The Corporation has prepared and filed with the securities regulatory authorities in the Qualifying Jurisdictions (collectively, the “Securities Commissions”) a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus dated August 6, 2013, as amended and restated August 23, 2013 (collectively, the “Preliminary Base Prospectus”), and a final short form base shelf prospectus dated October 3, 2013 in respect of up to $80,000,000 aggregate principal amount of debt securities, common shares, warrants, subscription receipts, preferred shares and units of the Corporation (collectively, the “Shelf Securities”) pursuant to applicable Canadian Securities Laws. The Corporation selected the Ontario Securities Commission (the “Reviewing Authority”) as its principal regulator in respect of the offering of the Shelf Securities, and the Reviewing Authority has issued a decision document (a “Decision Document”) under MI 11-102 on behalf of itself and the other Securities Commissions for each of the Preliminary Base Prospectus and the Base Prospectus. The term “Base Prospectus” means the final short form base shelf prospectus relating to the Shelf Securities, including any documents incorporated therein by reference and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or included therein pursuant to Canadian Securities Laws, at the time the Reviewing Authority issued a Decision Document with respect thereto in accordance with Canadian Securities Laws, including NI 44-101 and NI 44-102 (together, the “Canadian Shelf Procedures”).

All references in this Agreement to financial statements and other information which is “contained,” “included” or “stated” in the Preliminary Base Prospectus, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus (or other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and other information which is incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by Canadian Securities Laws to be a part of or included in the Preliminary Base Prospectus, the Base Prospectus, or the Prospectus, as the case may be.

For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Preliminary Base Prospectus, the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing (including any Supplementary Material), shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Securities Commissions on SEDAR.

Until the date on which the distribution of the Offered Shares is completed, the Corporation shall promptly take, or cause to be taken, all additional steps and proceedings that may from time to time be required under Canadian Securities Laws to continue to qualify the distribution of the Offered Shares for sale to the public and the grant of the Over-Allotment Option to the Underwriters, or, in the event that the Offered Shares or the Over-Allotment Option have, for any reason, ceased to so qualify, to again so qualify them.

Prior to the filing or use of the Offering Documents and thereafter, during the period of distribution of the Offered Shares, the Corporation shall have allowed the Underwriters to participate fully in the preparation of, and, acting reasonably, to approve the form and content of, such documents and shall have allowed the Underwriters to conduct all due diligence investigations (which shall include the attendance of management of the Corporation, the auditors and any other consultants requested by the Underwriters at one or more due diligence sessions to be held) which they may reasonably require in order to fulfill their obligations as Underwriters and in order to enable them to responsibly execute the certificate required to be executed by them at the end of the Prospectus.

The Corporation shall deliver to each of the Underwriters:

prior to the time of each filing thereof, a copy of the Prospectus manually signed on behalf of the Corporation, by the persons and in the form signed and certified as required by Canadian Securities Laws;

prior to the time of filing thereof, a copy of any Supplementary Material, or other document required to be filed with or delivered to, the Securities Commissions by the Corporation under Canadian Securities Laws in connection with the Offering, including any document incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (other than documents already filed publicly with a Securities Commission); and

concurrently with the filing of the Prospectus with the Securities Commissions, a “long- form” comfort letter of Deloitte LLP dated the date of the Prospectus (with the requisite procedures to be completed by such auditor within two (2) Business Days of the date of such letter), in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriters, acting reasonably, addressed to the Underwriters and the directors and officers of the Corporation, with respect to certain financial and accounting information relating to the Corporation in the Prospectus, including all Documents Incorporated by Reference, which letter shall be in addition to the auditors’ report incorporated by reference in the Prospectus.

The Corporation represents and warrants to the Underwriters with respect to the Offering Documents that as at their respective dates of delivery:

all information and statements in such documents (including information and statements incorporated by reference) (except information and statements relating solely to the Underwriters and furnished by them specifically for use in a Prospectus) are true and correct, in all material respects, and contain no misrepresentation and constitute full, true and plain disclosure of all material facts relating to the Corporation, the Offering and the Offered Shares, as required by Canadian Securities Laws;

no material fact or information in such documents (including information and statements incorporated by reference) (except information and statements relating solely to the Underwriters and furnished by them specifically for use in a Prospectus) has been omitted therefrom which is required to be stated in such disclosure or is necessary to make the statements or information contained in such disclosure not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made; and

