	(ii)	If such proposed terms for an Agency Transaction are acceptable to the applicable Agent, it shall promptly confirm the terms by countersigning the Agency Transaction Notice for such Agency Transaction and emailing it to the Authorized Company Representatives which delivered such Agency Transaction Notice. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of an Agency Transaction Notice, the terms of the Agency Transaction Notice will prevail.

	(iii)	Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the applicable Agent shall, severally and not jointly, use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell all of the Offered Shares designated in, and subject to the terms of, each accepted Agency Transaction Notice. The applicable Agent shall not sell any Offered Share at a price lower than the Floor Price.

	(vii)	If the terms of any Agency Transaction as set forth in an Agency Transaction Notice contemplate that the Offered Shares shall be sold on more than one Trading Day, then the Company and the applicable Agent shall mutually agree to such additional terms and conditions as they deem necessary in respect of such multiple Trading Days, and such additional terms and conditions shall be binding to the same extent as any other terms contained in the relevant Agency Transaction Notice.

(lll)

Effectiveness of Registration. The Company is qualified in accordance with the provisions of NI 44-101 and NI 44-102 to file a short form base shelf prospectus in each of the Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions and the entering into of this Agreement will not cause the Receipts to no longer be effective. At the time of filing the Registration Statement, the Company met, and as of the date hereof the Company meets, the general eligibility requirements for use of Form F-10 under the Act. Any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses required by this Agreement will be so prepared and filed by the Company and, as applicable, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause it to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable. The Commission’s website indicates that no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement is in effect. No proceedings for such purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, are contemplated or threatened by any Canadian Qualifying Authority, the Commission or similar regulatory authority or Cboe Canada, NASDAQ, or the Commission. No order preventing or suspending the use of the Base Prospectuses, the Prospectus Supplements, the Prospectuses or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus (as defined herein) has been issued by the Commission or any Canadian Qualifying Authority. The Canadian Prospectus, at the time of filing thereof with the Canadian Qualifying Authorities, complied in all material respects and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will comply in all material respects with Canadian Securities Laws. The Canadian Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, as of its date, did not and, as of each Time of Sale (as defined herein) and Settlement Date, if any, will not contain a misrepresentation, as defined under Canadian Securities Laws. The Canadian Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, as of its date, did and, as of each Time of Sale and Settlement Date, if any, will contain full, true and plain disclosure of all material facts relating to the Offered Shares and to the Company and will be accurate in all material respects. The representations and warranties set forth in the two immediately preceding sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from the Canadian Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to the Agents furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of the Agents expressly for use therein. The U.S. Prospectus, at the time first filed in accordance with General Instruction II.L. of Form F-10, conformed in all material respects and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will conform in all material respects to the Canadian Prospectus, except for such deletions therefrom and additions thereto as are permitted or required by Form F-10 and the Rules and Regulations. The Company has delivered to the Agents one complete copy of each of the Canadian Base Prospectus and the Registration Statement and a copy of each consent of experts filed as a part thereof, and conformed copies of the Canadian Base Prospectus, the Registration Statement (without exhibits) and the Prospectuses, as amended or supplemented, in such quantities and at such places as the Agents have reasonably requested. At the time of filing the Registration Statement and at the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) under the Act) of the Offered Shares, the Company was not and, as of the date of this Agreement, is not, an Ineligible Issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act), without taking account of any determination by the Commission pursuant to Rule 405 under the Act that it is not necessary that the Company be considered an Ineligible Issuer. “Time of Sale” means the time of the applicable Agent’s initial entry into contracts with investors for the sale of such Offered Shares. There is no fact known to the Company which the Company has not or will not disclose in the Prospectuses which results or will result in a Material Adverse Effect or, so far as the Company can reasonably foresee, could reasonably be expected to either result in a Material Adverse Effect or materially adversely affect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Company has a reasonable basis for disclosing any forward-looking information in the Canadian Prospectus and is not, as of the date hereof, required to update any such forward-looking statements pursuant to NI 51-102.

