14. Contribution

(a) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity provided in Section 33 hereof would otherwise be available in accordance with its terms but is, for any reason held to be illegal, unavailable to or unenforceable by the Indemnified Parties or enforceable otherwise than in accordance with its terms, the Company and the Underwriters shall contribute to the aggregate of all Losses of the nature contemplated in Section 33 hereof and suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Parties (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other hand, from the distribution of the Offered Shares, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by Applicable Law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in respect of such Losses; provided that the Company shall in any event contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Parties as a result of such Claim any excess of such amount over the amount actually received by the Underwriters or any other Indemnified Party under this Agreement and further provided that the Underwriters shall not in any event be liable to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of such total Underwriters’ Fees or any portion thereof actually received by the Underwriters. However, no party who has engaged in any fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or wilful misconduct shall be entitled to claim contribution from any person who has not engaged in such fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or wilful misconduct.

(b) The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same ratio as the total proceeds from the Offering of the Offered Shares (net of the Underwriters’ Fees payable to the Underwriters but before deducting expenses) received by the Company is to the Underwriters’ Fees actually received by the Underwriters. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the matters or things referred to in Section 33 which resulted in such Claims and/or Losses relate to information supplied by or steps or actions taken or done or not taken or not done by or on behalf of the Company or to information supplied by or steps or actions taken or done or not taken or not done by or on behalf of the Underwriters and the relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, omission or misrepresentation, or other matter or thing referred to in Section 33. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Claims and/or Losses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claims and/or Losses, whether or not resulting in an action, suit, proceeding or claim. The parties to this Agreement agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 34 were determined by any method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 34.

- 37 -

(c) If the Company may be held to be entitled to contribution from the Underwriters under the provisions of any statute or at law, the Company shall be limited to contribution in an aggregate amount not exceeding the lesser of:

(i) the portion of the full amount of the Losses giving rise to such contribution for which the Underwriters are responsible, as determined in Section 33(a); and

(ii) the amount of the aggregate Underwriters’ Fees actually received by the Underwriters from the Company under this Agreement.

(d) The rights to contribution provided in this Section 34 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other right to contribution which the Indemnified Parties may have by statute or otherwise at law.

(e) If an Indemnified Party has reason to believe that a claim for contribution may arise, the Indemnified Party shall give the Company notice thereof in writing, but failure to so notify shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to the Indemnified Party under this Section 34 provided that the Company is not materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure, and the right of the Company to assume the defence of such Indemnified Party shall apply as set out in Section 33 hereof, mutatis mutandis.

15. Fees and Expenses

Whether or not the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares shall be completed, all fees and expenses (including GST or HST, if applicable) of or incidental to the creation, issuance and delivery of the Offered Shares and of or incidental to all matters in connection with the transactions herein set out shall be borne by the Company including, without limitation:

(a) all expenses of or incidental to the creation, issue, sale or distribution of the Offered Shares and the filing of the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus and any Supplementary Material;

(b) the fees and expenses of the auditors, counsel to the Company and all local counsel (including GST or HST, if and as applicable, on all of the foregoing);

(c) all costs incurred in connection with the preparation and printing of the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus and any Supplementary Material contemplated hereunder and otherwise relating to the Offering; and

(d) the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and fees of the Underwriters, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Underwriters’ counsel (subject to the maximum out-of-pocket expenses and fees, legal fees and disbursements of Underwriters’ counsel set forth in paragraph 20 of the Bid Letter, plus applicable taxes thereon), with such expenses to be paid by the Company at the Closing Time or at any other time requested by the Underwriters, provided that all fees and expenses incurred by the Underwriters, or on its behalf, pursuant to the Offering shall be payable by the Company immediately upon receiving an invoice therefor from the Underwriters whether or not the Offering is completed unless the Offering is not completed due to the fault of the Underwriters. For greater certainty, any termination of this Agreement by the Underwriters pursuant to Section 36 or 37 shall not be considered to be the non-completion of the Offering due to the fault of the Underwriters.

