any omission to state in any of the Offering Documents or in any certificate of the Company delivered under this Agreement or pursuant to this Agreement or any other document or material filed or delivered by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the Offering (other than any statement relating solely to the Underwriters and provided by the Underwriters in writing for inclusion in such document), required to be stated in such document or necessary to make any statement in such document not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it was made;

(v)

the non-compliance or alleged non-compliance by the Company with any requirement of applicable Securities Laws; or

(vi)

any order made or inquiry, investigation or proceedings (formal or informal) commenced or threatened by any officer or official of any Governmental Authority based upon the circumstances described in Section 13(a)(iii) above which operates to prevent or restrict trading in or distribution of the Offered Securities or any other securities of the Company in any of the Qualifying Jurisdictions or based upon any failure of the Company to comply with applicable Securities Laws preventing or restricting the trading in or the sale of the Offered Securities or related activities in any of the Qualifying Jurisdictions or the United States;

(b)

The Company agrees that in no event will any Indemnified Party be liable or obligated in any manger for any damages (including, actual, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or lost profits) in excess of the Underwriters’ Commission and the Company agrees not to seek or claim any such damages or profits in any circumstance and in no event, shall an Underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess of the amount of the Underwriters’ Commission actually received by such Underwriter.

(c)

This indemnity shall not be available to any Indemnified Party in relation to any Losses which are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgement that has become non appealable to have resulted primarily from the Indemnified Party’s fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

(d)

If a Claim is brought against an Indemnified Party or an Indemnified Party has received notice of the commencement of any investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company, the Indemnified Party will give the Company prompt written notice of any such Claim of which the Indemnified Party has knowledge and the Company will undertake the investigation and defence thereof on behalf of the Indemnified Party, including the prompt employment of counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Parties affected, acting reasonably, and the payment of all expenses. Failure by the Indemnified Party to so notify will not relieve the Company of its obligation of indemnification under this Agreement unless (and only to the extent that) such failure results in forfeiture by the Company of substantive rights or defences.

(e)

No admission of liability and no settlement, compromise or termination of any Claim will be made without the Company’s written consent and the written consent of the Indemnified Parties affected, such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding that the Company will undertake the investigation and defence of any Claim, an Indemnified Party will have the right to employ separate counsel with respect to any Claim and participate in the defence thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless:

(i)

employment of such counsel has been authorized in writing by the Company;

(ii)

the Company has not assumed the defence of the action within a reasonable time period after receiving notice of the claim;

(iii)

the named parties to any such claim include both the Company and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party will have been advised by counsel to the Indemnified Party that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnified Party; or

(iv)

there are one or more defences available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to the Company such that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnified Party;

in which case such fees and expenses of such counsel to the Indemnified Party will be for the Company’s account. The rights accorded to the Indemnified Parties under this Agreement will be in addition to any rights an Indemnified Party may have at common law or otherwise.

(f)

The Company will not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought under this Agreement (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes a release of each Indemnified Party from liabilities arising out of such action, suit proceeding investigation or claim.

(g)

The Company agrees to waive any right the Company may have of first requiring the Indemnified Party to proceed against or enforce any right, power, remedy or security or claim payment from any other person before claiming under this indemnity.

(h)

The Company agrees that if any Claim shall be brought or commenced against the Company and/or any Indemnified Party and the personnel of such Indemnified Party shall be required to testify in connection therewith or shall be required to participate or respond to procedures designed to discover information regarding, in connection with, or by reason of the performance of professional services rendered to the Company by the Indemnified Parties, 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 monthly for time spent by its personnel in connection therewith at their normal per diem rates together with such disbursements and reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by the personnel of the Indemnified Party in connection therewith) shall be paid by the Company as they occur.

(i)

The Company hereby constitutes Clams as trustee for each of the other Indemnified Parties of the Company’s covenants under this indemnity with respect to such persons and Clarus agrees to accept such trust and to hold and enforce such covenants on behalf of such persons.

(i)

The indemnity and contribution obligations of the Company shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to the Indemnified Parties who are not signatories hereto and shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company and the Indemnified Parties.

Contribution

(k)

In order to provide for a just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity provided for above would otherwise be available in accordance with its terms but is, for any reason, held to be unavailable to or unenforceable by the Underwriters or enforceable otherwise than in accordance with its terms, the Company and the Underwriters shall contribute to the aggregate of all claims, expenses, costs and liabilities (including any legal expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any claim which is the subject of this Section) and all losses of a nature provided for above in such proportions as is appropriate to reflect not only the benefits received by the Company, on one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of the Company and the Underwriters, as well as any equitable considerations; provided that, the Underwriters shall not in any event be liable to contribute, in the aggregate, any amounts in excess of the Underwriters’ Commission paid by the Company to the Underwriters realized from the sale of the Offered Securities and the Company shall be responsible for the balance, whether or not it has been sued, provided that, in no event, shall an Underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess of the amount of the Underwriters’ Commission actually received by such Underwriter.

