THIS VOTING AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as of _________, 20__ by and among Naqi Logix Inc., a corporation existing under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Company") and those shareholders of the Company listed on Schedule A (together with any subsequent shareholders, or any transferees, who become parties hereto pursuant to Section 6.2 or 6.3) (the "Shareholders").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Shareholders own all of the outstanding Shares (as defined below);
AND WHEREAS, the Shareholders and the Company desire to (a) provide certain Shareholders with the right, among other rights, to designate the election of certain members of the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (b) set forth agreements and understandings with respect to how Shares (as defined below) held by the Shareholders will be voted on, or tendered in connection with, a Sale of the Company (as defined below).
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

For purposes of this Agreement: (i) an individual, firm, corporation, partnership, association, lim- ited liability company, trust or any other entity (collectively, a "Person") shall be deemed an "Affiliate" of another Person who, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person, including any general partner, managing member, officer or director of such Person or any venture capital fund now or hereafter existing that is controlled by one or more general partners or managing members of, or shares the same management company with, such Person; (ii) "Associate" means, with respect to any natural person: (1) a body corporate, if such natural person beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, voting securities carrying more than 50% of the voting rights attached to all voting securities of such body corporate; (2) a trust or estate for the benefit of such natural person or one or more of such natural person's Immediate Family Members (as defined below); (3) a registered retirement savings plan of such natural person; or (4) an Immediate Family Member of such natural person; (iii) "Immediate Family Member" means, with respect to a natural person, a child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in- law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, of such natural person; and (iv) a Person shall be deemed to be "Providing Services to the Company" if such Person is either: (1) employed as an employee of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company on a full-time or part-time basis; (2) engaged by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company as an independent contractor, consultant or an advisor pursuant to a written or oral agreement; (3) appointed as an officer of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company; or (4) otherwise providing services to the Company or any subsidiary of the Company in his or her capacity as an owner of the Company.
1.3 Failure to Designate a Board Member. In the absence of any designation from the Persons or groups with the right to designate a director as specified above, the director previously designated by them and then serving shall be re-elected if still eligible to serve as provided herein.
1.4 Removal of Board Members. Each Shareholder shall vote, or cause to be voted, all Shares owned by such Shareholder, or over which such Shareholder has voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that:
(a) no director elected pursuant to Sections 1.2 or 1.3 may be removed from office unless such removal is directed or approved by the affirmative vote of the Person, or Persons, entitled under Section 1.2 to designate that director;
(b) any vacancies created by the resignation, removal or death of a director elected pursuant to Section 1.2 or 1.3 shall be filled pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1; and
(c) upon the request of any party entitled to designate a director as provided in Section 1.2 to remove such director, such director shall be removed.
All Shareholders shall execute any written resolutions required to perform their respective obligations under this Section 1.4, and the Company shall, at the request of any party entitled to designate directors, call a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing directors.

1.6 Ceasing To Have the Right to Nominate a Director. If any Shareholder ceases to have the right to designate a director pursuant to Section 1.2, then such director shall be designated by one or more Shareholders of record holding in aggregate, at the time of reference, shares to which are attached more than 50% of the votes attached to the outstanding Shares (the "Majority Holders").
1.7 Board Chair. The majority of directors then in office may vote to appoint the chair of the Board. In the case of an equality of votes, the chair of the Board (or of a particular meeting of the Board) shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote.
2. Voting Regarding Shareholder Actions. Subject to Section 3, (a) if: (i) in the case of any action that would require a "special resolution" (as defined in the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Act")) to be approved by the Shareholders or would entitle any Shareholders to vote as a separate class or series as required pursuant to the Act, one or more Shareholders of record holding in aggregate, at the time of reference, shares to which are attached more than two-thirds of the votes attached to the outstanding Shares (the "Supermajority Holders"); (ii) in the case of any other action that would require an "ordinary resolution" (as defined in the Act) to be approved by the Shareholders; or (iii) in the case of waiving the requirement to appoint an auditor or the requirement to produce or publish financial statements under the Act which would require a "unanimous resolution" (as defined in the Act) to be approved by all Shareholders, the Majority Holders, in any such case, agree by written consent to approve such action (each action, a "Shareholder Action"); and (b) such Shareholder Action has also been approved by the Board, then all Shareholders shall: (1) vote all of their respective Shares in favour of such Shareholder Action; (2) waive any dissent, appraisal or similar rights to which they may be entitled with respect to such Shareholder Action (or the underlying action or transaction to which such Shareholder Action pertains) to the extent permitted by law; and (3) execute and deliver all resolutions, consents and other instruments in favour of such Shareholder Action.
3. Drag-Along Right.
3.1 Definitions.
(a) A "Sale of the Company" means either: (i) a transaction or series of related transactions in which a Person, or a group of related Persons, acquires from Shareholders, Shares representing more than 50% of the outstanding voting power of the Company (a "Share Sale"); or (ii) a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below).

