THE FACILITY

2.1     Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lenders hereby severally establish in favour of the Borrower a non-revolving, staged-advance, reducing term credit facility (the "Facility") in an amount equal to the Commitment, which shall be made available to the Borrower, or as the Borrower may direct, by way of a single Drawdown for the Initial Advance, a single Drawdown for the Second Advance, and a single Drawdown for the Third Advance, in each case, in accordance with this Agreement.

- 23 -

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lenders severally agree to extend credit to the Borrower under the Facility from time to time, provided that:

All credit requested under the Facility shall be made available to the Borrower contemporaneously by all of the Lenders thereunder. Each Lender shall provide to the Borrower its Pro Rata Share of each credit. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to provide its Pro Rata Share of any credit under the Facility nor shall the Individual Commitment of any Lender be increased as a result of any such default of another Lender in extending credit under the Facility. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Borrower its Pro Rata Share of any credit under the Facility shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Borrower its Pro Rata Share of such credit under the Facility.

2.2     The Facility is a non-revolving facility, and any repayment under the Facility shall not be re-borrowed.

2.3     The Borrower shall provide a Notice of Borrowing to the Agent in respect of each Drawdown no later than 2:00 p.m. (Toronto Time) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Drawdown Date. Such Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable.

2.4     The outstanding principal amount of the Facility, together with all accrued but unpaid interest, standby fees, bonus and other costs, fees or charges payable hereunder from time to time, will be immediately due and payable by the Borrower to the respective Lenders on the Stated Maturity Date.

2.5     Except with the prior written consent of the Agent (in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders), the Borrower shall only be entitled to use the proceeds of the Facility exclusively for (a) the development, operation and maintenance of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Facility, the Palangana Mine and the Goliad Mine, and (b) working capital purposes of the Borrower and STMV. For greater certainty, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the proceeds of the Facility may not be used in connection with any exploration project other than the Palangana Mine and the Goliad Mine.

2.6

(a)     Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of each Advance from the date of advance to the Borrower, as well as on all overdue amounts outstanding in respect of interest, costs or other fees or expenses payable hereunder, at the rate of eight percent (8.00%) per annum, calculated daily and compounded monthly (effective annual rate of 8.30%), and shall be payable by the Borrower to the respective Lenders monthly on the first Business Day of every month, before as well as after each of maturity, default and judgment.

(b)     The Borrower shall pay the respective Lenders a standby fee on the daily unadvanced portion of the Facility at the rate of four percent (4.00%) per annum, calculated daily (beginning on the date of this Agreement) and payable monthly on the first Business Day of every month.

2.7     The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. Unless otherwise stated, wherever in this Agreement reference is made to a rate of interest (or standby fee) "per annum" or a similar expression is used, such interest (or standby fee) shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which any such interest (or standby fee) is payable. For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360.

2.8     All payments required to be made by the Borrower or any other Credit Party pursuant to the provisions hereof or any other Facility Document shall be made in immediately available funds and without any set-off, deduction, withholding or counter-claim or cross-claim.

(ii)     if the Borrower fails to satisfy the applicable conditions precedent and draw the Initial Advance substantially as contemplated herein in circumstances where the Lenders are prepared to complete the initial closing and make the Initial Advance substantially in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, then, within seven days of the earlier of (x) the date on which the Borrower has made a determination not to proceed with the initial closing and Drawdown, and (y) the Initial Advance Closing Date, the Borrower shall create and issue to the respective Lenders (or as the Lenders may direct), in their respective Pro Rata Shares, as an additional structuring fee, a total of 1,300,000 transferable warrants (the "Substituted Warrants") of the Borrower (instead of the Bonus Warrants) which otherwise have all the same terms and conditions as the Bonus Warrants, and in such a case all the requirements of this Agreement regarding the Bonus Warrants and the Bonus Warrant Shares shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the warrants contemplated by this clause (ii) and the shares to be issued upon the exercise thereof (the "Substituted Warrant Shares") and the Borrower shall comply with all such requirements even though the Initial Advance does not occur.

(b)     The Structuring Fee has been fully earned and is non-refundable, provided only that if all of the conditions precedent to the Initial Advance as contemplated in Section 5.1 are satisfied and the Lenders fail to make the Initial Advance, the Structuring Fee shall be refunded to the Borrower and the obligations of the Finance Parties hereunder shall be terminated.

2.12     All Amounts Payable hereunder shall be made payable in lawful money of the United States. If the date for payment of any Amount Payable is not a Business Day in both Corpus Christi, Texas and the place of payment, then such payment shall be made on the next day which is a Business Day in both such places.

2.13     Upon completion of the Borrower's deliveries set forth in Section 5.1, the Lenders (severally) shall deposit the funds for the Initial Advance with Stikeman Elliott LLP, in trust, to be held by such firm in trust pending the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the Initial Advance and receipt of instructions from the Agent to release such Advance funds to the Borrower or as the Borrower may direct.

2.14     Except as contemplated in Section 2.13, each Lender shall make available to the Agent its Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of each Advance under the Facility prior to 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the date of such Advance. The Agent shall, upon fulfilment by the Borrower of the relevant terms and conditions set forth in Article 5 and unless otherwise irrevocably authorized and directed in the Notice of Borrowing, make such funds available to the Borrower on the date of the extension of credit by crediting the account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower to the Agent from time to time in writing. Unless the Agent has been notified by a Lender at least one Business Day prior to the date of the extension of credit that such Lender will not make available to the Agent its Pro Rata Share of such Advance, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion of the Advance available to the Agent on the date of the extension of credit in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Agent has made such assumption, to the extent such Lender shall not have so made its Pro Rata Share of the Advance available to the Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Agent, forthwith on demand, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Advance and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection therewith together with interest thereon at the rate applicable to the Facility, calculated in accordance with Section 2.6(a) for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is paid or repaid to the Agent; provided, however, that notwithstanding such obligation, if such Lender fails so to pay, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any rights that the Borrower might have against such Lender, repay such amount to the Agent forthwith after demand therefor by the Agent. The amount payable by each Lender to the Agent pursuant hereto shall be set forth in a certificate delivered by the Agent to such Lender and the Borrower (which certificate shall contain reasonable details of how the amount payable is calculated) and shall constitute prima facie evidence of such amount payable. If such Lender makes the payment to the Agent required herein, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Advance for purposes of this Agreement and shall entitle the Lender to all rights and remedies against the Borrower in respect of such Advance.

