| (c) | No Agreements.

Other than as disclosed in writing by the Seller to the Offeror, there does not exist any agreement, understanding or commitment giving rise to any obligations, financial or otherwise, on the part of the Company or any of its Affiliates to the Seller, or any Affiliates of the Seller as applicable (or any associates or insiders (as such terms are defined in the Securities Act (Ontario) of any of the foregoing). |

There is no requirement of the Seller to make any filing with, give any notice to, or obtain any permit, licence, sanction, ruling, order, exemption or consent, approval or waiver of, any Governmental Authority or other Person (including the lapse, without objection, of a prescribed time under applicable Laws that states that a transaction may be implemented if a prescribed time lapses following the giving of notice) as a condition to the lawful completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Offer, or the execution and delivery by the Seller and enforcement against the Seller of this Agreement. |
| (f) | Non-Contravention. This Agreement and the completion of the transactions that it contemplates does not (and would not with the giving of notice, the lapse of time or the happening of any other event or condition) result in a breach or a violation of, or conflict with in any manner, or allow any other Person to exercise any rights under any of the terms or provisions of the constating documents and/or by-laws of the Seller, if applicable, or any agreement, contract or indenture to which the Seller is a party or by which the Seller’s property or the Seller’s Securities are bound, and will not result in the violation of any Laws. |
| (g) | Sophisticated Seller. The Seller has independently and without reliance upon the Offeror, and based on such information as the Seller has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. The Seller acknowledges that the Offeror has not made and does not make any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, of any kind or character except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. |

| (h) | Existence and Authorization.
