APPENDIX A - INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 



The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless MCF
 and its officers, directors, employees, consultants, attorneys, agents and controlling persons (within
 the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 20 of the Securities
 Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (MCF and each such other persons are collectively and individually
 referred to below as an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all loss, claim, damage, liability
 and expense whatsoever, as incurred, including, without limitation, reasonable costs of any investigation,
 legal and other fees and expenses incurred in connection with, and any amounts paid in settlement of,
 any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted, to which the Indemnified Party may become subject
 under any applicable federal or state law (whether in tort, contract or on any other basis) or otherwise,
 and related to the performance by the Indemnified Party of the services contemplated by this letter
 agreement and will reimburse the Indemnified Party for all expenses (including legal fees and expenses)
 as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense of any pending
 or threatened claim or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not the Indemnified Party
 is a party and whether or not such claim, action or proceeding is initiated or brought by the Company.
 The Company will not be liable under the foregoing indemnification provision to the extent that any
 loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court or arbitrator, not
 subject to appeal or further appeal, to have resulted from the Indemnified Party’s bad faith, willful
 misconduct or gross negligence. The Company also agrees that the Indemnified Party shall have no liability
 (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Company related to, or arising out
 of, the engagement of the Indemnified Party pursuant to, or the performance by the Indemnified Party
 of the services contemplated by, this letter agreement except to the extent that any loss, claim, damage,
 liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court or arbitrator, not subject to appeal or
 further appeal, to have resulted from the Indemnified party’s bad faith, willful misconduct or gross
 negligence. If the indemnity provided above shall be unenforceable or unavailable for any reason whatsoever,
 the Company, its successors and assigns, and the Indemnified Party shall contribute to all such losses,
 claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all costs of any investigation,
 legal or other fees and expenses incurred in connection with, and any amounts paid in settlement of,
 any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted) (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
 the relative benefits received by the Company and MCF under the terms of this letter agreement or (ii)
 if the allocation provided for by clause (i) of this sentence 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 and MCF in connection with the matter(s) as to which contribution
 is to be made. The relative benefits received by the Company and MCF shall be deemed to be in the same
 proportion as the fee the Company actually pays to MCF bears to the total value of the consideration
 paid or to be paid to the Company and/or the Company’s shareholders. The relative fault of the Company
 and MCF shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue
 statement of material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
 supplied by the Company or by MCF and the Company’s and MCF’s relative intent, knowledge, access to
 information and opportunity to correct. The Company and MCF agree that it would not be just or equitable
 if contribution pursuant to this paragraph were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method
 of allocation which does not take into account these equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
 to the extent permitted by law, in no event shall the Indemnified Party’s share of such losses, claims,
 damages, liabilities and expenses exceed, in the aggregate, the fee actually paid to the Indemnified
 Party by the Company. 




Sequential Page No:  333 of 350
Exhibits:  Page 123









The Indemnified Party will give prompt written notice
 to the Company of any claim for which it seeks indemnification hereunder, but the omission to so notify
 the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may otherwise have hereunder except
 to the extent that the Company is damaged or prejudiced by such omission or from any liability it may
 have other than under this Appendix A. The Company shall have the right to assume the defense of any
 claim, lawsuit or action (collectively an “action”) for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification
 hereunder, subject to the provisions stated herein with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
 Party. After notice from the Company to the Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense
 thereof, and so long as the Company performs its obligations pursuant to such election, the Company
 will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
 the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.
 The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate
 in the defense thereof at its own expense; provided, however, that the reasonable fees
 and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company if the named parties to any such
 action (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the Company and the
 Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded, based on advice of counsel, that there may be legal
 defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from, or in conflict with, any legal
 defenses which may be available to the Company (in which event the Company shall not have the right
 to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party, it being understood, however,
 that the Company shall not be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate
 firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties in each jurisdiction in which counsel is needed). Despite
 the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall not settle any claim without the prior written approval of
 the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, so long as the Company is not in material
 breach of this Appendix A. Also, each Indemnified Party shall make reasonable efforts to mitigate its
 losses and liabilities. In addition to the Company’s other obligations hereunder and without limitation,
 the Company agrees to pay monthly, upon receipt of itemized statements therefor, all reasonable fees
 and expenses of counsel incurred by an Indemnified Party in defending any claim of the type set forth
 in the preceding paragraphs or in producing documents, assisting in answering any interrogatories, giving
 any deposition testimony or otherwise becoming involved in any action or response to any claim relating
 to the engagement referred to herein, or any of the matters enumerated in the preceding paragraphs,
 whether or not any claim is made against an Indemnified Party or an Indemnified Party is named as a
 party to any such action.

