The Agent further understands that, in filing the Base Shelf Prospectus, the Corporation has selected the BCSC (as defined herein) as the principal regulator under Part 3 of NP 11-202 (as defined herein).

Pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof, the Agent confirms that it is prepared to act as the sole and exclusive agent of the Corporation to offer subordinate voting shares in the capital of the Corporation (“Subordinate Voting Shares”) having an aggregate offering price of up to US$100,000,000 of Subordinate Voting Shares in the capital of the Corporation (the “Offered Shares”) for sale to the public from time to time under the Base Shelf Prospectus, as supplemented by a Prospectus Supplement (as defined herein), pursuant to “at-the-market distributions” within the meaning of NI 44-102 (as defined herein) during the period in which the Base Shelf Prospectus is effective, subject to earlier termination hereunder.

The Agent and the Corporation acknowledge and agree that this Agreement shall supersede and replace in all respects the equity distribution agreement between the Agent and the Corporation dated December 3, 2019 (the “Prior Agreement”) with respect to the distribution of the Offered Shares contemplated hereunder; provided, however, that for greater certainty, any liability or obligations arising under the Prior Agreement (including, without limitation, under Sections 10, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 19 thereof) shall continue to be in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. The Parties further confirm that, for the avoidance of doubt, the distribution of the Offered Shares contemplated under this Agreement shall only be effected under the Base Shelf Prospectus, Prospectus Supplement and Supplementary Material (each as defined herein), and not under similar documents contemplated in the Prior Agreement.

6.1 At any time while a Placement Notice is pending or effective (and not suspended), the Corporation or the Agent may, and, upon commencement of a No Trade Period, the Corporation shall, by written notice to the other Party addressed and sent by electronic mail (or such other method mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties) to its Designated Representatives, temporarily or indefinitely suspend any sale or further sale of Placement Shares under a Placement Notice, which notice shall be effective immediately, unless otherwise specified in the notice; provided, however, that any such suspension shall not affect any Party’s obligations with respect to any Placement Shares sold hereunder prior to the receipt of such notice. Any such notice shall set out the duration of such suspension or provide that such suspension is indefinite until further notice is provided by such Party. For greater certainty, in the event that the Agent is informed by the Corporation of the occurrence of one or more of the events described in Section 9.1(d), the Agent shall have the right to immediately suspend the sale of any Placement Shares. For greater certainty, a Placement Notice may specify a period or periods during which Placement Shares may not be sold, and in such case, the sale of Placement Shares under such Placement Notice shall be suspended during any such periods identified, and the Placement Notice itself shall constitute notice of the suspension(s) as contemplated above.

6.2 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any sale of Placement Shares made but not yet settled before a notice of suspension is given pursuant to Section 6.1 shall be settled in accordance with the provisions of Section 7, and the obligations of the Parties with respect to settling any such sale shall not be affected by the suspension.

6.3 Any notice of suspension provided pursuant to Section 6.1, including the reason for such notice of suspension, will be kept strictly confidential by the Agent and its affiliates and any Person acting on its behalf, unless: (i) such information is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Agent in violation of this Agreement; (ii) the disclosure of such information is expressly permitted, in writing, by the Corporation; or (iii) the disclosure of such information is required by applicable Securities Laws to which the Agent is subject or by order of a Governmental Body and pursuant to which the Agent is required to disclose such information.

7. SETTLEMENT AND DELIVERY OF PLACEMENT SHARES

7.1 Settlement for any sale of Placement Shares on the CSE or any other Marketplace shall occur on the second Trading Day (or such earlier day as is then current industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date on which the sale is made (each such Trading Day being a “Settlement Date”).

7.2 The amount of proceeds to be delivered to the Corporation on a Settlement Date (the “Net Proceeds”), payable against receipt by the Agent of the Placement Shares sold as provided herein, shall be equal to the aggregate sales price received by the Agent at which such Placement Shares were sold, less the Agent’s Fee payable by the Corporation in respect of such sales.

