RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves risks. Before deciding whether to purchase our securities, you should carefully consider the risk factors incorporated by reference from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "2022 Annual Report") filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023, as amended on April 28, 2023, under the heading "Item 1A.

These risks could materially affect our business, results of operations and financial condition and could cause the value of our securities to decline in value, in which case you may lose all or part of your investment. For more information, see "Where You Can Find More Information" and "Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference."

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other U.S. Federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, financial condition, business strategies and plans, market opportunity, competitive position, industry environment, and potential growth opportunities. In some cases, you can identify forward- looking statements by terms such as "may", "will", "should", "believe", "expect", "could", "intend", "plan", "anticipate", "estimate", "continue", "predict", "project", "potential", "target," "goal" or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, they are inherently subject to significant business, competitive, economic, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These and other important factors, including, among others, those discussed under the heading "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our 2022 Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus, may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this prospectus. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include:

  • Our limited operating history and net losses;
  • changes in cannabis laws, regulations and guidelines;
  • decrease in demand for cannabis and derivative products due to certain research findings, proceedings, or negative media attention;
  • damage to our reputation as a result of negative publicity;
  • exposure to product liability claims, actions and litigation;
  • risks associated with product recalls;
  • product viability;
  • continuing research and development efforts to respond to technological and regulatory changes;
  • shelf life of inventory;
  • our ability to successfully integrate businesses that we acquire;
  • maintenance of effective quality control systems;
  • changes to energy prices and supply;
  • risks associated with expansion into new jurisdictions;
  • regulatory compliance risks;
  • opposition to the cannabinoid industry;
  • unpredictable events, such as the COVID-19 outbreak, and associated business disruptions;
  • risks related to our operations in Colombia, including the closing of the sale thereof; and
  • potential delisting resulting in reduced liquidity of our common shares.

Given the foregoing risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements in this prospectus. The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results of operations and financial condition may differ materially from such forward- looking statements. In addition, even if our results of operations and financial condition are consistent with the forward-looking statements in this prospectus, they may not be predictive of results or developments in future periods. Any forward-looking statement that we make in this prospectus speaks only as of the date of this prospectus. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise, or to publicly announce any update or revision to, any of the forward-looking statements in this prospectus, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this prospectus.

Table of Contents

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

General

We may issue warrants to purchase our common shares. The warrants may be issued independently or together with common shares offered by this prospectus and may be attached to or separate from those common shares.

While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any warrants we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any warrants that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any warrants we offer under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we describe below, and you should refer to the applicable prospectus supplement for the specific terms of any warrants that we offer.

We may issue the warrants under a warrant agreement, which we will enter into with a warrant agent to be selected by us. Each warrant agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable warrant agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any warrant. A single bank or trust company may act as warrant agent for more than one issue of warrants. A warrant agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable warrant agreement or warrant, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a warrant may, without the consent of the related warrant agent or the holder of any other warrant, enforce by appropriate legal action its right to exercise, and receive the common shares purchasable upon exercise of, its warrants.

We may issue warrants in such numerous distinct series as we determine.

We will incorporate by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part the form of warrant agreement, including a form of warrant certificate, that describes the terms of the series of warrants we are offering before the issuance of the related series of warrants. The following summaries of material provisions of the warrants and the warrant agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the warrant agreement applicable to a particular series of warrants. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements related to the warrants that we sell under this prospectus, as well as the complete warrant agreements that contain the terms of the warrants.

We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the warrants in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered, including, when applicable, the following:

  • the title of the warrants;
  • the aggregate number of the warrants;
  • the price or prices at which the warrants will be issued;
  • the designation, number, and terms of common shares purchasable upon exercise of the warrants;
  • the date, if any, on and after which the warrants and the related common shares will be separately transferable;
  • the price at which each common share purchasable upon exercise of the warrants may be purchased;
  • the date on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and the date on which such right will expire;
  • the minimum or maximum amount of the warrants that may be exercised at any one time;
  • any information with respect to book-entry procedures;
  • the effect of any merger, consolidation, sale, or other disposition of our business on the warrant agreement and the warrants;
  • any other terms of the warrants, including terms, procedures, and limitations relating to the transferability, exchange, and exercise of such warrants;
  • the terms of any rights to redeem or call, or accelerate the expiration of, the warrants;
  • the date on which the right to exercise the warrants begins and the date on which that right expires;
  • the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding or exercising the warrants; and
  • any other specific terms, preferences, rights, or limitations of, or restrictions on, the warrants.

Table of Contents

Unless specified in an applicable prospectus supplement, warrants will be in registered form only.