fees to be mutually agreed upon at the appropriate time. The specific terms of any such additional
engagements will be set forth in separate letter agreements containing terms and conditions to be mutually agreed upon,
including without limitation appropriate indemnification provisions. 







The Company further understands that if MCF is asked
 to act for the Company in any other formal additional capacity relating to this engagement but not specifically
 addressed in this letter, such as acting as an underwriter in connection with the issuance of securities
 by the Company, then such activities shall constitute separate engagements and the terms and conditions
 of any such additional engagements will be embodied in one or more separate written agreements, containing
 provisions and terms to be mutually agreed upon, including without limitation appropriate indemnification
 provisions. The indemnity provisions in Appendix B shall apply to any such additional engagements,
 unless superseded by an indemnity provision set forth in a separate agreement applicable to any such
 additional engagements, and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any completion, modification
 or termination of MCF’s engagement(s). 



8.     Other MCF Activities.
 MCF is a full service securities firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well
 as investment banking and financial advisory services. In the ordinary course of our trading and brokerage
 activities, MCF or its affiliates may hold positions, for its own account or the accounts of customers,
 in equity, debt or other securities of the Company or any other company that may be involved in a Sale
 Transaction or Acquisition Transaction. 



9.     Compliance with Applicable
 Law. In connection with this engagement, the Company and MCF will comply with all applicable federal,
 provincial, state and foreign securities laws and other applicable laws. 



10.     Independent Contractor.
 MCF is and at all times during the term hereof will remain an independent contractor, and nothing contained
 in this letter agreement will create the relationship of employer and employee or principal and agent
 as between the Company and MCF or any of its employees. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
 all final decisions with respect to matters about which MCF has provided services hereunder shall be
 solely those of the Company, and MCF shall have no liability relating thereto or arising therefrom.
 MCF shall have no authority to bind or act for the Company in any respect. It is understood that MCF
 responsibility to the Company is solely contractual in nature and that MCF does not owe the Company,
 or any other party, any fiduciary duty as a result of its engagement. 



11.     Best Efforts Engagement
 for Capital Raising. It is expressly understood and acknowledged that MCF’s engagement for Capital
 Raising does not constitute any commitment, express or implied, on the part of MCF or of any of its
 affiliates to purchase or place the Company’s securities or to provide any type of financing and that
 any Capital Raising engagement will be conducted by MCF on a “best efforts” basis. It is further understood
 that MCF’s services hereunder shall be subject to, among other things, satisfactory completion of due
 diligence by MCF, market conditions, the absence of adverse changes to the Company’s business or financial
 condition, approval of MCF’s internal commitment committee and any other conditions that MCF may deem
 appropriate for placements of such nature. 



12.     Successors and Assigns.
 This letter agreement and all obligations and benefits of the parties hereto shall bind and shall inure
 to their benefit and that of their respective successors and assigns. The indemnity and contribution
 provisions incorporated into this letter agreement are for the express benefit of the officers, directors,
 employees, consultants, agents and controlling persons of MCF and their respective successors and assigns.

13.     Announcements. The
 Company grants to MCF the right to place customary announcement(s) of this engagement in certain newspapers
 and to mail announcement(s) to persons and firms selected by MCF, the whole subject to the Company’s
 prior approval and all costs of such announcement(s) will be borne by MCF. 