- 12 -

7.3 On each Settlement Date, the Corporation will issue and deliver (or cause to be issued and delivered) to the Agent the Placement Shares sold by the Agent against delivery by the Agent to the Corporation of the Net Proceeds from the sale of such Placement Shares, all in accordance with the Settlement Procedures.

7.4 If the Corporation defaults in its obligation to issue and deliver the Placement Shares on a Settlement Date, the Corporation agrees that:

(a) in the event the Agent has delivered to the Corporation the Net Proceeds from the sales of the Placement Shares on the applicable Settlement Date in accordance with the Settlement Procedures prior to the occurrence of such default, the Corporation will immediately return the full amount of such Net Proceeds to the Agent; and

(b) in the event that the Net Proceeds from sales of the Placement Shares are returned to the Agent pursuant to Section 7.4(a), provided that the Agent has delivered the Placement Shares to purchasers thereof on the applicable Settlement Date by way of an alternative settlement method, the Corporation will use its commercially reasonable efforts to issue and deliver (or cause to be issued and delivered) to the Agent an equivalent number of Offered Shares equal to the Placement Shares promptly in accordance with the Settlement Procedures, and the Agent will promptly thereafter deliver to the Corporation the amount of the Net Proceeds from such sales less the amount of any costs directly incurred by the Agent arising out of or in connection with the late delivery of such Placement Shares (including, reasonable legal fees and expenses and any commission, discount or other compensation to which it would otherwise be entitled absent such default), together with reasonable particulars of any such costs, or, at the election of the Agent, such costs may be separately invoiced to the Corporation.

7.5 The Agent covenants and agrees to copy or otherwise include the Corporation on all correspondence between the Agent and the Transfer Agent of the Corporation, in connection with or arising from or relating to the settlement (electronic or otherwise) of any sale of Placement Shares hereunder, and further, shall be responsible for taking all actions required to be taken by it within the applicable time periods to ensure that all sales of Placement Shares hereunder are settled without default in accordance with existing industry practice for regular-way trading.

8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE CORPORATION

8.1 The Corporation represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Agent that each of the matters set forth in Schedule C are true and correct and shall be true and correct (except only to the extent that any such representation is, by its express terms, limited to a specific date or, with respect to any such representation made or deemed to be made after the date hereof, as otherwise updated and expressly disclosed in a Placement Notice) as of: (a) the date of this Agreement; (b) the Filing Date; (c) each Representation Date on which a Bringdown Certificate is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 9.3; (d) each time a Placement Notice is delivered to the Agent or a suspended Placement Notice ceases to be suspended; (e) each Placement Time; and (f) each Settlement Date, and acknowledges that the Agent is relying upon these representations and warranties in connection with entering into this Agreement and performing its obligations hereunder.

8.2 Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Corporation acknowledges and agrees that all of its representations and warranties contained herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive, as of their respective dates, regardless of, and without mitigation, diminishment or restriction because of: (a) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent, the Agent’s counsel or any directors, officers, employees, control persons, representatives or advisors of the Agent, (b) delivery and acceptance of the Placement Shares and payment therefor; or (c) any termination of this Agreement.

9. COVENANTS OF THE CORPORATION

9.1 General. The Corporation covenants and agrees with the Agent that the Corporation will:

(a) prepare, and allow the Agent to participate in the preparation and approve the form of, the Prospectus Supplement and all other documentation required to be filed, delivered or disseminated under Securities Laws for any Placement of the Offered Shares;

(d) throughout any period during which a Placement Notice is pending or effective (and not suspended) and, if there is a period during which no Placement Notice is pending or effective or during which a Placement Notice is suspended, prior to the delivery of a new Placement Notice or a suspended Placement Notice ceasing to be suspended, promptly notify the Agent, in writing, with full particulars, of:

(iii) any material fact or any event, matter or circumstance which has been discovered but has not been disclosed in the Prospectus;

which is, or may be, of such a nature as to render the Prospectus (as the same exists at the time) misleading or untrue in any material respect or which would result in the Prospectus (as the same exists at the time) containing a misrepresentation (including, for greater certainty, an omission to state a material fact that is required to be stated, or that

- 14 -

is necessary to be stated in order for an included statement not to be misleading) or which would result in the Prospectus (as the same exists at the time) not complying with any of the laws, regulations or policy statements of any Qualifying Authority or which would reasonably be expected to have a significant effect on the market price or value of the Subordinate Voting Shares. In addition, during such period, the Corporation shall in good faith discuss with the Agent and its counsel any change in circumstances (actual or anticipated) relating to the business, affairs, operations, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise) or capital of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries, if any, which is of such a nature that there is or could be reasonable doubt as to whether any notice need to be given to the Agent pursuant to this Section and, in any event, prior to filing any Supplementary Material;

(iv) promptly advise the Agent of the filing of (and, if applicable, granting of a receipt for) the Supplementary Material, and furnish the Agent with true and complete copies thereof;

(g) promptly furnish to the Agent copies of any statements, reports, circulars or other records or communications (including any such materials that constitute Supplementary Material) that the Corporation sends to its securityholders or may from time to time publish or publicly disseminate if same are not available to the public on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com;

(h) allow the Agent and its representatives to conduct all “due diligence” inquiries and investigations that the Agent may reasonably require, and to obtain satisfactory responses and results therefrom, in order for the Agent to fulfill its obligations as an “underwriter” within the meaning of Securities Laws and to enable the Agent to responsibly sign any certificate required to be signed by the Agent in the Prospectus Supplement;

(i) without limiting the generality of Section 9.1(h) or the scope of the inquiries and investigations that the Agent may conduct for the purposes set forth therein, prior to the Filing Date and during each successive notice period referred to in Section 4.8 in connection with the proposed delivery of a Placement Notice and each time the

(j) comply with all Securities Laws so as to permit Placements as contemplated in this Agreement and the Prospectus Supplement;

(k) throughout any period during which a Placement Notice is pending or effective, not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in, or that has constituted or might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization, maintenance or manipulation of the price of the Subordinate Voting Shares;

(l) file or deliver, within the time limits prescribed by and otherwise in accordance with Securities Laws, all statements, reports, circulars or other records required to be filed or delivered by the Corporation with or to any of the Qualifying Authorities pursuant to Securities Laws;

(m) throughout any period during which a Placement Notice is pending or effective (and not suspended) and prior to the delivery of a new Placement Notice or a suspended Placement Notice ceasing to be suspended, promptly inform the Agent of:

13.5 Unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 13.1, Section 13.2 or Section 13.3 or otherwise by mutual agreement of the Parties, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the earlier of the date on which:

(b) the receipt issued for the Base Shelf Prospectus ceases to be effective in accordance with Securities Laws.

13.6 Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, but subject to the express provisions with respect to survival in such sections, the provisions of Section 8, Section 10, Section 12, Section 14 and Section 16 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding termination of this Agreement, and any mutual agreement to terminate shall be deemed to so provide.

- 25 -

entertain any action arising hereunder. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario for the adjudication of any dispute arising hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.

17. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES

17.1 The Corporation acknowledges and agrees that, subject to Section 2.2:

(a) the Agent has been retained solely to act as firm underwriter (as that term is used in the Act), as agent and not as principal, in connection with the sale of the Offered Shares, and that no fiduciary relationship between the Corporation and the Agent has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, irrespective of whether the Agent has advised or is advising the Corporation on other matters;

(b) the Corporation is capable of evaluating and understanding and does understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(c) the Corporation has been advised that the Agent and its affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Corporation, and that the Agent has no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Corporation by virtue of any fiduciary relationship; and

(d) it waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Agent for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty, and agrees that the Agent shall not have liability (whether direct or indirect) to it in respect of any such claim or to any Person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Corporation, including securityholders, employees or creditors of the Corporation.

