SCHEDULE B

DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISIONS INCLUDING BINDING ARBITRATION
(International)

NOTE:  THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS A LIMITATION PERIOD OF SIX MONTHS AND LIMITS ALL REMEDIES FOR AMOUNTS OVER $25,000 TO THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE WITHOUT ANY RIGHT TO LITIGATE IN COURT

IMPORTANT SUMMARY OF SCHEDULE B
DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISIONS INCLUDING BINDING ARBITRATION

Summary:  This Dispute Resolution procedure is summarized as follows and requires the initials and signatures on behalf of the parties before and after and shall be taken as conclusive proof of the awareness and understanding of the parties to their rights and obligations:


(Initial)_____________         (Initial)___________
  Haderer                  Costerd

SUMMARY OF
DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISIONS INCLUDING BINDING ARBITRATION
NOTICE OF LIMITATION DEADLINE TO RESOLVE DISPUTES

The following notes are provided as a caution to the Parties and so that they will know their rights and obligations.  They summarize the Dispute Resolution Provisions below in Schedule B which prevail over this summary in interpreting the limitation deadline provisions for Dispute Resolution, so reference ought to be made to them.

THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A LIMITATION DEADLINE WITHIN WHICH TO MAKE CLAIMS AND RESOLVE DISPUTES: 

DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISIONS INCLUDING BINDING ARBITRATION.

The Dispute Resolution process replaces litigation and seeks fair, reasonable and expeditious resolution of disputes:  it has three steps which must be done or attempted in order:  section B.1, B.2., B.4.1(b).  

1.    The first step is Senior Level Settlement Negotiation:  section B.3 PART I (a).

The key document WHICH MUST BE DONE TO START THIS AND ALL LATER STEPS, and which must be done within time, is the “Dispute Notice Within The Limitation Time”.  This written Notice also suspends the time limitation deadline while the parties are trying to resolve the dispute so no advantage can be gained by delaying tactics:  section B.3
 
 
Page - 39

 
 
(a).  A sample form of the Notice is in the final attachment to the Agreement at the last page of the Agreement.  Any similar notice will do.

2.    The second step is non-binding Interest-Based Mediation: section B.3 PART I (b) & (c). 

If the Senior Level Settlement Negotiation does not resolve matters the Claimant may choose to quit or to mediate.

3.    The third step is binding Arbitration:  Part II, section B.4. 

Section B.4.2 provides two deadlines for demanding Arbitration:

 
(a)within 30 days after the conclusion of the Mediation (B.4.2(a)), which presumably did not lead to a successful negotiated settlement or Arbitration would not be necessary; and
 
(b)not later than SIX (6) MONTHS after the later of
 
(i)when the claim arose and
 
(ii)when it was known OR REASONABLY OUGHT TO HAVE BEEN KNOWN by the Claimant.  

This six-month period is automatically extended for whatever time it has taken from the date of service of the “Dispute Notice Within The Limitation Time” to start Senior Level Settlement Negotiation until the conclusion of the unsuccessful Mediation.

If a Claimant misses either one of the Arbitration deadlines, the Claimant's claim is finished and dismissed, the Claimant has no other avenue for relief and cannot go to Court to litigate the claim.

If a Claimant wrongfully attempts to litigate first, then the Claimant is also deemed thereby to have elected irrevocably to abandon any relief by Arbitration but the Claimant is still bound by all of the Arbitration provisions which say a Claimant is not permitted to litigate.  In effect, when the Court dismisses the Claimant's claim because it must do so and cannot hear any such litigation, then the Claimant has no other avenue for relief and cannot come back and try Arbitration.  Thus a Claimant litigates at the Claimant's own peril, such that by breaching the covenant not to litigate the Claimant has given up all other right of recourse.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISIONS IN DETAIL

B.1    Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration:  In the event of dispute the Parties agree to submit such issues for resolution in accordance with these Dispute Resolution provisions, and shall proceed through each of the following three steps in order as far as necessary to resolve the dispute, subject to the complainant's right at any time to withdraw its complaint; the three successive steps are:
 
(a)senior level settlement negotiation as set out in Part I below,
 
(b)mediation as set out in Part I below, and failing resolution then  
 
(c)arbitration, which shall be final and binding upon the Parties without appeal and without resort to the Court upon any grounds whatever, such as questions of law or mixed fact and law, including not challenging the jurisdiction of the arbitrator upon any grounds whatever, such arbitration process to be in the form and manner set out in Part II below.  

B.2    Limiting Rights:  The Parties acknowledge and agree that they each are limiting all of their rights of review, interpretation and decision to final and binding arbitration and have no other recourse to resolve any dispute or controversy between them arising out of or connected with this Agreement.  They do so knowing that they may be giving up substantial rights in favour of speedy, inexpensive and certain resolution of any dispute among them, such prompt and certain resolution being most desirable according to the interests of each.  Further, the language of this provision and that of the Dispute Resolution provisions shall not be construed or interpreted in favour of or against any Party on the basis of authorship or draftsmanship, it being agreed that this provision and the Dispute Resolution provisions comprise an instrument resulting from the common desire and effort of all of the Parties.

