About HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd.

HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. went public in 2017 as the first cryptocurrency mining company listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange with a focus on sustainable green energy.

HIVE is a growth-oriented technology stock in the emergent blockchain industry. As a company whose shares trade on a major stock exchange, we are building a bridge between the digital currency and blockchain sector and traditional capital markets. HIVE owns and operates predominantly green energy-powered data centre facilities in Canada, Sweden, and Iceland, where we endeavour to source green energy to mine digital assets such as Bitcoin on the cloud. Since the beginning of 2021, HIVE has held in secure storage the majority of its treasury of BTC derived from mining rewards. Our shares provide investors with exposure to the operating margins of digital currency mining, as well as a portfolio of Bitcoin. Because HIVE also owns hard assets such as data centers and advanced multi-use servers, we believe our shares offer investors an attractive way to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency space.

Environmental Sustainability:

Green Energy: By sourcing green renewable energy, HIVE is committed to environmental responsibility, positioning itself as a leader in sustainable cryptocurrency mining.

Competitive Advantage: We believe this environmentally conscious approach sets HIVE apart from competitors and aligns with evolving investor preferences.

Expansion into AI Strategy:

Diversification: HIVE's diversification into HPC enables us to support artificial intelligence (AI) using Nvidia GPU chips, showcasing our adaptability and innovation beyond traditional Bitcoin mining.

Revenue Streams: This strategic move into HPC broadens HIVE's revenue streams and places it at the forefront of technological advancements in both cryptocurrency and AI industries.

HIVE's unique value proposition encompasses efficient operations, a proven agile management team, financial strength, environmental sustainability, and innovative expansion strategies. Beyond Bitcoin mining, HIVE is firmly part of the global boom in data center infrastructure, sourcing primarily green renewable energy.

HIVE presents a unique growth opportunity with over 2,600 Bitcoins on its balance sheet and growing revenue from its suite of Nvidia GPU chips powering data services for the AI revolution.

(together, the "Agents" and each, an "Agent") to issue and sell common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") upon and subject to the terms and conditions contained herein.

1. Issuance and Sale of Shares. The Company agrees that, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, it may issue and sell through an Agent named in the applicable Placement Notice (as defined below), acting as sales agent (either such Agent, the "Designated Agent"), Common Shares having an aggregate offering price of up to US$200,000,000 (the "Shares"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, compliance with the limitations set forth in this Section 1 on the amount of Placement Shares issued and sold under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of the Company, and the Agents shall have no obligation in connection with such compliance. The Shares will be sold on the terms set forth herein at such times and in such amounts as the Company and the Designated Agent shall agree from time to time. The issuance and sale of the Shares through the Designated Agent will be effected pursuant to the Canadian Prospectus, the U.S. Prospectus and the Registration Statement (each as defined below) filed by the Company, as set forth below in Section 6.

2. Placements.

(a) Placement Notice. Each time that the Company wishes to issue and sell Shares hereunder (each, a "Placement"), it will notify the Designated Agent by email notice (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) containing the parameters within which it desires to sell the Shares, which shall at a minimum include the number of Shares ("Placement Shares") to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of Shares that may be sold in any one day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made (a "Placement Notice"), a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, provided, however, that in no event shall the Company issue or sell through the Designated Agent such number of Placement Shares that exceeds (a) the dollar amount of Common Shares registered on the Registration Statement pursuant to which the offering is being made or (b) the amount authorized by the Company from time to time to be issued and sold under this Agreement. The Placement Notice shall originate from any of the individuals (each an "Authorized Representative") from the Company set forth on Schedule 1 (with a copy to each of the other individuals from the Company listed on such Schedule), and shall be addressed to each of the individuals from the Designated Agent set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto, as such Schedule 1 may be amended from time to time. The Placement Notice shall be effective upon delivery to the Designated Agent unless and until (i) the Designated Agent declines to accept the terms contained therein for any reason, in its sole discretion, in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 4, (ii) the entire amount of the Placement Shares have been sold, (iii) the Company suspends or terminates the Placement Notice in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 4, (iv) the Company issues a subsequent Placement Notice with parameters superseding those on the earlier dated Placement Notice, or (v) the Agreement has been terminated under the provisions of Section 14.

(b) Placement Fee. The amount of compensation to be paid by the Company to the Agents with respect to each Placement (in addition to any expense reimbursement pursuant to Section 8(i)(ii)) shall be up to 3.0% of gross proceeds from each Placement.

(c) No Obligation. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Company nor the Designated Agent will have any obligation whatsoever with respect to a Placement or any Placement Shares unless and until the Company delivers a Placement Notice to the Designated Agent, and then only upon the terms specified therein and herein. It is also expressly acknowledged that the Agents will be under no obligation to purchase Shares on a principal basis. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Placement Notice, the terms of the Placement Notice control.

