1. ARRANGEMENTS FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT

The Client hereby authorises, appoints and instructs Choice as his/her agent for the purpose of contracting with the Cuban Medical Authority to provide medical treatment and/or surgical procedures to the Client as set out in the Medical Treatment Plan. Choice agrees to act as the Client's agent in this limited capacity and will make all necessary arrangements as instructed by the Client. The Client acknowledges having reviewed and approved the Medical Treatment Plan in detail, and having obtained all medical and other advice necessary or beneficial in doing so. Choice makes no recommendations, endorsements, representations or warranties whatsoever in respect of the Medical Treatment Plan, the Cuban Medical Authority.

2. TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS

The Client hereby approves the Travel Plan and authorizes Choice to make all necessary bookings and arrangements in order to implement same. Choice makes no recommendations, endorsements, representations or warranties whatsoever in respect of any aspect of the Travel Plan.

3. PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

The Client will pay to Choice the price in full as set out in each of the Medical Treatment Plan and the Travel Plan, prior to departing from Canada in accordance with the Travel Plan. These payments are non-refundable except to the extent (if any) that Choice may actually receive a refund of amounts paid to third parties on behalf of the Client including the Cuban Medical Authority, airlines, hotels and the like.

4. EXTRA CHARGES AND CONTINGENCY FUND

The Client will pay all charges, costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Client that are not specifically included in the Medical Treatment Plan or the Travel Plan (“Extra Charges”). By way of example, Extra Charges may include, but are not limited to, extended accommodation, additional travel activities and additional medical and/or surgical services provided by the Cuban Medical Authority. The Client hereby indemnifies Choice in respect of all Extra Charges and agrees to pay to Choice a contingency fund equal to 10% of the combined price of the Medical Treatment Plan and the Travel Plan for the purpose of paying or reimbursing any bona fide Extra Charges. Choice will reimburse the remaining balance of the contingency fund to the Client 30 days after the Client returns to Canada .

5. SUBSTITUTE DECISION MAKING

The Client acknowledges that additional medical and/or surgical services may be necessary in the course of or subsequent to the completion of the Medical Treatment Plan.

However, the parties expressly agree and understand that the Client is solely responsible for arranging substitute decision-making and that Choice will not be responsible to make any medical treatment decisions whatsoever.

6. TRAVEL INSURANCE

The Client will obtain travel documentation required by the Travel Plan and travel insurance in an amount of no less than $1,000,000 and provide confirmation of same to Choice prior to departure from Canada .

7. LIABILITY WAIVER

The Client will, as a condition of this Agreement, execute a Waiver and Indemnity in favour of Choice in the form attached as Schedule “C”. The Client agrees and acknowledges that he/she is undertaking the Medical Treatment Plan and the Travel Plan at his/her own risk, and further that Choice is not responsible or liable for any treatment, opinions or other services and procedures rendered by any doctor, hospital or medical professional in Canada or outside of Canada. Choice is further not liable for any malpractice, injuries or consequences that may arise directly, or indirectly, from any advice, treatment, or other medical services rendered to the Client.

8. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