A holder of warrant certificates may exchange them for new certificates of different denominations, present them for registration of transfer, and exercise them at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Until any warrants are exercised, holders of the warrants will not have any rights of holders of the underlying common shares, including any rights to receive dividends or to exercise any voting rights, except to the extent set forth under the heading "Warrant Adjustments" below.

Exercise of Warrants

Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase for cash common shares at the applicable exercise price set forth in, or determined as described in, the applicable prospectus supplement. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may surrender securities as all or a part of the exercise price for the warrants. Warrants may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date of the warrants, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.

Warrants may be exercised by delivering to the corporation trust office of the warrant agent or any other officer indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement (a) the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed and (b) payment of the amount due upon exercise. As soon as practicable following exercise, we will issue the underlying common shares subject to such exercise to the applicable warrant holder. If less than all of the warrants represented by a warrant certificate are exercised, a new warrant certificate will be issued for the remaining warrants.

Amendments and Supplements to the Warrant Agreements

We may amend or supplement a warrant agreement without the consent of the holders of the applicable warrants to cure ambiguities in the warrant agreement, to cure or correct a defective provision in the warrant agreement, or to provide for other matters under the warrant agreement that we and the warrant agent deem necessary or desirable, so long as, in each case, such amendments or supplements do not materially and adversely affect the interests of the holders of the warrants.

Warrant Adjustments

Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, the exercise price of, and the number of common shares covered by, a warrant will be adjusted proportionately if we subdivide or combine our common shares. In addition, unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, if we, without payment:

  • issue capital stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for common shares, or any rights to subscribe for, purchase, or otherwise acquire common shares, as a dividend or distribution to holders of our common shares;
  • pay any cash to holders of our common shares other than a cash dividend paid out of our current or retained earnings;
  • issue any evidence of our indebtedness or rights to subscribe for or purchase our indebtedness to holders of our common shares; or
  • issue common shares or additional stock or other securities or property to holders of our common shares by way of spinoff, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares, or similar corporate rearrangement,

then the holders of warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the warrants, in addition to the common shares otherwise receivable upon exercise of the warrants and without paying any additional consideration, the amount of stock and other securities and property such holders would have been entitled to receive had they held the common shares issuable under the warrants on the dates on which holders of those securities received or became entitled to receive such additional stock and other securities and property.

Except as stated above, the exercise price and number of securities covered by a warrant, and the amounts of other securities or property to be received, if any, upon exercise of those warrants, will not be adjusted or provided for if we issue those securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for those securities, or securities carrying the right to purchase those securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for those securities.


Table of Contents

Holders of warrants may have additional rights under the following circumstances:

  • certain reclassifications, capital reorganizations, or changes of the common shares;
  • certain share exchanges, mergers, or similar transactions involving us and which result in changes of the common shares; or
  • certain sales or dispositions to another entity of all or substantially all of our property and assets.

If one of the above transactions occurs and holders of our common shares are entitled to receive stock, securities, or other property with respect to or in exchange for their common shares, the holders of the warrants then outstanding, as applicable, will be entitled to receive upon exercise of their warrants the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property that they would have received upon the applicable transaction if they had exercised their warrants immediately before the transaction.


Table of Contents

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

The following description, together with the additional information we include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. Units may be offered independently or together with common shares and warrants offered by any prospectus supplement, and may be attached to or separate from those securities. While the terms we have summarized below will generally apply to any units that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of units that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any units offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below, and you should refer to the applicable prospectus supplement for the specific terms of any units that we offer.

We will incorporate by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part the form of unit agreement, including a form of unit certificate, if any, that describes the terms of the series of units we are offering before the issuance of the related series of units. The following summaries of material provisions of the units and the unit agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the unit agreement applicable to a particular series of units. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements related to the units that we sell under this prospectus, as well as the complete unit agreements that contain the terms of the units.

General

We may issue units consisting of common shares and warrants. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each security included in the unit. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit are immediately separable or otherwise may not be held or transferred separately, at any time, or at any time before a specified date.

We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of units, including the following:

  • the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;
  • any provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described below; and
  • any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer, or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units.

The provisions described in this section, as well as those described under "Description of Common Shares" and "Description of Warrants," will apply to each unit and to any common share or warrant included in each unit, respectively.

Issuance in Series

We may issue units in such amounts and in such numerous distinct series as we determine.

Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Units

Each unit agent, if any, will act solely as our agent under the applicable unit agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any unit. A single bank or trust company may act as unit agent for more than one series of units. A unit agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable unit agreement or unit, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a unit, without the consent of the related unit agent or the holder of any other unit, may enforce by appropriate legal action its rights as holder under any security included in the unit.

