The Underwriters hereby severally, and not jointly, nor jointly and severally, offer to purchase from the Company in the percentages set forth in section 8.1 of this Agreement, all but not less than all of the Common Shares on a "bought deal" basis, at the purchase price of $5.85 per Common Share (the "Purchase Price") for aggregate gross proceeds of $22,007,700.

The Company hereby grants to the Underwriters (in accordance with the respective percentages set forth in section 8.1 of this Agreement (as defined below)) an option (the "Over-Allotment Option"), entitling the Underwriters to purchase severally and not jointly, nor jointly and severally, up to an additional 564,300 Common Shares (the "Over-Allotment Common Shares") at the Purchase Price for additional aggregate gross proceeds of up to $3,301,155 for the purpose of covering the Underwriters' over-allocation position. The Over-Allotment Option shall be non-assignable and shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time for up to 30 days after the Closing Date. The offering of the Common Shares and any Over-Allotment Common Shares by the Company described in this Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the "Offering".

The net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be used as set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus (as hereinafter defined) under the heading "Use of Proceeds". In consideration of the Underwriters' agreement to purchase the Common Shares and Over-Allotment Common Shares (if applicable) and the other services to be rendered in connection with the Offering, the Company shall pay to the Lead Underwriter, for and on behalf of all of the Underwriters, a cash fee (the "Underwriting Fee") in an amount equal to 5.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the issue and sale of the Common Shares and any Over-Allotment Common Shares except those Common Shares that are subject to the President's List Exemption (as defined below). In relation to pre-identified individual purchasers of the Offering, agreed upon between the Company and the Lead Underwriter (the "President's List"), the fee payable on proceeds from the sale of Common Shares placed with the President's List will be 2.5% (the "President's List Exemption"). The President's List Exemption will be applicable for up to $500,000 of proceeds of the Offering. For greater certainty, for any proceeds raised from the President's List in excess of $500,000, the fee payable to the Lead Underwriter, for and on behalf of all the Underwriters, will be 5.0%. The Underwriting Fee shall be payable on the Closing Date.

The Offering shall take place in the Qualifying Jurisdictions (as hereinafter defined) and in the United States, provided, however, that offers and sales of Common Shares in the United States by the Underwriters acting through their U.S. Affiliates (as hereinafter defined), shall be made directly by the Company on a "substituted purchaser" basis in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws of the United States, in each case to persons who the Underwriters and their U.S. Affiliates reasonably believe to be Qualified Institutional Buyers (as hereinafter defined) in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Rule 506(b) of Regulation D and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the U.S. Securities Act and similar exemptions under applicable U.S. state securities laws, and in each case in accordance with the provisions of Schedule "A" to this Agreement.

12.1 The Company (the "Indemnitor") agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters and their respective affiliates, their respective present and former directors, officers, employees, partners, advisors, shareholders and each other person, if any, controlling an Underwriter or any of its affiliates (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties" and individually, an "Indemnified Party"), to the full extent lawful, from and against any and all expenses, losses, claims, actions, damages and liabilities, joint or several, (including the aggregate amount paid in reasonable settlement of any actions, suits, proceedings, investigations or claims and the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel that may be incurred in advising with respect to and/or defending any action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim that may be made or threatened against any Indemnified Party) to which any Indemnified Party may become subject or otherwise involved in any capacity under any statute or common law or otherwise insofar as such expenses, losses, claims, actions, damages or liabilities relate to, are caused by, result from, arise out of or are based upon, directly or indirectly

(a) any breach of or default under any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company in this Agreement or any other document to be delivered in connection with the Offering, or the failure of the Company to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or under those other documents;

(b) the Company not complying with any requirement of any securities laws relating to the Offering of the Common Shares and Over-Allotment Common Shares;

(c) any information or statement contained in any of the offering documents or any other document or material filed or delivered by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the Offering (except any information or statement relating solely to the Underwriters and furnished by the Underwriters specifically for use in such documents, being or being alleged to be an untrue statement or misrepresentation);

(d) any omission or alleged omission to state in any offering document filed or delivered by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the Offering (except facts relating solely to the Underwriters and provided by the Underwriters), required to be stated in such offering document or necessary to make any statement in such offering document not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it was made; or

(e) any order made or any inquiry, investigation or proceeding instituted, threatened or announced by any court, securities regulatory authority, stock exchange or any other governmental authority, based upon any untrue statement, omission or misrepresentation or alleged untrue statement, omission or misrepresentation contained in any of the offering documents or in any certificate or other document of the Company filed or delivered in connection with the Offering or based on any failure to comply with the securities laws (except an untrue statement, omission or misrepresentation relating solely to the Underwriters and furnished by them specifically for use in such documents) preventing or restricting the trading in or the sale or distribution of the Common Shares and Over-Allotment Common Shares.

