Dear Sirs/Mesdames:

	Re: 	Acquisition by Greenlite Ventures Inc. (“Greenlite”) of
      Advantag AG (“Advantag”) 

This letter of intent confirms the terms upon which Greenlite
proposes to acquire Advantag. The purpose of this letter of intent is to set
forth basic terms and conditions of such a transaction, not to cover all of the
issues related to the transaction. Completion of Greenlite’s acquisition of
Advantag is subject to Greenlite completing due diligence of Advantag,
satisfaction of conditions set out below and the parties entering into a formal
binding agreement.

Except for those provisions of this letter of intent dealing
with non-disclosure, confidentiality of information and exclusive negotiating
rights, the provisions of this letter of intent shall not be read as creating
any binding obligations on Greenlite or Advantag.

      increase their capital and have received subscriptions from investors
      totaling EUR 157,200 as of December 31, 2011 (the “Subscribers”). There
      are no other classes of shares or other securities of Advantag outstanding

      acquire any unissued shares of Advantag;

      representing 100% of the issued and outstanding equity shares of

		(e) 	
      Advantag’s financial statements for the years ended
      December 31, 2010 and 2011 and for the two months ended February 29, 2012
      as delivered to Greenlite, present fairly the assets, liabilities (whether
      accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise) and the
  financial condition of Advantag as at the date thereof and there
      has been no material change in the assets and liabilities since that
  date;

1

		(f) 	
      Advantag is engaged in the business of marketing and
      trading carbon credits (the “Business”); and

      including the Green Market Exchange of the Bavarian Exchange in Munich,
      Climex in the Netherlands, the KBB Bratislava and the Carbon Trade
      Exchange in London/Melbourne.

	 	 	 
	2. 	
      Representations of Greenlite. Greenlite represents
      as follows:

	 	 	 
		(a) 	
      Greenlite is a company incorporated under the laws of
      Nevada and is in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
      incorporation;

	 	 	 
		(b) 	
      Greenlite is a reporting company under the United States
      Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) and is in good standing with
      respect to its filings under the Act;

	 	 	 
		(c) 	
      Greenlite’s authorized capital consists of 100,000,000

      the Act, except as may be disclosed in any Form 8- K filed under the
      Act.

	 	 	 
	3. 	
      Purchase of Advantag. It is our intention that
      Greenlite will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of
      Advantag (the “Acquisition”). The consideration for the acquisition shall

      Advantag shareholders shall be held in escrow to be released on the basis
      of one share for each EUR 2 of carbon credit sales calculated based on the
      formula presently used on the financial statements of Advantag releases to
      be made annually at fiscal year end. Any shares not released in five years
      shall be returned to the treasury of Greenlite for cancellation. The
      shareholders of Advantag will be entitled to vote the shares while in
      escrow.

	 	 	 
	4. 	
      Directors. At Closing, a majority of directors of
      Greenlite will resign and will be replaced by persons nominated by
      Advantag.

	 	 	 
	5. 	
      Conditions. The obligations of the parties to
      complete the Acquisition shall be subject to customary conditions
      including:

      accurate at closing as if they were made immediately prior to
    closing;

      closing such financial statements as are required by Article 8.01 of

      order to permit Greenlite to make the United States Securities and
      Exchange Commission filings required in respect of the Acquisition;
    and

2

		
      (c) 
	
      Advantag shall have provided to Greenlite such
      information as is necessary to satisfy Greenlite and its counsel that the
      Acquisition may be completed in reliance of exemptions from applicable
      federal and state or foreign securities laws;

	 	 	 
		(d)	
      Greenlite will have cash available for investment in
      Advantag’s business not less than USD$500,000 and no significant
      liabilities; and

	 	 	 
		(e)	
      The Subscribers for shares in Advantag will have agreed
      to accept shares of Greenlite on the basis set out in paragraph
  3.

	 	 	 
	6. 	
      Formal Agreement. The parties shall take such
      steps as may be necessary and use their best efforts to prepare and
      execute a formal agreement as soon as possible, but in any event not later
      than April 10, 2012. During this period, the parties will cooperate with
      each other and provide such documentation or information as may be

      Full Disclosure. Advantag shall disclose to
      Greenlite any and all material adverse conditions or potential adverse
      conditions currently known about that could affect the business in a
      negative matter.