2.15     If any Lender fails to make available to the Agent its Pro Rata Share of any Advance under the Facility as required (a "Defaulting Lender") and the Agent has not funded pursuant to Section 2.14, the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such failure by such Defaulting Lender to the Borrower and the Lenders and such notice shall state that any Lender may make available to the Agent all or any portion of the Defaulting Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Advance (but in no way shall any other Lender or the Agent be obliged to do so) in the place and stead of the Defaulting Lender. If more than one Lender gives notice that it is prepared to make funds available in the place and stead of a Defaulting Lender in such circumstances and the aggregate of the funds which such Lenders (herein collectively called the "Contributing Lenders" and individually called the "Contributing Lender") are prepared to make available exceeds the amount of the advance which the Defaulting Lender failed to make, then each Contributing Lender shall be deemed to have given notice that it is prepared to make available its pro rata share of such advance based on the Contributing Lenders' relative commitments to advance in such circumstances. If any Contributing Lender makes funds available in the place and stead of a Defaulting Lender in such circumstances, then the Defaulting Lender shall pay to any Contributing Lender making the funds available in its place and stead, forthwith on demand, any amount advanced on its behalf together with interest thereon at the then prevailing "RBC Prime Rate" (meaning the annual rate of interest announced from time to time by Royal Bank of Canada as a reference rate then in effect for determining interest rates on Canadian dollar commercial loans in Canada) for each day from the date of advance to the date of payment, against payment by the Contributing Lender making the funds available of all interest received in respect of the Advance from the Borrower. In addition to interest as aforesaid, the Borrower shall pay all amounts owing by the Borrower to the Defaulting Lender hereunder (with respect to the amounts advanced by the Contributing Lenders on behalf of the Defaulting Lender) to the Contributing Lenders until such time as the Defaulting Lender pays to the Agent for the Contributing Lenders all amounts advanced by the Contributing Lenders on behalf of the Defaulting Lender and non-receipt by such Defaulting Lender will not constitute a breach by the Borrower of this Agreement and all such payments shall discharge the Borrower's obligations to the Defaulting Lender in respect of the same.

2.16     The Borrower covenants and agrees to, with respect to each Lender, establish and maintain throughout the term of the Facility a pre-authorized electronic debit arrangement with a financial institution on terms satisfactory to such Lender, pursuant to which all payments coming due to such Lender in respect of payment of fees and repayment of principal, interest and other amounts coming due under this Agreement shall be made. All payments made by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to any other Facility Document shall be made before 2:00 p.m. (local time at the required place of payment) on the day specified for payment and each Lender shall be entitled to withdraw the amount of any payment due to such Lender hereunder from such account on the day specified for payment. Any payment received after 2:00 p.m. (local time at the required place of payment) on the day specified for such payment shall be deemed to have been received before 2:00 p.m. (local time at the required place of payment) on the immediately following Business Day. All payments to a particular Lender shall be made to the place of payment specified for such Lender in Schedule A hereto or in any assignment agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender hereunder.

2.17     If from time to time the Agent accepts any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due under this Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders, then forthwith after its receipt of such payment the Agent shall, subject to Sections 2.9(a)(i), 2.15 and 11.7, remit to each Lender, in immediately available funds, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such payment (except to the extent such payment results from an Advance with respect to which a Lender had failed, pursuant to Section 2.14, to make available to the Agent its Pro Rata Share and, where any other Lender has made funds available in the place and stead of a Defaulting Lender); provided that if the Agent, on the assumption that it will receive, on any particular date, a payment of principal (including, a prepayment), interest, fees or other amount under the Facility, remits to each Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment and the Borrower fails to make such payment, each Lender agrees to repay to the Agent, forthwith on demand, to the extent that such amount is not recovered from the Borrower on demand and after reasonable efforts by the Agent to collect such amount (without in any way obligating the Agent to take any legal action with respect to such collection), such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the payment made to it pursuant hereto together with interest thereon at the rate applicable to the Facility, calculated in accordance with Section 2.6(a) for each day from the date such amount is remitted to the Lender until the date such amount is paid or repaid to the Agent, the exact amount of the repayment required to be made by the Lender pursuant hereto to be as set forth in a certificate delivered by the Agent to each Lender, which certificate shall constitute prima facie evidence of such amount of repayment.

2.18     Each Lender shall maintain accounts wherein the Lender shall record the amount of credit outstanding and owed to the Lender hereunder, each payment of principal and interest to such Lender on account of each Advance and all other amounts becoming due to and being paid to such Lender hereunder, including standby fees. Each Lender's accounts constitute, in the absence of manifest error, prima facie evidence of the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender pursuant to this Agreement.

2.19     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.14 with respect to the funding of Advances in accordance with each Lender's Pro Rata Share, the Agent shall be entitled to reallocate the funding obligations under the Facility among the Lenders in order to ensure, to the greatest extent practicable, that after such funding the aggregate amount of credit extended hereunder by each Lender coincides with such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of credit extended under the Facility by all of the Lenders thereunder, provided that no such allocation shall result in the aggregate amount of credit extended hereunder by any Lender exceeding such Lender's Individual Commitment in respect of the Facility.

3.4     The Borrower may, at any time, without penalty, terminate the whole or reduce in part, on a permanent basis, the unused portion of the Second Advance Commitment and/or the Third Advance Commitment, provided that:

7.4     The Borrower will pay for the Agent's reasonable legal fees (on a solicitor and own client basis) and all other reasonable costs, charges and expenses (including all due diligence expenses) of and incidental to the preparation, execution and completion of this Agreement and all other Facility Documents, all as may be required by the Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, to complete this transaction (and regardless of whether the Initial Advance is made), and will also pay for the reasonable expenses of the Agent (previously paid) and CEF (Capital Markets) Limited in connection with their recent due diligence visits. The Borrower further covenants and agrees to pay all of the Finance Parties' reasonable legal fees (on a solicitor and own client basis) and all other reasonable costs, charges and expenses of and incidental to the recovery of all amounts owing hereunder and under the other Facility Documents, including but not limited to the enforcement of the Security Documents granted hereunder or which otherwise secures repayment of the Facility. All amounts will be payable upon presentment of an invoice. If not paid within 30 days of presentment of an invoice, such amounts will be added to and form part of the principal amount of the Facility and shall accrue interest from the date of presentment of the invoice as if it had been advanced by the Lenders (in their respective Pro Rata Shares) to the Borrower hereunder on such date. The Borrower has deposited with the Agent a retainer of C$100,000. If at any time the Agent's fees and expenses referred to herein exceed the amount of such retainer, the Borrower will pay to the Agent all additional retainer monies as may be requested by the Agent. All such retainer monies will be refundable if and to the extent not required to pay the amounts payable pursuant to the first sentence of this section.

7.5     If the Borrower or any other Credit Party shall fail to perform any of its respective covenants contained in this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents, the Agent, upon becoming aware of such failure, may (in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders, in their discretion), but need not, itself perform any of such covenants capable of being performed by it, but is under no obligation to do so. All reasonable sums so required to be paid by the Agent in connection with the Agent's performance of any covenant will be added to and form part of the principal amount of the Facility and shall accrue interest from the date so paid by the Agent as if the same had been advanced by the Lenders (in their respective Pro Rata Shares) to the Borrower hereunder on such date. No such performance by the Agent of any such covenant or payment or expenditure by the Borrower of any sums advanced or borrowed by the Agent pursuant to the foregoing provisions shall be deemed to relieve the Borrower from any default hereunder or its continuing obligations hereunder.

8.2     If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Agent (in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders) may (i) by notice to the Borrower, (A) declare the Lender's commitments to advance any unadvanced portion of the Facility to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, and (B) declare the entire unpaid principal amount of the Facility, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other fees, charges and costs hereunder to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Facility, all such accrued interest and all other fees, charges and costs hereunder shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, provided that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada), the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) or the Winding-up and Restructuring Act (Canada), or any substantially similar legislation under the laws of the United States providing for any form of creditor protection, the result which would otherwise occur only upon giving of notice by the Agent to the Borrower under this Section 8.2, shall occur automatically without the giving of any such notice; and (ii) whether or not the actions referred to in clause (i) have been taken, (X) exercise any or all of the Agent's rights and remedies under the Security Documents, and (Y) proceed to enforce all other rights and remedies available to the Agent under this Agreement, the other Facility Documents and Applicable Law.