(mmm)	Accuracy. Each part of the Registration Statement, when such part became or becomes effective, at any deemed effective date pursuant to Form F-10 and the Rules and Regulations on the date of filing thereof with the Commission and at each Time of Sale and Settlement Date, and the U.S. Prospectus, on its date, or the date of filing thereof with the Commission and at each Time of Sale and Settlement Date, as amended or supplemented, conformed or will conform in all material respects with the requirements of the Rules and Regulations; the Form F-X conformed with the requirements of Form F-X; each part of the Registration Statement, when such part became or becomes effective, did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and the U.S. Prospectus, on its date and the date of filing thereof with the Commission on ▇▇▇▇▇, and the U.S. Prospectus and the applicable Permitted Free Writing Prospectus(es), if any, issued at or prior to such Time of Sale, taken together (collectively, and with respect to any Offered Shares, together with the public offering price of such Offered Shares, the “Disclosure Package”), in each case at each Time of Sale and Settlement Date, did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; except that the foregoing shall not apply to statements or omissions in any such document made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to the Agents furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Agents specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement, the U.S. Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto.

(nnn)	Permitted Free Writing Prospectus. Each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, if any, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the offering of the Offered Shares or until any earlier date that the Company notified or notifies the Agents as described in Section 3(bb) did not, does not and will not include any material information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the U.S. Base Prospectus or the U.S. Prospectus, in each case including any document incorporated by reference therein and any prospectus supplement deemed to be a part thereof that has not been superseded or modified, or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The foregoing sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Agents specifically for inclusion therein.

(ooo)	Investment Company. The Company is not and, after giving effect to application of the net proceeds of the offering of the Offered Shares as described in the Offering Documents, will not be, required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and is not and will not be an entity “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

(ppp)	Compliance with the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act. There is and has been no failure on the part of the Company or any of its directors or officers, in their capacities as such, to comply with any provision of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith, including, without limitation, Section 402 related to loans and Sections 302 and 906 related to certifications, in all cases to the extent they are applicable to the Company.

(qqq)	Foreign Private Issuer. The Company is, and upon completion of the transactions described herein, will be, a “foreign private issuer” within the meaning of Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act.

(rrr)	Forward-Looking Statements. No forward-looking statement (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act) included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectuses or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus has been made or reaffirmed without a reasonable basis or has been disclosed other than in good faith.

Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company and delivered to the Agents or to counsel for the Agents shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company, as the case may be, to the Agents as to the matters covered thereby.

3.	Agreements of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees with the Agents as follows:

(a)	Prospectus and Registration Statement Amendments. After the date of this Agreement and until the completion of the sales contemplated hereunder, (i) the Company will notify the Agents promptly of the time when any subsequent amendment to the Canadian Base Prospectus or the Registration Statement has been filed with any Canadian Qualifying Authority or the Commission and has become effective or where a receipt has been issued therefor, as applicable, or any subsequent supplement to the U.S. Prospectus or the Canadian Prospectus has been filed (each, an “Amendment Date”) and of any request by the Commission or any Canadian Qualifying Authority for any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses or for additional information; (ii) the Company will file promptly all other material required to be filed by it with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act and with the Canadian Qualifying Authorities; (iii) the Company will submit to the Agents a copy of any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses (other than a copy of any documents incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses) within a reasonable period of time before the filing thereof and will afford the Agents and the Agents’ counsel a reasonable opportunity to comment on any such proposed filing prior to such proposed filing; and (iv) the Company will furnish to the Agents at the time of filing thereof a copy of any document that upon filing is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses (provided that the Company shall not be required to deliver documents or information incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses if such documents are accessible from SEDAR+ or ▇▇▇▇▇) and the Company will cause (A) each amendment or supplement to the U.S. Prospectus to be filed with the Commission as required pursuant to General Instruction II.L of Form F-10 of the Rules and Regulations or, in the case of any document to be incorporated therein by reference, to be filed with the Commission as required pursuant to the Exchange Act, within the time period prescribed, and (B) each amendment or supplement to the Canadian Prospectus to be filed with the Canadian Qualifying Authorities as required pursuant to NI 44-101 and NI 44-102 (the “Canadian Shelf Procedures”) or, in the case of any document to be incorporated therein by reference, to be filed with the Canadian Qualifying Authorities as required pursuant to the Canadian Securities Laws, within the time period prescribed. The Company further agrees to notify the Agents and their counsel in writing as soon as reasonably practicable, and, in any event, within two Business Days, in the event it is provided notice or otherwise becomes aware that the Translation Decision has been modified, amended, cancelled or terminated in any manner whatsoever.

(b)	Material Change. The Company agrees that if, throughout the period during which an Agency Transaction Notice is pending or effective (and not suspended), it receives notice of, or discovers, any material change, or any event or the discovery of any fact which it believes is or could reasonably be expected to be material or would require the making of any amendment, supplement or revision to any of the Prospectuses under applicable Securities Laws, the Company will promptly notify the Agents in writing of the full particulars thereof. Unless otherwise advised by the Company, the Agents will be entitled to assume that there has been no material change in such information and entitled to rely thereon. The Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Agents, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, take any action which would have the effect of causing a material change in the business and affairs of the Company or any Material Subsidiary while an Agency Transaction Notice is in effect.