	 	 	 
	8. 	
      Exclusivity. In consideration of the undertaking
      by Greenlite of the costs and expenses in conducting due diligence and
      continuing negotiations, Advantag agrees that, during the term of this
      letter of intent, it will not seek or solicit, or engage anyone to seek or

      will maintain confidentiality about the transaction contemplated by this
      letter of intent, except to the extent the disclosure is required by

AGENCY AGREEMENT

	January 17, 2011 
	  
	American Bonanza Gold Corp. 
	675 West Hastings Street, Suite 305 
	Vancouver, British Columbia 
	V6B 1N2 

	Attention: 	Brian Kirwin, Chief Executive Officer
  

Dear Sir:

In furtherance of a letter agreement dated December 2, 2010
(the “Letter Agreement”) between American Bonanza Gold Corp. (the
“Corporation”) and Wellington West Capital Markets Inc. (“WWCM” or
the “Agent”) in connection with a proposed private placement by the
Corporation, upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Agent agrees to offer for sale, as agent of the Corporation, on a best efforts
basis through a fully marketed public offering, if, as and when issued by the
Corporation up to 44,000,000 units of the Corporation (the “Units”) at a
price of $0.35 per Unit (the ”Offering Price”) for aggregate gross
proceeds of up to $15,400,000 (the “Offering”).

Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of the
Corporation (each a “Unit Share”) and one-half of one purchase warrant
(each whole warrant a “Warrant” and together with the Unit Shares and the
Warrants, the “Underlying Securities”). Each Warrant will entitle the
holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Corporation (each a
“Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.45 at any time until 5:00 p.m.
(Vancouver time) on the date which is 18 months after the Closing Date.

The Agent understands that the Corporation has prepared and
filed a preliminary short form prospectus and all necessary documents relating
thereto and will take all additional steps to qualify the Securities (as defined
below) for distribution in the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta,
Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick (collectively, the
“Qualifying Jurisdictions”) and to permit the sale of the Securities on a
private placement basis, to purchasers in the United States or to persons who
are U.S. Persons (as defined below) that are Accredited Investors (as defined
below) in accordance with the terms of Schedule “A” hereto.

In addition, the Corporation hereby grants an option (the
“Over-Allotment Option”) to the Agent entitling the Agent to offer for
sale on and subject to the terms contained herein, up to an additional 6,000,000
common shares of the Corporation (the “Optioned Shares”) at a price of
$0.345 per Optioned Share and/or up to an additional 3,000,000 warrants of the
Corporation having the same terms as the Warrants (the “Optioned
Warrants” and together with the Optioned Shares, the "Optioned
Securities") at a price of $0.01 per Optioned Warrant, in any combination of
the foregoing. The Over-Allotment Option is exercisable in whole or in part at
any time, and from time to time, for a period of 30 days after and including the
Closing Date (as defined below). If WWCM elects to exercise the Over-Allotment
Option, WWCM shall notify the Corporation of its election in writing, not later
than 48 hours prior to the proposed Option Closing Date (as defined below) which
notice shall specify the number of Optioned Shares and/or Option Warrants to be
issued and sold and the date (the “Option Closing Date”) on which such
Optioned Shares and/or Option warrants are to be so issued and sold. Such Option
Closing Date may be the same as the Closing Date but not later than 30 days
following the Closing Date. The Over-Allotment Option may be exercised solely
for the purpose of covering the over-allocation position (as such concept is
defined in NI 41-101 (as defined below)) of the Agent created in connection with
the offering of the Offered Shares and for market stabilization purposes.

- 2 -

The Agent intends to make a public offering of the Securities
(as defined below) in the Qualifying Jurisdictions upon the terms set forth
herein and in the Prospectus (as defined below). The Corporation acknowledges
and agrees that the Agent may offer and sell the Securities to or through any
affiliate of the Agent and that any such affiliate may offer and sell the
Securities purchased by it to or through the Agent. The Agent also proposes to
distribute the Securities, on a private placement basis, in the United States
and other offshore jurisdictions, all in the manner contemplated by this
Agreement, including the schedules hereto. 