12.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, this indemnity shall not apply to an Indemnified Party to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non-appealable shall determine that such expenses, losses, claims, actions, costs, damages or liabilities to which the Indemnified Party may be subject were caused by the breach of this Agreement, fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.

12.3 The Indemnitor also agrees that no Indemnified Party will have any liability (either direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Indemnitor or any person asserting claims on the Indemnitor's behalf or in right for or in connection with the Offering, except to the extent that any expenses, losses, claims, actions, costs, damages or liabilities incurred by the Indemnitor are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become nonappealable to have resulted from the breach of this Agreement, fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.

12.4 If for any reason (other than a determination by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non-appealable that such expenses, losses, claims, actions, costs, damages or liabilities to which the Indemnified Party may be subject were caused by the breach of this Agreement, fraud, negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnified Party) the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Party harmless, the Indemnitor shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by any Indemnified Party as a result of such expense, loss, claim, action, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnitor on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other hand but also the relative fault of the Indemnitor or any Indemnified Party as well as any relevant equitable considerations; provided that the Indemnitor shall in any event contribute to the amount paid or payable by any Indemnified Party as a result of such expense, loss, claim, action, damage or liability in excess of such amount over the aggregate amount of the fee received by the Underwriters pursuant to the Offering.

12.5 The Indemnitor agrees that in case any legal proceeding shall be brought against the Indemnitor and/or any Indemnified Party by any governmental authority or stock exchange or if such authority or exchange shall investigate the Indemnitor and/or any Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party shall be required to testify in connection therewith or shall be required to respond to procedures designed to discover information regarding, in connection with or by reason of this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in connection therewith, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel as well as the reasonable costs (including an amount to reimburse an Underwriter for time spent by its, or any of its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, partners or agents (collectively, "Personnel") in connection therewith based on such Underwriter's then current schedule of per diem fees for its personnel) and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by its Personnel in connection therewith shall be paid by the Indemnitor as they occur.

12.6 Promptly after receiving notice of an action, suit, proceeding or claim against any Indemnified Party or receipt of notice of the commencement of any investigation which is based, directly or indirectly, upon any matter in respect of which indemnification may be sought from the Indemnitor pursuant to this indemnity, such Indemnified Party will notify the Indemnitor in writing of the particulars thereof, will provide copies of all relevant documentation to the Indemnitor and, unless the Indemnitor assumes the defence thereof, will keep the Indemnitor advised of the progress thereof and will discuss all significant actions proposed. The omission so to notify the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability which the Indemnitor may have to any Indemnified Party, except only to the extent that any such delay in or failure to give notice as herein required prejudices the defence of such action, suit, proceeding, claim or investigation or results in any material increase in the liability which the Indemnitor would otherwise have under this indemnity had an Indemnified Party not so delayed in or failed to give the notice required hereunder.

12.7 The Indemnitor shall have 30 days after receipt of the notice, at its own expense, to participate in and, to the extent it may wish to do so, assume the defence thereof, provided such defence is conducted by experienced and competent counsel. Upon the Indemnitor notifying an Indemnified Party in writing of its election to assume the defence and retaining counsel, the Indemnitor shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with such defence. If such defence is assumed by the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor throughout the course thereof will provide copies of all relevant documentation to the Indemnified Party, will keep the Indemnified Party advised of the progress thereof and will discuss with the Indemnified Party all significant actions proposed.

12.8 Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the Indemnitor's expense, to employ counsel of such Indemnified Party's choice, in respect of the defence of any action, suit, proceeding, claim or investigation if: (i) the employment of such counsel has been authorized by the Indemnitor; (ii) the Indemnitor has not assumed the defence and employed counsel therefor within 30 days after receiving notice of such action, suit, proceeding, claim or investigation; or (iii) counsel retained by the Indemnitor or the Indemnified Party has advised the Indemnified Party in writing that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate because there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party or the subject matter of the action, suit, proceeding, claim or investigation may not fall within the indemnity set forth herein (in either of which events the Indemnitor shall not have the right to assume or direct the defence on the Indemnified Party's behalf).