3. Sale of Placement Shares by the Designated Agent. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the Company's issuance of a Placement Notice, and unless the sale of the Placement Shares described therein has been declined, suspended, or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Designated Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell on behalf of the Company and as agent, such Placement Shares up to the amount specified during the time period specified, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Placement Notice. If more than one Designated Agent has been specified in a Placement Notice, or if Designated Agents in both the United States and Canada are specified in a Placement Notice, such Designated Agents shall use their best judgment to allocate the volume of sales of Placement Shares so as to maintain the stability of both the TSX-V (as defined below) and Nasdaq (as defined below) markets. The Company acknowledges that the Designated Agent will conduct the sale of Placement Shares in compliance with applicable law, rules and regulations including, without limitation, all applicable United States state and federal securities laws, including, the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and all applicable Canadian Securities Laws (as defined below), and, the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") and TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") and that such compliance may include a delay in commencement of sales efforts after receipt of a Placement Notice. The Designated Agent will provide written confirmation to the Company no later than the opening of the Trading Day immediately following the Trading Day on which it has made sales of Placement Shares hereunder setting forth (i) the number of Placement Shares sold on such day, (ii) the average price of the Placement Shares sold (showing the average price of the Placement Shares sold on Nasdaq, TSX-V and any other marketplace and pursuant to any other sales method used by the Designated Agent), (iii) the gross proceeds, (iv) the compensation payable by the Company to the Agents with respect to such sales, and (v) the Net Proceeds (as defined below) payable to the Company. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Placement Notice, the Designated Agent may sell Placement Shares by any method permitted by law that constitutes an "at-the-market distribution" under National Instrument 44-102 - Shelf Distributions ("NI 44-102") and an "at-the-market offering" under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, including, without limitation, sales made directly on Nasdaq and the TSX-V, on any other existing trading market for the Common Shares solely in the United States and Canada or to or through a market maker in the United States or Canada. In no event will the Agents sell Placement Shares in privately negotiated transactions. During the term of this Agreement, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Agents agree that in no event will they or any of their affiliates engage in any market making, bidding, stabilization or other trading activity with regard to the Common Shares if such activity would be prohibited under Regulation M under the Exchange Act or other anti-manipulation rules under the Securities Act or under NI 44-102. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or a Placement Notice, the Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance that the Designated Agent will be successful in selling any Placement Shares or as to the price at which any Placement Shares are sold, if at all, and (ii) the Designated Agent will incur no liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell Placement Shares for any reason other than a failure by the Designated Agent to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell on behalf of the Company and as agent such Placement Shares as provided under this Section 3. For the purposes hereof, "Trading Day" means any day on which Nasdaq or the TSX-V is open for trading.

For the purposes of this Agreement, the "Applicable Time" means, with respect to any Shares, the time of sale of such Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

4. Suspension of Sales.

(a) The Company or the Designated Agent may, upon notice to the other party in writing, by telephone (confirmed immediately by verifiable facsimile transmission) or by email notice (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties), suspend any sale of Placement Shares; provided, however, that such suspension shall not affect or impair either party's obligations with respect to any Placement Shares sold hereunder prior to the receipt of such notice. The Company and the Agents agree that no such notice shall be effective against the other party unless it is made to one of the individuals named on Schedule 1 hereto, as such Schedule may be amended from time to time.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, during any period in which the Company is in possession of material non-public information, the Company and the Agents (provided they have been given prior written notice of such by the Company, which notice the Agents agree to treat confidentially) agree that no sale of Placement Shares will take place. The Company and the Agents agree that no such notice shall be effective against any other party unless it is made to one of the individuals named on Schedule 1 hereto, as such Schedule may be amended from time to time.

5. Settlement.

(a) Settlement of Placement Shares. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Placement Notice, settlement for sales of Placement Shares will occur on the second (2nd) Business Day (or such earlier day as is agreed by the parties to be industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date on which such sales are made (each a "Settlement Date"). The amount of proceeds to be delivered to the Company on a Settlement Date against the receipt of the Placement Shares sold ("Net Proceeds") will be equal to the aggregate sales price at which such Placement Shares were sold, after deduction for (i) the commission or other compensation for such sales payable by the Company to the Agents, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 2 hereof, (ii) any other amounts due and payable by the Company to the Agents hereunder pursuant to Section 8(i) hereof, and (iii) any transaction fees imposed by any governmental or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales.