The Agent, through its respective U.S. broker-dealer
affiliates, shall have the exclusive right to offer for sale and sell the
Securities in the United States pursuant to exemptions under the U.S. Securities
Act (as defined below) to Accredited Investors in accordance with the terms
hereof.

The Agent shall be entitled to appoint a soliciting dealer
group consisting of other registered dealers acceptable to the Corporation for
the purposes of arranging for purchasers of the Securities.

In consideration of the services to be rendered by the Agent in
connection with the Offering, including the agreement of the Agent to: (a) act
as the agent of the Corporation and to offer the Securities (as defined below)
for sale to the public in the Qualifying Jurisdictions pursuant to the
Prospectus; or (b) act as placement agent for the Securities in the United
States and other offshore jurisdictions, the Corporation shall pay to the Agent
at Closing (as defined below) a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross
proceeds realized by the Corporation in respect of the sale of the Securities
(including, for greater certainty, any Optioned Shares issued and sold by the
Corporation on the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option) (the
“Commission”). The obligation of the Corporation to pay the Commission
shall arise at the Closing Time and, if applicable, the Option Closing Time
(each as defined below) against payment for the Securities, and the Commission
shall be fully earned by the Agent at such time. As additional consideration,
the Agent will be issued non-assignable broker warrants (the “Broker
Warrants”) exercisable to acquire that number of common shares of the
Corporation (the “Broker Shares”) as is equal to 6.0% of the aggregate
number of Units issued pursuant to the Offering and Optioned Shares issued upon
the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. Each Broker Warrant shall entitle the
holder thereof to purchase one Broker Share at a price equal to $0.38 per Broker
Share, at any time until 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the date which is 18
months after the Closing Date. For greater certainty, no Commission shall be
payable, and no Broker Warrants shall be issuable in respect of Units issued to
U.S. President’s List Purchasers.

      requirements on a timely basis in connection with the distribution of the

      of the Agent by law), including by filing within the periods stipulated
      under Securities Laws and at the Corporation's expense, all forms required
      to be filed by the Corporation in connection with the Offering and paying
      all filing fees required to be paid by the Corporation in connection
      therewith. The Agent agrees to assist the Corporation in all reasonable
      respects to secure compliance with all regulatory requirements in
      connection with the Offering.

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      The Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts
      to fulfill all legal requirements to enable the distribution of the
      Securities and to file the Final Prospectus in each of the Qualifying
      Jurisdictions and obtain, pursuant to the Passport System, a receipt for
      the Final Prospectus and other related documents in respect of the
      proposed distribution of the Securities on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto

      may agree.

2.               
Due Diligence. Prior to the filing of the Final Prospectus, Documents
Incorporated by Reference and any Supplemental Materials, the Corporation shall
permit the Agent to review each of the Final Prospectus, any Documents
Incorporated by Reference and any Supplementary Materials and shall allow the
Agent to continue to conduct any due diligence investigations which any of them
reasonably requires in order to fulfill its obligations as an Agent under Securities Laws of the Qualifying Jurisdictions and
in order to enable it to responsibly execute the certificate in the Final
Prospectus required to be executed by it. The Corporation shall provide the
Agent with full and free access to, and on request of the Agent (acting
reasonably), copies of all materials and documents used or created in connection
with the due diligence investigations or the Offering, and must maintain those
materials and documents for at least seven years from the Closing Date for that
purpose. Furthermore, the Corporation must, at all reasonable times before the
Closing Date or during, or in relation to, any threatened or pending inquiry,
investigation or action, claim or proceeding arising in connection with the
matters contemplated herein to which the Agent is a party or participant,
provide reasonable and free access to the premises, books and records of the
Corporation and the Subsidiary to enable each such person(s) to obtain any

