Seller has had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from representatives of Buyer and Buyer Parent concerning the investment in the Buyer Shares. Seller acknowledges that it has conducted its own (and relied solely on its own) independent due diligence investigation with respect to Buyer, Buyer Parent, the Buyer Shares constituting the Share Consideration (and the valuation thereof), and any other matter which Seller believes to be material to its decision to invest in Buyer Parent, and Seller has been given access to and the opportunity to examine data and information relating to Buyer and Buyer Parent. Seller is not relying upon any oral or written representations or assurances from Buyer, Buyer Parent or any other Person or any representative of Buyer or Buyer Parent or any other Person other than those that are set forth in or described and referred to in this Agreement. Seller has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that Seller is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Buyer Shares constituting the Share Consideration, evaluating the value ascribed to the Buyer Shares constituting the Share Consideration and is able, without impairing Seller’s financial condition, to hold such securities for an indefinite period of time and to bear the economic risks, and withstand a complete loss, of such investment.

(d) SELLER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NEITHER BUYER NOR ANY PERSON ACTING ON SUCH PERSON’S BEHALF HAS MADE ANY REPRESENTATION REGARDING BUYER’S PROJECTIONS, AND SELLER UNDERSTANDS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BUYER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY SUCH REPRESENTATIONS.

(e) Seller understands and acknowledges that the Buyer Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement have not been, or will not be, registered under the Securities Act, or under any state securities laws, and no registration statement or prospectus in respect thereof will be prepared or filed under the Securities Act or applicable securities laws, and that the Buyer Shares are being offered and sold in reliance upon federal and state exemptions for transactions not involving any public offering, thus the Buyer Shares are “restricted securities,” as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and will be subject to restrictions on resale under such laws and as set forth in the restrictive legends set forth below. As a condition of receiving Buyer Shares at Closing, Seller shall be required to deliver a statement as to its status as an “accredited investor,” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, together with any supporting information as reasonably requested by Buyer and Buyer Parent that upon the original issuance of the Buyer Shares, and until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act or applicable securities laws, the certificates representing the Buyer Shares, and all securities issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, will bear legends in substantially the following form:

“THESE SHARES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND ARE “RESTRICTED SECURITIES” AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER, THE AVAILABILITY OF WHICH IS TO BE ESTABLISHED TO THE REASONABLE SATISFACTION OF COUNSEL TO THE ISSUER.”

Seller covenants that the Buyer Shares will only be disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Buyer Shares other than pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or to Buyer or Buyer Parent, Buyer Parent may require the transferor to provide to Buyer Parent an opinion of counsel selected by Seller, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to Buyer Parent, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act.

(f) Seller consents to Buyer Parent making a notation on its respective records or giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Buyer Shares in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth and described herein.

(g) Seller is not acquiring the Buyer Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding such shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media, broadcast over television or radio, disseminated over the Internet or presented at any seminar or, to Seller’s knowledge, any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

9

(h) Seller’s offices in which its investment decision with respect to the Buyer Shares was made are located within the city and state of the Seller’s address for notices hereunder set forth in Section 9.02.

(i) Seller is acquiring the Buyer Shares in the ordinary course of business for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered under the Securities Act or under an exemption from such registration and in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, and Seller does not have a present arrangement to effect any distribution of the Buyer Shares to or through any person or entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, Seller does not agree to hold any of the Buyer Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of such shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

(j) Seller hereunder understands that the Buyer Shares are being issued pursuant to an exemption from the prospectus requirements of the securities laws in Canada. Seller acknowledges that Buyer Parent and Buyer will rely on Seller’s representations, warranties and certifications set forth below for purposes of confirming the availability of any exemption from such prospectus requirements. Seller has not received a document purporting to describe the business and affairs of Buyer or Buyer Parent that has been prepared primarily for delivery to and review by prospective investors so as to assist those investors to make an investment decision in respect of Buyer Parent under the terms of this Agreement. Seller acknowledges that it is eligible to acquire the Buyer Shares pursuant to the exemption from the prospectus requirements of Canadian securities laws found in s. 2.3 of Ontario Securities Commission Rule 72-503 – Distributions Outside Canada and Seller represents and warrants to Buyer Parent and Buyer that Seller is not a resident of a jurisdiction of Canada on the date hereof and will not be a resident of a jurisdiction of Canada on the date on which the Buyer Shares are issued and delivered to Seller in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Seller understands the risks involved in an investment in the Buyer Shares pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Seller further represents that Seller has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from Buyer Parent regarding the Buyer Shares and the business, properties, prospects, and financial condition of Buyer Parent and Buyer, and to obtain such additional information (to the extent Buyer Parent or Buyer possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to assist Seller in verifying the accuracy of any information furnished to Seller or to which Seller had access.