(b) Delivery of Shares. On each Settlement Date, the Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Placement Shares being sold by crediting the Designated Agent's account or its designee's account (provided that the Designated Agent shall have given the Company written notice of such designee at least one Trading Day prior to the Settlement Date) at The Canadian Depository for Securities, The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto and, upon receipt of such Placement Shares, which in all cases shall be freely tradeable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form, the Designated Agent will, on each Settlement Date, deliver the related Net Proceeds in same day funds delivered to an account designated by the Company prior to the Settlement Date. If the Company defaults in its obligation to deliver Placement Shares on a Settlement Date, the Company agrees that in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Section 12 hereto, it will (i) hold the Agents harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company and (ii) pay to the Agents any commission, discount, or other compensation to which it would otherwise have been entitled absent such default; provided, however, that without limiting Section 12 herein, with respect to (ii) above, the Company shall not be obligated to pay the Agents any commission, discount or other compensation on any Placement Shares that it is not possible to settle due to: (A) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on Nasdaq or the TSX-V; (B) a material disruption in securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or Canada; (C) failure by a Designated Agent to comply with its obligations under the terms of this Agreement; or (D) if the Company and the Designated Agent agree pursuant to Section 4(b) that no sale of Placement Shares will take place.

8. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees with the Agents that:

(a) Prospectus and Registration Statement Amendments. After the date of this Agreement and during the period in which a prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered by the Agents under the Securities Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 or Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act), (i) the Company will notify the Agents promptly of the time when any subsequent amendment to the Canadian Base Prospectus or the Registration Statement has been filed with any Canadian Qualifying Authority or the Commission and has become effective or where a receipt has been issued therefor, as applicable, or any subsequent supplement to the U.S. Prospectus or the Canadian Prospectus has been filed (each, an "Amendment Date") and of any request by the Commission or any Canadian Qualifying Authority for any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses or for additional information; (ii) the Company will file promptly all other material required to be filed by it with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) and with the Canadian Qualifying Authorities; (iii) the Company will submit to the Agents a copy of any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses (other than a copy of any documents incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses) a reasonable period of time before the filing thereof and will afford the Agents and the Agents' counsel a reasonable opportunity to comment on any such proposed filing prior to such proposed filing; and (iv) the Company will furnish to the Agents at the time of filing thereof a copy of any document that upon filing is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses (provided that the Company will not be required to deliver documents or information incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses if such documents are filed and accessible on EDGAR or SEDAR+, as applicable; and the Company will cause (i) each amendment or supplement to the U.S. Prospectus to be filed with the Commission as required pursuant to General Instruction II.L of Form F-10 of the Rules and Regulations or, in the case of any document to be incorporated therein by reference, to be filed with the Commission as required pursuant to the Exchange Act, within the time period prescribed and (ii) each amendment or supplement to the Canadian Prospectus to be filed with the Canadian Qualifying Authorities as required pursuant to Canadian Shelf Procedures or, in the case of any document to be incorporated therein by reference, to be filed with the Canadian Qualifying Authorities as required pursuant to the Canadian Securities Laws, within the time period prescribed.

(b) Notice of Stop Orders. The Company will advise the Agents, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the issuance by the Commission or the Canadian Qualifying Authorities of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectuses or other prospectus in respect of the Shares, of any notice of objection of the Commission to the use of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, of the suspension of the qualification of the Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the Commission or the Canadian Qualifying Authorities for the amending or supplementing of the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses or for additional information. If there is a Placement Notice that has been issued by the Company that has not been suspended or terminated in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 4 or Section 15, as applicable, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or any order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectuses, a notice of objection of the Commission to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, the suspension of any qualification for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, and, in the event of the issuance of any such stop order or any such order preventing or suspending the use of any Prospectus relating to the Shares or suspending any such qualification, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the lifting or withdrawal of such order as soon as possible. If there is no such outstanding Placement Notice, then, if, in the Company's determination and at the Company's sole discretion, it is necessary to prevent the issuance of any stop order or have a stop order lifted, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or any order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectuses in respect of the Shares, a notice of objection of the Commission to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, the suspension of any qualification for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, and, in the event of the issuance of any such stop order or any such order preventing or suspending the use of any Prospectus relating to the Shares or suspending any such qualification, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the lifting or withdrawal of such order as soon as possible.

(c) Delivery of Prospectus; Subsequent Changes. Within the time during which a prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be delivered by the Agents under the Securities Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 or Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) or the Canadian Securities Laws, the Company will comply in all material respects with all requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act, by the Rules and Regulations and by the Canadian Securities Laws, as appropriate and as from time to time in force, and will file or furnish on or before their respective due dates all reports required to be filed or furnished by it with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, if applicable, or any other provision of or under the Exchange Act or with the Canadian Qualifying Authorities pursuant to the Canadian Securities Laws, as appropriate. If during such period any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectuses as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then existing, not misleading, or if during such period it is necessary to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses to comply with the Securities Act or the Canadian Securities Laws, the Company will immediately notify the Agents to suspend the offering of Placement Shares during such period and, if, in the Company's determination and at the Company's sole discretion, it is necessary to file an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses to comply with the Securities Act or the Canadian Securities Laws, the Company will promptly prepare and file with the Canadian Qualifying Authorities and the Commission such amendment or supplement as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to make the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses comply with such requirements, and the Company will furnish to the Agents such number of copies of such amendment or supplement as the Agents may reasonably request.