3.               
Distribution and Certain Obligations of the Agent.

	 	(a) 	
      The Agent shall, and shall require any investment dealer
      or broker (other than the Agent) with which the Agent has a contractual
      relationship in respect of the distribution of the Securities, including
      any affiliate (each, a “Selling Firm”), to agree to comply with
      Securities Laws in connection with the distribution of the Securities and
      shall offer the Securities for sale, on a best efforts basis, to the
      public directly and through duly registered Selling Firms upon the terms
      and conditions set out in the Final Prospectus and this Agreement. The
      Agent shall, and shall require any Selling Firm to, offer for sale to the
      public and sell the Securities only in those jurisdictions where they may
      be lawfully offered for sale or sold. The Agent shall not make use of any
      confidential information memorandum or other marketing materials (other
      than term sheets) in respect of the solicitation of offers to purchase and
      the sale of the Securities without the prior approval of the Corporation.
      The Corporation will have the sole right to accept offers to purchase
      Securities. The Corporation may, in its absolute discretion, reject any
      proposed purchase of Securities from the Corporation in whole or in part
      and the Agent may, in its discretion, exercised reasonably, reject any
      offer to purchase Securities received by it. The Agent shall: (i) use all
      reasonable efforts to complete and cause each Selling Firm to complete the
      distribution of the Securities as soon as reasonably practicable; (ii)
      promptly notify the Corporation when, in their opinion, the Agent and the
      Selling Firms have ceased distribution of the Securities; and (iii) in
      sufficient time to allow the Corporation to comply with Securities Laws,
      provide a breakdown of the number of Securities distributed in each of the
      Qualifying Jurisdictions where such breakdown is required for the purpose
      of calculating fees payable to the Securities Regulators.

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      The Agent shall, and shall require any Selling Firm to
      agree to, distribute the Securities in a manner which complies with and
      observes all applicable laws and regulations, including the
Securities Laws in each jurisdiction into and from which they may offer to sell
the Securities or distribute the Prospectus or any Supplementary Material in
connection with the distribution of the Securities and will not, directly or
indirectly, offer, sell or deliver any Securities or deliver the Prospectus or
any Supplementary Material to any person in any jurisdiction other than in the
Qualifying Jurisdictions except in a manner which will not require the
Corporation to comply with the registration, prospectus, offering memorandum,
filing, continuous disclosure or other similar requirements under the applicable
Securities Laws of such other jurisdictions or pay any additional governmental
filing fees which relate to such other jurisdictions. Subject to the foregoing,
the Agent and any Selling Firm shall be entitled to offer and sell the
Securities:

- 10 -

	 	(i) 	
      in the United States, solely pursuant to an applicable
      exemption or exemptions from the registration requirements of the U.S.
      Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Any offer or sale of
      the Securities in the United States will be made in accordance with
      Schedule “A” which forms part of this Agreement; and

	 	 	 
	 	(ii) 	
      in such other jurisdictions in accordance with any
      applicable securities and other laws in such jurisdictions in which the
      Agent and/or Selling Firms offer the Securities provided that the
      Corporation is not required to file a prospectus, registration statement,
      offering memorandum or other disclosure document or become subject to
      continuing obligations in such other
jurisdictions,

	 		
      in each case in accordance with the provisions of this
      Agreement.

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      For the purposes of this paragraph 3, the Agent shall be
      entitled to assume that the Securities are qualified for distribution in
      any Qualifying Jurisdiction where a receipt or similar document for the
      Final Prospectus shall have been obtained from the applicable Securities
      Regulators (including a decision document for the Final Prospectus issued
      under the Passport System) following the filing of the Final Prospectus
      unless otherwise notified in writing.

	 	 	 
	 	(d) 	
      The Corporation and the Agent agree that Schedule “A” to
      this Agreement is incorporated by reference in and shall form part of this
      Agreement.

      warranty of the Corporation to the Agent that, as at their respective
      dates of filing:

	 	 	 	 
	 		(i) 	
      all information and statements (except information and
      statements relating solely to the Agent and provided by the Agent)
      contained in the Prospectus or any Supplementary Material, as the case may
      be, are true and correct, in all material respects, and contain no
      misrepresentation and constitute full, true and plain disclosure of all

- 12 -

	 	(ii) 	
      no material fact or information has been omitted
      therefrom (except facts or information relating solely to the Agent and

      or is necessary to make the statements or information contained in such
      disclosure not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they
      were made; and

