(2) Without limiting the generality of clause (1) above, during the distribution of the Offered Shares:

(a) subject to Section 7(2)(d), the Corporation shall prepare, in consultation with the Underwriters, and shall approve in writing, prior to the time that any such marketing materials are provided to potential Purchasers, a template version of any marketing materials reasonably requested to be provided by the Underwriters to any such potential Purchasers, and such marketing materials shall comply with Applicable Securities Laws and shall be acceptable in form and substance to the Underwriters and their U.S. and Canadian counsel, acting reasonably;

(b) the Lead Underwriter, on behalf of the Underwriters, shall approve a template version of any such marketing materials in writing prior to the time that such marketing materials are provided to potential Purchasers;

(d) following the approvals and filings set forth in Section 3(2)(a) to Section 3(2)(c) above, the Underwriters may provide a limited use version of such marketing materials to potential Purchasers and which shall comply with Applicable Securities Laws.

(d) the occurrence of any event as a result of which (i) the Registration Statement or any U.S. Registration Statement Amendment, in each case as amended immediately prior to such occurrence, would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) the U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, the U.S. Prospectus, any U.S. Amended Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in each case as then amended or supplemented (in the case of the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time), would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading.

(5) The Corporation shall in good faith discuss with the Underwriters any fact or change in circumstances (actual, anticipated, contemplated or threatened, financial or otherwise) which is of such a nature that there is reasonable doubt whether written notice need be given under this Section 4.

Each of the Corporation's "subsidiaries" (for purposes of this Agreement "subsidiaries" means: Lithium Nevada Corp., KV Project LLC, 2265866 Ontario, Inc., Exar Capital B.V. and Minera Exar S.A.) has been duly incorporated or organized, as the case may be, and is validly existing as a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as applicable, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and has the power and authority (corporate or other) to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectuses. Each of the Corporation's subsidiaries is qualified as a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as applicable, to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Change (except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectuses). Subject to the security interests and covenants granted to the lenders under the Senior Credit Facility dated July 14, 2017, as amended, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock or other equity or ownership interests of each of the Corporation's subsidiaries have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned by the Corporation, directly or through subsidiaries (except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectuses), free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or adverse claim. None of the outstanding capital stock or equity interest in any subsidiary was issued in violation of pre-emptive or similar rights of any security holder of such subsidiary.

The description of the Corporation's stock option plan and other security-based compensation arrangements, and the options or other rights granted thereunder, set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectuses fairly presents in all material respects the information required to be shown with respect to such plans, arrangements, options and rights.

(o) Stock Exchange Listing. The Common Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed on the NYSE and the TSX and the Corporation has taken no action designed to, or likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Shares under the U.S. Exchange Act or delisting the Common Shares from the NYSE or the TSX, nor has the Corporation received any notification that the SEC, the NYSE or the TSX is contemplating terminating such registration or listing.

The Corporation's business, including that of each of its subsidiaries, as now conducted does not, and as currently proposed to be conducted is not reasonably expected to, infringe or conflict with patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, licenses or other intellectual property or franchise right of any person that would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Change. No claim has been made against the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries alleging the infringement by the Corporation or any subsidiary of any patent, trademark, service mark, trade name, copyright, trade secret, license in or other intellectual property right or franchise right of any person.

(s) All Necessary Permits, etc. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Prospectuses, in Schedule "C" attached hereto and such additional permits as may be required based on the development plan set forth in the upcoming feasibility study for the Thacker Pass Project, the Corporation and each subsidiary possess such valid and current certificates, authorizations or permits required by state, provincial, federal or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies to conduct their respective businesses as currently conducted and as described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses ("Permits"), except where the failure to possess such Permits or of such Permits to be valid and current would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Change. Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of, or in default under, any of the Permits or has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of, or non-compliance with, any such Permit which if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Change.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (i) own, control or have legal rights to, through mining claims of various types and descriptions or otherwise, all of the rights, titles and interests materially necessary or appropriate to authorize and enable it to access and carry on the material mineral exploration and/or mining, development and commissioning activities as currently being undertaken on the Mineral Properties, (ii) have obtained or expect to obtain (upon performance of all conditions precedent) such rights, titles and interests as may be reasonably required to implement their plans on such properties, and (iii) are not in material default of such rights, titles and interests. All assessments or other work required to be performed in relation to the material mining claims and the material Mining Rights (defined below) of the Corporation in order to maintain the Corporation's interest therein, if any, have been performed to date and/or are in the process to be performed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction where such subsidiary operates and the Corporation and each subsidiary has complied in all material respects with all applicable governmental laws, regulations and policies in this connection as well as with regard to legal, contractual obligations to third parties in this connection except in respect of mining claims and Mining Rights that the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries intends to abandon or relinquish and except for any non-compliance which would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Change. All such mining claims and Mining Rights are in good standing in all material respects.