(i) an amalgamation or arrangement in which: (1) the Company is a constituent party; or (2) a subsidiary of the Company is a constituent party and the Company issues shares in its capital pursuant to such amalgamation or arrangement, except any such amalgamation or arrangement involving the Company or a subsidiary of the Company in which the shares in the capital of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such amalgamation or arrangement continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares that represent, immediately following such amalgamation or arrangement, at least a majority, by voting power, of the outstanding shares in the capital of (X) the surviving or resulting corporation or (Y) if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such amalgamation or arrangement, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation; or
(ii) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company of all or substantially all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or the sale or disposition (whether by merger or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Company if substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
3.2 Actions to be Taken. If, the Supermajority Holders (the "Electing Holders") and the Board approve a Sale of the Company specifying, in writing, that this Section 3 shall apply to such transaction, then each Shareholder and the Company shall:

(b) if such transaction is a Share Sale, sell the same proportion of Shares beneficially held by such Shareholder as is being sold by the Electing Holders to the Person to whom the Electing Holders propose to sell their Shares, and, except as permitted in Section 3.3, on the same terms and conditions as the Electing Holders;

(d) not deposit, and cause their Affiliates and Associates not to deposit, except as provided in this Agreement, any Shares owned by such Shareholder or any Affiliate or Associate of such Shareholder in a voting trust or subject any Shares to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such Shares, unless specifically requested to do so by the acquiror in connection with the Sale of the Company;
(e) refrain from exercising any dissent rights or rights of appraisal under applicable law at any time with respect to such Sale of the Company;
(f) if the consideration to be paid in exchange for the Shares pursuant to this Section 3 includes any securities and due receipt thereof by any Shareholder would require under applicable law (i) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities or (ii) the provision to any Shareholder of any information other than such information as a prudent issuer would generally furnish in an offering made solely to "accredited investors" as defined in Section 1.1 of Regulation 45-106 respecting Prospectus Exemptions in Québec and in National Instrument 45-106 elsewhere in Canada or as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (in either case, "Accredited Investors"), the Company may cause to be paid to any such Shareholder in lieu thereof, against surrender of the Shares that would have otherwise been sold by such Shareholder, an amount in cash equal to the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board) of the securities that such Shareholder would otherwise receive as of the date of the issuance of such securities in exchange for the Shares; and
(g) if the Electing Holders, in connection with such Sale of the Company, appoint a shareholder representative (the "Shareholder Representative") with respect to matters affecting the Shareholders under the applicable definitive transaction agreements following consummation of such Sale of the Company, (i) consent to (1) the appointment of such Shareholder Representative, (2) the establishment of any applicable escrow, expense or similar fund in connection with any indemnification or similar obligations, and (3) the payment of such Shareholder's pro rata portion (from the applicable escrow or expense fund or otherwise) of any and all reasonable fees and expenses to such Shareholder Representative in connection with such Shareholder Representative's services and duties in connection with such Sale of the Company and its related service as the representative of the Shareholders, and (ii) not assert any claim or commence any suit against the Shareholder Representative or any other Shareholder with respect to any action or inaction taken or failed to be taken by the Shareholder Representative in connection with its service as the Shareholder Representative, absent fraud or wilful misconduct.
3.3 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Shareholder shall not be required to comply with Section 3.2 in connection with any proposed Sale of the Company (the "Proposed Sale") unless:
(a) any representations and warranties to be made by such Shareholder in connection with the Proposed Sale are limited to representations and warranties related to authority, ownership and the ability to convey title to such Shares, including representations and warranties that (i) the Shareholder holds all right, title and interest in and to the Shares such Shareholder purports to hold, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, (ii) the obligations of the Shareholder in connection with the transaction have been duly authorized, if applicable, (iii) the documents to be entered into by the Shareholder have been duly executed by the Shareholder and delivered to the acquirer and are enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with their respective terms, and (iv) neither the execution and delivery of documents to be entered into in connection with the transaction, nor the performance of the Shareholder's obligations thereunder, will cause a breach or violation of the terms of any agreement, law or judgment, order or decree of any court or governmental agency;
