5 | 15

There is no action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Seller, threatened, against or affecting any of the Seller, which questions the validity of the purchase and sale of the Securities or any action taken or to be taken by any of the Seller pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) Stabilization. The Seller has not taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities, provided however, that an Affiliate of the Seller may have taken such actions in the ordinary course of its business as an underwriter or market maker of Common Shares.
