(c) The Company represents and agrees that, it has not made, and unless it obtains the prior consent of the Underwriters, it will not, make any offer relating to the Offered Securities that would constitute a “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act (each, a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus”); provided that the prior written consent of the Underwriters hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Issuer

Free Writing Prospectus(es) included in Schedule B hereto.

in, or omission or alleged omission from any Registration Statement, Prospectus or Amended Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the U.S. Securities Act, made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for use therein, which information the parties hereto agree is limited to the Underwriters’ Information (as defined in Section 18). This indemnity agreement is not exclusive and will be in addition to any liability which the Company might otherwise have and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available at law or in equity to each Underwriter Indemnified Party.

(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the U.S. Securities Act or Section 20 of the U.S. Exchange Act (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties,” and each a “Company Indemnified Party”) against any loss, claim, damage, expense or liability whatsoever (or any action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Company Indemnified Party may become subject, under the U.S. Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the U.S. Securities Act, any Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Registration Statement or in any amendment thereto, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the U.S. Securities Act, or the Prospectuses or Amended Prospectuses, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or document incorporated by reference therein, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for use therein, which information the parties hereto agree is limited to the Underwriters’ Information as defined in Section 18, and shall reimburse the Company Indemnified Party promptly upon demand for any legal fees or other expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or preparing to defend or defending against, settling, compromising or appearing as third party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, investigation or proceeding, as such fees and expenses are incurred. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(b), in no event shall any indemnity by any Underwriter under this Section 8(b) exceed the total discount and commission received by such Underwriter in connection with the Offering.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, investigation, proceeding or claim, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of that action,

investigation, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 8 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; and, provided, further, that the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8. If any such action, investigation, proceeding or claim shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense of such action, investigation, proceeding or claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (which counsel shall not, except with the written consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party). After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action, investigation, proceeding or claim, except as provided herein, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under Section 7 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such action, investigation, proceeding or claim other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, investigation, proceeding or claim and to participate in the defense of such action, investigation, proceeding or claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel (other than reasonable costs of investigation) shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized in writing by the Company in the case of a claim for indemnification under Section 8(a) or by the Representative in the case of a claim for indemnification under Section 8(b), (ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action, investigation, proceeding or claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party within a reasonable period of time after notice of the commencement of the action, investigation, proceeding or claim, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action, investigation, proceeding or claim on behalf of such indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall be responsible for legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense of such action, investigation, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action, investigation, proceeding or claim or separate but substantially similar or related actions, investigations, proceedings or claims in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties (in addition to any local counsel), which firm shall be designated in writing by the Representative if the indemnified parties under this Section 8 consist of any Underwriter Indemnified Party or by the Company if the indemnified parties under this Section 8 consist of any Company Indemnified Parties. Subject to this Section 8(c), the amount payable by an indemnifying party under Section 8 shall include, but not be limited to, (x) reasonable legal fees and expenses of counsel to the indemnified party and any other reasonable expenses in investigating, or preparing to defend or defending against, or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any action, investigation, proceeding or

claim, and (y) all amounts paid in settlement of any of the foregoing. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to any pending or threatened action, investigation, proceeding or any claim whatsoever, in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 8 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or Section 8(b), then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid, payable or otherwise incurred by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or any action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof), as incurred, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the Offering, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) of this Section 8(d) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) of this Section 8(d) but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to the statements, omissions, acts or failures to act which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or any action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to the Offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discount and commission received by the Underwriters in connection with the Offering, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectuses and Amended Prospectuses. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement, omission, act or failure to act. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 8(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding referred to above in this Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 8(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), no Underwriter shall be

required to contribute any amount in excess of the total discount and commission received by such Underwriter in connection with the Offering, less the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission, act or alleged act or failure to act or alleged failure to act. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the U.S. Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

9. TERMINATION.

The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated by the Representative, in its absolute discretion by written notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Shares and Warrants if, prior to that time,