(b) the Shareholder shall not be liable for the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by any other Person in connection with the Proposed Sale, other than the Company (except that and only to the extent that funds may be paid out of an escrow established to cover breach of representations, warranties and covenants of the Company as well as breach by any Shareholder of any representations, warranties and covenants provided by all Shareholders with respect to the Company);
(c) the liability for indemnification, if any, of such Shareholder in the Proposed Sale and for the inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by the Company or its Shareholders in connection with such Proposed Sale is several and not joint with any other Person (except that and only to the extent that funds may be paid out of an escrow established to cover breach of representations, warranties and covenants of the Company as well as breach by any Shareholder of any representations, warranties and covenants provided by all Shareholders with respect to the Company), and subject to the provisions of the Articles related to the allocation of the escrow, is pro rata in proportion to, and does not exceed, the amount of consideration paid to such Shareholder in connection with such Proposed Sale;
(d) liability shall be limited to such Shareholder's applicable share (determined based on the respective proceeds payable to each Shareholder in connection with such Proposed Sale in accordance with the provisions of the Articles) of a negotiated aggregate indemnification amount that applies equally to all Shareholders but that in no event exceeds the amount of consideration otherwise payable to such Shareholder in connection with such Proposed Sale, except with respect to claims related to fraud by such Shareholder, the liability for which need not be limited as to such Shareholder;
(e) upon the consummation of the Proposed Sale, (i) each holder of each class or series of Shares will receive the same form of consideration for their Shares of such class or series as is received by other holders in respect of their Shares of such same class or series, (ii) each holder of Common Shares will receive the same amount of consideration per Common Share as is received by other holders in respect of their Common Shares, and (iii) the aggregate consideration receivable by all Shareholders shall be allocated among the Shareholders on the basis of the relative liquidation preferences to which the Shareholders are entitled in a Deemed Liquidation Event (assuming for this purpose that the Proposed Sale is a Deemed Liquidation Event) in accordance with the Articles in effect immediately prior to the Proposed Sale; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the consideration to be paid in exchange for any Shareholder's Shares pursuant to this Section 3.3(e) includes any securities and due receipt thereof by any Shareholder would require under applicable law (i) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities or (ii) the provision to any Shareholder of any information other than such information as a prudent issuer would generally furnish in an offering made solely to Accredited Investors, the Company may cause to be paid to any such Shareholder in lieu thereof, against surrender of such Shareholders' Shares, which would have otherwise been sold by such Shareholder, an amount in cash equal to the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board) of the securities which such Shareholder would otherwise receive as of the date of the issuance of such securities in exchange for such Shareholder's Shares; and
(f) subject to Section 3.3(e), if any holders of any class or series of Shares are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received as a result of the Proposed Sale, all holders of such class or series of Shares will be given the same option; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.3(f) shall entitle any holder to receive any form of consideration that such holder would be ineligible to receive as a result of such holder's failure to satisfy any condition, requirement or limitation that is generally applicable to the Shareholders.
3.4 Restrictions on Sales of Control of the Company. No Shareholder shall be a party to any Share Sale unless all Shareholders are allowed to participate in such transaction and the consideration received pursuant to such transaction is allocated among the parties thereto in the manner specified in the Articles in effect immediately prior to the Share Sale (as if such transaction were a Deemed Liquidation Event).
4. Remedies.
4.1 Covenants of the Company. The Company shall use its best efforts, within the requirements of applicable law, to ensure that the rights granted under this Agreement are effective and that the parties enjoy the benefits of this Agreement.