17.2 This Agreement is not intended to create, and shall not be construed or deemed to create, a partnership or joint venture between the Parties.

18. FORCE MAJEURE

18.1 No Party shall be liable to any of the others, or held in breach of this Agreement, if prevented, hindered or delayed in the performance or observance of any provision contained herein by reason of an act of a Force Majeure. Performance times under this Agreement shall be extended for a period of time equivalent to the time lost because of any delay that is excusable under this Section 18, subject in any case to Securities Laws.

18.2 For the purposes of this Agreement, “Force Majeure” shall mean an event, condition or circumstance (and the effect thereof including mechanical, electronic or communication interruptions, disruptions or failures resulting from any of the foregoing) that is not within the reasonable control of the Party claiming a Force Majeure and which, notwithstanding the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts to prevent such event, condition or circumstance or mitigate the effect thereof (which each Party hereby covenants to exercise), the Party claiming a Force Majeure is unable to prevent or mitigate the effect thereof, and which thus causes a delay or disruption in the performance of any obligation imposed on such Party hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, such events of Force Majeure shall include strikes, lock-outs, work stoppages, work slow-downs, industrial disturbances, storms, fires, floods, landslides, snowslides, earthquakes, explosions,

- 26 -

lightning, tempest, accidents, epidemics, acts of war (whether declared or undeclared), threats of war, actions of terrorists, blockades, riots, insurrections, civil commotions, public demonstrations, revolution, sabotage or vandalism, acts of God, any laws, rules, regulations, orders, directives, restraints or other actions issued, imposed or taken by any Governmental Body following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and inability to obtain, maintain or renew or delay in obtaining, maintaining or renewing necessary permits or approvals (after using reasonable commercial efforts to do so) following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, or any cause similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that a Party’s own lack of funds or other financial problems shall in no event constitute Force Majeure in respect of such Party.

19. GENERAL

19.1 Except as required by law or the policies of the CSE (which the Parties acknowledge will, among other things, require this Agreement to be filed on SEDAR and a press release regarding this Agreement), no public announcement or press release concerning this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may be made by a Party without the prior consent and approval of the other Party, which consent and approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

19.2 This Agreement (including all schedules attached hereto), any Placement Notices issued pursuant hereto and any Settlement Procedures agreed to by the Parties constitute the entire agreement between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and supersede all other prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations and undertakings (both written and oral) between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof.

19.3 No amendment to this Agreement shall be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and executed by the Parties. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement will be effective or binding unless made in writing and signed by the Party purporting to give the same and, unless otherwise provided, will be limited to the specific breach waived.

19.4 If any one or more of the provisions hereof, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such provision shall be given full force and effect to the fullest possible extent that it is valid, legal and enforceable, and the remainder of the provisions hereof shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision was not and had never been contained herein, but only to the extent that giving effect to such provision and the remainder of the terms and provisions hereof shall be in accordance with the intent of the Parties as reflected in this Agreement.

19.5 Without limiting Section 19.4, if one or more of the provisions hereof conflicts with any legal or regulatory requirement to which this Agreement and the relationship of the Parties hereunder are properly subject, then such legal or regulatory requirement shall prevail and the Parties shall forthwith meet and negotiate in good faith the manner in which this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent required to eliminate any such conflict.

19.6 The rights and remedies of the Parties hereunder are cumulative and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or otherwise. No single or partial exercise by a Party of any right or remedy precludes or otherwise affects the exercise of any other right or remedy to which that Party shall be entitled.

19.7 Each Party shall from time to time execute and deliver all such further documents and instruments and do all acts and things as any of the other Parties may reasonably require to effectively carry out or better evidence or perfect the full intent and meaning of this Agreement.

19.8 Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.

- 27 -

19.9 This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed Agreement by one Party to the other may be made by facsimile or other electronic transmission.

