(a)

not to sell, assign, convey or otherwise transfer or dispose of any or all of the Subject Securities, provided that: (i) the foregoing restriction shall not prevent the Company Shareholder from exercising any of the Subject Securities in accordance with their terms; and (ii) the Company Shareholder may sell, assign, convey or otherwise transfer or dispose of any or all of the Subject Securities to a Related Person provided that such Related Person enters into an agreement with Purchaser on the same terms as this letter agreement, or otherwise agrees with Purchaser to be bound by the provisions hereof or as otherwise consented to by Purchaser, which consent may be arbitrarily withheld. For the purposes hereof, “Related Person” means: (i) a spouse, common-law partner, parent, grandparent, brother, sister or child of the Company Shareholder; (ii) a corporation or family trust if all of the voting securities of such corporation are held by, or all the beneficiaries of such trust are, one or more of the persons referred to in clause (i); (iii) an “associate” or “affiliate” within the meaning of the Securities Act (Alberta); or (iv) a Person whose securities are beneficially owned or controlled by substantially similar persons that beneficially own or control the securities of the Company Shareholder;

(b)

to do all such things and to take all such steps as may reasonably be required to be done or taken by the Company Shareholder to vote, or cause to be voted, all of the Subject Securities having voting rights in respect of the Arrangement in favor of the Arrangement Resolution and any and all related matters to be put before the Company Shareholders, and to be voted to oppose any proposed action by any Person whatsoever which could reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or delay the completion of the Arrangement and the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement, and in accordance with the foregoing, to deliver or cause to be delivered a duly executed and irrevocable (except upon termination of this letter agreement in accordance with its terms) form of proxy or, with respect to any Subject Securities held through an investment dealer, financial institution or similar intermediary, voting instruction form, in respect of any such matter not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the date of any such Company Meeting;

(c)

not to solicit, initiate or encourage inquiries, submissions, proposals or offers from any other Person relating to, or participate in any negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other Person any information with respect to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with or assist or participate in or facilitate or encourage any effort or attempt with respect to: (i) any Company Acquisition Proposal or Nova Acquisition Proposal; (ii) except as provided by the terms of this letter agreement, the direct or indirect acquisition or disposition of all or any of the Subject Securities; (iii) requisitioning or joining in any requisition of any meeting of securityholders of the Company or Nova; or (iv) any action of any kind, directly or indirectly, which is inconsistent with the successful completion of the Arrangement, could reasonably be expected to prevent or reduce the success of, or delay or interfere with the completion of, the Arrangement and the other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement or this letter agreement;

(d)

not to exercise any Dissent Rights with respect to the Subject Securities which might be available to the Company Shareholder in connection with the Arrangement;

(e)

not to exercise any shareholder rights or remedies available at common law or pursuant to corporate Laws or Securities Laws to delay, hinder, upset or challenge the Arrangement;

(f)

not do indirectly that which the Company Shareholder may not do directly by the terms of this letter agreement, including through any Person directly or indirectly owned, controlled or directed by the Company Shareholder; and

(g)

if Purchaser concludes after the date of this letter agreement that it is necessary or desirable to proceed with an alternative transaction structure (including, without limitation, a take-over bid) whereby Purchaser and/or its affiliates would effectively acquire all of the Subject Securities on economic terms and conditions having consequences to the Company Shareholder (including tax consequences) that are equivalent to or better than those contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement (any such transaction is referred to as an “Alternative Transaction”), then the Company Shareholder shall support the completion of the Alternative Transaction in the same manner as the Arrangement Agreement provides with respect to the Arrangement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this letter agreement, including by: (A) in the case of a take-over bid (and exchange offer), by causing all of the Company Shareholder’s Subject Securities to be validly tendered in acceptance of such take-over bid together with the letter of transmittal and, if applicable, notice of guaranteed delivery, and any other documents required in accordance with such take-over bid, and will not withdraw the Company Shareholder’s Subject Securities from such take-over bid except as expressly otherwise provided in this letter agreement; and/or (B) voting or causing to be voted all of the Subject Securities (to the extent that they carry the right to vote at such meeting) in favour of, and not dissenting from, such Alternative Transaction. In the event of any proposed Alternative Transaction, any reference in this Agreement to the Arrangement shall refer to the Alternative Transaction to the extent applicable, and all covenants, representations and warranties of each of the Parties in this Agreement shall be and shall be deemed to have been made, mutatis mutandis, in respect of the Alternative Transaction.

It is acknowledged that the covenants of the Company Shareholder set forth in paragraphs 1(d) and (e) relate to the Company Shareholder acting solely in the capacity of a holder of the Subject Securities and not as a director or officer of the Company, and shall not restrict, limit or prohibit such Company Shareholder from properly fulfilling their fiduciary duties in the capacity of a director and/or officer of the Company, including any action permitted by Article 5 of the Arrangement Agreement.

2.	Representations and Warranties of the Company Shareholder

The Company Shareholder represents and warrants to Purchaser, and hereby acknowledges that the Company and Purchaser are relying upon such representations and warranties, that at the date hereof:

(c)

no Person has any agreement or option, or any right or privilege (whether by Law, preemptive or contractual) capable of becoming an agreement or option, for the purchase, acquisition or transfer of any of the Subject Securities or any interest therein or right thereto (other than this letter agreement or pursuant to the rights and conditions attaching to the Subject Securities);

(d)

this letter agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company Shareholder, and assuming the due execution and delivery by Purchaser, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company Shareholder enforceable against it in accordance with its terms subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other Laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity;

(e)

neither the entering into of this letter agreement nor the performance by the Company Shareholder of any of the Company Shareholder’s obligations under this letter agreement will constitute a breach of any agreement to which the Company Shareholder is a party or by which any of the Company Shareholder’s assets or properties (including the Subject Securities) are bound; and

(f)

there are and, at all times up to and including the date of the Company Meeting, will be no restrictions on the Subject Securities which would prevent the Company Shareholder from voting any of the Subject Securities which are entitled to be voted at the Company Meeting, in favor of the Arrangement Resolution.

3.	Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Purchaser

Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company Shareholder that:

(a)

Purchaser is duly authorized to execute and deliver this letter agreement and the Arrangement Agreement; and

(b)

upon acceptance by the Company Shareholder of this letter agreement, this letter agreement will be a valid and binding agreement, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms and the execution of this letter agreement will not constitute a violation of or default under, or conflict with, any restriction of any kind or any contract, commitment, agreement, understanding or arrangement to which Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound.

4.	Expenses

Purchaser and the Company Shareholder agree to pay their own respective expenses incurred in connection with this letter agreement.
