Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Facility Letter, the Borrower acknowledges that: (i) the applicable rate of interest payable by the Borrower in connection with this Facility Letter shall not be less than zero, even if a reference rate used for the calculation of such interest, or the total of the reference rate and applicable interest spread, is less than zero; and (ii) the Bank may, in its discretion, and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower to, make an advance under the Credit Facilities (or debit or set-off any bank account of the Borrower with the Bank), to pay any unpaid interest, fees or other amounts which have become due under the terms of this Facility Letter.
(g)
The Borrower acknowledges that the actual recording of the amount of any advance or repayment thereof under the Credit Facilities, and interest, fees and other amounts due in connection with the Credit Facilities, in an account of the Borrower maintained by the Bank shall constitute prima facie evidence of the Borrower's indebtedness and liability from time to time under the Credit Facilities; provided that the obligation of the Borrower to pay or repay any obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Credit Facilities shall not be affected by the failure of the Bank to make such recording.

any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceedings by or against the Borrower.

The Bank agrees to provide written notice to the Borrower of the exercise of any of the rights under this section promptly after the exercise of such rights.
(j)
The Borrower shall pay to and indemnify and save harmless the Bank for the full amount of all out of pocket costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, any interest payable in order to maintain any Loan hereunder) which the Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of the failure by the Borrower to pay when due any principal of or any interest on any Loan or any other amount due hereunder.

However, in the event that any payments made under this Facility Letter shall not be made free and clear of and exempt from, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, then the Borrower shall gross up the payments to the Bank so that the Bank receives such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that each such net payment to the Bank, after payment or deduction or withholding for and on account of any such Taxes, will not be less than the amount to be paid and received by the Bank in accordance with this Facility Letter. With respect to each such deduction or withholding, the Borrower shall promptly pay any such Taxes and (but in no event later than 90 days after payment) furnish to the Bank evidence of such payment, satisfactory to the Bank and also at the Bank's request provide such certificates, receipts and other documents required to establish any tax credit to which the Bank may be entitled.

payment of the Foreign Currency Obligation made hereunder shall be made in immediately available funds in lawful money of the jurisdiction in the currency of which the Foreign Currency Obligation is payable (the "Foreign currency") in such form as shall be customary at the time of payment for settlement of international payments in Vancouver, British Columbia without set-off, compensation, or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present and future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges and withholdings with respect thereto.
(ii)
if the Borrower makes payment to the Bank, or if an amount is applied by the Bank, in CAD in circumstances where the relevant indebtedness and liabilities constitute a Foreign Currency Obligation, such payment or amount shall satisfy the said liability of the Borrower hereunder only to the extent that the Bank is able, using the rate of exchange applied by the Bank in accordance with its normal banking procedures, to purchase the full amount of the relevant Foreign Currency owing with the amount of the CAD received by the Bank on the date of receipt, and the Borrower shall remain liable to and hereby agrees to indemnify the Bank for any deficiency (together with interest accruing thereon calculated and payable pursuant to the terms of the relevant underlying indebtedness and liabilities).
(iii)
the Borrower shall indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from any loss incurred by the Bank arising from any change in the value of CAD in relation to the relevant Foreign Currency between the date the Foreign Currency Obligation becomes due and the date of full, final and indefeasible payment thereof to the Bank.
(iv)
if for the purpose of commencing any proceeding against the Borrower to enforce payment of its indebtedness and liability under the Credit Facilities it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in a Foreign Currency into CAD, the rate of exchange used for purposes of commencing such proceeding shall be the rate of exchange at which in accordance with its normal banking procedures the Bank could purchase CAD with such Foreign Currency amount claimed to be due hereunder on the Business Day preceding that on which proceeding is commenced.
(v)
The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Bank hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in CAD, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Bank of any sum adjudged to be so due in CAD the Bank may in accordance with its normal banking procedures purchase the relevant Foreign Currency in the full amount owing to the Bank with the CAD; if the amount of such Foreign Currency so purchased is less than the sum actually due to the Bank in such Foreign Currency the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Bank against such loss and if the Foreign Currency

