Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Share (the "Warrant Shares") of the Company for a period of 24 months following Closing at a price of US$1.75 per Share.

   

Each Warrant shall contain net, or cashless, exercise provisions (payable in Shares) which may be utilized by the holder at any time commencing 6 months following the closing of the offering, in the event that a resale registration statement covering the Warrant Shares filed with the Commission is not effective and usable.

   
Filing of Canadian Prospectus:

The Company will, as soon as practicable following the closing of the offering, file a prospectus (the "Canadian Prospectus") in each of the Offering Jurisdictions qualifying the distribution of the Units upon exchange of the Subscription Receipts. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a receipt for the final Canadian Prospectus in each of the Offering Jurisdictions as soon as practicable thereafter.

   
Exchange Date:

The Exchange Date will be the date which is the earlier of: (a) the date on which a receipt is issued (or is deemed to be issued) for the final Canadian Prospectus in each of the Offering Jurisdictions; and (b) the date which is four months and one day after the closing of the offering.

   
Hold Periods

Transfer of the Subscription Receipts and the underlying securities are subject to all applicable securities laws and the Subscription Receipts may not be transferred to insiders of the Company. As described in more detail below, for those investors who are not "affiliates" of the Company, as defined under the US Securities Act, the securities sold under the offering will be subject to a "hold period" that will expire on the earlier of:

   
  a)

for all securities including the Warrant Shares, upon obtaining both a receipt for a final prospectus in Canada and effectiveness of a resale registration statement in the United States; and

     
  b)

for all securities other than the Warrant Shares, 6 months after Closing and, in the case of the Warrant Shares, 6 months after the date of exercise.



   
Resale Restrictions and Filing of U.S. Registration Statement:

The securities issued in the offering, and issuable upon exchange or exercise, are "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act, and may not be resold without registration under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws unless an exemption from registration is available. The Company agrees to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") for resale of the Common Shares and the Common Shares underlying the Warrants and the Broker Warrants (as defined below) under the US Securities Act as soon as practicable after Closing, and, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective and to remain effective until two years after Closing. Subject to the foregoing, pursuant to National Instrument 45-102, the Subscription Receipts (and underlying securities) issuable on the Closing Date and the Common Shares issuable on exercise of the Warrants and the Broker Warrants will be subject to a four month hold period in all of the provinces of Canada, commencing on the Closing Date. A "legend" in the form prescribed by National Instrument 45-102 or other applicable securities legislation, including US securities laws, or stock exchange rules will appear on the securities certificates, together with such additional legends as may be appropriate in the circumstances. Notwithstanding the Company’s agreement to file a resale registration statement, the Company may delay or suspend the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (a "Delay Period") if the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith that the disclosure of material non-public information at such time would be detrimental to the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided that the term of any Delay Period and any period(s) during which the registration statement is not available to enable holders to effect resales thereunder, shall extend the period the registration statement is required to be effective. The aggregate Delay Period for all pending developments shall not exceed 45 calendar days in any 180- day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the registration statement is declared effective and its permitted use is resumed following a suspension as promptly as practicable and that in no event will a Delay Period be in effect or the ability of holders to effect resales under such registration statement be impaired during any period in which the Company is effecting a primary public offering of its securities in the United States or Canada, thus giving effect to the intention that purchasers in this offering shall have the ability to effect public resales of their securities at the same time and on the same basis as purchasers in any such primary public offering.

   
Offering Jurisdictions:

Private placement to "accredited investors" in all provinces of Canada, other than Québec (collectively, the "Offering Jurisdictions"), and into the United States pursuant to Regulation D under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended or in such other manner as to not require registration under the U.S. Securities Act, and jurisdictions other than Canada and the United States, provided that the Company is not required to file a prospectus or other disclosure document or become subject to continuing reporting obligations in such other jurisdictions.

Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed Questionnaire in the form attached to this Schedule as Annex B (a "Selling Holder Questionnaire") no later than the Closing Date. The Company shall not be required to include the Registrable Securities of a Holder in the Registration Statement who fails to furnish to the Company a fully completed Selling Holder Questionnaire by the later of (i) the Closing Date or (ii) at least five Trading Days prior to the date of filing of the Registration Statement or pre-effective amendment to the Registration Statement (in no event is the Company required to delay filing the Registration Statement or any pre-effective amendment thereto). Each Holder also agrees to provide the Company with such other information as may be reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder, including but not limited to providing such information in a timely manner regarding itself, the Registrable Securities and other securities of the Company held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably required to effect and maintain the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities. The Company shall not be required to include the Registrable Securities of a Holder who fails to provide such reasonably requested information or who objects to the inclusion of required disclosure in the Registration Statement regarding such Holder, the Registrable Securities and other securities of the Company held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities.




