10.2 Assignment of interest. The Optionee shall not, except as set out in this Section, sell, transfer nor assign this Agreement or the Optioned Interest without the consent of the Optionor, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld. The Optionee shall be permitted to assign this Agreement to an Affiliate of the assigning party providing a guarantee, in form satisfactory to the other party, of the obligations of that Affiliate under this Agreement. Any assignment during the Option Period by the Assignee shall be subject to the assignee entering into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the other party, to be bound by this Agreement, and no such assignment shall be

to the extent required by law, regulation or policy of any securities commission or stock exchange, or in connection with the filing of an annual information form or a prospectus by any party or any of its Affiliates, shall not be disclosed to any person other than an Affiliate without the prior consent of all the other party, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld. Each party shall, where practicable, use reasonable commercial efforts to cause the text of any news releases or other public statements
which a party desires to make with respect to the Property to be made available to the other party prior to publication and the other party shall have the right to make suggestions for changes therein.
10.6 Waiver. The failure of a party in any one or more instances to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms of this Agreement
or to exercise any right or privilege arising under it shall not preclude it from requiring by reasonable notice that any other party duly perform its obligations or preclude it from exercising such a right or privilege under reasonable circumstances, nor shall waiver in any one instance of a breach be construed as an amendment of this Agreement or waiver of any later breach.
10.7 Enurement. This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
10.8 Further Assurances. The parties hereto shall from time to time at the request of any of the other parties hereto and without further
consideration, execute and deliver all such other additional assignments, transfers, instruments, notices, releases and other documents and shall do all such other acts and things as may be necessary or desirable to assure more fully the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
