Entry into Definitive Material
Agreement
On January 12, 2025, we entered
into a securities purchase agreement with various investors (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement, we agreed to issue (i) 4,256,400 of our common shares, (ii) 450,000 pre-funded warrants, each to acquire a common
share, and (iii) 2,353,200 common warrants, each to acquire a common share (the “Private Placement”). The purchase price was
US$1.25 for (i) one common share (or pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof) and (ii) half a common warrant for gross proceeds of US$5,883,000.
Any investor participating in the Private Placement who would have received a common share that would have caused such investor’s
beneficial ownership of our common shares to exceed 4.99% of our outstanding common shares after such issuance, received a pre-funded
warrant in lieu of such common share.
Pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement, we have agreed that, subject to certain exceptions, (i) we will not issue, or enter into any agreement to issue or
announce the issuance or proposed issuance of our common shares (or securities deemed equivalent to common shares) for a period of sixty
days following the closing of the offering and that (ii) we will not enter into a variable rate transaction for a period of eighteen months
following the closing of the offering provided, however, that the prohibition on variable rate transactions shall
not apply to any such transaction undertaken through an at-the-market facility effected through a registered broker dealer sales agent.
The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements on our part, customary conditions to closing,
indemnification obligations, other obligations of the parties, and termination provisions.
The remaining exercise price
of each pre-funded warrant is CAD$0.001. The pre-funded warrants are immediately exercisable upon the payment of the outstanding exercise
price and may be exercised at any time until all of the pre-funded warrants are exercised in full. The pre-funded are exercisable on a
standard cashless basis. No portion of a pre-funded warrant may be exercised if such exercise causes the holder thereof to have a beneficial
ownership of our common shares that exceeds 4.99% of our outstanding common shares after such issuance.
Each common warrant has an
exercise price of US$1.50 per share, will be immediately exercisable and will have a term of exercise equal to five and one half years
from the initial exercise date. The common warrants are exercisable on a standard cashless basis at anytime that a registration statement
for the resale of the common shares underlying such common warrants is not effective or available for use. No portion of a common warrant
may be exercised if such exercise causes the holder thereof to have a beneficial ownership of our common shares that exceeds 4.99% of
our outstanding common shares after such issuance.
The Private Placement closed
on January 16, 2025. Net proceeds from the Private Placement are approximately US$5.3 million, after deducting placement agent fees. We
intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital purposes. The issuance of the securities in the Private Placement
was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on Rule 506(b)
of Regulation D under the Securities Act or pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act regarding transactions not involving a public
offering.
In connection with the Private
Placement, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the counterparties to the Securities Purchase Agreement on January 12,
2025 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we have undertaken to register
the common shares sold in the Private Placement and the common shares underlying the common warrants and the pre-funded warrants. We have
agreed to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission registering such securities within ten days of
January 12, 2025 and to use our reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement be declared effective as promptly as possible
after filing, but in any event no later than the 45th calendar day following the closing of the Private Placement (or, in the event of
a “full review” by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the 60th calendar day following the closing of the Private
Placement).
On January 12, 2025, we also
entered into a placement agent agreement (the “Placement Agent Agreement”) with ThinkEquity LLC (the “Placement Agent”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agent Agreement, the Placement Agent agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the
sale of the securities in the Private Placement. We paid the Placement Agent (i) a cash fee of US$470,640, equal to 8.0% of the gross
proceeds from the Private Placement, (ii) reimbursed the Placement Agent for US$125,000 of its expenses in connection with the Private
Placement and have issued the Placement Agent and its assigns 235,320, placement agent warrants, an amount equal to 5% of the common shares
and pre-funded warrants sold in the Private Placement. The Placement Agent Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and
agreements on our part, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations for both us and the Placement Agent, including for
liabilities under the Securities Act, other obligations of the parties, and termination provisions.
Each placement agent warrant
is exercisable for one common share at an exercise price of US$1.50. The warrants are exercisable for five and one-half years from the
date of issuance.

Section 2.
Exercise of Warrant.
a) Exercise
of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise
Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy (or e-mail attachment) of the
Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto. Within one (1) Trading Day following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder
shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s
check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in
the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other
type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise Form be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant
Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the
Company for cancellation within five (5) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial
exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the
effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant
Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such
purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within one (1) Business Days of receipt of
such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of
this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase
hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Exercise
Price. The exercise price per Common Share under this Warrant shall be $1.50, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
c) Cashless
Exercise. If at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained
therein is not available for the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in
part, at such time by means of a "cashless exercise" in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares
equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = as
applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of
Exercise is (1) delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) delivered pursuant
to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of
Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) the highest Bid Price of the Common Shares
on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) within two (2) hours of the time of
the Holder’s delivery of the Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is delivered during “regular trading hours”
or within two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof
or (iii) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise
is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof at least two (2) hours after
the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted
hereunder; and
(X) = the
number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise
were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
If Warrant Shares
are issued in such a “cashless exercise,” the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of
the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the
Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary
to this Section 2(c).
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant
to this Section 2(c).
d) Mechanics
of Exercise.
i. Delivery
of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by its transfer
agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company
through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system
and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant
Shares by Holder, or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate
or held electronically through the Company’s transfer agent, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the
Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified
by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number
of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), in each case after the delivery
to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). If the Warrant Shares can
be delivered via DWAC, the transfer agent shall have received from the Company, at the expense of the Company, any legal opinions or other
documentation required by it to deliver such Warrant Shares without legend (subject to receipt by the Company of reasonable back up documentation
from the Holder with respect to affiliate status) and, if applicable and requested by the Company prior to the Warrant Share Delivery
Date. The Company hereby covenants and agrees with the Holder to cause its counsel to deliver such legal opinion to its transfer agent
prior to the Warrant Share Delivery Date. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated
to be named therein shall be deemed for purposes of Regulation SHO to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes,
as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, provided that payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if
permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) is made prior to the issuance
of such shares. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the
Trading Day following the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as
a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Shares on the date of the applicable
Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the third Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin
to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such
exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding
and exercisable.
ii. Delivery
of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and
upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing
the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects
be identical with this Warrant.
iii. Rescission
Rights. If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by
the Warrant Share Delivery Date (for avoidance of doubt, other than any such failure that is due solely to any action or inaction by the
Holder), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise; provided, however, that the Holder shall be required
to return any Warrant Shares or Common Shares subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to Holder of
the aggregate Exercise Price paid to the Company for such Warrant Shares and the restoration of Holder’s right to acquire such Warrant
Shares pursuant to this Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).
iv. Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if
the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant
Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise)
or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant
Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay
in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions,
if any) for the Common Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that
the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell
order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of
the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed
rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of Common Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise
and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover
a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Common Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of
$10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder
shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the
Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available
to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect
to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Common Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
v. No
Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall,
at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the
Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
vi. Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental
expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant
Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however,
that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for
exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as
a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all
transfer agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another
established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
vii. Closing
of Books. The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant,
pursuant to the terms hereof.
viii. Signature.
This Section 2 and the exercise form attached hereto set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Holder in order to
exercise this Warrant. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original exercise form shall be required, nor shall any medallion
guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any exercise form be required in order to exercise this Warrant. No additional
legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Holder to exercise this Warrant. The Company shall honor exercises
of this Warrant and shall deliver Shares underlying this Warrant in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth herein.
e) Holder’s
Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise
any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise
as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting
as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would
beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number
of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Common Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Common
Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the
Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion
of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Share Equivalents) subject to a limitation on
conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution
Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated
in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged
by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that
the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation
to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is
exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s
determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates
and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation,
and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any
group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding Common Shares, a
Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual
report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent
written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of Common Shares outstanding. Upon the written
or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Common
Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion
or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date
as of which such number of outstanding Common Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99%
(or, upon election by a Holder prior to the issuance of any Warrants, 9.99%) of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after
giving effect to the issuance of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase
or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Common Shares
upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase
in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions
of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to
correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation
herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations
contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
Section 3.
Certain Adjustments.
a) | Stock Dividends and Share Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding:
(i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on its Common Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent
securities payable in Common Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Common Shares issued by the Company upon exercise
of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way
of consolidation or reverse share split) outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification
of Common Shares any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of
which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged.
Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination
of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the
case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification. For the purposes of clarification, the Exercise Price of this Warrant will not
be adjusted in the event that the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, sells or grants any option to purchase, or sell or
grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition)
any Common Shares or Common Share Equivalents, at an effective price per share less than the Exercise Price then in effect. |
c) | Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above,
if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Share Equivalents or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or
other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder
will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have
acquired if the Holder had held the number of Common Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations
on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is
taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders
of Common Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the
Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation,
then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such Common Shares
as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until
such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). |
d) | Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare
or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Shares, by way of return
of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of shares or other securities, property or options by way of
a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”),
at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution
to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Common Shares acquirable upon
complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the
date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided,
however, to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial
ownership of any Common Shares as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in
abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation). To the extent that this Warrant has not been partially or completely exercised at the time of such Distribution,
such portion of the Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder has exercised this Warrant. |
e) | Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company,
directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person,
(ii) the Company (or any Subsidiary), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance
or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any,
direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to
which holders of Common Shares are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been
accepted by the holders of greater than 50% of the common shares of the Company or greater than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding
common and preferred shares of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects
any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common
Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than a stock split), or (v) the
Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business
combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement (other than
a stock split)) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires greater than 50% of the common shares
of the Company or greater than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding common and preferred shares of the Company (each a “Fundamental
Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant
Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option
of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of Common Shares
of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the
“Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Common Shares
for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on
the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted
to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Common Share in such
Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting
the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Shares are given any choice as to
the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the
Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s
option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later,
the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the
Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the
date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s
control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or
any Successor Entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised
portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Shares of the Company in connection with the Fundamental
Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Shares
are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided,
further, that if holders of Common Shares of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such
holders of Common Shares will be deemed to have received shares of the Successor Entity (which Successor Entity may be the Company following
such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if the Fundamental Transaction consists of the
issuance of a number of common shares of the Company greater than 50% of the Company’s outstanding common shares for an acquisition
of another Person or group of Persons by the Company, the Holder shall not have the option to require the Company to purchase this Warrant
pursuant to this section. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing
Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period
equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination
Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg
(determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable
contemplated Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the
sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such
Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the highest VWAP during the period beginning on the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement
of the applicable Fundamental Transaction (or the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, if earlier) and ending on the
Trading Day of the Holder's request pursuant to this Section 3(e), (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the
date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, and (E) a zero cost of borrow.
The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Trading Days
of the Holder’s election (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction). The Company shall cause any successor
entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing
all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the
Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder
in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance
to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity)
equivalent to the Common Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise
of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such
shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the Common Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and
the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting
the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory
in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall be added to the
term “Company” under this Warrant (so that from and after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction,
the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to each
of the Company and the Successor Entity, or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities,
jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto, and the Successor Entity or Successor
Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with
the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company
herein. |
f) | Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the
nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of Common Shares deemed to be issued and
outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding. |
i. Adjustment
to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly
mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant
Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice
to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the
Common Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Shares, (C) the
Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of
capital stock of the Company of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required
in connection with any reclassification of the Common Shares, any consolidation, merger, amalgamation or arrangement to which the Company
is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the
Common Shares are converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed a notice
to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the
applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose
of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of
the Common Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the
date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, arrangement, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to
become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange
their Common Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, amalgamation,
arrangement, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to provide such notice or any defect therein shall not affect
the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes,
or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file
such notice on SEDAR+ and with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise
this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except
as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
Section 4.
Transfer of Warrant.
a) Transferability.
This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part,
upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this
Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any
transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute
and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations
specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so
assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required
to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall
surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company
assigning this Warrant full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase
of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
b) New
Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company,
together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or
its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination,
the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance
with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be
identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
c) Warrant
Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant
Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder
of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other
purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
Section 5.
Miscellaneous.
a) No
Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as
a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.
b) Loss,
Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of
loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include
the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or share certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make
and deliver a new Warrant or share certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or share certificate.
c) Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or
granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading
Day.
d) Authorized
Shares.
The Company covenants
that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Shares a sufficient number
of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further
covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the
necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action
as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation,
or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Shares may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares
which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any
transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder,
the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its notice of articles or through any reorganization, transfer
of assets, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist
in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights
of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not
increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase
in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue
fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to
enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any
action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price,
the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory
body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
e) Jurisdiction.
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance
with the provisions of the securities purchase agreement, dated January 12, 2025, by and between the Company and the Holder (the
“Securities Purchase Agreement”), as if the Holder were a party thereto, despite the fact the Holder may not be a party
thereto.
f) Restrictions.
The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, or otherwise able to be
resold or transferred without restriction pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, and the Holder does not
utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
g) Currency.
As used herein, “$” refers to U.S. dollars.
h) Nonwaiver
and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as
a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this
Warrant or the Securities Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant,
which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover
any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred
by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
i) Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice
of Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile or by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier
service, addressed to the Company, at 730 Boulevard du Cure-Boivin, Boisbriand, Québec J7G 2A7 (rs@v-mti.com) or such other facsimile
number, email address or address as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders. Any and all notices or other communications
or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, email or sent by a nationally
recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the facsimile number, email address or address of such Holder appearing
on the books of the Company. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest
of (i) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number or e-mail at
the e-mail address set forth in this Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the next Trading
Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number or e-mail at the
e-mail address set forth in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on
any Trading Day, (iii) the second Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier
service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
j) Limitation
of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant
Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase
price of any Common Shares or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company.
k) Remedies.
The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific
performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss
incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any
action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
l) Successors
and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.
The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable
by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
m) Amendment.
This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
n) Severability.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
o) No
Expense Reimbursement. The Holder shall in no way be required the pay, or to reimburse the Company for, any fees or expenses of the
Company’s transfer agent in connection with the issuance or holding or sale of the Common Shares, Warrants and/or Warrant Shares.
The Company shall solely be responsible for any and all such fees and expenses.
p) Headings.
The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

