      Energy, Inc. (the “Corporation”) proposes to issue and sell up
      to 2,700,000 common shares of the Corporation (the “Offered Common
      Shares”) and up to 2,250,000 common shares of the Corporation issued on
      a “flow-through” basis pursuant to the Tax Act (as defined below) (the
“Flow-Through Shares”).

     

    Subject
      to the terms and conditions hereof, the Agent agrees to act as, and the
      Corporation appoints the Agent as, the sole and exclusive agent of the
      Corporation to offer the Offered Securities (as defined below) for sale on
      the
      Closing Date in the Selling Jurisdictions (as defined below) on a private
      placement basis at a price of US$2.50 per Offered Common Share and US$3.00
      per
      Flow-Through Share and to use its best efforts to secure subscriptions
      therefor.  The Corporation acknowledges and agrees that the Agent may,
      but is not obligated to, purchase any of the Offered Securities as
      principal.

     

    The
      Agent
      shall be entitled in connection with the offering and sale of the Offered
      Securities to retain as sub agents other registered securities dealers and
      may
      receive (for delivery to the Corporation at the Closing Time (as defined below))
      subscriptions for Offered Securities from Subscribers (as defined below) from
      other registered dealers.  The fee payable to such sub agents shall be
      for the account of the Agent.

     

    In
      consideration for its services hereunder, including the ancillary service of
      acting as financial advisor to the Corporation in respect of the issue of the
      Offered Securities and advising on the terms and conditions of the subject

      for

      corporate funds of the Corporation at the time specified in
      paragraph 9.  For greater certainty, the services provided by the
      Agent in connection herewith will not be subject to the Goods and Services
      Tax
      provided for in the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and taxable supplies
      provided will be incidental to the exempt financial services provided. The
      Agent
      is also entitled to the Agent’s Warrants (as defined below) provided for in
      paragraph 9.

                offering of Offered Securities (the “Cash
                Penalty”).  At the end of each 30-day period subsequent
                to December 29, 2007, if the Common Shares (including the Offered
                Securities and the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Agent’s
                Warrants) are not listed and posted for trading on the Exchange,

                from the
                date hereof until completion of the distribution of the Offered
                Securities, to conduct all due diligence which the Agent may reasonably
                require in order to:  (i) confirm the Public Record is
                accurate, complete and current in all material respects; and
                (ii) fulfill the Agent’s obligations as
                registrants.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
                the Corporation shall, on reasonable notice, make available its directors
                and senior management and request that its auditors, legal counsel
                and
                independent engineers (if applicable) be available to answer any
                questions
                which the Agent may have and to participate in one or more due diligence
                sessions to be held prior to Closing Time (collectively, the “Due
                Diligence Session”).  The Agent shall distribute a list
                of written questions to be answered in advance of such Due Diligence
                Session and the Corporation shall use its reasonable efforts to provide
                and to have its auditors, legal counsel and independent engineers
                (if
                applicable) provide written responses to such questions in advance
                of the
                Due Diligence Session.

      in a
      final judgment from which no appeal can be made or a regulatory authority in
      a
      final ruling from which no appeal can be made shall determine that such
      Proceedings or Liabilities resulted solely from the negligence, fraud or wilful

      of or arising out of (i) any misrepresentation which is based upon information
      relating solely to the Agent contained in such document and furnished to the
      Corporation by the Agent expressly for inclusion in such document; or (ii)
      any
      failure by the Agent to provide to prospective purchasers of Offered Securities
      any document which the Corporation is required to provide to such prospective
      purchasers and which the Corporation has provided to the Agent to forward to
      such prospective purchasers.

    If
      any
      Proceeding is brought, instituted or threatened in respect of any Indemnified
      Party which may result in a claim for indemnification under this agreement,
      such
      Indemnified Party shall promptly after receiving notice thereof notify the
      Corporation of the nature of such claim, in writing, and the Corporation shall
      be entitled (but not required) to assume conduct of the defence thereof and
      retain counsel on behalf of the Indemnified Party who is reasonably satisfactory
      to the Indemnified Party, to represent the Indemnified Party in such Proceeding
      and the Corporation shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel and
      all
      other reasonable expenses of the Indemnified Party relating to such Proceeding
      as incurred.  Failure to so notify the Corporation shall not relieve
      the Corporation from liability except and only to the extent that the failure
      materially prejudices the Corporation.  If the Corporation assumes
      conduct of the defence for an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall
      fully cooperate in the defence including without limitation the provision of
      documents, appropriate officers and employees to give witness statements, attend
      examinations for discovery, make affidavits, meet with counsel, testify and
      divulge all information reasonably required to defend or prosecute the
      Proceedings.