(a) any inquiry, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding (whether formal or informal) is instituted, announced or threatened or any order is issued by any governmental authority or otherwise in respect of the Company (other than an inquiry, investigation, proceeding or order based upon the activities or alleged activities of the Underwriters); or there is any change of law; or any order to cease trading in the securities of the Company is made by a governmental authority and that order is still in effect, which in the reasonable opinion of the Underwriter operates to prevent or restrict the trading in the Common Shares or the distribution of the Common Shares or which in the reasonable opinion of the Underwriter, acting in good faith, could be expected to have a material adverse effect on the market price or value of the Common Shares;

(b) there shall occur any material change or change in a material fact which, in the reasonable opinion of the Underwriter, would be expected to have a significant adverse effect on the market price or value of the Common Shares;

(c) 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 Underwriter 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 its subsidiaries taken as a whole;

(d) the Company is in breach of any material term of this Agreement; or

(e) the Underwriter determines that any of the representations or warranties made by the Company in this Agreement is false or has become false in any material respect.

If this Agreement is terminated by any of the Underwriters pursuant to Section 9, there shall be no further liability on the part of such Underwriter, except in respect of any liability which may have arisen or may thereafter arise under Section 8. 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 9 shall not be binding upon the other Underwriters.

10. REIMBURSEMENT OF UNDERWRITERS’ EXPENSES.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if (a) this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 9 other than by reason of the default of one or more Underwriters, (b) the Company shall fail to tender the Shares for delivery to the Underwriters for any reason not permitted under this Agreement, (c) the Underwriters shall fail to purchase the Shares for any reason permitted under this Agreement, or (d) the failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or to satisfy any condition or to comply with the provisions hereof, then, in addition to the payment of out-of-pocket expenses in accordance with Section 6 (but without duplication thereof), the Company shall reimburse the Underwriters for the fees and expenses of the Underwriters’ counsel and for such other accountable out-of-pocket expenses as shall have been reasonably incurred by them in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Shares, and upon demand the Company shall pay the full amount thereof to the Underwriters.

11. ABSENCE OF FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase and sale of the Offered Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the Purchase Price of the Offered Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, (b) in connection with the Offering and the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company or its shareholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (c) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favour of the Company with respect to the Offering or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Corporation on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to the Company with respect to the Offering except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, and (d) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions that may involve interests that differ from those of the Company.

12. SUCCESSORS; PERSONS ENTITLED TO BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT.

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and any controlling persons referred to herein, and the affiliates of each Underwriter referred to in Section 7 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of any Offered Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase.

13. SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITIES, REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, ETC.

The respective indemnities, covenants, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by them respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters, the Company or any person controlling any of them and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares for a period until the later of: (i) two years following the Closing Date, and (ii) the latest date under Canadian Securities Laws and U.S. Securities Laws relevant to a purchaser of any Shares (non-residents of Canada or the U.S. being deemed to be resident in the Province of British Columbia for such purposes) that a purchaser of Shares may be entitled to commence an action or exercise a right of rescission, with respect to a misrepresentation contained in the Canadian Prospectus, Canadian Amended Prospectus, U.S. Prospectus, U.S. Amended Prospectus or, if applicable, any supplementary material, including without limitation any termination pursuant to Section 9, the indemnity and contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in Sections 8 and 10.

22.2 If any one or more of the Underwriters fails to purchase its or their applicable percentage of the Shares at the Closing Date or at the Option Closing Date as the case may be (the “Defaulting Underwriter”), and if the aggregate number of Shares not purchased is:

(a) less than or equal to ten percent (10%) of the Shares agreed to be purchased by the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement, then each of the other Underwriters shall be obligated to purchase severally the Shares not taken up by the Defaulting Underwriter, in such proportions as they may agree among themselves; or

(b) greater than ten percent (10%) of the Shares agreed to be purchased by the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement, then the remaining Underwriters shall not be obligated to purchase such Shares not taken up by the Defaulting Underwriter; however, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right, exercisable in their sole discretion, to purchase such proportion of the Shares as may be agreed to among the remaining Underwriters all, but not less than all, of the Shares which would otherwise have been purchased by the Defaulting Underwriter or Defaulting Underwriters (the “Purchase Right”) and to receive an equivalent portion of the Defaulting Underwriter’s Underwriting Fee in respect thereof.
