anti-takeover, business combination or control share law or statute binding on the Company or to
which the Company or any of its assets and properties may be subject and any provision of the
Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws that is or could reasonably be expected to become
applicable to the Investors as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby, including without
limitation, the issuance of the Securities and the ownership, disposition or voting of the
Securities by the Investors or the exercise of any right granted to the Investors pursuant to this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.
5.6. Issuance of the Securities. The Notes are (or will be) duly authorized and, when issued
and paid for in accordance with the Transaction Documents, will be duly and validly created, free

shares of Common Stock, other than in connection with the Company’s stock option plan. The issue
and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other
securities to any Person (other than the Investors) and will not result in a right of any holder of
Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such
securities. Except as described on Schedule 5.7 to the Disclosure Schedules, there are no
voting agreements, buy-sell agreements, option or right of first purchase agreements or other

to be filed by them for all years and periods (and portions thereof) for which any such tax
returns were due, except where the failure to so file would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
All such filed tax returns are accurate in all material respects. The Company has timely paid all
taxes due and payable (whether or not shown on filed tax returns), except where the failure to so

deficiencies or claims for additional taxes that have not been paid. The reserves for taxes, if

is, properly classified by the Company or its Subsidiaries as an employee or an independent
contractor.

Subsidiaries is or is alleged to be in violation of any term of any employment contract,
disclosure agreement, proprietary information and inventions agreement or any other
contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant or any other common law obligation to a former
employer relating to the right of any such employee to be employed by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries because of the nature of the business conducted or to be conducted by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries or to the use of trade secrets or proprietary information of others, and
the employment of the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries does not subject the Company or
the Company’s stockholders to any liability. There is neither pending nor, to the Company’s
knowledge, threatened any actions, suits, proceedings or claims, or, to the Company’s knowledge,
any basis therefor or threat thereof with respect to any contract, agreement, covenant or
obligation referred to in the preceding sentence.
(c) No material labor dispute exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent with
respect to any of the employees of the Company which could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark
applications, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and other similar rights that are
necessary or material for use in connection with their respective businesses as described in the
SEC Reports and the Memorandum and which the failure to so have could have or reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property
Rights”). Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a written notice that the
Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company or any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the
rights of any Person. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are
enforceable. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable steps to protect the Company’s

necessary for the conduct of Company’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ respective businesses as
currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted has executed an agreement to maintain
the confidentiality of such Confidential Information and has executed appropriate agreements that
are substantially consistent with the Company’s standard forms thereof. Except under
confidentiality obligations, there has been no material disclosure of any of the Company’s or its
Subsidiaries’ Confidential Information to any third party.

any Subsidiary is in violation of any statute, rule, regulation, decision or order of any
Governmental Body relating to the use, disposal or release of hazardous or toxic substances or
relating to the protection or restoration of the environment or human exposure to hazardous or
toxic substances (collectively, “Environmental Laws”), owns or operates any real property
contaminated with any substance that is subject to any Environmental Laws, is liable for any
off-site disposal or contamination pursuant to any Environmental Laws, or is subject to any claim
relating to any Environmental Laws, which violation, contamination, liability or claim has had or
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, individually or in the aggregate;
and there is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened investigation that might lead to
such a claim.
5.19. Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized
financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and
customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged as described in

(a) The Company projects that it will produce at least 60,000 ounces of gold (the
“Production Target”) in its fiscal years ending December 31, 2010 and 2011 combined. The Company
acknowledges that the Placement Agent and the Investors are making their investment decision and
valuation of the Company based in part based upon these projections.
27
(b) The Company will notify the Placement Agent in writing, including a certification signed
by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, within ninety (90) days
following the end of its fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 as to whether it has achieved the
Production Target. If the Company fails to achieve the Production Target, then the annual
interest rate of the Notes shall automatically increase by three (3) additional percentage
points, with such increase being applied retroactively beginning on January 15, 2012.
(c) If an Investor converts such Investor’s Note prior to the date that the Company delivers
the notice to the Placement Agent described in 8.9(b), then such Investor will not be entitled to
receive any benefit from the increased annual interest rate. If an investor transfers such
Investor’s Note, then the right of such Investor to receive such increased interest rate hereunder
shall transfer along with the Note to the transferee of the Note.
(d) The increase in the annual interest rate of the Notes pursuant to this Section 8.9 shall
not apply if the Company fails to achieve the Production Target due to (i) a taking by eminent
domain, requisitions, laws or orders of the Governmental Bodies in which the Company’s mining
operations are conducted, or (ii) the Company’s failure to obtain, timely or at all, the requisite
business licenses necessary to conduct the Company’s mining operations from such Governmental
Bodies (provided that the Company has used commercially reasonable efforts to timely
obtain such business licenses).
8.9. Right of First Refusal.
(a) From the date hereof until the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the initial Closing
Date, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or
otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other
disposition of) any of its or its Subsidiaries’ convertible promissory notes (any such offer, sale,
grant, disposition or announcement being referred to as a “Subsequent Placement”) unless the
Company shall have first complied with this Section 8.10.
(b) The Company shall deliver to each Investor hereunder a written notice (the “Offer Notice”)
of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange (the “Offer”) of the notes being offered
(the “Offered Notes”) in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (w) identify and describe
the Offered Notes, (x) describe the price and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or
exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Notes to be issued, sold or exchanged, (y)
identify the persons or entities (if known) to which or with which the Offered Notes are to be
offered, issued, sold or exchanged and (z) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with such
Investors all of the Offered Notes, allocated among such Investors (a) based on such Investor’s pro
rata portion of the total Investment Amount hereunder (the “Basic Amount”), and (b) with respect to
each Investor that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion of the Offered Notes
attributable to the Basic Amounts of other Investors as such Investor shall indicate it will
purchase or acquire should the other Investors subscribe for less than their
Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription Amount”), which process shall be repeated until the
Investors shall have an opportunity to subscribe for any remaining Undersubscription Amount.
(c) To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Investor must deliver a written notice to
the Company prior to the end of the fifth (5th) Business Day after such
28
Investor’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Offer Period”), setting forth the portion of such
Investor’s Basic Amount that such Investor elects to purchase and, if such Investor shall elect to
purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Investor elects
to purchase (in either case, the “Notice of Acceptance”). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by
all Investors are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Investor who has set
forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in
addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for;
provided, however, that if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference
between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “Available
Undersubscription Amount”), each Investor who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount
shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the
Basic Amount of such Investor bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Investors that have
subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by the Company to the extent its
deems reasonably necessary.
(d) The Company shall have twenty (20) Business Days from the expiration of the
Offer Period above to (i) offer, issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered Notes as
to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Investors (the “Refused Notes”), but only
to the offerees described in the Offer Notice (if so described therein) and only upon terms and
conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not more
favorable to the acquiring person or persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth
in the Offer Notice and (ii) to publicly announce (a) the execution of such Subsequent Placement
Agreement (as defined below), and (b) either (x) the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by such Subsequent Placement Agreement or (y) the termination of such Subsequent Placement
Agreement, which shall be filed with the SEC on an appropriate form with such Subsequent Placement
Agreement and any documents contemplated therein filed as exhibits thereto. If no disclosure has
been made by the Company by the end of the twenty (20) Business Day period referred to in this
subsection (d), the Subsequent Placement shall be deemed to have been abandoned and the Investors
shall no longer be deemed to be in possession of any non-public information with respect to the
Company.
(e) In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Notes (any such
sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in this Section), then each Investor may, at
its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number or amount of the Offered Notes
specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or amount
of the Offered Notes that such Investor elected to purchase pursuant to Section 8.10(c) above
multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Notes
the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Notes to be issued or
sold to Investors pursuant to Section 8.10(c) above prior to such reduction) and (ii) the
denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Notes. In the event that any
Investor so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Notes specified in its Notice of
Acceptance, the Company may not issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of
the Offered Notes unless and until such Offered Notes have again been offered to the Investors in
accordance with Section 8.10(b) above.
(f) Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused
Notes, the Investors shall acquire from the Company, and the Company shall issue to the Investors,
the number or amount of Offered Notes specified in the Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant
to Section 8.10(e) above if the Investors have so elected,
29
upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The purchase by the Investors of any
Offered Notes is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company
and the Investors of a purchase agreement relating to such Offered Notes reasonably satisfactory
in form and substance to the Investors and their respective counsel (such agreement, the
“Subsequent Placement Agreement”).
(g) Any Offered Notes not acquired by the Investors or other persons in accordance with
Section 8.10(f) above may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again offered to the
Investors under the procedures specified in this Agreement.
(h) In exchange for the Company’s willingness to agree to these procedures, each Investor
hereby irrevocably agrees that it will hold in strict confidence any and all Offer Notices, the
information contained therein, and the fact that the Company is contemplating a Subsequent
Placement, until such time as the Company is obligated to make the disclosures required by
Section 8.10(d), or unless it notifies the Company in writing that it no longer desires to
receive Offer Notices.
(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.10 shall not apply in respect of an
issuance of promissory notes pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions, provided any
such issuance shall only be to a Person which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an
operating company in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and in which the
Company receives benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a
transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising
capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities.
8.10. Further Assurances. The Company will, and will cause all of its Subsidiaries to, and
their management to, use their best efforts to satisfy all of the closing conditions under Section
7, and will not take any action which could frustrate or delay the satisfaction of such
conditions. In addition, either prior to or following the Closing, the Company will, and will
cause each of its Subsidiaries to, and its and their management to, perform, or cause to be done
and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other
agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in
order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby.

