Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto agree that compliance with the limitations set forth in this Section 3 on the number and aggregate sales price of Shares issued and sold under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of the Company and that the Manager shall have no obligation in connection with such compliance. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Company to use the Registration Statement to issue, deliver and sell the Shares. Each of the Company and the Manager hereby agree and acknowledge that all sales and solicitations of sales of Shares by the Manager as agent of the Company shall be made solely in the United States and not on or through the facilities of any Canadian Market and shall otherwise be made in compliance with Section 3(b)(xi) of this Agreement.

(a)

Appointment of Manager as Selling Agent. The Company hereby appoints the Manager as exclusive agent of the Company for the purpose of selling the Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the Manager agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares on the terms and subject to the conditions stated herein. In using commercially reasonable efforts to sell Shares, as sales agent for the Company, the Manager will undertake such sales in a manner that is consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state, provincial and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of the Trading Market.

(b)

Agent Sales. Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Company may issue and sell Shares from time to time through the Manager, acting as sales agent, and the Manager agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell, as sales agent for the Company, on the following terms:

(i)

The Shares are to be sold on a daily basis or otherwise as shall be agreed to by the Company and the Manager on any day that (A) is a Trading Day, (B) the Company has instructed the Manager by telephone (confirmed promptly by electronic mail) to make such sales (“Sales Notice”) and (C) the Company has satisfied its obligations under Section 7 of this Agreement. The Company will designate the maximum amount of the Shares to be sold by the Manager daily (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3(c)) and the minimum price per Share at which such Shares may be sold. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Manager shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell on a particular day all of the Shares designated for sale by the Company on such day. The gross sales price of the Shares sold under this Section 3(b) shall be the market price for the Common Shares sold by the Manager under this Section 3(b) on the Trading Market at the time of sale of such Shares.

(ii)

The Company acknowledges and agrees that (A) there can be no assurance that the Manager will be successful in selling the Shares, (B) the Manager will incur no liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell the Shares for any reason other than a failure by the Manager to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations to sell such Shares as required under this Agreement, and (C) the Manager shall be under no obligation to purchase Shares on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement.

(iii)

The Company shall not authorize the issuance and sale of, and the Manager shall not be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell, and shall not sell, any Shares at a price lower than the minimum price therefor designated from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), or a duly authorized committee thereof, or such duly authorized officers of the Company, and notified to the Manager in writing. The Company or the Manager may, upon notice to the other party hereto by telephone (confirmed promptly by electronic mail), suspend the offering of the Shares for any reason and at any time; provided, however, that such suspension or termination shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Shares sold hereunder prior to the giving of such notice.

(iv)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, during any period in which the Company is in possession of material non-public information, the Company and the Manager agree that (i) no sale of Shares will take place, (ii) the Company shall not request the sale of any Shares and (iii) the Manager shall not be obligated to sell or offer to sell any Shares.

(v)

Subject to the terms of a Sales Notice, the Manager may sell Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at-the-market distribution” or “at the market offering” under applicable securities laws, subject to the restrictions in Section 3(b)(ix). If expressly authorized by the Company in a Sales Notice and if so provided in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the U.S. Prospectus, the Manager may also sell Shares in privately negotiated transactions in the United States, subject to any required preclearance of any such transactions by the Trading Market or the CSE.

(vi)

The compensation to the Manager for sales of the Shares under this Section 3(b) shall be a placement fee of up to 3.0% of the gross sales price of the Shares sold pursuant to this Section 3(b) (“Broker Fee”). The remaining proceeds, after deduction of the Broker Fee and deduction for any transaction fees imposed by any clearing firm, execution broker, or governmental or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales, shall constitute the net proceeds to the Company for such Shares (the “Net Proceeds”).

(vii)

The Manager shall provide written confirmation (which may be by facsimile or electronic mail) to the Company following the close of trading on the Trading Market each day in which the Shares are sold under this Section 3(b) setting forth the number of the Shares sold on such day, the aggregate gross sales proceeds and the Net Proceeds to the Company, and the compensation payable by the Company to the Manager with respect to such sales.