8.4     If an Event of Default shall have occurred, but subject to Section 8.3 hereof:

(a)     the Agent may (in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders) proceed to enforce, and to instruct any other Person to enforce, the rights of the Finance Parties by any action, suit, remedy or proceeding authorized or permitted by this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents or by law or equity; and may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Finance Parties proven in any bankruptcy, insolvency, winding-up or other judicial proceedings relating to the Borrower and the other Credit Parties; and

(b)     no such remedy for the enforcement of the rights of the Finance Parties shall be exclusive of or dependent on any other such remedy but any one or more of such remedies may from time to time be exercised independently or in combination.

8.5     In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Agent and each Lender is authorized, at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing without notice to the Credit Parties or to any other Person, any such notice being expressly waived by the Credit Parties, to set-off, appropriate and apply any and all deposits, matured or unmatured, general or special, and any other indebtedness at any time held by or owing by the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, to or for the credit of or the account of any of the Credit Parties against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower which are due and payable to the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, under the Facility Documents.

Such power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable.

8.7     No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Agent is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or under any other Facility Document or now or hereafter existing by law or by statute.

ARTICLE 9
AGENT

9.1     Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes, and hereby agrees that it will require any assignee of any of its interests in the Facility Documents (other than the holder of a participation in its interests herein or therein) to appoint and authorize, the Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Facility Documents as are delegated to the Agent by such Lender by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any of the Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct and each Lender hereby acknowledges that the Agent is entering into the provisions of this Section 9.1 on its own behalf and as agent and trustee for its directors, officers, employees and agents.

9.2     The Agent may treat each Lender set forth in Schedule A hereto or the Person designated in the last notice delivered to it under Section 12.5 as the holder of all of the interests of such Lender under the Facility Documents.

9.3     The Agent may consult with legal counsel selected by it as counsel for the Agent and the other Finance Parties and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice and opinion of such counsel.

9.4     The Agent shall not be under any duty to the Lenders to examine, enquire into or pass upon the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of the Facility Documents or any instrument, document or communication furnished pursuant to or in connection with the Facility Documents and the Agent shall, as regards the Lenders, be entitled to assume that the same are valid, effective and genuine, have been signed or sent by the proper parties and are what they purport to be.

9.5     With respect to those portions of the Facility made available by it as a Lender, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Facility Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent. The Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with each Credit Party and its Affiliates and Persons doing business with such Credit Party and/or any of its Affiliates as if it were not the Agent and without any obligation to account to the Lenders therefor.

9.6     The duties and obligations of the Agent to the Lenders under the Facility Documents are only those expressly set forth herein. The Agent shall not have any duty to the Lenders to investigate whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred. The Agent shall, as regards the Lenders, be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing unless the Agent has actual knowledge or has been notified by a Credit Party of such fact or has been notified by a Lender that such Lender considers that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such notification to specify in detail the nature thereof.

9.7     The Agent shall be entitled to use its discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any rights which may be vested in it on behalf of the Lenders by and under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Agent shall not exercise any rights under Section 8.2 or under any guarantee or other Security Documents or expressed to be on behalf of or with the consent or approval of or in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders without the request, consent or instructions of the Majority Lenders. Furthermore, any rights of the Agent expressed to be on behalf of or with the consent or approval of or in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders shall be exercised by the Agent upon the request or instructions of the Majority Lenders. The Agent shall incur no liability to the Lenders under or in respect of any of the Facility Documents with respect to anything which it may do or refrain from doing in the reasonable exercise of its judgment or which may seem to it to be necessary or desirable in the circumstances, except for its gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting under any of the Facility Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such instructions shall be binding on all Lenders. In respect of any notice by or action taken by the Agent hereunder, no Credit Party shall at any time be obliged to enquire as to the right or authority of the Agent to so notify or act.

9.8     In the event that the Agent shall acquire actual knowledge or shall have been notified of any Default or Event of Default, the Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and shall take such action and assert such rights under Section 8.2 of this Agreement and under the other Facility Documents as the Majority Lenders shall request in writing and the Agent shall not be subject to any liability by reason of its acting pursuant to any such request. If the Majority Lenders shall fail for five Business Days after receipt of the notice of any Default or Event of Default to request the Agent to take such action or to assert such rights under any of the Facility Documents in respect of such Default or Event of Default, the Agent may, but shall not be required to, and subject to subsequent specific instructions from the Majority Lenders, take such action or assert such rights (other than rights under Section 8.2 of this Agreement or under the other Facility Documents and other than giving an express waiver of any Default or any Event of Default) as it deems in its discretion to be advisable for the protection of the Lenders except that, if the Majority Lenders have instructed the Agent not to take such action or assert such rights, in no event shall the Agent act contrary to such instructions unless required by law to do so.

9.9     The Agent shall be under no liability or responsibility whatsoever as agent hereunder:

(a)     to any Credit Party or any other Person as a consequence of any failure or delay in the performance by, or any breach by, any Lender or Lenders of any of its or their obligations under any of the Facility Documents;

(b)     to any Lender or Lenders as a consequence of any failure or delay in performance by, or any breach by, any Credit Party of any of its obligations under any of the Facility Documents; or

(c)     to any Lender or Lenders for any statements, representations or warranties in any of the Facility Documents or in any other documents contemplated hereby or thereby or in any other information provided pursuant to any of the Facility Documents or any other documents contemplated hereby or thereby or for the validity, effectiveness, enforceability or sufficiency of any of the Facility Documents or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby.

9.10     The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties), pro rata based on their respective Exposures, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of any of the Facility Documents or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under any of the Facility Documents or any document contemplated hereby or thereby, except that no Lender shall be liable to the Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Agent.

9.11     Each Lender represents and warrants to the Agent that:

(a)     in making its decision to enter into this Agreement and to make its Pro Rata Share of the Facility available to the Borrower, it is independently taking whatever steps it considers necessary to evaluate the financial condition and affairs of the Credit Parties and that it has made an independent credit judgment without reliance upon any information furnished by the Agent; and

- 76 -

(b)     so long as any portion of the Facility is being utilized by the Borrower, it will continue to make its own independent evaluation of the financial condition and affairs of the Credit Parties.

9.12     Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, the Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days written notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be required (a) if the successor Agent is an Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Agent on the date hereof or (b) for so long as a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent who shall be one of the Lenders unless none of the Lenders wishes to accept such appointment. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment by the time of such resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges, duties and obligations of the retiring Agent (in its capacity as Agent but not in its capacity as a Lender) and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (in its capacity as Agent but not in its capacity as a Lender). After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as the Agent, provisions of this Article 9 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent.

9.13     The Agent shall have the right to delegate any of its duties or obligations hereunder as Agent to any Affiliate of the Agent so long as the Agent shall not thereby be relieved of such duties or obligations

9.14     

(a)     Subject to Sections 9.14 (b) and (c), any term, covenant or condition of any of the Facility Documents may only be amended with the prior consent of the Credit Parties party thereto and the Majority Lenders or compliance therewith may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) by the Agent with the consent of the Majority Lenders and in any such event the failure to observe, perform or discharge any such covenant, condition or obligation, so amended or waived (whether such amendment is executed or such consent or waiver is given before or after such failure), shall not be construed as a breach of such covenant, condition or obligation or as a Default or Event of Default.