and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or
defending any action, claim or proceeding, pending or threatened and the costs of enforcement
thereof) (collectively, “Losses”) to which such Person may become subject as a result of any
breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by or to be performed on the part
of the Company under the Transaction Documents, and will reimburse any such Person for all such
amounts as they are incurred by such Person.
(b) Promptly after receipt by any Person (the “Indemnified Person”) of notice of any demand,
claim or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any
action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this
Section 9.9, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company
shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however,
that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company
of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced by
such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to
retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed
to the retention of such counsel; or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such
Indemnified Person representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due
to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Company shall not be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the
plaintiff, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Person from and against
any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment.
Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or
33
threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and
indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement
includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such
proceeding.
9.10. Restricted Securities.
(a) All certificates representing Securities shall bear the restrictive legend specified in
Section 9.10(b) and 9.10(c) of this Agreement only to the extent required by applicable law and as
specified in the Transaction Documents. The Company warrants that no instruction other than such
instructions referred to in this Section 9.10 will be given by the Company to its transfer agent
and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the
Company as and to the extent permitted by applicable law and provided by this Agreement. Nothing
in this Section shall affect in any way any Investor’s obligations and agreement to comply with all
applicable securities laws upon resale of the Securities. If the Purchaser (i) provides the Company
with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that registration by the
Purchaser of the Securities is not required under the Securities Act, or (ii) transfers Securities
to an affiliate which is an accredited investor (in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement) or in compliance with Rule 144, then in either instance the Company shall permit the
said transfer, and if applicable promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more
certificates in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Investor.
(b) Certificates evidencing the Securities will contain the following legend, so long
as is required by this Section:
NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF
THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY
NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT
SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN
ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL
OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH
SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. NOTWITHSTANDING THE
FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE
MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR REFINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE
SECURITIES.
34
(c) The certificates representing the Notes and Warrants and, if issued within four months
from the Closing Date, the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares will bear the following legends
substantially in the following forms:
“UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY
MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE l, 2010” [the date which is four months
and one day after the Closing Date will be inserted]
“THE SECURITIES [ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE/CONVERSION OF THE SECURITIES]
REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE LISTED ON THE TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE
(“TSX”); HOWEVER, THE SAID SECURITIES CANNOT BE TRADED THROUGH THE
FACILITIES OF TSX SINCE THEY ARE NOT FREELY TRANSFERABLE, AND CONSEQUENTLY
ANY CERTIFICATE REPRESENTING SUCH SECURITIES IS NOT “GOOD DELIVERY” IN
SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON TSX.”
provided that subsequent to the date which is four months and one day after the Closing Date the
certificates representing the Securities may be exchanged for certificates bearing no such
legends.
(d) Other than the legends specified in Sections 9.10(b)-(c), certificates evidencing
Securities shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 9.10(b)): (i)
following a sale or transfer of such Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement, or
(ii) following a sale or transfer of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferee
is not an Affiliate of the Company), or (iii) while such Securities are eligible for sale without
volume limitations pursuant to Rule 144. If an Investor shall make a sale or transfer of Securities
either (x) pursuant to Rule 144 or (y) pursuant to a registration statement and in each case shall
have delivered to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent the certificate representing
Securities containing a restrictive legend which are the subject of such sale or transfer and a
representation letter in customary form (the date of such sale or transfer and Share delivery being
the “Share Delivery Date”) and (1) the Company shall fail to deliver or cause to be delivered to
such Investor a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive or other
legends, other than the legends set forth in Sections 9.10(b)-(c) by the third Trading Day
following the Share Delivery Date and (2) following such third Trading Day after the Share Delivery
Date and prior to the time such Securities are received free from restrictive legends, the
Investor, or any third party on behalf of such Investor is required by its broker to purchase (in
an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock (and purchases such shares) to
deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of such Shares (a “Buy-In”), then the Company
shall pay in cash to the Investor (for costs incurred either directly by such Investor or on behalf
of a third party) the amount by which the total purchase price paid for Common Stock as a result of
the Buy-In (including brokerage commissions, if any) exceed the proceeds received by such Investor
as a result of the sale to which such Buy-In relates. The Investor shall provide the Company
written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Investor in respect of the Buy-In.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions related to the Buy-In shall only apply if the
Investor has delivered the duly completed and executed requisite documentation, satisfactory
35
to the Company and its transfer agent, to effect the removal of the legends specified in Sections
9.10(b)-(c).
9.11. Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when
taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when
counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood
that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is
delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of
the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect
as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.
9.12. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions
of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt
to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon
so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
9.13. Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or
granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Investors and the Company will be
entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary
damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of
obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for
specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
9.14. Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any
Investor pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Investor enforces or exercises its rights
thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any
part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside,
recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the
Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any
bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent
of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
9.15. Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each
Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other
Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of
any other Investor under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction
Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the
Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create
a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to
such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Document. Each Investor shall
be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the
rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be
necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose. Each Investor has been represented by its
36
own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The
Company has elected to provide all Investors with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the
convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Investors.
9.16. Irrevocable Offer. Each Investor agrees that this Agreement constitutes an irrevocable
offer to purchase the Securities of the Company and that Investor cannot cancel, terminate or
revoke this Agreement or any agreement of Investor made hereunder. This Agreement shall survive the
death or legal disability of Investor and shall be binding upon Investor’s heirs, executors,
administrators and successors.

