The securities offered by this short form prospectus may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor may this short form prospectus or any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the offer and sale of any such securities be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of that jurisdiction.

For greater certainty, nothing contained herein shall in any way obligate the Agents to purchase any Debentures and this Agreement (as defined below) does not constitute a commitment by, or legally binding obligation of, the Agents or any of its affiliates to act as underwriters, initial purchasers, arrangers, and/or placement agents in connection with any offering of securities of the Company, including the Debentures, or to provide or arrange any financing, other than the appointment of the Agents as agents in connection with the Offering on the terms set forth herein.

Deferred income tax assets, including those arising from unutilized tax losses, require management to assess the likelihood that the Corporation will generate taxable income in future periods in order to utilize recognized deferred tax assets. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows from operations and the application of existing laws in each applicable jurisdiction. Future taxable income is also significantly dependent upon the Corporation completing a Qualifying Acquisition, the underlying structure of a Qualifying Acquisition, and the resulting nature of operations. To the extent that future cash flows and/or the probability, structure and timing, and the nature of operations of a future Qualifying Acquisition differ significantly from estimates made, the ability of the Corporation to realize a deferred income tax asset could be materially impacted.

Process in any action or proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the State of Washington. The parties hereto irrevocably waive the right to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding under this Agreement or any action or proceeding arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby, regardless of which party initiates such action or proceeding.