(c)	Notice of Stop Orders. The Company will advise the Agents, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the issuance by the Commission or any Canadian Qualifying Authority of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any of the Prospectuses or any other prospectus in respect of the Offered Shares, of any notice of objection of the Commission to the use of the form of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, of the suspension of the qualification of the Offered Shares for offering or sale in the United States or any of the Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions, of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the Commission or any Canadian Qualifying Authority for the amending or supplementing of the Registration Statement or any of the Prospectuses or for additional information relating to the Offered Shares. If there is an Agency Transaction Notice that has been issued by the Company that has not been suspended or terminated in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 1(a)(vi) or Section 7, as applicable, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or any order preventing or suspending the use of any of the Prospectuses or any other prospectus in respect of the Offered Shares, a notice of objection of the Commission to the form of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, the suspension of any qualification for offering or sale in the United States or any Canadian Qualifying Jurisdiction, and, in the event of the issuance of any such stop order or any such order preventing or suspending the use of any prospectus relating to the Offered Shares or suspending any such qualification, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the lifting or withdrawal of such order as soon as possible. If there is no such outstanding Agency Transaction Notice, then, if, in the Company’s determination and at the Company’s sole discretion, it is necessary to prevent the issuance of any stop order or have a stop order lifted, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or any order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectuses or other prospectus in respect of the Offered Shares, a notice of objection of the Commission to the form of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, the suspension of any qualification for offering or sale in the United States or any Canadian Qualifying Jurisdiction, and, in the event of the issuance of any such stop order or any such order preventing or suspending the use of any prospectus relating to the Offered Shares or suspending any such qualification, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the lifting or withdrawal of such order as soon as possible.

(d)	Subsequent Changes. Within the time during which a prospectus relating to the Offered Shares is required to be delivered by the Agents under the U.S. Securities Laws (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 153, Rule 172 or Rule 173(a) under the Act) or the Canadian Securities Laws (disregarding, for such purpose, section 9.2(1) of NI 44-102), the Company will comply in all material respects with all requirements imposed upon it by Securities Laws, as appropriate and as from time to time in force, and will file or furnish on or before their respective due dates all reports required to be filed or furnished by it with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, if applicable, or any other provision of or under the Exchange Act or with any Canadian Qualifying Authority pursuant to the Canadian Securities Laws, as appropriate, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Offered Shares to be listed on NASDAQ. If during such period any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectuses as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then existing, not misleading, or if during such period it is necessary to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses to comply with the Act or the Canadian Securities Laws, the Company will promptly notify the Agents to suspend the offering of Offered Shares during such period and, if, in the Company’s determination and at the Company’s sole discretion, it is necessary to file an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses to comply with the Act or the Canadian Securities Laws, the Company will promptly prepare and file with the Canadian Qualifying Authorities and the Commission such amendment or supplement as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to make the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses comply with such requirements, and the Company will furnish to the Agents such number of copies of such amendment or supplement as the Agents may reasonably request. The Company will also timely file with NASDAQ all material documents and notices required by NASDAQ of companies that have or will issue securities that are traded on NASDAQ.

(e)	Delivery of Registration Statement and Prospectuses. The Company will furnish to the Agents and their counsel (at the expense of the Company) electronic copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectuses (including all documents incorporated by reference therein) and all amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the Prospectuses that are filed with the Commission or Canadian Qualifying Authorities during the period in which a prospectus relating to the Offered Shares is required to be delivered under U.S. Securities Laws (including all documents filed with the Commission during such period that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) or Canadian Securities Laws (including all documents filed with the Canadian Qualifying Authorities during such period that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein), in each case as soon as reasonably practicable and in such quantities as the Agents may from time to time reasonably request; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to furnish any documents to the Agents that are available on SEDAR+ or ▇▇▇▇▇.

(f)	Company Information. The Company will furnish to the Agents such information in its possession as is reasonably requested by the Agents as necessary or appropriate to fulfil their obligations as agents pursuant to this Agreement, the Act and Canadian Securities Laws.

(g)	Availability of Earnings Statements. The Company shall make generally available to holders of its securities and the Agents as soon as may be practicable but in no event later than the last day of the fifteenth full calendar month following the calendar quarter in which the most recent effective date of the Registration Statement occurs in accordance with Rule 158 of the Rules and Regulations, an earnings statement (which need not be audited but shall be in reasonable detail) covering a period of 12 months, and satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act (including Rule 158 of the Rules and Regulations).