(b)     With the prior written consent of all the Lenders (and not otherwise), any amendment of or waiver with respect to any provision of any Facility Document, as applicable, may act to:

(i)     increase the amount of the Facility;

- 77 -

(ii)     extend the Stated Maturity Date;

(iii)     extend the time for the payment of interest on Advances or of standby fees, forgive any portion of principal thereof, reduce the stated rate of interest thereon or applicable standby fees or amend the requirement of pro rata application of all amounts received by the Agent in respect of the Facility;

(iv)     waive any conditions precedent;

(v)     reduce the stated amount or postpone the date for payment of fees or other amounts to be paid in respect of the Facility,

(vi)     amend the definition of Majority Lenders;

(vii)     permit any subordination of any of the Facility Indebtedness;

(viii)     release or discharge any guarantee or, except as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 9.20, other Security Documents, in whole or in part; or

(ix)     alter the terms of this Section 9.14.

(c)     No amendment to or waiver of any provision hereof to the extent it affects the rights or obligations of the Agent shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Agent.

(d)     No amendment of this Agreement which would change the Individual Commitment of a Lender shall be effective without the prior written consent of such Lender.

9.15     Any determination to be made by the Agent on behalf of or with the approval of the Majority Lenders in accordance with this Agreement shall be made by the Agent in good faith and, if so made, shall be binding on all parties, absent manifest error. The Credit Parties are entitled to assume that any action taken by the Agent under or in connection with any Facility Document has been appropriately authorized by the Lenders or the relevant group of majority lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to the terms hereof.

9.16     

(a)     The Lenders agree that, at any time after all indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders pursuant hereto has become immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 8.2 or after the cancellation or termination of the Facility, they will at any time or from time to time upon the request of any Lender through the Agent purchase portions of the availments made available by the other Lenders which remain outstanding, and make any other adjustments which may be necessary or appropriate, in order that the amounts of the availments made available by the respective Lenders which remain outstanding, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 9.16, will be in the same proportions as their respective Pro Rata Shares thereof with respect to the Facility immediately prior to such acceleration, cancellation or termination.

- 78 -

(b)     The Lenders agree that, at any time after all Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders pursuant hereto has become immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 8.2 or after the cancellation or termination of the Facility, the amount of any payment made by the Credit Parties under this Agreement, and the amount of any proceeds of the exercise of any rights or remedies of the Lenders under the Facility Documents, which are to be applied against amounts owing hereunder as principal, will be so applied in a manner such that to the extent possible, the availments made available by the Lenders which remain outstanding, after giving effect to such application, will be in the same proportions as their respective Pro Rata Shares thereof with respect to the Facility immediately prior to the cancellation or termination thereof immediately prior to such acceleration, cancellation or termination.

(c)     For greater certainty, the Lenders acknowledge and agree that without limiting the generality of the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, such provisions will have application if and whenever any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, compensation, or otherwise), other than on account of any monies owing or payable by the Borrower to it under the Facility Documents in excess of its pro rata share of payments on account of monies owing by the Borrower to all the Lenders thereunder.

(d)     The Credit Parties agree to be bound by and to do all things necessary or appropriate to give effect to any and all purchases and other adjustments made by and between the Lenders pursuant to this Section 9.16.

9.17     If a Lender shall receive payment of a portion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and standby fees due to it hereunder including by way of set-off pursuant to Section 8.5 which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and standby fees due in respect of the Facility (having regard to the respective Individual Commitments of the Lenders), the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase a participation (which shall be deemed to have been done simultaneously with receipt of such payment) in that portion of the aggregate outstanding credit of the other Lender or Lenders so that the respective receipts shall be pro rata to their respective Exposures; provided, however, that if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender shall be recovered from the Borrower, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price paid for such participation shall be returned by such selling Lender or Lenders to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

9.18     Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, promptly after receipt by the Agent of any notice or other document which is delivered to the Agent hereunder on behalf of the Lenders, the Agent shall provide a copy of such notice or other document to each of the Lenders; provided, however, that a copy of any such notice delivered at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be delivered by the Agent to each of the Lenders.

9.19     None of the Lenders shall be entitled to enjoy any Lien with respect to any of the Secured Assets or other Credit Party Assets other than the Security.

9.20     To the extent a sale or other disposition of the Secured Assets is permitted pursuant to the provisions hereof, the Lenders hereby authorize the Agent, at the cost and expense of the Borrower, to execute such discharges and other instruments which are necessary for the purposes of releasing and discharging the Security therein or for the purposes of recording the provisions or effect thereof in any office where the Security Documents may be registered or recorded or for the purpose of more fully and effectively carrying out the provisions of this Section 9.20.

9.21     Upon the Security becoming enforceable in accordance with its terms, the Agent shall promptly so notify each of the Lenders. Any Lender may thereafter provide the Agent with a written request to enforce the Security. Forthwith after the receipt of such a request, the Agent shall seek the instructions of the Majority Lenders as to whether the Security should be enforced and the manner in which the Security should be enforced. In seeking such instructions, the Agent shall submit a specific proposal to the Lenders. From time to time, any Lender may submit a proposal to the Agent as to the manner in which the Security should be enforced and the Agent shall submit any such proposal to the Lenders for approval of the Majority Lenders. The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of all instructions and approvals of the Majority Lenders. If the Majority Lenders instruct the Agent to enforce the Security, each of the Lenders agree to accelerate the Facility Indebtedness owed to it to the extent permitted under the relevant Facility Document and in accordance with the relevant Facility Document.

9.22     The Agent reserves the sole right to enforce, or otherwise deal with, the Security and to deal with the Credit Parties in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Agent shall so enforce, or otherwise deal with, the Security as the Majority Lenders shall instruct.

9.23     

(a)     All Proceeds of Realization not in the form of cash shall be forthwith delivered to the Agent and disposed of, or realized upon, by the Agent in such manner as the Majority Lenders may approve so as to produce Cash Proceeds of Realization.

(b)     Subject to the claims, if any, of secured creditors of the Credit Parties whose security ranks in priority to the Security, all Cash Proceeds of Realization shall be applied and distributed, and the claims of the Finance Parties shall be deemed to have the relative priorities which would result in the Cash Proceeds of Realization being applied and distributed, as follows:

(i)     firstly, to the payment of all outstanding fees due to the Agent hereunder and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent (including all legal fees and disbursements) in the exercise of all or any of the powers granted to it hereunder or under the guarantees and other Security Documents and in payment of all of the remuneration of any Receiver and all costs and expenses properly incurred by such Receiver (including all legal fees and disbursements) in the exercise of all or any powers granted to it under the Security Documents;

(ii)     secondly, in payment of all amounts of money borrowed or advanced by the Agent or such Receiver pursuant to the Security Documents and any interest thereon;

(iii)     thirdly, to the payment of the Facility Indebtedness (including, where applicable, to the provision of cash collateral in respect of any Facility Indebtedness which has not then matured, for application against the same once it has matured) to the respective Lenders pro rata based on their respective Exposures; and

(iv)     the balance, if any, in accordance with Applicable Law.

