(c)

Each of Tarsis and Estrella shall promptly notify the other if at any time before or after the Effective Time it becomes aware that the Circular contains any Misrepresentation or that otherwise requires an amendment or supplement to the Circular or such application. In any such event, Tarsis and Estrella shall cooperate in the preparation of any required supplement or amendment to the Circular and, if required by applicable Law or the Court, shall cause the same to be distributed to the Estrella Shareholders or filed with the applicable securities regulatory authorities.


(d)

Except as and to the extent required by Law, (a) neither Estrella nor Tarsis shall disclose or permit its Representatives to disclose any Confidential Information (as defined below) of the other party hereto, and (b) neither Estrella nor Tarsis shall use, or permit its Representatives to use, any Confidential Information of the other party hereto other than in connection with the Arrangement.  “Confidential Information” means all information about a party or its Subsidiaries or affiliates or the respective businesses, in whatever form communicated or maintained, that such party (the “Disclosing Party”) discloses to, or that is gathered by inspection by, the other party or any of its Representatives (the “Receiving Party”); provided that “Confidential Information” does not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party in breach of its obligations under this Section, 5.3(b) is or was received by the Receiving Party, on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Disclosing Party if such source is not prohibited by the Disclosing Party from disclosing the information to the Receiving Party, or (iii) was known by the Receiving Party prior to disclosure under this Section and was not subject to any confidentiality obligation on the part of the Receiving Party.


(c)

Upon request by the Disclosing Party at any time, the Receiving Party shall (a) promptly return to the Disclosing Party all copies of Confidential Information then in the possession of the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives, except for Notes (as defined below), and neither the Receiving Party not any of its Representatives shall retain any copy of the Confidential Information, (b) destroy that portion of the Confidential Information which consists of notes, analyses, compilations, forecasts, studies or other documents prepared by the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives (“Notes”) in a manner that ensures the same may not be retrieved or undeleted by the Receiving Party, any of its Representatives or any other person, and (c) deliver to the Disclosing Party a certificate executed by one of the Receiving Party’s duly authorized officers indicating that the requirements of this sentence have been satisfied in full.  Notwithstanding the return or destruction of Confidential Information and Notes, the Receiving Party and its Representatives shall continue to be bound by the Receiving Party’s confidentiality and other obligations under this Section.


5.4

Covenants Regarding Non-Solicitation


(a)

Estrella shall, and shall direct and cause its Representatives and its Subsidiaries and their Representatives to immediately cease and cause to be terminated any solicitation, encouragement, activity, discussion or negotiation with any parties that may be ongoing with respect to an Acquisition Proposal whether or not initiated by Estrella and in connection therewith, Estrella shall request (and exercise all rights it has to require) the return of information regarding Estrella and its Subsidiaries previously provided to such parties and shall request (and exercise all rights it has to require) the destruction of all materials including or incorporating any Confidential Information regarding Estrella and its Subsidiaries.


(b)

Subject to Section 5.5, Estrella agrees that it shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or its Subsidiaries’ Representatives, directly or indirectly, to (i) solicit, initiate, encourage or facilitate, including by way of furnishing information or entering into any form of agreement, arrangement or understanding, any inquiries or the making of any proposals regarding an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) withdraw, modify, qualify or change in a manner adverse to Tarsis, or publicly propose to withdraw, modify, qualify or change in a manner adverse to Tarsis the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability of the board of directors of Estrella of the transactions contemplated hereby (it being understood that failing to affirm the approval or recommendation of the board of directors of Estrella of the transactions contemplated hereby after an Acquisition Proposal has been publicly announced shall be considered an adverse modification), (iv) approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal or (v) enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding related to any Acquisition Proposal or requiring Estrella to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Arrangement or providing for the payment of any break, termination or other fees or expenses to any person in the event that Estrella or any of its Subsidiaries completes the transactions contemplated hereby or any other transaction with Tarsis or any of its affiliates agreed to prior to any termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and any other provisions of this Agreement, the board of directors of Estrella may, prior to the approval of the Arrangement by the Estrella Shareholders, consider, participate in any discussions or negotiations with, or provide information in accordance with the last sentence of this Section 5.4(b) to, any person who has delivered a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal which was not solicited or encouraged after the date of this Agreement and did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 5.4 and that the board of directors of Estrella determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, is a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that prior to taking any such action, (a) the board of directors of Estrella must determine in good faith, after due consultation with its outside counsel, that its failure to do so would be inconsistent with the exercise of its fiduciary duties, and (b) Estrella must obtain a confidentiality agreement from the person making such Acquisition Proposal, in a form satisfactory to Tarsis acting reasonably; provided further that Estrella shall not commence or participate in discussions or negotiations with, or provide information to any person who has delivered an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal until 48 hours after Estrella shall have advised Tarsis of its determination that such Acquisition Proposal would, if completed, constitute a Superior Proposal and of its intention to take such actions. Estrella shall not consider, negotiate, accept, approve or recommend an Acquisition Proposal or provide information to any person proposing an Acquisition Proposal, in each case after the date of the approval of the Arrangement by the Estrella Shareholders. If Estrella receives a request for material non-public information from a person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal and Estrella is permitted, as contemplated under the second sentence of this Section 5.4(b), to negotiate the terms of such Acquisition Proposal, then, and only in such case, the board of directors of Estrella may, subject to the execution by such person of the confidentiality agreement as described in (y) above, provide such person with access to information regarding Estrella; provided that Estrella sends a copy of any such confidentiality agreement to Tarsis promptly upon its execution and Tarsis is provided with a list of, and copies of, the information provided to such person and is immediately provided with access to similar information to which such person was provided, if not previously provided to Tarsis by Estrella.


