5.3 Purchase Entirely for Own Account.

5.6 Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws and are subject to a restricted period under Canadian Securities Laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the 1933 Act Laws or without a prospectus pursuant to Canadian Securities Laws only in certain limited circumstances.

Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement and other than to such Person’s Affiliates, outside attorneys, accountants, auditors or investment advisors only to the extent necessary to permit evaluation of the investment, and the performance of the necessary or required tax, accounting, financial, legal, or administrative tasks and services and other than as may be required by law, such Investor has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).

5.15 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of the Transaction Documents and the consummation by such Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Investor or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Investor is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Investor, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of such Investor to perform its obligations hereunder.

Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, which shall be disclosed pursuant to Section 9.8, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Investor or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes constitutes, material nonpublic information, unless prior thereto such Investor shall have consented to the receipt of such information and agreed with the Company to keep such information confidential. The Company understands and confirms that each Investor shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, nonpublic information regarding the Company or any subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the SEC pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company understands and confirms that each Investor shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

8. Survival and Indemnification.

8.1 Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for the applicable statute of limitations.

8.2 Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Investor and its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, trustees, partners, members, managers, stockholders, employees, investment advisers and agents, and each person who controls the Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act), and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, stockholders, agents, affiliates, employees and investment advisers of each such controlling person from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable and documented attorney’s fees and disbursements and other documented out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim or proceeding, pending or threatened and the costs of enforcement thereof) to which such Person may become subject as a result of any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by or to be performed on the part of the Company under the Transaction Documents, and will reimburse any such Person for all such amounts as they are incurred by such Person solely to the extent such amounts have been finally judicially determined not to have resulted from such Person’s fraud or willful misconduct; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) the material failure of such Person entitled to indemnification to comply with the covenants and agreements contained herein, or (ii) the material inaccuracy of any representations or warranties made herein by such Person entitled to indemnification herein, or (y) has been finally judicially determined to have resulted from such Person’s fraud or willful misconduct. The Company shall notify the Investors promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents of which the Company is aware.

8.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such


claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such indemnified party, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such indemnified party elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give written notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation or that includes any admission as to fault, culpability or failure to act on the part of such indemnified party. No indemnified party will, except with the consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement on any such matter.

9. Miscellaneous.

9.1 Successors and Assigns. No party hereunder may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without, in the case of any Investor, the consent of the Company and, in the case of the Company, the consent of each of the Investors, except that each Investor may, prior to the Closing and without the consent of the Company, assign its rights hereunder to any Affiliate of such Investor and/or, after the Closing, to any assignee or transferee of the Common Shares; provided, that no such assignment shall relieve such Investor of its obligations hereunder and provided such assignee or transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions hereof that apply to Investors. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective permitted successors and assigns of the parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar business combination transaction in which the Common Shares is converted into the equity securities of another Person, from and after the effective time of such transaction, such Person shall, by virtue of such transaction, be deemed to have assumed the obligations of the Company hereunder, the term “Company” shall be deemed to refer to such Person and the term “Shares” shall be deemed to refer to the shares received by the Investors in connection with such transaction. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective permitted successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

9.2 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signatures complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

9.3 Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

9.4 Notices. Unless otherwise provided, any notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given as hereinafter described (i) if given by personal delivery, then such notice shall be deemed given upon such delivery, (ii) if given by e-mail, then such notice shall be deemed given upon receipt of confirmation of receipt of an e-mail transmission, (iii) if given by mail, then such notice shall be deemed given upon the earlier of (A) receipt of such notice by the recipient or (B) three (3) days after such notice is deposited in first class mail, postage prepaid, and (iv) if given by an internationally recognized overnight air courier, then such notice shall be deemed given one Business Day after delivery to such carrier. All notices shall be addressed to the party to be notified at the address as follows, or at such other address as such party may designate by ten (10) days’ advance written notice to the other party:

9.6 Amendments and Waivers. Prior to Closing, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective with respect to any party unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of such party. Following the Closing, any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the unanimous consent of the Investors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may not be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may not be waived with respect to any Investor without the written consent of such Investor unless such amendment or waiver applies to all Investors in the same fashion. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon (i) prior to Closing, each Investor that signed such amendment or waiver and (ii) following the Closing, each holder of any Shares purchased under this Agreement at the time outstanding, and in each case, each future holder of all such Shares and the Company.