11

purchased exceeds the sum actually due to the Bank in the Foreign Currency, the Bank agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower as the Borrower may be entitled thereto.
(g)
The Borrower confirms that it will (i) not use any amounts advanced or seek advances under the Credit Facilities for any illegal purpose or (a) to fund any activity or business with any person or in any country or territory that is the subject or target of Sanctions or (b) in any manner that would result in a violation of Sanctions by any person (including any lender, advisor, or otherwise) and (ii) not repay any amounts owing to the Bank using any funds derived directly or indirectly from any illegal or sanctionable activity, provided that this covenant shall be inapplicable only to the extent of any relevant violation of the Foreign Extra-Territorial Measures Act (Canada) or any similar applicable anti-boycott law or regulation.

Environmental Matters
(a)
To the best of the Borrower's knowledge after due and diligent inquiry, no regulated, hazardous or toxic substances are being stored on any of the Borrower's !ands, facilities or premises (the "Premises") or any adjacent property, nor have any such substances been stored or used on the Premises or in the Borrower's business or any adjacent property prior to the Borrower's ownership, possession or control of the Premises. The Borrower agrees to provide written notice to the Bank immediately upon the Borrower becoming aware that the Premises or any adjacent property are being or have been contaminated with regulated, hazardous or toxic substances. The Borrower shall not permit any activities on the Premises which directly or indirectly could result in the Premises or any other property being contaminated with regulated, hazardous or toxic substances. For the purposes of this Facility Letter, the term "regulated, hazardous or toxic substances" means any substance, defined or designated as hazardous or toxic wastes, hazardous or toxic material, a hazardous, toxic or radioactive substance or other similar term, by any Legal Requirement now or in the future in effect, or any substance or materials, the use or disposition of which is regulated by any such Legal Requirement.
(b)
The Borrower shall promptly comply with all Legal Requirements relating to the use, collection, storage, treatment, control, removal or cleanup of regulated, hazardous or toxic substances in, on, or under the Premises or in, on or under any adjacent property that becomes contaminated with regulated, hazardous or toxic substances as a result of construction, operations or other activities on, or the contamination of, the Premises, or incorporated in any improvements thereon. The Bank may, but shall not be obligated to, enter upon the Premises and take such actions and incur such costs and expenses to effect such compliance as it deems advisable and the Borrower shall reimburse the Bank on demand for the full amount of all costs and expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with such compliance activities.
(c)
The property of the Borrower which are now or in the future encumbered by any one or more of the Loan Documents are hereby further mortgaged and charged to the Bank, and the Bank shall have a security interest in such assets, as security for the repayment of such costs and expenses and interest thereon, as if such costs and expenses had originally formed part of the Credit Facilities.
VII.
Increased Cost Indemnities.
If any change in the applicable Legal Requirements or in their interpretation or the administration of any of them by any Governmental Authority, or compliance by the Bank with any request (whether or not having the force of law) of any relevant central bank or other comparable agency or Governmental Authority, shall change the basis of taxation of payments to the Bank of the principal of or interest on the Loans or any other amounts payable under this Facility Letter (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or profits of the Bank) or shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposits or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by the Bank or shall impose on the Bank or the London interbank market any other conditions directly affecting this Facility Letter or the Loans, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Bank of making the Loans or maintaining the Loans or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Bank under this Facility Letter by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then the Borrower shall, upon receiving notice from the Bank, reimburse to the Bank, on demand by the Bank, such amount or amounts as will compensate the Bank for such additional cost or reduction. A certificate of a manager or account manager of the Bank setting forth the additional amounts necessary to compensate the Bank as aforesaid, and the basis for its determination, shall be conclusive as to the determination of such amount in the absence of manifest error.