9.24     Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges that to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any collateral security and the remedies provided under the Facility Documents to the Lenders are for the benefit of the Lenders collectively and acting together and not severally and further acknowledges that its rights hereunder and under any collateral security are to be exercised not severally, but by the Agent upon the decision of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Facility Documents). Accordingly, notwithstanding any of the provisions contained herein or in any collateral security, each of the Lenders hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not be entitled to take any action hereunder or thereunder including any declaration of default hereunder or thereunder but that any such action shall be taken only by the Agent with the prior written agreement of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Facility Documents). Each of the Lenders hereby further covenants and agrees that upon any such written agreement being given, it shall co-operate fully with the Agent to the extent requested by the Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of instructions from the Majority Lenders and where in the sole opinion of the Agent, acting reasonably and in good faith, the exigencies of the situation warrant such action, the Agent may without notice to or consent of the Lenders take such action on behalf of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or desirable in the interest of the Lenders.

9.25     The provisions of this Article 9 and all other provisions of this Agreement which are necessary to give effect to each of the provisions of this Article 9 shall survive the permanent repayment in full of the Facility and the termination of all of the Individual Commitments of the Lenders in connection therewith until such time as all of the Facility Indebtedness has been paid in full and all of the Individual Commitments of the Lenders in connection therewith have been terminated.

INDEMNITIES, TAXES, CHANGES IN CIRCUMSTANCES

11.1     The Borrower expressly declares and agrees as follows:

(a)     Each Finance Party, its partners and its and their directors, officers, employees, and agents, and all of their respective representatives, heirs, successors and assigns (collectively the "Indemnified Parties") will at all times be indemnified and saved harmless by the Borrower from and against all claims, demands, losses, actions, causes of action, costs, charges, expenses, damages and liabilities whatsoever arising in connection with this Agreement and the other Facility Documents (except any loss, expense, claim, proceeding, judgment or liability described in Section 11.2 or resulting from Taxes, other than Taxes imposed on non-Tax claims and Taxes for which specific indemnification is provided in other sections of this Agreement), including, without limitation, those arising out of or related to actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Finance Parties contemplated hereby, reasonable legal fees and disbursements on a solicitor and client basis and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of this indemnity, which the Finance Party may suffer or incur, whether at law or in equity, in any way caused by or arising, directly or indirectly, in respect of any act, deed, matter or thing whatsoever made, done, acquiesced in or omitted in or about or in relation to the execution of its duties as Finance Party and including any act, deed, matter or thing in relation to the registration, perfection, release or discharge of security. The foregoing provisions of this subsection do not apply to the extent that the Finance Party or its employees or agents were grossly negligent or acted with wilful misconduct in relation to their obligations hereunder. This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation, replacement or termination of the Finance Party; and

(b)     each Finance Party may act and rely and shall be protected in acting and relying upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, letter, telegram, cable, facsimile or other paper or electronic document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented by or on behalf of the proper party or parties.

11.2     The Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless and will defend the Indemnified Parties against any loss, expenses, claim, proceedings, judgment, liability or asserted liability (including strict liability and including costs and expenses of investigation, abatement and remediation and monitoring of spills or releases of Hazardous Materials and including liabilities of the Indemnified Parties to, and obligations or claims asserted against the Indemnified Parties by, third parties (including governmental agencies), in any case in respect of liabilities, violations or obligations under Environmental Laws, bodily injuries, property damage, damage to or impairment of the environment or any other injury or damage and including liabilities to third parties for the third parties' foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential damages) incurred or sustained by or threatened upon the Indemnified Party as a result of or in connection with the administration or enforcement of this Agreement or any other Facility Document, including without limitation the exercise by any Finance Party of any rights hereunder or under the Security Documents, which result from or relate, directly or indirectly, to:

(a)     the presence or release of any Hazardous Materials, by any means or for any reason, on, to, from, beneath or in the vicinity of the Secured Assets or any Credit Party's other property;

(b)     any Environmental Matter associated with the Project; or

(c)     any violation, liability under or any breach or alleged breach of any Environmental Laws by the Borrower or any other Credit Party;

except excluding any such loss, expenses, claim, proceedings, judgment, liability or asserted liability which, in each case, results from the Indemnified Parties' gross negligence.

For purposes of this Section, "liability" shall include (A) any liability for costs and expenses of any investigation, abatement and remediation of spills and releases of Hazardous Materials where such investigation, abatement and remediation is (1) prudent for the continued operation of the Project or any part thereof, (2) required by Environmental Laws, or (3) required to maintain the value and use of the Secured Assets or other property, (B) liability under any Environmental Laws including to any third party to reimburse the third party for bodily injuries, property damages and other injuries or damages which the third party suffers, including (to the extent, if any, that the Indemnified Party is liable therefor) foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential damages suffered by the third party, (C) any liability for damage suffered by the third party referred to in clause (B) above, (D) any liability of an Indemnified Party for damage to or impairment of the environment and (E) any liability for court costs, expenses of alternative dispute resolution proceedings, and fees and disbursements of expert consultants and legal counsel on a solicitor and own client basis.

- 84 -

11.3     The Agent shall have the power to institute and maintain all and any such actions, suits or proceedings and to take any other action as it may consider necessary or expedient, acting reasonably, to preserve, protect or enforce any Finance Party's interests. The Agent may conduct all such due diligence from time to time as it deems prudent or necessary, including environmental due diligence, and may remedy all breaches or other conditions or circumstances which the Agent may, in its discretion, acting reasonably, determine to either expose any Finance Party to potential liability or jeopardize in any way the collateral secured by the Security Documents, all at the expense of the Borrower.

11.4     If under any Applicable Law and whether pursuant to a judgment being made or registered against any Credit Party or for any other reason, any payment of all or part of the Indebtedness owing by any Credit Party under or in connection with any Facility Document is made or is satisfied in a currency other than U.S. currency (the "Other Currency"), then to the extent that the payment (when converted into U.S. currency at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of payment, or, if it is not practicable for the relevant Finance Party to purchase U.S. currency with the Other Currency on the date of payment, at the rate of exchange as soon thereafter as it is practicable for it to do so) actually received by the Finance Party falls short of the amount of the Indebtedness required to be paid, the Borrower shall, as a separate and independent obligation, indemnify and hold harmless the Finance Party against the amount of such shortfall. For the purpose of this Agreement, "rate of exchange" means the rate at which the relevant Finance Party is able on a foreign exchange market selected by such Finance Party, acting reasonably, on the relevant date to purchase U.S. currency with the Other Currency and shall take into account any premium and other reasonable costs of exchange.

11.5     

(a)     Any and all payments made and other consideration provided (including without limitation the Securities) by a Credit Party hereunder or under any other Facility Document (any such payment or other consideration being hereinafter referred to as a "Payment") to or for the benefit of the Agent, any Lender or any Tax-Related Person shall be made without set-off or counterclaim, and free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any and all present or future Taxes, except to the extent such deduction or withholding is required by law or the administrative practice of any Governmental Authority. If the Credit Party shall be so required to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any Payment made to or for the benefit of the Agent, any Lender or any Tax-Related Person, the Borrower shall:

(i)     promptly notify the Agent of such requirement;

(ii)     if such Taxes are an Indemnified Tax, pay or provide to the Agent in addition to the Payment to which the Agent or such Lender is otherwise entitled, such additional amount (or consideration) as is necessary to ensure that the net amount (or consideration) actually received by the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and each of their Tax Related Persons (free and clear of, and net of, any such Indemnified Tax, including the full amount of any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld from any additional amount (or consideration) paid or provided by the Credit Party under this Section 11.5(a), whether assessable against the Credit Party, the Agent or such Lender) equals the full amount (or consideration) the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and each of their Tax Related Persons would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required;

- 85 -

(iii)     make such deduction or withholding;

(iv)     pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law the full amount of Taxes required to be deducted or withheld (including the full amount of Taxes required to be deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by the Credit Party to the Agent or such Lender under this Section 11.5), within the time period required by Applicable Law; and

(v)     as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter, forward to the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, an original official receipt (or a certified copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Agent and such Lender, evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority.