(e) Listing of Placement Shares. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Placement Shares to be listed on Nasdaq and the TSX-V and to qualify the Placement Shares for sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Agents designate and to continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Placement Shares; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.

(f) Delivery of Registration Statement and Prospectuses. The Company will furnish to the Agents and their counsel (at the expense of the Company) copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectuses (including all documents incorporated by reference therein) and all amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses that are filed with the Commission or Canadian Qualifying Authorities during the period in which a prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (including all documents filed with the Commission during such period that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) or the Canadian Qualifying Authorities (including all documents filed with the Canadian Qualifying Authorities during such period that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein), in each case as soon as reasonably practicable and in such quantities as the Agents may from time to time reasonably request; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to furnish any documents to the Agents that are filed or accessible on SEDAR+ or EDGAR, as applicable.

(g) Company Information. At the request of the Agents, the Company will furnish to the Agents such information in its possession as is reasonably requested by the Agents as necessary or appropriate to fulfil their obligations as agents pursuant to this Agreement and Applicable Securities Laws.

(h) Earnings Statement. The Company will make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 15 months after the end of the Company's current fiscal quarter, an earnings statement covering a 12-month period that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the Rules and Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company's compliance with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this Section 8(h)

(i) Expenses.

(i) The Company, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereunder are consummated or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 14, will pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including but not limited to (i) the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration Statement and each amendment and supplement thereto, of each of the Prospectuses and of each amendment and supplement thereto and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, (ii) the preparation, issuance and delivery of the Placement Shares, (iii) all fees and disbursements of the Company's counsel, accountants and other advisors, (iv) the qualification of the Placement Shares under securities laws in accordance with the provisions of Section 8(e) of this Agreement, including filing fees in connection therewith, (v) the printing and delivery to the Agents of copies of the U.S. Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, and of this Agreement, (vi) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing or qualification of the Placement Shares for trading on Nasdaq, and (vii) filing fees and expenses related to the Commission and FINRA (including, subject to Section 8(i)(ii), fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agents incurred in connection therewith).

(ii) In addition to any fees that may be payable to the Agents hereunder and regardless of whether or not the transactions contemplated hereunder are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company shall reimburse the Agents for all of their reasonable and documented expenses, up to a maximum aggregate reimbursement of US$100,000 for both U.S. and Canadian counsel to the Agents plus an additional aggregate amount of US$15,000 for both U.S. and Canadian counsel to the Agents in connection with each subsequent Representation Date (as defined below), arising out of this Agreement (including travel and related expenses, the costs of document preparation, production and distribution, third party research and database services and the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of U.S. and Canadian counsel to the Agents) within ten (10) days of the presentation by the Agents to the Company of a statement therefor.

(j) Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the Net Proceeds as described in the Prospectuses.

(k) Change of Circumstances. During the term of this Agreement, the Company will, at any time during a fiscal quarter in which the Company intends to deliver a Placement Notice to the Agents to sell Placement Shares, advise the Agents promptly after it has received notice or obtained knowledge thereof, of any information or fact that would alter or affect in any material respect any opinion, certificate, letter or other document provided to the Agents pursuant to this Agreement.

(l) Due Diligence Cooperation. The Company will cooperate with any reasonable due diligence review conducted by the Agents or their agents, including, without limitation, providing information and making available documents and senior corporate officers, as the Agents may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall be required to make available senior corporate officers only (i) by telephone or at the Company's principal offices and (ii) during the Company's ordinary business hours.

(m) Affirmation of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Other Agreements. Upon commencement of the offering of the Placement Shares under this Agreement (and upon the recommencement of the offering of the Placement Shares under this Agreement following any termination of a suspension of sales hereunder), and at each Applicable Time, each Settlement Date and each Amendment Date (as defined below), the Company shall be deemed to have affirmed each representation, warranty, covenant and other agreement contained in this Agreement.

(n) Required Filings Relating to Placement of Placement Shares. In each quarterly report, management's discussion and analysis, annual information form or annual financial statements / annual report on Form 40-F or 20-F filed by the Company in respect of any quarter in which sales of Placement Shares were made by the Agents under this Agreement, the Company shall set forth with regard to such quarter the number of Shares sold through the Agents under this Agreement, the Net Proceeds received by the Company and the compensation paid by the Company to the Agents with respect to sales of Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement. For so long as the Shares are listed on the TSX-V, within ten (10) calendar days after the end of each month during the term of this Agreement, the Company will, in addition to filing a Form 2E with the TSX-V (or any other applicable forms), provide to the TSX-V, such additional reports of daily sales of the Placement Shares as may be requested from time to time by the TSX-V.