9% SUBORDINATED UNSECURED CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE
PROMISSORY NOTE
PROMISSORY NOTE
CAD $ | , 2010 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, OLYMPUS PACIFIC MINERALS INC., a Canadian corporation (the “Company”),
promises to pay to [
]
(the “Holder”), the principal sum of
DOLLARS (CAD $ )
(the “Principal”) in lawful money of Canada, with interest payable thereon at the rate of nine
percent (9%) per annum. The principal amount hereof and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon
shall be paid in full to the Holder on the four (4) year anniversary of the date of First Closing
(the “Maturity Date”).
Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to it in
that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated of even date
herewith (the “SPA”), pursuant to
which the Holder is acquiring this Note.
The following is a statement of the rights of the Holder of this Note and the terms and
conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which the Holder, by acceptance of this Note,
agrees:
1. Series. This Note is one of a series of Notes of the Company in the aggregate principal
amount of up to a maximum of Twelve Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Canadian Dollars
(CAD$12,750,000.00) (collectively, the “Notes”) as described in the Memorandum.
2. Principal Repayment. The outstanding principal amount of this Note shall be payable on
the Maturity Date, unless this Note has been earlier converted as described below.
3. Interest. Interest (the “Interest”) shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of this
Note from the date hereof in full at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum, payable semi-annually
in arrears on the fifteenth (15th) day of each January and July commencing July
15, 2010. For purposes of clarity, the initial interest payment shall consist of accrued interest
from the date of issuance of the Note through July 15, 2010 and will cease accruing Interest on the
earliest of (i) the Maturity Date; (ii) if such Note is converted in accordance with Section 5, the
Conversion Date; and (iii) if such Note is redeemed in accordance with Section 9, the date
specified in the notice of redemption. Thereafter, interest payments of accrued interest shall be
due and payable on the fifteenth (15th) day of each January and July until the Maturity
Date, subject to earlier conversion or redemption of the Note. All computations of the interest
rate hereunder shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the event
that any interest rate provided for herein shall be determined to be unlawful, such interest rate
shall be computed at the highest rate permitted by applicable law. Any payment by the Company of
any interest amount in excess of that permitted by law shall be considered a mistake, with the
excess being applied to the principal of this Note without prepayment premium or penalty.
4. Ranking. The Company’s obligations under this Note are general unsecured obligations,
ranking equally with all of the Company’s existing and future unsecured
indebtedness and ranking subordinate to any secured indebtedness.
5. | Conversion. |
(a) Generally. Each holder of the Notes shall have the right, exercisable at any time prior
to the earlier of the Maturity Date or the date of redemption, to convert all, or any portion, of
the principal amount then outstanding into shares of the Company’s common stock with no par value
(the “Common Stock) at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) equal to CAD $0.42 per share
(the Common Stock underlying the Notes being referred to herein as the
2
“Shares”). Upon conversion the Company shall pay to the Holder all accrued but unpaid interest
through, but excluding, the date of conversion (the “Conversion Date”).
(b) Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of this Note shall be conducted in the following
manner: upon any conversion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, plus all accrued but
unpaid interest thereon: (i) the Holder shall deliver a completed and executed Notice of Conversion
attached hereto as Exhibit A and surrender and deliver this Note, duly endorsed, to the Company’s
office or such other address which the Company shall designate against delivery of the certificates
representing the Shares to be delivered; (ii) in exchange for the surrendered Note, the Company
shall prepare and deliver irrevocable instructions addressed to the Company’s transfer agent, to
issue such required number of Shares as set forth in the Conversion Notice which Shares shall be
delivered to the Holder within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of the documentation to the
Company; and (iii) upon issuance of the Shares, the principal amount of this Note together with all
accrued but unpaid interest shall become fully paid and satisfied. The Company shall, upon the
written request of the Holder, use its best efforts to deliver, or cause to be delivered, the
Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation or
another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available;
provided, that, the Company may, but will not be required to, change its transfer agent if its
current transfer agent cannot deliver the Shares electronically through the Depository Trust and
Clearing Corporation.
(c) Adjustments to Conversion Price.
(i) Adjustments for Stock Splits and Consolidations and Stock Dividends. If the Company shall
at any time or from time to time after the date hereof and prior to the earlier of the Maturity
Date or the date of redemption, effect a stock split or consolidation of the outstanding Common
Stock or pay a stock dividend in shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such stock split or consolidation shall be proportionately adjusted. Any
adjustments under this Section 5(c)(i) shall be effective at the close of business on the date the
stock split or consolidation becomes effective or the date of payment of the stock dividend, as
applicable.
(ii) Merger Sale, Reclassification, etc. In case of any (A) combination or merger (including
a merger in which the Company is the surviving entity), (B) sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets or distribution of property to shareholders (other than
distributions payable out of earnings or retained earnings), or reclassification, change or
conversion of the outstanding securities of the Company or of any reorganization of the Company
(or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time receivable upon the
conversion of this Note) or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the date hereof (each
such transaction being a “Fundamental Transaction”) and prior to the earlier of the Maturity Date
or the date of redemption, then and in each such case the Holder of this Note, upon the conversion
hereof at any time thereafter shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other
securities and property receivable upon the conversion hereof prior to such Fundamental
Transaction, the stock or other securities or property to which such Holder would have been
entitled upon such consummation if such Holder had converted this Note immediately prior thereto.
3
(iii) Adjustments for Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.
(A) In the event the Company, shall, at any time prior to the
eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date, issue or sell any additional shares of Common
Stock (other than pursuant to Common Stock Equivalents (hereafter defined) granted or issued prior
to the issuance date of this Note) (“Additional Shares of Common Stock”), at a price per share less
than $0.30, then the Conversion Price upon each such issuance shall be adjusted to that price
(rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a
fraction:
(1) the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Shares of
Common Stock plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole
share) which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such Additional Shares of
Common Stock so issued would purchase at a price per share of $0.30 per Share
(2) the denominator of which shall be equal to the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of such
Additional Shares of Common Stock.
B) The provisions of paragraph (A) of Section 5(iii) shall not
apply to any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock for which an adjustment is provided
elsewhere in this Section 5). No adjustment of the number of Shares for which this Note shall be
convertible shall be made under this clause (iii) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of
Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents, if any such
adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents
pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 5.
(C) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. The provisions of this Section 5(iii) shall
apply if (a) the Company, at any time after the issuance date of this Note, shall issue any
securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Common Stock (“Convertible
Securities”), other than the Convertible Notes, or (b) any rights or warrants or options to
purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities (collectively, the “Common Stock
Equivalents”) shall be issued or sold. If the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common
Stock may be issuable pursuant to any such Common Stock Equivalent shall be less than the
applicable Conversion Price then in effect, or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock
Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable
thereafter is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended shall be less than the applicable
Conversion Price in effect at the time of such amendment or adjustment, then the applicable
Conversion Price upon each such issuance or amendment shall be adjusted as provided in the first
sentence of subsection (iii)(A) of this Section 5. No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion
Price upon the issuance of Common
4
Stock pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security or Common
Stock Equivalent where an adjustment to the Conversion Price was made as a result of the
issuance or purchase of any Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent.
(D) Certain Issues Excepted. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Price under this
Section 5 in connection with securities of the Company issued: (i) in connection with a
merger, acquisition or consolidation, (ii) in connection with bona fide joint venture,
strategic license or similar business partnering arrangements (provided that the transaction
or arrangement is not primarily for the purpose of raising capital from Person whose primary
business is investing in securities), (iii) upon exercise of the Warrants issued together
with the Notes; (iv) upon exercise any warrants issued to the placement agent and its
designees for the transactions contemplated hereby; (v) upon the exercise, exchange or
conversion of any securities outstanding on the date hereof that are exercisable or
exchangeable for, or convertible into, Common Stock of the Company; and (vi) in connection
with any share split, share dividend, recapitalization or similar transaction by the Company
for which adjustment is made pursuant to this Section 5.
(d) Elimination of Fractional Interests. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued
upon conversion of this Note, nor shall the Company be required to pay cash in lieu of fractional
interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated and
that all issuances of Common Stock shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
(e) Legending. All certificates issued in exchange for or in substitution of this Note and
all certificates issued upon the conversion of this Note evidencing the Shares (and any
certificates issued in exchange or in substitution thereof) shall bear the legends substantially
in the following forms, unless such exchange, substitution or issuance occurs subsequent to July •,
2010:
“UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THE SECURITY
MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE JULY •, 2010.”
“THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY
THIS CERTIFICATE ARE LISTED ON THE TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE (THE “TSX”);
HOWEVER, THE SAID SECURITIES CANNOT BE TRADED THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF THE
TSX SINCE THEY ARE NOT FREELY TRANSFERABLE, AND CONSEQUENTLY ANY CERTIFICATE
REPRESENTING SUCH SECURITIES IS NOT “GOOD DELIVERY” IN SETTLEMENT OF
TRANSACTIONS ON THE TSX.”
NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF
THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN
5
REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES
COMMISSION OF ANY STATE AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT
PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE
EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR
TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE
COMPANY. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN
CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR REFINANCING
ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.
provided that, if at any time, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, such legends are no
longer necessary or advisable under any such securities laws, or the holder of any such legended
certificate, at the holder’s expense, provides the Company with evidence satisfactory in form and
substance to the Company (which may include an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company) to
the effect that such legends are not required, such legended certificate may thereafter be
surrendered to the Company in exchange for a certificate which does not bear such legend.
6. Events of Default. In the event that any of the following (each, an “Event of
Default”) shall occur:
(a) Non-Payment. The Company shall default in the payment of the principal of, or accrued
interest on, this Note as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether by acceleration
or otherwise; or
(b) Default in Covenants. The Company shall default in any material manner in the observance
or performance of the affirmative or negative covenants or agreements on its part to be observed or
performed set forth in the SPA, this Note or any other Transaction Document; or
(c) Breach of Representations and Warranties. The Company materially breaches any
representation or warranty contained in the Transaction Documents; or
(d) Exchange Act or Exchange Requirements. Any termination of registration or suspension of
the Company’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act or suspension from trading on the TSX
(it being agreed that the delisting of the Common Stock from any national exchange in the United
States shall not be an Event of Default if the Common Stock is,
6
within ten (10) Business Days of the effective date of such delisting, quoted on the OTCBB or the
OTC QX)), or the Company’s failure to file reports with the SEC on a timely basis as required by
the Exchange Act; or
(e) Judgments. Any final, non-appealable judgment, decree or order for the payment of money
is entered against any of the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries in an amount equal to CAD
$1,000,000 or more by a court having jurisdiction and the same remains unsatisfied or unbonded for
more than twenty (20) days; or
(f) Illegality of Notes. Any court of competent jurisdiction issues an order declaring the
Notes or any provision thereunder to be illegal; or
(g) Cross Default. There occurs with respect to any agreement, indenture or instrument under
which the Company has Indebtedness (as defined herein) ranking senior to the Notes of CAD
$1,000,000 or more in the aggregate: (i) a default with respect to any payment obligation
thereunder that then entitles the holder thereof to declare such Indebtedness to be due and payable
prior to its stated maturity, or (ii) any other default thereunder that entitles, and has caused,
the holder thereof to declare such indebtedness to be due and payable prior to its stated maturity;
and in both cases such default continues after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in
the agreement, indenture or instrument relating to such Indebtedness; or
(h) Bankruptcy. The Company shall: (i) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as
they become due; (ii) apply for, consent to, or acquiesce in, the appointment of a trustee,
receiver, sequestrator or other custodian for the Company or any of its property, or make a
general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (iii) in the absence of such application, consent
or acquiesce in, permit or suffer to exist the appointment of a trustee, receiver, sequestrator or
other custodian for the Company or for any part of its property; or (iv) permit or suffer to exist
the commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement or other case or proceeding
under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or any dissolution, winding up or liquidation proceeding,
in respect of the Company, and, if such case or proceeding is not commenced by the Company or
converted to a voluntary case, such case or proceeding shall be consented to or acquiesced in by
the Company or shall result in the entry of an order for relief;
then, and so long as such Event of Default is continuing for a period of two (2) Business Days in
the case of non-payment under Section 6(a), a period of five (5) Business Days in the case of a
cross-default under 6(g), or for a period of thirty (30) calendar days in the case of events under
Sections 6(b), 6(c), 6(d), 6(e) and 6(f) (and the event which would constitute such Event of
Default, if curable, has not been cured), after written notice of such Event of Default is received
by the Company from the Investor Representative, all obligations of the Company under this Note
shall be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or any other action nor
obligation of the Holder of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and Holder may
exercise any other remedies the Holder may have at law or in equity. If an Event of Default
specified in Section 6(h) above occurs, the principal of, and accrued interest on, all the Notes
shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of any Holder, become

