  Agent. 

 15.2             The
  Issuer will pay the expenses referred to in the previous Subsection even if
  the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not completed or this Agreement
  is terminated, unless the failure of acceptance or completion or the termination

  Agent may, from time to time, render accounts for its expenses in connection
  with the Private Placement to the Issuer for payment on or before the dates

 16.              INDEMNITY

 16.1             The
  Issuer will indemnify the Agent and each of the Agent's agents, directors, officers
  and employees (individually, an "Indemnified Party" and collectively, the "Indemnified
  Parties") and save them harmless against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities:


	 	 (a)      	 existing by reason of an untrue statement
        contained in the Disclosure Record, subscription agreement or other written
        or oral representation made by the Issuer to a Purchaser or potential
        Purchaser in connection with the Private Placement, or by reason of the
        omission to state any fact necessary to make such statements or representations
        not misleading (except for information and statements supplied by and
        relating solely to the Agent); 

	 
	 	 (b)      	 arising directly or indirectly out of
        any order made by any regulatory authority based upon an allegation that
        any such untrue statement or representation, or omission exists (except
        information and statements supplied by and relating solely to the Agent),
        that trading in or distribution of any of the Securities is to cease;
      

	 
	 	 (c)      	 resulting from the failure by the Issuer
        to obtain the requisite regulatory approval to the Private Placement unless
        the failure to obtain such approval is the result of a breach of this
        Agreement by the Agent; 

	 
	 	 (d)      	 resulting from the breach by the Issuer
        of any of the terms of this Agreement; 

	 
	 	 (e)      	 resulting from any representation or warranty
        made by the Issuer herein: 

	 
	 	 	 (i)      
	 not being true; or 

	 
	 	 	 (ii)     
      
	 ceasing to be true prior to any Closing from which
        any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise; 

	 
	 	 (f)      	 if the Issuer fails to issue and deliver
        the certificates representing the Securities in the form and denominations
        satisfactory to the Agent at the time and place required by the Agent
        with the result that any completion of a sale of the Securities does not
        take place; or 

	 
	 	 (g)      	 if, following the completion of a sale
        of any of the Securities, a determination is made by any competent authority
        setting aside the sale, unless that determination arises out of an act
        or omission by the Agent. 



 16.2             If
  any action or claim is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which
  indemnity may be sought from the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnified
  Party will promptly notify the Issuer in writing. 

 16.3             The
  Issuer will assume the defence of the action or claim, including the employment
  of counsel and the payment of all expenses. 





 16.4             The
  Indemnified Party will have the right to employ separate counsel, and the Issuer
  will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. 

 16.5             The
  indemnity provided for in this Section will not be limited or otherwise affected
  by any other indemnity obtained by the Indemnified Party from any other person
  in respect of any matters specified in this Agreement and will continue in full
  force and effect until all possible liability of the Indemnified Parties arising
  out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been extinguished
  by the operation of law. 

 16.6             
  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 Issuer and the Indemnified Parties will contribute
  to the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (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 Issuer,
  on the one hand, and the Indemnified Parties on the other hand, in connection
  with the matter giving rise to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
  expenses (or actions in respect thereof). No person found liable for a fraudulent
  misrepresentation (within the meaning of applicable securities laws) will be
  entitled to contribution from any person who is not found liable for such fraudulent
  misrepresentation. 

 16.7             To
  the extent that any Indemnified Party is not a party to this Agreement, the
  Agent will obtain and hold the right and benefit of this section in trust for
  and on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

  Issuer will notify the Agent of the terms of any further brokered equity financing

  Agent will have the right of first refusal to lead a syndicate of investment

 19.3             If
  the Agent fails to give notice within the 15 days that it will provide such
  financing upon the terms set out in the notice, the Issuer will then be free
  to make other arrangements to obtain financing from another source on the same
  terms or on terms no less favourable to the Issuer, subject to obtaining the
  acceptance of the Regulatory Authorities. 

 19.4             The
