REGISTRATION RIGHTS
2.1 Demand Registrations.
At any time and from time to time, each Holder individually, or together with the other Holders, may require the Company to effect a qualification under the Securities Acts of all or part of the Registrable Securities owned or over which the Holder exercises control or direction for their distribution in any or all of the provinces of Canada, provided that the reasonably anticipated aggregate gross proceeds to be raised (before any underwriting discounts and commissions) would be equal to or exceed $1,000,000 (such qualification being hereinafter referred to as a "Demand Registration"). Any such request shall be in writing and shall specify the number and the class or classes of Registrable Securities to be sold (the "Designated Registrable Securities"), the intended method of disposition and the jurisdictions in which the qualification is to be effected.
2.2 Piggy-Back Registration Rights.
If the Company proposes to effect a Registration of Common Shares, the Company will, at that time, give each Holder prompt written notice of the proposed Registration. Upon the written request of a Holder given within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice from the Company of the proposed Registration, the Company will use reasonable commercial efforts to, in conjunction with the proposed Registration, cause to be included in such Registration all of the Common Shares held by the Holder that the Holder has requested to be included in such distribution pursuant to the Securities Acts (such qualification of the Common Shares held by the Holder being hereinafter referred to as a "Piggy-Back Registration"). If any offering pursuant to this Section 2.2 involves an underwritten offering and the lead underwriter or underwriters advise the Company in writing that, in their opinion, acting reasonably, the number of Common Shares requested by the Holder to be included in such offering either exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company (the "Sale Number") or may materially and adversely affect the success of the offering, the Company will include in such offering:
- (a)
- all Common Shares that the Company proposes to qualify for its own account (the "New Common Shares"); and
131
- (b)
- to the extent the number of New Common Shares is less than the Sale Number, such number of Common Shares requested to be included by the holder as is equal to the difference between the number of New Common Shares and the Sale Number.
2.3 Registration Expenses.
The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with a Demand Registration and/or a Piggy-Back Registration, provided that, in connection with any one Demand Registration or any one Piggy-Back Registration, the Company shall not be liable for any of the Holders' legal fees in excess of $25,000.
2.4 Short-Form Registrations.
If at the time a Demand Registration is delivered or at the time that notice a Piggy-Back Registration is given, the Company has in force a receipt for its Annual Information Form from the Commissions in all of the jurisdictions in which the Demand Registration is to be effected and meets the eligibility criteria to file a prospectus pursuant to the requirements of National Instrument 44-101 or any successor, rule, regulation or similar instrument established from time to time by Commissions in Canada ("NI 44-101"), the Company will effect such Demand Registration or Piggy-Back Registration by way of a short-form prospectus prepared pursuant to NI 44-101.
2.5 Restrictions on Demand Registrations.
- (a)
- The
Company shall not be obligated to effect more than two Demand Registrations hereunder while it does not meet the eligibility criteria set out in NI 44-101 to
file a short-form prospectus. There shall be no restriction on the number of Demand Registrations that may be requested at a time in which the Company meets the eligibility requirements for a
short-form prospectus filing pursuant to NI 44-101. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to effect a Demand Registration by way of
short-form prospectus more than once in any given six (6) month period. For the purposes of this subsection, a Demand Registration will not be considered as having been effected
until a final receipt has been issued in all jurisdictions for the prospectus pursuant to which the Registrable Securities are to be sold.
