The Lenders hereby authorize the Agent:

(a) to carry out the responsibilities and exercise the powers and rights vested in the Agent in this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents;

(b) to exercise all of their respective rights and remedies under the Loan Documents to the exclusion of the Lenders at any time when an Enforcement Notice shall be in effect (subject to a withdrawal of such authorization upon written notice to the Agent executed by Majority Lenders); and

(c) to exercise such other rights and powers as are reasonably incidental to the foregoing rights and powers, or as are customarily and typically exercised by agents performing duties similar to the duties of the Agent hereunder and under the Loan Documents.

The duties of the Agent shall be deemed administrative in nature, and the Agent shall not have, by reason of this Agreement, or any of the Loan Documents, a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. The Agent shall exercise that degree of care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.

3. LIMITATIONS ON DUTIES AND ACTIONS OF AGENT.

The Agent shall have full authority to act on behalf of the Lenders in all matters set out in Section 2, but shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents except that the Agent shall not be bound by any duties or responsibilities set forth in any Loan Document entered into after the date hereof that are more burdensome to the Agent than those set forth herein or in the Loan Documents as in effect on the date hereof. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, excepting only its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

5. INSTRUCTIONS FROM LENDERS; PERMITTED INACTION.

Unless otherwise excused as provided herein the Agent shall act on all written instructions received from the Majority Lenders with respect to any action to be taken or not to be taken in connection with this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents including, without limitation, actions to be taken in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding in respect of a Borrower. If the Agent shall request instructions from the Majority Lenders with respect to taking any particular action in connection with this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, the Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking such particular action unless and until it shall have received written instructions from the Majority Lenders (in which event it shall be required to act in accordance with such written instructions unless otherwise excused as provided herein); and the Agent shall not incur any liability to any Person for so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, the Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent taking or not taking any action hereunder or any of the Loan Documents pursuant to or in accordance with the written instructions of the Majority Lenders, except for the Agent’s own gross negligence or wilful misconduct in connection with any action taken or not taken by it. In addition, without limiting the generality of the above provisions of this Section 5, the Agent shall not be required to act on any instructions purportedly given by the Majority Lenders to instruct the Agent if it has any reason to question whether the Majority Lenders have given such instructions, or if it believes that there is any question of interpretation as to the meaning of such instructions, until such time as it is satisfied that the Majority Lenders have given such instructions or such question of interpretation has been resolved to its satisfaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, the Agent shall not be required to take any action that is, in its opinion (which may be, but is not required to be, based on the advice of legal counsel), contrary to Applicable Law or the terms of any of the Loan Documents or that would, in its reasonable opinion, subject it or any of its officers, employees, representatives, or directors to personal liability or that would require it to expend or risk its own funds.

6. INSTRUCTIONS BY LENDERS.

An approval, instruction or other expression of the Majority Lenders may be obtained by instrument in writing without any meeting of the Lenders. An approval, instruction or other expression by the Majority Lenders shall be binding upon all Lenders as against the Agent, and the Agent shall be bound to give effect thereto accordingly (unless explicitly excused pursuant to the provisions hereof). Nothing in this Section 6 shall require any meeting of the Lenders to be held for any purpose, nor shall any Lender be required to attend any such meeting. The Lenders have appointed the Agent to act on their behalf in accordance with this Agreement and the Loan Documents and the Lenders agree that if the Borrowers receive oral or written instructions from any Lender (including the Majority Lenders) with respect to taking any particular action in connection with this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, the Borrowers shall be entitled to refrain from taking such particular action unless and until they have received written instructions from the Agent (in which case they shall be required to act in accordance with such written instructions unless otherwise excused as provided herein) and the Borrowers shall not incur any liability to any Person for so refraining.

Any amount due under this Section 12.1 and unpaid 30 days after request for such payment will bear interest from the expiration of such 30 days at a rate per annum equal to the then current rate charged by the Agent from time to time, payable on demand. All amounts so payable and the interest thereon will be payable out of any assets in the possession of the Agent in priority to amounts owing to any and all other parties.

12.2 Payment by Lenders.

The Lenders agree that they will pay all of the Agent’s fees and indemnify the Agent (to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Borrowers pursuant to the preceding Section 12.1 and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), rateably in accordance with the respective principal amounts of Obligations held by the Lenders at the time such claim arises; provided that no Lender shall be liable to the Agent for all or any portion of such claims resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The indemnity obligations of the Lenders under this Section 12.2 are subject to the right of any Lender not to be or become subject to such indemnity obligations in respect of any Enforcement Action.

12.3 Survival.

The obligations of the Borrowers and the Lenders under this Section 12 shall survive the payment in full of all the other Obligations, the resignation or removal of the Agent and the termination of this Agreement.