(o) Representation Dates; Certificate. During the term of this Agreement, each time the Company (i) files the Prospectuses relating to the Placement Shares or amends the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses relating to the Placement Shares by means of a post-effective amendment, but not by means of incorporation of document(s) by reference to the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses relating to the Placement Shares; (ii) files an annual report on Form 40-F or 20-F under the Exchange Act; (iii) files interim financial statements in a report on Form 6-K (each date of filing of one or more of the documents referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) shall be a "Representation Date"), the Company shall furnish the Agents with a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B within three Trading Days of any such Representation Date. The requirement to provide a certificate under this Section 8(o) shall be waived for any Representation Date occurring at a time at which no Placement Notice is pending, which waiver shall continue until the earlier to occur of the date the Company delivers a Placement Notice hereunder (which for such calendar quarter shall be considered a Representation Date) and the next occurring Representation Date; provided, however, that such waiver shall not apply for any Representation Date on which the Company files its annual report on Form 40-F or 20-F. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Placement Shares following a Representation Date when the Company relied on such waiver and did not provide the Agents with a certificate under this Section 8(o), then on or before the Company delivers the Placement Notice or the Agents sell any Placement Shares, the Company shall provide the Agents with a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, dated the date of the Placement Notice.

(p) Legal Opinions. Upon commencement of the offering of Placement Shares under this Agreement, and promptly after each (i) Amendment Date, and (ii) each Representation Date with respect to which the Company is obligated to deliver a certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B for which no waiver is applicable and (iii) concurrently with the delivery of a certificate pursuant to the last sentence of Section 8(o), the Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Agents (x) the written opinion and negative assurance letter of Kavinoky Cook, LLP, special U.S. counsel for the Company (provided, however, that only a negative assurance letter of such counsel shall be required for each Representation Date that is neither the commencement of the offering of Placement Shares nor an annual reporting date referenced in Section 8(o)(ii)), and (y) the written opinion of Peterson McVicar LLP, Canadian counsel for the Company (provided that such opinion letter shall only be required to be delivered on a Representation Date that is the commencement of the offering of Placement Shares, Amendment Date and an annual reporting date referenced in 8(o)(ii)), or other counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Agents, dated the date of this Agreement or the date of such commencement or the date of effectiveness of such amendment or the date of filing with the Commission of such supplement or other document, as the case may be, in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents and their counsel, or, in lieu of such opinion and letter, counsel last furnishing such letter to the Agents shall furnish the Agents with a letter substantially to the effect that the Agents may rely on such last opinion and letter to the same extent as though each were dated the date of such letter authorizing reliance (except that statements in such last letter shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectuses as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such letter authorizing reliance). As used in this paragraph, to the extent there shall be an Applicable Time on or following the date referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, promptly shall be deemed to be on or prior to the next succeeding Applicable Time. Such opinion and negative assurance letter, to the extent applicable, shall be rendered to the Agents at the request of the Company and shall state so therein.

(q) Material Subsidiary Legal Opinions. Legal opinions dated the date of filing the Canadian Prospectus Supplement and U.S. Prospectus Supplement from Peterson McVicar LLP or local counsel, as applicable, with respect to each of the Material Subsidiaries, addressed to the Agents, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agents, acting reasonably (the "Material Subsidiaries Legal Opinions");

(r) Comfort Letters.

(s) Market Activities. The Company will not, directly or indirectly, (i) take any action designed to cause or result in, or that constitutes or might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares or (ii) sell, bid for, or purchase the Shares, or pay anyone any compensation for soliciting purchases of the Shares other than the Agents.

(t) Investment Company Act. The Company will conduct its affairs in such a manner so as to reasonably ensure that it will not be or become, at any time prior to the termination of this Agreement, required to register as an "investment company," as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, assuming no change in the Commission's current interpretation as to entities that are not considered an investment company.

(u) Consent to the Agents Trading. The Company consents to the Agents trading in the Common Shares of the Company (to the extent permitted under Applicable Securities Laws, the rules of Nasdaq and the TSX-V, and under this Agreement): (i) for the account of their clients at the same time as sales of Placement Shares occur pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) for the Agents' own accounts provided that no such purchase or sale shall take place by the Agents while the Agents have received a Placement Notice that remains in effect, unless the Company has expressly authorized or consented in writing to any such trades by the Agents, and provided further that in the case of clauses (i) or (ii), by providing such consent, the Company will incur no liability on behalf of the Agents or their clients from such trading activity.

(v) Actively Traded Security. The Company shall notify the Agents at any time the Common Shares become an "actively traded security" exempted from the requirements of Rule 101 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act by subsection (c)(1) of such rule. Furthermore, the Company shall notify the Agents immediately if the Common Shares, having once qualified for such exemption, cease to so qualify.