	 	 	 
	 	(iii) 	
      except with respect to any information relating solely to
      the Agent and provided by the Agent, such documents comply in all material

the Qualifying Jurisdictions in compliance with this Agreement and Securities
Laws unless otherwise advised in writing.

      has been issued pursuant to the Passport System for the Final Prospectus
      or Supplementary Material, as the case may be (or such other date or time
      as the Agent and the Corporation may agree). Such delivery shall be
      effected as soon as possible and, in any event, on or before a date which
      is two Business Days following the date of the issuance of a receipt for
      the Final Prospectus, or after the filing of any Supplementary Material in

      Documents”) or whether any event or state of facts has occurred after
      the date hereof, which, in any case, is, or may be, of such a nature as to
      render any of the Offering Documents untrue or misleading in any material
      respect or to result in any misrepresentation in any of the Offering
      Documents, or which would result in the Final Prospectus or any
      Supplementary Material not complying (to the extent that such compliance
      is required) with the Securities Laws of any Qualifying Jurisdiction;
      and

	 	 	 	 
	 		(iv)

  Jurisdictions.

	 	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      In addition to the provisions of subparagraphs 5(a) and

      shall consult with the Agent with respect to the form and content of any
      amendment or other Supplementary Material proposed to be filed by the

      other Supplementary Material shall be filed with any Securities Regulator

      reasonably.

      If during the period of distribution of the Securities
      there shall be any change in Securities Laws which, in the opinion of the

      the satisfaction of the Agent, acting reasonably, promptly prepare and
      file any such Supplementary Material with the appropriate Securities
      Regulators where such filing is required.

- 37 -

All Terms to be Conditions. The Corporation agrees that the
conditions contained in paragraph 10 will be complied with insofar as the same
relate to acts to be performed or caused to be performed by the Corporation and
that it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such
conditions to be complied with. Any breach or failure to comply with any of the
conditions set out in paragraph 10 (except subparagraph 10(i)) shall entitle the
Agent to terminate its obligation to complete the Offering, by written notice to
that effect given to the Corporation at or prior to the Closing Time. It is
understood that the Agent may waive, in whole or in part, or extend the time for
compliance with, any of such terms and conditions without prejudice to the
rights of the Agent in respect of any such terms and conditions or any other or
subsequent breach or non-compliance, provided that to be binding on the Agent
any such waiver or extension must be in writing and signed by the Agent.

14.               
Termination Events. The Agent shall be entitled, at its sole option, to
terminate and cancel, without any liability on the part of the Agent, all of the
obligations thereof under this Agreement by notice in writing to that effect
delivered to the Corporation prior to or at the Closing Time if:

	 	(a) 	
      the Agent is not satisfied in its sole discretion, acting
      reasonably, with its due diligence review and investigations of the
      Corporation;

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      there is, in the opinion of the Agent, acting reasonably,
      a material change or a change in any material fact or a new material fact
      shall arise which would be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on
      the Corporation or on the market price or the value of the securities of
      the Corporation;

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      the state of the financial markets, whether national or
      international, is such that in the sole opinion of the Agent, acting
      reasonably, it would be impractical or unprofitable to offer or continue
      to offer the Securities for sale;

	 	 	 
	 	(d) 	
      there should develop, occur or come into effect any event
      of any nature, including without limitation, accident, act of terrorism,
      public protest, governmental law or regulation which in the sole opinion
      of the Agent, acting reasonably, adversely affects or may adversely affect
      the financial markets or the business, affairs, prospects or financial
      condition of the Corporation or its material properties or the market
      price or value of the Common Shares or the marketability of the
      Securities;

- 38 -

	 	(e) 	
      there is an enquiry or investigation (whether formal or
      informal) by any securities regulatory authority in relation to the
      Corporation or any one of their officers or directors, or any of its
      principal shareholders that, in the sole opinion of the Agent, acting
      reasonably, the commencement thereof materially adversely affects the
      trading of the Common Shares or distribution of the Securities or may have
      an impact on the market price or value of the Common Shares or the
      Securities;

	 	 	 
	 	(f) 	
      the Corporation is in breach of a material term of this
      Agreement, or any representation or warranty given by the Corporation in
      this Agreement becomes or is false in a material respect;

	 	 	 
	 	(g) 	
      the Agent becomes aware of, as a result of its due
      diligence review or otherwise, of any material adverse change, or an
      adverse change in any material fact, with respect to the Corporation (in
      the sole opinion of WWCM, acting reasonably) which has not been disclosed
      to WWCM prior to the date hereof; or

	 	 	 
	 	(h) 	
      both the Agent and the Corporation agree in writing to
      terminate this Agreement.