(b)     In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary taxes or excise or property taxes, charges or levies of a similar nature, which arise from any Payment under, or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, the Facility Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (any such amounts being hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").

(c)     The Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Agent, each Lender and each of their Tax Related Persons, on an after-Taxes basis, for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes, interest, penalties and other liabilities, levied, imposed or assessed against (and whether or not paid directly by) the Agent, such Lender, and each of their Tax Related Persons as applicable, and for all expenses, resulting from or relating to any Credit Party's failure to:

(i)     remit to the Agent or such Lender the documentation referred to in Section 11.5(a)(v); or

(ii)     pay any Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the relevant Governmental Authority (including any Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable under this Section 11.5);

- 86 -

whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally assessed. The Agent or any Lender (each on behalf of itself or their Tax Related Persons) who pays any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, shall promptly notify the Borrower of such payment, provided, however, that failure to provide such notice shall not detract from, or compromise, the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 11.5. Payment pursuant to this indemnification under this Section 11.5(c) shall be made within 30 days from the date the Agent or the relevant Lender, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor accompanied by a certificate as to the amount of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, which shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify the Agent or any Lender for any expenses related to Taxes or Other Taxes arising from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Agent or any Lender or any Tax Related Person any breach of this Agreement by the Agent or any Lender or as determined by court of competent jurisdiction.

(d)     The Borrower also hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Agent, each Lender and each of their Tax Related Persons, on an after-Taxes basis, for any additional taxes on net income that the Agent or such Lender may be obliged to pay as a result of the receipt of amounts from the Borrower (or the Agent) under this Section 11.5.

(e)     Neither any Lender nor the Agent shall be under any obligation to arrange its tax affairs in any particular manner or be obliged to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs or computations to the Credit Parties or any other Person in connection with this Section 11.5.

(f)     Each Lender shall, and shall cause each Tax Related Person (other than a Tax Related Person of a Lender that is providing an IRS Form W-9) to, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Borrower) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower but only if the Lender or Tax-Related Person, as applicable, is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i)     duly completed copies of IRS Form W-9;

(ii)     in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (i) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from or reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty, and (ii) with respect to other applicable payments under this Agreement, duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from or reduction of U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty;

(iii)     duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iv)     in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate (substantially in the applicable form set out in Schedule J) to the effect that such Lender (A) does not accept deposits as a part of its business and it is not regulated, supervised or examined as a bank in any particular country, (B) is not a "10 percent shareholder" of the Borrower, or (C) is not a "controlled foreign corporation" that is related to the Borrower within the meaning of U.S. federal income tax laws (the "Portfolio Interest Exemption Certificate") and (y) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN;

- 87 -

(v)     to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, a properly executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-9, and/other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable, provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a Portfolio Interest Exemption Certificate (substantially in the applicable form set out in Schedule J) on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; or

(vi)     any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made, provided that the documentation described in this subparagraph (vi) shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender or a Tax Related Person to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender or Tax Related Person.

If any form or certification previously delivered by any Lender or Tax Related Person expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, such Lender or Tax Related Person shall update such form or certification and provide such updated document to the Borrower or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of its inability to do so.

(g)     If the Agent or any Lender or any Tax Related Person determines in its sole discretion (exercised in good faith) that it has received a refund of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which a payment has been made by the Borrower under this Section 11.5, then the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall pay such amount (if any) to the Borrower (but not exceeding any payment made under this Section 11.5 giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or such Lender or Tax Related Person, as the case may be, and other adjustments which the Agent or such Lender or Tax Related Person, as the case may be, reasonably determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-tax position it would have been in had such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments had never been paid. The Borrower, upon the request of the Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, agrees to repay to the Agent or such Lender any portion of such refund paid over to the Borrower that the Agent, such Lender or any of its Tax Related Persons is required to repay or pay, respectively, to the applicable taxing authority or jurisdiction and agrees to pay any interest, penalties or other charges paid by the Agent or such Lender as a result of or related to such repayment or payment. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to arrange its tax affairs in any particular manner so as to claim any refund or seek any other tax relief to which it may be entitled. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be obligated to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs or computations (including its tax returns) to the Borrower or any other Person in connection with this Section 11.5(g) or any other provisions of this Section 11.5.

(h)     To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between this Section 11.5 and any provision of any other Facility Document, this Section 11.5 shall to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency override such other provision and prevail.

(i)     The Borrower's and Lenders' obligations under this Section 11.5 shall survive without limitation the termination of the Facility and this Agreement and all other Facility Documents and the permanent repayment of the outstanding credit and all other amounts payable hereunder. The Lenders shall cause all Tax Related Persons to comply with this Section 11.5.

(j)     If the Borrower is now or hereafter required pursuant to Section 11.5 to make any additional payment to any Lender ("Affected Lender"), then, at any time after July 31, 2014, the Borrower may elect, if such amounts continue to be charged, to replace such Affected Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, and provided further that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Facility Indebtedness due to the Affected Lender pursuant to an assignment and assumption in a form reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and Agent and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 12.4 applicable to assignments, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Affected Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Affected Lender under Section 2.6.

11.6     

(a)     If, with respect to any type of credit, the introduction or adoption of any law, regulation, guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency ("Restraint") or any change therein or in the application thereof to the Borrower or to any Lender or in the interpretation or administration thereof or any compliance by any Lender therewith:

(i)     prohibits or restricts extending or maintaining such type of credit or the charging of interest or fees in connection therewith, the Borrower agrees that such Lender shall have the right to comply with such Restraint, shall have the right to refuse to permit the Borrower to obtain such type of credit and shall (if applicable) have the right to require, at the option of the Borrower, the conversion of such outstanding credit to another type of credit to permit compliance with the Restraint or repayment in full of such credit together with accrued interest thereon on the last day on which it is lawful for such Lender to continue to maintain and fund such credit or to charge interest or fees in connection therewith, as the case may be; or

- 89 -

(ii)     shall impose or require any reserve, special deposit requirements or U.S. Tax (excluding the Excluded Taxes), shall establish an appropriate amount of capital to be maintained by such Lender or shall impose any other requirement or condition which results in an increased cost to such Lender of extending or maintaining a credit or obligation hereunder or reduces the amount received or receivable by such Lender with respect to any credit under this Agreement or reduces such Lender's effective return hereunder or on its capital or causes such Lender to make any payment or to forego any return based on any amount received or receivable hereunder, then, on notification to the Borrower by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay immediately to such Lender such amounts as shall fully compensate such Lender for all such increased costs, reductions, payments or foregone returns which accrue up to and including the date of receipt by the Borrower of such notice and thereafter, upon demand from time to time, the Borrower shall pay such additional amount as shall fully compensate such Lender for any such increased or imposed costs, reductions, payments or foregone returns. Such Lender shall notify the Borrower of any actual increased or imposed costs, reductions, payments or foregone returns forthwith on becoming aware of same and shall concurrently provide to the Borrower a certificate of an officer of such Lender setting forth the amount of compensation to be paid to such Lender and the basis for the calculation of such amount.