(c)

From and after the date of this Agreement, Estrella shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notify Tarsis, at first orally and then in writing, of any inquiries, proposals or offers relating to or constituting an Acquisition Proposal, or any request for non-public information relating to Estrella or any of its Subsidiaries. Such notice shall include a description of the terms and conditions of any proposal, inquiry or offer, the identity of the person making such proposal, inquiry or offer, a copy of any written proposal, inquiry or offer, and provide such other details of the proposal, inquiry or offer as Tarsis may reasonably request. Estrella shall keep Tarsis fully informed on a prompt basis of the status, including any change to the material terms, of any such inquiry, proposal or offer.


(d)

Estrella shall ensure that its officers, directors and employees and its Subsidiaries and their officers, directors and employees and any financial advisors or other advisors or representatives retained by it are aware of the provisions of this Section 5.4, and it shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 5.4 by such officers, directors, employees, financial advisors or other advisors or representatives.


5.5

Right to Accept a Superior Proposal


(a)

If Estrella has complied with Section 5.4 with respect thereto, Estrella may accept, approve, recommend or enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement in respect of a Superior Proposal prior to the approval of the Arrangement by the Estrella Shareholders and terminate this Agreement if, and only if (with the exception of a confidentiality agreement the execution of which shall not be subject to the conditions of this Section 5.5), (i) Estrella has provided Tarsis with a copy of the Superior Proposal document, (ii) five Business Days shall have elapsed from the later of (A) the date Tarsis received written notice (a “Section 5.5 Notice”) advising Tarsis that Estrella’s board of directors has resolved, subject only to compliance with this Section 5.5, to accept, approve, recommend or enter into an agreement in respect of such Superior Proposal, specifying the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and identifying the person making such Superior Proposal, and (B) the date Tarsis received a copy of the Superior Proposal document, (iii) Estrella’s board of directors has determined in good faith (following due consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure of the board of directors of Estrella to take such action would be inconsistent with the exercise of its fiduciary duties, (iv) such Superior Proposal does not provide for the payment of any break, termination or other fees or expenses to the other party in the event that Estrella or any of its Subsidiaries completes the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any similar other transaction with Tarsis or any of its affiliates agreed to prior to any termination of this Agreement, (v) taking into account any revised proposal made by Tarsis since receipt of the Section 5.5 Notice, such Superior Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and the Estrella board of directors has again made the determinations referred to in this Section 5.5(a) and (vi) Estrella has previously or concurrently will have paid to Tarsis the Termination Fee, if any, payable under Section 7.4. In the event that Estrella provides Tarsis with a Section 5.5 Notice on a date that is less than five Business Days prior to the Estrella Meeting, Estrella shall, at the request of Tarsis and only at the request of Tarsis, adjourn the Estrella Meeting to a date that is not less than five Business Days and not more than 10 Business Days after the date of the Section 5.5 Notice.


(b)

During the five Business Day period referred to in Section 5.5(a)(ii), Estrella agrees that Tarsis shall have the right, but not the obligation, to offer to amend the terms of this Agreement. The board of directors of Estrella will review any proposal by Tarsis to amend the terms of this Agreement in good faith in order to determine, in its discretion in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, whether Tarsis’ amended proposal upon acceptance by Estrella would result in such Superior Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal. If the board of directors of Estrella so determines, it will enter into an amended agreement with Tarsis reflecting Tarsis’ amended proposal. If the board of directors of Estrella continues to believe, in good faith and after consultation with financial advisors and outside counsel, that such Superior Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and therefore rejects Tarsis’ amended proposal, Estrella may, on termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.2(c)(iv) and payment of the Termination Fee as required pursuant to Section 7.4(b), accept, approve, recommend or enter into an agreement, understanding or arrangement in respect of such Superior Proposal.


(c)

Estrella also acknowledges and agrees that each successive material modification of any Acquisition Proposal shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of Section 5.4 and the requirement under clause (ii) of Section 5.5(a) to initiate an additional five Business Day notice period.