     

    In
      any
      such Proceeding the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate
      counsel and to participate in the defence thereof if:

     

    
      	
               

            	
              (a)

            	
              the
                Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that there
                may be
                a reasonable legal defence available to the Indemnified Party that
                is
                different from or in addition to those available to the Corporation
                or
                that a conflict of interest exists which makes representation by
                counsel
                chosen by the Corporation not
                advisable;

            


    

     

    
      	
               

            	
              (b)

            	
              the
                Indemnitor has not assumed the defence of the Proceeding and employed
                counsel therefor reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party
                within
                ten (10) days after receiving notice thereof;
                or

            


    

     

    
      	
               

            	
              (c)

            	
              employment
                of such other counsel has been authorized by the
                Corporation;

            


    

     

    in
      which
      event the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel (on a solicitor
      and
      his client basis) shall be paid by the Corporation.  It being
      understood, however, that the Corporation shall not, in connection with any
      one
      such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the
      same
      jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances,
      be
      liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm
      (in addition to any local counsel) for all such Indemnified
      Parties.

    No
      admission of liability and no settlement of any Proceeding shall be made by
      the
      Indemnitor without the consent of the Indemnified Parties affected, such consent
      not to be unreasonably withheld.  No admission of liability shall be
      made by an Indemnified Party without the consent of the Indemnitor, such consent
      not to be unreasonably withheld, and the Indemnitor shall not be liable for
      any
      settlement of any Proceeding made without its consent, such consent not to
      be
      unreasonably withheld.

              Right
                of Contribution

            


    

     

    In
      order
      to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the
      indemnification provided for in this Agreement is due in accordance with its
      terms but is (in whole or in part), for any reason, held by a court to be
      unavailable from the Corporation on ground of policy or otherwise, each of
      the
      Corporation and the party or parties seeking indemnification shall contribute
      to
      the aggregate Liabilities (or Proceedings in respect thereof) to which they
      may
      be subject or which they may suffer or incur:

     

    
      	
               

            	
              (a)

            	
              in
                such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefit
                received
                by the Corporation on the one hand and by the Agent on the other
                hand from
                the offering of the Offered Securities;
                or

            


    

     

    
      	
               

            	
              (b)

            	
              if
                the allocation provided by subparagraph (a) above is not permitted by
                applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
                only
                the relative benefits referred to in subparagraph (a) above but also
                to reflect the relative fault of the party or parties seeking indemnity,
                on the one hand, and the parties from whom indemnity is sought, on
                the
                other hand, in connection with the statement, omission, misrepresentation
                or alleged misrepresentation, order, inquiry, investigation or other
                matter or thing which resulted in such liabilities, claims, demands,
                losses, costs, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant
                equitable considerations.

            


    

     

    The
      relative benefits received by the Corporation, on the one hand, and the Agent,
      on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion that the total
      proceeds of the offering received by the Corporation (net of fees but before
      deducting expenses) bear to the fees received by the Agent.  The
      relative fault of the Corporation, on the one hand, and of the Agent, on the
      other hand, shall be determined by reference, among other things, to whether
      the
      misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation, order, inquiry, investigation
      or
      other matter referred to in paragraph 16 hereof relates to information
      supplied or which ought to have been supplied by the Corporation or the Agent
      or
      steps taken or done or which ought to have been done by the Corporation or
      the
      Agent and the parties’ relevant intent, knowledge, access to information and
      opportunity to correct or prevent such misrepresentation or alleged
      misrepresentation, order, inquiry, investigation or other matter referred to
      in
      paragraph 16 hereof.

      -

    


     

    The
      amount paid or payable by the Indemnitor as a result of any Proceedings or
      Liabilities without limitation, include any legal or other expenses reasonably
      incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending
      such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses (or
      claims, actions, suits or proceedings in respect thereof), whether or not
      resulting in any action, suit, proceeding or claim.

     

    The
      Corporation agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contributions
      pursuant to this Agreement were determined by pro rata allocation or by any
      other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable
      considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraphs.

     

    Any
      liability of the Agent under this paragraph 18 shall be limited to the
      amount of the cash fees paid to the Agent pursuant to paragraph 9
      hereof.

     

    The
      rights to indemnify and right of contribution provided in the foregoing
      paragraphs 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 or in equity.  Subject to the proviso following
      subparagraph 16(g), the Indemnitor waives all rights of contribution that
      it may have against any Indemnified Party relating to any Liability in respect
      of which the Indemnitor has agreed to indemnify the Indemnified Parties
      hereunder.

     

    It
      is the
      intention of the Corporation to constitute the Agent as trustee for the
      Indemnified Parties for the purposes of paragraphs 16 to 18 inclusive and
      the Agent, shall be entitled, as trustee, to enforce such covenants on behalf
      of
      any other Indemnified Persons.

     

    If
      any
      Proceeding is brought in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
      Agreement and the Agent is required to testify in connection therewith or is
      required to respond to procedures designed to discover information relating
      thereto, the Corporation shall pay to the Agent reasonable fees at the normal
      per diem rate for its directors, officers, employees and agent involved in
      preparation for and attendance at such Proceeding or in so responding, and
      any
      other reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in connection
      therewith will be paid by the Corporation as they are incurred, except in each
      case to the extent that such Proceeding is caused solely by or is the result
      of
      the negligence, fraud or wilful misconduct of, or violation of applicable laws
      by, an Indemnified Party.