11

13. AGENT’S FUNDS NOT AT RISK.

For purposes of clarity, no provision of this Agreement or the Loan Documents and no request of any Lender or other Person shall require the Agent to expend or risk any of its own funds, or to take any legal or other action under this Agreement or the Loan Documents which might in its reasonable judgment involve any expense or any financial or other liability unless the Agent shall be furnished with indemnification acceptable to it, acting reasonably, including the advance of funds sufficient in the judgment of the Agent to satisfy such liability, costs and expenses.

14. INDEPENDENT CREDIT DECISIONS.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based upon such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

15. DETERMINATION OF LENDERS; SUBSEQUENT LENDERS BOUND.

The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness or obligation relating to any Obligation as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until:

(a) a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee; and

(b) a written acknowledgement agreeing to be bound by the terms hereof signed by the assignee or transferee, each in form reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, shall have been filed with the Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the holder of any such note or other evidence of indebtedness or obligation shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such note or other evidence of indebtedness or obligation and of any note or notes or other evidences of indebtedness or obligation issued in exchange therefor.

16. INTERLENDER PROVISIONS

16.1 Enforcement Action

No Lender may initiate any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any of the Collateral, except to the extent such Lender is acting or qualifies as the “Majority Lenders” and is instructing the Agent. No Lender may seek, and each Lender hereby waives, any right to require any of the Collateral to be partitioned.

This Agreement shall not be deemed to restrict or prohibit any Lender from participating in any Insolvency Proceeding against a Borrower.

(a) to ask for, demand, xxx for, collect, receive, or give acquittance for any and all moneys due or to become due with respect to the Collateral (except that, without the consent of all Lenders the Agent shall not accept any Obligations in whole or partial consideration from the disposition of any Collateral);

16.3 Application of Proceeds

The Lenders and the Borrowers agree that if a Lender (a “Receiving Party”) receives a payment (such payment, a “Shared Payment”) following the receipt of an Enforcement Notice regarding the occurrence of a Trigger Event, such Shared Payment shall be paid over to the Agent to be distributed as provided below. It is understood that such Enforcement Notice may be given at any time after the occurrence of a Trigger Event and that there is no obligation to give such notice immediately upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event. Such obligation to pay over the Shared Payment shall apply regardless of whether the Shared Payment is paid directly by a Borrower as a payment in respect of any of the Obligations, obtained by means of a set-off, received as insurance or expropriation proceeds pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise realized as a result of enforcement action taken with respect to the Collateral or any other collateral securing any of the Obligations, or paid as a distribution in any Insolvency Proceeding, but shall not apply to amounts received by operation of clauses First through Fifth of this Section 16.3 set out below. Shared Payments shall be applied as follows:

First: to the payment of (i) all costs and expenses (including legal or other professional fees, currency conversion expenses and tax liabilities) incurred by the Agent in connection with the execution of its duties hereunder, including all such costs and expenses incurred in connection with the sale, collection or other realization in respect of the Collateral or any Enforcement action taken in respect of any Loan Document or in repayment of all monies borrowed by the Agent to pay such costs and expenses;

13

Second: to the Lenders pro rata in proportion to the respective amounts of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid expenses owed to the Lenders under the Loan Documents;

Third: to the Lenders pro rata in proportion to the respective amounts of the Obligations (other than the Obligations described in clause “Second”) owed to the Lenders under the Loan Documents;

Fourth: to the payment of other obligations of any of the Borrowers to any of the Lenders which are not paid in accordance with the preceding subparagraphs, rateably in accordance with the respective amounts of such other obligations; and

Fifth: after indefeasible payment in full of all Obligations, to the Borrowers or upon the order of the Borrowers, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such amounts.

For any distribution of monies pursuant to this Section 16.3 made to a Lender and denominated in a currency other than the currency in which such distribution is denominated, the Agent shall exchange the relevant portion of such distribution into the equivalent amount of the applicable currency based on exchange rates on the date of distribution.

16.4 Insurance and Expropriation Proceeds

If, at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent receives or, at the time such Event of Default occurs, the Agent is otherwise holding any insurance or expropriation proceeds pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, the Agent shall hold all such amounts and distribute the same in accordance with Section 16.3 hereof.

15

17.3 Conflicts with Loan Documents, Interlender Agreement and other Credit Documents.

The parties hereto agree that, if any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with or contrary to any provisions in any of the Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail as among the parties hereto.

