(a) the Agent shall carry out the responsibilities and exercise the powers and rights vested in the Agent in this Agreement;

(b) if a Securityholder has not executed and delivered, or consented to the execution, dating and/or delivery of, such documents, instruments and agreements as required or reasonably necessary to complete the transfer of the Additional Optioned Shares within the Additional Option Period, then the Agent may execute such documents, instruments and agreements as required or reasonably necessary to complete the transfer of the Additional Optioned Shares;

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

Section 6.3 Agent’s Individual Capacity

The Agent shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Securityholder as any other Securityholder and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent and the term “Securityholder” or “Securityholders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Agent in its individual capacity and not in its capacity as Agent. The Agent may generally engage in any kind of business with the Optionor, the Optionee, the Securityholders, or any of their respective affiliates as if the Agent were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Securityholders.

15

Section 6.4 Agent’s Related Party Transactions

Each Securityholder acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) the Agent and its present or former representatives and affiliates and the immediate family members of any of the foregoing Persons is or may become in the future a party to or a beneficiary of a contract with the Optionor or the Optionee or has or may have in the future an interest in any property used or held for use by the Optionor or the Optionee or take actions that may conflict with the interests of the Securityholders (collectively, the “Affiliate Activities”);

(b) the Agent is not under any duty to disclose to any Securityholder or use on behalf of the Securityholders any information whatsoever about or derived from the Affiliate Activities or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Affiliate Activities as a result of acting as the Agent or in any other capacity hereunder; and

(c) the Agent is not required to restrict any of its activities as a result of acting as the Agent hereunder and that it may undertake any activities outside of its role as Agent hereunder without further consultation with or notification to any Securityholder.

Section 6.5 Limitations On Duties And Actions Of Agent

The Agent shall have full authority to act on behalf of the Securityholders in all matters set out in Article 4, in accordance with the terms of the Agent’s engagement as provided in Section 6.2, including, but not limited to, the execution and delivery of any documents or instruments as may be necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, but shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement. 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, in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, excepting only its own gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

Section 6.6 Agent’s Use Of Professionals

The Agent may, at the expense of the Securityholders on a Pro Rata Basis (severally, and not jointly or jointly and severally), employ one or more professionals to advise or assist it from time to time. The Agent shall be entitled to rely on the advice and statements of professionals reasonably selected. The Agent may pay reasonable remuneration for all services performed for it in the discharge of its duties hereof without deduction from any other amount the Agent may be entitled to pursuant to this Agreement, whether in his capacity as Agent or otherwise, for costs or fees of any professionals.

Section 6.7 Instructions From Holders; Permitted Inaction

Unless otherwise excused as provided herein, the Agent shall act on all written instructions received from the Majority Holders, who shall all act reasonably in all respects and without undue delay, with respect to any action to be taken or not to be taken in connection with this Agreement including, without limitation, actions to be taken in connection with the Additional Option. If the Agent shall request instructions from the Majority Holders with respect to taking any particular action in connection with this Agreement, the Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking such particular action unless and until it shall have received written instructions from the Majority Holders (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 Securityholders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent taking or not taking any action hereunder pursuant to or in accordance with the written instructions of the Majority Holders, except for the Agent’s own gross negligence or intentional 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 6.7, the Agent shall not be required to act on any instructions purportedly given by the Majority Holders to instruct the Agent if it has any reason to question whether the Majority Holders 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 Holders have given such instructions or such question of interpretation has been resolved to its satisfaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Agent shall not be required to take any action that is, in its reasonable opinion (which may be, but is not required to be, based on the advice of legal counsel), contrary to Applicable Law or any action 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.

16

Section 6.8 Instructions By Majority Holders

An approval, instruction or other expression of the Majority Holders may be obtained by instrument in writing without any meeting of the Securityholders. An approval, instruction or other expression by the Majority Holders shall be binding upon all Securityholders 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 Article 6 shall require any meeting of the Securityholders to be held for any purpose, nor shall any Securityholders be required to attend any such meeting. The Securityholders have appointed the Agent to act on their behalf in accordance with this Agreement and the Securityholders agree that if the Optionor or the Optionee receives oral or written instructions from any Securityholder (including the Majority Holders) with respect to taking any particular action in connection with this Agreement, the Optionor and the Optionee, as applicable, shall, and the Optionor and the Optionee hereby agree 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 Optionor and the Optionee, as applicable, shall not incur any liability to any Person for so refraining.

Section 6.9 Dispute Among Majority Holders

(a)

In the event of any dispute, claim, question or difference arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any breach hereof amongst the Majority Holders and/or the Agent with respect to any approval, instruction or other expression to be given to the Agent, the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to settle such dispute. To this effect, they shall consult and negotiate with each other, in good faith and understanding of their mutual interests, to reach a just and equitable solution satisfactory to all parties.

