Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto agree that compliance with the limitation set forth in the immediately preceding sentence on the number of Common Shares issued and sold under this Agreement and under any single Prospectus Supplement shall be the sole responsibility of the Company, and the Investor shall have no obligation in connection with such compliance. The Common Shares to be purchased hereunder are referred to herein as the “Purchase Shares.”

The Company has prepared and filed with the British Columbia Securities Commission (the “BCSC”) and the other Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities other than the Québec Autorité des marchés financiers (the BCSC and such other regulatory authorities, collectively, the “Canadian Commissions”), a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus, dated January 29, 2014, relating to the offering of up to an aggregate amount of US$250,000,000 of Common Shares, preferred shares, debt securities, and warrants or any combination thereof (collectively, the “Covered Securities”), and a final short form base shelf prospectus, dated February 13, 2014, in respect of offers and sales, from time to time of the Covered Securities (together with any documents incorporated therein by reference, and any supplements or amendments thereto, the “Canadian Base Prospectus”) in accordance with the applicable securities laws of each of the provinces of Canada, other than Québec (the “Qualifying Jurisdictions”), and the respective applicable rules and regulations under such laws, together with applicable published national, multilateral and local policy statements, instruments, notices and blanket orders of the Canadian Commissions (collectively “Canadian Securities Laws”). The Company has prepared the Canadian Base Prospectus pursuant to National Instrument 44-101—Short Form Prospectus Distributions (“NI 44-101”) and NI 44-102 (together, the “Shelf Procedures”).

The registration statement on Form F-10, including the exhibits thereto and the documents incorporated by reference therein and including the U.S. Base Prospectus, as amended at the time it became effective, is herein called the “Registration Statement.” Any reference to any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the U.S. Base Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed with the SEC after the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the date of such U.S. Base Prospectus and prior to the termination of this offering and which are incorporated by reference in such Registration Statement or U.S. Base Prospectus.

Any Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee, 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 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 Indemnitee, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel.

(k) No Financial Advisor, Placement Agent, Broker or Finder. The Company represents and warrants to the Investor that, except as disclosed in the Prospectus Supplement, it has not engaged any financial advisor, placement agent, broker or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Investor represents and warrants to the Company that it has not engaged any financial advisor, placement agent, broker or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall not be responsible for the payment of any fees or commissions, if any, of any broker-dealer engaged by the Investor after the date of this Agreement in connection with any resale of the Securities by the Investor. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any fees or commissions, if any, of any financial advisor, placement agent, broker or finder engaged by the Company relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Company shall not be responsible for the payment of any fees or commissions, if any, of any financial advisor, placement agent, broker or finder engaged by the Investor in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall pay, and hold the Investor harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and out of pocket expenses) arising in connection with any claim for fees or commissions of any financial advisor, placement agent, broker or finder engaged by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(l) No Strict Construction. 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.

(m) Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The parties remedies provided in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Investor’s remedies provided in Section 9, shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available to the parties under this Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), no remedy of any party contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall limit any party’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the other party to comply with the terms of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that a breach by any party of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the non-breaching party and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The parties therefore agree that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the non-breaching party shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

(n) Enforcement Costs.

(o) Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived other than in a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. No failure or delay in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

(p) Adjustments for Share Splits. The parties acknowledge and agree that all share-related numbers contained in this Agreement shall be adjusted to take into account any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction effected with respect to the Common Shares.