Title

We, the unit agent, and any of their agents may treat the registered holder of any unit certificate as an absolute owner of the units evidenced by that certificate for any purposes and as the person entitled to exercise the rights attaching to the units so requested, despite any notice to the contrary.

We may sell the securities offered hereby from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods. We may sell the securities (1) through underwriters or dealers, (2) through agents and/or (3) directly to one or more purchasers. We may distribute the securities from time to time in one or more transactions:

  • at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;

  • at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

  • at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

  • at negotiated prices.

We may directly solicit offers to purchase the securities being offered by this prospectus. We may also designate agents to solicit offers to purchase the securities from time to time. We will name in a prospectus supplement any agent involved in the offer or sale of our securities.

If we utilize a dealer in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, we will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.

If we utilize an underwriter in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, we will execute an underwriting agreement with the underwriter at the time of sale and provide the name of any underwriter in the prospectus supplement that the underwriter will use to make resales of the securities to the public. In connection with the sale of the securities, we, or the purchasers of securities for whom the underwriter may act as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the securities to or through dealers, and the underwriter may compensate those dealers in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions.

We will provide in the applicable prospectus supplement any compensation we pay to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. We may enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be required to make in respect thereof.

An underwriter may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with applicable securities laws. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which creates a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bidders to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the prices of the securities to be higher than they would otherwise be. The underwriters may engage in these activities on any exchange or other market in which the securities may be traded. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue these activities at any time. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

The underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us, or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario.

There is doubt as to the enforceability in Canada, either in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts, of civil liabilities predicated solely on the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state of the United States.

Item 17. Undertakings

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;


Table of Contents

Provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.


Table of Contents

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Flora Growth Corp.

Dear Sirs/Mesdames:

We have acted as Canadian counsel to Flora Growth Corp., an Ontario corporation (the "Corporation"), in connection with the preparation of a Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3, including the prospectus constituting a part thereof (the "Registration Statement"), being filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), relating to the Corporation's offering of up to an aggregate of US$10,000,000 of any combination of: (i) common shares in the capital of the Corporation ("Common Shares"); (ii) warrants to purchase Common Shares ("Warrants"); (iii) purchase units consisting of Common Shares and Warrants ("Units"); and (iv) the Common Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants ("Warrant Shares") or in connection with the Units, as applicable. The Common Shares, Warrants and Units are referred to herein collectively as the "Securities". We understand that the Securities may be issued and sold or delivered from time to time as set forth in the Registration Statement, any amendment thereto, the prospectus contained therein (the "Prospectus") and supplements to the prospectus (the "Prospectus Supplements") and pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

Documents Reviewed

For the purposes of this opinion, we have examined and relied on, among other things, the following:

(a)  the Registration Statement;
   
(b)  a certificate of even date herewith of the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation with respect to certain factual matters and enclosing certified copies of, inter alia, the constating documents and by-laws of the Corporation and resolutions passed by the directors of the Corporation that relate to the Registration Statement and the actions to be taken in connection therewith (the "Officer's Certificate"); and
   
(c)  a certificate of status dated August 24, 2023 issued by the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services (Ontario) in respect of the Corporation (the "Certificate of Status").

In preparation for the delivery of this opinion, we have examined the above-mentioned documents and we have examined all such other documents and made such other investigations as we consider relevant and necessary in order to give this opinion. In particular, we have not reviewed, and express no opinion on, any document that is referred to or incorporated by reference into the documents reviewed by us. As to various questions of fact material to this opinion which we have not independently established, we have examined and relied upon, without independent verification, certificates of public officials and officers of the Corporation including, without limitation, the Officer's Certificate and the Certificate of Status.



- 2 -

For purposes of the opinion set forth below, we have assumed:

(a) the legal capacity of all individuals;
   
(b) the genuineness of all signatures on, and the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authentic or original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, telecopied, photostatic, electronically transmitted copies (including commercial reproductions);
   
(c) the identity and capacity of any person acting or purporting to act as a corporate or public official;
   
(d) the accuracy and completeness of all information provided to us by public officials or offices of public record;
   
(e) the accuracy and completeness of all representations and statements of fact contained in all documents, instruments and certificates (including the Officer's Certificate);
   
(f) the accuracy and completeness of the minute books and all other corporate records of the Corporation reviewed by us;
   
(g) the Securities will be offered, issued and sold in compliance with applicable United States federal and state securities laws, and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement and the applicable Prospectus Supplement;
   