for value received, the Initial Holder shown above, or its permitted registered assigns (the
“Holder”), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to the number of shares of its common stock
with no par value, (the “Common Stock”), shown above
(each such share, a “Warrant Share” and all
such shares, the “Warrant Shares”) at the exercise price shown
1
above (as may be adjusted from time to time as provided herein, the “Exercise Price”), at any
time and from time to time commencing on the original issue date indicated above (the “Original
Issue Date”) and continuing through and including the expiration time shown above (the “Expiration
Time”), and subject to the following terms and conditions:
This Warrant is being issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated , 2010 (the
“SPA”), by and between the Company, the Initial Holder and the other parties thereto.
1. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant,
capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in
the SPA.
2. List of Warrant Holders. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to
be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record
Holder (which shall include the Initial Holder or, as the case may be, any registered assignee to
which this Warrant is permissibly assigned hereunder from time to time). The Company may deem and
treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any
exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice
to the contrary.
3. List of Transfers; Restrictions on Transfer. The Company shall register any
transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this
Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at
its address specified herein or such address as my be notified in writing by the Company. Upon any
such registration or transfer, a new Warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of
this Warrant (any such new Warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so
transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of
this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The
acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such
transferee of all of the rights and obligations in respect of the New Warrant that the Holder has
in respect of this Warrant.
4. Exercise and Duration of Warrant.
(a) All or any part of this Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder in any
manner permitted by Section 4 of this Warrant at any time and from time to time on or after the
Original Issue Date and through and including the Expiration Time. Subject to Section 11 hereof, at
the Expiration Time, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become
void and of no value and this Warrant shall be terminated and shall no longer be outstanding.
(b) The Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company:
(i) an exercise notice, in the form attached hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), completed and duly
signed, and (ii) if such Holder is not utilizing the cashless exercise provisions set forth in this
Warrant, payment by certified cheque, bank draft, money order or
2
wire transfer of immediately available Canadian funds to an account designated by the Company of
the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised.
The date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice
provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date” and, to the extent permitted by law, such exercise shall
be deemed to have been effective as at the close of business on the Exercise Date, and at such time
the rights of the Holder with respect to the number of Warrants which have been exercised as such
shall cease, and the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for
Warrant Shares shall then be issuable upon such exercise shall be deemed to have become the holder
or holders of record of the Warrant Shares represented thereby. The Holder shall be required to
deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of
the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance
of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
(c) The Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in
lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise
in payment of the Exercise Price pursuant to subsection 4(b) above, elect instead to receive upon
such exercise the “Net Number” of Warrant Shares determined according to the following formula (a
“Cashless Exercise”):
Net Number = | (A x B) - (A x C) | |||||
B |
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
A= | the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised. | ||
B= | the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg) on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice. | ||
C= | the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise. |
For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Securities Act, as in effect on the date
hereof, assuming the Holder is not an affiliate of the Company, it is intended that the Warrant
Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the
holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the Original Issue
Date.
(d) The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents
the timely exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof.
5. Delivery of Warrant Shares.
(a) Upon a Cashless Exercise of this Warrant, in which the holding period
3
of the Warrants Shares has satisfied the requirements of Rule 144(d), the Company shall promptly
(but in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after the Exercise Date) issue or cause to be
issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or
names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such
exercise, free of United States restrictive legends. “Trading Day” shall mean a date on which the
Company’s Common Stock trades on its principal trading market. The Holder shall be deemed to have
become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. The Company shall, upon
the written request of the Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver, or cause to
be delivered, Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust and Clearing
Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available;
provided, that, the Company may, but will not be required to, change its transfer agent if its
current transfer agent cannot deliver Warrant Shares electronically through the Depository Trust
and Clearing Corporation. In the event the Warrants are exercised in accordance with Section 4(b)
and are not a Cashless Exercise, the share certificate to be issued shall bear the restrictive
legend set forth on the front page of this Common Stock Purchase Warrant. In addition, if as of the
time of exercise the Warrant Shares constitute restricted or control securities, the Holder, by
exercising, agrees not to resell them except in compliance with all applicable securities laws.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant
Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any
action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any
provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the
same, or any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged
breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or
alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other
circumstance that might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection
with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any
other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a
decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to
timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as
required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(c) If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate
or the certificates (either physical or electronic) representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to the
terms hereof by applicable delivery date, then, the Holder will have the right to rescind such
exercise.
6. Charges and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates for Warrant
Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or
transfer agent fee or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which
expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
to pay any expenses that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of
any certificates for Warrant Shares or the Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The
Holder shall be responsible for all tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or
transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
4
7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction
and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such
circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay
such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested
as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant
to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.
8. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times
reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise
unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares that are then issuable
and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other
contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments
and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and
deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance
with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and non-assessable.
9. Certain Adjustments to Exercise Price. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set
forth in this Section 9.
(a) Adjustments for Stock Splits and Consolidation and Stock Dividends. If the
Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiration
Time, effect a stock split or consolidation of the outstanding Common Stock or pay a stock dividend
in shares of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such stock split
or consolidation shall be proportionately adjusted. Any adjustments under this Section 9(a) shall
be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination becomes effective
or the date of payment of the stock dividend, as applicable. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise
Price as provided in this Section 9(a), the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to acquire, at the
Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares (calculated to the
nearest tenth of a Warrant Share) obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares which may be acquired hereunder
immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price
resulting from such adjustment.
(b) Merger Sale, Reclassification, etc. In case of any: (i) combination, merger
(including a merger in which the Company is the surviving entity), (ii) sale or other disposition
of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or distribution of property to shareholders
(other than distributions payable out of earnings or retained earnings), or reclassification,
change or conversion of the outstanding securities of the Company or of any reorganization of the
5
Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time receivable upon
the exercise of this Warrant) or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the date hereof
and prior to the Expiration Time, then and in each such case the Holder of this Warrant, upon the
exercise hereof at any time thereafter shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other
securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such combination, merger, sale
or other disposition, reclassification, change, conversion or reorganization, the stock or other
securities or property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such
Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto.
(c) No Adjustment. No adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number of
Warrant Shares shall be required unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% in
the Exercise Price then in effect or unless the number of Shares to be issued would change by at
least 1/100th of a Share, provided, however, that any adjustments, which, except for the provisions
of this Section (c) would otherwise have been required to be made, shall be carried forward and
taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
10. No Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in
connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares that would otherwise
be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the
closing price of one Warrant Share as reported by the applicable Trading Market on the Exercise
Date.
11. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder
(including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be delivered in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 9.2 of the SPA.
12. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon
thirty (30) days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any
corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation
resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or
any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its
corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this
Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of
its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder
at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.
13. Legending. All certificates issued in exchange for or in substitution of this
Warrant and all certificates issued upon the exercise of this Warrant evidencing the Warrant
Shares (and any certificates issued in exchange or in substitution thereof) shall bear legends
substantially in the following form:
“CANADIAN LEGENDS:

necessary or advisable under any such securities laws, or the holder of any such legended

continuing through and including the expiration time shown above (the “Expiration Time”), and
subject to the following terms and conditions:
This Warrant is being issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated March ___, 2010
(the “SPA”), by and between the Company, the Initial Holder and the other parties thereto.
1. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant,
capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in
the SPA.
2. List of Warrant Holders. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to
be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record
Holder (which shall include the Initial Holder or, as the case may be, any registered assignee to
which this Warrant is permissibly assigned hereunder from time to time). The Company may deem and
treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any
exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice
to the contrary.
3. List of Transfers; Restrictions on Transfer. The Company shall register any

such registration or transfer, a new Warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of
this Warrant (any such new Warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so
transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of
this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The
acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such
transferee of all of the rights and obligations in respect of the New Warrant that the Holder has
in respect of this Warrant.
4. | Exercise and Duration of Warrant. |
(a) All or any part of this Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder
in any manner permitted by Section 4 of this Warrant at any time and from time to
time on or after the Vesting Date (as defined below) and through and including the
Expiration Time. Subject to Section 11 hereof, at the Expiration Time, the portion
of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no
value and this Warrant shall be terminated and shall no longer be outstanding. For
purposes of this Warrant, the Vesting Date shall be the date that the Company
consummates a redemption of the Notes in accordance with Section [*] of the Notes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Warrant, this Warrant
may not be exercised by the Holder unless the Company shall have first obtained
shareholder
approval of the exercise of this Warrant and the issuance of the Warrant Shares if such approval
is required by applicable law or applicable stock exchange rule.
(b) The Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, following the Vesting Date, by
delivering to the Company: (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached hereto (the “Exercise
Notice”), completed and duly signed, and (ii) if such Holder is not utilizing the cashless exercise
provisions set forth in this Warrant, payment by certified cheque, bank draft, money order or wire
transfer of immediately available Canadian funds to an account designated by the Company of the
Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised. The
date following the Vesting Date that such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in
accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date” and, to the extent permitted by
law, such exercise shall be deemed to have been effective as at the close of business on the
Exercise Date, and at such time the rights of the Holder with respect to the number of Warrants
which have been exercised as such shall cease, and the person or persons in whose name or names any
certificate or certificates for Warrant Shares shall then be issuable upon such exercise shall be
deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Shares represented thereby.
The Holder shall be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise
hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation
of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the
remaining number of Warrant Shares.
(c) The Holder may, in its sole discretion, at any time after the Vesting Date, exercise this
Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be
made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Exercise Price pursuant to subsection 4(b)
above, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of Warrant Shares determined
according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):
Net Number =
|
(A x B) - (A x C) | |||
B |
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
A= | the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised. | ||
B= | the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg) on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice. | ||
C= | the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise. |
For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Securities Act, as in effect on the date
hereof, assuming the Holder is not an affiliate of the Company, it is intended that the Warrant
Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the
holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on
the Original Issue Date.
(d) The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any
manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof.
5. Delivery of Warrant Shares.
(a) Upon a Cashless Exercise of this Warrant, in which the holding period of the Warrants
Shares has satisfied the requirements of Rule 144(d), the Company shall promptly (but in no event
later than three (3) Trading Days after the Exercise Date) issue or cause to be issued and cause to
be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may
designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of United States
restrictive legends. “Trading Day” shall mean a date on which the Company’s Common Stock trades on
its principal trading market. The Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of
such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. The Company shall, upon the written request of the
Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver, or cause to be delivered, Warrant
Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation or
another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available; provided,
that, the Company may, but will not be required to, change its transfer agent if its current
transfer agent cannot deliver Warrant Shares electronically through the Depository Trust and
Clearing Corporation. In the event the Warrants are exercised in accordance with Section 4(b) and
are not a Cashless Exercise, the share certificate to be issued shall bear the restrictive legend
set forth on the front page of this Vesting Common Stock Purchase Warrant. In addition, if as of
the time of exercise the Warrant Shares constitute restricted or control securities, the Holder, by
exercising, agrees not to resell them except in compliance with all applicable securities laws.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant
Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any
action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any
provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the
same, or any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged
breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or
alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other
circumstance that might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection
with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any
other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a
decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to
timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as
required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(c) If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate
or the certificates (either physical or electronic) representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to the
terms hereof by applicable delivery date, then, the Holder will have the right to rescind such
exercise.
6. Charges and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates for Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer agent
fee or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which expenses shall be paid
by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any expenses that
may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for
Warrant Shares or the Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be
responsible for all tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this
Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction
and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such
circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay
such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested
as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant
to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.
8. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times
reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise
unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares that are then issuable
and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other
contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments
and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and
deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance
with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and non-assessable.
9. Certain Adjustments to Exercise Price. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set
forth in this Section 9.
(a) Adjustments for Stock Splits and Consolidation and Stock Dividends. If the Company
shall at any time or from time to time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiration Time,
effect a stock split or consolidation of the outstanding Common Stock or pay a stock dividend in
shares of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such stock split or
consolidation shall be proportionately adjusted. Any adjustments under this Section 9(a) shall be
effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination becomes effective or
the date of payment of the stock dividend, as applicable. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise
Price as provided in this Section 9(a), the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to acquire, at the
Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares (calculated to the
nearest tenth of a Warrant Share) obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares which
may be acquired hereunder immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by
the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
(b) Merger Sale, Reclassification, etc. In case of any: (i) combination, merger
(including a merger in which the Company is the surviving entity), (ii) sale or other disposition
of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or distribution of property to shareholders
(other than distributions payable out of earnings or retained earnings), or reclassification,
change or conversion of the outstanding securities of the Company or of any reorganization of the
Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time receivable upon
the exercise of this Warrant) or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the date hereof
and prior to the Expiration Time, then and in each such case the Holder of this Warrant, upon the
exercise hereof at any time thereafter shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other
securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such combination, merger, sale
or other disposition, reclassification, change, conversion or reorganization, the stock or other
securities or property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such
Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto.
(c) No Adjustment. No adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number of
Warrant Shares shall be required unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% in
the Exercise Price then in effect or unless the number of Shares to be issued would change by at
least 1/100th of a Share, provided, however, that any adjustments, which, except for the provisions
of this Section (c) would otherwise have been required to be made, shall be carried forward and
taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
10. No Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in
connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares that would otherwise
be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the
closing price of one Warrant Share as reported by the applicable Trading Market on the Exercise
Date.
11. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder
(including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be delivered in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 9.2 of the SPA.
12. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon
thirty (30) days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any
corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation
resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or
any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its
corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this
Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of
its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder
at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.
13. Legending. All certificates issued in exchange for or in substitution of this
Warrant and all certificates issued upon the exercise of this Warrant evidencing the Warrant
Shares (and any certificates issued in exchange or in substitution thereof) shall bear the legends
substantially in the following form unless such exchange, substitution or issuance occurs
subsequent to July l, 2010:
“CANADIAN LEGENDS:

NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND
IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A
LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE
OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. NOTWITHSTANDING
THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA
FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR REFINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY
THE SECURITIES.”
provided that, if at any time, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, such legends are no longer
necessary or advisable under any such securities laws, or the holder of any such legended
certificate, at the holder’s expense, provides the Company with evidence satisfactory in form and
substance to the Company (which may include an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company) to
the effect that such legends are not required, such legended certificate may thereafter be
surrendered to the Company in exchange for a certificate which does not bear such legend.

(a) | give the Escrowed Funds any greater degree of care than required under the applicable by-laws and rules of professional conduct established by the Law Society of British Columbia; | ||
(b) | invest all or any part of the Escrowed Funds except as directed in this Agreement; or | ||
(c) | enforce any obligation of any person, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. |
4.2 The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to the Company or the Placement Agent or
to anyone else including, but not limited to, the Investors, for any action taken or omitted
by it,
or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and acting upon any order,
notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the
Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report, or other paper or document (not only as to its
due
execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and
acceptability of any information therein contained), which is believed by the Escrow Agent to
be
genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Escrow Agent shall
not be bound by any of the terms thereof, unless evidenced by written notice delivered to the
Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow
Agent are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto. The Escrow Agent
will
be entitled to assume that all documents on which it must rely in order to carry out its
obligations
4
under this Agreement are valid and properly authorized. The Escrow Agent need not question the
authenticity of any such document or any signature thereon, nor inquire whether the person who
signed, issued or authenticated such document had authority to do so. The Escrow Agent may rely
upon any document that it believes in good faith to be genuine, sufficient and properly presented
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
4.3 The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the sufficiency or accuracy of the
form, or of the execution, validity, value or genuineness of, any document or property
received,
held or delivered to it hereunder, or of any signature or endorsement thereon, or for any lack
of
endorsement thereon, or for any description therein; nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible
or liable to the Company, the Placement Agent, or to anyone else including, but not limited
to,
the Investors, in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights, of the person
executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any document or property or this
Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the use or
application
of the Escrowed Funds pursuant to the provisions hereof.
4.4 The Escrow Agent shall have the right to assume, in the absence of written notice
to the contrary from the proper person or persons, that a fact or an event, by reason of which
an
action would or might be taken by the Escrow Agent, does not exist or has not occurred,
without
incurring liability to the Company, the Placement Agent, or to anyone else including, but not
limited to, the Investors, for any action taken or omitted to be taken or omitted, in good
faith and
in the exercise of its own best judgment, in reliance upon such assumption.
4.5 To the extent that the Escrow Agent becomes liable for the payment of taxes,
including withholding taxes, in respect of income derived from the investment of the Escrowed
Funds, or any payment made hereunder, the Escrow Agent may pay such taxes; and the Escrow
Agent may withhold from any payment of the Escrowed Funds to the Company or to the
Placement Agent on behalf of the Investors, as the case may be, or in accordance with the
release
of the Escrowed Funds contemplated in accordance with Section 3.3, as the case may be, to the
extent due to the Company in accordance with the instructions delivered as set forth in
Exhibit C
such amount as the Escrow Agent estimates to be sufficient to provide for the payment of such
taxes not yet paid, and may use the sum withheld for that purpose. The Escrow Agent shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Company against any liability for taxes and for any
penalties in respect of taxes, on such investment income or payments in the manner provided in
Section 4.6.
4.6 The Escrow Agent will be indemnified and held harmless by the Company and
the Placement Agent from and against all expenses, including all reasonable counsel fees and
disbursements, or loss suffered by the Escrow Agent in connection with any action, suit or
proceedings involving any claim, or in connection with any claim or demand, which in any way,
directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services of the Escrow
Agent
hereunder, except for claims relating to gross negligence or willful misconduct by Escrow
Agent
or breach of this Agreement by the Escrow Agent, or the monies or other property held by it
hereunder. Promptly after the receipt of the Escrow Agent of notice of any demand or claim or
the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Escrow Agent shall, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against an Escrowing Party, notify each of them thereof in
writing,
5
but the failure by the Escrow Agent to give such notice shall not relieve any such party from
any liability which an Escrowing Party may have to the Escrow Agent hereunder, unless the
Escrowing Party shall be materially prejudiced by such delay.
4.7 For purposes hereof, the term “expense or loss” shall include all amounts paid or payable
to satisfy any claim, demand or liability, or in settlement of any claim, demand, action, suit or
proceeding settled with the express written consent of the Escrow Agent, and all costs and
expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, paid or
incurred in investigating or defending against any such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding.
5. Termination of Agreement and Resignation of Escrow Agent.
5.1 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate with respect to the rights and
obligations of the Escrow Agent and the Escrowing Parties regarding the Escrowed Funds upon
disbursement of all of the Escrowed Funds in accordance with the terms hereof or resignation
of
the Escrow Agent as provided herein.
5.2 Resignation.