- 38 -

16. All Terms to be Conditions

The Company agrees that the conditions contained in Section 30 will be complied with insofar as the same relate to acts to be performed or caused to be performed by the Company and that it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such conditions to be complied with. Any breach or failure to comply with or satisfy any of the conditions set out in Section 30 shall entitle the Underwriters to terminate their obligation to purchase the Offered Shares, by written notice to that effect given to the Company at or prior to the Closing Time. It is understood that the Underwriters may waive, in whole or in part, or extend the time for compliance until no later than 42 days from the date of the Final Receipt with, any of such terms and conditions without prejudice to the rights of the Underwriters in respect of any such terms and conditions or any other or subsequent breach or non-compliance, provided that to be binding on the Underwriters any such waiver or extension must be in writing.

17. Termination by Underwriters in Certain Events

(a) Each Underwriter shall also be entitled to terminate its obligation to purchase the Offered Shares by written notice to that effect given to the Company at or prior to the Closing Time if:

(i) there shall be any material change in the affairs of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, or there should be discovered any previously undisclosed material fact or information or circumstance or there should occur a change in any material fact relating to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, including from that information disseminated by the Company through its periodic and timely disclosure documents publicly filed on the SEDAR, which in any case, in the reasonable opinion of the Underwriters (or any of them), has or would be expected to have a material adverse effect on the market price or value of the Common Shares or any other securities of the Company;

(ii) (A) any inquiry, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding (whether formal or informal) is commenced, announced or threatened or any order made by any federal, provincial, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality including, without limitation, the TSX or any securities regulatory authority (except for any inquiry, action, suit, proceeding, investigation or order based upon activities of the Underwriters and not upon activities of the Company) or any law or regulation is enacted or changed which in the opinion of any Underwriter, acting reasonably, could operate to prevent or materially restrict the trading of the Common Shares or any other securities of the Company or materially and adversely affects or might be expected to materially and adversely affect the market price or value of the Common Shares or any other securities of the Company or that could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or (B) if there should develop, occur or come into effect or existence any event, action, state, condition or major financial occurrence of national or international consequence or any law or regulation which in the opinion of the Underwriters, acting reasonably, seriously adversely affects, or involves, or will seriously adversely affect, or involve, the financial markets or the business, operations or affairs of the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole;

- 39 -

(iii) the Company is in breach of or any term, condition or covenant contained in this Agreement, or any condition herein is not satisfied at Closing or becomes incapable of being satisfied, or any representation or warranty given by the Company in this Agreement becomes or is false or is breached;

(iv) any order to cease or suspend trading in any securities of the Company or prohibiting or restricting the distribution of any securities of the Company, including the Offered Shares, is made, or proceedings are announced, commenced or threatened for the making of any such order, by any Securities Commission, the TSX or any other competent authority, and has not been rescinded, revoked or withdrawn; or

(v) any Underwriter and the Company agree in writing to terminate this Agreement in relation to such Underwriter.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated by any of the Underwriters pursuant to Section 37(a), there shall be no further liability on the part of such Underwriter, or on the part of the Company to such Underwriter except in respect of any liability which may have arisen or may thereafter arise under Sections 33, 34 and 35.

(c) The right of the Underwriters or any of them to terminate their respective obligations under this Agreement is in addition to such other remedies as they may have in respect of any default, act or failure to act of the Company in respect of any of the matters contemplated by this Agreement. A notice of termination given by one Underwriter under this Section 37 shall not be binding upon the other Underwriter.

18. Obligations of the Underwriters

The obligations of the Underwriters under this Agreement shall be several in all respects and not joint or joint and several. For greater certainty, the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Offered Shares shall be several and not joint or joint and several, and shall be limited to the percentages of the aggregate number of Offered Shares to be purchased set out opposite the names of the Underwriters respectively below:

Beacon Securities Limited		-			85	%
Echelon Wealth Partners Inc.		-			15	%

If an Underwriter does not complete the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares which that Underwriter has agreed to purchase under this Agreement (other than in accordance with Section 37 of this Agreement) (the “Defaulted Shares”), Beacon may delay the Closing Date for not more than three days without the prior written consent of the Company, and the remaining Underwriter (the “Continuing Underwriter”) will be entitled, at its option, to purchase all but not less than all of the Defaulted Shares. If the Continuing Underwriter does not elect to purchase the Defaulted Shares:

(a) the Continuing Underwriter will not be obliged to purchase any of the Offered Shares;

- 40 -

(b) the Company will not be obliged to sell less than all of the Offered Shares; and

(c) the Company will be entitled to terminate its obligations under this Agreement, in which event there will be no further liability on the part of the Continuing Underwriter, or on the part of the Company except pursuant to the provisions of Sections 33, 34 and 35 of this Agreement.