On or before each Settlement Date, the Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Shares being sold by crediting the Manager’s account at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) via the Deposit and Withdrawal at Custody system. On each Settlement Date, the Manager shall deliver the Net Proceeds from the sale of the Shares to the Company in same day funds. If on any Settlement Date not all Shares were sold as issued pursuant to the Sales Notice, then, at the election of and upon notice from the Company, the Shares shall be applied to a future Settlement Date or returned to the Company.

(ix)

At each Applicable Time, Settlement Date and Representation Date, the Company shall be deemed to have affirmed each representation and warranty contained in this Agreement as if such representation and warranty were made as of such date (except for any such representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date), modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectuses as amended as of such date. Any obligation of the Manager to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares on behalf of the Company shall be subject to the continuing accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the continuing satisfaction of the additional conditions specified in Section 7 of this Agreement.

(x)

If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution” and the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive the Distribution, the “Record Date”), the Company hereby covenants that, in connection with any sales of Shares pursuant to a Sales Notice on the Record Date, the Company covenants and agrees that the Company shall issue and deliver such Shares to the Manager on the Record Date and the Record Date shall be the Settlement Date and the Company shall cover any additional costs of the Manager in connection with the delivery of Shares on the Record Date.

All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with all applicable securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities.

The Company will, at any time during the term of this Agreement, as supplemented from time to time, advise the Manager promptly after it shall have received notice or obtained knowledge thereof, of any information or fact that would result in any material statement made in any opinion, certificate, letter and other document provided to the Manager pursuant to Section 7 herein being materially inaccurate or untrue as of the date such statement was made.

(l)

Certification of Accuracy of Disclosure. Upon commencement of the offering of the Shares under this Agreement (and upon the recommencement of the offering of the Shares under this Agreement following the termination or a suspension of sales hereunder lasting more than 30 Trading Days), and each time that (i) the Registration Statement or Prospectuses shall be amended or supplemented, other than by means of Incorporated Documents, (ii) the Company files its Annual Report on Form 40-F or Form 20-F under the Exchange Act (including any Form 40-F/A or Form 20-F/A that includes amended audited financial information), (iii) the Company furnishes its unaudited financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis on Form 6-K under the Exchange Act, or (iv) the Company files a Report on Form 6-K containing amended financial information (other than information that is furnished and not filed), if the Manager reasonably determines that the information in such Form 6-K is material and notifies the Company thereof (such commencement or recommencement date and each such date referred to in (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, a “Representation Date”), unless waived by the Manager, the Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Manager, within one Business Day of such Representation Date, and in any event prior to the delivery of the first Sales Notice following such Representation Date (and any Sales Notices delivered prior to, and effective following, a Representation Date shall be suspended by the Company (with written notice to the Manager) until this provision is complied with), a certificate dated and delivered on the Representation Date, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Manager to the effect that the statements contained in the certificate referred to in Section 7 of this Agreement which was last furnished to the Manager are true and correct at the Representation Date, as though made at and as of such date (except that such statements shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectuses as amended and supplemented to such date) or, in lieu of such certificate, a certificate of the same tenor as the certificate referred to in said Section 7, modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectuses as amended and supplemented to the date of delivery of such certificate. The requirement to furnish or cause to be furnished a certificate under this Section 5(l) shall be waived for any Representation Date occurring on a date on which no instruction to the Manager to sell Shares pursuant to this Agreement has been delivered by the Company or is pending. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Shares following any Representation Date when the Company relied on such waiver and did not provide the Manager a certificate pursuant to this Section 5(l), then, before the Company is entitled to deliver a Sales Notice to the Manager to sell Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall provide the Manager with such a certificate.