- (b)
- Notwithstanding
Section 2.1, the Company is not obligated to comply with a Holder's request for a Demand Registration for a period
(the "Standstill Period") ending on the earlier of:
- (i)
- 90 days
following the date on which the Company gave notice (a "Standstill Notice") to the Holders that the
Company is in the course of offering Common Shares (or securities convertible into or carrying the right to acquire Common Shares), or that it intends to do so within 30 days of such
notice;
- (ii)
- 45 days
following completion of the offering described in clause (i); and
- (iii)
- 45 days after the giving of the Standstill Notice if (1) in the case of an offering by way of prospectus, no preliminary prospectus has been filed by the end of the 45 day period; and (2) in the case of an offering by way of private placement, binding subscription agreements have not been entered into by the end of the 45 day period or an offering memorandum has not been distributed to potential purchasers by the end of the 45 day period;
if, in the opinion of the Company's investment dealer acting reasonably (with a copy of such written opinion to be supplied by the Company to the Holders), the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration at the time and on the terms requested would materially and adversely affect the offering of Common Shares (or securities convertible into or carrying the right to acquire Common Shares) undertaken or to be undertaken by the Company. The Company may not deliver a Standstill Notice after receipt by the Company of a Demand Registration and may not give a Standstill Notice to the Holders for a period of 60 days following the termination of any Standstill Period.
132
2.6 Selection of Underwriters.
Subject to the approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Holders will have the sole right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering in connection with the Demand Registration.

4.2 Indemnification.
- (a)
- By
Company. The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder and each Person, if any, who participates as an
underwriter in the offering or sale of the Designated Registrable Securities, their respective officers and directors and each Person who controls such Holder or underwriter (within the meaning of any
applicable Securities Act) against all losses (excluding loss of profits), claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of or based upon (i) any information or statement contained in
the preliminary prospectus, the prospectus or any amendment thereto which at the time and in light of the circumstances under which it was made contains a misrepresentation (as defined in the
applicable Securities Act); (ii) any omission to state in the preliminary prospectus or the prospectus any fact that was 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; (iii) any order made or inquiry, investigation or proceedings commenced or threatened by any
applicable Commission, court or other competent authority based upon any untrue statement or omission or any misrepresentation in the preliminary prospectus, the prospectus or any amendment thereto or
based upon any failure to comply with applicable securities laws (other than any failure by the Holder or the underwriters) preventing or restricting the trading in or the sale and distribution of the
Designated Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration; and (iv) non-compliance by the Company with any of the Securities Acts in connection with a Demand Registration
and the distribution effected thereunder, except insofar as (v) any information or statement referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 4.2(a) has been
furnished in writing to the Company by the Holder pursuant to Section 4.2(b) or the underwriters expressly for use therein or (vi) caused by such Holder's or any underwriter's
failure to deliver to a purchaser of Designated Registrable Securities a copy of the prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished such Holder with a sufficient
number of copies of the same.
- (b)
- By
Holders. In connection with any Registration of Designated Registrable Securities, the Holders will indemnify the Company, its directors
and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of any Securities Act) against any losses (excluding loss of profits), claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arising out
of or based upon (i) any untrue statement of material fact contained in the prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make any statement therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement, or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such
Holders, pursuant to this Section 4.2(b), or (ii) any default by the Holders in respect of its obligations under Section 3.3 hereof.
- (c)
- Procedure. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in
136
- (d)
- Survival: The
indemnification provided for under this Agreement will survive the expiry of this Agreement and will remain in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive any transfer of
securities pursuant thereto.
- (e)
- Contribution. If the indemnity and reimbursement obligation provided for in any paragraph of this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party or the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this paragraph were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be deemed to include any legal and other expenses reasonable incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any loss which is the subject of this paragraph.
such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party, acting reasonably. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party, without the express written consent of an indemnified party, may settle any claims.
No indemnified party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from the indemnifying party if the indemnifying party was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. No contribution shall be made by an indemnifying party under circumstances where such party would not have been liable for indemnification under Section 4.2. Moreover, contribution by a Holder of Designated Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of such Designated Registrable Securities pursuant to such prospectus. The provisions of this Section 4.2(e) shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of the investigation made by or on behalf of the beneficiaries of this Section 4.2(e) and shall survive the transfer of Designated Registrable Securities by the Holders pursuant to Section 5.4 of this Agreement.

5.2 Remedies.
Any Person having rights under any provision of this Agreement will be entitled to enforce such rights specifically to recover damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law.
