|
|
1.
|
The Warrants, when issued and delivered against payment for the consideration therefor specified in the Securities Purchase Agreements, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company,
enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.
|
The Placement Agent Warrants, when issued and delivered pursuant to the terms of an engagement letter, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in
accordance with their terms.
|
|
|
|
|
(a)
|
Our opinions set forth above are subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar law relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally (including,
without limitation, fraudulent conveyance laws).
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
Our opinions set forth above are subject to the effect of general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible
unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
|
(c)
|
Our opinions set forth above are subject to limitations regarding the availability of indemnification and contribution where such indemnification or contribution may be limited by applicable law or the
application of principles of public policy.
|
|
(d)
|
We express no opinion as to (i) provisions that relate to choice of law, forum selection or submission to jurisdiction (including, without limitation, any express or implied waiver of any objection to venue
in any court or of any objection that a court is an inconvenient forum) to the extent that the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any such provision is to be determined by any court other than a state court of the State of New
York, (ii) waivers by the Company of any statutory or constitutional rights or remedies, (iii) terms which excuse any person or entity from liability for, or require the Company to indemnify such person or entity against, such person’s or
entity’s negligence or willful misconduct or (iv) obligations to pay any prepayment premium, default interest rate, early termination fee or other form of liquidated damages, if the payment of such premium, interest rate, fee or damages may
be construed as unreasonable in relation to actual damages or disproportionate to actual damages suffered as a result of such prepayment, default or termination.
|
|
(e)
|
We draw your attention to the fact that, under certain circumstances, the enforceability of terms to the effect that provisions may not be waived or modified except in writing may be limited.
|
|
(f)
|
We have assumed that the Company is validly existing, has the corporate power to perform its obligations under any Warrant and Placement Agent Warrant, and that it has taken the required steps to authorize
the creation of such obligations under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).
|
|
(g)
|
We have also assumed that the choice of New York law to govern the Warrants and Placement Agent Warrant is a valid and legal provision.

Very truly yours,