(b)     Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause it to seek additional amounts from the Borrower pursuant to Section 11.6(a), it will use reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain the affected credit of such Lender through another lending office or take such other actions as it deems appropriate, in its sole discretion, if as a result thereof the additional moneys which would otherwise be required to be paid in respect of such credit pursuant to Section 5.2(a), would be reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, funding or maintaining of such affected credit through such other lending office or the taking of such other actions would not otherwise adversely affect such credit or such Lender and would not, in such Lender's sole discretion, be commercially unreasonable.

11.7     If any Lender but not all of the Lenders who have Individual Commitments in the same Facility seeks additional compensation pursuant to Section 11.6(a) (the "Affected Lender"), then the Borrower may indicate to the Agent in writing that it desires to replace the Affected Lender with one or more of the other Lenders, and the Agent shall then forthwith give notice to the other Lenders that any such Lender or Lenders may, in the aggregate, advance all (but not part) of the Affected Lender's Pro Rata Share of the affected credit and, in the aggregate, assume all (but not part) of the Affected Lender's Individual Commitment and obligations under the Facility and acquire all (but not part) of the rights of the Affected Lender and assume all (but not part) of the obligations of the Affected Lender under each of the other Facility Documents to the extent they relate to the Facility (but in no event shall any other Lender or the Agent be obliged to do so). If one or more Lenders shall so agree in writing (herein collectively called the "Assenting Lenders" and individually called an "Assenting Lender") with respect to such advance, acquisition and assumption, the Pro Rata Share of such credit of each Assenting Lender and the Individual Commitment and the obligations of such Assenting Lender under the Facility and the rights and obligations of such Assenting Lender under each of the other Facility Documents to the extent they relate to the Facility shall be increased by its respective pro rata share (based on the relative Individual Commitments of the Assenting Lenders) of the Affected Lender's Pro Rata Share of such credit and Individual Commitment and obligations under the Facility and rights and obligations under each of the other Facility Documents to the extent they relate to the Facility on a date mutually acceptable to the Assenting Lenders and the Borrower. On such date, the Assenting Lenders shall extend to the Borrower the Affected Lender's Pro Rata Share of such credit and shall prepay to the Affected Lender the advances of the Affected Lender then outstanding, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts owing to the Affected Lender hereunder, and, upon such advance and prepayment by the Assenting Lenders, the Affected Lender shall cease to be a "Lender" for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer have any obligations hereunder. Upon the assumption of the Affected Lender's Individual Commitment as aforesaid by an Assenting Lender, Schedule A hereto shall be deemed to be amended to increase the Individual Commitment of such Assenting Lender by the respective amounts of such assumption.

ARTICLE 12
MISCELLANEOUS

12.1     No failure on the part of the Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege under any Facility Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Agent under the Facility Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges that may otherwise be available to the Agent.

12.2     All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made in any of the Facility Documents shall, except to the extent otherwise provided therein, survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each Advance of the Facility, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any principal amount remains outstanding hereunder or any other Obligations under any Facility Document remain unpaid or any obligation to perform any other act hereunder or under any other Facility Document remains unsatisfied.

12.3     The Facility Documents are entered into for the sole protection and benefit of the parties thereto and their successors and assigns, and no other Person (other than the Indemnified Persons) shall be a direct or indirect beneficiary of, or shall have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, any Facility Document.

12.4     This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each of the parties hereto and thereafter shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by such parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. No Credit Party shall have the right to assign its rights and obligations hereunder or under the other Facility Documents or any interest herein or therein without the prior written consent of the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders). Each Lender reserves the right to sell, assign, transfer or grant participations in all or any portion of such Lender's rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Facility Documents to any other Person, provided that (except in the case of a grant of a participation) (i) any such act shall require the prior written consent of the Agent (acting in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders, in their sole discretion), and (ii) any such sale, assignment or transfer to a Person to whom Payments hereunder would result in the Borrower having to pay additional amounts under Section 11.5(a)(ii) (in amounts greater than those, if any, which would have been payable had the sale, assignment or transfer not been made) shall require the prior written consent of the Borrower unless an Event of Default exists (provided that if an Event of Default does exist, then the assignee shall only be required to comply with Section 11.5(f) if the assignee is eligible to provide a form establishing an exemption from, or reduction in, withholding tax and it is not unreasonably burdensome to do so). In the event of any such grant of a participation, the granting Lender's obligations under this Agreement to the Borrower shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof and the Credit Parties shall continue to be obligated to such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents (including in respect of the interest in respect of which the Lender has granted a participation). In the event of any such assignment, upon written notice thereof to the Borrower, the assignee shall be deemed to be a "Lender" for all purposes of the Facility Documents with respect to the rights and obligations assigned to it, and the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender so assigned shall thereupon terminate. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the loan owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Credit Parties and the Finance Parties shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.

The Borrower agrees that in connection with any such grant or assignment, the Agent may deliver to the prospective participant or assignee financial statements and other relevant information relating to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. In the event of any such participation, each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations

12.5     The Borrower and each Lender agree that (a) the promissory notes represented by the Initial Advance, the Bonus Shares and the Bonus Warrants (excluding the Bonus Warrants Amendments and the Bonus Warrants Second Amendments), constitute "Investment Units" as that term is defined in section 1273(c)(2) of the Code, (b) the issue price of the Investment Units (as defined in section 1273(b)(2) of the Code) is equal to US$10,000,000, (c) the fair market value of the Bonus Shares is US$900,000 and the fair market value of the Bonus Warrants (excluding the Bonus Warrants Amendments and the Bonus Warrants Second Amendments) is US$1,016,340, and (d) the issue price of the promissory notes represented by the Initial Advance for U.S. federal income tax purposes is US$8,083,660. Neither the Borrower nor any Lender shall take any position inconsistent with the foregoing on any report, return, claim for refund or other filing for U.S. federal, state or other tax purposes unless each party agrees or as otherwise may be required by applicable law

12.6     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Facility Document:

(b)     If, by entering into this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, the Lenders (or any of them) have entered into an agreement or arrangement to receive interest, on the credit advanced under this Agreement, in an amount which exceeds the Canadian Maximum Rate, then the interest will be reduced to the extent required to eliminate such excess (in the manner specified below);

(c)     If interest in the aggregate, on the credit advanced under this Agreement, is or is about to be received in an amount which exceeds the Canadian Maximum Rate, then the interest will be reduced, with retroactive effect, to the extent required to eliminate such excess (in the manner specified below), and if and to the extent so reduced the Lenders will return the same;

- 93 -

In the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries qualified for a period of ten (10) years and appointed by the Agent will be conclusive for the purposes of such determination. A certificate of an authorized signing officer of the Agent as to each amount, rate and/or other component of interest payable hereunder or in connection herewith from time to time shall be conclusive evidence of such amount, rate and/or other component, absent manifest error.

