     The undersigned irrevocably constitutes and appoints, effective at and after the time (the “Effective Time”) that Forum takes up the Deposited Shares, each director or officer of Forum, and any other person designated by Forum in writing, as the true and lawful agent, attorney, attorney-in-fact and proxy of the holder of the Common Shares covered by this Letter of Transmittal or book-entry transfer (which Common Shares upon being taken up are, together with any Distributions thereon, hereinafter referred to as the “Purchased Securities”) with respect to such Purchased Securities, with full powers of substitution (such powers of attorney, being coupled with an interest, being irrevocable), in the name of and on behalf of such Shareholder:

  (a) to register or record the transfer and/or cancellation of such Purchased Securities to the extent consisting of securities on the appropriate securities registers maintained by or on behalf of HSE;
     
  (b) for so long as any such Purchased Securities are registered or recorded in the name of such Shareholder, to exercise any and all rights of such Shareholder including, without limitation, the right to vote, to execute and deliver (provided the same is not contrary to applicable laws), as and when requested by Forum, any and all instruments of proxy, authorizations or consents in form and on terms satisfactory to Forum in respect of any or all Purchased Securities, to revoke any such instruments, authorizations or consents given prior to or after the Effective Time, and to designate in any such instruments, authorizations or consents any person or persons as the proxyholder of such Shareholder in respect of such Purchased Securities for all purposes including, without limitation, in connection with any meeting or meetings (whether annual, special or otherwise, or any adjournments thereof, including, without limitation, any meeting to consider a Subsequent Acquisition Transaction) of holders of relevant securities of HSE;
     
  (c) to execute, endorse and negotiate, for and in the name of and on behalf of such Shareholder, any and all cheques or other instruments representing any Distributions payable to or to the order of, or endorsed in favour of, such Shareholder; and
     
  (d) to exercise any other rights of a Shareholder with respect to such Purchased Securities.

     The undersigned accepts the Offer under the terms of this Letter of Transmittal (including book-entry transfer) and revokes any and all other authority, whether as agent, attorney-in-fact, attorney, proxy or otherwise, previously conferred or agreed to be conferred by such Shareholder at any time with respect to the Deposited Shares or any Distributions. The undersigned agrees that no subsequent authority, whether as agent, attorney-in-fact, attorney, proxy or otherwise will be granted with respect to the Deposited Shares or any Distributions by or on behalf of the depositing Shareholder unless the Deposited Shares are not taken up and paid for under the Offer or are properly withdrawn in accordance with Section 8 of the Offer, “Right to Withdraw Deposited HSE Shares”.

     The undersigned also agrees not to vote any of the Purchased Securities at any meeting (whether annual, special or otherwise or any adjournments thereof, including, without limitation, any meeting to consider a Subsequent Acquisition Transaction) of holders of relevant securities of HSE and, except as may otherwise be agreed to with Forum, not to exercise any of the other rights or privileges attached to the Purchased Securities, and agrees to execute and deliver to Forum any and all instruments of proxy, authorizations or consents in respect of all or any of the Purchased Securities, and agrees to designate or appoint in any such instruments of proxy, authorizations or consents, the person or persons specified by Forum as the proxy of the holder of the Purchased Securities. Upon such appointment, all prior proxies and other authorizations (including, without limitation, all appointments of any agent, attorney or attorney-in-fact) or consents given by the holder of such Purchased Securities with respect thereto will be revoked and no subsequent proxies or other authorizations or consents may be given by such person with respect thereto.

     The undersigned covenants to execute, upon request of Forum, any additional documents, transfers and other assurances as may be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the Purchased Securities to Forum. Each authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred is, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, irrevocable and may be exercised during any subsequent legal incapacity of the undersigned and shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, survive the death or incapacity, bankruptcy or insolvency of the undersigned and all obligations of the undersigned herein shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, attorneys, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.

     The Depositary will act as the agent of persons who have deposited Common Shares in acceptance of the Offer for the purposes of receiving payment from Forum and transmitting such payment to such persons, and receipt of payment by the Depositary will be deemed to constitute receipt of payment by persons depositing Common Shares under the Offer.

     Settlement with each Shareholder who has deposited Common Shares pursuant to the Offer will be made by the Depositary forwarding a share certificate representing the Forum Common Shares. Unless otherwise directed in this Letter of Transmittal, share certificates representing the Offer Consideration will be issued in the name of the registered holder of the Common Shares so deposited. Unless the person depositing the Common Shares instructs the Depositary to hold the certificates representing the Forum Common Shares for pick-up by checking the appropriate box in this Letter of Transmittal, such share certificates will be forwarded by first class insured mail to such person at the address specified in this Letter of Transmittal. If no such address is specified, the certificate(s) representing Forum Common Shares will be sent to the address of the holder as shown on the securities registers maintained by or on behalf of HSE. Certificates representing Forum Common Shares mailed in accordance with this paragraph will be deemed to be delivered at the time of mailing. The undersigned further understands and acknowledges that under no circumstances will interest accrue or be paid by Forum or the Depositary to persons depositing Common Shares on the purchase price of Common Shares purchased by Forum, regardless of any delay in making such payment.