9. Reporting Relating to Placement of Placement Shares. The Agents will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Company, for each interim and annual period during which Placement Shares are sold through the Agents or distributed pursuant to this Agreement, and otherwise as reasonably requested by the Company to enable the Company to meet its interim and annual reporting requirements under Applicable Securities Laws or any applicable requirements of Nasdaq or the TSX-V, promptly upon a request from the Company, a report providing sufficient information regarding the distribution of the Placement Shares for the Company to meet its interim and annual reporting requirements under Applicable Securities Laws or any applicable requirements of Nasdaq or the TSX-V.

10. Additional Representations and Covenants of the Company.

(a) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses.

(i) The Company represents that it has not made, and covenants that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Agents, it will not make any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus; except as set forth in a Placement Notice, no use of any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus has been consented to by the Agents. The Company agrees that it will comply with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 of the Securities Act applicable to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission or retention where required and legending.

(ii) The Company agrees that no Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, if any, will include any information that conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectuses, including any document incorporated by reference therein that has not been superseded or modified. In addition, no Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, if any, together with the Prospectuses, will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, the foregoing shall not apply to any statements or omissions in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance on information furnished in writing to the Company by the Agents expressly stating that such information is intended for use therein.

(iii) The Company agrees that if at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus any event occurred or occurs as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus would conflict with the information in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectuses including any document incorporated by reference therein that has not been superseded or modified, or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company will give prompt notice thereof to the Agents and, if requested by the Agents, will prepare and furnish without charge to the Agents an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other document which will correct such conflict, statement or omission; provided, however, the foregoing shall not apply to any statements or omissions in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance on information furnished in writing to the Company by the Agents expressly stating that such information is intended for use therein.

(b) Non-Issuer Free Writing Prospectus. The Company consents to the use by the Agents of a free writing prospectus that (a) is not an "Issuer Free Writing Prospectus" as defined in Rule 433, and (b) contains only information describing the terms of the Placement Shares or their offering, or information permitted under Rule 134 under the Securities Act; provided that the Agents covenant with the Company not to take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Agents that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of the Agents.

(c) Distribution of Offering Materials. The Company has not distributed and will not distribute, during the term of this Agreement, any offering materials in connection with the offering and sale of the Placement Shares other than the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectuses or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus reviewed and consented to by the Agents and included in a Placement Notice (as described in clause (a)(i) above).

11. Conditions to the Agents' Obligations. The obligations of the Agents hereunder with respect to a Placement will be subject to the continuing accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the Company herein, to the due performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder, and to the continuing satisfaction (or waiver by the Agents in their sole discretion) of the following additional conditions:

(a) Registration Statement Effective. The Registration Statement shall remain effective and shall be available for the sale of (i) all Placement Shares issued pursuant to all prior Placements and not yet sold by the Agents and (ii) all Placement Shares contemplated to be issued by the Placement Notice relating to such Placement.

(b) Canadian Prospectus Supplement. The Canadian Prospectus Supplement shall have been filed with the Canadian Qualifying Authorities under the Canadian Shelf Procedures and, in accordance with this Agreement, all requests for additional information on the part of the Canadian Qualifying Authorities shall have been complied with to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agents and the Agents' counsel.

(c) No Material Notices. None of the following events shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) receipt by the Company of any request for additional information from the Commission, the Canadian Qualifying Authorities or any other federal or state or foreign or other governmental, administrative or self-regulatory authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement and the Prospectuses, the response to which might reasonably require any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectuses; (ii) the issuance by the Commission, the Canadian Qualifying Authorities or any other federal or state or foreign or other governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; (iv) the occurrence of any event that makes any statement made in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectuses or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectuses or documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and in the case of the Disclosure Package and the Prospectuses, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (v) the Company's reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or Prospectuses would be appropriate.

(d) Material Changes. Except as contemplated and appropriately disclosed in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectuses, or disclosed in the Company's reports filed with the Commission and Canadian Qualifying Authorities, in each case at the time the applicable Placement Notice is delivered, there shall not have been any material change, on a consolidated basis, in the authorized capital stock of the Company, or any Material Adverse Effect, or any development that may reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect, the effect of which, in the sole judgment of the Agents (without relieving the Company of any obligation or liability it may otherwise have), acting reasonably, is so material as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering of the Placement Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectuses.

(e) Certificate. The Agents shall have received the certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 8(p) on or before the date on which delivery of such certificate is required pursuant to Section 8(p).

(f) Legal Opinions. The Agents shall have received the opinions of counsel to the Company required to be delivered pursuant Section 8(p) and Section 8(r) on or before the date on which such delivery of such opinions are required pursuant to Section 8(p) and Section 8(r).

(g) Comfort Letters. The Agents shall have received the Comfort Letter required to be delivered pursuant Section 8(s) on or before the date on which such delivery of such letter is required pursuant to Section 8(s).

(h) Due Diligence. The Company shall have complied with all of its due diligence obligations required pursuant to Section 8(l).