12.7     The Facility Documents reflect the entire agreement between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Finance Parties with respect to the matters set forth herein and therein and supersede any prior agreements, commitments, drafts, communication, discussions and understandings, oral or written, with respect thereto, including but not limited to the Term Sheet.

12.8     If any provision of any of the Facility Documents shall be prohibited by or invalid under Applicable Law in any jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such law or regulation, or, if for any reason cannot be so modified, it shall be ineffective and invalid only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without affecting the remaining provisions of such Facility Document, or the validity or effectiveness of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

12.9     This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and by electronic transmission of an authorized signature and each such counterpart shall be deemed to form part of one and the same document.

(a)     Each Warrant evidenced hereby may be exercised by the Holder at any time on the Exercise Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, by delivery to the Corporation at its Principal Executive Office or its Corporate Office of a completed Warrant Exercise Form in the form attached as Schedule A hereto (a "Notice of Exercise"), along with payment of the Purchase Price. A Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the Exercise Date and the person entitled to receive Warrant Shares deliverable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of a Warrant Share upon the exercise of the applicable Warrant as of the close of business on the Exercise Date. Promptly following, and in any event within ten business days after, the date on which the Corporation first receives clearance of all funds received in payment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Warrant Certificate, the Corporation shall cause to be issued and delivered to the person or persons entitled to receive the same, a certificate or certificates evidencing the issuance to such Holder of the applicable number of Warrant Shares (plus a Warrant Certificate for any remaining issued but unexercised Warrants of the Holder). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in the event that any registration or qualification (or filing for exemption from any such requirements) is required prior to the issuance of such Warrant Shares by the Corporation in accordance with Section 3(b) below, then the obligation to deliver any such certificates shall arise only upon completion of such requirements and at such time as the Corporation may lawfully do so.

(b)     Upon the exercise of the Warrants represented hereby, if the Corporation so requests, the Holder shall certify to the Corporation that it is not exercising such Warrants with a view to distribute the Warrant Shares in violation of the Securities Act, and shall provide such other investor representations as the Corporation may require to confirm the ability of the Corporation to rely upon the exemption from registration under the Securities Act which applies to the distribution of Warrant Shares at the time of such distribution.

- 4 -

(c)     If at any time prior to the Expiration Date, the VWAP for 30 consecutive Trading Days equals or exceeds US$5.00 per share and the Corporation gives notice of the same (with supporting calculations) to the Holder (the date of the Holder's receipt of such notice and calculations being an "Early Termination Event"), then the Warrants represented hereby shall expire and be void and of no effect at 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada time) on the 31st day after the Early Termination Event (the "Early Expiration Date"); provided that at all times from the date of the Early Termination Event through and including the Early Expiration Date there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and/or under any applicable state securities laws and regulations, and a current prospectus available under the Securities Act, for the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder. Notwithstanding this Section 2(c), if the Early Expiration Date falls on a date subsequent to the Expiration Date, the Warrants represented hereby shall expire and be void and of no effect at 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada time) on the Expiration Date.

SECTION 3
RESERVATION OF SHARES; TAXES; REGISTRATION STATEMENT; ETC.

(a)     The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issue upon the valid exercise of Warrants, such number of Warrant Shares as shall then be issuable upon the exercise of all Warrants then outstanding. The Corporation covenants that all Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall, at the time of delivery, be duly and validly issued, fully-paid, non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof (other than any liens created thereon by the Holder thereof and/or any predecessor of such Holder).

(b)     The Corporation shall not be obligated to deliver any Warrant Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants represented hereby unless and until a registration statement under the Securities Act and/or under any applicable state securities laws and regulations with respect to such securities is effective, or an exemption from such registration is available to the Corporation at the time of such exercise. The Warrants represented hereby may not be exercised by, nor Warrant Shares issued to, the Holder hereof in any jurisdiction in which such exercise and issuance would be unlawful.

(c)     The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp or similar taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to the issuance of the Warrants, or the issuance or delivery of any Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants.

(d)     The Corporation, at its sole cost and expense, shall (i) within 90 days after July u , 2013 file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act that will register the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder (the "Resale Registration Statement"), (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Registration Statement to become effective within 180 days after July u , 2013 and (iii) thereafter use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness and availability of the Resale Registration Statement for the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder.

SECTION 4
LOSS OR MUTILATION

Upon receipt by the Corporation of evidence satisfactory to it of the ownership of, and loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of, this Warrant Certificate and (in case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity satisfactory to the Corporation, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Corporation shall execute and deliver to the Holder in lieu thereof a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants as was indicated to be outstanding on the prior lost or mutilated Warrant Certificate (provided, however, that to the extent that any discrepancy may exist between the number of Warrants purported to be outstanding in respect of any Holder as evidenced by a Warrant Certificate that has been lost or mutilated and the number attributable to such Holder in a Warrant Registry that may be maintained by the Corporation, then the Warrant Registry shall control for all purposes, absent a showing of manifest error). Each Holder requesting a substitute Warrant Certificate due to loss, theft or destruction shall, prior to receiving such substitute certificate, provide an affidavit to the Corporation in the form prescribed by the Corporation and signed by (and notarized on behalf of) such Holder. Applicants for a substitute Warrant Certificate shall comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the Corporation may prescribe.

- 5 -

SECTION 5
ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE AND
NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES OR WARRANTS

(a)     Stock Splits, etc.. The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of any of the following. In case the Corporation shall: (i) pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock, or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock, to all holders of its outstanding Common Stock; (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares; (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock; or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock, then the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Corporation which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been exercised in advance thereof. Upon each such adjustment of the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Corporation which are purchasable hereunder, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase the number of Warrant Shares or other securities resulting from such adjustment at a Purchase Price per Warrant Share or other security obtained by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing by the number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Corporation resulting from such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.

(b)     Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets. In case the Corporation shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation (where the Corporation is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Corporation), or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property, assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (the "Other Property"), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Corporation, if it is the surviving corporation, and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. In case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Corporation) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Corporation and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation) in order to provide for adjustments of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section. For purposes of this Section, "common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation" shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or disposition of assets.

- 6 -

(c)     Voluntary Adjustment by the Corporation. If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiration Date, the Corporation takes any action affecting its Common Stock to which the foregoing provisions of this Section, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, acting reasonably and in good faith, are not strictly applicable, or if strictly applicable would not fairly adjust the rights of the Holder against dilution in accordance with the intent and purposes thereof, or would otherwise materially affect the rights of the Holder hereunder, then the Corporation shall execute and deliver to the Holder an amendment hereto providing for an adjustment in the application of such provisions so as to adjust such rights as aforesaid in such a manner as the Board of Directors of the Corporation may determine to be equitable in the circumstances, acting reasonably and in good faith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Corporation may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Purchase Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

(d)     Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or number or kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant or the Purchase Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Corporation shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the number of Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase Price of such Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by which such adjustment was made.

(e)     Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time:

(i)     the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution; or

(ii)     there shall be any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Corporation or any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with, or any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the Corporation to, another corporation; or

(iii)     there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation;

then, in any one or more of such cases, the Corporation shall give to the Holder: (i) at least 20 days' prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall be selected for such dividend or distribution, or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, liquidation or winding up; and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 20 days' prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (A) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to any such dividend or distribution, and the amount and character thereof, and (B) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Each such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to the Holder at the last address of the Holder appearing on the Warrant Registry.
