiver and the exercise by the Receiver of all or any of the powers granted to it pursuant to this Security Agreement, including the Receiver's reasonable remuneration and all outgoings properly payable by the Receiver excluding the Receiver's borrowings;
b) in or toward payment to the Secured Party of all principal and other monies (except interest) due in respect of the Obligations; and
10
c) in or toward payment to the Secured Party of all interest remaining unpaid in respect of the Obligations;
Subject to applicable law and the claims, if any, of other creditors of the Debtor, any surplus will be paid to the Debtor.
17.4 The Debtor agrees that the Secured Party may exercise its rights and remedies hereunder immediately upon default, except as may be otherwise provided in the
18. DEFICIENCY
If the amounts realized from the disposition of the Collateral are not sufficient to pay the Obligations in full, the Debtor will immediately pay to the Secured Party the amount of such deficiency.
19. RIGHTS CUMULATIVE
All rights and remedies of the Secured Party set out in this Security Agreement are cumulative and no right or remedy contained herein is intended to be exclusive but each will be in addition to every other right or remedy contained herein or in any existing or future Security Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, or pursuant to any other agreement between the Debtor and the Secured Party that may be in effect from time to time.

The Secured Party shall not be bound to do, observe, or perform or to see to the observance or performance by the Debtor of any obligations or covenants imposed upon the Debtor nor shall the Secured Party, in the case of Securities, Instruments, or Chattel Paper, be obliged to preserve rights against other persons, nor shall the Secured Party be obliged to keep any of the Collateral identifiable. The Debtor hereby waives any applicable provision of law permitted to be waived by it which imposes higher or greater obligations upon the Secured Party than aforesaid.
21. APPOINTMENT OF ATTORNEY
The Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints the Secured Party or the Receiver, as the case may be, with full power of substitution, to be the attorney of the Debtor for and in the name of the Debtor to sign, endorse, or execute under seal or otherwise any deeds, documents, transfers, cheques, instruments, demands, assignments, assurances, or consents that the Debtor is obliged to sign, endorse or execute, and generally to use the name of the Debtor and to do all things as may be necessary or incidental to the exercise of all or any of the powers conferred on the Secured Party or the Receiver, as the case may be, pursuant to this Security Agreement.

25. WAIVER
The Secured Party may from time to time and at any time waive in whole or in part any right, benefit, or default under any clause of this Security Agreement but any such waiver of any right, benefit, or default on any occasion shall be deemed not to be a waiver of any such right, benefit, or default thereafter, or of any other right, benefit, or default, as the case may be, and no delay or omission by the Secured Party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or with respect to any default shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy.

GUARANTEE
THIS GUARANTEE made as of the _____ day of ______________________, 2003.
GRANTED BY:
VOICE MOBILITY INTERNATIONAL INC., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, with its principal place of business at 000 - 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, XX, X0X 0X0
(the "Guarantor")
TO:
XXXXXXX X. XXXXX, a businessperson of XX Xxx 0000, Xxxxxx Xxx, XX, X0X 0X0
(the "Creditor")
WHEREAS:
A. Voice Mobility Inc. (the "Debtor") is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Guarantor.
B. Pursuant to several exchange agreements entered into between the Debtor and certain individuals (the "Lenders") dated September 9, 2003, the Lenders agreed subject to certain terms and conditions to exchange their debt for debt and warrants of the Company or their Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Shares of the Guarantor for debt and warrants of the Guarantor. As a result, the Debtor will issue promissory notes (the "Notes") and the Guarantor will issue warrants to the Lenders for the debt exchanged.
C. As security for the obligations of the Debtor to the Lenders, the Company executed and delivered to the Creditor a general security agreement and the Debtor's repayment obligations under the Notes rank prior to all other indebtedness of the Company, other than existing registered charges and security interests.
D. Pursuant to lender's agent agreements between the Creditor and each of the Lenders dated September 9, 2003, the Lenders appointed the Creditor as their agent with respect to the security interest granted by the Debtor to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of their respective loan subscription agreements;
E. In the event that the Debtor does not pay the amounts owing under the Notes to the Lenders when due, or on demand of the Lenders where the Lenders are permitted to make such demand, the Creditor may make demand of the Guarantor under this Agreement to pay to the Creditor an amount necessary to allow the Debtor to make the required payment to the Lender.
NOW THEREFORE for good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the Guarantor) the Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
1. The Guarantor hereby guarantees that in the event the Debtor does not pay the amount owing under the Notes to the Lenders when due, or on demand of the Lenders where the Lenders are permitted to make such demand, the Guarantor will pay to the Creditor an amount necessary to allow the Creditor to make the required payment to the Lenders.
2
2. The Guarantor hereby guarantees payment to the Creditor of all reasonable costs and disbursements incurred by the Creditor in any actions or proceedings taken to recover such indebtedness (including all reasonable legal fees) whether or not legal proceedings are commenced.
3. The Creditor may grant extensions of time or other indulgences, take and give up securities, accept compositions, grant releases and discharges and otherwise deal with the Debtor and the Guarantor and other parties and securities as the Creditor may see fit, and may apply all monies received from the Debtor, the Guarantor or others, or from securities, upon such part of the Debtor's liability as it may think best, without prejudice to or in any way limiting or lessening the liability of the Guarantor under this guarantee.
4. The Creditor shall not be bound to exhaust its recourse against the Debtor or any other parties or any securities it may hold before being entitled to payment from the Guarantor under this guarantee.
5. All cancelled Notes shall be accepted by the Guarantor as conclusive evidence that the Debtor has repaid to the Lenders or the Creditor the balance under the Notes.
6. Should the Creditor receive from the Guarantor a payment or payments in full or on account of the liability under this guarantee, the Guarantor shall not be entitled to claim repayment against the Debtor until the Creditor's claims against the Debtor under the terms of the Notes have been paid in full; and in case of the liquidation, winding-up or bankruptcy of the Debtor (whether voluntary or compulsory), the Creditor shall have the right to rank for its full claim and receive all dividends or other payments in respect thereof until its claim has been paid in full and the Guarantor shall continue liable, up to the amount guaranteed less any payments made by the Guarantor.
7. The Guarantor shall make payment to the Creditor of the amount of the Guarantor's liabilities hereunder within 30 days after demand therefor is made in writing and such demand shall be conclusively deemed to have been effectually made when an envelope containing it addressed to the Guarantor at the last address of the Guarantor known to the Creditor is delivered to the Guarantor or is deposited, postage prepaid and registered, in a Post Office in the City of Vancouver.
8. There are no representations, collateral agreements or conditions with respect to this instrument or affecting the Guarantor's liability hereunder other than as contained herein.
9. This instrument shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of British Columbia and the Guarantor agrees that any legal suit, action or proceedings arising out of or relating to this instrument may be instituted in the courts of that province, and the Guarantor hereby accepts and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the said courts and acknowledges their competence and agrees to be bound by any judgement thereof, provided that nothing herein shall limit the Creditor's right to bring proceedings against the Guarantor elsewhere.
10. No change in the constitution or composition of the Creditor or any successor or assign of the Creditor shall affect or impair the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder or any of the Creditor's, its successors and assigns, rights against the Guarantor, notwithstanding law, statute or rule to the contrary.
3
11. This instrument shall be binding upon the Guarantor, its successors, administrators and assigns and shall enure to the benefit of the Creditor and its successors and assigns.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Guarantor has executed this guarantee as of the day and year first above written.