(u) Exploration and Development. All exploration and development operations on the properties of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, including all operations and activities relating to the construction, development and commissioning of the Mineral Properties, have been conducted in all material respects in accordance with good exploration, development and engineering practices and all applicable material workers' compensation and health and safety and workplace laws, regulations and policies have been complied with in all material respects.

(v) Mining Rights. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectuses, the Corporation and the subsidiaries are the legal and beneficial owners of the mining lease and mining claims relating to the Mineral Properties (collectively, "Mining Rights") in respect of the mineral rights located in the Mineral Properties under valid, subsisting and enforceable title documents or other recognized and enforceable agreements or instruments, sufficient to permit the Corporation or its subsidiaries, as applicable, to access, explore for, mine and develop the mineral deposits relating thereto, free and clear of any liens, charges or encumbrances and no material commission, royalty, license fee or similar payment to any person with respect to the Mineral Properties is payable, except which would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Change. All material Mining Rights in which the Corporation or its subsidiaries hold an interest or right have been validly registered and recorded in accordance in all material respects with all applicable laws and are valid and subsisting. The Corporation and its subsidiaries have or expect to obtain all necessary surface rights, access rights and other necessary rights and interests relating to the Mineral Properties granting the Corporation or its subsidiaries the right and ability to access, explore for, mine and develop the mineral deposits as are appropriate in view of the rights and interests therein of the Corporation or its subsidiaries, with only such exceptions as do not unreasonably interfere with the use made by the Corporation or its subsidiaries of the rights or interest so held; and each of the Mining Rights and each of the documents, agreements and instruments and obligations relating thereto referred to above is currently in good standing in the name of the Corporation or its subsidiaries, as applicable, except where the failure to be in good standing would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Change.

(w) Mineral Properties Disclosure. The disclosure of the Mineral Properties and Mining Rights of the Corporation and its subsidiaries in the Prospectuses constitutes an accurate description in all material respects of the Mineral Properties and all material Mining Rights held by the Corporation and its subsidiaries, no other property or assets are necessary for the conduct of the business of the Corporation and its subsidiaries as currently conducted, and the Corporation does not know of any claim or the basis for any claim, including a claim with respect to aboriginal or native rights, that would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Change on the right thereof to use, transfer or otherwise explore for mineral deposits on such Mineral Property.

(x) Technical Reports. The Technical Reports were in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") at the time of filing thereof. The Corporation made available to the authors of the Technical Reports, prior to the issuance of such reports, for the purpose of preparing such reports, all information requested by the authors, which information did not contain any material misstatement or omission at the time such information was so provided. The Corporation is in compliance with the provisions of NI 43-101 and has filed all technical reports required thereby and there has been no material change that would require the filing of a new technical report under NI 43-101. All scientific and technical information set forth in the Registration Statement and Prospectuses has been reviewed by a "qualified person" as required under NI 43-101 and has been prepared in accordance with Canadian industry standards set forth in NI 43-101. The Corporation has no reason to believe that all of the assumptions underlying the mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates associated with the Mineral Properties contained in the Registration Statement and Prospectuses are not reasonable and appropriate.