In consideration of HSBC Bank Canada (the "Bank") providing the above-noted account(s) (each, an "Account") for the undersigned (the "Borrower"), the Borrower agrees with the Bank as follows:
1.
For the purposes of this Agreement:
(a)
"Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or statutory (or civic) holiday, on which the Bank is open for business at the above Bank Branch;
(b)
"Loan" means at any time the amount by which: (i) the aggregate amount debited to the Account whether with respect to cheques, withdrawals, preauthorized payments, and other authorized debit entries, electronic transfers and any other orders or instructions for the payment of money or transfer of funds (collectively referred to as "Payment Items") together with (ii) interest, service charges and fees imposed by the Bank, and debited to the Account exceeds the aggregate at such time of all amounts credited to that Account;
(c)
"Prime Rate" means the variable annual rate of interest established and adjusted by the Bank from time to time as a reference rate for purposes of determining rates of interest it will charge on commercial loans in Canada denominated in Canadian dollars, but in no event shall such rate be less than zero for the purposes of this Agreement;

(g)
"U.S. Base Rate" means the variable annual rate of interest established and recorded by the Bank from time to time as a reference rate for the purposes of determining rates of interest it will charge on loans in Canada denominated in USD, based on a 360 day year, but in no event shall such rate be less than zero for the purposes of this Agreement;
(h)
"USD Spot Rate of Exchange" means the rate of exchange quoted by the Bank for the purchase of USD currency with the relevant non USD currency at the time in question, including all premiums and costs;

PURSUANT TO 17 C.F.R. SECTION 200.83


(i)
all Loan advances by the Bank and all payments to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall, unless otherwise expressly stated herein, be made in the currency of the relevant Account, as designated above, being either USD or CAD, and all references to "Account" shall refer to the account in the currency of the Loan unless otherwise stated; and
(j)
all words denoting the singular shall be pluralized throughout this Agreement as the context requires and all words denoting gender shall be construed as the context requires and will include a body corporate where the context requires.
2.
The Bank is hereby authorized, but is not obligated, to make Loans available in sufficient funds to cover the debit balance in Account(s) from time to time.
3.
Interest shall accrue and the Borrower shall pay interest to the Bank, on the daily closing balance of the Loan: (i) if in CAD at a floating rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus the percentage noted above, (ii) if in USD at a floating rate per annum equal to the US Base Rate plus the percentage noted above, (or at such other rate as may be amended from time to time in writing between the Bank and the Borrower) in both instances accruing daily and calculated and payable monthly, on the last day of each and every month in arrears, both before and after demand for repayment, termination of the Account or judgment, and until final indefeasible payment of the Loan in full. A certificate of a vice-president of the Bank shall be conclusive evidence of the Prime Rate or U.S. Base Rate at any particular time. For the purpose of the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rate of interest to which interest calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days is equivalent, is such rate of interest multiplied by the actual number of days in such year divided by 360.
4.
The Borrower shall pay to the Bank on the last day of each and every month from the date of this Agreement until this Agreement is terminated, a monthly fee in the amount set out above. It is understood by the Borrower that the monthly fee is in addition to all other charges payable by the Borrower under any other agreement or agreements entered into with the Bank.