Section 2. Exercise.
a) Exercise
of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Issue Date
and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice
of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading
Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein)
following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver to the Company the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares
specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless
exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice
of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise
be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to
the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full,
in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date
on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion
of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares
purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased in connection with such partial exercise.
The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The
Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Trading Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder
and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following
the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given
time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Exercise
Price. The aggregate exercise price of this Warrant, except for a nominal exercise price of CAD$0.001 per Warrant Share, was pre-funded
to the Company on or prior to the Issue Date and, consequently, no additional consideration (other than the nominal exercise price of
CAD$0.001 per Warrant Share) shall be required to be paid by the Holder to any Person to effect any exercise of this Warrant. The Holder
shall not be entitled to the return or refund of all, or any portion, of such pre-paid aggregate exercise price under any circumstance
or for any reason whatsoever, including in the event this Warrant shall not have been exercised prior to the Termination Date. The remaining
unpaid exercise price per Common Share under this Warrant shall be CAD$0.001, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
c) Cashless
Exercise. This Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which
the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares for the deemed surrender of the Warrant in whole or in part equal to
the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = as
applicable: (i) the VWAP of the Common Shares on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise
if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not
a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening
of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(68) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities
laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (x) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding
the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (y) the Bid Price of the Common Shares as of the time of the Holder’s execution
of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day
and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof (including until two (2) hours
after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day), or (iii) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares
on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise
is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on
such Trading Day;
(B) = the Exercise Price of this
Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
(X) = the number
of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were
by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
The issue price for each
such Warrant Share to be issued pursuant to the cashless exercise of a Warrant will be equal to (B), as defined above, and the total issue
price for the aggregate number of Warrant Shares issued pursuant to the cashless exercise of a Warrant will be deemed paid and satisfied
in full by the deemed surrender to the Company of the portion of such Warrant being exercised in accordance with this Section 1(c).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to make any cash payments or net cash settlement to
the Holder in lieu of delivery of the Warrant Shares. If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge
and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the registered characteristics
of the Warrants being exercised. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).
“Bid Price”
means, for any security as of the particular time of determination, the bid price for such security on the Trading Market as reported
by Bloomberg as of such time of determination, or, if the Trading Market is not the principal securities exchange or trading market for
such security, the bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or
traded as reported by Bloomberg as of such time of determination, or if the foregoing does not apply, the bid price of such security in
the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg as of such time of determination,
or, if no bid price is reported for such security by Bloomberg as of such time of determination, the average of the bid prices of any
market makers for such security as reported on the Pink Open Market as of such time of determination. If the Bid Price cannot be calculated
for a security as of the particular time of determination on any of the foregoing bases, the Bid Price of such security as of such time
of determination shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holder. If the Company and the Holder are
unable to agree upon the fair market value of such security, then such fair market value shall be determined pursuant to the provisions
set forth in clause (d) of the definition of VWAP. All such determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any share dividend, share
split, share consolidation, reclassification or other similar transaction during the applicable calculation period.
“VWAP”
means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Shares are then listed
or quoted for trading on a Trading Market other than the OTCQB, OTCQX or Pink Open Market operated by OTC Markets Group, the daily volume
weighted average price of the Common Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Shares
are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New
York City time)), (b) if the Common Shares are then quoted for trading on the OTCQB or OTCQX operated by OTC Markets Group, the volume
weighted average price of the Common Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if
the Common Shares is then quoted for trading on the Pink Open Market operated by OTC Markets Group (or a similar organization or agency
succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent Bid Price per Common Share reported on the Pink Open Market, or (d) in
all other cases, the fair market value of one Common Share as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the holders
of a majority in interest of the Warrants then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall
be paid by the Company.
d) Mechanics of Exercise.
i. Delivery
of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer
Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with the Depository Trust Company
through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (the “DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system
and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to, or resale of, the Warrant
Shares by the Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate,
registered in the Company’s register of members in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which
the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is
the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day after the delivery of the Notice of Exercise to the Company and (ii) the number
of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the
“Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate
purposes to have become the Holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective
of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless
exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise
and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. If the
Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery
Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject
to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Shares on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing
to $20 per Trading Day on the third Trading Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery
Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered to said Holder or the Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a Transfer
Agent that is a participant in the Fast Automated Securities Transfer, or FAST, program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and
exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number
of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Shares as in effect on the date of delivery
of the Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Notice(s) of Exercise delivered on or prior to 12:00
p.m. (New York City time) on the Issue Date, which may be delivered at any time after the time of execution of the Placement Agent
Agreement, dated December 17, 2024 between the Company and ThinkEquity LLC, the Company agrees to deliver the Warrant Shares subject
to such notice(s) by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Issue Date.
ii. Delivery
of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and
upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing
the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects
be identical with this Warrant.
iii. Rescission
Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by
the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv. Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to a Holder, if the
Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above
pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase
(in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction
of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”),
then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price
(including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the
number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue by (2) the
price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate
the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise
shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of Common Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied
with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Shares having a total purchase price
of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Common Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase
obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000.
The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request
of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available
to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect
to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Common Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
v. No
Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall,
at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the
Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
vi. Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental
expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant
Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however,
that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for
exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as
a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all
Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another
established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
vii. Closing
of Books. The Company shall not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant,
pursuant to the terms hereof.
e) Holder’s
Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise
any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise
as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting
as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)),
would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the
number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Common
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of
Common Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned
by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted
portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Share Equivalents) subject to a limitation
on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution
Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated
in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged
by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that
the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation
to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is
exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s
determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates
and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation,
and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any
group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding Common Shares, a
Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual
report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent
written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Common Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request
of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Common Shares
then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise
of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which
such number of outstanding Common Shares were reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% (or, upon
election by a Holder prior to the issuance of any Warrants, 9.99%) of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving
effect to the issuance of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or
decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in
no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Common Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company.
The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of
this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended
Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such
limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Share
Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a share dividend or otherwise makes
a distribution or distributions on Common Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Common Shares (which,
for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Common Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides
outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split or consolidation)
outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, (iv) issues by reclassification of Common Shares any share capital of
the Company or (v) issues bonus shares, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator
shall be the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator
shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment
made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders
entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision,
combination, or re-classification or bonus share issue.
b) Subsequent
Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues
or sells any Common Share Equivalents or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders
of Common Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to
such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Common Shares
acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation,
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase
Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue
or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any
such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to
participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such Common Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to
such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto
would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
c) Pro
Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution
of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without
limitation, any distribution of cash, shares or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification,
corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after
the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent
that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Common Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of
this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation)
immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the
record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that
to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership
of any Common Shares as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for
the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation).
d) Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related
transactions effects any merger or amalgamation or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company,
directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially
all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange
offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are permitted to sell, tender
or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding
Common Shares or 50% or more of the voting power of the Common Shares of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly,
in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of Common Shares or any compulsory
share exchange pursuant to which Common Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or
(v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a share purchase agreement or other business
combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person
or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Common Shares or 50% or more of the
voting power of the common equity of the Company (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise
of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise
immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in
Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of Common Shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of
the Company, if it is the surviving corporation or is otherwise the continuing corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate
Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Common Shares for which
this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on
the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted
to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of Common Shares in such
Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner
reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Shares are given any choice
as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as
to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall
cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”)
to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant
to written agreements prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange
for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to
this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares or other securities of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity)
equivalent to the Common Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise
of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such
shares of or other securities (but taking into account the relative value of the Common Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction
and the value of such shares or securities, such number of shares or securities and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting
the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction). Upon the occurrence of any
such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such
Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity),
and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with
the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
e) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For
purposes of this Section 3, the number of Common Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of
the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
f) Notice to Holder.
i. Adjustment
to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly
deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment
to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice
to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the
Common Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Shares, (C) the
Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of
the Company or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification
of the Common Shares, any consolidation or merger, amalgamation or arrangement to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Shares are converted into other
securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding
up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its
last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to
the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for
the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the
holders of the Common Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined
or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, arrangement, sale, transfer or share exchange
is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Shares of record shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of Common Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, amalgamation, arrangement sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect
therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the
extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any
of its subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”), the Company shall simultaneously file such notice on SEDAR+ and with the
Commission pursuant to a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant
during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise
be expressly set forth herein.
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
a) Transferability.
This Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of
the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly
executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer.
Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the
assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue
to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder
has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading
Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. This Warrant, if properly
assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
b) New
Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company,
together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or
its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination,
the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance
with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the original Issue Date of this Warrant and shall be identical
with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
c) Warrant
Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant
Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder
of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other
purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a) No
Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as
a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.
Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or
to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event, including if the Company
is for any reason unable to issue and deliver Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms thereof,
shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.
b) Loss,
Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any share certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case
of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which shall in no event include the posting of
any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or share certificate, if mutilated, the Company shall make and deliver
a new Warrant or share certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or share certificate.
c) Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or
granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading
Day.
d) Authorized
Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued
Common Shares a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights
under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who
are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company
shall take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without
violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Shares may be listed
or quoted for trading. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance
herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the
Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the
extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate
of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, arrangement dissolution, issue
or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this
Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may
be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Company shall (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such
exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that
the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction
thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any
action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price,
the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory
body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
e) Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflict of
laws thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of this Warrant shall
be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (the “New York Courts”).
Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute
hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement
of any provision hereunder), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or Proceeding, any claim that
it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such New York Courts, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for
such Proceeding. If any party shall commence an action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, then the prevailing party
in such action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred
in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or Proceeding.
f) Currency.
As used herein, “$” refers to U.S. dollars.
g) Restrictions.
The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and if the Holder does
not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
h) Nonwaiver
and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as
a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this
Warrant, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages
to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but
not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate Proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts
due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
a) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice of Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile or by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company, at 730 Boulevard du Cure-Boivin, Boisbriand, Québec J7G 2A7 (rs@v-mti.com) or such other facsimile number, email address or address as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, email or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the facsimile number, email address or address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number or e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number or e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the second Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
b) Limitation
of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant
Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase
price of any Common Shares or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company.
c) Remedies.
The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific
performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss
incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any
action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
d) Successors
and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.
The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable
by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
e) Amendment.
This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company, on the one hand, and
the Holder on the other hand.
f) Severability.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
g) No
Expense Reimbursement. The Holder shall in no way be required to pay, or to reimburse the Company for, any fees or expenses of the
Transfer Agent in connection with the issuance or holding or sale of Common Shares, Warrant and/or Warrant Shares. The Company shall solely
be responsible for any and all such fees and expenses.
h) Headings.
The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