B.3    PART ISenior Level Settlement Negotiation and Mediation

The following shall be attempted prior to any arbitration:

Senior Level Settlement Negotiation

(a)    In the event of any dispute, controversy or claim (a “Dispute”) arising out of or in relation to this Agreement or any related agreement or subcontract specifically referred to in this Agreement, or the performance, non-performance, breach, termination, or invalidity hereof or thereof, the Dispute shall be the subject of an attempt at an amicable solution, for which purpose any Party may give WRITTEN AND DATED NOTICE to the other Parties (“DISPUTE NOTICE WITHIN THE LIMITATION TIME” or “Notice”), setting out:

 
(i)a concise description of the Dispute,
 
(ii)the position of such Party in respect thereof, and copies of any documents in support of that position;
 
(iii)details proposing a meeting among the principals of the Corporation or representatives of the shareholders, or their designees (the “Senior Officers”).  Such meeting shall be held in Calgary, Alberta or such other place as the Parties may agree for the purpose of resolving the Dispute, and
 
(iv)the following LIMITATION NOTICE, or equivalent:

THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A LIMITATION DEADLINE WITHIN WHICH TO MAKE CLAIMS AND RESOLVE DISPUTES IN: 

DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISIONS INCLUDING BINDING ARBITRATION

The Dispute Resolution process replaces litigation and has three steps which must be done or attempted in order:  section B.1, B.2., B.4.1(b).

1.    The first step is Senior Level Settlement Negotiation:  section B.3 PART I (a).

The key document WHICH MUST BE DONE TO START THIS AND ALL LATER STEPS, and which must be within time, is the “Dispute Notice Within The Limitation Time”.  This written Notice also suspends the time limitation deadline while the parties are trying to resolve the dispute so no advantage can be gained by delaying tactics:  section B.3 (a).  A sample form of the Notice is in the final page of the Agreement.

2.    The second step is non-binding Interest-Based Mediation: section B.3 PART I (b) & (c).

If the Senior Level Settlement Negotiation does not resolve matters the Claimant may choose to quit or to mediate.

3.    The third step is binding Arbitration:  Part II, section B.4. 
Section B.4.2 provides two deadlines for demanding Arbitration:

 
(a)    within 30 days after the conclusion of the Mediation (B.4.2(a)), which presumably did not lead to a successful negotiated settlement or Arbitration would not be necessary; and
 
(b)    not later than SIX (6) MONTHS after the later of
 
(i)    when the claim arose and
 
(ii)    when it was known OR REASONABLY OUGHT TO HAVE BEEN KNOWN by the Claimant.

This six-month period is automatically extended for whatever time it has taken from the date of service of the “Dispute Notice Within The Limitation Time” to start Senior Level Settlement Negotiation until the conclusion of the unsuccessful Mediation.
 
 
Page - 43

 

Within 15 days after delivery of the Notice, each receiving Party shall submit to the other Parties a written response, setting forth the position of the receiving Party in respect of the Dispute and providing copies of any supporting documentation.

(b)    If such meeting is called, the meeting shall take place within 30 days of its being requested.  If such meeting does not take place within such 30 days or if within 15 days after such meeting the Senior Officers have not resolved the Dispute, then the Dispute shall, upon the written request of any Party, be referred to mediation in accordance with subsection (c) hereof or, failing any such resolution by mediation, settled by arbitration in accordance with the remaining provisions of this Article.  

Interest-Based Non-Binding Mediation

(c)    If a Party requests that a Dispute be referred to mediation, there shall be one qualified, experienced mediator who shall be impartial and shall be independent of and have had no financial connection with any Party.  Should the services of an appointing authority be necessary, the appointing authority shall be a Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta.

The Parties shall have 15 days from the date of the request of mediation to agree among themselves on the appointment of the mediator.  If, after such 15 day period, the Parties have not agreed on such appointment then a Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta shall appoint the mediator.  The mediator may not serve as an arbitrator in any arbitration of the Dispute.  The mediation result, if any, is not binding unless and until such agreement is reduced to writing signed by all Parties thereto.    

(d)    All negotiations, including any offers of settlement or compromise, undertaken pursuant to this Part I shall be on a “without prejudice” basis and shall not be admissible in any subsequent arbitration or other proceeding.  

B.4    Part IIBinding Arbitration

No matter maybe submitted to arbitration until Part I has been complied with and mediation has either failed or been waived expressly in writing or by necessary implication from the conduct of the party adverse in interest to the party seeking arbitration.

B.4.1    Matters to be Submitted to Arbitration:

SCHEDULE D

INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS

D.1    Notice of Claims: Assumption of Defence:  The party entitled to indemnification pursuant to the Agreement (the "Indemnified Party") shall give prompt notice to the party who is obligated to indemnify (the "Indemnifying Party") of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding by any Person, in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, specifying with reasonable particularity the basis therefor and giving the Indemnifying Party such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request (but the giving of such notice shall not be a condition precedent to indemnification hereunder). The Indemnifying Party may, at its own expense, participate in and, upon notice to the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party's written agreement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article for losses arising out of such claim, suit, action or proceeding, at any time during the course of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, assume the defence thereof; provided that the Indemnifying Party's counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall thereafter consult with the Indemnified Party upon the Indemnified Party's reasonable request for such consultation from time to time with respect to such claim, suit, action or proceeding. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the duty to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, all of the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.

D.2    Settlement or Compromise:  Any settlement or compromise made or caused to be made by the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding shall also be binding upon the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise. No party shall settle or compromise any claim, suit, action or proceeding without the prior written consent of the other party.

D.3     Failure to Give Timely Notice:  A failure to give timely notice as provided in this Schedule shall not affect the rights or obligations of any Party except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any Party which was entitled to receive such notice was deprived of its right to recover any payment under its applicable insurance coverage or was otherwise directly and materially damaged as a result of such failure.

D.4    Failure of Indemnifying Party to Act:  In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume the defense of any claim, suit, action or proceeding, then any failure of the Indemnified Party to defend or to participate in the defense of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding or to cause the same to be done, shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder.
 
 
Page - 58

 

D.5    Reductions and Subrogation:  If the amount of any loss at any time subsequent to the time of making any payment under this section is reduced by

 
(a)    any net tax benefit to the Indemnified Party, or

 
(b)    any recovery, settlement or otherwise under or pursuant to any non-life insurance coverage,

the amount of such reduction (less any costs, expenses (including taxes) or premiums incurred in connection therewith) together with interest thereon from the date of payment thereof at Prime Rate shall promptly be repaid by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifier. Upon making a full payment under this section, the Indemnifying Party shall, to the extent of such indemnity, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party against any third party that is not an Affiliate of the Indemnified Party in respect of the loss to which the payment made under this section relates but only if the Indemnifying Party shall then be in compliance with its obligations under this Agreement in respect of such loss.

D.6    Interest:  All losses shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus two (2%) per cent per annum, calculated and payable monthly, both before and after judgment, with interest on overdue interest at the same rate, from the date that the Indemnified Party disbursed funds, suffered damages or losses or incurred a loss, liability or expense in respect of a loss, to the date of payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party.

D.7     Rights in Addition:  The rights of indemnity set forth in this section are in addition and supplemental to any other rights, actions, claims or causes of action which may arise in respect of this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby.

D.8    Set-Off:  The Indemnifying Party may set off against any amount due hereunder or otherwise to Indemnified Party. The right to obtain payment on account of the liability of Indemnified Party for losses by setting off all or part of such losses against amounts otherwise due to such parties, shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its continuing liability to indemnify the Indemnified Party in the event that the amounts otherwise due to such parties at any time are not sufficient to pay off and discharge completely the losses suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Party.

SCHEDULE E
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL PROVISIONS

E.1    Offer: If Shenin acquires additional Property, it shall offer in writing to the Buyer at least a 90% undivided interest in the Property (the “Offer”) at whatever price it chooses and the Offer shall remain open for acceptance for ninety (90) days.

E.2    Contents of Offer: The Offer shall include all of the following:

 
(a)    it shall be for not less than an undivided 90% interest in the Property; if it is for more, the Buyer may elect to purchase only the undivided 90% interest and such shall not be considered a counteroffer, but an acceptance of the Offer to purchase an undivided  90% interest in the Property;

 
(b)    have attached thereto a summary of the features of the Property, supported by a copy of all information material and relevant to the Property in the possession or control of the Shenin at the time of the Offer, and if such information is no longer in the possession or control of Shenin, then advice as to its last known whereabouts; and

 
(c)    contain a bona fide cash equivalent as determined by Shenin of any consideration proposed to be paid to Shenin which is other than cash, and shall set forth the method of computing such cash equivalent.

E.3    Alternatives for Buyer:  The Buyer may accept the Offer to the extent of an undivided 90% interest in the Property or to the extent of more if more is offered, reject the Offer, make a counteroffer in which case the Offer dies, or do nothing and let the Offer expire.

E.4    Acceptance:  If the Offer is accepted, it shall close in accordance with its terms within thirty (30) days of the date of acceptance.

E.5    No Acceptance:  If the Offer is not accepted by the Buyer in time, then Shenin is free to sell the whole 100% of its Interest, or any portion of its Interest, for a price and upon terms no less favourable than that made in the Offer or upon price and terms commercially equivalent thereto or greater than the Offer in the commercially reasonable opinion of Shenin.  If the price and terms are not identical to the Offer, they must be disclosed to the Buyer.  Such disclosure does not constitute an Offer, but may afford grounds to invoke the Dispute Resolution Provisions of Schedule B.  If the proposed third party purchaser is not at arm’s length (within the meaning of the Canadian Tax Act) with Shenin, then Shenin shall disclose fully the relationship with the proposed third party purchaser, and such third party purchaser may only purchase if it covenants not to resell the whole or the portion of the Interest acquired for less than it paid for one year from the date of acquisition.
 
 
Page - 60

 

E.6    Renewed Offer: If Shenin wishes to sell or dispose of or effect the transfer of the Shenin Interest in the Property, for a lower amount or different price and terms, then these provisions shall again apply to any subsequent sale, transfer or disposition of the Interest and so on from time to time.
