(a) Incorporation; Authorization.

(i) The Corporation is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the law of the jurisdiction of its organization. The Corporation has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, and is duly qualified to transact business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of property owned or leased by it or the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified, except where the failure to be duly qualified to transact business, has not had or would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect. True and complete copies of the articles of incorporation and bylaws, or other organizational documents (in each case, together with all amendments thereto) of the Corporation have been delivered or made available to Purchaser. The Corporation is not in material default or violation of any provisions of its organizational documents.

(ii) The Corporation has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of the Corporation’s obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, and no other corporate proceedings or actions on the part of the Corporation, the Board of Directors of the Corporation or the shareholders of the Corporation are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement or to perform the Corporation’s obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Corporation, and this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Corporation, enforceable against the Corporation in accordance with its terms, except for (i) the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and (ii) the effect of equitable principles of general application.

(iii) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (1) violate any provision of the articles of incorporation or bylaws, or similar organizational documents, of the Corporation, (2) violate or conflict with any provision of or result in the imposition of any lien upon or the creation of a security interest in any of the Corporation’s assets or properties, or (3) violate or conflict with any law to which the Corporation is subject, except for those that, in the case of clauses (2) and (3) above, would not have a material adverse effect upon the Corporation.

(b) Capitalization; Structure. The authorized capital stock of the Corporation consists of 300,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. After giving effect to this Agreement, (i) 26,779,752 shares of common stock are issued and outstanding, (ii) 592 shares of Series N preferred stock are issued and outstanding, and (iii) 3,776,607 shares of the Corporation’s common stock have been reserved for issuance under the Corporation’s equity incentive plans, of which options to purchase 2,178,246 shares of the Corporation’s common stock are currently outstanding. The Shares will, upon the issuance thereof following the payment therefore in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, be (i) duly authorized and validly issued and outstanding, (ii) fully paid and nonassessable, (iii) not subject to or issued in violation of preemptive or similar rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights, and (iv) free and clear of any and all liens, claims and encumbrances of the Corporation except as set forth in the articles of incorporation.

(c) Litigation. There are no pending or, to the knowledge of Corporation, overtly threatened actions, suits or proceedings, either at law or in equity, which would reasonably be expected to impair in any material respect the ability of the Corporation to perform its obligations under this Agreement or have a material adverse effect on the business condition of the Corporation, or prevent or impede or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) SEC Reports; Material Adverse Effect. The Corporation has filed or furnished all required reports, schedules, forms, certifications, and other documents required to be filed by it with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as the case may be (together with all exhibits and schedules thereto and documents incorporated therein by reference, the “SEC Reports”). At the time filed (or if amended or superseded by a subsequent filing, at the time of such subsequent filing) or declared effective, the SEC Reports (i) were prepared in all material respects in accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, and in each case the published rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, each as applicable to the SEC Reports, and (ii) did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Since the date of the Corporation’s last filing required under the Exchange Act, there has not occurred any circumstance or event that, individually or in the aggregate, would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation.

(e) Brokers or Finders. The Corporation has not incurred any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or other similar payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(f) Disclosure. The Corporation has made available to Purchaser all the information reasonably available to the Corporation that Purchaser has requested for deciding whether to acquire the Shares. No representation or warranty or other statement made by the Corporation in this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made.

5. Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Corporation that the following statements are true:

(a) Authorization. Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement to which Purchaser is a party, when executed and delivered by the Purchaser, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except, as limited by, applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.

(b) Access. Purchaser acknowledges the receipt of such information regarding the Corporation and the Shares that Purchaser has requested and that Purchaser, or Purchaser’s representative, has thoroughly read and evaluated and understands the same and understands the nature of the risks involved in investment in the Shares. Further, Purchaser has been advised that the Corporation is available to answer any and all questions about the Corporation or Purchaser’s acquisition of Shares, and Purchaser has asked the Corporation such questions in this regard as Purchaser has deemed appropriate and has received satisfactory answers from the Corporation to all such questions.

(c) Investment Intent. Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for its own account and not for the account of others, and is not acquiring the Shares for the purpose of reselling, transferring, or subdividing, or otherwise disposing of or hypothecating all or any portion of the Shares, and Purchaser does not presently have any reason to anticipate any change in circumstances or other occasion or event that would necessitate that Purchaser sell the Shares.