(i) Approval for Listing; No Suspension. The Placement Shares shall have either been (i) approved for listing, subject to notice of issuance, on Nasdaq and the TSX-V, or (ii) the Company shall have filed an application for listing of the Placement Shares on Nasdaq and the TSX-V at or prior to the issuance of the Placement Notice. Trading in the Common Shares shall not have been suspended on such market.

(j) Other Materials. On each date on which the Company is required to deliver a certificate pursuant to Section 8(p), the Company shall have furnished to the Agents such appropriate further information, certificates, and documents as the Agents may reasonably request. All such certificates, letters and other documents will be in compliance with the provisions hereof. The Company will furnish the Agents with such conformed copies of such certificates, letters and other documents as the Agents shall reasonably request.

(k) Securities Act Filings Made. All filings with the Commission required by General Instruction II.L of Form F-10 and the Securities Act and required by the Canadian Qualifying Authorities to have been filed prior to the issuance of any Placement Notice hereunder shall have been made within the applicable time period prescribed for such filing by General Instruction II.L of Form F-10 and the Securities Act and applicable Canadian Securities Laws.

(l) No Termination Event. There shall not have occurred any event that would permit the Agents to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 14(a).

12. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Company Indemnification. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Agents and each person, if any, who (i) controls the Agents or (ii) is controlled by or is under common control with the Agents against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several (but in each case, excluding loss of profits and other consequential damages) (collectively, "Damages") to which the Agents or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Canadian Securities Laws or otherwise, insofar as such Damages (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon:

(i) any information or statement (except any information or statements that has been provided in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Agents specifically for inclusion therein) in the Canadian Prospectus or any amendment thereto, the U.S. Prospectus or any amendment thereto or in any other document incorporated therein by reference being alleged to be a misrepresentation or untrue, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein any fact or information (except facts or information them that has been provided in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Agent specifically for inclusion therein) required to be stated therein or necessary to make any of the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made;

(ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Canadian Prospectus or any amendment thereto, U.S. Prospectus or any amendment thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact (except facts or information that has been provided in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Agents specifically for inclusion therein) necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(iii) any order made or any inquiry, investigation (whether formal or informal) or proceeding commenced or threatened by any securities, regulatory or other competent authority based upon the circumstances described in (a) or (b) above which operates to prevent or restrict the trading in or the distribution of the Placement Shares or any of them in any jurisdiction;

(iv) the Company not complying with any requirement of applicable Canadian Securities Laws or U.S. federal or state securities laws in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.

The above indemnification obligations will not apply to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non-appealable shall determine that such Damages were solely caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud of the indemnified party.

(b) The Agents Indemnification. Each of the Agents, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any Damages to which the Company may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Canadian Securities Laws or otherwise, insofar as such Damages (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact that has been provided in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Agent specifically for inclusion therein contained in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectuses (including any amendment or supplement if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, that has been provided in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Agent specifically for inclusion therein. The Company acknowledges that the statements in the Canadian Prospectus Supplement and U.S. Prospectus Supplement set forth in the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth paragraphs under the heading "Plan of Distribution" constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Agents for inclusion in the Registration Statement, the Prospectuses or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

(c) Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, promptly notify such indemnifying party in writing of the institution of such proceeding and such indemnifying party shall assume the defense of such proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the failure to so notify such indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability which such indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party or otherwise. The indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ one set of its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party in connection with the defense of such proceeding or the indemnifying party shall not have, within a reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances, employed counsel to defend such proceeding or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from, additional to or in conflict with those available to such indemnifying party (in which case such indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by such indemnifying party and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that such indemnifying party shall not be liable to the expenses of more than one separate counsel in any one proceeding or series of related proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such proceeding). No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim). No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action or claim affected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 12 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any Damages (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Damages (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other from the offering of the Placement Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Damages (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, bear to the total commissions and other fees received by the Agents. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Agents on the other and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Agents agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (d) 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 subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Damages (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Agent shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Placement Shares distributed to the public by them were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any Damages which such Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Agents' obligations in this Section 12(d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective obligations and not joint.

(e) Obligations. The obligations of the Company under this Section 12 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Agents within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the obligations of the Agents under this Section 12 shall be in addition to any liability which the Agents may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act.

13. Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations and warranties of the Company herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agents and any controlling persons, and shall survive delivery and acceptance of the Placement Shares and payment therefor.

14. Termination.

(a) Each Agent may terminate this Agreement, solely with respect to its rights and obligations hereunder, at any time by giving notice as hereinafter specified if (i) any Material Adverse Effect has occurred, or any development that is reasonably expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect has occurred or any other event has occurred which, in the sole judgment of the Agents, may materially impair the Agents' ability to proceed with the offering to sell the Shares, (ii) the Company shall have failed, refused or been unable, at or prior to any Settlement Date, to perform any agreement on its part to be performed hereunder, (iii) any other condition of the Agents' obligations hereunder is not fulfilled, or (iv) any suspension or limitation of trading in the Common Shares of the Company on Nasdaq or the TSX-V shall have occurred. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 8(i) (Expenses), Section 12 (Indemnification), Section 13 (Survival of Representations), Section 14(f) (Termination), Section 19 (Applicable Law; Consent to Jurisdiction) and Section 20 (Waiver of Jury Trial) hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. If either Agent elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 14(a), such Agent shall provide the required notice as specified in Section 15 (Notices). For the avoidance of doubt, the termination by one Agent of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to this Section 14(a) shall not affect the rights and obligations of the other Agent under this Agreement.

