Background

The securities regulatory authority or regulator in each of the Jurisdictions (the Decision Maker) has received an application from the Filer for a decision under the securities legislation of the Jurisdictions (the Legislation) that the Filer is not a reporting issuer in the Jurisdictions (the Relief Sought).

Under the Process for Exemptive Relief Applications in Multiple Jurisdictions (for a coordinated review application)

(a) the Alberta Securities Commission is the principal regulator for this application; and

(b) this decision is the decision of the principal regulator and evidences the decision of each other Decision Maker.

Interpretation

Terms defined in National Instrument 14-101 Definitions have the same meaning if used in this decision, unless otherwise defined herein.

2. The Filer's head office is located in Calgary, Alberta.

3. The Filer is a reporting issuer in the Jurisdictions. The Filer is applying for a decision that it is not a reporting issuer in the Jurisdictions.

5. The common shares of the Filer, which traded under the symbol "KCK" on the TSX Venture Exchange, were delisted effective at the close of business on December 1, 2015.

6. The ticker symbol "CXLIF" for the common shares of the Filer on the OTC grey market was deleted on December 3, 2015.

7. The Filer is not an "OTC issuer" as that term is defined under Multilateral Instrument 51-105 Issuers Quoted in the U.S. Over-the-Counter Markets.

9. The Filer has no securities outstanding other than the Common Shares.

12. The Filer has no current intention to seek public financing by way of offering its securities in Canada.

13. The Filer is not currently in default of any of its obligations under the Legislation as a reporting issuer, except its obligations to file (i) its interim financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, as required under National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations, which were due to be filed by November 30, 2015, and (ii) the related certification of such interim financial statements as required under National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings which were due to be filed by November 30, 2015.

Decision

Each of the Decision Makers is satisfied that the decision meets the test set out in the Legislation for the Decision Maker to make the decision.
