2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers Each Purchaser hereby, for itself and for no other Purchaser, represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows:

(a) Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser, if not a natural person, is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full right, corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar action on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which a Purchaser is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and, subject to Section 1.4, when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

(b) Purchaser Representation. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as an investment as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities and has no arrangement or understanding with any other Persons regarding the distribution of such Securities. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Purchaser does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Securities.

(c) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and at the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises any Warrants, it will be either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act, or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act. Each Person who is purchasing pursuant to Regulation S promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act represents that he, she or it is not a “U.S. Person” as that term is defined in Regulation S and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of Regulation S.

(d) Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

(e) General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

8

(f) Relationship to Company; Access to Information. The Purchaser either has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company or its officers, directors or controlling persons, or, by reason of Purchaser’s business or financial experience, the Purchaser has the capacity and has taken all steps necessary to protect the Purchaser’s own interests in connection with an investment in the Securities. The Purchaser has received and read or reviewed with his Purchaser Representative, if any, and represents that he is familiar with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the Disclosure Schedules and the other documents delivered to the Purchaser as part of the offering of the Securities. The Company has made available to the Purchaser such information and documents regarding the Company as Purchaser deems necessary to enable him to make an informed decision concerning the purchase of the Securities and the Company has provided answers to all of Purchaser’s questions relating to this investment in the Securities. The Purchaser acknowledges that no federal or state agency has made any finding or determination as to the fairness of the offering for investment or any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities.

(g) Purchaser’s Liquidity. The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for the Purchaser’s current needs and personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity in connection with the investment in the Securities. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchaser must bear the economic risk of investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time, and that the Purchaser could sustain a loss of the Purchaser’s entire investment in the Securities without materially impairing the Purchaser’s financial wherewithal. The Purchaser’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the net worth of the Purchaser, and the Purchaser’s investment in the Securities will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

(h) Short Sales. Without limiting anything in Article IV, each Purchaser represents that from the date it was notified of the transactions contemplated hereby until the Closing, neither it nor any Person over which the Purchaser has direct control, have made, or will make, any net short sales of, or granted, or will grant, any option for the purchase of, or entered into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a net short sale in the Common Stock. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, understands and acknowledges that the Commission currently takes the position that coverage of short sales of shares of the Common Stock “against the box” with the Securities purchased hereunder prior to the Closing Date is a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act. Accordingly, each Purchaser hereby agrees not to use any of the Securities to cover any short sales prior to the Closing Date. Additionally, each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees to comply in all respects with Regulation M under the federal securities laws.

(i) Special Representations for Regulation S Purchasers. Each Purchaser who is purchasing Securities hereunder pursuant to Regulation S promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act hereby makes the following additional representations and warranties to the Company:

(iv) It agrees that it will not engage in hedging transactions involving the Securities unless such transactions are in compliance with the Securi-ties Act.

(v) If it is a “dealer” or a person “receiving a selling concession fee or other remuneration” within the meaning of Regulation S under the Se-curities Act, it acknowledges that until the expiration of the one-year “re-stricted period” within the meaning of Rule 903 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, any offer or sale of the Securities shall not be made by it to a U.S. person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person within the meaning of Rule 902(k) of the Securities Act.

Each Purchaser represents and warrants that none of the representations or warranties made by the Purchaser herein (“Purchaser Statements”) contain any false or misleading statement or omit to state a material fact. The Purchaser shall indemnify the Company to the extent the Company incurs or suffers any damage, expenses, loss, claim, judgment or liability resulting from the Company’s reliance upon any Purchaser Statement that is false or misleading.

(iii) Purchaser has relied only on the foregoing information and documents in determining to make an investment in the Securities;

In connection with any transfer of Securities, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act.

(d) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 3.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.

Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel (assuming an obligation to so assume the defense) or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by an Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage, judgment or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Purchasers in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.

3.3 Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.

3.4 No Variable Rate Transactions. In addition to the limitations set forth herein, from the Closing Date until one (1) year after the Closing Date, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or enter into an agreement to effect any Subsequent Financing involving a “Variable Rate Transaction” (as defined below). The term “Variable Rate Transaction” shall mean a transaction in which the Company issues or sells (i) any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock.

MISCELLANEOUS

4.1 Fees and Expenses.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all stamp and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the sale of the Securities.

4.2 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.

4.3 Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number set forth on the signature pages attached hereto or email (if provided by the Purchaser) to the email address set forth on the signature pages hereto, in each case, prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number set forth on the signature pages attached hereto or email (if provided by the Purchaser) to the email address set forth on the signature pages hereto, in each case, on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the second Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices and communications shall be as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto.

4.4 Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Company and Purchasers holding a majority of the Shares purchased hereunder and then outstanding. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

4.5 Construction. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

4.6 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser.

14

4.7 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

4.8 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in British Columbia, Canada, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

4.9 Survival. The representations and warranties of the Company herein shall survive for a period of eighteen (18) months after the Closing.

4.10 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement, and subject to Section 1.4, shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.

4.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

15

4.12 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon timely written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

4.13 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested by the Company. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

4.14 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

4.15 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

4.16 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Document. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.
