To the best of the Company’s knowledge, the Company and its Material Subsidiaries own, license, possess or have adequate and enforceable rights throughout Canada to all patents, patent licenses, trademarks, service marks and trade names necessary to carry on their business as presently conducted (except where the failure to own, license or possess such intellectual property rights would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect), and, except as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectuses, neither the Company nor any of its Material Subsidiaries has received any notice of infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any patents, patent licenses, trademarks, service marks or trade names, which would, singly or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect;

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates has taken, nor will any of them take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or that would reasonably be expected to, cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Securities in order to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities;

Tax Act (Canada) (a “Non-Resident Agent”), provided that such Non-Resident Agent deals at arm’s length with the Company, that any such fee is payable in respect of services rendered by or on behalf of such Non-Resident Agent wholly outside of Canada that are performed by such Non-Resident Agent in the ordinary course of business carried on by it that includes the performance of such services for a fee, and that any such amount is reasonable in the circumstances;

As of December 31, 2013, the Company and its subsidiaries maintained effective “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and in National Instrument 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings (“NI 52-109”)) that were designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company and its subsidiaries have prepared a report of management on the issuer’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) for the Company and its subsidiaries’ 2013 fiscal year and have concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, there (i) were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (ii) was no fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have significant role in the Company and its subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting;

The Company and its subsidiaries maintain an effective system of “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act and

in NI 52-109) that is designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the Company’s management during the periods in respect of which reports under the Exchange Act are being prepared.

The issuance and sale of the Securities by the Company, the execution and delivery by the Company of the Agency Agreement and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder will not violate those laws, rules and regulations of the United States of America and the State of New York (“Applicable Law”), in each case which in our experience are normally applicable to the transactions of the type contemplated by the Agency Agreement or any judgment, order or decree of any New York or federal court or governmental authority binding upon the Company listed on a schedule to this opinion. For purposes of this letter, the term “Applicable Law” does not include federal securities laws (except for purposes of the opinion expressed in paragraph 2 below) or state securities laws, other anti-fraud laws, or any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to the Company, the Securities, the Agency Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any party to the Agency Agreement or any of its affiliates due to the specific assets or business of such party or such affiliate.

No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Authority, which has not been obtained, taken or made is required by the Company under any Applicable Law or under any judgment, order or decree listed on a schedule to this opinion for the issuance and sale of the Securities by the Company, the execution and delivery by the Company of the Agency Agreement and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder. For purposes of this letter, the term “Governmental Authority” means any executive, legislative, judicial, administrative or regulatory body of the State of New York or the United States of America.

The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities, and the application of their proceeds as described in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus under the heading “Use of Proceeds,” will not be, required to be registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder.

The statements in the Disclosure Package and the U.S. Prospectus under the heading “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,” to the extent that they constitute summaries of United States federal law or regulation or legal conclusions, have been reviewed by us and fairly summarize the matters described under that heading in all material respects.

The Registration Statement, the Form F-X and the U.S. Prospectus, as of their respective effective or issue times, appear on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC under the U.S. Securities Act, except for the financial statements, financial statement schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference in or omitted from any of them, as to which we express no opinion. We have assumed, for purposes of this paragraph, the compliance of the Canadian Prospectus with the requirements of British

Columbia securities laws, as interpreted and applied by the British Columbia Securities Commission. We understand that such matters are covered in the opinion of Norton ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Canada LLP furnished to you today.