connection herewith or in connection with the Security Documents, or enforceability or sufficiency of this Agency Agreement or any Security Documents, or for any failure of the Company or the Guarantor to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agent shall not be responsible to any Secured Party for the effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Agency Agreement, or any Security Documents or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made by the Company or the Guarantor in any written or oral statement or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates or any other documents in connection herewith or therewith furnished or made by the Agent to the Holders or by or on behalf of the Company or the Guarantor to the Agent or any other Secured Party or be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein or as to the use of the proceeds of the Notes or of the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default (as such term is defined in the certificates representing the Notes) or to inspect the property, books or records of the Company or the Guarantor or any of its affiliates.

The Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of its interests under the Notes for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agency Agreement or under any Security Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence as it deems appropriate from the Required Holders, or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any Security Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Holders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Holders (including their successors and assigns).
6. Notice of Default
6.1 The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default unless the Agent has received notice from a Holder or the Company or the Guarantor referring to the Security Document, describing such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default".

The Lender represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Holder, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Company, the Guarantor or their respective affiliates and made its own decision to make its advances hereunder and enter into this Agency Agreement. The Lender also represents that it will,
4
independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Holder, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agency Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Company, the Guarantor and their respective affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Holders (or any of them) by the Agent hereunder or under any Security Document, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Holder with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial or other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of the Company or the Guarantor or any of their respective affiliates which may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
8. Indemnification
8.1 The Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company or the Guarantor and without limiting the obligation of the Company or the Guarantor to do so), rateably according to the aggregate outstanding balance owing under the Notes, from and against any and all Claims and Losses which may at any time (including without limitation at any time following the final payment of all of the obligations under the Notes and under the other Security Documents) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Agency Agreement or the Security Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Holder shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such Claims or Losses resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent. If any indemnity furnished to the Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Agent may call for additional indemnity from the Holders and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.
8.2 The agreements in this Section shall survive the repayment of the Notes and all other obligations under the Security Documents.
9. Agent in its Individual Capacity
9.1 The Agent and its affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or the Guarantor or their respective affiliates as though the Agent were not an agent hereunder. With respect to any Notes held by and all obligations of the Company and the Guarantor hereunder and under the Security Documents, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers as any Holder and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms "Holder" and "Holders" shall include the Agent in its individual capacity.
10. Successor Agents
10.1 The Agent may, at any time, resign upon 45 days' written notice to the Holders and the Company, and be removed with or without cause by the Required Holders upon 30 days' written notice to the Agent and the Company. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Holders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent acceptable to the Company (and to the extent possible, from among the Holders). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed (and accepted such appointment) within 30 days after the notice of resignation or notice of removal, as appropriate, then the Agent shall select a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Agent under this Agency Agreement and the Security Documents and the provisions of this Section shall enure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent under this
5
Agency Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as a successor Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Holders shall perform all of the duties of such retiring Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Holders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
11. Amendments
11.1 Neither this Agency Agreement nor any Security Document nor any of the terms hereof or thereof may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing entered into by, or approved in writing by, the Required Holders and the Company or the Guarantor that is a party thereto, provided that no such amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each Holder: (i) extend the final maturity of any Note or any portion thereof; (ii) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest under any Notes; (iii) reduce the principal amount on any Notes; (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 11; (v) reduce any percentage specified in, or otherwise modify, the definition of "Required Holders"; (vi) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Company of any of its rights and obligations under (or in respect of) any Security Document to which it is a party; (vii) release the Company or the Guarantor from their obligations under the Security Documents; or (viii) to the extent the obligations have become secured by the property of the Company and the Guarantor, release all or substantially all of such property.
11.2 Subject to Subsection 11.1, no amendment or waiver of any provisions of any Security Document, nor consent to any departure by the Company or the Guarantor or any other Person from such provisions, is effective unless in writing and approved by the Required Holders.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF this Agency Agreement has been duly executed by the parties on the date first written above.