  (d)

Notwithstanding Section 2(a) hereof, the Company may delay or suspend the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (a "Delay Period") if the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith that the disclosure of material non-public information ("Pending Developments") at such time would be detrimental to the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided that if a Delay Period occurs or if, for any other reason, after effectiveness the Registration Statement is not available to enable Holders to effect resales thereunder, the term of any Delay Period(s) and period(s) during which the Registration Statement is otherwise unavailable for use in effecting such resales, the period during which the Registration Statement shall be required to remain effective specified in clause (i) of Section 2(a) of this Schedule "F" shall be extended by the aggregate of the term(s) of any Delay Period(s) or other period(s) during which the Registration Statement may not be used by Holders to effect resales thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will a Delay Period be in effect or the ability of the holders of the Securities, the Compensation Options, the Broker Warrants or the common shares underlying these securities to effect resales under such registration statement be impaired during any period in which the Company is effecting a primary public offering of its securities in the United States or Canada so that holders of the Securities, the Compensation Options, the Broker Warrants and the common shares underlying these securities shall have the ability to effect public resales of their securities at the same time and on the same basis as purchasers in any such primary public offering.

     
 

The aggregate Delay Period for all Pending Developments shall not exceed 45 calendar days in any 180-day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing , the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Registration Statement is declared effective and its permitted use is resumed following a suspension as promptly as practicable. The Company shall not be required to specify in the written notice to the Holders the nature of the event giving rise to the Delay Period. The notice of the existence of a Pending Development shall remain confidential to such Holder until such information otherwise becomes public, unless disclosure by the Holder is required by law and provided that notwithstanding such Holder’s agreement to keep such information confidential, each such Holder makes no acknowledgment that any such information is material, non-public information.

     
  Section 3. Registration Procedures.
     
 

In connection with the Company's registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

     
  (a)

Not less than five Trading Days prior to the filing of the Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall (i) furnish to each Holder copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such Holders, and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent certified public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to each Holder, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company shall not file a Registration Statement or any Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which a majority of the Holders of Registrable Securities object in good faith, provided that the Company is notified of such objection in writing no later than five Trading Days after the Holders have been so furnished copies of a Registration Statement or any Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto. The Company and the Holders agree to act in good faith to resolve such objections of the Holders.




  (b)

(i) prepare and file with reasonable promptness with the Commission such amendments, including post effective amendments, to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective as to the Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period; (ii) cause the Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the Registration Statement and the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement.

     
  (c)

Notify the Holders as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) and (iv) below, not less than three Trading Days prior to such filing and, in the case of (v) below, not less than three Trading Days prior to the financial statements in any Registration Statement becoming ineligible for inclusion therein) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post effective amendment to the Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a "review" of the Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on the Registration Statement (the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the Holders that pertain to the Holders as a Selling Stockholder or to the Plan of Distribution, but not information which the Company believes would constitute material and non- public information); and (C) with respect to the Registration Statement or any post effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in the Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading., and (vi) the occurrence of a Delay Period.

     
  (d)

Use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

     
  (e)

Furnish to each Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission.

     
  (f)

Promptly deliver to each Holder, without charge, copies of each Prospectus or Prospectuses and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request. The Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.




  (g)

The Company shall, at its own expense, cooperate with the Agents and U.S. broker-dealers who, in connection with any resale, may reasonably be considered to be acting as underwriters, with respect to any filing made by any of them with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc. ("FINRA") Corporate Financing Department pursuant to NASD Rule 2710(b)(4)(a)(i) so as to permit such filing and any amendments thereto to be made on a timely basis, if required.

       
  (h)

Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Subscription Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may request.

       
  (i)

Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(v), use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Registration Statement or Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as practicable and shall promptly prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, no Registration Statement nor any Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this section 3(i) to suspend the availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus for an aggregate period, including any Delay Period, not to exceed 45 calendar days in any 180-day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will such a suspension be in effect during any period in which the Company is effecting a primary public offering of its securities in the United States or Canada, so that holders of the Securities, the Compensation Options, the Broker Warrants and the common shares underlying these securities shall have the ability to effect public resales of their securities at the same time and on the same basis as purchasers in any such primary public offering.

       
  (j)

Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission.

