12.SKYE Acknowledgements.  SKYE agrees and acknowledges that the Securityholder is bound hereunder solely in his, her or its capacity as a securityholder of the Company and that the provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed or interpreted to bind the Securityholder or any of its directors, officers or principal shareholder in his, her or its capacity as a director, officer or shareholder of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

328972.00001/117300620.5

director or officer of the Company. SKYE further acknowledges that the Securityholder shall not be considered part of the minority for the purposes of a majority of minority vote of the shareholders of the Company to approve the Arrangement for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101-Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions.
13.Termination.  Unless otherwise provided for herein, this Agreement shall terminate on the earliest of:
(a)SKYE providing written notice of termination to the Securityholders;

15.Specific Performance.  The Securityholder acknowledges that it will be impossible to measure in money the damage to SKYE if the Securityholder fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement, that every such obligation is material and that, in the event of any such failure, SKYE will not have an adequate remedy at law or in damages and, accordingly, the Securityholder agrees that the issuance of an injunction or other equitable remedy is an appropriate remedy for any such failure. 
16.No Ownership Interest.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in SKYE any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership at law or in equity with respect to any of the Securities or any right or entitlement to acquire or become the owner at law or in equity of the Securities. Any rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Securities shall remain vested in and belong to the Securityholder and its affiliates, as the case may be. SKYE shall have no authority to manage, direct, superintend, restrict, regulate, govern or administer any of the policies or operations of the Company or exercise any power or authority to direct the Securityholder or his affiliates in the voting of any of the Securities, except as otherwise provided herein, or in the performance of the Securityholder’s and its affiliates’ duties or responsibilities as a securityholder of the Company.  
17.Successors and Assigns.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, provided that no party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its or his rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party.