(d) Ability to Bear Economic Loss. Purchaser has sufficient net worth so that Purchaser’s acquisition of the Shares will not be material when compared with Purchaser’s total financial capacity, and Purchaser’s acquisition of the Shares and total investments are reasonable in relation to Purchaser’s total financial capacity. Purchaser can afford to bear the economic risks of investment in the Shares, including the risk of losing the entire investment. Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current financial needs and possible contingencies, exclusive of its investment in the Shares.

(e) Independent Investigations. Purchaser is experienced and knowledgeable in business and financial matters in general and with respect to investments similar to an investment in the Shares in particular, and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of acquiring Shares. Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser has received no representations or warranties from the Corporation or its employees or agents, other than those contained herein, and has relied only upon the investigations conducted by Purchaser and Purchaser’s advisors in acquiring the Shares.

(f) Accredited Investor. Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”), as amended and Purchaser is resident in or otherwise subject to the applicable securities laws of the province of Alberta and it is an “accredited investor”, as such term is defined in National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus and Registration Exemptions of the Canadian Securities Administrators adopted under the securities legislation of the province of Alberta (“NI 45-106”) and reproduced in Schedule “A” to Exhibit 1 of this Agreement and it has concurrently executed and delivered a Representation Letter in the form attached as Exhibit 1 to this Agreement and has initialed or placed a check xxxx in Appendix “A” thereto indicating that the Purchaser satisfies one of the categories of “accredited investor” set forth in such definition.

(g) Brokers or Finders. Purchaser has not incurred any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or other similar payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(h) Regulation S Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

(i) Purchaser understands that the investment offered hereunder has not been registered under the 1933 Act and Purchaser understands that it is purchasing the Shares without being furnished any offering literature or prospectus.

(ii) At the time Purchaser was offered the Shares, it was not, and at the date hereof, it is not a “U.S. Person” which is defined below:

(8) Any partnership or corporation if (i) organized or incorporated under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction and (ii) formed by a U.S. person principally for the purpose of investing in securities not registered under the 1933 Act, unless it is organized or incorporated, and owned, by accredited investors (as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the 0000 Xxx) who are not natural persons, estates or trusts.

(iii) Purchaser understands that no action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction by the Corporation that would permit a public offering of the Shares in any country or jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required.

(iv) Purchaser (1) as of the execution date of this Agreement is not located within the United States, and (2) is not purchasing the Shares for the account or benefit of any U.S. person.

Purchaser further acknowledges that it should consult its own legal counsel in its jurisdiction of residence for full particulars of applicable resale restrictions.

(vii) Purchaser represents and warrants that the funds representing the Purchase Price which will be advanced by the Purchaser to the Corporation hereunder will not represent proceeds of crime for the purposes of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) (the “PCMLA”) and Purchaser acknowledges that the Corporation may in the future be required by law to disclose Purchaser’s name and other information relating to this Agreement and Purchaser’s subscription hereunder, on a confidential basis, pursuant to the PCMLA. To the best of its knowledge, none of the subscription funds to be provided by Purchaser (i) have been or will be derived from or related to any activity that is deemed criminal under the law of Canada, the United States of America, or any other jurisdiction, or (ii) are being tendered on behalf of a person or entity who has not been identified to Purchaser. Purchaser shall promptly notify the Corporation if Purchaser discovers that any of such representations ceases to be true, and to provide the Corporation with appropriate information in connection therewith.

If notice is given to an Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Person does not, within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Person’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person will be bound by any determination made in such Third-Party Claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Person.

(h) Procedure for Indemnification-Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.

(i) Exclusive Remedy. Indemnification provided for in this Section 7 shall be the exclusive remedy available to an Indemnified Party in connection with any Damages arising out of or related to this Agreement, provided that nothing herein will limit any Indemnified Person’s rights hereunder or otherwise to injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce its rights under this Agreement.

(j) Mutual Release. Subject to and upon exercise of the Option (as defined in the Put Option Agreement), the Corporation and Purchaser on behalf of themselves and the Corporation Indemnified Persons and Purchaser Indemnified Persons, respectively, hereby mutually release, remise and forever discharge one another, their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, partners, successors, and assigns, from any and all actions, attorney’s fees, charges, claims, costs, demands, expenses, judgments and liabilities arising, directly or indirectly, from or related to this Agreement.