                 
    Upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing events, the
Agent shall be entitled to terminate and cancel its obligations to the
Corporation hereunder by written notice to that effect given to the Corporation
and WWCM prior to the Closing.

15.               
Survival of Representations and Warranties. All terms,
warranties, representations, covenants and agreements herein contained or
contained in any documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement and in
connection with the transactions herein contemplated shall survive the purchase
and sale of the Securities and will continue in full force and effect for the
benefit of the Agent and/or the Corporation, as the case may be, regardless of
any subsequent disposition of the Securities or any investigation by or on
behalf of the Agent with respect thereto for a period ending on the later of:
(a) the date that is two years following the Closing Date, and (b) the latest
date under applicable Securities Laws (non-residents of Canada being deemed to
be resident in the Province of British Columbia for such purposes) that an
action may be commenced or a right of rescission may be exercised with respect
to a misrepresentation contained in the Final Prospectus or, if applicable, any
Supplementary Material. The Agent will be entitled to rely on the
representations and warranties of the Corporation contained in this Agreement or
delivered pursuant to this Agreement notwithstanding any investigation, which
the Agent may undertake or which may be undertaken on the Agent’s behalf.

16.               
Indemnity.

	 	(a) 	
      The Corporation shall indemnify and save harmless the
      Agent, its affiliates and its directors, partners, officers and employees
      (the “Agent’s Personnel”), against all losses, claims, damages,
      liabilities, costs or expenses (other than loss
of profits) (other than with respect to
claims by the Corporation), whether joint or several, caused or incurred by
reason of or in connection with the Offering including, without limitation, the
following: 

- 39 -

	 	(i) 	
      any information or statement (except any information or
      statement relating solely to the Agent provided by the Agent) contained in
      the Offering Documents, which at the time and in light of the
      circumstances under which it was made contains or is alleged to contain a
      misrepresentation or any omission or any alleged omission to state therein
      any fact or information (except facts or information relating solely to
      the Agent provided by the Agent) required to be stated therein or
      necessary to make any of the statements therein not misleading in light of
      the circumstances in which they are made;

	 	 	 
	 	(ii) 	
      any order made or any inquiry, investigation or
      proceeding commenced or threatened by any securities regulatory authority,
      stock exchange or by any other competent authority, based upon any
      misrepresentation (as defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) or
      alleged misrepresentation (except a misrepresentation relating solely to
      the Agent contained in information provided by the Agent) in the Offering
      Documents (except any document or material delivered or filed solely by
      the Agent) based upon any failure or alleged failure to comply with
      Securities Laws preventing and restricting the trading in or the sale of
      the Securities in the Qualifying Jurisdictions;

	 	 	 
	 	(iii) 	
      the non-compliance or alleged non-compliance by the
      Corporation with any requirement of applicable Securities Laws, including
      the Corporation’s non-compliance with any statutory requirement to make
      any document available for inspection; or

	 	 	 
	 	(iv) 	
      a material breach of any representation, warranty,
      undertaking or covenant of the Corporation contained in this Agreement or
      the failure of the Corporation to comply in all material respects with any
      of its obligations hereunder;

	 		
      and will reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for any
      legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
      investigating or defending any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities
      or actions in respect thereof, as incurred, including, without limitation,
      expenses in connection with any regulatory procedures or
      investigations.

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      The Corporation shall not, without the prior written
      consent of the Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle or
      compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or
      threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which
      indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not
  the Agent or the Agent’s Personnel are a party to such claim,
      action, suit or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent
      includes an unconditional release of the Agent and the Indemnified Parties
      from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding
      (with no statement of any liability on the part of the Agent or any
      Indemnified Party, as defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an
      Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the settlement of any claim or
      action in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder effected
      without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
      withheld.