(k) Seller acknowledges that (i) it has been provided with the opportunity to consult its own legal advisors with respect to the Buyer Shares issuable to Seller pursuant to this Agreement and with respect to the existence of resale restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws; (ii) no representation has been made respecting the applicable holding periods imposed by the securities laws or other resale restrictions applicable to the Buyer Shares which restrict the ability of Seller to resell such securities; (iii) Seller is solely responsible to find out what these restrictions are; (iv) Seller is solely responsible (and Buyer Parent is not in any way responsible) for compliance with applicable resale restrictions; and (v) Seller is aware that Seller may not be able to resell the Buyer Shares, except in accordance with limited exemptions under the securities laws.

15

(ii) become an officer, director, stockholder, sole proprietor, owner, partner, member, or investor in, or otherwise acquire or hold (of record, beneficially or otherwise) any direct or indirect interest in, any Person that engages directly or indirectly in Competition in any Restricted Territory; provided, however, that the Restricted Beneficial Owner may, without violating this Section 5.04(a)(ii), own, as a passive investment, shares of capital stock of a publicly-held corporation that engages in Competition if (i) such shares are actively traded on an established national securities market in the United States or in a foreign jurisdiction, (ii) the number of shares of such corporation’s capital stock that are owned beneficially (directly or indirectly) by the Restricted Beneficial Owner and the number of shares of such corporation’s capital stock that are owned beneficially (directly or indirectly) by the Restricted Beneficial Owner’s Affiliates collectively represent less than one percent (1%) of the total number of shares of such corporation’s capital stock outstanding, and (iii) neither the Restricted Beneficial Owner nor any Affiliate of the Restricted Beneficial Owner is otherwise associated directly or indirectly with such corporation or with any Affiliate of such corporation.

(e) For the purposes of this Section 5.04, the covenants contained in this Section 5.04 shall be construed as if each covenant is divided into separate and distinct covenants with respect to each capacity in which Seller and the Restricted Beneficial Owner is prohibited from competing and each part of the Restricted Territory. Each such covenant shall constitute separate and several covenants distinct from all other such covenants. In addition, in the event any covenant or other provision contained herein shall be deemed to be illegal, unenforceable or unreasonable by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction with respect to any part of the Restricted Territory, such covenant or provision shall not be affected with respect to any and all other parts of the Restricted Territory, and each of the parties to this Agreement agrees and submits to the reduction of said territorial restriction to such an area as said court shall deem reasonable.

Accordingly, it is expressly agreed that, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity (including, without limitation, money damages from the Restricted Beneficial Owner), Buyer shall be entitled to seek the remedy of a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or such other form of injunctive or equitable relief as may be used by any court of competent jurisdiction to restrain or enjoin Seller and the Restricted Beneficial Owner from breaching any such covenant or provision or to specifically enforce the provisions hereof.

(b) In the case of Straddle Period Taxes, the portion of any such Tax that is allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed equal to the amount of such Straddle Period Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Straddle Period ending on, and including, the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period (any remaining Straddle Period Taxes for such Straddle Period shall be allocable to the period beginning after the Closing Date). Seller shall be responsible for and shall pay all Straddle Period Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period and Seller shall promptly reimburse Buyer for any such Straddle Period Taxes paid by Buyer.

(c) Buyer and Seller shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors and other representatives to reasonably cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns and in resolving all disputes and audits with respect to all taxable periods relating to Taxes for taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date or Straddle Periods, including by retaining, maintaining and making available to each other all records to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with Taxes and making employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information or explanation or to testify at proceedings relating to Taxes.