17.4 Successors and Assigns.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns. If any Lender shall transfer the Obligations owing to it, it shall promptly so notify the Agent in writing. No Lender which transfers any Obligations owing to it shall transfer its benefits under the Loan Documents without obtaining from the transferee and delivering to the Agent and the Lenders, a Joinder Agreement and an executed acknowledgement of the transferee agreeing to be bound by the terms hereof to the same extent as if it had been a Lender on the date hereof. Each transferee of any Obligations shall take such Obligations subject to the provisions of this Agreement and to any request made, waiver or consent given or other action taken or authorized hereunder by each previous holder of such Obligations prior to the receipt by the Agent of written notice of such transfer; and, except as expressly otherwise provided in such notice, the Agent shall be entitled to assume conclusively that the transferee named in such notice shall thereafter be vested with all rights and powers as a Lender under this Agreement (and the Agent may conclusively assume that no Obligations have been subject to any transfer other than transfers of which the Agent has received such a notice). Upon the written request of any Lender, the Agent will provide such Lender with copies of any written notices of transfer received pursuant hereto.

17.5 Continuing Effectiveness.

This Agreement shall continue to be effective among the Agent and the Lenders even though a case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or any proceeding in the nature of a receivership, whether or not under any insolvency law, shall be instituted with respect to the Borrowers or any portion of the property or assets of the Borrowers, and all actions taken by the Lenders with respect to the Collateral or by the Agent with regard to such proceeding shall be determined by the Majority Lenders as provided for herein; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be interpreted to preclude any Lender from filing a proof of claim with respect to its Obligations or from casting its vote, or abstaining from voting, for or against confirmation of a plan of reorganization in a case of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law in its sole discretion.

17.6 Further Assurances.

Each Borrower agrees to do such further acts and things and to execute and deliver such additional agreements, powers and instruments as any Lender or the Agent may reasonably request to carry into effect the terms, provisions and purposes of this Agreement or to better assure and confirm unto the Agent or any of the Lenders its respective rights, powers and remedies hereunder.

17.7 Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. A facsimile of the signature of any party on any counterpart shall be effective as the signature of the party executing such counterpart for purposes of effectiveness of this Agreement.

16

17.8 Effectiveness.

This Agreement shall become effective immediately upon execution hereof by the Agent and the Lenders, and upon execution and delivery by the Borrowers of the Loan Documents to which each is a party, and shall continue in full force and effect until the expiration of 90 days following the date on which the Obligations are paid in full, the Notes have been terminated and cancelled and no other extensions of credit under the Notes shall be outstanding, notwithstanding that from time to time prior thereto the Borrower may be free from any Obligations

17.9 Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted and enforced in accordance with, the laws in force in the Province of British Columbia (excluding any conflicts of laws rule or principle which might refer such construction to the laws of another jurisdiction). Such choice of law shall, however, be without prejudice to or limitation of any other rights available to the Agent or any Lender under the laws of any jurisdiction where a Borrower or its property may be located.

17.10 Headings.

Headings of sections of this Agreement have been included herein for convenience only and should not be considered in interpreting this Agreement.

17.11 No Implied Beneficiaries.

Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person other than the Lenders and the Agent any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any covenant, condition or stipulation herein contained.

17.12 Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or deemed to be, or shall in fact be, inoperative or unenforceable as applied in any particular case in any jurisdiction, or because it conflicts with any other provision or provisions hereof or with any constitution or statute or rule of public policy, or for any other reason, such circumstance shall not have the effect of rendering the provision in question inoperative or unenforceable in any other case or circumstance, or rendering any other provision herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to any extent whatsoever. Upon the determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to give effect to their original intention as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the maximum extent possible.

17

17.13 Obligations Several.

The obligations and representations and warranties of each of the parties herein are several. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating among the Lenders a partnership, joint venture or other joint association.

17.14 No Obligation to Extend Credit.

No provision of this Agreement shall be construed as obligating any Lender to advance any monies or otherwise extend credit to a Borrower at any time.

17.15 Representations of Parties.

Each of the parties hereto, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that such party has all requisite power and capacity to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such party and that this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such party, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of Lenders’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or law).

17.16 Third Party Interests.

Each party to this Agreement hereby represents to the Agent that any account to be opened by, or interest to held by the Agent in connection with this Agreement, for or to the credit of such party, either (i) is not intended to be used by or on behalf of any third party; or (ii) is intended to be used by or on behalf of a third party, in which case such party hereto agrees to complete and execute forthwith a declaration in the Agent’s prescribed form as to the particulars of such third party.

17.17 agent not bound to act.

The Agent shall retain the right not to act and shall not be liable for refusing to act if, due to a lack of information or for any other reason whatsoever, the Agent, in its sole judgment, determines that such act might cause it to be in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist legislation, regulation or guideline, provided that it shall give written notice of such determination to each Lender. Further, should the Agent, in its sole judgment, determine at any time that its acting under this Agreement has resulted in its being in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist legislation, regulation or guideline, then it shall have the right to resign on 10 days’ written notice to the other parties to this Agreement, provided (i) that the Agent’s written notice shall describe the circumstances of such non-compliance; and (ii) that if such circumstances are rectified to the Agent’s satisfaction within such 10-day period, then such resignation shall not be effective.