The Corporation shall cause commercial copies of the Prospectus, to be delivered to the Underwriters without charge, in such quantities and in such cities as the Underwriters may reasonably request by written instructions to the printer of such documents as soon as possible after the filing of the Prospectus with the Securities Commissions, but, in any event on or before noon (Toronto time) on the next Business Day after the filing of the Prospectus. Such deliveries shall constitute the consent of the Corporation to the Underwriters’ use of the Prospectus for the distribution of the Offered Shares in the Qualifying Jurisdictions in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and Canadian Securities Laws. The Corporation shall similarly cause to be delivered commercial copies of any Supplementary Material and hereby similarly consents to the Underwriters’ use thereof. The Corporation shall cause to be provided to the Underwriters, without cost, such number of copies of any Documents Incorporated by Reference as the Underwriters may reasonably request for use in connection with the distribution of the Offered Shares.

If during the period of distribution of the Offered Shares there shall be any change in Canadian Securities Laws which, in the opinion of the Co-Lead Underwriters and their legal counsel, acting reasonably, requires the filing of any Supplementary Material, upon written notice from the Co- Lead Underwriters, the Corporation covenants and agrees with the Co-Lead Underwriters that it shall, to the satisfaction of the Co-Lead Underwriters, acting reasonably, promptly prepare and file such Supplementary Material with the appropriate Securities Commissions where such filing is required.

If for any reason (other than a determination as to any of the events referred to above) the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to an Indemnified Party, or is insufficient to hold them harmless, then the Indemnitor shall contribute to the Losses paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnitor on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other hand but also the relative fault of the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party as well as any relevant equitable considerations, provided that the Indemnitor shall in any event contribute to the Losses paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such Claim, in such amount that is in excess of the amount of the Commission actually received by the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement. In the case of liability arising out of the Offering Documents, the relative fault of the Corporation, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference, among other things, to whether the misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation, order, inquiry, investigation or other matter or thing referred to in Section 13 relates to information supplied or which ought to have been supplied by, or steps or actions taken or done on behalf of or which ought to have been taken or done on behalf of the Corporation or the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation, order, inquiry, investigation or other matter or thing referred to in Section 13. In no event, shall the Indemnified Parties be responsible to pay any amount in excess of the amount of the Commission actually received by it and the Indemnitor agrees not to seek or claim any such excess amounts pursuant to this Section 13(2). In the event that the Indemnitor may be entitled to contribution from the Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 13(2), the Indemnitor shall be limited to contribution in any amount not exceeding the lesser of the portion of the Losses giving rise to such contribution for which the Underwriters are responsible and the amount of the Commission received by the Underwriters.

Promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any legal proceeding against an Indemnified Party or after receipt of notice of the commencement of any investigation, which is based, directly or indirectly, upon any matter in respect of which indemnification may be sought from the Indemnitor, the Underwriters will notify the Corporation in writing of the commencement thereof and, throughout the course thereof, will provide copies of all relevant documentation to the Indemnitor, will keep the Indemnitor advised of the progress thereof and will discuss with the Indemnitor all significant actions proposed. The omission to so notify the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Parties, except to the extent that the failure to so notify materially prejudicially affects the Indemnitor. The Indemnitor shall on behalf of itself and the Indemnified Party, as applicable, be entitled to (but not required to), at its own expense, participate in and assume the defence of any Claim, provided such defence is conducted by legal counsel of good standing acceptable to the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably, and the Indemnitor shall throughout the course thereof provide copies of all relevant documentation to the Indemnified Party, will keep the Indemnified Party advised of all discussions and significant actions proposed in respect thereof. The Indemnified Parties shall also have the right to appoint its or their own separate legal counsel at the Indemnitor’s cost provided the Indemnified Parties act reasonably in selecting such legal counsel.

The Indemnitor agrees that in case any legal proceeding shall be brought against the Indemnitor and/or any Indemnified Party by any governmental commission or regulatory authority or any stock exchange or other entity having regulatory authority, either domestic or foreign, or any such authority shall investigate the Indemnitor and/or any Indemnified Party and any Indemnified Parties or their personnel shall be required to testify in connection therewith or shall be required to participate or respond to procedures designed to discover information regarding, in connection with, or by reason of the performance of professional services rendered to the Corporation by the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own legal counsel in connection therewith, provided they act reasonably in selecting such legal counsel, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such legal counsel as well as the reasonable costs (including an amount to reimburse the Indemnified Parties for time spent by them or their personnel in connection therewith at their normal per diem rates together with such disbursements and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Indemnified Parties or their personnel in connection therewith) shall be paid by the Indemnitor as they occur.