5.6

Proxies Received and Dissent Notices


Estrella shall advise Tarsis as reasonably requested, and on a daily basis on each of the last seven Business Days prior to the Estrella Meeting:

5.7

(B)

sale, lease or transfer of any significant part of the assets of Estrella;

(E)

action that would reasonably be expected to impede, delay, interfere with, or discourage the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement; and


(F)

action that would result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement).


In connection with the foregoing, subject to this Section 3.1(b), the Shareholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to deposit a proxy, duly completed and executed in respect of all of the Subject Shares at least five business days prior to the Estrella Meeting, voting all such Subject Shares in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.  The Shareholder hereby agrees that neither it nor any person on its behalf will take any action to withdraw, amend or invalidate any proxy deposited by the Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement notwithstanding any statutory or other rights or otherwise which the Shareholder might have unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 4.1.


(c)

The Shareholder hereby covenants, undertakes and agrees from time to time, until the Expiry Time to not without the prior written consent of the Purchaser requisition or join in the requisition of any meeting of any of the securityholders of Estrella for the purpose of considering any resolution.

Nothing hereunder shall prevent any shareholder, director or officer of the Shareholder who is a director or officer of Estrella from doing any act or thing that such director or officer is properly obligated to do in such capacity, provided that such act or thing is permitted by and is done in compliance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement.


(e)

The Shareholder hereby agrees to:


(i)

immediately cease and cause to be terminated any and all existing discussions and negotiations, if any, with any person or group or any agent or representative of such person or group before the date of this Agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or potential Acquisition Proposal; and


(ii)

promptly (and in any event within 24 hours following receipt) notify the Purchaser of any Acquisition Proposal or inquiry that could lead to an Acquisition Proposal of which the Shareholder or, to the knowledge of the Shareholder, any of the shareholders, directors or officers of the Shareholder becomes aware.  Such notification shall be made first orally and then in writing and shall include the identity of the person making such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, a description of the material terms thereof, together with a copy of all documentation relating to such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry; provided however that such notification shall not be required if Estrella has already notified the Purchaser.

(i)

(i)

details of this Agreement being set out in any information circular and court documents produced by Estrella, the Purchaser or any of their respective affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Arrangement Agreement; and


(ii)

this Agreement being made publicly available, including by filing on SEDAR.


(j)

Except as required by applicable law or applicable stock exchange requirements, the Shareholder shall not make any public announcement or statement with respect to the transactions contemplated herein or pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement without the prior written approval of the Purchaser.

ARTICLE 4
GENERAL


4.1

Termination


This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect only upon the earliest of:


(a)

the written agreement of the Purchaser and the Shareholder;


(b)

the termination of the Arrangement Agreement in accordance with its terms; or


(c)

the Effective Time.


4.2

Time of the Essence


Any date, time or period referred to in this Agreement shall be of the essence, except to the extent to which the Shareholder and the Purchaser agree in writing to vary any date, time or period, in which event the varied date, time or period shall be of the essence.


4.3

Equitable Relief


The parties agree that irreparable harm will occur for which money damages will not be an adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed by the Shareholder in accordance with their terms or are otherwise breached.  It is accordingly agreed that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement by the Shareholder the Purchaser shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions and other equitable relief and shall be entitled to obtain an order or orders for specific performance as may be necessary to ensure that the Shareholder complies with and performs its obligations under this Agreement.  The Shareholder hereby agrees not to seek the posting of any security bond or other assurance in respect of such injunctive or other equitable relief.  Such remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for any breach of this Agreement and will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity.


4.4

Capacity and Fiduciary Duties


Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if the Shareholder or its affiliate (within the meaning of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia)) is a director or officer of Estrella, nothing contained in this Agreement will prevent the Shareholder or such affiliate from acting in his capacity as a director or officer of Estrella in accordance with the exercise of his or her fiduciary duties or other legal obligation to act in the best interests of Estrella. The foregoing shall not release any Shareholder from acting in accordance with this Agreement in its capacity as a shareholder of Estrella.


4.5

Waiver; Amendment


Each party hereto agrees and confirms that any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Shareholder and Estrella or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective and no failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise.


4.6

Change in Nature of Transaction


The Shareholder covenants and agrees in favour of the Purchaser that if the Purchaser and Estrella mutually agree that it is necessary or desirable to proceed with another form of transaction whereby the Purchaser or any of its affiliates would effectively acquire 100% of the Estrella Shares on economic terms and other terms and conditions (including, without limitation, any tax consequences to the Shareholder) which, in relation to Estrella and the Shareholder, are no less favourable from a financial point of view and otherwise substantially equivalent to or better than those contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement (an “Alternative Transaction”), the Shareholder will support the completion of such Alternative Transaction in the manner described in this Agreement.


4.7

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings among the parties with respect thereto.