9.7 Other Agreements. The Company has not entered and will not enter, subsequent to the date hereof, into any side letter or similar agreement relating to the purchase of the Shares with any other Investor, other than this Agreement, which would reflect a purchase price or other terms and conditions with respect to the purchase of the Shares that are more favorable to such Investor than the terms of this Agreement.

9.8 Publicity. Except as set forth below, no public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by the Investors without the prior consent of the Company, except as such release or announcement may be required by law or the applicable rules or regulations of any securities exchange or securities market, in which case the Investors shall allow the Company reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Investor may identify the Company and the value of such Investor’s security holdings in the Company in accordance with, and provide any other information that is required to be disclosed pursuant to, applicable investment reporting and disclosure regulations or internal policies without prior notice to or consent from the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, filings pursuant to Sections 13 and 16 of the 1934 Act). The Company shall not include the name of any Investor or any Affiliate or investment adviser of such Investor in any press release or public announcement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any SEC Filing to the extent such disclosure is required by SEC rules and regulations) without the prior written consent of such Investor. No later than the 9:01


a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately following the date this Agreement is executed (provided that, if this Agreement is executed between midnight and 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, no later than 9:01 a.m. on the date the Agreement is executed), the Company shall issue a press release disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Press Release”) and shall file with the SEC the Announcing 8-K disclosing any other material non-public information provided or made available by or on behalf of the Company to any of the Investors on or prior to the date hereof and including as exhibits thereto the Press Release, this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement (in each case without redaction). In addition, the Company will make such other legally required filings and notices in the manner and time required by the SEC or Nasdaq and Canadian Securities Laws; provided that, to the extent such filings include the name of any Investor or any Affiliate or investment adviser of such Investor, then the Company shall provide such Investor with prompt prior notice of such filing requirement so that the Investor may (a) seek appropriate relief to prevent or limit such disclosure, (b) furnish only that portion of the information which is legally required to be furnished or disclosed, and to the extent reasonably feasible, and (c) consult with the Company on content and timing prior to any such disclosure. The Company represents and warrants that, from and after the issuance of the Press Release and the filing of the Announcing 8-K, no Investors shall be in possession of any material nonpublic information received from the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that no Investor (nor any of such Investor’s Affiliates, attorneys, accountants, agents or representatives) shall have any duty of trust or confidence (including any such obligation under any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement entered into by such Investor in connection with the purchase of the Common Shares hereunder) with respect to, or any obligation not to trade in any securities while aware of, any material nonpublic information (X) provided by, or on behalf of, the Company any of its Affiliates or any of their officers, directors (or equivalent persons), employees, attorneys, agents or representatives in violation of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, provisions or agreements set forth in this Section 9.8 or elsewhere herein or (Y) otherwise possessed (or continued to be possessed) by any Investor (or any Affiliate, attorney, accountant, agent or representative thereof) as a result of any breach or violation of any representation, warranty, covenant, provision or agreement set forth in this Section 9.8.

9.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof but shall be interpreted as if it were written so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any provision of law which renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

9.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the signature pages and Exhibits and any confidentiality agreement between the Company and each Investor constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereof with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

9.11 Further Assurances. On or prior to the Closing Date, the parties shall execute and deliver all such further instruments and documents and take all such other actions as may reasonably be required to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and to evidence the fulfillment of the agreements herein contained.

9.12 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to the choice of law principles thereof (other than sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law) to the extent that those principles would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York located in New York County and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action, proceeding or judgment relating to or arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Service of process in connection with any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on each party hereto anywhere in the world by the same methods as are specified for the giving of notices under this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding and to the laying of venue in such court. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts


and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO REQUEST A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND REPRESENTS THAT COUNSEL HAS BEEN CONSULTED SPECIFICALLY AS TO THIS WAIVER.

9.13 Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Investor to purchase Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Investors has been provided with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Investors and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and an Investor, solely, and not between the Company and the Investors collectively and not between and among the Investors.
