(a)
A certificate of appointment in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Certificate of Appointment”) (and a supplemental Certificate of Appointment each time there is any material change to the information contained in the original Certificate of Appointment). It is agreed, however, that any provisions explicitly addressed in this Agreement shall govern the relationship between the parties in the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Certificate of Appointment;

(b)
Specimens of all forms of outstanding share certificates, as applicable, in the forms approved by the board of directors of the Company, with a certificate of the secretary of the Company as to such approval;

To the extent any Shares are certificated stock, a sufficient supply of blank certificates signed by (or bearing the facsimile signature of) the officers of the Company authorized to sign share certificates and bearing the Company’s corporate seal (if required).

5




All Shares not so registered were issued or transferred in a transaction or series of transactions exempt from the registration provisions of the Act, and in each such issuance or transfer, the Company was so advised by its legal counsel.

Section 6.
Reliance and Indemnification

6.01
AST may rely on any written or oral instructions received from any person it believes in good faith to be an officer, authorized agent or employee of the Company, unless, prior thereto (a) the Company shall have advised AST in writing that it is entitled to rely only on written instructions of designated officers of the Company, (b) it furnishes AST with an appropriate incumbency certificate for such officers and their signatures, and (c) the Company thereafter keeps such designation current with an annual (or more frequent, if required) re-filing. AST may also rely on advice, opinions or instructions received from the Company’s legal counsel. AST may, in any event, rely on advice received from its legal counsel. AST may rely (a) on any writing or other instruction believed by it in good faith to have been furnished by or on behalf of the Company or a shareholder of the Company, including, but not limited to, any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter, stock power, affidavit or other document or security; (b) on any statement of fact contained in any such writing or other instruction which it in good faith does not believe to be inaccurate; (c) on the apparent authority of any person to act on behalf of the Company or a shareholder of the Company as having actual authority to the extent of such apparent authority; (d) on the authenticity of any signature (manual or facsimile) appearing on any writing, including, but not limited to, any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter, stock power, affidavit or other document or security; and (e) on the conformity to original of any copy. AST shall further be entitled to rely on any information, records and documents provided to AST by a former transfer agent or former registrar on behalf of the Company.

6.02
AST shall not be responsible for, and the Company shall indemnify and hold AST harmless from and against, any and all losses, damages, costs, charges, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement, counsel fees and expenses, payments, general expenses and/or liability arising out of or attributable to:

(a)
AST’s (and/or its agents’ or subcontractors’) actions performed in its capacity as transfer agent and/or registrar, provided that such actions are taken in good faith and without gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct;

(b)
The Company’s lack of good faith, negligence, fraud or willful misconduct or the breach of any representation or warranty of the Company hereunder;

(c)
Any action(s) taken in accordance with section 6.01 hereof;

(d)
Any action(s) performed pursuant to a direction or request issued by a statutory, regulatory, governmental or quasi-governmental body (AST shall,

6




however, provide the Company with prior notice when practicable, unless AST is not permitted to do so); or

(e)
Any reasonable expenses, including attorney fees, incurred in seeking to enforce the foregoing indemnities.

6.03
If AST receives a stock certificate not reflected in its records, AST will research records, if any, delivered to it upon its appointment as transfer agent from a prior transfer agent (or from the Company). If such records do not exist or if such certificate cannot be reconciled with such records, then AST will notify the Company. If neither the Company nor AST is able to reconcile such certificate with any records (so that the transfer of said certificate on the records maintained by AST would create an overissue), the Company shall either increase the number of its issued shares, or acquire and cancel a sufficient number of issued shares, to correct the overissue.

6.04
The foregoing indemnities shall not terminate on termination of AST’s acting as transfer agent and/or registrar, and they are irrevocable. AST’s acceptance of its appointment as transfer agent and/or registrar, evidenced by its acting as such for any period, shall be deemed sufficient consideration for the foregoing indemnities.

Section 7.
Standard of Care

AST shall, at all times, act in good faith. AST agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts, within reasonable time limits, to ensure the accuracy of all services performed under this Agreement.

Section 8.
Limitations on AST’s Responsibilities

AST shall not be responsible for the validity of the issuance, presentation or transfer of stock; the genuineness of endorsements; the authority of presentors; or the collection or payment of charges or taxes incident to the issuance or transfer of stock. AST may, however, delay or decline an issuance or transfer if it deems it to be in its or the Company’s best interests to receive evidence or assurance of such validity, authority, collection or payment. AST shall not be responsible for any discrepancies in its records or between its records and those of the Company, if it is a successor transfer agent or successor registrar, unless no discrepancy existed in the records of the Company and any predecessor transfer agent or predecessor registrar. AST shall not be deemed to have notice of, or to be required to inquire regarding, any provision of the Company’s articles, certificate of amalgamation, or by-laws, any court or administrative order, or any other document, unless it is specifically advised of such in a writing from the Company, which writing shall set forth the manner in which it affects the Shares. In no event shall AST be responsible for any transfer or issuance not effected by it.


7




IN NO EVENT SHALL AST HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, STATUTORY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA OR COST OF COVER.

AST’S LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF ALL FEES (EXCLUDING EXPENSES) PAID UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN THE TWENTY-FOUR MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE FIRST EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY.

Section 9.
Covenants of the Company and AST

9.01
AST agrees to establish and maintain facilities and procedures reasonably acceptable to the Company for the safekeeping of share certificates.

9.02
AST shall keep records relating to the services to be performed hereunder, in the form and manner as it may deem advisable.

During such time as AST may suspend its services, AST shall have no obligation to act as transfer agent and/or registrar on behalf of the Company, and shall not be deemed its agent for such purposes. Such suspension shall not affect AST’s rights under this Agreement.

10.05
Should the Company elect not to renew this Agreement or otherwise terminate this Agreement, AST shall be entitled to reasonable additional compensation for the service of preparing records for delivery to its successor or to the Company, and for forwarding and maintaining records with respect to certificates received after such termination.
