Indemnities. The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees to protect, indemnify and each of the other dealers appointed by the Agent and their respective directors, officers, employees, solicitors and agents hold harmless the Agent, and its directors, officers, employees, solicitors and agents (individually, an "Indemnified Party" and, collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against all losses (except for loss of profits), claims, expenses, costs, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several (including the aggregate amount paid in reasonable settlement of any actions, suits, proceedings or claims) which they may suffer or incur by reason of the performance of professional services, caused by or arising directly or indirectly by reason of:

the Corporation not complying with any requirement of any applicable Canadian Securities Laws;

any breach of or default under any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Corporation set out herein or any other document to be delivered pursuant hereto, or the Corporation's failure to comply with any of its obligations hereunder; or

any legal proceedings involving the Corporation.

provided that the Corporation shall not be liable under this Section 12 to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgement that such loss, claim, expense, cost, damage or liability resulted from any act or failure to act undertaken or omitted to be undertaken by the Agent through its bad faith, negligence or wilful misconduct.

If any action or claim shall be asserted against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the Corporation pursuant to the provisions hereof, or if any potential claim contemplated by this section shall come to the knowledge of an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Corporation in writing of the nature of such action or claim (provided that any failure to so notify shall not affect the Corporation's liability under this paragraph unless such delay has prejudiced the defence to such claim). The Corporation shall be entitled but not obliged to participate in or assume the defence thereof, provided, however that the defence shall be through legal counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably and without undue delay. In addition, the Indemnified Party shall also have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defence thereof, and the fees and expense of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized in writing by the Corporation; (ii) the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel acceptable to the Corporation, acting reasonably, that representation of the Corporation and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them; (iii) the Corporation has failed within a reasonable time after receipt of such written notice to assume the defence of such action or claim; or (iv) there are one or more legal defences available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those defences available to the Corporation. It is understood and agreed that the Corporation shall not, in connection with any suit in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the legal fees and expenses of more than one separate legal firm to represent the Indemnified Parties. Neither party shall effect any settlement of any such action or claim or make any admission of liability without the written consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The indemnity hereby provided for shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be limited to or affected by any other indemnity in respect of any matters specified in this section obtained by the Indemnified Party from any other person.

To the extent that any Indemnified Party is not a party to this Agreement, the Agent shall obtain and hold the right and benefit of this section in trust for and on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

The Corporation hereby waives any right that it may have of first requiring the Indemnified Party to proceed against or enforce any other right, power, remedy or security or claim payment from any other person before claiming under this Section 12 as well as any right to contribution which it may have against the Indemnified Party.

The Corporation hereby consents to personal jurisdiction and service and venue in any court in which any claim which is subject to indemnification hereunder is brought against the Agent or any Indemnified Party and to the assignment of the benefit of this section to any Indemnified Party for the purpose of enforcement provided that nothing herein shall limit the Corporation's right or ability to contest the appropriate jurisdiction or forum for the determination of any such claims.

Contribution. In the event that, for any reason, the indemnity provided for in Section 12 hereof is illegal or unenforceable, each of the Agent and the Corporation shall contribute to the aggregate of all losses, claims, costs, damages, expenses or liabilities (except loss of profits in connection with the sale of Common Shares) of the nature provided for in Section 12 hereof such that the Agent shall be responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the Agent's portion of the Placement Fee (as contemplated herein) bears to the gross proceeds from the Offering and the Corporation shall be responsible for the balance, provided that in no event shall the Agent be responsible for any amount in excess of that Agent's portion of the Placement Fee actually received by it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation, bad faith, negligence or wilful misconduct shall not be entitled to contribution from any other party. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receiving notice of commencement of any claim, action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this section, notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought. In no case shall such party from whom contribution may be sought be liable under this agreement unless such notice shall have been provided, but the omission to so notify such party shall not relieve the party from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it may have otherwise than under this section. The right to contribution provided in this section shall be in additional an not in derogation of any other right to contribution which the Agent may have by statute or otherwise by law.

Legal Proceedings. The Corporation agrees that if:

any legal proceeding shall be brought against the Corporation or the Agent by any governmental commission or regulatory authority or any stock exchange; or

any entity having regulatory authority, either domestic or foreign, shall investigate the Corporation or the Agent,

and personnel of the Agent are required to testify in connection therewith or shall be required to respond to procedures designed to discover information regarding the performance of professional services rendered to the Corporation by the Agent, the Agent shall have the right to employ its own counsel in connection therewith, and unless it is finally determined that the Agent was negligent or guilty of wilful misconduct and such negligence or wilful misconduct was the cause of the legal proceeding or investigation or the Agent is fined or found guilty of any offence or breach of laws, rules, regulations, policies, by-laws or instruments by the party bringing such investigation or legal proceeding and the conduct of the Agent was the cause of the legal proceeding or investigation, the Corporation will pay the Agent a per diem amount for the services of the Agent based on the normal consulting fees of the Agent together with such disbursements and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses as may be incurred in connection therewith, including fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent incurred in connection with such testimony or participation.

Breach of Agreement. All terms and conditions of this agreement to be performed or satisfied by the Corporation shall be constituted as conditions and any breach of, or failure by the Corporation to comply with, any term or condition of this agreement shall entitle the Agent, on behalf of the purchasers of the Units, to terminate their respective obligations to purchase the Units by notice to that effect given to the Corporation prior to the Closing Time. In the event of any such termination, there shall be no further liability on the part of the Corporation or the Agent except in respect of any liability which may have arisen or may thereafter arise under Sections 10, 12 or 13 hereof. The Agent may waive, in whole or in part, or extend the time for compliance with, any terms and conditions without prejudice to its rights in respect of any other terms and conditions or any other subsequent breach or non-compliance provided, however, that any waiver or extension must be in writing and signed by the Agent in order to be binding upon it.

Advertisements. Subject to the prior consent of the Corporation, the Agent shall have the right, at its own expense, to place such advertisement or advertisements relating to the sale of the Units contemplated herein as the Agent may consider desirable or appropriate and as may be permitted by applicable law. The Corporation and the Agent each agree that they will not make or publish any advertisement in any media whatsoever relating to, or otherwise publicize, the transactions provided for herein so as to result in any exemption from the prospectus and registration requirements of applicable securities legislation in the Offering Provinces being unavailable in respect of the sale of the Common Shares to prospective purchasers.