20. Miscellaneous

(a) Except with respect to Sections 33, 34, 37 and 38, all transactions and notices on behalf of the Underwriters hereunder or contemplated hereby may be carried out or given on behalf of the Underwriters by Beacon and Beacon shall in good faith discuss with the other Underwriter the nature of any such transactions and notices prior to giving effect thereto or the delivery thereof, as the case may be.

(b) This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the Underwriters and the Company and their respective successors and legal representatives, provided that no party may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other party.

(c) This Agreement, including all schedules to this Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties relating to its subject matter and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the parties with respect to such subject matter. This Agreement may only be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified by written agreement signed by all of the parties.

(d) The Company acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other; (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company; (iii) no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favour of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is concurrently advising the Company on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; and (iv) the Company has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. The Company agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriters, or any of them, has rendered advisory

- 42 -

services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

(e) The Company acknowledges that each of the Underwriters is a securities firm that is engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities, as well as providing investment banking and financial advisory services, which may involve services provided to other companies engaged in businesses similar or competitive to the business of the Company and that the Underwriters shall have no obligation to disclose such activities and services to the Company. The Company acknowledges and agrees that in connection with all aspects of the engagement contemplated hereby, and any communications in connection therewith, the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters and any of their respective affiliates through which they may be acting, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Underwriters or such affiliates, and each party hereto agrees that no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. The Company acknowledges and agrees that it waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims the Company and its affiliates may have against any of the Underwriters for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that the Underwriters shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company or any of its affiliates in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company, including shareholders, employees or creditors of the Company. Information which is held elsewhere within any of the Underwriters, but of which none of the individuals in the investment banking department or division of any of the Underwriters involved in providing the services contemplated by this Agreement actually has knowledge (or without breach of internal procedures can properly obtain) will not for any purpose be taken into account in determining any of the responsibilities of the Underwriters to the Company under this Agreement.

(f) The Company acknowledges that Beacon is a full service securities firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and financial advisory services and that in the ordinary course of its trading and brokerage activities, Beacon and/or any of its affiliates at any time may hold long or short positions, and may trade or otherwise effect transactions, for its own account or the accounts of customers, in debt or equity securities of the Company or any other company that may be involved in a transaction or related derivative securities.

(g) Neither the Company nor any of Underwriters shall make any public announcement in connection with the Offering, except if the other party has consented to such announcement or the announcement is required by applicable laws or stock exchange rules. In such event, the party proposing to make the announcement will provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity, in the circumstances, to review a draft of the proposed announcement and to provide comments thereon.

(h) No waiver of any provision of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other provision (whether or not similar). No waiver will be binding unless executed in writing by the party to be bound by the waiver. A party’s failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right. A single or partial exercise of any right will not preclude a party from any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right it may have.

- 43 -

(i) If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal exists or is taken, that provision will be severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

(j) This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein and the parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario.

(k) Time shall be of the essence hereof and, following any waiver or indulgence by any party, time shall again be of the essence hereof.

(l) The words, “hereunder”, “hereof” and similar phrases mean and refer to the Agreement formed as a result of the acceptance by the Company of this offer by the Underwriters to purchase the Offered Shares.

(m) All warranties, representations, covenants and agreements of the Company herein contained or contained in any Ancillary Document (including those related to indemnification and contribution) shall survive the purchase by the Underwriters of the Offered Shares and shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the Underwriters regardless of the Closing of the sale of the Offered Shares, any subsequent disposition of the Offered Shares by the Underwriters or the termination of the Underwriters’ obligations under this Agreement and shall not be limited or prejudiced by any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters in accordance with the preparation of the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Supplementary Material or the distribution of the Offered Shares or otherwise, and the Company agrees that the Underwriters shall not be presumed to know of the existence of a claim against the Company under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or in connection with the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares as a result of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters in accordance with the preparation of the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Supplementary Material or the distribution of the Offered Shares or otherwise.

(n) Each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to rely on delivery of a facsimile or portable document format copy of this Agreement and acceptance by each such party of any such facsimile or portable document format copy shall be legally effective to create a valid and binding agreement between the parties hereto in accordance with the terms hereof.

(o) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