(m)

Bring Down Opinions; Negative Assurance. At each Representation Date, unless otherwise waived by the Manager, the Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished forthwith to the Manager and to counsel to the Manager (i) the written opinion and a negative assurance letter of Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP, U.S. counsel for the Company (“U.S. Company Counsel”) and (ii) the written opinion of DLA Piper (Canada) LLP, Canadian counsel for the Company (“Canadian Company Counsel” and, collectively with U.S. Company Counsel, “Company Counsel”), in each case addressed to the Manager and dated and delivered the date that the opinions are required to be delivered, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Manager. In lieu of delivering such an opinion or such opinions for Representation Dates subsequent to the commencement of the offering of the Shares under this Agreement, Company Counsel may furnish the Manager with a letter to the effect that the Manager may rely on a prior opinion delivered under Section 7(b) or this Section 5(m) to the same extent as if it were dated the date of such letter (except that statements in such prior opinion shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectuses as amended or supplemented as of such subsequent Representation Date). The requirement to deliver or cause to be delivered one or more opinions under this Section 5(m) shall be waived for any Representation Date occurring on a date on which no instruction to the Manager to sell Shares pursuant to this Agreement has been delivered by the Company or is pending. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Shares following any Representation Date when the Company relied on such waiver and did not provide or cause to be provided to the Manager the opinions contemplated in this Section 5(m), then, before the Company is entitled to deliver a Sales Notice to the Manager to sell Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall provide or cause to be provided the Manager such opinion(s).

(n)

At each Representation Date, unless waived by the Manager, the Company shall cause (1) the Company’s auditors (the “Accountants”), or other independent accountants satisfactory to the Manager forthwith to furnish the Manager a letter, and (2) the Chief Financial Officer of the Company forthwith to furnish the Manager a certificate, in each case dated on such Representation Date, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Manager, of the same tenor as the letters and certificate referred to in Section 7(d) of this Agreement but modified to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectuses, as amended and supplemented to the date of such letters and certificate. The requirement to deliver or cause to be delivered one or more letters and certificates under this Section 5(n) shall be waived for any Representation Date occurring on a date on which no instruction to the Manager to sell Shares pursuant to this Agreement has been delivered by the Company or is pending. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Shares following any Representation Date when the Company relied on such waiver and did not provide or cause to be provided to the Manager the letters or certificates contemplated in this Section 5(n), then, before the Company is entitled to deliver a Sales Notice to the Manager to sell Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall provide or cause to be provided the Manager such letters and certificates.

(o)

Due Diligence Session. Upon commencement of the offering of the Shares under this Agreement (and upon the recommencement of the offering of the Shares under this Agreement following the termination or a suspension of sales hereunder lasting more than 30 Trading Days), and at each Representation Date, unless waived by the Manager, the Company will conduct a due diligence session, in form and substance, reasonably satisfactory to the Manager, which shall include representatives of management and the Accountants. The Company shall reasonably cooperate in a timely manner with any reasonable due diligence request from or review conducted by the Manager or its agents from time to time in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, providing information and available documents and access to appropriate corporate officers and the Company’s agents during regular United States and Canadian business hours.

(q)

Rescission Right. If, at any time on or after the time that a person has agreed to purchase Shares from the Company as the result of an offer to purchase solicited by the Manager pursuant to a Sales Notice but prior to the related Settlement Date, the Company or the Manager becomes aware that (i) the Registration Statement or the U.S. Prospectus included at the date of such sale contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the U.S. Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (ii) the conditions set forth in Section 7 have not been satisfied in connection with such sale, the Company will, prior to the related Settlement Date for such Shares, offer to such person the right to refuse to purchase and pay for such Shares.

(r)

Bring Down of Representations and Warranties. Each acceptance by the Company of an offer to purchase the Shares hereunder shall be deemed to be an affirmation to the Manager that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of the date of such acceptance as though made at and as of such date (except for any such representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date), and an undertaking that such representations and warranties will be true and correct in all material respects as of the Settlement Date for the Shares relating to such acceptance, as though made at and as of such date (except for any such representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date), except that such representations and warranties shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectuses as amended and supplemented at such date.