A party hereunder shall not, without the other party’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or make an admission of liability with respect to any Claims or seek to terminate any Claims in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder. Neither party hereunder shall be liable for any such settlement of any Claim unless it has consented in writing to such settlement, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

The rights of indemnity contained in this Section 13 shall not apply if the Corporation has complied with the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 and the person asserting any claim contemplated by this Section 13 was not provided with a copy of the Prospectus, any amendment to the Prospectus, any Supplementary Material or other document which corrects any misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation which is the basis of such claim and which was required, under Securities Laws, to be delivered to such person and which the Corporation has provided to the Underwriters to forward to such person.

The rights accorded to the Indemnified Parties hereunder shall be in addition to any rights an Indemnified Party may have at common law or otherwise.

The Indemnitor agrees to waive any right the Indemnitor may have of first requiring the Indemnified Party to proceed against or enforce any right, power, remedy, security or claim payment from any other person before claiming under this indemnity. The Indemnitor hereby acknowledges that the Underwriters are acting as trustees for each of the other Indemnified Parties of the Indemnitor’s covenants under this indemnity and the Underwriters agree to accept such trust and to hold and enforce such covenants on behalf of such persons.

The indemnity and contribution obligations of the Indemnitor shall be in addition to any liability which the Indemnitor may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to the Indemnified Parties who are not signatories hereto and shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Corporation and the Indemnified Parties.

Each Underwriter shall also be entitled to terminate its obligation to purchase the Offered Shares by written notice to that effect given to the Corporation at or prior to the Time of Closing if:

any inquiry, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding whether formal or informal (including matters of regulatory transgression or unlawful conduct) is instituted, announced, threatened, or any order or ruling is made or threatened by any federal, provincial, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, court, tribunal, agency, regulatory authority or other instrumentality, including without limitation, the TSX, NASDAQ or any securities regulatory authority involving the Corporation or any of its officers or directors (including those of its Subsidiaries), which, in each case, in the sole reasonable opinion of any Underwriter, operates to prevent, suspend or restrict materially the trading or distribution of the Common Shares of the Corporation or the Offered Shares, except for such inquiry, investigation, proceeding or order based solely on the activities of the Underwriters and not the Corporation;

there should develop, occur or come into effect or existence any occurrence, event or incident of any nature, including without limitation, accident, natural disaster, act or terrorism, public protest, governmental law or regulation, or major financial occurrence of national or international consequence, which in the sole opinion of any Underwriter seriously adversely affects or involves, or may seriously adversely affect or involve, the national or international financial markets or the properties, operations, business, affairs, financial condition or assets of the Corporation or any of the Subsidiaries, in aggregate taken as a whole, or the market price or value of the securities of the Corporation;

there is, in the reasonable opinion of any Underwriter, any material change in relation to the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, in aggregate taken as a whole, or any change in any material fact or a new material fact shall arise, or if there should, whether as a result of the Underwriters’ continuing due diligence or otherwise, be discovered any previously undisclosed material fact (including in respect of any of the Subsidiaries), required to be disclosed in the Prospectus which, in any case, in the sole reasonable opinion of the Underwriters, has or could be expected to have a significant adverse effect on the market price or value of the Corporation’s Common Shares;

the Corporation is in material breach of a term, condition or covenant of this Underwriting Agreement, or any representation or warranty given by the Corporation in this Underwriting Agreement or any ancillary document is false or untrue or has become false or untrue; or

an order to cease trading in the securities of the Corporation is made or threatened by any Securities Commission.

If this Agreement is terminated by any of the Underwriters pursuant to Section 17(1), there shall be no further liability on the part of such Underwriter or of the Corporation to such Underwriter, except in respect of any liability which may have arisen or may thereafter arise under Sections 13 and 15.