- 40 -

	 	(c) 	
      Notification of Claims. If any matter or thing
      contemplated by subparagraph 16(a) (any such matter or thing being
      referred to as a “Claim”) is asserted against any party in respect
      of which indemnification is or might reasonably be considered to be
      provided (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party will
      notify the Corporation in writing as soon as possible after becoming aware
      of the nature of such Claim (but the omission or delay so to notify the
      Corporation of any potential Claim shall not relieve the Corporation from
      any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Party and any omission
      or delay so to notify the Corporation of any actual Claim shall affect the
      Corporation’s liability only to the extent that it is prejudiced by that
      omission or delay) and the Corporation shall be entitled (but not
      required) to participate in and, to the extent that it shall wish, to
      assume the defence of any suit brought to enforce such Claim; provided,
      however, that the defence shall be conducted through legal counsel
      acceptable to the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably, and that no
      settlement of any such Claim may be made by the Corporation or the
      Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the other party,
      such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and the
      Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Claim
      unless it has consented in writing to such settlement.

	 	 	 
	 	(d) 	
      Right of Indemnity in Favour of Others. With
      respect to any Indemnified Party who is not a party to this Agreement, the
      Agent shall obtain and hold the rights and benefits of this paragraph 16
      and paragraph 17 in trust for and on behalf of such Indemnified
    Party.

	 	 	 
	 	(e) 	
      Retaining Counsel. In any such Claim, the
      Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain other counsel to act on
      his or its behalf and to participate in the defence thereof, provided that
      the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be paid by the
      Indemnified Party unless: (i) the Corporation and the Indemnified Party
      shall have mutually agreed to the retention of the other counsel; (ii) the
      Corporation fails to assume the defence of such Claim on behalf of the
      Indemnified Party within a reasonable time of receiving written notice to
      assume the defence of such Claim; or (iii) the named parties to any such
      Claim (including any added third party) include both the Indemnified Party
      and the Corporation and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by
      counsel that representation of the Indemnified Party by counsel for the Corporation
      is inappropriate as a result of potential or actual differing interests of
      those represented; in each of which cases the Corporation shall not have
      the right to assume the defence of such Claim on behalf of the Indemnified
      Party but the Corporation shall be liable to pay the reasonable fees and
      disbursements of counsel to the Indemnified Party.

- 41 -

	 	(f) 	
      Applicability. The foregoing indemnity shall not
      apply to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final
      judgment that has become non-appealable shall determine that such losses,
      expenses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Indemnified Party
      may be subject were caused by the fraud, dishonesty, negligence or wilful
      misconduct of the Indemnified Party or breach of applicable law by the
      Indemnified Party.

	17. 	(a) 	
      Contribution. In order to provide for a just and
      equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity provided in
      paragraph 16 would otherwise be available in accordance with its terms but
      is, for any reason, held to be unavailable to or unenforceable by the
      Agent or enforceable otherwise than in accordance with its terms, the
      Corporation and the Agent shall contribute to the aggregate of all claims,
      expenses, costs and liabilities (including any legal expenses reasonably
      incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any Claim which is
      the subject of this paragraph) and all losses (other than loss of profits)
      of a nature contemplated in paragraph 16 in such proportions so that the
      Agent is responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that
      the aggregate fee payable by the Corporation to the Agent bears to the
      gross proceeds of the Offering of the Securities and the Corporation is
      responsible for the balance. The Agent shall not in any event be liable to
      contribute, in the aggregate, any amounts in excess of such aggregate fee
      or any portion of such fee actually received. However, no party who has
      engaged in any fraud, wilful misconduct or negligence shall be entitled to
      claim contribution from any Person who has not engaged in such fraud,
      wilful misconduct or negligence. The Corporation hereby waives all rights
      which it may have by statute or common law to recover contribution from
      the Agent in respect of losses, claims, costs, damages, expenses or
      liabilities which any of them may suffer or incur directly or indirectly
      (in this paragraph, “losses”) by reason of or in consequence of a document
      containing a misrepresentation; provided, however, that such waiver shall
      not apply in respect of losses by reason of or in consequence of any
      misrepresentation which is based upon or results from information or
      statements furnished by and relating solely to the Agent. 