     Any deposited Common Shares that are not taken up and paid for by Forum pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Offer for any reason will be returned, at Forum’s expense, to the depositing Shareholder as soon as practicable after the Expiry Time or withdrawal or termination of the Offer, by either (i) sending certificates representing the Common Shares not purchased by first class insured mail to the address of the depositing Shareholder specified in this Letter of Transmittal or, if such name or address is not so specified, in such name and to such address as shown on the securities registers maintained by or on behalf of HSE, or (ii) in the case of Common Shares deposited by book-entry transfer of such Common Shares pursuant to the procedures set out in “Manner of Acceptance — Acceptance by Book-Entry Transfer” in Section 5 of the Offer, such Common Shares will be credited to the depositing holder’s account maintained with CDS or DTC, as applicable.

     Shareholders will not be required to pay any fee or commission if they accept the Offer by depositing their Common Shares directly with the Depositary. However, if a Shareholder who owns Common Shares through a broker or other nominee and such broker or other nominee tenders the Common Shares on the Shareholder’s behalf, such broker or other nominee may charge a fee for doing so and such Shareholder shall be responsible for paying such fee.

     By reason of the use by the undersigned of an English language form of Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned shall be deemed to have required that any contract evidenced by the Offer as accepted through this Letter of Transmittal, as well as all documents related thereto, be drawn exclusively in the English language. En raison de l’usage d’une lettre d’envoi en langue anglaise par le soussigné, le soussigné et les destinataires sont présumés avoir requis que tout contrat attesté par l’offre et son acceptation par cette lettre d’envoi, de même que tous les documents qui s’y rapportent, soient rédigés exclusivement en langue anglaise.

(a) This Letter of Transmittal, or a manually signed facsimile thereof, properly completed and executed with the signature(s) guaranteed if required in Instruction 4 below, together with accompanying certificate(s) representing the Deposited Shares (or, alternatively, Book-Entry Confirmation with respect thereto) and all other documents required by the terms of the Offer and this Letter of Transmittal must be actually physically received by the Depositary at its Toronto, Ontario office set out on the back of this Letter of Transmittal at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Easter time) on September 21, 2009, being the Expiry Time, unless the Offer is extended or withdrawn or unless the procedure for guaranteed delivery set out in Instruction 2 below is used.
     
(b) The method used to deliver this Letter of Transmittal, any accompanying certificate(s) representing Common Shares and all other required documents is at the option and risk of the Shareholder depositing these documents. Forum recommends that these documents be delivered by hand to the Depositary and that a receipt be obtained or, if mailed, that registered mail, with return receipt requested, be used and that proper insurance be obtained. It is suggested that any such mailing be made sufficiently in advance of the Expiry Time to permit delivery to the Depositary at or prior to the Expiry Time. Delivery will only be effective upon actual physical receipt by the Depositary.
     
(c) Shareholders whose Common Shares are registered in the name of an investment advisor, stock broker, bank, trust company or other nominee should immediately contact such nominee for assistance in depositing their Common Shares.
     
2. Procedure for Guaranteed Delivery
     
If a Shareholder wishes to deposit Common Shares under the Offer and either the certificate(s) representing the Common Shares are not immediately available or the certificate(s) and all other required documents cannot be delivered to the Depositary at or prior to the Expiry Time, those Common Shares may nevertheless be deposited under the Offer provided that all of the following conditions are met:

  (a) the deposit is made at the principal office of the Depositary in Toronto, Ontario, set out in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery by or through an Eligible Institution (as defined below);
     
  (b) a properly completed and executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (printed on GREEN paper) in the form accompanying the Offer, or a manually signed facsimile thereof, including a guarantee to deliver by an Eligible Institution in the form set out in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, is received by the Depositary at or prior to the Expiry Time at its office in Toronto, Ontario set out in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery; and
     
  (c) the certificate(s) representing all deposited Common Shares together with a Letter of Transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile thereof), properly completed and executed as required by the Instructions set out in this Letter of Transmittal (including signature guarantee if required by Instruction 4 below) and all other documents required thereby, are received by the Depositary at its office in Toronto, Ontario set out in this Letter of Transmittal at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the third trading day on the TSX after the Expiry Date.

Delivery of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and the Letter of Transmittal and accompanying certificate(s) representing Common Shares and all other required documents to any office other than the Toronto, Ontario office of the Depositary does not constitute delivery for purposes of satisfying a guaranteed delivery.