(b) The Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time by giving ten (10) days' notice as hereinafter specified. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 8(i), Section 12, Section 13, Section 14(f), Section 19 and Section 20 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

(c) In addition to, and without limiting the Agents' rights under Section 14(a), either Agent shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement by giving ten (10) days' notice as hereinafter specified. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 8(i), Section 12, Section 13, Section 14(f), Section 19 and Section 20 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the termination by one Agent of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to this Section 14(c) shall not affect the rights and obligations of the other Agent under this Agreement.

(d) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to Sections 14(a), 14(b) or 14(c) above or otherwise if:

(i) the entire amount of the Placement Shares have been sold;

(ii) the Receipt ceases to be effective in accordance with Canadian Securities Laws or the Registration Statement ceases to be effective under the applicable U.S. securities laws;

(iii) the Company engages an Agent or the Agents to complete (as lead or co-lead underwriters or agents) an equity or equity-linked financing, provided further that if only one of the Agents is the lead underwriter or agent in connection with said equity or equity-linked financing, the other Agent shall be entitled to be a member of the syndicate established for such equity or equity-linked financing; or

(iv) by mutual agreement of the parties;

provided that any such termination by mutual agreement shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Section 8(i), Section 12, Section 13, Section 14(f), Section 19 and Section 20 shall remain in full force and effect.

(e) Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by the Agents or the Company, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Placement Shares, such Placement Shares shall settle in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(f) In the event that the Company terminates this Agreement, as permitted under Section 14(b), the Company shall be under no continuing obligation to utilize the services of the Agents in connection with any sale of securities of the Company or to pay any compensation to the Agents other than compensation with respect to sales of Placement Shares subscribed on or before the termination date and the Company shall be free to engage other placement agents and underwriters from and after the termination date with no continuing obligation to the Agents.

References to any of either of the parties contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the successors and permitted assigns of such party.

Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended except pursuant to a written instrument executed by the Company and the Agents. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

19. Applicable Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection with any transaction contemplated hereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding (each, a "Related Proceeding"), any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Related Proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such Related Proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Related Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof (certified or registered mail, return receipt requested) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. To the extent that the Company has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise) from the jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or its property, the Company irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such immunity in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding in respect of its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) The Company has irrevocably appointed Corporation Service Company with offices at 19 West 44th Street, Suite 200, New York, NY 10036, as its agent for service of process in any Related Proceeding and agrees that service of process in any such Related Proceeding may be made upon it at the office of such agent. The Company waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any other requirements of or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect thereto. The Company represents and warrants that such agent has agreed to act as the agent for service of process, and the Company agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect for a period of seven years from the date of this Agreement.

20. Waiver of Jury Trial. The Company and the Agents hereby irrevocably waive any right either may have to a trial by jury in respect of any claim based upon or arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby.

21. Absence of Fiduciary Duties. The parties acknowledge that they are sophisticated in business and financial matters and that each of them is solely responsible for making its own independent investigation and analysis of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. They further acknowledge that the Agents have not been engaged by the Company to provide, and have not provided, financial advisory services in connection with the terms of the offering and sale of the Shares nor have the Agents assumed at any time a fiduciary relationship to the Company in connection with such offering and sale. The parties also acknowledge that the provisions of this Agreement fairly allocate the risks of the transactions contemplated hereby among them in light of their respective knowledge of the Company and their respective abilities to investigate its affairs and business in order to assure that full and adequate disclosure has been made in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (and any amendments and supplements thereto). The Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Agents for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees the Agents shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company, including stockholders, employees or creditors of Company.

22. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than United States dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agents could purchase United States dollars with such other currency in The City of New York on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Company with respect to any sum due from it to any Agent or any person controlling any Agent shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first Business Day following receipt by such Agent or controlling person of any sum in such other currency, and only to the extent that such Agent or controlling person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United States dollars with such other currency. If the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Agent or controlling person hereunder, the Company agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Agent or controlling person against such loss. If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to such Agent or controlling person hereunder, such Agent or controlling person agrees to pay to the Company, as applicable, an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to such Agent or controlling person hereunder.

23. Counterparts. 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 email transmission.

If the foregoing accurately reflects your understanding and agreement with respect to the matters described herein please indicate your agreement by countersigning this Agreement in the space provided below.