The Bank may debit the Account monthly with the amount of all interest (including compound interest) payable by the Borrower to the Bank pursuant to this Agreement as well as the monthly fee described above and other charges payable by the Borrower, and, when incurred, the amount of all legal fees and costs (if any) incurred by or on behalf of the Bank with respect to the Borrower, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Bank to do so. Without limiting any rights of the Bank arising by law, the Bank shall also be entitled to set off all or any portion of a Loan outstanding from time to time against credit balances in any account of the Borrower at the Bank or against any other money which may from time to time be owing to the Borrower from the Bank, irrespective of currency, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Bank to do so.
6.
The Borrower shall not permit the aggregate outstanding balance of the Loan at any time to exceed the Loan Limit applicable to the Account, as set out above, nor any margin requirements which may be imposed by the Bank in relation to outstanding indebtedness and liability of the Borrower to the Bank pursuant to any credit agreement, facility letter or other agreement between them (the "Margin Requirement"). The Bank may refuse to honour any Payment Item and may refuse to permit any withdrawal or transfer from the Account if the aggregate outstanding balance of the Loan, together with the amount of issued letters of credit or letters of guarantee and all other liabilities or contingent liabilities incurred by the Bank on behalf of the Borrower, plus the risk component identified in each foreign exchange forward contract issued by the Bank on behalf of the Borrower exceeds, or would exceed (as a result of any such Payment Item, withdrawal or transfer) the Loan Limit or the Margin Requirement. This Agreement shall continue to apply to the Loan and to the Borrower notwithstanding any Loan in excess of the Loan Limit or Margin Requirement.
For greater certainty, the Bank may charge its standard fees for each Payment Item that exceeds the Loan Limit and/or Margin Requirement, and interest on any such excess, in an amount and at the rate set out in the Bank's Commercial Services Charge Brochure or other similar publication.
7.
The Borrower shall use the Account and incur each Loan solely for business purposes. The Borrower shall not use the proceeds from any Loan for any illegal purpose and shall not repay the Loan or make deposits to the Account that are derived from any illegal activity.
8.
The Borrower shall deliver to the Bank from time to time, promptly on request by the Bank and in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank, a demand promissory note or other acknowledgement of debt evidencing the amount of all indebtedness and liability then owing by the Borrower to the Bank pursuant to or in respect of this Agreement. In the event that any such promissory note or any other acknowledgement of debt, security or other document is requested by the Bank, the Bank shall not be obligated to honour any Payment Item or permit any withdrawal or other debit to the Account nor make any Loan until such promissory note, other acknowledgement of debt, security or other document is delivered to the Bank.

9.
The Borrower shall comply with all present and future agreements between the Borrower and the Bank including any operation of account agreement between the Borrower and the Bank; provided that in the event there exists any conflict between any provision of such operation of account agreement (or other agreement) and the corresponding provision hereof, the applicable provisions of this Agreement shall govern.
10.
The Bank shall have the right at any time in its discretion for any reason to reduce the Loan Limit or cancel availability of Loans under this Agreement (and return unpaid any Payment Item presented for payment and decline any request for withdrawal or transfer of funds from an Account for which sufficient funds or credit is not available) or demand immediate payment of the aggregate outstanding amount of a Loan, or any part thereof, together with interest, fees, charges and costs outstanding hereunder and the Borrower shall forthwith comply with any such demand. In addition, and without diminishing the Bank's right to reduce the Loan Limit or demand repayment at any time for any reason, the Loan and all other amounts payable by the Borrower to the Bank pursuant to this Agreement shall at the Bank's option forthwith become due and payable without notice or demand if:
(a)
the Borrower fails to pay when due any amount owing by the Borrower to the Bank pursuant to this Agreement or if the Borrower defaults pursuant to any other provisions of this Agreement;

(f)
any indebtedness owing by the Borrower to any other creditor of the Borrower is in default.
In addition, the Bank may at any time terminate this Agreement in the Bank's sole discretion three days after notice of such termination is delivered to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, in which event all Loans then outstanding and other amounts payable by the Borrower to the Bank pursuant to this Agreement shall (if not due and payable prior to such time) in the Bank's discretion forthwith become due and payable.
11
Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, such termination shall not relieve the Borrower of any obligations and liabilities which it has incurred to the Bank pursuant to this Agreement whether before or after such termination.
12.
Upon receipt from or electronic posting by the Bank each month of a statement of the Account and any Payment Items (or copies or images thereof), the Borrower shall check the credit and debit entries on the statement and review the Payment Items. The Borrower shall promptly notify the Bank in writing of any errors, irregularities or omissions. Thirty days following delivery or posting of the statement, it shall be conclusively settled as between the Bank and the Borrower that the statement and the amount of the balance shown thereon is correct (except as to any errors, irregularities or omissions of which the Customer has notified the Bank) and the said Payment Items and other debits are genuine and properly charged against the Account and that the Borrower was not entitled to be credited with any amount not credited. For greater certainty, the Bank shall not, in any legal action to which the Bank is a party, be required to prove the existence of any transaction which is disclosed by any such statement or the accuracy of any such statement.
13.
If more than one Borrower signs this Agreement:
(a)
the obligations of each Borrower pursuant to this Agreement are joint and several;
(b)