(y) Tax Law Compliance. The Corporation and its subsidiaries have filed all necessary federal, provincial, state and foreign income and franchise tax returns or have properly requested extensions thereof and have paid all taxes required to be paid by any of them and, if due and payable, any related or similar assessment, fine or penalty levied against any of them except as may be being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings (except in any case in which the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Change). The Corporation has made adequate charges, accruals and reserves in the applicable financial statements referred to in Section 1(j) above in respect of all federal, provincial, state and foreign income taxes for all periods as to which the tax liability of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries has not been finally determined.

(z) Corporation Not an "Investment Company." The Corporation is not, and will not be, either after receipt of payment for the Offered Shares or after the application of the proceeds therefrom as described under "Use of Proceeds" in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, required to register as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act").

(aa) PFIC Status. The Corporation believes that it was a "passive foreign investment company" ("PFIC") as defined in Section 1297 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") for its tax year ended December 31, 2019, and based on current business plans and financial expectations, the Corporation expects that it may be a PFIC for the tax year ended December 30, 2020 and for its current tax year and may be a PFIC in future tax years.

(bb) Insurance. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Prospectuses, each of the Corporation and its subsidiaries are insured by recognized and reputable institutions with policies in such amounts and with such deductibles and covering such risks as are generally deemed adequate and customary for their businesses including, but not limited to, policies covering real and personal property owned or leased by the Corporation and its subsidiaries against theft, damage, destruction, acts of vandalism and earthquakes. The Corporation has no reason to believe that it or any of its subsidiaries will not be able (i) to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire, or (ii) to obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted and at a cost that would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Change. Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries has been denied any insurance coverage which it has sought or for which it has applied.

(cc) No Price Stabilization or Manipulation; Compliance with Regulation M. Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries has taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Common Shares or of any "reference security" (as defined in Rule 100 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act ("Regulation M")) with respect to the Common Shares, whether to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares or otherwise, and has taken no action which would directly or indirectly violate Regulation M.

Section 9 Indemnification

(1) The Corporation agrees to indemnify and save harmless each of the Underwriters, its affiliates and each of their directors, officers, employees and agents (each being hereinafter referred to as the "Indemnified Party") from and against all liabilities, claims, losses, costs, damages and expenses (including without limitation any legal fees or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with defending or investigating any of the above (but excluding any loss of profits and other consequential damages), as the same are incurred), in any way caused by, or arising directly or indirectly from, or in consequence of:

(a) (i) any information or statement contained in any Offering Document which at the time and in light of the circumstances under which it was made contains or is alleged to contain a misrepresentation; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (A) in an Offering Document, in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any "issuer information" (as defined in Rule 433(h)(2) under the U.S. Securities Act) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the U.S. Securities Act or (B) in any Marketing Documents, or (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Offering Document, in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any "issuer information" (as defined in Rule 433(h)(2) under the U.S. Securities Act) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the U.S. Securities Act or in any Marketing Documents, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, in the case of any prospectus) not misleading; provided, however, that the Corporation will not be liable in any such case to the extent such liabilities, claims, losses, costs, damages and expenses arise out of or are based upon any such misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation, 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 Corporation by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Lead Underwriter expressly for use therein. The Corporation acknowledges that the statements set forth in the third sentence of the fifth paragraph, sentences four, five, six and seven of the seventh paragraph and the eighth, twelfth, fourteenth paragraph under the heading "Plan of Distribution," as well as the third and fourth sentence of the first paragraph of the cover page in the U.S. Prospectus and the Canadian Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Underwriters for inclusion in the U.S. Prospectus and the Canadian Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto;

(b) any order made or inquiry, investigation or proceedings commenced or threatened by any securities regulatory authority, stock exchange or other competent authority based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or alleged omission or any misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation (except a statement provided by the Underwriters in writing specifically for use in any Offering Document or omission relating solely to the Underwriters or alleged untrue statement which has been provided by the Underwriters in writing specifically for use in an Offering Document or alleged omission relating solely to the Underwriters) in any Offering Document, or based upon any failure to comply with the Applicable Securities Laws in connection with the transactions contemplated herein (other than any failure or alleged failure to comply by the Underwriters), or which prevents or restricts the trading in or the sale of the Corporation's securities or the distribution of the Offered Shares in any jurisdiction;