(d) After the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall promptly notify the other party in writing upon receipt of any written notice of any pending or threatened audit or assessment, suit, proposed adjustment, deficiency, dispute, administrative or judicial proceeding or similar claim relating to Taxes with respect to Losses for which Seller could be liable pursuant to this Agreement (each, a “Tax Claim”); provided, however, that Buyer’s delay or failure to so notify Seller shall only relieve Seller of its obligations to the extent, if at all, that they are materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure.

If any governmental authority asserts that Seller is liable for any such Tax, Seller shall promptly pay any and all such amounts and shall provide evidence to Buyer that such liabilities have been paid in full or otherwise satisfied.

(g) If there is any inconsistency between a provision of this Section 5.04(h)(vii) and a provision of the remainder of this Agreement with respect to Tax matters, the provisions of this Section 5.04(h)(vii) shall prevail.

Section 5.06 Registration Rights.

(a) Registration Statement.

(i) As promptly as possible after the Closing, Buyer Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement covering the resale of all Registrable Shares issued at Closing.

(ii) Buyer Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as possible after the filing thereof and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) such time as all Registrable Shares covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or (ii) the date that all Registrable Shares covered by such Registration Statement may be sold by non-affiliates without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 without the requirement for Buyer Parent to be in compliance with the current public information requirement of Rule 144 as determined by counsel to Buyer Parent pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed, delivered and acceptable to Buyer Parent’s transfer agent (the “Effectiveness Period”).

(iii) Buyer Parent shall notify Seller in writing promptly (and in any event within one Trading Day) after receiving notification from the SEC that the Registration Statement has been declared effective.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer Parent may, by prompt written notice to Seller, suspend sales under a Registration Statement after the Effective Date thereof and/or require that Seller immediately cease the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant thereto and/or defer the filing of any subsequent Registration Statement if Buyer Parent’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, that (A) it would be materially detrimental to Buyer Parent to maintain a Registration Statement at such time or (B) it is in the best interests of Buyer Parent to suspend sales under such registration at such time. Upon receipt of such notice, Seller shall immediately discontinue any sales of Registrable Shares pursuant to such registration until Seller is advised in writing by Buyer Parent that the current Prospectus or amended Prospectus, as applicable, may be used. In no event, however, shall this right be exercised to suspend sales beyond the period during which (in the good faith determination of Buyer Parent’s Board of Directors) the failure to require such suspension would be materially detrimental to Buyer Parent. Immediately after the end of any suspension period under this Section 5.06(d), Buyer Parent shall take all necessary actions (including filing any required supplemental prospectus) to restore the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement and the ability of Seller to publicly resell its Registrable Shares pursuant to such effective Registration Statement.

(v) If at any time the SEC takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Shares in a Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act or requires Seller to be named as an “underwriter,” Buyer Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to persuade the SEC that the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that Seller is not an “underwriter.” In the event that the SEC refuses to alter its position, Buyer Parent shall (i) remove from the Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Shares (the “Cut Back Shares”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Shares as the SEC may require to assure Buyer Parent’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the “SEC Restrictions”); provided, however, that Buyer Parent shall not agree to name Seller as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of Seller. From and after the date Buyer Parent is able to effect the registration of such Cut Back Shares in accordance with any SEC Restrictions applicable to such Cut

20

Back Shares, all of the provisions of this Section 5.06 (including Buyer Parent’s obligations with respect to the filing of a Registration Statement and its obligations to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective within the time periods set forth herein) shall again be applicable to such Cut Back Shares.

(b) Registration Procedures. In connection with Buyer Parent’s registration obligations hereunder, Buyer Parent shall:

(i) (1) Subject to Section 5.06(a)(iv), prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective, as to the applicable Registrable Shares for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the SEC such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Shares; (2) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (3) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the SEC with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto; and (4) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Shares covered by a Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by Seller thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.

(ii) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (1) any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, or (2) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Shares for sale in any jurisdiction, as soon as possible.

