    Contractor

    Should

      Contractor agrees that those amounts may be deducted from the amounts otherwise

      considered confidential and shall not be divulged by Contractor, its employees,

      of this Agreement for any reason.

              CONTRACTOR

    

     

    In
      the
      performance of this Agreement, Contractor warrants that it is an independent
      contractor and not an agent or employee of Company. Accordingly, the
      relationship of the Parties in respect of this Agreement shall not be construed
      to be that of principal and agent or master and servant. 

    

    All
      persons engaged by Contractor in the performance of this Agreement shall at
      all
      times during the period of this Agreement be personnel of Contractor and not
      of
      Company.

    

    Contractor
      shall comply with all reasonable directions and instructions, given by Company,
      provided however, Contractor shall have sole and complete control, supervision
      and direction over the operation of its property and personnel, except to the
      extent as may be otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the
      Parties.

     

    
      	21.0	FORCE
              MAJEURE

    

     

    A
      Force
      Majeure Event is defined as an event or circumstance that cannot reasonably
      be
      anticipated and is beyond the control of Company or Contractor. Each Party
      shall
      be excused from the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, from
      time to time and at any time, but only so long as the Party is prevented from
      such performance by a Force Majeure Event. A Force Majeure Event may be an
      act
      of God or public enemy, war, blockage, civil insurrection, earthquake, flood,
      fire, labor strike, compliance with any law, rule, order or regulation, which
      has not been declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, or
      any
      other cause beyond the reasonable control of such Party. Lack of funds or
      circumstances resulting from lack of adequate planning, which a Party should
      have reasonably been expected to perform, shall not be considered beyond the
      control of such Party.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    In
      the
      case of suspension of Services due to a Force Majeure Event, the Party affected
      by the Force Majeure Event shall, within fifteen (15) days from the beginning
      of
      any such Force Majeure Event, notify the other Party of such failure of
      performance and the cause thereof, and shall specify the anticipated period
      of
      delay before performance can be resumed. The Party affected by the Force Majeure
      Event shall take all reasonable measures to overcome any delay and mitigate
      any
      damages arising from such Force Majeure Event.

    

    Contractor
      agrees that it will not seek to claim additional compensation for expenses
      as a
      result of a Force Majeure Event. Each Party agrees that it shall bear its own
      financial consequences of any Force Majeure Event. However, Company may grant
      Contractor an extension, to the Term of this Agreement, if in its sole opinion,
      the Force Majeure Event may reasonably be considered to cause or have caused
      a
      delay to the timely achievement of the Services to be provided under this
      Agreement, or otherwise.

     

    
      	22.0	TERMINATION

    

     

    In
      the
      event that this Agreement is terminated under any of the provisions in this
      clause, Company shall not be liable to Contractor for any payment for any claim
      by Contractor, for loss of anticipated profits or damages or any reason
      whatsoever, except as expressly provided for herein. However, in accordance
      with
      other provisions of this Agreement, Contractor shall be compensated for Services
      performed up to the point of termination, regardless of the reason for
      termination.

              Agreement

    

     

    The
      obligation for Contractor to provide Services shall terminate upon the
      completion of the Term of this Agreement.

    

    The
      obligation for Company to compensate Contractor for Services shall terminate
      upon the complete and final payment for all Services provided by Contractor
      prior to the completion of the Term of this Agreement.

     

    
      	22.2	By Company - Without
              Cause

    

     

    Company
      shall, at any time, in its sole discretion, for its own convenience, have the
      right to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Contractor.
      Company shall have the option of providing written notice of such termination,
      which may not occur until thirty (30) days from the date of receipt by

      	·  	
              Abandonment
                of this Agreement and failure to comply with or recommence Services
                within
                fifteen (15) days of any reasonable instruction from Company requiring
                recommencement of Services, or

                legal
                proceeding for such should be commenced in any court having jurisdiction,
                or

            

      	·

      	22.4	Force Majeure
              Event

    

     

    If
      the
      occurrence of a Force Majeure Event causes, or may reasonably be anticipated
      to
      cause, suspension of the Services for a period longer than sixty (60) days,
      either Party may terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, at its
      discretion, by giving notice of such termination to the other Party. Should
      Company be the Party that issues the notice of termination under this clause,

    In
      the
      event of default by Company and Company failing to remedy such default within
      fifteen (15) days of receiving notice of such default from Contractor,

    Arbitration
      shall, preferably, be before one arbitrator (the “Sole Arbitrator”) mutually
      acceptable to the Parties. Otherwise, arbitration shall be before three
      arbitrators, in which case each Party shall each nominate one arbitrator within
      thirty (30) days of the Arbitration Notice. The two arbitrators, so nominated,
      shall in turn nominate a third arbitrator within ten (10) days of the nomination
      of the later of the two. In the event that they fail to agree on the third
      arbitrator within the ten (10) days, the third arbitrator shall be nominated,
      at
      the request of the most diligent Party, by the International Chamber of
      Commerce. The three arbitrators so nominated shall constitute the Board of
      Arbitration. The place of arbitration shall be either Edmonton or Calgary,

      majority of the arbitrators. The arbitration award of either the Sole Arbitrator
      or the Board of Arbitration shall be issued in writing not later than one
      hundred and twenty days (120) after the date of the Arbitration Notice. The
      arbitration award shall be final and binding on the Parties and shall indicate
      which Party shall bear the cost of the arbitration, or if both, the proportion
      each Party shall bear. The arbitration award shall be enforceable in any court
      of competent jurisdiction and the Parties agree not to contest or seek relief
      from the award in any court.

     

    
      	24.0	GRATUITIES

    Contractor
      agrees that any breach of the above clause is sufficient grounds for Company
      to
      terminate this Agreement without obligation to the Contractor. Such termination
      will not affect any other rights Company may have under this Agreement or
      otherwise.

     

    
      	25.0	CONFLICT OF
              INTEREST

    

     

    Contractor
      warrants that no director, officer, contractor or employee of Company, or any
      relative of those persons, has any beneficial interest in Contractor, or other
      companies directly associated with Contractor, either as an inducement to enter
      into this Agreement or for any commitment in the course of performance of this
      Agreement or as acknowledgement of any arrangement between Contractor and
      Company. Contractor further warrants that it shall not provide any beneficial
      interest in Contractor, or other companies directly associated with Contractor,
      either as an inducement to enter into this Agreement or for any commitment
      in
      the course of performance of this Agreement.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    Contractor
      agrees that any breach of this warranty is sufficient grounds for Company to
      terminate this Agreement without obligation to the Contractor. Such termination
      will not affect any other rights Company may have under this Agreement or
      otherwise.

     

    
      	26.0	COOPERATION

    

     

    Contractor

      developments.

     

    
      	28.0	CONTINUING
              OBLIGATION

    

     

    Notwithstanding
      the termination of this Agreement, the Parties shall continue to be bound by

    Headings
      provided in this Agreement are for the ease of reference and shall not be
      considered when interpreting the meaning of the text of this Agreement. Further,

    Failure
      of either Party to enforce any one of its rights under this Agreement shall
      not
      be deemed or construed to be a waiver on the part of such Party. Company and
      Contractor agree that none of the requirements of this Agreement shall be
      considered waived or amended by either Party, unless such waiver is prepared
      in
      writing and signed as accepted by both Company and Contractor.
