9.Injunctive Relief.

  

The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that irreparable harm would occur for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy at Law if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to ensure compliance with the terms of this Agreement, without any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief. These remedies are cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies available at Law or in equity.

(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably attorns and submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Alberta in respect of all matters arising under and in relation to this Agreement and waives, to the fullest extent possible, the defence of an inconvenient forum or any similar defence to the maintenance of proceedings in such courts.

Upon such determination that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the greatest extent possible.

 

(e) Each party hereto shall, from time to time and at all times hereafter, at the request of the other party hereto, but without further consideration, do all such further acts, and execute and deliver all such further documents and instruments as may be reasonably required in order to fully perform and carry out the terms and intent hereof.

 

(f) Time shall be of the essence in this Agreement.

 

(g) Each of the Shareholder and the Buyer will pay its own expenses (including the fees and disbursements of legal counsel and other advisers) incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(h) This Agreement shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns. Neither party to this Agreement may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party hereto. No assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder.

 

(i) This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or other electronic signature and in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together constitute one and the same instrument.