(a) General. The Escrow Agent may resign at any time and be discharged
from its duties as Escrow Agent hereunder by giving the Company and the Placement Agent at
least twenty (20) business days written notice thereof (the “Notice Period”).
(b) Regarding the Escrowed Funds. Prior to the Closing and with respect to
the Escrowed Funds, upon providing the written notice called for in Section 5.2(a) above, the
Escrow Agent shall have no further obligation hereunder except to hold as depositary the
Escrow
Funds that it receives until the end of the Notice Period. In such event, the Escrow Agent
shall
not take any action, other than receiving and depositing the Investors’ checks and wire
transfers
in accordance with this Agreement, until the Company and the Placement Agent have jointly
designated a banking corporation, trust company, attorney or other person as successor escrow
agent. As soon as practicable after its resignation, the Escrow Agent shall, if it receives
written
notice from the Company and the Placement Agent within the Notice Period, turn over to a
successor escrow agent appointed jointly by the Company and the Placement Agent all Escrowed
Funds (less such amount as the Escrow Agent is entitled to retain pursuant to Section 6) upon
presentation of the document appointing the new escrow agent and its acceptance thereof. If
no
new agent is so appointed within the Notice Period, the Escrow Agent shall return the Escrowed
Funds to the Placement Agent for delivery to the Investors from which they were received
without interest or deduction other than the deductions provided in Section 4.5.
6. Form of Payments by Escrow Agent. All amounts referred to herein are expressed in
Canadian Dollars and all payments by the Escrow Agent shall be made in such dollars.
7. Compensation. The Company will reimburse the Escrow Agent for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements or advances incurred or made by the Escrow Agent in performance of
6
its duties under this Agreement and any such payment or reimbursement to which the Escrow Agent is
entitled will be borne by the Company.
8. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications provided herein shall
be in writing, shall be delivered by hand or by first-class mail, shall be deemed given when
received and shall be addressed to parties hereto at their respective addresses first set forth on
Exhibit A hereto.
9. Further Assurances. From time to time on and after the date hereof, the Company and the
Placement Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent such further
documents and instruments and shall do and cause to be done such further acts as the Escrow
Agent shall reasonably request (it being understood that the Escrow Agent shall have no
obligation to make any such request) to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of
this Agreement, to evidence compliance herewith or to assure itself that it is protected in acting
hereunder.
11. Miscellaneous-
11.1 This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other
rule requiring construction against the party causing such instrument to be drafted. The
terms
“hereby,” “hereof,” “hereunder,” and any similar terms, as used in this Agreement, refer to
the
Agreement in its entirety and not only to the particular portion of this Agreement where the
term
is used. The word “person” shall mean any natural person, partnership, corporation, government
and any other form of business of legal entity. All words or terms used in this Agreement,
regardless of the number or gender in which they were used, shall be deemed to include any
other number and any other gender as the context may require. This Agreement shall not be
admissible in evidence to construe the provisions of any prior agreement.
11.2 This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder of the parties to this
Agreement may not be assigned. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of each party’s respective successors, heirs and permitted assigns. No other person shall
acquire
or have any rights under or by virtue of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be changed
orally or modified, amended or supplemented without an express written agreement executed by
the Escrow Agent and the Escrowing Parties. This Agreement is intended to be for the sole
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs and permitted assigns,
and
none of the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be, nor shall they be construed to
be, for
the benefit of any third person.
11.3 This Agreement is governed by, and is to be construed, interpreted and enforced
in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the laws of Canada
applicable in that Province. All disputes arising under this Agreement shall be referred to
the
Courts of the Province of British Columbia.
11.4 This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Escrowing Parties and the
Escrow Agent pertaining to the administration and disposition of the Escrow Funds by the
Escrow Agent,
and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether
oral or
7
written, of the Escrowing Parties and the Escrow Agent. There are no representations, warranties,
or conditions (including any that may be implied by statute) and there are no other agreements
between the Escrowing Parties and the Escrow Agent in connection with the administration and
disposition of the Escrow Funds except as specifically set out in this Agreement. None of the
Escrowing Parties nor the Escrow Agent has been induced to enter into this Agreement in reliance
on, and there will be no liability assessed, either in tort or in contract, with respect to, any
warranty, representation, opinion, advice or assertion of fact, except to the extent it has been
reduced to writing and included as a term of this Agreement.
11.5 Each provision of this Agreement is distinct and severable. If any provision of this
Agreement, in whole or’ in part, is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, the
illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of that provision will not affect:
(a) the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement;
or
(b) the legality, validity or enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction.
11.6 Section 4 and any other provisions that would reasonably be expected to remain in force
will survive the termination of the escrow created under this Agreement. The termination of
the escrow
created under this Agreement will not affect the rights of any party or the Escrow Agent to
make a claim
for damages arising from a breach of any provision of this Agreement which occurred prior to
that termination.
12. Execution of Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in a number of counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original as of those whose signature appears thereon, and
all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become
binding when one or more of the counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, are signed by
all the parties. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or other
electronic transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party
executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such
facsimile or other electronic signature page were an original thereof.
