The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to: (1) the transfer of any or all of the Securities owned by the undersigned, either during his or her lifetime or on death, by gift, will or intestate succession to the immediate family of the undersigned, or to a trust with respect to which one or more of the undersigned or an immediate family member of the undersigned is the exclusive beneficiary, or as a distribution to the limited partners, members, shareholders or affiliates of the undersigned; provided, however, that in any such case, it shall be a condition to such transfer that (i) such transfer is not for value, (ii) the transferee executes and delivers to the Representatives an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Securities subject to the provisions of this agreement (the “Letter Agreement”), and there shall be no further transfer of such Securities, except in accordance with this Letter Agreement and (iii) no public disclosure and no filing by any party to the transfer (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) under the Exchange Act and the applicable Canadian securities laws shall be required nor shall be voluntarily made reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of the Securities in connection with such transfer or distribution prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period (as the same may be extended pursuant to the terms hereof); (2) sales of up to 200,000 Common Shares by all of the signatories to this Letter Agreement and their respective affiliates, directly or indirectly, in aggregate, during the Lock-up Period; (3) sales under any existing 10b5-1 plan provided that no announcements shall be made by the Company in connection with such sales; and (4) transfers of Common Shares to the Company or sales of Common Shares issued on exercise of vested awards under the Company’s omnibus plan in full or partial satisfaction of applicable tax withholding obligations in connection with a scheduled vesting of restricted Common Shares previously granted to the undersigned.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company, and any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration or transfer of the securities described herein, are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Letter Agreement.

This Letter Agreement is irrevocable and will be binding on the undersigned and the respective successors, heirs, personal representatives, and assigns of the undersigned.