The right of the Underwriters or any of them to terminate their respective obligations under this Agreement is in addition to such other remedies as they may have in respect of any default, act or failure to act of the Corporation in respect of any of the matters contemplated by this Agreement. A notice of termination given by one Underwriter under this Section 17 shall not be binding upon the other Underwriters.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase the Offered Shares shall be several and not joint nor joint and several. The percentage of the Offered Shares to be severally purchased and paid for by each of the Underwriters shall be as follows:

If any of the Underwriters shall not complete the purchase and sale of its applicable percentage of the aggregate amount of the Offered Shares at the Time of Closing for any reason whatsoever, including by reason of Section 17 hereof, and the number of Offered Securities with respect to which such default relates is less than 10% of the aggregate number of Offered Shares, the other Underwriters shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to purchase the Offered Shares which would otherwise have been purchased by the Underwriter which fails to purchase but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, in the proportions that the number of Offered Securities set forth above opposite their respective names bears to the aggregate number of Offered Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Underwriters with the consent of the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase the Offered Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date. If any of the Underwriters shall not complete the purchase and sale of its applicable percentage of the aggregate amount of the Offered Shares at the Time of Closing for any reason whatsoever, including by reason of Section 17 hereof, and the number of Offered Securities with respect to which such default relates exceeds 10% of the aggregate number of Offered Shares, the other Underwriters shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to purchase the Offered Shares which would otherwise have been purchased by the Underwriter which fails to purchase. If, with respect to the Offered Shares, the non-defaulting Underwriters elect not to exercise such rights to assume the entire obligations of the defaulting Underwriter, then the Corporation shall have the right to either: (i) proceed with the sale of the Offered Shares (less the defaulted shares) to the non-defaulting Underwriters; or (ii) terminate its obligations hereunder without liability except pursuant to the provisions of Section 13 and Section 15 in respect of the non-defaulting Underwriters. For greater certainty, nothing in this Section 18(2)will relieve any defaulting Underwriter from any liability under this Agreement for failure to purchase its proportionate share of Offered Securities otherwise from its default.

Additionally, nothing in this Section 18 shall oblige the Corporation to sell to the Underwriters less than all of the Offered Shares or shall relieve an Underwriter in default hereunder from liability to the Corporation.

Without affecting the firm obligation of the Underwriters to purchase from the Corporation 16,000,000 Offered Shares at the Offering Price in accordance with this Agreement, after the Underwriters have made reasonable effort to sell all of the Offered Shares at the Offering Price, the Offering Price may be decreased by the Underwriters and further changed from time to time to an amount not greater than the Offering Price specified herein provided such variations to the Offering Price will be in accordance with Applicable Securities Laws and will not decrease the amount of the net proceeds of the Offering to be paid by the Underwriters to the Corporation ($1.615 per Offered Share), before deducting expenses of the Offering. The Underwriters will inform the Corporation if the Offering Price is decreased.

Except with respect to Section 13, Section 17 and Section 18, all transactions and notices on behalf of the Underwriters hereunder or contemplated hereby may be carried out or given on behalf of the Underwriters by a Co- Lead Underwriter, who shall in good faith discuss with the other Co-Lead Underwriters the nature of any such transactions and notices prior to giving effect thereto or the delivery thereof, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall be entitled to and shall act on any notice, waiver, extension or communication given by or on behalf of the Underwriters by the Co-Lead Underwriters, who shall represent the Underwriters, and who shall have the authority to bind the Underwriters in respect of all matters hereunder, except in respect of any settlement under Section 13, any matter referred to in Section 17 or any agreement under Section 18.

Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the Underwriters and the Corporation and their respective successors and legal representatives.

Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

Time of the Essence. Time shall be of the essence hereof and, following any waiver or indulgence by any party, time shall again be of the essence hereof.

Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Corporation and/or the Underwriters herein contained or contained in documents submitted pursuant to this Agreement and in connection with the transaction of purchase and sale herein contemplated shall survive for a period ending on the date that is two years following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Section 13 shall survive the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares and the termination of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the Underwriters or the Corporation, as the case may be, regardless of any subsequent disposition of the Offered Shares or any investigation by or on behalf of the Underwriters with respect thereto without limitation other than any limitation requirements of applicable law. The Underwriters and the Corporation shall be entitled to rely on the representations and warranties of the Corporation or the Underwriters, as the case may be, contained herein or delivered pursuant hereto notwithstanding any investigation which the Underwriters or the Corporation may undertake or which may be undertaken on their behalf.

Such stabilizing transactions, if any, may be discontinued by the Underwriters at any time.