(c) the non-compliance or alleged non-compliance by the Corporation with any of the Applicable Securities Laws relating to or connected with the distribution of the Offered Shares, including the Corporation's non-compliance with any statutory requirement to make any document available for inspection; or

(d) any breach by the Corporation of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations to be complied with under this Agreement;

provided that the indemnities provided by Sections 9(1)(b), (c) and (d) shall cease to apply if and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgement from which no appeal can be made or a regulatory authority in a final ruling from which no appeal can be made shall determine that the liabilities, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, losses, costs, damages or expenses resulted from the gross negligence, fraud or wilful misconduct of an Indemnified Party claiming indemnity, provided that, in the avoidance of doubt, the indemnities provided by Section 9(1)(a) shall remain applicable. For greater certainty, the Corporation and the Underwriters agree that they do not intend that any failure by the Underwriters to conduct such reasonable investigation as necessary to provide the Underwriters with reasonable grounds for believing the Offering Documents contained no misrepresentation shall constitute "gross negligence", "fraud" or "wilful misconduct" for the purposes of this Section 9 or otherwise disentitle the Underwriters from indemnification hereunder.

(2) If any matter or thing contemplated by Section 9 (any such matter or thing being referred to as a "Claim") is asserted against an Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party will (i) notify the Corporation in writing as soon as possible of the nature of such Claim, (ii) will provide copies of all the relevant documentation to the Corporation, and (iii) unless the Corporation assumes the defence thereof, will keep the Corporation advised of the progress and will discuss all significant proposed actions. The failure to notify the Corporation of any potential Claim shall not relieve the Corporation from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Party except, and only to the extent, that any such delay in giving or failing to give notice results in the loss of rights or defences in connection with such Claim or results in any increase in the liability under this indemnity which the Corporation would not otherwise have incurred had the Indemnified Party given the required notice. The Corporation shall be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in and, to the extent it may wish to do so, assume the defence of any suit brought to enforce such Claim; provided, however, that the defence shall be conducted through legal counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Parties, acting reasonably. Upon the Corporation notifying the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to assume the defence and retain counsel, the Corporation will not be liable to an Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by it in connection with such defence, except to the extent set forth below. If such defence is assumed by the Corporation, the Corporation throughout the course thereof will provide copies of all relevant documentation to the Indemnified Party, will keep the Indemnified Party advised of the progress thereof and will discuss with the Indemnified Party all significant actions proposed.

(3) No settlement of any such Claim or admission of liability may be made by the Corporation or an Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Parties affected or the Corporation (as applicable), which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party or the Corporation (as applicable) from all liability arising out of such action or Claim and does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party or the Corporation (as applicable).

(4) Notwithstanding the forgoing, any Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the Corporation's expense, to separately retain counsel of such Indemnified Party's choice, in respect of the defence of any Claim if: (i) the Corporation shall have agreed to the retention of the other counsel; (ii) the Corporation has not assumed the defence and retained counsel therefor promptly following receipt by the Corporation of notice of any such Claim from the Indemnified Party; or (iii) counsel retained by the Corporation or the Indemnified Party has advised the Indemnified Party that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate for any reason, including the reason that (A) there may be legal defences available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Corporation (in which event and to that extent, the Corporation shall not have the right to assume or direct the defence on such Indemnified Party's behalf), (B) there is a conflict of interest between the Corporation and the Indemnified Party, or (C) the subject matter of the Claim may not fall within the indemnity set forth herein, and in each such case the Corporation shall not have the right to assume or direct the defence on such Indemnified Party's behalf, provided that the Corporation shall not be responsible for the fees or expenses of more than one legal firm in any single jurisdiction (in addition to local US counsel) for all of the Indemnified Parties.

(5) The rights provided in this Section 9 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other right which the Underwriters may have by statute or otherwise at law.