(b)

If the parties hereto are unable to settle such dispute within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which such dispute first arose or became known to the Majority Holders and the Agent, then each of them agrees that such dispute shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Domestic Arbitration Rules of the Vancouver International Commercial Arbitration Centre, as amended from time to time, based upon the following, as permitted pursuant to such rules:

	(i)	the tribunal shall consist of one (1) arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) appointed by mutual agreement of the parties or, in the event of a failure to agree within ten (10) Business Days, any party to the Dispute may apply to a court of competent authority to appoint an Arbitrator. The Arbitrator shall be qualified by education and training to pass upon the particular matter to be decided;
	(ii)	the Arbitrator shall be instructed that time is of the essence in proceeding with his or her or its determination of the Dispute and, in any event, the award of the
		Arbitrator must be rendered within thirty (30) calendar days after the day in which the submission of such Dispute to arbitration was made;

17

	(iii)	the arbitration shall take place in or about Vancouver, British Columbia and shall take place in the English language;
	(iv)	the arbitration award shall be given in writing and shall be final and binding on the parties, not subject to any appeal, and shall deal with the question of costs of arbitration and all matters related thereto; and

Section 6.10 Bank Account

Without restricting its other powers set out in this Agreement, the Agent may maintain the Agent’s Account and deposit into the Agent’s Account all payments that it may receive for the benefit of the Securityholders pursuant to this Agreement and pay out those amounts to the applicable Securityholders based on the allocations set out at Schedule “A” hereto or any Updated Securityholders List, within five Business Days of those amounts being credited to the Agent’s Account, subject to withholdings for such Securityholder’s portion on a Pro Rata Basis of any reasonable expenses properly incurred in accordance with Section 6.6.

(a) shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for the correctness of any recitals, statements, representations, or warranties contained herein except for those expressly made by the Agent herein;

(b) makes no representation or warranty as to and is not responsible in any way for:

	(i)	title of each Securityholder to any of their Additional Optioned Shares;
	(ii)	the identity, authority or right of any Securityholder, the Optionor or the Optionee executing any document; and

(c) shall have no liability in respect of any matters described in Sections 6.11(a) or 6.11(b).

The Agent shall not have any duty to verify or confirm the content of any writing, instruction, resolution, notice,consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, facsimile, e-mail or other document as provided in this section, other than as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

(a)

The Agent may resign on 90 days’ prior written notice (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Majority Holders and the Agent) to the Securityholders’ and may be removed for or without cause at any time by the Majority Holders. In the event of any resignation or removal, the Majority Holders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent, but, if the Majority Holders have not appointed a successor Agent within 60 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or its removal, the retiring Agent shall, at the expense of the Securityholders (on a Pro Rata Basis), on behalf of the Securityholders either appoint a successor Agent or apply to the appropriate court to make such appointment. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, to be evidenced by the successor Agent’s execution and delivery to the other parties hereto of a counterpart of this Agreement and a Joinder Agreement, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges, duties and obligations of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from any further duties and obligations as Agent, as appropriate, under this Agreement. The obligations of the Majority Holders pursuant to this Agreement shall survive any such removal or resignation in favor of the retiring Agent in respect of any matter arising during its tenure as Agent.

(b)

Upon the request of any successor Agent, and at the expense of the Optionor, the Securityholders, the Optionor, the Optionee and the predecessor Agent shall promptly execute and deliver such instruments, conveyances, and assurances reflecting terms consistent with the terms of this Agreement for the purpose of more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in such successor Agent all rights, powers, duties, and obligations of the predecessor Agent hereunder, and the predecessor Agent shall also promptly assign and deliver to the successor Agent monies for the benefit of the Securityholders that may then be in its possession.

Section 6.14 Indemnification of the Agent

(a)

Without limiting any other protection of the Agent hereunder or otherwise by law, the Optionor shall indemnify the Agent for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, claims, demands, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (other than the Agent’s normal fees for its services hereunder) that may be suffered by, imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent whether groundless or otherwise, howsoever arising from or out of any act, omission or error of the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the enforcement of any of the terms of any thereof, including reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel; provided that the Optionor shall not be liable for any such payment to the Agent to the extent the obligation to make such payment arises solely from the Agent’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct. All statements from the Agent or any other Person for obligations owing by the Optionor pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be sent to the Securityholders in the first instance but may thereafter be sent to the Optionor if timely payment is not made. Any amount due under this Section 6.14 and unpaid 30 days after request for such payment will bear interest from the expiration of such 30 days at the interest rate equal to the then Bank of Canada’s prime rate. All amounts so payable and the interest thereon will be made payable out of any assets in the possession of the Agent in priority to amounts owing to any and all other parties.

(b)

The Securityholders agree that they indemnify the Agent (to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Optionor pursuant to this Section 6.14 and without limiting the obligation of the Optionor to do so), ratably in accordance with their allocations as set forth in Schedule “A” hereto; provided that no Securityholder shall be liable to the Agent for all or any portion of such claims resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

19

(c) The obligations of the Optionor and the Securityholders under this Section 6.14 shall survive the payment in full any monies on exercise of the Additional Option, the resignation or removal of the Agent and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 6.15 Agent’s Funds Not At Risk

For purposes of clarity, no provision of this Agreement and no request of any Securityholder 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 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. For the avoidance of doubt, any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be reimbursed by the Securityholders on a Pro Rata Basis, severally, but not jointly or jointly and severally.

Section 6.16 Determination Of Holders And Obligations

In determining the identity of Securityholders and amounts payable hereunder on exercise of the Additional Option and other matters in connection therewith, the Agent may rely on the records of the Optionor, absent manifest error, and shall not be liable in any manner whatsoever to any Securityholder for any action taken in reliance of such records.