(s)

Reservation of Shares. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shares to be listed for trading on the Trading Market and to maintain such listing.

(w)

Other Consideration.

(x)

Additional Registration Statement. To the extent that the Registration Statement is not available for the sales of the Shares as contemplated by this Agreement, the Company shall file a new registration statement with respect to any additional Common Shares necessary to complete such sales of the Shares and shall cause such registration statement to become effective as promptly as practicable. After the effectiveness of any such registration statement, all references to “Registration Statement” included in this Agreement shall be deemed to include such new registration statement, including all documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Form F-10, and all references to “U.S. Base Prospectus” included in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the final form of prospectus, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, included in any such registration statement at the time such registration statement became effective.

Conditions to the Obligations of the Manager. The obligations of the Manager under this Agreement shall be subject to (i) the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company contained herein as of the Execution Time, each Representation Date, and as of each Applicable Time and each Settlement Date (except for any representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date), (ii) the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and (iii) the following additional conditions:

(i)

the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date with the same effect as if made on such date (except for any such representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date) and the Company has complied in all material respects with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to such date;

8.	Indemnification and Contribution.

(a)

Indemnification by Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Manager, the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Manager and each person who controls the Manager within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Shares as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Base Prospectuses, any Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectuses, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Base Prospectuses, any Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectuses, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment there of or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or result from or relate to any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Manager specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have.

(b)

Indemnification by Manager. The Manager agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Manager, but only with reference to written information relating to the Manager furnished to the Company by the Manager specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity; provided, however, that in no case shall the Manager be responsible for any amount in excess of the Broker Fee applicable to the Shares and paid hereunder. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Manager may otherwise have.

(c)

Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above, and the contribution obligation under paragraph (d) below. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ a single separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, with the advice of counsel, that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. An indemnified party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder.

(d)

Contribution. In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Manager agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company and the Manager may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Manager on the other from the offering of the Shares; provided, however, that in no case shall the Manager be responsible for any amount in excess of the Broker Fee applicable to the Shares and paid hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Manager severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Manager on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Manager shall be deemed to be equal to the Broker Fee applicable to the Shares and paid hereunder as determined by this Agreement. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Manager on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Manager agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls the Manager within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of the Manager shall have the same rights to contribution as the Manager, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

9.	Termination.

(a)

The Company shall have the right, by giving written notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate the provisions of this Agreement relating to the solicitation of offers to purchase the Shares in its sole discretion at any time upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice.

(c)

This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until August 15, 2023 unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Sections 9(a) or (b) above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties, provided that any such termination by mutual agreement shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, the second sentence of 14, 15 and 16 shall remain in full force and effect.

(d)

Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by the Manager or the Company, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of the Shares effected prior to such termination, such sale shall settle in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(b) of this Agreement.

10.

Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Manager set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by the Manager or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 8, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Shares.

Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling persons referred to in Section 8, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. Neither party may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations it has hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party.

13.

No Fiduciary Duty. The Company hereby acknowledges that (a) the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the Manager and any affiliate through which the Manager may be acting, on the other, (b) the Manager is acting solely as sales agent and/or principal in connection with the purchase and sale of the Company’s securities and not as a fiduciary of the Company and (c) the Company’s engagement of the Manager in connection with the offering and the process leading up to the offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Company agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether the Manager has advised or is currently advising the Company on related or other matters). The Company agrees that it will not claim that the Manager has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

14.

Integration. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the Manager with respect to the subject matter hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the letter agreement, dated September 1, 2022, by and between the Company and the Manager shall continue to be effective and the terms therein shall continue to survive and be enforceable by the Manager in accordance with its terms, provided that, in the event of a conflict between the terms of the letter agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail solely with respect to the subject matter hereof.

15.

Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Manager. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the future exercise of any such right.

16.

If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provision of this Agreement, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