14.     Arbitration. Any
 dispute between the parties concerning the interpretation, validity or performance of this letter agreement
 or any of its terms and provisions shall be submitted to binding arbitration in the Province of Quebec
 before an arbitrator selected by the parties hereto, and the prevailing party in such arbitration shall
 have the right to have any award made by the arbitrators confirmed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
 



15.     General Provisions.
 No purported waiver or modification of any of the terms of this letter agreement will be valid unless
 made in writing and signed by the parties hereto. Section headings used in this letter agreement are
 for convenience only, are not a part of this letter agreement and will not be used in construing any
 of the terms hereof. This letter agreement constitutes and embodies the entire understanding and agreement
 of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, and there are no other agreements or understandings,
 written or oral, in effect between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof. No representation,

 to be embodied in this letter agreement, and none of the parties hereto shall be bound by or liable
 for any alleged representation, promise, inducement or statement of intention, not so set forth herein.
 No provision of this letter agreement shall be construed in favor of or against either of the parties
 hereto by reason of the extent to which either of the parties or its counsel participated in the drafting
 hereof. If any provision of this letter agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
 invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall in no way be affected and shall
 remain in full force and effect. In case of any litigation or arbitration between the parties hereto,
 the prevailing party shall be entitled to its reasonable legal fees. This letter agreement is made and
 entered in the Province of Quebec, and the laws of that province relating to contracts made in, and
 to be performed entirely in, the province shall govern the validity and the interpretation hereof. This

APPENDIX A - DEFINITION OF TRANSACTION VALUE
 



In the context of this Agreement, “Transaction Value”
 means the aggregate value of all cash, cash equivalents, securities, and any other forms of payment
 received or to be received, directly or indirectly, by the Company or the Target, as the case may be,
 and its share, option, warrant and debt holders including, without limitation payments for stock or
 assets sold, funds loaned to the Company or the Target, prepaid royalties, advances against sales, licensing
 agreements, reimbursed NRE (non-recurring engineering) and any and all other payments that may be construed
 as advanced payments for products or services to be delivered in the future. In addition, the Transaction
 Value shall include (A) the aggregate amount of any dividends or other distributions to the shareholders
 of the Company or the Target following the date of this Agreement, other than normal recurring cash
 dividends in amounts not materially greater than currently paid; (B) the net value of any current assets
 of the Company or the Target (such as accounts receivable) not sold by the Company or the Target; and
 (C) the fair market value at the time of payment of the fees of (i) any of the Company’s or the Target’s
 consolidated debt (both long-term and short-term, including capitalized leases) outstanding, assumed
 or refinanced at the closing or in anticipation of a Sale Transaction or Acquisition Transaction, as
 the case may be; (ii) all options, warrants, stock purchase rights or stock appreciation rights, whether
 or not vested, purchased or assumed by an Acquirer in connection with a Transaction; (iii) all employment
 contracts, service contracts, non-competition agreements and pension liabilities or other employee benefit
 plan liabilities assumed or entered into by or with an Acquirer or its affiliates or the Target or its
 affiliates in connection with a Sale Transaction or Acquisition Transaction, as the case may be. 




If part or all of the Transaction Value in a Sale Transaction
 or Acquisition Transaction is represented by securities, the value thereof for the purpose of computing
 the fees shall be determined as follows: 



    (i)       
 For securities which are publicly traded prior to the consummation of such transaction, the average
 last sale price for such securities for the ten trading days prior to the consummation of such transaction;
 



    (ii)       
 For newly-issued, publicly-traded securities, the average last sale price for such securities for ten
 trading days subsequent to the consummation of such transaction, with such portion of the fees being
 payable the eleventh trading day subsequent to the consummation of such transaction; and 



    (iii)       
 For securities for which no market exists, the mutual agreement of the Company and MCF as determined
 prior to the closing of such transaction. 



If part or all of the Transaction Value is contingent
 upon the occurrence of some future event (e.g. the realization of earnings projections), then for purpose
 of the calculation of the fees, the future event will be estimated and discounted to its present value
 using the Bank of America reference rate as the discount rate and the base case projections presented
 to the Acquirer for a Sale Transaction or the Company for an Acquisition Transaction. 



If part or all of the Transaction Value is fixed amounts
 of cash or other consideration payable in the future, including any non-competition, consultation, or
 similar payments, then the calculation of the fees will be based on the present value of those payments
 discounted using Bank of America’s reference rate as the discount rate.