If the foregoing correctly sets forth the understanding between the Corporation and the Agent, please confirm your acceptance and agreement by executing a copy of this letter in the space provided below for that purpose and delivering the same to the Agent, whereupon this letter shall constitute a binding agreement between the Corporation and the Agent.

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

1. INDEMNIFICATION

1.1 Indemnification of Agent. The Corporation (the “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, the directors, officers, partners, employees and agents of the Agent and each Person, if any, who (i) controls the Agent within the meaning of the Act, or (ii) is controlled by or is under common control with the Agent (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties” and individually, an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all costs, charges, expenses, losses (other than losses of profit in connection with the distribution of the Offered Shares), claims, actions, suits, proceedings, damages or liabilities, joint or several (including, if settled in accordance with the terms hereof, the aggregate amount paid in reasonable settlement of any actions, suits, proceedings or claims) and the reasonable fees and disbursements and taxes of their counsel that may be incurred in advising with respect to and/or defending any action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim that may be made or threatened against any Indemnified Party in enforcing this indemnity (collectively, the “Claims”), whether under the provisions of any statute or otherwise, and which are caused or incurred by or arise, directly or indirectly, by reason of:

(a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus, or in any other material or document filed under any Securities Laws or delivered by or on behalf of the Corporation pursuant to this Agreement or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or any misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation contained therein;

(b) any breach by the Corporation of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement including any default by the Corporation of its obligation to issue and deliver to the Agent any Placement Shares on the applicable Settlement Date in accordance with the Settlement Procedures;

(c) any inaccuracy or misrepresentation in any representation or warranty of the Corporation set forth in Schedule C of the Agreement or in any certificate of the Corporation delivered pursuant to this Agreement;

(d) the failure by the Corporation to comply with any applicable requirement of Securities Laws in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or

(e) any order or any inquiry, investigation or proceeding instituted, threatened or announced by any Governmental Body, based upon any untrue statement, omission or misrepresentation contained in the Prospectus, preventing or restricting the trading in or the sale of distribution of the Offered Shares;

provided, however, that the indemnity in this Section 1.1 shall not apply to Claims arising out of or based, directly or indirectly, on any untrue statement, omission or misrepresentation, or any alleged untrue statement, omission or misrepresentation, made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to the Agent and furnished in writing to the Corporation by the Agent expressly for use in the Prospectus, or in any other material or document filed under any Securities Laws or delivered by or on behalf of the Agent pursuant to this Agreement, or in the event and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment from which no appeal can be made or a regulatory authority in a final ruling from which no appeal can be made shall determine that the Claim resulted from the fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Indemnified Party claiming indemnity (provided that for greater certainty, an Indemnified Party’s failure to

- 3 -

conduct such reasonable investigation so as to provide reasonable grounds for a belief that the Prospectus contained no misrepresentation (or, colloquially, to permit the Indemnified Party to sustain a “due diligence defence” under Securities Laws) shall not constitute “fraud”, “willful misconduct” or “gross negligence” for purposes of this Section 1.1 or otherwise disentitle an Indemnified Party from claiming indemnification). This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability that the Corporation might otherwise have.

1.2 Actions Against Parties; Notification. Each Indemnified Party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to the Indemnifying Party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. If any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of its commencement, the Indemnifying Party shall 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, to assume the defense of the action, with counsel reasonably 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 shall 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 shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (a) the employment of counsel by the Indemnified Party has been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party, (b) the Indemnified Party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party) 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, (c) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on written 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 (d) the Indemnifying Party has not in fact employed counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, 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 and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. All such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party promptly as they are incurred. In no event shall the Indemnifying Party be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local or special counsel) separate from their own counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. Neither the Indemnifying Party nor any of the Indemnified Parties shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Parties, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 1 or Section 2 of this Schedule F (whether or not the Indemnified Parties are actual or potential parties thereto), provided that the Indemnifying Party may consent to any such settlement, compromise or consent, without the consent of the Indemnified Parties, where such settlement, compromise or consent (y) includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (z) 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.

