|
not, directly or indirectly, through any of its affiliates, associates or representatives take any action with respect to an Acquisition Proposal that, if taken by the Company, would violate the terms of the Arrangement Agreement;

|
|
(e)
|
Seller will not commit any act that could restrict or affect Seller’s legal power, authority, and right to vote all of the Shares then owned of record or beneficially by Seller or otherwise prevent or disable Seller from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement.

(f)
|
not requisition or join in any requisition of any meeting of Company Securityholders without the prior written consent of the Acquiror, or vote or cause to be voted any of the Subject Securities in respect of any proposed action by the Company or its Shareholders or affiliates or any other person or group in a manner which might reasonably be regarded as likely to prevent or delay the successful completion of the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement and this Agreement or have a Material Adverse Effect;
|
|
(g)
|

5

4.2 Notwithstanding Section 4.1, if the Seller is a director and/or officer of the Company, the Seller shall be entitled to exercise his fiduciary duties to the Company in his capacity as director or officer and not be in breach of this Agreement, it being acknowledged that compliance with the provisions set out in Section 4.3 of the Arrangement Agreement shall not be construed to result in a breach of this Agreement. For certainty, any such exercise of fiduciary duties by the Seller shall not in any way diminish the Seller’s obligations in his capacity as a Shareholder under this Agreement.
4.3 If a Superior Proposal is made, the Seller hereby agrees that it shall continue to support the Arrangement (or, if applicable, any Alternative Transaction) and comply with its obligations hereunder, including not withdrawing or revoking the proxy or power of attorney referred to in Article 3 in respect of the Subject Securities, unless and until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.