12.9 No admission of liability and no settlement of any action, suit, proceeding, claim or investigation shall be made without the consent of the Indemnified Parties affected, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. No admission of liability shall be made and the Indemnitor shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, suit, proceeding, claim or investigation made without its consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

12.10 The Indemnitors hereby acknowledges that the Underwriters act as trustee for the other Indemnified Parties of the Indemnitor's covenants under this indemnity with respect to such persons and the Underwriters agree to accept such trust and to hold and enforce such covenants on behalf of such persons.

12.11 This indemnity and contribution obligations of the Indemnitor hereunder shall be in addition to any liability which the Indemnitor may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Indemnitor, and any Indemnified Party. The foregoing provisions shall survive the completion of the Offering.

13. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

13.1 Except as otherwise provided herein, all terms and conditions set out herein shall be construed as conditions and any breach or failure by the Company to comply with any material conditions in favour of the Underwriters shall entitle the Underwriters to terminate in accordance with section 13.2(d) their obligation to purchase the Common Shares and any Over-Allotment Common Shares by written notice to that effect given to the Company prior to the Closing Time on the Closing Date or Option Closing (as applicable). The Company shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause all conditions in this Agreement to be satisfied. It is understood that the Underwriters may waive in whole or in part, or extend the time for compliance with, any of such terms and conditions without prejudice to their rights in respect of any subsequent breach or non-compliance, provided that to be binding on the Underwriters, any such waiver or extension must be in writing.

13.2 In addition to the completion of satisfactory due diligence by the Closing Date, and any other remedies which may be available to the Underwriters, this Agreement and any obligation of the Underwriters to purchase Common Shares and any Over-Allotment Common Shares may be terminated by the Co-Lead Underwriters, on behalf of the Underwriters, upon delivery of written notice to the Company at any time up to the Closing of the Offering if at any time prior to the Closing of the Offering:

(a) there shall have occurred any material change in the business, affairs, operations, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), or capital of the Company, or, change in any material fact, or have arisen or been discovered any new material fact or the Underwriters shall have become aware of any undisclosed material fact, that would be expected to in the opinion of Co-Lead Underwriters, acting reasonably, on behalf of the Underwriters, have a material adverse effect on the market price or value of the common shares of the Company; or

(b) 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 is made, or proceedings are announced, commenced or threatened for the making of any such order, by any securities commission or similar regulatory authority, the Exchanges or any other competent authority, and has not been rescinded, revoked or withdrawn; or

(c) any inquiry, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding (formal or informal) is made, announced or threatened, or any order is issued, or any law or regulation is promulgated, changed or announced, by any domestic or foreign federal, provincial, state, municipal or other domestic or foreign government department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, including without limitation, the Exchanges or any securities regulatory authority, which, in the opinion of Co-Lead Underwriters, acting reasonably, prevents or restricts trading of the securities of the Company or adversely affects or will adversely affect the financial markets or the business, operations or affairs of the Company; or

(d) 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 Co-Lead Underwriters materially adversely affects or involves, or would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect or involve, the financial markets or the business, operations or affairs of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; or

(e) the Company is in breach of any material term, condition or covenant of this Agreement or any material representation or warranty given by the Company in this Agreement is or becomes false; or

(f) the Company is required to obtain the approval of any of its security holders in order to close the Offering.

13.3 The Co-Lead Underwriters shall make reasonable best efforts to give notice to the Company (in writing or by other means) of the occurrence of any of the events referred to in section 13.2 provided that neither the giving nor the failure to give such notice shall in any way affect the entitlement of the Co-Lead Underwriters to exercise its rights under section 13.2, on behalf of the Underwriters, at any time prior to or at the Closing Time on the Closing Date or the Over-Allotment Closing Date (as the case may be).

13.4 The rights of termination contained in this Section 13 as may be exercised by the Co-Lead Underwriters, on behalf of the Underwriters, are in addition to any other rights or remedies the Underwriters may have in respect of any default, act or failure to act or non-compliance by the Company in respect of any of the matters contemplated by this Agreement.

13.5 If the obligations of the Underwriters are terminated under this Agreement pursuant to these termination rights, the Company's liabilities to the Underwriters shall be limited to the Company's obligations under subsection 6.1(q), section 7, section 12 and section 13.
