The Agent acknowledges that the Agent’s Options, the Agent’s Option Shares, the Agent’s Option Warrants and the Agent’s Option Warrant Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws and that the Agent’s Options and the Agent’s Option Warrants may not be exercised in the United States or by or on behalf of a person in the United States, nor may the Agent’s Options, the Agent’s Option Shares, the Agent’s Option Warrants or the Agent’s Option Warrant Shares be offered or sold in the United States, unless an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws is available.

10.3

In connection with the acquisition of the Fee Units and Agent’s Option, the Agent represents and warrants to the Corporation as follows:  (i) that the Agent (A) was not offered the Fee Units or Agent’s Option in the United States and (B) did not execute or deliver this Agreement and will not exercise the Fee Warrants, Agent’s Option or Agent’s Option Warrants in the United States; (ii) that the Agent is aware that the Fee Shares, the Fee Warrants, the Fee Warrant Shares, the Agent’s Option, the Agent’s Option Shares, the Agent’s Option Warrants and the Agent’s Option Warrant Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws and that the Fee Warrants, Agent’s Option and the Agent’s Option Warrants may not be exercised in the United States or by or on behalf of a person in the United States or a US Person, nor may the Fee Shares, the Fee Warrants, the Fee Warrant Shares, the Agent’s Option, the Agent’s Option Shares, the Agent’s Option Warrants or the Agent’s Option Warrant Shares be offered or sold in the United States, unless an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws is available.  Until such time as it is no longer required by the 1933 Act, the certificates representing the Fee Warrants, the Agent’s Option and the Agent’s Option Warrants shall bear a legend is substantially the following form:

“[In the case of the Fee Warrants and the Agent’s Option Warrants:  THIS WARRANT] [In the case of the Agent’s Option:  THIS OPTION] AND THE SECURITIES DELIVERABLE UPON EXERCISE THEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES.  [In the case of the Fee Warrants and Agent’s Option Warrants:  THIS WARRANT][In the case of the Agent’s Option:  THIS OPTION] MAY NOT BE EXERCISED IN THE UNITED STATES, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF A U.S. PERSON UNLESS THIS WARRANT AND SHARES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF [In the case of the Fee Warrants and Agent’s Option Warrants: THIS WARRANT][In the case of the Agent’s Option:  THIS OPTION] HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LEGISLATION OF ANY SUCH STATE OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS IS AVAILABLE.  “UNITED STATES” AND “U.S. PERSON” ARE DEFINED BY REGULATIONS UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.”

The Corporation shall provide the Agent with a retainer in the amount of $10,000, representing the Agent’s anticipated expenses, and such retainer shall be applied against the Agent’s Expenses.  The Agent’s Expenses will be paid by the Corporation even if the requisite approval of the Private Placement is not granted by the Exchange or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not completed or this Agreement is terminated, unless the failure of acceptance, or completion, or the termination is the result of the breach of this Agreement by the Agent.

(e)

any order made by any regulatory authority, that trading in or Distribution of any of the Securities is to cease or be suspended, or that trading by the directors, officers or promoters of the Corporation, or any one of them, shall cease or be suspended if such order is based on any Misrepresentation of the Corporation (except of a statement included in reliance upon information furnished to the Corporation by or on behalf of an Agent);

If any action or claim is brought against an Indemnified Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the Corporation pursuant to this Agreement the Indemnified Person will promptly notify the Corporation in writing, and the Corporation will assume the defence of the action or claim, including the employment of counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Person (acting reasonably) and the payment of all expenses.

The right to indemnity herein provided will be in addition to and not in derogation of any other right to indemnity or contribution which any Indemnified Person may have by statute or otherwise at law.

11.7

If indemnification under this Agreement is found in a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be available for reason of public policy, the Corporation and the Indemnified Persons will contribute to the losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) for which such indemnification is held unavailable in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to and fault of the Corporation, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Persons on the other hand, in connection with the matter giving rise to such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof). No person found liable for a fraudulent Misrepresentation will be entitled to contribution from any person who is not found liable for such fraudulent Misrepresentation.