	  	  	
       

		(b) 	
      Right of Contribution in Addition to Other Rights.
      The rights to contribution provided in this paragraph 17 shall be in
      addition to and not in derogation of any other right to contribution which
      the Agent may have by statute or otherwise at law.

- 42 -

	 	(c) 	
      Calculation of Contribution. In the event that the
      Corporation may be held to be entitled to contribution from the Agent
      under the provisions of any statute or at law, the Corporation shall be
      limited to contribution in an amount not exceeding the lesser
of:

	 	 	 	 
	 		(i) 	
      the portion of the full amount of the loss or liability
      giving rise to such contribution for which the Agent is responsible, as
      determined in subparagraphs 17(a) or (b) above, as the case may be;
    and

	 	 	 	 
	 		(ii) 	
      the amount of the aggregate fee actually received by the
      Agent from the Corporation under this Agreement,

	 	 	 	 
	 		(iii) 	
      and the Agent shall in no event be liable to contribute
      any amount in excess of such Agent’s portion of the agency fee actually
      received from the Corporation under this Agreement.

	 	 	 	 
	 	(d) 	
      Notice. If the Agent has reason to believe that a
      Claim for contribution may arise, it shall give the Corporation notice of
      such Claim in writing, as soon as reasonably possible, but failure to
      notify the Corporation shall not relieve the Corporation of any obligation
      which it may have to the Agent under this
paragraph.

18.               
Expenses.

	 	(a) 	
      Expenses and Fees: The Corporation shall pay all
      reasonable and documented expenses and fees in connection with the
      offering of Securities contemplated by this Agreement, including, without
      limitation, all expenses of or incidental to the issue, sale or
      distribution of the Securities and all expenses of or incidental to all
      other matters in connection with the transaction set out in this
      Agreement, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses payable in
      connection with the distribution of the Securities, the fees and expenses
      of the Corporation’s counsel and of local counsel to the Corporation, the
      reasonable fees and expenses of the auditors and the transfer agent for
      the Common Shares, all costs incurred in connection with the preparation
      and printing of the Offering Documents and certificates representing the
      Securities, all costs incurred related to road shows and marketing
      activities, filing fees and all reasonable expenses and fees incurred by
      the Agent and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the
      Agent, whether or not the Offering is completed.

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      Taxes: In connection with any amount payable by
      the Corporation as directed or charged by the Agent under this paragraph
      17 that is payable in satisfaction of applicable federal Goods and
      Services Tax, Provincial Sales tax and/or or Harmonized Sales Tax
      (collectively, “Tax”), the Agent shall provide the Corporation with
      a breakdown of the Tax payable to enable the Corporation
  to claim a credit or reimbursement for such Tax from applicable
government authorities, if applicable. 

- 43 -

19.               
Advertisements. The Corporation acknowledges that the Agent shall have
the right, subject always to this Agreement and Schedule “A”, at their own
expense, subject to the prior consent of the Corporation, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, to place such advertisement or advertisements relating to
the sale of the Securities contemplated herein as the Agent may consider
desirable or appropriate and as may be permitted by applicable law. The
Corporation and the Agent agrees that it will not make or publish any
advertisement in any media whatsoever relating to, or otherwise publicize, the
transaction provided for herein so as to result in any exemption from the
prospectus and registration or other similar requirements under applicable
securities legislation in any of the provinces of Canada or any other
jurisdiction in which the Securities shall be offered and sold being unavailable
in respect of the sale of the Securities to prospective purchasers. 

20.               
U.S. Offers. The Agent makes the representations, warranties and
covenants applicable to them in Schedule “A” hereto and agree, on behalf of
themselves and their United States registered broker-dealer affiliates, for the
benefit of the Corporation, to comply with the U.S. selling restrictions imposed
by the laws of the United States and set forth in Schedule “A” hereto, which
forms part of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
section, the Agent will not be liable to the Corporation under this section or
Schedule “A” with respect to a violation by another Agent of the provisions of
this section or Schedule “A” if the former Agent is not itself also in
violation; and the Corporation makes the representations, warranties and
covenants applicable to it in Schedule “A” hereto.