APPENDIX B - INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 




The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless MCF
 and its officers, directors, employees, consultants, attorneys, agents and controlling persons (within
 the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 20 of the Securities
 Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (MCF and each such other persons are collectively and individually
 referred to below as an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all loss, claim, damage, liability
 and expense whatsoever, as incurred, including, without limitation, reasonable costs of any investigation,
 legal and other fees and expenses incurred in connection with, and any amounts paid in settlement of,
 any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted, to which the Indemnified Party may become subject
 under any applicable federal or state law (whether in tort, contract or on any other basis) or otherwise,
 and related to the performance by the Indemnified Party of the services contemplated by this letter
 agreement and will reimburse the Indemnified Party for all expenses (including legal fees and expenses)
 as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense of any pending
 or threatened claim or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not the Indemnified Party
 is a party and whether or not such claim, action or proceeding is initiated or brought by the Company.
 The Company will not be liable under the foregoing indemnification provision to the extent that any
 loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court or arbitrator, not
 subject to appeal or further appeal, to have resulted from the Indemnified Party’s bad faith, willful
 misconduct or gross negligence. The Company also agrees that the Indemnified Party shall have no liability
 (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Company related to, or arising out
 of, the engagement of the Indemnified Party pursuant to, or the performance by the Indemnified Party
 of the services contemplated by, this letter agreement except to the extent that any loss, claim, damage,
 liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court or arbitrator, not subject to appeal or
 further appeal, to have resulted from the Indemnified party’s bad faith, willful misconduct or gross
 negligence. 



If the indemnity provided above shall be unenforceable
 or unavailable for any reason whatsoever, the Company, its successors and assigns, and the Indemnified
 Party shall contribute to all such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without
 limitation, all costs of any investigation, legal or other fees and expenses incurred in connection
 with, and any amounts paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted) (i)
 in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and MCF
 under the terms of this letter agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided for by clause (i) of this
 sentence 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 and MCF
 in connection with the matter(s) as to which contribution is to be made. The relative benefits received
 by the Company and MCF shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the fee the Company actually
 pays to MCF bears to the total value of the consideration paid or to be paid to the Company and/or the
 Company’s shareholders in the Capital Raising Transaction or Sale Transaction, as the case may be, or
 the Target in an Acquisition Transaction. The relative fault of the Company and MCF shall be determined
 by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact
 or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company
 or by MCF and the Company’s and MCF’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
 to correct. The Company and MCF agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant
 to this paragraph were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which
 does not take into account these equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent
 permitted by law, in no event shall the Indemnified Party’s share of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities
 and expenses exceed, in the aggregate, the fee actually paid to the Indemnified Party by the Company.
 



Sequential Page No:  343 of 350
Exhibits:  Page 123










The Indemnified Party will give prompt written notice
 to the Company of any claim for which it seeks indemnification hereunder, but the omission to so notify
 the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may otherwise have hereunder except
 to the extent that the Company is damaged or prejudiced by such omission or from any liability it may
 have other than under this Appendix B. The Company shall have the right to assume the defense of any
 claim, lawsuit or action (collectively an “action”) for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification
 hereunder, subject to the provisions stated herein with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
 Party. After notice from the Company to the Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense
 thereof, and so long as the Company performs its obligations pursuant to such election, the Company
 will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
 the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.
 The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate
 in the defense thereof at its own expense; provided, however, that the reasonable fees
 and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company if the named parties to any such
 action (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the Company and the
 Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded, based on advice of counsel, that there may be legal
 defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from, or in conflict with, any legal
 defenses which may be available to the Company (in which event the Company shall not have the right
 to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party, it being understood, however,
 that the Company shall not be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate
 firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties in each jurisdiction in which counsel is needed). Despite
 the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall not settle any claim without the prior written approval of
 the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, so long as the Company is not in material
 breach of this Appendix B. Also, each Indemnified Party shall make reasonable efforts to mitigate its
 losses and liabilities. In addition to the Company’s other obligations hereunder and without limitation,
 the Company agrees to pay monthly, upon receipt of itemized statements therefor, all reasonable fees
 and expenses of counsel incurred by an Indemnified Party in defending any claim of the type set forth
 in the preceding paragraphs or in producing documents, assisting in answering any interrogatories, giving
 any deposition testimony or otherwise becoming involved in any action or response to any claim relating
 to the engagement referred to herein, or any of the matters enumerated in the preceding paragraphs,
 whether or not any claim is made against an Indemnified Party or an Indemnified Party is named as a
 party to any such action.
