- 35 -

  (a)

any untrue statement or misrepresentation or alleged untrue statement or alleged misrepresentation (except any statement relating solely to the Agents or the Selling Group Members and provided in writing by the Agents or the Selling Group Members) of a material fact contained in the Prospectus, the U.S. Final Prospectus, the Registration Statement, any Supplementary Material, or in any certificate of the Indemnitor delivered under this Agreement or pursuant to this Agreement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact (except facts relating solely to the Agents and provided in writing by the Agents) necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made;

     
  (b)

any material breach by the Indemnitor of any term of or any representation, warranty, covenant or condition in this Agreement or of any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

     
  (c)

any material breach or violation or any alleged material breach or violation by the Indemnitor of Securities Laws or applicable TSXV requirements; or

     
  (d)

any order made or any inquiry, investigation or other proceeding (formal and informal) announced, instituted or threatened by any securities commission or other regulatory authority or stock exchange based upon the circumstances described in (a) above, preventing, prohibiting or restricting the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the trading of the Debentures or the Common Shares or the distribution to the public of the Debentures in any of the Qualifying Jurisdictions, provided that, in the event and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction or a regulatory authority shall determine that such Claims resulted from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party, subject to the right of the Agents and the Selling Group Members to appeal such decision, this indemnity shall not apply.

The rights of indemnity contained in subparagraph (a) of this Section 11.1 shall not apply to the Agent to the extent the Indemnitor has complied with the provisions of Article 6 and the Agent has not provided to the person asserting any Claim contemplated by this Section 11.1 a copy of the Prospectus or any Supplementary Material, which corrects any misrepresentation, untrue statement or omission, or alleged misrepresentation, untrue statement or omission which is the basis of such Claim and which is required, under applicable Securities Laws, to be delivered to such person.

11.2

If any Claim is brought, instituted or threatened in respect of any Indemnified Party which may result in a claim for indemnification under this Agreement, or an Indemnified Party has received notice of the commencement of any investigation in respect of which indemnify may be sought against the Indemnitor, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnitor prompt written notice of any such Claim of which the Indemnified Party has knowledge and the Indemnitor shall be entitled (but not required) to assume conduct of the defence thereof and retain counsel on behalf of the Indemnified Party who is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, to represent the Indemnified Party in such Claim and the Indemnitor shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel and all other expenses of the Indemnified Party relating to such Claim as and when incurred. Failure by the Idemnified Party to so notify the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor from liability except and only to the extent that the failure prejudices the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor assumes conduct of the defence for an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall fully cooperate in the defence including, without limitation, the provision of documents, appropriate officers and employees to give witness statements, attend examinations for discovery, make affidavits, meet with counsel, testify and divulge all information reasonably required to defend or prosecute the Claims.



- 36 -

11.3

In any such Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defence thereof provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless the named parties to any such Claim include both the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party and the representation of both parties by the same counsel, in the written opinion of the Indemnified Party’s counsel, would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them and in such circumstances the Indemnitor will pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such additional legal counsel as and when incurred, provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall only be obligated to pay for one set of counsel for all Indemnified Parties (in addition to counsel retained by the Indemnitor).

   
11.4

No admission of liability and no settlement of any Claim by the Indemnitor shall be made without the consent of the Indemnified Parties affected, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No admission of liability shall be made by an Indemnified Party without the consent of the Indemnitor and the Indemnitor shall not be liable for any settlement of any Claim made without the Indemnitor’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

   
11.5

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which this indemnity would otherwise be available in accordance with its terms but is, for any reason, held to be unavailable to or unenforceable by the Indemnified Parties or enforceable otherwise than in accordance with its terms, the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Parties will contribute to the Claims in such proportions as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to and fault of the Indemnitor, on the one hand, and each Indemnified Party on the other hand, in connection with the matter giving rise to such Claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that the Agents and the Selling Group Members shall not in any event be liable to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount of the Agents’ Fee. No person who has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment to have engaged in any fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or gross negligence shall be entitled to claim contribution from any person who has not been so determined to have engaged in such fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or gross negligence.



- 37 -

11.6

The relative benefits received by the Indemnitor on the one hand and the Indemnified Parties on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the proportion that the total proceeds received from the offer and sale of the Debentures received by the Indemnitor (net of the Agents’ Fee but before deducting expenses) is to the Agents’ Fee received by the Agents.

   
11.7

The relative fault of the Indemnitor on the one hand and the Indemnified Parties on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the matters or things referred to in Section 11.1 which resulted in such Claims relate to information supplied by or steps or actions taken or done or not taken or done by or on behalf of the Indemnitor or to information supplied by or steps taken or actions taken or done or not taken or done by or on behalf of the Agents and the Selling Group Members and the relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, omission or misrepresentation, or other matter or thing referred to in Section 11.1.

   
11.8

The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this section were determined by any method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in this section.

   
11.9

In the event and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgement that has become non-appealable determines that an Indemnified Party was grossly negligent, fraudulent or guilty of wilful misconduct in connection with a Claim in respect of which the Indemnitor has advanced funds to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this indemnity, such Indemnified Party shall reimburse such funds to the Indemnitor and thereafter this indemnity shall not apply to such Indemnified Party in respect of such Claim. The Indemnitor agrees to waive any right the Indemnitor might have of first requiring the Indemnified Party to proceed against or enforce any other right, power, remedy or security or claim payment from any other person before claiming under this indemnity.

   
11.10

The rights to contribution provided in Section 11.5 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other right to contribution which the Indemnified Parties may have by statute or otherwise at law or in equity. Subject to Section 11.5, the Indemnitor waives all rights of contribution that it may have against any Indemnified Party relating to any Claim in respect of which the Indemnitor has agreed to indemnify the Indemnified Parties hereunder.

   
11.11

The Lead Agent shall act as trustee for the Agents, the Selling Group Members and for the Agents’ and Selling Group Members’ respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents of the covenants of the Indemnitor under this Article 11 with respect to such persons and accept the trust and shall hold and enforce the covenants on behalf of such persons.

   
11.12

Subject to Section 11.3, if any Claim is brought in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Agents or the Selling Group Members are required to testify in connection therewith or are required to respond to procedures designed to discover information relating thereto, the Agents and the Selling Group Members will have the right, subject to Section 11.3 hereof, to employ its own counsel in connection therewith, and the fees and disbursements of such counsel in connection therewith as well as the reasonable fees at a reasonable per diem rate for its directors, officers, employees and agents involved in preparation for and attendance at such proceedings or in so responding and any other reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in connection therewith will be paid by the Indemnitor as and when they are incurred.



- 38 -

Accordingly, there may be situations where these divisions, business groups and affiliates and/or their clients either now have or may in the future have interests, or take actions, that may conflict with the interests of the Corporation, and the Corporation agrees that such divisions, business groups and affiliates, and their clients, may hold such positions, effect such transactions and take such other actions without regard to the Corporation’s interests. In addition, research analysts of each of the Agents and their respective affiliates may hold and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Corporation, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other party involved in such transactions that differ from or are inconsistent with the views or advice communicated by the Agents. The Corporation acknowledges and agrees that the Selling Group Members may be similarly situated. The Corporation agrees that the Agents, the Selling Group Members and their affiliates may undertake any business activity (including, without limitation, performing the same or similar engagements for other clients in the Corporation’s industry) without further consultation with or notification to the Corporation. Furthermore, the Corporation agrees that the Agents, the Selling Group Members and their affiliates shall not have a duty to disclose to the Corporation or use on behalf of the Corporation any information whatsoever about, relating to or derived from those activities.
