(b)

the Contractor has not acquired the Compensation Shares as a result of, and will not itself engage in, any “directed selling efforts” (as defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act) in the United States in respect of any of the Securities which would include any activities undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States for the resale of any of the Compensation Shares; provided, however, that the Contractor may sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Compensation Shares pursuant to registration thereof under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws or under an exemption from such registration requirements;

 

 

(c)

the Contractor is acquiring the Compensation Shares pursuant to an exemption (the “Exemption”) from the registration and prospectus requirements of the applicable Canadian securities laws and regulations (the “Legislation”) in all Canadian jurisdictions relevant to the issuance, and, as a consequence, the Contractor will not be entitled to use most of the civil remedies available under such Legislation, including statutory rights of rescission and damages;

 

(d)

the Exemption is premised on the basis that the undersigned does not require the protection of the Legislation by virtue of the Contractor’s current involvement in the Company as a “consultant”, as defined in National Instrument 45-106 (“NI 45-106”);

 

(e)

the Compensation Shares will be subject in the United States to a hold period from the date of issuance of the Compensation Shares unless such Compensation Shares are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”);

(g)

it will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and, where applicable, its directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and shareholders from and against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all fees, costs and expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim, lawsuit, administrative proceeding or investigation whether commenced or threatened) arising out of or based upon any representation or warranty of the Contractor contained herein or in any document furnished by the Contractor to the Company in connection herewith being untrue in any material respect or any breach or failure by the Contractor to comply with any covenant or agreement made by the Contractor to the Company in connection therewith;

 

(h)

the issuance and sale of the Compensation Shares to the Contractor will not be completed if it would be unlawful;

 

(i)

the Compensation Shares are not listed on any stock exchange or subject to quotation and no representation has been made to the Contractor that the Compensation Shares will become listed on any other stock exchange or subject to quotation on any other quotation system except that market makers are currently making markets in the Company’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board;

no securities commission or similar regulatory authority has reviewed or passed on the merits of the Compensation Shares;

 

(k)

there is no government or other insurance covering the Compensation Shares;

 

(l)

there are risks associated with an investment in the Compensation Shares, including the risk that the Contractor could lose all of its investment;

 

 

(m)

the Contractor and the Contractor’s advisor(s) have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company in connection with the distribution of the Compensation Shares hereunder, and to obtain additional information, to the extent possessed or obtainable without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of the information about the Company;

 

(n)

the books and records of the Company were available upon reasonable notice for inspection, subject to certain confidentiality restrictions, by the Contractor during reasonable business hours at its principal place of business, and all documents, records and books in connection with the distribution of the Compensation Shares hereunder have been made available for inspection by the Contractor, the Contractor’s lawyer and/or advisor(s);

 

(o)

the Company will refuse to register any transfer of the Compensation Shares not made in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act;

 

(p)

the statutory and regulatory basis for the exemption claimed for the offer of the Compensation Shares, although in technical compliance with Regulation S, would not be available if the offering is part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the 1933 Act; and

 

(q)

the Contractor has been advised to consult the Contractor’s own legal, tax and other advisors with respect to the merits and risks of an investment in the Compensation Shares and with respect to applicable resale restrictions, and it is solely responsible (and the Company is not in any way responsible) for compliance with:
