2.As of the date of this Amendment, Section 9.2 is added to the Consulting Agreement as follows:

 

“9.2 If, within six (6) months of a Change of Control, (A) the Company terminates this Agreement for any reason other than for cause, as set forth in Section 9.1(a), or (B) the Consultant terminates this Agreement as a result of a material breach of this Agreement by the Company, then the Company shall pay Consultant two (2) times Consultant’s annual Base Fees and Payments.

 

(a)       For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” shall mean the consummation of any of the following transactions effecting a change in ownership or control of the Company:

 

(i)       a merger, consolidation or reorganization, unless securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the voting securities of the successor corporation are immediately thereafter beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, and in substantially the same proportion, by the persons who beneficially owned the Company’s outstanding voting securities immediately prior to such transaction; or

 

(ii)       any transfer, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or

 

(iii)      the acquisition, directly or indirectly, by any person or related group of persons (other than the Company or a person that directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company), of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws and/or Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of securities possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities pursuant to a take-over bid, tender or exchange offer made directly to the Company’s stockholders that the Board does not recommend such stockholders to accept.

 

In no event, however, shall a Change in Control be deemed to occur in connection with (i) a merger of the Company, the sole purpose of which is to change the domicile of the Company, or (ii) any public offering of Common Stock, the primary purpose of which is to raise capital.”

 

With the exception of the foregoing changes, the Consulting Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and the Consulting Agreement and this Amendment to Consulting Agreement Amendment shall be construed as one and the same instrument. This Amendment to Consulting Agreement may be executed in counterparts which taken together form one and the same agreement and may be executed and delivered electronically.