1.3 If any legal proceedings shall be instituted against the Corporation or if any regulatory authority or stock exchange shall carry out an investigation of the Corporation and, in either case, any Indemnified Party is required to testify, or respond to procedures designed to discover information, in connection with or by reason of the services performed by the Agent hereunder, then the Indemnified Parties may employ their own legal counsel and the Corporation shall pay and

- 4 -

reimburse the Indemnified Parties for the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements (on a full indemnity basis) of such legal counsel, the other expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with such proceedings or investigation and a fee at the normal per diem rate for any director, officer or employee of the Agent involved in the preparation for or attendance at such proceedings or investigation. However, the Corporation shall not, in connection with any such proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related proceedings arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees or expenses of more than one separate law firm in respect of all such Indemnified Parties.

2. CONTRIBUTION

2.1 If the indemnification provided for in Section 1 above is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any Claims referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Party in respect of which indemnity has been sought shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such Claims incurred by such Indemnified Party, as incurred, (a) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Corporation on the one hand and the Agent on the other hand from the offering of the Offered Shares pursuant to this Agreement or (b) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (a) above but also the relative fault of the Corporation on the one hand and of the Agent on the other hand in connection with the statement, omission or misrepresentation or the matters referred to in Section 1.1(b) and Section 1.1(c) above, which resulted in such Claim, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

2.2 The relative benefits received by the Corporation on the one hand and the Agent on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Offered Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the sale of the Offered Shares pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Corporation bear to the total compensation (before deducting expenses) received by the Agent from the sale of the Offered Shares on behalf of the Corporation.

2.3 The relative fault of the Corporation on the one hand and the Agent on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation relates to information supplied or which ought to have been supplied by the Corporation or by the Agent and the Parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, omission or misrepresentation.

2.4 The Corporation and the Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 2. The aggregate amount of the Claims incurred by an Indemnified Party and referred to above in this Section 2 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission or misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation. The rights to contribution provided in this Section 2 shall be in addition to and without prejudice to any other right to contribution which the Agent may have.

2.5 Notwithstanding the provision of this Section 2, the Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the Agent’s Fee received by it in respect of the sale of Offered Shares on behalf of the Corporation and no party who has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment to have engaged in any fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or gross negligence (provided that for greater certainty, the Agent’s failure to conduct such reasonable investigation so as to provide reasonable grounds for a belief that the Prospectus contained no

misrepresentation (or colloquially, to permit the Agent to sustain a “due diligence defence” under Securities Laws) shall not constitute “gross negligence” for purposes of this Section 2.5 or otherwise disentitle an Indemnified Person from claiming indemnification) shall be entitled to contribution any Person who has not been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment to have engaged in such fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or gross negligence.

2.6 For purposes of this Section 2, each Person, if any, who controls the Agent and each affiliate of the Agent, and any directors, officers, partners, employees or agents of the Agent, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Agent, subject in each case to the provisions of this Section 2.

2.7 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 2, will notify any such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify will not relieve that party or parties from who contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have under this Section 2 except to the extent that the failure to so notify such other party or parties materially prejudiced the substantive rights or defenses of the party or parties from whom contribution is sought. Except for a settlement entered into pursuant to Section 1.3 above, no party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent if such consent is required pursuant to Section 1.3 above.

3. THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES

3.1 It is the intention of the parties hereto that the directors, officers, partners, employees and agents of the Agent and the affiliates of the Agent (the “Agent Beneficiaries”) shall be entitled to the benefit of the covenants of the Corporation under Section 1 or Section 2 of this Schedule F, and for this purpose the Corporation hereby: (a) appoint the Agent, and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment, as trustee of the covenants of the Corporation under Section 1 or Section 2 for the benefit of the Agent Beneficiaries; and (b) acknowledges and agrees that the Agent shall be entitled to enforce such covenants on behalf of the Agent Beneficiaries notwithstanding that none of the Agent Beneficiaries is a direct party to this Agreement.