(1)

The Company hereby waives all rights which it may have by statute or common law to recover contribution from the Underwriters in respect of losses, claims, costs, damages, expenses or liabilities which any of them may suffer or incur directly or indirectly (in this paragraph, “losses”) by reason of or in consequence of a document containing a misrepresentation; provided, however, that such waiver shall not apply in respect of losses by reason of or in consequence of any misrepresentation which is based upon or results from information or statements furnished by or relating solely to the Underwriters.

(m)

In the event that the Company may be held to be entitled to contribution from the Underwriters under the provisions of any statute or law, or pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, the Company shall be limited to contribution in an amount not exceeding the lesser of: (i) the portion of the full amount of losses, claims, costs, damages, expenses and liabilities, giving rise to such contribution for which the Underwriters are responsible, as determined above; and (ii) the amount of the Underwriters’ Commission actually received by the Underwriters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation shall not be entitled to contribution from the other party. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receiving notice of commencement of any claim, action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against the other party under this Section, notify such party from whom contribution may be sought. In no case shall such party from whom contribution may be sought be liable under this Agreement unless such notice has been provided, but the omission to so notify such party shall not relieve the party from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it may have otherwise than under this Section.

(n)

The rights to indemnity and contribution provided in this Agreement shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other right to indemnity or contribution which the Underwriters may have by statute or otherwise by law.

14.

All reasonable fees and expenses (plus applicable Taxes) incurred by the Underwriters or on their behalf shall be payable by the Company promptly upon receiving an invoice therefor from the Underwriters and shall be payable whether or not the Offering is completed. At the option of Clarus, such fees and expenses may be deducted from the gross proceeds otherwise payable to the Company on the Closing Date and any Over-Allotment Closing Date.

15.	Advertisements.

Neither the Company nor any of the Underwriters shall make any public announcement in connection with the Offering, except if the other party (provided that Clarus shall represent the Underwriters in this regard) has consented to such announcement or the announcement is required by applicable laws or stock exchange rules. In such event, the party proposing to make the announcement will provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity, in the circumstances, to review a draft of the proposed announcement and to provide comments thereon.

16.	Underwriters’ Obligations.

The Underwriters’ obligations under this Agreement shall be several and not joint, and the Underwriters’ respective obligations and rights and benefits hereunder shall be as to the following percentages set out below. Furthermore, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the Underwriters’ Commission and the Compensation Options shall be apportioned as follows: (i) step-up fee equal to 5.0% of the Underwriter’s Commission to Clarus in consideration for the work rendered by Clarus in respect of the Offering, and (ii) the Compensation Options, and the remainder of the Underwriters’ Commission among the Underwriters in the percentages set out below:

Clarus Securities Inc.	70	%
PI Financial Corp.	20	%
Red Cloud Securities Inc.	10	%

If an Underwriter (a “Refusing Underwriter”) shall not complete the purchase and sale of the Offered Securities which such Underwriter has agreed to purchase hereunder for any reason whatsoever at the Closing Time or the Over-Allotment Closing Time, as the case may be, the other non-Refusing Underwriters (the “Continuing Underwriters”) shall be entitled, at their option, to purchase all but not less than all of the Offered Securities which would otherwise have been purchased by such Refusing Underwriter pro rata according to the number of Offered Securities to have been acquired by the Continuing Underwriters hereunder or in such proportion as the Continuing Underwriters shall agree in writing. If the Continuing Underwriters do not elect to purchase the balance of the Offered Securities pursuant to the foregoing:

(a)

the Continuing Underwriters shall not be obliged to purchase any of the Offered Securities that any Refusing Underwriter is obligated to purchase;

(b)

the Company shall not be obliged to sell less than all of the Offered Securities; and

(c)

the Company shall be entitled to terminate its obligations under this Agreement arising from its acceptance of this offer, in which event there shall be no further liability on the part of the Company or the Continuing Underwriters, except pursuant to the provisions of Sections 13 and 14. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Refusing Underwriter shall not be entitled to the benefit of the provisions of Sections 13 and 14 following such termination.

18.	Over-Allotment.

In connection with the distribution of the Offered Units, the Underwriters and members of their selling group (if any) may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Shares at levels above those which might otherwise prevail in the open market, in compliance with applicable Securities Laws. Those stabilizing transactions, if any, may be discontinued at any time.

Conflict.

29.	No Fiduciary Duty.

The Company hereby acknowledges that the Underwriters are acting solely as underwriters in connection with the purchase and sale of the Offered Securities.