4.2 Irrevocable Proxy and Power of Attorney. Each Shareholder hereby constitutes and appoints as the proxies of such Shareholder and hereby grants a power of attorney to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (or if no such officer is appointed, the most senior officer of the Company) and a designee of the Electing Holders, and each of them, with full power of substitution, with respect to the matters set forth herein, including election of persons as members of the Board in accordance with Section 1, votes regarding any Shareholder Action pursuant to Section 2 and votes regarding any Sale of the Company pursuant to Section 3, and hereby authorizes each of them to represent and to: (a) vote, if and only if such Shareholder (i) fails to vote (whether by proxy, in person or by written resolution) (it being understood that failing to execute a written resolution within 48 hours of being requested shall constitute a failure to vote) or (ii) attempts to vote (whether by proxy, in person or by written resolution), in a manner which is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, all of such Shareholder's Shares in favour of the election or removal of persons as members of the Board determined pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the approval of the Shareholder Action or approval of any Sale of the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of Sections 2 and 3, respectively, or (b) take any action necessary to effect Sections 2 and 3, respectively.

Each Shareholder hereby revokes any and all previous proxies or powers of attorney with respect to such Shareholder's Shares that conflict with the proxy and power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 4.2 and shall not hereafter, unless and until this Agreement terminates or expires pursuant to Section 5, purport to grant any other proxy or power of attorney with respect to any of such Shareholder's Shares, deposit any of such Shareholder's Shares into a voting trust or enter into any agreement (other than this Agreement), arrangement or understanding with any Person, directly or indirectly, to vote, grant any proxy or give instructions with respect to the voting of any of such Shareholder's Shares, in each case, with respect to any of the matters set forth herein.
4.3 Specific Enforcement.