(h) that at the time of the execution and delivery of any definitive purchase, underwriting, agency or similar agreement between the Corporation and any third party pursuant to which any of the Securities may be issued (a "Securities Agreement") and at the time of the issuance and sale of any of the Securities, the Securities Agreement will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Corporation and the other parties thereto, such agreement will be the valid and legally binding obligation of the Corporation and the other parties thereto, enforceable against such parties in accordance with its terms, and the performance by the Corporation of its obligations thereunder will have been duly and validly approved;
   
(i) the taking by the Corporation of all necessary corporate action to authorize and approve the issuance of any Securities, the terms of the offering thereof and related matters (the "Authorizing Resolutions") prior to or as at the time the Securities are offered or issued as contemplated by the Registration Statement;
   
(j) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (including any post-effective amendments) under the Securities Act, that such effectiveness shall not have been terminated or rescinded, that no stop orders will have been issued by the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement and that the Registration Statement will comply with all applicable laws, each as at the time the Securities are offered or issued as contemplated by the Registration Statement;


- 3 -


(k) an appropriate Prospectus Supplement, free writing prospectus or term sheet relating to the Securities offered thereby will have been prepared and filed with the Commission in compliance with the Securities Act and will comply with all applicable laws at the time the Securities are offered or issued as contemplated by the Registration Statement;
   
(l) that at the time of the issuance and sale of any of the Securities, the terms of the Securities, and their issuance and sale, will have been established so as not to violate any applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Corporation and so as to comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Corporation;
   
(m) the facts stated in the Certificate of Status continue to be true and correct as of the date hereof; and
   
(n) the facts stated in the Certificate of Status and the Officer's Certificate shall continue to be true and correct as at the date of completion of any offering of Securities.

We have not undertaken any independent investigation to verify the accuracy of any of the foregoing assumptions.

When our opinion refers to Common Shares or Warrant Shares to be issued as being "fully paid and non-assessable", such opinion indicates that the holder of such Common Shares or Warrant Shares cannot be required to contribute any further amounts to the Corporation by virtue of his, her or its status as holder of such Common Shares or Warrant Shares, either in order to complete payment for the Common Shares or Warrant Shares, to satisfy claims of creditors or otherwise. No opinion is expressed as to the adequacy of any consideration received for such Common Shares or Warrant Shares.

We are qualified to practise law only in the Province of Ontario. Our opinion below is limited to the existing laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein as of the date of this opinion and should not be relied upon, nor are they given, in respect of the laws of any other jurisdiction. In particular, we express no opinion as to United States federal or state securities laws or any other laws, rule or regulation, federal or state, applicable to the Corporation.

In rendering our opinion in paragraph 1 below as to the valid existence of the Corporation, we have relied solely on the Certificate of Status.

Based and relying upon and subject to the foregoing and the qualifications expressed below, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Corporation is a corporation existing under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and has not been dissolved.
   
2. The Common Shares (including any Common Shares partially comprising Units) will be duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Corporation and, upon payment and delivery in accordance with the applicable Securities Agreement and Prospectus Supplement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
   
3. The Warrants (including any Warrants partially comprising Units) will be duly authorized and, when issued and sold in accordance with and in the manner described in the applicable Securities Agreement and Prospectus Supplement, will be authorized, created and validly issued by the Corporation.
   
4. The Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants (including any Warrants partially comprising Units) will be set aside and reserved for issuance and conditionally allotted for issuance to holders of such Warrants and such Warrant Shares will, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Warrants and in the manner described in the applicable Securities Agreement and Prospectus Supplement against payment of the exercise price therefor, be validly issued as fully paid and non-assessable shares in the capital of the Corporation.

We understand that the Corporation intends to issue the Securities from time to time on a delayed or continuous basis and that prior to issuing any Securities the Corporation will afford us an opportunity to review the Authorizing Resolutions and operative documents pursuant to which such Securities are to be issued (including an appropriate Prospectus Supplement), and we will file such supplement or amendment to this opinion (if any) as we may reasonably consider necessary or appropriate by reason of the terms of such Securities.

We hereby consent to the reference to our firm's name under the caption "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement and the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder.

This opinion letter is furnished to you at your request in accordance with the requirements of Item 601 of Regulation S-K in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement, and is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise relied upon for any other purpose. No opinion is expressed as to the contents of the Registration Statement, other than the opinions expressly set forth herein. This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof unless otherwise expressly stated, and we disclaim any undertaking or obligation to advise you of any subsequent changes in the facts stated or assumed herein or of any subsequent changes in applicable laws.

Yours truly,

(signed) "Wildeboer Dellelce LLP"