    The
      obligations under the indemnity and right of contribution provided herein shall
      apply whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are
      completed and shall survive the completion of the transactions contemplated
      under this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement.

    The
      Corporation agrees that, prior to 120 days after the final Closing Date, it
      shall not, directly or indirectly, sell or offer to sell any Common Shares
      or
      other equity securities of the Corporation, or otherwise issue, lend, transfer
      or dispose of any securities exchangeable, convertible or exercisable into
      Common Shares, or announce any intention to do any of the foregoing without
      the
      prior written consent of the Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
      withheld provided that the foregoing shall not apply to: iv) Common Shares
      issued upon exercise of outstanding stock options or warrants; and v) grants
      of
      options to acquire Common Shares.

              Alternative
                Transaction

            


    

     

    The
      Corporation agrees that in the event that the offering of Offered Securities
      as
      contemplated hereby is not completed due to the Corporation deciding in its
      sole
      and absolute discretion not to proceed with such offering, and following the
      termination of this Agreement, the Corporation enters into a binding agreement
      in respect of, or makes a public announcement in respect of, an Alternative
      Transaction, then the Corporation shall, forthwith, to the extent not already
      paid, pay such expenses of the Agent pursuant to paragraph 10 hereof and
      the corporate finance fee and cash commission to the Agent pursuant to
      subparagraphs 9(a)(i) and 9(a)(ii) hereunder, that would be payable
      hereunder in respect of the completion of the offering of Offered Securities
      in
      its entirety, as contemplated hereby.  The corporate finance fee,
      commission and any unpaid expenses payable pursuant to
      subparagraphs 9(a)(i), 9(a)(ii) and paragraph 10 hereof, respectively,
      shall be payable immediately following completion of the Alternative
      Transaction. For greater certainty, in the event that this Agreement is
      terminated by the Agent and the Corporation subsequently enters into a binding
      agreement in respect of, or makes a public announcement in respect of, an
      Alternative Transaction, the Corporation shall have no obligation to pay the
      corporate finance fee and commission payable pursuant to
      subparagraphs 9(a)(i) and 9(a)(ii) hereunder, respectively, or to grant the
      Agent’s Warrants.

              Rights
                of First Refusal

            


    

     

    In
      the
      event that within 18 months after the completion of the sale of the Offered
      Securities the Corporation proposes to undertake a merger, acquisition or
      similar transaction involving the sale of all or substantially all of the assets
      or common shares of the Corporation, the Corporation will retain the Agent
      as
      its sole financial advisor and exclusive agent to advise in the completion
      of
      such transaction, subject to agreeing on mutually acceptable fee
      arrangements.  The terms and conditions relating to any such services
      will be outlined in a separate agreement and the fees for such services will
      be
      in addition to the corporate finance fee and cash commission payable pursuant
      to
      subparagraphs 9(a)(i) and 9(a)(ii) hereunder, will be negotiated separately
      and in good faith and will be consistent with fees paid to investment bankers
      in
      North America for similar services in connection with similar
      transactions.  The Corporation agrees not to engage any other party
      for the services described in this paragraph without first complying with the
      provisions of this paragraph 22 or obtaining the prior written consent of
      the Agent.

     

    The
      Corporation agrees that for a period of 18 months following the final
      Closing Date, the Corporation will offer to the Agent (for a period of
      10 Business Days) a right of first refusal to provide lead agent or primary
      investment banking services, as the case may be, to the Corporation or any
      of
      its subsidiaries, and any successor entity to the Corporation’s business or
      assets by reorganization (such as, but not limited to, an income trust) relating
      to any equity or debt, or equity or debt related, financing involving a
      distribution to the public in Canada.  The terms and conditions
      relating to any such services will be outlined in a separate engagement letter,
      underwriting or agency agreement and the fees for such services will be in
      addition to the corporate finance fee and cash commission payable pursuant
      to
      subparagraphs 9(a)(i) and 9(a)(ii) hereunder, will be negotiated separately
      and in good faith and will be consistent with fees paid to investment bankers
      in
      North America for similar services in connection with similar
      transactions.  The Corporation agrees not to engage any other party
      for the services described in this paragraph without first complying with the
      provisions of this paragraph 20 or obtaining the prior written consent of
      the Agent.

      debt related financing of the Corporation involving a distribution to the public
      in Canada as per the preceding paragraph, on terms and conditions negotiated
      between the Agent and Mortgarten Financial Services Inc. at such
      time.  On the condition that Morgarten Financial Services Inc. makes
      reciprocal invitations to the Agent, the Agent will invite Morgarten Financial
      Services Inc. to participate in any equity or debt, or equity or debt related
      financing of the Corporation involving a distribution to the public in Europe,
      on terms and conditions negotiated between the Agent and Morgarten Financial

      hereunder, the Agent shall be entitled to fulfil its statutory obligations
      as a
      registrant under Applicable Securities Laws and its duties to its clients.
      Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to prevent the Agent from
      fulfilling its statutory obligations as a registrant under Applicable Securities
      Laws or to act as a fiduciary of its clients.