(c) Registration Expenses. Buyer Parent shall pay all fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with Section 5.06 of this Agreement by Buyer Parent, including without limitation (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses, including without limitation those related to filings with the SEC, any Trading Market and in connection with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws, (ii) printing expenses, (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for Buyer Parent, (v) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by Buyer Parent in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 5.06, (vi) all fees and expenses of Buyer Parent’s transfer agent and (vii) all listing fees to be paid by Buyer Parent to the Trading Market.

(d) Information; Dispositions.

No agreements or covenants contained herein shall survive the Closing other than those agreements and covenants that by their terms or nature contemplate performance after the Closing, which surviving agreements and covenants shall survive indefinitely or for the period explicitly specified therein, if any.

Section 7.02 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VII, Seller shall, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.06 defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates and their respective stockholders, directors, officers and employees from and against all claims, judgments, damages, liabilities, settlements, losses, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Losses”, provided that Losses shall not include incidental, special, or punitive damages, except in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation or to the extent actually awarded to a governmental authority or other third party), arising from or relating to:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement or any Seller Document;

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement or any Seller Document; or

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or any Buyer Document; or

Section 7.04 Indemnification Procedures. Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification hereunder, the party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly provide written notice of such claim to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”). In connection with any claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or arising out of any Action by a Person who is not a party to this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party, at its sole cost and expense and upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, may assume the defense of any such Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such Action, with its counsel and at its own cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such Action, the Indemnified Party may, but shall not be obligated to, defend against such Action in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such Action, after giving notice of it to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate and no action taken by the Indemnified Party in accordance with such defense and settlement shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations herein provided with respect to any damages resulting therefrom. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Action without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). This Section 7.04 shall not apply to Tax Claims, the procedures for which are set forth in Section 5.05(e).

25

Section 7.05 Payments.

(a) All indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article VII (i) if due and payable by Seller, shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with wire transfer instructions provided by Buyer; and (ii) if due and payable by Buyer, shall be paid with a number of Buyer Shares equal to such indemnified amount divided by the Closing Buyer Share Price, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with wire transfer instructions provided by Seller.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 7.05(a), for so long as the Holdback Amount is available, all indemnification payments due and payable by Seller shall first be drawn by Buyer from and shall reduce the Holdback Amount by such number of Buyer Shares valued at the Closing Buyer Share Price, rounded down to the nearest whole share, and second, shall be satisfied by claims directly against Seller.

Section 7.06 Certain Limitations. The indemnification rights provided in this Article VII, Section 7.02 and Section 7.03 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Parties may not recover any Losses under this Agreement (other than in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation) in an aggregate amount in excess of the Purchase Price actually paid hereunder.

(b) An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for indemnification hereunder until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of such indemnification obligation exceeds $15,000, in which event such Indemnifying Party shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar.

(c) No claim for indemnification under this Article VII shall be brought hereunder for breach of a representation or warranty after the lapse of the applicable period of survival for such representation or warranty set forth in Section 7.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a written notice alleging the existence of an inaccuracy in or a breach of any of the representations and warranties is made by a party asserting a claim for recovery under Article VII, then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved.

Section 7.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made by Seller under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax and financial reporting purposes, unless otherwise required by law. In the event that such a payment cannot be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, then Seller shall further indemnify Buyer for any Tax cost incurred by Buyer arising from the receipt of such indemnification payments (and the receipt of additional amounts pursuant to this sentence).

Section 7.08 Effect of Investigation. Buyer’s right to indemnification or other remedy based on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Seller contained herein will not be affected by any investigation conducted by Buyer with respect to, or any knowledge acquired by Buyer at any time, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

26

Section 7.09 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 5.04 and Section 9.13, the terms and conditions of which provide certain remedies in the event of a breach thereof, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth herein or in any Seller Document shall be pursuant to the indemnification and setoff provisions set forth in this Article VII, except for in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth herein or in any Seller Document it may have against the other parties and their Affiliates and each of their respective representatives arising under or based upon any law, except pursuant to the indemnification and setoff provisions set forth in this Article VII. Nothing in this Section 7.09 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled, or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent or criminal conduct.