(h)	Compliance with “Blue Sky” Laws. The Company shall cooperate with the Agents and their counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or the obtaining of exemptions therefrom) of the Offered Shares for the offering and sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States, and to continue such registration or qualification in effect so long as necessary under such laws for the distribution of the Offered Shares; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject (except service of process with respect to the offering and sale of the Offered Shares). The Company will advise the Agents promptly of the suspension of the qualification or registration of (or any exemption relating to) the Offered Shares for offering, sale or trading in any jurisdiction or any initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, and in the event of the issuance of any order suspending such qualification, registration or exemption, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal thereof as soon as reasonably practicable.

(i)	Material Non-public Information. The Company covenants that it will not issue an Agency Transaction Notice to an Agent in accordance with Section 1 hereof if the Company is in possession of material non-public information regarding the Company and the Material Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the Common Shares.

(j)	Reimbursement of Certain Expenses. Whether or not any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company shall pay, or reimburse if paid by the Agents, all costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, including, without limitation, costs and expenses of or relating to (i) the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration Statement and exhibits to it, each preliminary prospectus, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectuses and any amendment or supplement thereto and any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses, including the filing fees payable to the Commission relating to the Offered Shares within the time required by Rule 456 of the Rules and Regulations, (ii) the preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Offered Shares, (iii) the preparation of this Agreement, (iv) furnishing (including costs of shipping, mailing and courier) such copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectuses, any preliminary prospectus and any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto, as may be requested for use in connection with the Offering, (v) the listing of the Offered Shares on Cboe Canada or NASDAQ, (vi) any filings required to be made by the Agents with the Canadian Qualifying Authorities or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

(k)	Use of Proceeds. The Company shall apply the net proceeds from the offering and sale of the Offered Shares to be sold by the Company in the manner set forth in the Prospectuses under the heading “Use of Proceeds and Business Objective and Milestones” and the Company does not intend to use any of the proceeds from the sale of the Offered Shares to repay any outstanding debt owed to the Agents or any affiliate of the Agents.

(l)	Change of Circumstances. During the term of this Agreement, the Company will, at any time during a fiscal quarter in which the Company intends to deliver an Agency Transaction Notice to the Agents to sell Offered Shares, advise the Agents promptly after it has received notice or obtained knowledge thereof, of any information or fact that would alter or affect in any material respect any opinion, certificate, letter or other document provided to the Agents pursuant to this Agreement.

For greater certainty, the Company and the Agents agree that they do not intend that any failure by the Agents to conduct such reasonable investigation as necessary to provide the Agents with reasonable grounds for believing the Prospectuses contained no misrepresentation shall constitute “gross negligence”, “fraud” or “wilful misconduct” for the purposes of this Section 6 or otherwise disentitle the Agents from indemnification hereunder. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have.

(b)	Indemnification of the Company. Each Agent shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its agents, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each director of the Company and each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Agents, but only insofar as losses, claims, liabilities, expenses or damages arise out of or are based on any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity with information relating to an Agent furnished in writing to the Company by an Agent expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectuses. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability that the Agents might otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the names of the Agents set forth on the front and back covers and on the certificate of the Agents in the Prospectus Supplements constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Agents for inclusion in the Registration Statement, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectuses.

(c)	Indemnification Procedures. Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section 6 shall, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party or parties under this Section 6, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, enclosing a copy of all papers served, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provisions of this Section 6 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party or results in any increase in the liability under this indemnity that the indemnifying party would not otherwise have incurred had the indemnified party given the required notice. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of its commencement, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it elects by delivering written notice to the indemnified party promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action from the indemnified party, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense of the action, with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expenses except as provided below and except for the reasonable costs of investigation subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense. The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (iv) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, it is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time for all such indemnified parties in the event that the indemnifying party is responsible for such firm’s fees, disbursements and other charges pursuant to the foregoing sentence. All such fees, disbursements and other charges shall be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly as they are incurred. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 6 (whether or not any indemnified party is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (A) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim, action or proceeding and (B) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 6(c), the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (1) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (2) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (3) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

(d)

Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 6 is applicable in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable from the Company or the Agents, the Company and the Agents shall contribute to the total losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including, without limitation, any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted, but after deducting any contribution received by the Company from persons other than the Agents, such as persons who control the Company within the meaning of the Act, officers of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and directors of the Company, who also may be liable for contribution) to which the Company and the Agents may be subject in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other hand. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the sum of (i) the total compensation actually received by the Agents pursuant to Section 1(a)(ix) (in the case of one or more Agency Transactions hereunder) and (ii) the underwriting discounts and commissions actually received by the Agents as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectuses. If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Agents, on the other hand, with respect to the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations with respect to such offering. Such relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Agents, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 6(d) shall be deemed to include, for purpose of this Section 6(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), the Agents shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the sum of (i) the total compensation to the Agents pursuant to Section 1(a)(ix) (in the case of one or more Agency Transactions hereunder) and (ii) the underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Agents as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectuses, and no person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 6(d), any person who controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of the Act will have the same rights to contribution as that party, and each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions hereof. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this Section 6(d), will notify any such party from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission so to notify will not relieve the party from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it may have under this Section 6(d) unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in any increase in the liability to contribute pursuant to this Section 6(d) that the party would not otherwise have had the other contributing party given notice. No party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld).

7.	Termination.

(a)	The Company may terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time upon giving prior written notice to the Agents. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to the other party, except that (i) with respect to any pending sale, the obligations of the Company, including, without limitation, in respect of compensation of the Agents, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination; and (ii) the provisions of Sections 2 (Representations and Warranties of the Company), 3 (Agreements of the Company) (except that if no Offered Shares have been previously sold hereunder, only Section 3(j) (Reimbursement of Certain Expenses) shall survive), 6 (Indemnification), 8(b) (Consent to Jurisdiction), 8(c) (No Third Party Beneficiaries), 8(d) (Survival of Representations and Warranties), 8(e) (Disclaimer of Fiduciary Relationship), 8(f) (Governing Law) and 8(h) (Judgment Currency) of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

(b)	The Agents may terminate their obligations under this Agreement in their sole discretion at any time upon giving prior written notice to the Company. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to another party, except that (i) with respect to any pending sale, the obligations of the Company, including, without limitation, in respect of compensation of the Agents, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination; and (ii) the provisions of Sections 2 (Representations and Warranties of the Company), 3 (Agreements of the Company) (except that if no Offered Shares have been previously sold hereunder, only Section 3(j) (Reimbursement of Certain Expenses) shall survive), 6 (Indemnification), 8(b) (Consent to Jurisdiction), 8(c) (No Third Party Beneficiaries), 8(d) (Survival of Representations and Warranties), 8(e) (Disclaimer of Fiduciary Relationship), 8(f) (Governing Law) and 8(h) (Judgment Currency) of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

(c)	This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the earliest to occur of (i) termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7(a) or (b) above or otherwise by mutual written agreement of the parties, and (ii) such date that the aggregate gross sales proceeds of the Offered Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement equals the Maximum Amount, in each case except that (A) with respect to any pending sale, the obligations of the Company, including, without limitation, in respect of compensation of the Agents, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination; and (B) the provisions of Sections 2 (Representations and Warranties of the Company), 3 (Agreements of the Company) (except that if no Offered Shares have been previously sold hereunder, only Section 3(j) (Reimbursement of Certain Expenses) shall survive), 6 (Indemnification), 8(b) (Consent to Jurisdiction), 8(c) (No Third Party Beneficiaries), 8(d) (Survival of Representations and Warranties), 8(e) (Disclaimer of Fiduciary Relationship), 8(f) (Governing Law) and 8(h) (Judgment Currency) of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. The Company and the Agents agree that, if the Company files a new base shelf prospectus and prospectus supplement to such new base shelf prospectus, then this Agreement shall continue to apply, provided that (A) the parties hereto will make consequential amendments to this Agreement in respect thereof, and (B) pending such new base shelf prospectus and prospectus supplement being declared effective by the Reviewing Authority and receipts being issued or deemed to be issued by the Canadian Qualifying Authorities in respect of such new base shelf prospectus and prospectus supplement, no Agency Transaction Notice shall be given by the Company.

(d)	Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in the notice of termination; provided that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by the Agents or the Company, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Offered Shares, such sale shall settle in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.

(c)	No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Agents are acting solely in the capacity of arm’s length contractual counterparties to the Company with respect to the Offering contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as financial advisors or fiduciaries to, or agents of, the Company or any other person. Additionally, the Agents are not advising the Company or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Agents shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company with respect thereto.

The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Company and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.

(i)	Compliance with USA Patriot Act. In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub.