(6) To the extent that any Indemnified Party is not a party to this Agreement, the Underwriters hold the right and benefit of this section in trust for and on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

Section 10 Contribution

(1) In order to provide for a just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity provided in Section 9 would otherwise be available in accordance with its terms but is, for any reason, held to be unavailable to or unenforceable by the Underwriters, the Underwriters and the Corporation shall contribute to the aggregate of all losses, costs, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (including any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this Section but excluding any loss of profits and other consequential damages) of the nature provided for above in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Underwriters on the one hand and the Corporation on the other hand but also the relative fault of the Underwriters and the Corporation as well as any relevant equitable considerations, provided that, in no event, will the Underwriters be responsible for any amount in excess of the amount of the Underwriting Fee actually received by them. In the event that the Corporation may be held to be entitled to contribution from the Underwriters under the provisions of any statute or law, the Corporation shall be limited to contribution in an amount not exceeding the lesser of: (i) the portion of the full amount of losses, claims, costs, damages, expenses and liabilities, giving rise to such contribution for which the Underwriters are responsible, as determined above; and (ii) the amount of the Underwriting Fee actually received by the Underwriters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the foregoing applies if and to the extent that the liabilities, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, losses, costs, damages or expenses resulted from the gross negligence, fraud or wilful misconduct of the party claiming contribution.

(2) The rights to contribution provided in this Section 10 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other right to contribution which the Indemnified Parties may have by statute or otherwise at law provided that Section 10(1) of this Section 10 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, in respect of such other right.

(3) Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receiving notice of commencement of any claim, action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against the other party under this section, notify such party from whom contribution may be sought. In no case shall such party from whom contribution may be sought be liable under this Agreement unless such notice has been provided, but the omission to so notify such party shall not relieve the party from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it may have otherwise than under this Section 10, except to the extent such party is materially prejudiced by the failure to receive such notice. The obligations of the Underwriters to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are several in proportion to the number of Offered Shares to be purchased by each of the Underwriters hereunder and not joint.

(4) The Corporation hereby waives its right to recover contribution from the Underwriters or any other Indemnified Party with respect to any liability of the Corporation solely by reason of or arising out of any misrepresentation contained in any Offering Document, other than a misrepresentation included in reliance upon information furnished to the Corporation in writing by or on behalf of any Underwriter by the Lead Underwriter specifically for use therein.

Section 11 Covenants of the Corporation

(1) The Corporation covenants and agrees with the Underwriters that:

(a) the Corporation will advise the Underwriters, promptly after receiving notice thereof, of the time when each Offering Document or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus has been filed, and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Underwriters of each such filing;

Section 21 Survival

The representations, warranties, obligations and agreements of the Corporation and of the Underwriters contained herein or delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the purchase by the Underwriters of the Offered Shares and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any subsequent disposition by the Underwriters of the Offered Shares until the later of: (i) the second anniversary of the Closing Date; and (ii) the latest date under Canadian Securities Laws and U.S. Securities Laws relevant to a Purchaser of any Offered Shares (non-residents of Canada or the U.S. being deemed to be resident in the Province of British Columbia for such purposes) that a Purchaser of Offered Shares may be entitled to commence an action or exercise a right of rescission, with respect to a misrepresentation contained in the Canadian Prospectus, U.S. Prospectus or, if applicable, any Supplementary Material, and the Underwriters shall be entitled to rely on the representations and warranties of the Corporation contained in or delivered pursuant to this Agreement notwithstanding any investigation which the Underwriters may undertake or which may be undertaken on the Underwriters' behalf.

(b) greater than 10% of the Firm Shares agreed to be purchased by the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement, then the remaining Underwriters shall not be obligated to purchase such Firm Shares, however, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right, exercisable at their option, to purchase on a pro rata basis (or on such other basis as may be agreed to by the remaining Underwriters) all, but not less than all, of the Firm Shares which would otherwise have been purchased by the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters and to receive the defaulting Underwriter's portion of the Underwriting Fee in respect thereof;

and the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the right, by notice to the Corporation, to postpone the Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case may be, by not more than three Business Days to effect such purchase.

(3) In the event that such right in Section 22(2)(b) is not exercised, the Underwriter or Underwriters which are able and willing to purchase shall be relieved of all obligations to the Corporation on submission to the Corporation of reasonable evidence of its or their ability and willingness to fulfil its or their obligations hereunder at the Closing Time.

(1) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

Section 28 Time of the Essence

Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