4.4 Remedies Cumulative. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.
5. Term.

6.12 Consent Required to Amend, Terminate or Waive. This Agreement may be amended or terminated and the observance of any term hereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only by a written instrument executed by (a) the Company; and (b) the Supermajority Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(a) this Agreement may not be amended or terminated and the ▇▇▇▇▇- ▇▇▇▇▇ of any term of this Agreement may not be waived with respect to a particular Shareholder without the written consent of such Shareholder unless such amendment, termination or waiver applies to all Shareholders holding the same class or series, as the case may be, of Shares in the same fashion;
(b) the consent of a particular Shareholder shall not be required for any amendment or waiver if such amendment or waiver either (1) is not directly applicable to the unique rights of such Shareholder set forth in the Agreement or (2) does not adversely affect the rights of such Shareholder in a manner that is different than the effect on the rights of the other Shareholders holding the same class or series, as the case may be, of Shares;
(c) Schedule A hereto may be amended by the Company from time to time to add information regarding additional Shareholders or to reflect transfers or repurchases of Shares or changes to the names or addresses of the parties without the consent of the other parties hereto;
(d) any provision hereof may be waived by the waiving party on such party's own behalf, without the consent of any other party; and
(e) the applicable subsection of Section 1.2 shall not be amended or waived without the written consent of the applicable Shareholder.
The Company shall give prompt written notice of any amendment, termination or waiver here- under to any party that did not consent in writing thereto. Any amendment, termination or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 6.12 shall be binding on each party and, as applicable, all of such party's heirs, attorneys, guardians, estate trustees, executors, trustees, successors (including any successor by reason of amalgamation of any party) and assigns, whether or not any such party, heir, attorney, guardian, estate trustee, executor, trustee, successor or assign entered into or approved such amendment, termination or waiver. For purposes of this Section 6.12, the requirement of a written instrument may be satisfied in the form of an action by written consent of the Shareholders circulated by the Company and executed by the Shareholder parties specified, whether or not such action by written consent makes explicit reference to the terms of this Agreement.
6.13 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non- defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default previously or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.
6.14 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.
6.15 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any schedules and exhibits hereto), together with the Shareholder Rights Agreement and the Right of First Refusal and Co- Sale Agreement, constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all other written or oral agreements relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties are expressly cancelled.
6.16 Legend on Share Certificates. Each certificate representing any Shares issued after the date hereof shall be endorsed by the Company with a legend reading substantially as follows:
"THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A VOTING AGREEMENT, AS MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, (A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST FROM THE CORPORATION), AND BY ACCEPTING ANY INTEREST IN SUCH SHARES THE PERSON ACCEPTING SUCH INTEREST SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THAT VOTING AGREEMENT, INCLUDING CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OWNERSHIP SET FORTH THEREIN."
The Company, by its execution of this Agreement, shall cause the certificates evidencing the Shares issued after the date hereof to bear the legend required by this Section 6.16, and it shall supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement to any holder of a certificate evidencing Shares upon written request from such holder to the Company at its principal office. The failure to cause the certificates evidencing the Shares to bear the legend required by this Section 6.16 and/or the failure of the Company to supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement as provided hereunder shall not affect the validity or enforcement of this Agreement.
6.17 Share Splits, Share Dividends, etc. In the event of any issuance of Shares hereafter to any of the Shareholders (including in connection with any share split, share dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, or the like), such Shares shall become subject to this Agreement and shall be endorsed with the legend set forth in Section 6.16.
6.18 Manner of Voting. The voting of Shares pursuant to this Agreement may be effected in person, by proxy, by written consent or in any other manner permitted by applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, voting of the Shares pursuant to the Agreement need not make explicit reference to the terms of this Agreement.
6.19 Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the parties agree to cooperate with each other, and at the request of any other party, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as the other party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and to otherwise carry out the intent of the parties hereunder.
6.20 Dispute Resolution. The parties (a) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of British Columbia for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement, (b) agree not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement except in the courts of the Province of British Columbia, and (c) hereby waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defence, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court.
6.21 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE SECURITIES OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. THIS SECTION HAS BEEN FULLY DISCUSSED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THESE PROVISIONS WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY EXCEPTIONS. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT SUCH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT SUCH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.
6.22 Costs of Enforcement. If any party to this Agreement seeks to enforce its rights under this Agreement by legal proceedings, the non-prevailing party shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing party, including all reasonable legal fees.
6.23 Aggregation of Shares. All Shares held or acquired by a Shareholder and its Affiliates and Associates shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement, and such Shareholder and its Affiliates and Associates may apportion such rights as among themselves in any manner they deem appropriate.
6.24 Independent Legal Advice. The parties acknowledge that they have entered into this Agreement willingly with full knowledge of the obligations imposed by the terms of this Agreement. The parties further acknowledge that they have been afforded the opportunity to obtain independent legal advice and confirm by the execution of this Agreement that they have either done so or waived their right to do so, and agree that this Agreement constitutes a binding legal obligation and that they are estopped from raising any claim on the basis that they have not obtained such advice.
6.25 Conflict with Constating Documents. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the certificate of incorporation, certificate of change of name, notice of articles, and articles of the Company, together with any amendments thereof from time to time (the "Constating Documents") the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail and govern to the extent permitted by law. The Shareholders agree that they shall promptly initiate all necessary proceeding, vote their respective Shares and take any such further action as is required by the Shareholders so as to cause the Constating Documents to be amended in order to resolve such conflict or inconsistency in favour of the provisions of this Agreement.