       
 

Section 4. Obligations of Each Holder. In connection with the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, each Holder shall:

       
  (a)

in the event of an underwritten offering of such Registrable Securities in which such Holder participates, enter into a customary and reasonable underwriting agreement and execute such other documents as the Company and the managing underwriter for such offering may reasonably request; and

       
  (b)

notify the Company when it has sold all of the Registrable Securities held by it.

       

Section 5. Registration Expenses.  All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Schedule by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and auditors, and other reasonable counsel fees and expenses, and including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings made with the Commission, (B) with respect to filings required to be made with any trading market or exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, (C) with respect to filing fees of FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110, and (D) with respect to fees relating to compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities, (ii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iii) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (iv) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (v) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Schedule. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Schedule (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder.




  Section 6. Indemnification.
     
  (a)

Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or Schedule, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, agents, investment advisors, brokers (including brokers who offer to sell Registrable Securities as principal as a result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call effected on a Holder), partners, members and employees of each of them (and any other persons with a functionally equivalent role of a person holding such titles or performing such functions, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys' fees) and expenses (collectively, "Losses"), as incurred, arising out of or relating (1) to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and (2) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and Schedule, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (1) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder's proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose) or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(ii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of an Advice or an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice or the amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected. The Company shall notify the Holders promptly in writing of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Schedule.

     
  (b)

Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising solely out of or based solely upon: (x) such Holder's failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act or (y) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely out of or based solely upon any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent that, (1) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder's proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(ii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of an Advice or an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice or the amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.




  (c)

Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an "Indemnified Party"), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement and Schedule, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

     
 

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel to the Indemnified Party that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

     
 

All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).




  (d)

Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 6(a) or 6(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(c), any reasonable attorneys' or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

     
 

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

     
 

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

     
  Section 7. Miscellaneous.
     
  (a)

Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

     
  (b)

Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c)(iii) through (vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing (the "Advice") by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop transfer orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company agrees and acknowledges that any periods during which the Holder is required to discontinue the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3(c)(v) and (vi) hereunder shall be subject to the limitations set forth in the last sentence of Section 3(h).

     
  (c)

Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Schedule.

     
  (d)

Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Schedule, including the provisions of this Section 7(d), may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of no less than a majority interest of the Registrable Securities (treated together as a single class). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of certain Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates.




  (e)

Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be provided in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreement to which this Schedule is attached; provided however, that all written notices or copies of documents required to be provided pursuant to this Schedule may be electronic copies transmitted electronically to the Holder’s email address as set forth on the Selling Shareholder Questionnaire, or at set other email address as provided to the Company by the Holder.

     
  (f)

Successors and Assigns. The Company may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Holder. The rights under this Schedule shall be automatically assignable by the Investors to any transferee of 1,000 (one thousand) Registrable Securities if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment; (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; (iii) the transfer of assignment is completed prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or immediately following such transfer or assignment if the further disposition of the securities is restricted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws; (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Subscription Agreement.

     
  (g)

Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Schedule is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

     
  (h)

Headings. The headings in this Schedule are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

     
  (i)

Independent Nature of Holders' Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Holder under this Schedule are several and not joint with the obligations of each other Holder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder under this Schedule. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Schedule. Each Holder acknowledges that no other Holder will be acting as agent of such Holder in enforcing its rights under this Schedule. Each Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Schedule, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Holders has been provided with the same Schedule for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Holders and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Holder.



ANNEX A

Plan of Distribution

Each Selling Stockholder (the "Selling Stockholders") of the common stock ("Common Stock") of U.S. Geothermal Inc., a corporation incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Company") and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on the NYSE Amex, Toronto Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

  • ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker dealer solicits purchasers;
     

  • block trades in which the broker dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
     

  • purchases by a broker dealer as principal and resale by the broker dealer for its account;
     

  • an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
     

  • privately negotiated transactions;
     

  • settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
     

  • broker dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
     

  • a combination of any such methods of sale;
     

  • through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or
     

  • any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers dealers to participate in sales. Broker dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with NASD Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASD IM-2440.

In connection with the sale of the Common Stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of the Common Stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).


The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the Common Stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the Common Stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any underwriter or other person to distribute the Common Stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would not exceed customary fees and commissions.

The Selling Stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this prospectus.

The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the shares of Common Stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this prospectus.

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares, but the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. Each Selling Stockholder has advised us that they have not entered into any written or oral agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriter or broker-dealer regarding the sale of the Common Stock. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) two years following closing, or (ii) such time as all shares covered by the registration statement have been sold publicly. The Common Stock will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the Common Stock may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the Common Stock may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Common Stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. We have advised each Selling Stockholder that it may not use shares registered under this Registration Statement to cover short sales of Common Stock made prior to the date on which this Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.