Section 2.
Exercise of Warrant.
a) Exercise
of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise
Date and through and including the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile or PDF copy submitted by e-mail
(or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto. Within one (1) Trading Day following the date of exercise
as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire
transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below
is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee
(or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise Form be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant
Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company
for cancellation within five (5) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises
of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of
lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares
purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases.
The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within one (1) Business Days of receipt of such notice.
The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph,
following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at
any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Exercise
Price. The exercise price per Common Share under this Warrant shall be $1.50, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
c) Cashless
Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant by delivering the aggregate Exercise Price by wire transfer or cashier’s check,
at the election of the Holder this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise”
in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by
(A), where:
| (A) | = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable
Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is |
(1) delivered
pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof
on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated
under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) the highest Bid Price of the Common Shares on the principal Trading
Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) within two (2) hours of the time of the Holder’s delivery
of the Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is delivered during “regular trading hours” or within two (2) hours
after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP
on the Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and
such Notice of Exercise is delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof at least two (2) hours after the close of “regular
trading hours” on such Trading Day;
| (B) | = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and |
| (X) | = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless
exercise. |
If Warrant Shares
are issued in such a “cashless exercise,” the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of
the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the
Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary
to this Section 2(c).
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant
to this Section 2(c).
d) Mechanics
of Exercise.
i. Delivery
of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by its transfer
agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company
through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system
and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant
Shares by Holder, or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate
or held electronically through the Company’s transfer agent, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the
Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified
by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number
of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), in each case after the delivery
to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). If the Warrant Shares can
be delivered via DWAC, the transfer agent shall have received from the Company, at the expense of the Company, any legal opinions or other
documentation required by it to deliver such Warrant Shares without legend (subject to receipt by the Company of reasonable back up documentation
from the Holder with respect to affiliate status) and, if applicable and requested by the Company prior to the Warrant Share Delivery
Date. The Company hereby covenants and agrees with the Holder to cause its counsel to deliver such legal opinion to its transfer agent
prior to the Warrant Share Delivery Date. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated
to be named therein shall be deemed for purposes of Regulation SHO to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes,
as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, provided that payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if
permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) is made prior to the issuance
of such shares. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the
Trading Day following the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as
a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Shares on the date of the applicable
Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the third Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin
to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such
exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding
and exercisable.
ii. Delivery
of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant
shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at
the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the
unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this
Warrant.
iii. Rescission
Rights. If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by
the Warrant Share Delivery Date (for avoidance of doubt, other than any such failure that is due solely to any action or inaction by
the Holder), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise; provided, however, that the Holder shall be
required to return any Warrant Shares or Common Shares subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to
Holder of the aggregate Exercise Price paid to the Company for such Warrant Shares and the restoration of Holder’s right to acquire
such Warrant Shares pursuant to this Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).
iv. Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise.
In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the
Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by
its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Common
Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise
(a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained
by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise
at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option
of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored
(in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of Common Shares that would have been issued
had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Shares
having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Common Shares with an aggregate sale
price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall
be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder
in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s
right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Common Shares upon exercise of the
Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
v. No
Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares
or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the
Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment
in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole
share.
vi. Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental
expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant
Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however,
that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for
exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as
a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all
transfer agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another
established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
vii. Closing
of Books. TheCompany will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant,
pursuant to the terms hereof.
viii. Signature.
This Section 2 and the exercise form attached hereto set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Holder in order
to exercise this Warrant. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original exercise form shall be required, nor shall any
medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any exercise form be required in order to exercise this Warrant.
No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Holder to exercise this Warrant. The Company
shall honor exercises of this Warrant and shall deliver Shares underlying this Warrant in accordance with the terms, conditions and
time periods set forth herein.
e) Holder’s
Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise
any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise
as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting
as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would
beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number
of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Common Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Common
Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the
Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion
of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Share Equivalents) subject to a limitation on
conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution
Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated
in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged
by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that
the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation
to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is
exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s
determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates
and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation,
and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any
group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding Common Shares, a
Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual
report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent
written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of Common Shares outstanding. Upon the written
or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Common
Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion
or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date
as of which such number of outstanding Common Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99%
(or, upon election by a Holder prior to the issuance of any Warrants, 9.99%) of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after
giving effect to the issuance of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase
or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Common Shares
upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase
in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company.
The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of
this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended
Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such
limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
Section 3.
Certain Adjustments.
| a) | Stock Dividends and Share Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding:
(i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on its Common Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent
securities payable in Common Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Common Shares issued by the Company upon exercise
of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way
of consolidation or reverse share split) outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues
by reclassification of the Common Shares within any share capital of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied
by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately
before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and the
number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this
Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the
record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately
after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification. For the purposes of clarification, the Exercise
Price of this Warrant will not be adjusted in the event that the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, sells or grants any
option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any
option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Shares or Common Share Equivalents, at an effective price per share less than the
Exercise Price then in effect. |
| c) | Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above,
if at any time while this Warrant is outstanding the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Share Equivalents or rights to purchase
shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Shares (the “Purchase Rights”),
then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the
Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Common Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without
regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the
date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of
which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however,
to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership
of such Common Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance
for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). |
| d) | Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare
or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Shares, by way of return
of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of shares or other securities, property or options by way of
a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”),
at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution
to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Common Shares acquirable upon
complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date
of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares
are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder's right
to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall
not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any Common Shares as a result of
such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such
time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). To the extent that
this Warrant has not been partially or completely exercised at the time of such Distribution, such portion of the Distribution shall be
held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder has exercised this Warrant. |
| e) | Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company,
directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person,
(ii) the Company (or any Subsidiary), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance
or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any,
direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to
which holders of Common Shares are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been
accepted by the holders of greater than 50% of the common shares of the Company or greater than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding
common and preferred shares of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects
any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common
Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than a stock split), or (v) the
Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business
combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement (other than
a stock split)) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires greater than 50% of the common shares
of the Company or greater than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding common and preferred shares of the Company (each a “Fundamental
Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant
Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option
of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of Common Shares
of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the
“Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Common Shares
for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on
the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted
to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Common Share in such
Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting
the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Shares are given any choice
as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as
to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s
option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later,
the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the
Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the
date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s
control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or
any Successor Entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised
portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Shares of the Company in connection with the Fundamental
Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Shares
are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided,
further, that if holders of Common Shares of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such
holders of Common Shares will be deemed to have received shares of the Successor Entity (which Successor Entity may be the Company following
such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if the Fundamental Transaction consists of the
issuance of a number of common shares of the Company greater than 50% of the Company’s outstanding common shares for an acquisition
of another Person or group of Persons by the Company, the Holder shall not have the option to require the Company to purchase this Warrant
pursuant to this section. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing
Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period
equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination
Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg
(determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable
contemplated Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the
sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such
Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the highest VWAP during the period beginning on the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement
of the applicable Fundamental Transaction (or the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, if earlier) and ending on the
Trading Day of the Holder's request pursuant to this Section 3(e), (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the
date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, and (E) a zero cost of borrow.
The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Trading Days
of the Holder’s election (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction). The Company shall cause any successor
entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing
all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the
Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder
in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance
to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity)
equivalent to the Common Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise
of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such
shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the Common Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and
the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting
the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory
in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall be added to the
term “Company” under this Warrant (so that from and after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction,
the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to each
of the Company and the Successor Entity, or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities,
jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto, and the Successor Entity or Successor
Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with
the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company
herein. |
| f) | Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the
nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of Common Shares deemed to be issued and
outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding. |
i.
Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price
is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the
Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement
of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice
to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on
the Common Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Shares,
(C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or
purchase any shares of capital stock of the Company of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the
Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Shares, any consolidation, merger, amalgamation or
arrangement to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any
compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Shares are converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company
shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each
case, the Company shall cause to be mailed a notice to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register
of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating
(x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants,
or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend,
distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, amalgamation, arrangement, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the
date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares for
securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, arrangement, sale,
transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall
not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided
hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company
shall simultaneously file such notice on SEDAR+ and with the Commission pursuant to a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on
Form 6-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to
the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
Section 4.
Transfer of Warrant.
a) Transferability.
This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part,
upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this
Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any
transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute
and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations
specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so
assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required
to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall
surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company
assigning this Warrant full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase
of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
b) New
Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company,
together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or
its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination,
the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance
with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated as if the Initial Exercise Date and shall be identical
with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
c) Warrant
Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant
Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder
of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other
purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
Section 5.
Miscellaneous.
a) No
Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as
a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.
b) Loss,
Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of
loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include
the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or share certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make
and deliver a new Warrant or share certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or share certificate.
c) Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or
granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading
Day.
d) Authorized
Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant isoutstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued
Common Shares a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights
under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who
are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company
will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without
violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Shares may be listed.
The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant
will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect
of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the
extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its notice
of articles or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, arrangement, dissolution, issue or
sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant,
but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary
or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise
immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company
may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof,
as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any
action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price,
the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory
body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
e) Jurisdiction.
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance
with the provisions of the securities purchase agreement, dated January 12, 2025, by and between the Company and the Holder (the
“Securities Purchase Agreement”), as if the Holder were a party thereto, despite the fact the Holder may not be a party
thereto.
f) Restrictions.
The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, or otherwise able to be
resold or transferred without restriction pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, and the Holder does not
utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
g) Currency.
As used herein, “$” refers to U.S. dollars.
h) Nonwaiver
and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as
a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this
Warrant or the Securities Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant,
which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover
any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred
by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
i) Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice
of Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile or by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier
service, addressed to the Company, at 730 Boulevard du Cure-Boivin, Boisbriand, Québec J7G 2A7 (rs@v-mti.com) or such other facsimile
number, email address or address as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders. Any and all notices or other communications
or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, email or sent by a nationally
recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the facsimile number, email address or address of such Holder appearing
on the books of the Company. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest
of (i) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number or e-mail at
the e-mail address set forth in this Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the next Trading
Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number or e-mail at the
e-mail address set forth in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on
any Trading Day, (iii) the second Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier
service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
j) Limitation
of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant
Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase
price of any Common Shares or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company.
k) Remedies.
The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific
performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss
incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any
action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
l) Successors
and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.
The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable
by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
m) Amendment.
This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
n) Severability.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
o) No
Expense Reimbursement. The Holder shall in no way be required the pay, or to reimburse the Company for, any fees or expenses of the
Company’s transfer agent in connection with the issuance or holding or sale of the Common Shares, Warrants and/or Warrant Shares.
The Company shall solely be responsible for any and all such fees and expenses.
p) Headings.
The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

or charter documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign
corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification

material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company
and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform in any material
respect on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse
Effect”) and no Proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke,
limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.
(c) Authorization;
Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The
execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further
action is required by the Company, the Board of Directors or the Company’s shareholders in connection herewith or therewith other
than in connection with the Required Approvals. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the Company is a party has
been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof,
will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except:

of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability

and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the issuance and sale of the Securities and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not: (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s

case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Consents and Approvals. The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization, approval, registration, license,

fees to the Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing corporation) in connection with such electronic transfer.

of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their
obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation as a result of the Company’s

furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers in this Agreement (including the schedules hereto) regarding the Company and
its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement,
is true and correct in all material respects and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
The press releases disseminated by the Company during the twelve months preceding the date of this Agreement taken as a whole do not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order
to make the information therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made and when made, not misleading. The Company
acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.
(aa) No Integrated
Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2, neither the
Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales
of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Securities to

any such securities under the Securities Act, or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval provisions of any Trading Market on which
any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
(bb) Solvency.
Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company

amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known
contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on
its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital
requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof,
and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of
its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its
liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts
as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge
of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization
laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. Schedule 3.1(bb) sets forth as of the date hereof all outstanding
secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. Neither

the ordinary course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of
others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto),

business; and (z) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance

know of no basis for any such claim.

with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, threatened.
(ss) No Disqualification
Events. With respect to the Securities to be offered and sold hereunder in reliance on Rule 506 under the Securities Act,
none of the Company, any of its predecessors, any affiliated issuer, any director, executive officer, other officer of the Company participating
in the offering hereunder, any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting equity securities, calculated
on the basis of voting power, nor any promoter (as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) connected with the
Company in any capacity at the time of sale (each, an “Issuer Covered Person” and, together, “Issuer Covered
Persons”) is subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under
the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or
(d)(3). The Company has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event.
The Company has complied, to the extent applicable, with its disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e), and has furnished to the
Purchasers a copy of any disclosures provided thereunder.
(tt) Other Covered
Persons. The Company is not aware of any person (other than any Issuer Covered Person) that has been or will be paid (directly or
indirectly) remuneration for solicitation of purchasers in connection with the sale of any Securities.
(uu) Notice
of Disqualification Events. The Company will notify the Purchasers and the Placement Agent in writing, prior to the Closing Date
of (i) any Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of
time, reasonably be expected to become a Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person.
(vv) D&O
Questionnaires. To the Company’s knowledge, all information contained in the questionnaires most recently completed by each
of the Company’s directors and officers and beneficial owner of 5% or more of the Common Shares or Common Share Equivalents is
true and correct in all respects and the Company has not become aware of any information which would cause the information disclosed
in such questionnaires to become inaccurate and incorrect.
(ww) Canadian
Securities Laws; Registration under Exchange Act. The Company is a reporting issuer under Canadian Securities Laws in the Province
of Quebec and is not on the list of defaulting reporting issuers maintained by the Canadian securities commission of Quebec that maintains
such a list; the Company has taken no action designed to, or likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common
Shares of the Company under the Exchange Act.
3.2 Representations and
Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants as of the date
hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein, in which case they shall be accurate
as of such date):
(a) Organization;
Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company
or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise
to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by such
Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership,
limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a
party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute
the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as limited by
the Enforceability Exceptions.
(b) Own
Account. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under
the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with
a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state
securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable
state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the
distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty
not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such
Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.
(c) Purchaser
Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof, it is either: (i) an “accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a
“qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.
(d) Experience
of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience
in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities,
and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the
Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(e) General
Solicitation. Purchaser represents that (i) Purchaser was contacted regarding the sale of the Securities by the Placement Agent
or the Company (or authorized representative thereof) and the Purchaser had a prior pre-existing relationship with the Company or the
Placement Agent under the U.S. securities laws and interpretations, (ii) to the knowledge of such Purchaser, no Securities were
offered or sold to it by means of any form of general solicitation, and such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of
any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media
or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or, to the knowledge of such Purchaser, any other general solicitation
or general advertisement.
(f) Access
to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all exhibits
and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary
of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities
and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition,
results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the
opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that
is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that
neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate of the Placement Agent has provided such Purchaser with any information or advice with
respect to the Shares nor is such information or advice necessary or desired. Neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate has
made or makes any representation as to the Company or the quality of the Securities and the Placement Agent and any Affiliate may have
acquired non-public information with respect to the Company which such Purchaser agrees need not be provided to it. In connection
with the issuance of the Securities to such Purchaser, neither the Placement Agent nor any of its Affiliates has acted as a financial
advisor or fiduciary to such Purchaser.
(g) Certain
Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not directly
or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, executed any purchases or
sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first
communicated with the Company or any other Person representing the Company regarding the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending
immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment
vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have
no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets,
the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made
the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement or
to such Purchaser’s representatives, including, without limitation, its officers, directors, employees, partners, legal and other
advisors, agents and Affiliates, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this
transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing
contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to the identification of the availability
of, or securing of, available shares to borrow in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the
representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document
or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained
herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order
to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.
ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1
Transfer Restrictions.
(a) The Securities
may only be transferred or otherwise disposed of in compliance with United States and Canadian state, provincial and federal securities
laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the
Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require
the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company,
the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer of such transferred
Securities does not require registration under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing
to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser
under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
(b) The Purchasers
agree to the placement, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend or book entry notation on or with respect to any
of the Securities in the following form:
THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES FOR
WHICH THIS SECURITY IS EXERCISABLE] HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES
COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT
AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT
WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN
RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
The Company acknowledges
and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or
grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as
defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer
pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company
and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no
notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable
documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities,
including, if the Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of
any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities
Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Shareholders (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) thereunder.
(c) Certificates
evidencing the Securities shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while
a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities
Act, (ii) following any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants and Pre-Funded
Warrants), (iii) if such Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants and Pre-Funded
Warrants) without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of
the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall,
at its expense, cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent and/or any Purchaser promptly after the Effective Date
if required by the Transfer Agent or if requested by a Purchaser to effect the removal of the legend hereunder or if requested by a Purchaser.
The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c),
it will, no later than the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard
Settlement Period (as defined below) following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing
Securities, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause
to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The
Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer
set forth in this Section 4. Certificates for Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer
Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed
by such Purchaser. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in
a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Shares as in effect on the date of
delivery of a certificate representing or DRS statements evidencing Securities issued with a restrictive legend.
(d) In addition
to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages
and not as a penalty, for each $2,500 of Shares or Warrant Shares (based on the average high and low prices of the Common Shares on the
date such Shares or Warrant Shares are submitted to the Transfer Agent) for which removal of the restrictive legend was requested and
subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages
have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend and (ii) if
the Company fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to a Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date a certificate (or
book entry notation) representing the Shares or Warrant Shares so delivered to the Company by such Purchaser that is free from all restrictive
and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date such Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise)
Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of all or any portion of the number of Common Shares, or a sale
of a number of Common Shares equal to all or any portion of the number of Common Shares that such Purchaser anticipated receiving from
the Company without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the Common Shares so purchased (including brokerage commissions and
other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (x) such number of Shares or Warrant
Shares for which legend removal was requested by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (y) the average of the high and low sales
prices of the Shares or Warrant Shares on the date on which the legend removal was requested.
(e) Each Purchaser,
severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that such Purchaser will only sell any Securities pursuant
to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption
therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution
set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth
in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.
4.2 Furnishing of Information;
Public Information.
(a) If the
Common Shares are not registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act on the date hereof, the Company shall
use its best efforts to cause the Common Shares to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act on or before the 60th
calendar day following the date hereof. Until the earliest of the time that no Purchaser owns Securities the Company covenants
to maintain the registration of the Common Shares under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file
(or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company
after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange
Act.
(b) Provided
that the registration statement registering the Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement is not effective
and available for use, at any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof and ending
at such time that all of the Shares and Warrant Shares may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and
otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company (i) shall fail for any reason to satisfy the
current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) or (ii) has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or
becomes such an issuer in the future, and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a “Public
Information Failure”) then, in addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser,
in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Shares
and Warrant Shares, an amount in cash equal to one percent (1%) of the aggregate Subscription Amount of such Purchaser’s Securities
remaining to be sold on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day (pro-rated for periods totaling
less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured, and (b) such
time that such public information is no longer required for the Purchasers to transfer the Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to
Rule 144. The payments to which a Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) are referred to herein
as “Public Information Failure Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of
(i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third
(3rd) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured. In the
event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall
bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s
right to pursue actual damages for the Public Information Failure, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available
to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The parties agree
that the maximum aggregate Public Information Failure Payments payable to a Purchaser under this Agreement shall be 10% of the aggregate
Subscription Amount paid by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.
4.3 Integration. The
Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2
of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration
under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes
of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such
other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.
4.4
Warrant Shares. If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement
to cover the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares or if the Warrant is exercised via cashless exercise, the Warrant Shares issued
pursuant to any such exercise shall be issued free of all legends. If at any time following the date hereof the Registration Statement
(or any subsequent registration statement registering the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares) is not effective or is not otherwise
available for the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall immediately notify the holders of the Warrants and Pre-Funded
Warrants in writing that such registration statement is not then effective and thereafter shall promptly notify such holders when the
registration statement is effective again and available for the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares (it being understood and agreed
that the foregoing shall not limit the ability of the Company to issue, or any Purchaser to sell, any of the Warrant Shares in compliance
with applicable federal and state securities laws). The Company shall use best efforts to keep a registration statement (including the
Registration Statement) registering the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares effective during the term of the Warrants and Pre-Funded
Warrants.
4.5 Securities Laws Disclosure;
Publicity. The Company shall (a) by the Disclosure Time, issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions
contemplated hereby, and (b) file a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K, including the Transaction Documents as exhibits
thereto, with the Commission within the time required by the Exchange Act. From and after the issuance of such press release, the Company
represents to the Purchasers that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to any of the Purchasers
by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. In addition, effective upon the issuance of such press release, the Company acknowledges
and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company,
any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates on the one hand, and any of the
Purchasers or any of their Affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate and be of no further force and effect. The Company understands
and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. The
Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without
the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser
with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure
is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement
or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name
of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such
Purchaser, except: (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with (i) any registration statement contemplated
by the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission and (b) to the
extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with
prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b).
4.6 Shareholder Rights
Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser
is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution
under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser
could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents.
4.7 Non-Public Information.
Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, which shall be
disclosed pursuant to Section 4.5, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf will
provide any Purchaser (other than Purchasers who are then directors or officers of the Company) or its agents or counsel with any information
that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser
shall have consented to the receipt of such information and agreed with the Company to keep such information confidential. The Company
understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the
Company. To the extent that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents
delivers any material, non-public information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and
agrees that such Purchaser shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective
officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates, or a duty to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers,
directors, agents, employees or Affiliates not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information, provided that the Purchaser
shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains,
material, non-public information regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously furnish such notice with
the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 6-K. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying
on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
4.8 Use of Proceeds.
The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital purposes and shall not use such
proceeds in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations.
4.9 Indemnification of
Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.9, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors,
officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person
holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents,
members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding
a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all
losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements,
court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result
of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this
Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity (including
a Purchaser Party’s status as an investor), or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by the Company or any stockholder of
the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, arising out of or relating to any of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification provided herein is intended to, and shall also cover, direct claims
brought by the Company against the Purchaser Parties; provided, however, that such indemnification shall not cover any loss, claim, damage
or liability to the extent it is finally judicially determined to be attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in any Transaction Document or any conduct by a Purchaser
Party which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any action shall be brought
against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly
notify the Company in writing, and, except with respect to direct claims brought by the Company, the Company shall have the right to
assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have
the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized
by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel
or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the applicable Purchaser Party (which may be internal
counsel), a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in
which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company
will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s
prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In addition, if any Purchaser Party takes actions to collect
amounts due under any Transaction Documents or to enforce the provisions of any Transaction Documents, then the Company shall pay the
costs incurred by such Purchaser Party for such collection, enforcement or action, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and
disbursements. The indemnification and other payment obligations required by this Section 4.9 shall be made by periodic payments
of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation, defense, collection, enforcement or action, as and when bills are received
or are incurred; provided, that if any Purchaser Party is finally judicially determined not to be entitled to indemnification or payment
under this Section 4.9, such Purchaser Party shall promptly reimburse the Company for any payments that are advanced under this
sentence. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party
against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.
4.10 Listing of Shares
and Warrant Shares. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to, if applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by
the principal Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering the Shares
and Warrant Shares, (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such Shares and Warrant Shares to be approved for listing or quotation
on such Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter, (iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such listing or quotation and
(iv) maintain the listing or quotation of such Common Shares on such Trading Market or another Trading Market. The Company agrees
to maintain the eligibility of the Common Shares for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established
clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established
clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.
4.11 Reservation of Common
Shares. On Closing, the Company shall have reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free
of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of Common Shares for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement
and Warrant Shares and Pre-Funded Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants.
4.12 Equal Treatment of
Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend
or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to
all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each
Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class
and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or
voting of Securities or otherwise.
4.13 Certain Transactions
and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it, nor any Affiliate
acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of any of the
Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.5.
Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.5, such
Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Transaction
Documents and the Disclosure Schedules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement
to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant
hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.5, (ii) no Purchaser
shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities
laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial
press release as described in Section 4.5 and (iii) no Purchaser that is not a director, officer or employee of the Company
shall have any duty of confidentiality or duty not to trade in the securities of the Company to the Company or its Subsidiaries after
the issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 4.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser
that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets
and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions
of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the
portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.
4.14 Form D; Blue
Sky Filings. The Company shall timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide
a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine
is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing under applicable
securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon
request of any Purchaser. Each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees to promptly provide to the Company or its representatives any such information
as may be reasonably requested so as to allow the Company to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.14.
4.15 Capital Changes.
Until the ninetieth (90th) day following the Effective Date upon which all of the Shares and Warrant Shares were registered for resale
or, if earlier, the date on which all of the Securities have been sold pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall not undertake a reverse
or forward stock split or reclassification of the Common Shares without the prior written consent of the Purchasers then holding a majority
in interest of the Shares, unless such capital change becomes necessary to maintain listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
4.16 Acknowledgment of
Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding Common Shares, which
dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges, subject to the terms and conditions in
the Transaction Documents, that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue
the Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim,
delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless
of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other shareholders of the Company.
4.17 Lock-Up. The
Company shall not amend, modify, waive or terminate any provision of any of the Lock-Up Agreements except to extend the term of the lock-up
period and shall enforce the provisions of each Lock-Up Agreement in accordance with its terms. If any officer or director that is a
party to a Lock-Up Agreement breaches any provision of a Lock-Up Agreement, the Company shall promptly use its best efforts to seek specific
performance of the terms of such Lock-Up Agreement.
4.18 Subsequent
Equity Sales. (a) From the date hereof until sixty (60) days after the Effective Date upon which all of the Shares and Warrant
Shares were registered for resale (the “60-Day Standstill”), neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall (i) issue,
enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any Common Shares or Common Share Equivalents or (ii) file
any registration statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, except as required to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement or a post-effective amendment required to keep a prospectus under a currently effective registration statement current. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.18 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance.
(b) From
the date hereof until the eighteen month anniversary of the Effective Date upon which all of the Shares and Warrant Shares were
registered for resale, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Shares or Common Share Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate
Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt
or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive, additional Common Shares
either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading
prices of or quotations for the Common Shares at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with
a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or
equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company
or the market for the Common Shares or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited
to, an equity line of credit or “at the market” offering, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined
price. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall
be in addition to any right to collect damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the 60-Day Standstill, this Section 4.18(b) shall
not apply in respect of any sales under an at-the-market facility effected through a registered broker dealer sales agent, including,
without limitation that certain ATM Sales Agreement, dated October 17, 2024, between the Company and the Placement Agent.
4.19 Lock-Up Agreements.
The Company will, at the Closing, deliver Lock-Up Agreements to the Placement Agent with each of the directors and executive officers
of the Company.
4.20
Québec Regulatory Compliance. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file the Québec Notice
with the AMF and obtain the acceptance by the AMF of the Québec Notice as soon as reasonably possible.
ARTICLE V.
MISCELLANEOUS
5.1 Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever
on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not been
consummated on or before five (5) Trading Days following the date hereof; provided, however, that such termination
will not affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).
5.2 Fees and Expenses.
The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser, prior to the Closing, a completed and executed copy of the Closing Statement, attached
hereto as Annex A. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and
expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the
negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees (including,
without limitation, any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company and any exercise notice
delivered by a Purchaser), stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the Purchasers.
5.3 Entire Agreement.
The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such
matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.
5.4 Notices. Any and
all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing (email shall suffice)
and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (a) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered
via facsimile or email at the facsimile number or email address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto at or prior
to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice
or communication is delivered via facsimile or email at the facsimile number or email address as set forth on the signature pages attached
hereto on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the second (2nd)
Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service or (d) upon actual receipt
by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices and communications shall be as set forth on the
signature pages attached hereto. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains
material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file or furnish,
as applicable, such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 6-K.
5.5 Amendments; Waivers.
No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of
an amendment, by the Company and the Purchasers holding at least a majority in interest of the Shares based on the initial Subscription
Amounts hereunder (or, prior to the Closing, the Company and each Purchaser) or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement
of any such waived provision is sought, provided that if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately and adversely
impacts a Purchaser (or group of Purchasers), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Purchaser (or group of Purchasers) shall
also be required. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed
to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement
hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
Any proposed amendment or waiver that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Purchaser
relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Purchasers shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected
Purchaser. Any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding upon each Purchaser and holder of Securities
and the Company.
5.6 Headings. The
headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of
the provisions hereof.
5.7 Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company
may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser (other than
by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers
any Shares, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Shares, by the provisions of
the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”
5.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries.
The Placement Agent shall be the third-party beneficiary of the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 3.1 hereof
and with respect to the representations and warranties of the Purchasers in Section 3.2 hereof. This Agreement is intended for the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision
hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.9 and this Section 5.8.
5.9 Governing Law.
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by
and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts
of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates,
directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts
sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with
any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents),
and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing
a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect
for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
If any party hereto shall commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition
to the obligations of the Company under Section 4.9, the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the
non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation
and prosecution of such Action or Proceeding.
5.10 Survival. The
representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.
5.11 Execution. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement
and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that
the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery
of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose
behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were
an original thereof.
5.12 Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal,
void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force
and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts
to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining
terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or
unenforceable.
5.13 Rescission and Withdrawal
Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction
Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not
timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole
discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without
prejudice to its future actions and rights.
5.14 Replacement of Securities.
If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause
to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution
therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft
or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party
costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
5.15 Remedies. In
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers
and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may
not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and
hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law
would be adequate.
5.16 Payment Set Aside;
Currency. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser
enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part
thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required
to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without
limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all dollar amounts referred
to in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”), and all amounts
owing under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies
(if any) shall be converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange
Rate” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Agreement, the U.S. Dollar
exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation.
5.17 Usury. To the
extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist
any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in
force, in connection with any Action or Proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to enforce any right or remedy under
any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed
and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not
exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing,
in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest
that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract
rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental
action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to
the Transaction Documents from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any
circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to indebtedness
evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness
or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Purchaser’s election.
5.18 Independent Nature
of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not
joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance
of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document,
and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association,
a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently
protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction
Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose.
Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For
reasons of administrative convenience only, each Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through
the Placement Agent Counsel. The Placement Agent Counsel does not represent any of the Purchasers and only represents the Placement Agent.
The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and
not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision
contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the
Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
5.19 Liquidated Damages.
The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing
obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding
the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall
have been canceled.
5.20 Saturdays, Sundays,
Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted
herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
5.21 Construction.
The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents
and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party
shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference
to share prices and Common Shares in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock
dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Shares that occur after the date of this Agreement.
5.22 Judgment Currency.
(a) If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Company in any court in any jurisdiction it becomes necessary
to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 5.21 referred to as the “Judgment
Currency”) an amount due in U.S. Dollars under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the conversion shall be made
at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Trading Day immediately preceding: (A) the date actual payment of the amount due, in the
case of any proceeding in the courts of New York or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion
being made on such date or (B) the date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any
other jurisdiction (the date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 5.22 being hereinafter referred
to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).
(b) If in the case of
any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 5.22(a) above, there is a change in the Exchange
Rate prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable party shall pay
such adjusted amount as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the Exchange Rate
prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of U.S. Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment
Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.
(c) Any amount due from
the Company under this provision shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts
due under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
5.23 WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY
AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY
WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

Registrable Securities that are not then registered on an effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous
basis pursuant to Rule 415. Each Registration Statement filed hereunder shall be on Form F-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible
to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form F-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form in
accordance herewith, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e)) and shall contain (unless otherwise directed by at least 85% in interest
of the Holders) substantially the “Plan of Distribution” attached hereto as Annex A and substantially the “Selling
Shareholder” section attached hereto as Annex B, with any changes required by SEC Guidance or SEC comments; provided,
however, that no Holder shall be required to be named as an “underwriter” without such Holder’s express prior
written consent. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause a Registration Statement
filed under this Agreement (including, without limitation, under Section 3(c)) to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly
as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the applicable Effectiveness Date, and shall use its reasonable best
efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date that all Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement (i) have been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale
restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information
requirement under Rule 144, as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed
and acceptable to the Transfer Agent and the affected Holders (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall telephonically
request effectiveness of a Registration Statement as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Trading Day. The Company shall immediately notify
the Holders via facsimile or by e-mail of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on the same Trading Day that the Company telephonically
confirms effectiveness with the Commission, which shall be the date requested for effectiveness of such Registration Statement. The Company
shall, by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the Trading Day after the effective date of such Registration Statement, file a final Prospectus with
the Commission as required by Rule 424. Failure to so notify the Holder within one (1) Trading Day of such notification of effectiveness
of failure to file a final Prospectus as foresaid shall be deemed an Event under Section 2(d).
(b) Notwithstanding
the registration obligations set forth in Section 2(a), if the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot,
as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company
agrees to promptly inform each of the Holders thereof and use its reasonable best efforts to file amendments to the Initial Registration
Statement as required by the Commission, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission,
on Form F-3 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering, subject to the provisions
of Section 2(e); with respect to filing on Form F-3 or other appropriate form, and subject to the provisions of Section 2(d) with respect
to the payment of liquidated damages; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment, the Company shall be obligated
to use diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the
SEC Guidance, including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09.
(c)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and subject to the payment of liquidated damages pursuant to Section 2(d), if the
Commission or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular
Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission
for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its
Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced as
follows:
| a. | First,
the Company shall reduce or eliminate any securities to be included other than Registrable
Securities; |
| b. | Second,
the Company shall reduce Registrable Securities represented by Warrant Shares (applied, in
the case that some Warrant Shares may be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based
on the total number of unregistered Warrant Shares held by such Holders); and |
| c. | Third,
the Company shall reduce Registrable Securities represented by Shares (applied, in the case
that some Shares may be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total
number of unregistered Shares held by such Holders). |
In
the event of a cutback hereunder, the Company shall give the Holder at least five (5) Trading Days prior written notice along with the
calculations as to such Holder’s allotment. In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration Statement in accordance with
the foregoing, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or
SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form F-3 or such
other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration
Statement, as amended.
(d) If: (i) the
Initial Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date (if the Company files the Initial Registration Statement without
affording the Holders the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(a) herein, the Company shall be deemed
to have not satisfied this clause (i)), or (ii) the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration of a Registration
Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, within five (5) Trading Days of the
date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that such Registration Statement will
not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, or (iii) prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement,
the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the Commission in respect of
such Registration Statement within ten (10) calendar days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the Commission that such amendment
is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared effective, or (iv) a Registration Statement registering for resale
all of the Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Date of the Initial Registration Statement,
or (v) after the effective date of a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously
effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, or the Holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize
the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities, for more than fifteen (15) consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate
of twenty five (25) calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any 12-month period (any such failure or breach
being referred to as an “Event”, and for purposes of clauses (i) and (iv), the date on which such Event occurs, and
for purpose of clause (ii) the date on which such five (5) Trading Day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iii) the date which
such ten (10) calendar day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (v) the date on which such fifteen (15) or twenty five (25)
calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “Event Date”), then, in addition to any other
rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event
Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each
Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 2.0% multiplied by the aggregate
Subscription Amount paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement with respect to Shares held by the Holder on the Event Date.
If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven days after the date payable,
the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 18% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable
law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon,
are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of
a month prior to the cure of an Event.
(e) If Form F-3
is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of
the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form F-3 as soon as
such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until
such time as a Registration Statement on Form F-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Company be permitted to name any Holder or affiliate of a Holder as any
Underwriter without the prior written consent of such Holder.
3. Registration Procedures.
In connection with the Company’s
registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:
(a) Not less than
five (5) Trading Days prior to the filing of each Registration Statement and not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to the filing of
any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any document that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
therein by reference), the Company shall (i) furnish to each Holder copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents
(other than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such Holders, and (ii) cause
its officers and directors, counsel and independent registered public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary,
in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to each Holder, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities
Act. The Company shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the
Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities shall reasonably object in good faith, provided that, the Company is notified of such
objection in writing no later than five (5) Trading Days after the Holders have been so furnished copies of a Registration Statement or
one (1) Trading Day after the Holders have been so furnished copies of any related Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto. Each
Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex C (a “Selling
Shareholder Questionnaire”) on a date that is not less than two (2) Trading Days prior to the Filing Date or by the end of the
fourth (4th) Trading Day following the date on which such Holder receives draft materials in accordance with this Section.
(b) (i) Prepare
and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus used
in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep a Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities
for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for
resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities, (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by
any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to be filed pursuant
to Rule 424, (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to a Registration
Statement or any amendment thereto and provide as promptly as reasonably possible to the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence
from and to the Commission relating to a Registration Statement (provided that, the Company shall excise any information contained therein
which would constitute material non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), and (iv) comply in all material
respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable
Securities covered by a Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with
the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus
as so supplemented.
(c) If during the
Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds 100% of the number of shares of Common Shares then registered
in a Registration Statement, then the Company shall file as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case prior to the applicable Filing
Date, an additional Registration Statement covering the resale by the Holders of not less than the number of such Registrable Securities.
(d) Notify the Holders
of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by an instruction
to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case
of (i)(A) below, not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in
writing no later than one (1) Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment
to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed, (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review”
of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement, and (C) with respect to
a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission or
any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional
information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for
that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption
from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding
for such purpose, (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration
Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated
or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration Statement,
Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (vi) of the occurrence or existence of any pending
corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of the Company,
makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus, provided,
however, that in no event shall any such notice contain any information which would constitute material, non-public information
regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(e) Use its reasonable
best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order stopping or suspending the effectiveness
of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities
for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.
(f) Furnish to each
Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each such Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial
statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference to the extent requested by such
Person, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly
after the filing of such documents with the Commission; provided, that any such item which is available on the EDGAR system (or successor
thereto) need not be furnished in physical form.
(g) Subject to the
terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of
the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment
or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3(d).
(h) Prior to any
resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling
Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the Registration or qualification) of such Registrable
Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder
reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness
Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable
Securities covered by each Registration Statement; provided, that, the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business
in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not
then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.
(i) If requested
by a Holder, cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates, or book entry statements as
applicable, representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates
shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities
to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holder may request.
(j) Upon the occurrence
of any event contemplated by Section 3(d), as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances taking into account the Company’s
good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its shareholders of the premature disclosure of such event, prepare
a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus
or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter
delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 3(d) above to
suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of
such Prospectus. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly
as is practicable. The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 3(j) to suspend the availability of a Registration
Statement and Prospectus, subject to the payment of partial liquidated damages otherwise required pursuant to Section 2(d), for a period
not to exceed 60 calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12-month period.
(k) Otherwise use
reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act, including, without limitation, Rule 172 under the Securities Act, file any final Prospectus, including any supplement or amendment
thereof, with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, promptly inform the Holders in writing if, at any time during
the Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, the Holders are
required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions as may be reasonably
necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder.
(l) The Company
shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain eligibility for use of Form F-3 (or any successor form thereto) for the registration
of the resale of Registrable Securities.
(m) The Company
may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Shares beneficially
owned by such Holder and, if required by the Commission, the natural persons thereof that have voting and dispositive control over the
shares. During any periods that the Company is unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the registration of the Registrable
Securities solely because any Holder fails to furnish such information within three Trading Days of the Company’s request, any liquidated
damages that are accruing at such time as to such Holder only shall be tolled and any Event that may otherwise occur solely because of
such delay shall be suspended as to such Holder only, until such information is delivered to the Company.
4. Registration Expenses.
All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with, this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether
or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence
shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Company’s
counsel and independent registered public accountants) (A) with respect to filings made with the Commission, (B) with respect to filings
required to be made with any Trading Market on which the Common Shares is then listed for trading, and (C) in compliance with applicable
state securities or Blue Sky laws reasonably agreed to by the Company in writing (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements

(including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery
expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such

contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection
with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of
its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred
in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder. In no event shall the Company
be responsible for any broker or similar commissions of any Holder or, except to the extent provided for in the Transaction Documents,
any legal fees or other costs of the Holders.
5. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification
by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the
officers, directors, members, partners, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities as principal as a
result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of Common Shares) investment advisors and employees (and any other Persons
with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each
of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act) and the officers, directors, members, shareholders, partners, agents and employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent
role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each such controlling Person, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses ”), as incurred, arising out of or
relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any
form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission
or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus
or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation or alleged violation
by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection
with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements
or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for
use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable
Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus
or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose) or (ii) in
the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated, defective
or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or
otherwise unavailable for use by such Holder and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(d). The Company
shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of such indemnified person and shall survive the transfer of any Registrable Securities by any of the Holders in
accordance with Section 6(h).
(b) Indemnification
by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors, members,
partners, agents and employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding
a lack of such title or any other title) of each of them, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, shareholders, partners and employees (and any
other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title)
of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent
arising out of or based solely upon: any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus,
or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission of a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement
or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company expressly for inclusion in such Registration
Statement or such Prospectus or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such information relates to such Holder’s information
provided in the Selling Shareholder Questionnaire or the proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and
expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved
Annex A hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of a selling
Holder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim
relating to this Section 5 and the amount of any damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement
or omission) received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to
such indemnification obligation.
(c) Conduct of
Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an
“Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying
Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment
of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection
with defense thereof; provided, that, the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party
of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially
and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
An Indemnified Party
shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing
to pay such fees and expenses, (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including
any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably
believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying
Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at
the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable
fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall
not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of
any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release
of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
Subject to the terms
of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred
in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid
to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that, the
Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions
for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal
or further review) not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(d) Contribution.
If the indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party
harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions,
statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such
Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including
any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by,
or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party
as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’
or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified
for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.
The parties hereto
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or
by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a Holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount
of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5 and the amount of any
damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission)
received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.
The indemnity and
contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified
Parties.
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Each of the Company and each Holder agrees that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(b) No Piggyback on Registrations;
Prohibition on Filing Other Registration Statements. Neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in
such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in any Registration Statements other than the Registrable Securities.
The Company shall not file any other registration statements until sixty (60) days following the date that all Registrable Securities
are registered pursuant to a Registration Statement that is declared effective by the Commission.
(c) [Reserved]
(d) Discontinued Disposition.
By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of
any event of the kind described in Section 3(d)(iii) through (vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable
Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use
of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts
to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company agrees and acknowledges that any periods
during which the Holder is required to discontinue the disposition of the Registrable Securities hereunder shall be subject to the provisions
of Section 2(d).
(e) Piggy-Back Registrations.
If, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities
and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account
or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form F-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated
under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition
of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit
plans, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen days after the date
of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement
all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6(e) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule
144 (without volume restrictions or current public information requirements) promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities
Act or that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement that is available for resales or other dispositions by such Holder.
(f) Amendments and Waivers.
The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers
or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and
Holders of a 50.1% or more of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (for purposes of clarification, this includes any Registrable
Securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of any Security), provided that, if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately
and adversely impacts a Holder (or group of Holders), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Holder (or group of Holders) shall
be required. If a Registration Statement does not register all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a waiver or amendment done in
compliance with the previous sentence, then the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each Holder shall be reduced pro
rata among all Holders and each Holder shall have the right to designate which of its Registrable Securities shall be omitted from such
Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter
that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder or some Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other
Holders may be given only by such Holder or Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided,
however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions
of the first sentence of this Section 6(f). No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or
modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.
(g) Notices. Any and
all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in the
Purchase Agreement.
(h) Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall
inure to the benefit of each Holder. The Company may not assign (except by merger) its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of all of the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Each Holder may assign their respective rights hereunder
in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under Section 5.8 of the Purchase Agreement.
(i) No Inconsistent Agreements.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing
the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Neither the Company nor any of
its Subsidiaries has previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any
Person that have not been satisfied in full.
(j) Execution and Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement
and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that
both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery
of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose
behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original
thereof.
(k) Governing Law.
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance
with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(l) Cumulative Remedies.
The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
(m) Severability. If
any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void
or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect
and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find
and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant
or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms,
provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
(n) Headings. The headings
in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of the Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of
the provisions hereof.
(o) Independent Nature
of Holders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations
of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder
hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder
pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind
of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to
such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Holders
are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or transactions.
Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement,
and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of
a single agreement with respect to the obligations of the Company contained was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or
decision of any Holder, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by
any Holder. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Holder,
solely, and not between the Company and the Holders collectively and not between and among Holders.

Annex A
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each Selling Shareholder (the
“Selling Shareholders”) of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from
time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal Trading Market or
any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be
at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
|
· |
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
|
|
|
|
· |
block trades in which the broker-dealer
will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
|
|
|
|
· |
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
|
|
|
|
· |
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
|
|
|
|
· |
privately negotiated transactions; |
|
|
|
|
· |
settlement of short sales; |
|
|
|
|
· |
in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Shareholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security; |
|
|
|
|
· |
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
|
|
|
|
· |
a combination of any such methods of sale; or |
|
|
|
|
· |
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The Selling Shareholders may
also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by
the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts
from the Selling Shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts
to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a
customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in
compliance with FINRA IM-2121.
In connection with the sale
of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial
institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling
Shareholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities
to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer
or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution
may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The Selling Shareholders and
any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning
of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any
profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities
Act. Each Selling Shareholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly
or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
The Company is required to
pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify
the Selling Shareholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The
Company shall not be responsible for any of the Selling Shareholders’ selling costs incurred pursuant to any available method provided
hereunder for selling securities.
We agreed to keep this prospectus
effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Shareholders without registration and
without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance
with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities
have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities
will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in
certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable
state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and
regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market
making activities with respect to the common shares for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement
of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common shares by the Selling
Shareholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Shareholders and have informed them
of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule
172 under the Securities Act).
Annex B
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
The Common Shares being offered
by the selling shareholders are those previously issued to the selling shareholders. For additional information regarding the issuances
of those shares of common shares, see “Private Placement of Common Shares” above. We are registering the shares of common
shares in order to permit the selling shareholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the Company’s
securities, the selling shareholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
The table below lists the
selling shareholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the Common Shares by each of the selling shareholders.
The second column lists the total number of Common Shares beneficially owned by each selling shareholder, based on its ownership of the
Common Shares, as of December 16, 2024.
The third column lists the
Common Shares being offered by this prospectus by the selling shareholders.
In accordance with the terms
of a registration rights agreement with the selling shareholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum of (i) the number
of Common Shares issued to the selling shareholders in the “Private Placement of Common Shares (and/or Pre-Funded Warrants) and
Warrants” described above and (ii) the maximum number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the related Pre-Funded Warrants
and Warrants, determined as if the outstanding Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants were exercised in full as of the trading day immediately
preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the Commission, each as of the trading day immediately preceding
the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the registration right agreement, without regard to
any limitations on the exercise of the warrants. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling shareholders
pursuant to this prospectus.
Under the terms of the, Pre-Funded
Warrants, Warrants and other warrants held by selling shareholders, a selling shareholder may not exercise any such warrants to the extent
such exercise would cause such selling shareholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number
of Common Shares which would exceed 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of our then outstanding Common Shares following such exercise, excluding
for purposes of such determination Common Shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants which have not been exercised. The number of
shares in the second and fourth columns do not reflect this limitation. The selling shareholders may sell all, some or none of their shares
in this offering. See "Plan of Distribution."

transaction of any kind (the “Tail Financing”) to the extent that such financing or capital is provided to the Company
by the Investors, if such Tail Financing is consummated at any time within the 12-month period following the Closing.

(e) The Company is and will
be solely responsible for the contents of any and all written or oral communications provided to the Investors regarding the Offering
or the Securities; and the Company recognizes that the Placement Agent, in acting pursuant to this Agreement, will be using information
provided by the Company and its agents and representatives and the Placement Agent assumes no responsibility for, and may rely, without

Section 2. Representations, Warranties and
Agreements of the Company.
The Company hereby represents,
warrants and covenants to the Placement Agent as of the date hereof, and as of the date of the Closing, as follows, except as otherwise
disclosed in the Securities Purchase Agreement or the schedules or exhibits thereto:
(a) Compliance with Applicable
Regulations. The Offering Documents have been prepared by the Company in conformity with all applicable laws and in compliance with
Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D and the requirements of all other rules and regulations of the Commission
relating to offerings of the type contemplated by the Offering and the applicable securities laws and the rules and regulations of those
jurisdictions wherein the Placement Agent notifies the Company that the Securities are to be offered and sold. The Securities will be
offered and sold to the Investors in the Offering pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in
reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D as a transaction not involving a public offering and
the requirements of any other applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and the respective rules and regulations thereunder
in those United States jurisdictions in which the Placement Agent notifies the Company that the Securities are being offered for sale.
None of the Company, its affiliates, or any person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Placement Agent, its affiliates or any
person acting on its behalf, in respect of which no representation is made) has taken nor will it take any action that conflicts with
the conditions and requirements of, or that would make unavailable with respect to the Offering, the exemption(s) from registration available
pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D, or knows of any reason why any such exemption would
be otherwise unavailable to it. None of the Company, its predecessors or affiliates has been subject to any order, judgment or decree
of any court of competent jurisdiction temporarily, preliminarily or permanently enjoining such person for failing to comply with Rule
503 of Regulation D. The Company has not, for a period of six months prior to the commencement of the offer and sale of the Securities
sold, offered for sale or solicited any offer to buy any of its securities in a manner that would cause the exemption from registration
set forth in Rule 506 of Regulation D to become unavailable with respect to the offer and sale of the Securities pursuant to the Offering
Documents.
(b) No Material Misstatements
or Omissions. The SEC Documents (as defined below) do not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. None of the statements, documents, certificates or other items made, prepared or supplied by the Company with respect
to the Offering and the other transactions contemplated by the Offering Documents contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits
to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. There is no fact which the Company has not disclosed in the SEC Documents or the Offering Documents and of which the Company
is aware that materially adversely affects or that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the
Company to fully and timely perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Offering Documents (a “Material Adverse
Effect”).
(c) Offering Materials.
The Company made available to the Placement Agent copies of its most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC and any other
SEC Documents filed subsequent to the end of the fiscal period covered thereby and the Offering Documents (collectively, the “Disclosure
Package”). The Company has not distributed and will not distribute, prior to the Closing, any materials in connection with the
Offering other than the Disclosure Package.
(d) Incorporation and SEC
Filings. The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the Province
of Quebec. The Company has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, proxy statements, statements and other documents required to be
filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder (the “Exchange Act”) (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof,
including without limitation, Reports on Form 6-K filed by the Company with the Commission), and all exhibits and appendices included
therein, and financial statements, notes and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter referred
to as the “SEC Documents”). All such SEC Documents, as at their respective filing dates, complied in all material respects
with the requirements of the Exchange Act. There has been no action instigated or, to our knowledge, threatened or otherwise commenced
by any applicable regulatory body alleging that, the SEC Documents failed to so comply.
(e) Corporate Authority.
The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to conduct its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted
as described in the Disclosure Package, has all the necessary and requisite documents and approvals from any applicable governmental authorities,
has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Offering
Documents, to issue, sell and deliver the Securities, and to make the representations in this Agreement and the other Offering Documents
accurate and not misleading. Prior to the Closing, this Agreement and each of the other Offering Documents will have been duly authorized
by all necessary action of the Company. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered and constitutes and each of the
other Offering Documents, upon due execution and delivery, will constitute, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable
against the Company in accordance with their respective terms (i) except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect related to laws affecting creditors’ rights generally,
including the effect of statutory and other laws regarding fraudulent conveyances and preferential transfers, and except that no representation
is made herein regarding the enforceability of the Company’s obligations to provide indemnification and contribution remedies under
the securities laws and (ii) subject to the limitations imposed by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability
is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).
(f) Authorization of Securities.
The Securities will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable upon payment of the purchase price therefor to the
Company in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, and will have the rights, preferences and priorities set forth
in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (as the same may be amended or restated from time to time, collectively, the “Charter”).
The Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants have been duly authorized and constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company to issue
the Warrant Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares upon payment of the exercise price therefor and are enforceable against the Company
in accordance with their terms. The Warrant Shares and Pre-Funded warrant Shares have been duly reserved for issuance and, when issued
will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable upon payment of the purchase price therefor to the Company in accordance
with the terms of the Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants, as the case may be. The holders of Securities will not be subject to personal liability
solely by reason of being such holders.
(g) No Conflicts. None
of the execution and delivery of or performance by the Company under this Agreement or any of the other Offering Documents or the consummation
of the transactions herein or therein contemplated conflicts with or violates, or will result in the creation or imposition of, any lien,
charge or other encumbrance upon any of the assets of the Company under (i) any agreement or other instrument to which the Company is
a party or by which the Company or its assets may be bound, (ii) any term of the Charter or Bylaws of the Company, or (iii) any license,
permit, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its assets, except in the case of (i)
or (iii) above, as disclosed in the Securities Purchase Agreement or that would not, or could not reasonably be expected to, have
a Material Adverse Effect.
(h) Consents. The Company
is not required to obtain any consent from, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with (other than (i) a Form
D with the SEC and any other filings as may be required by any state securities agencies, (ii) such as may be required under applicable
state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, (iii) the acceptance by the Autorité des marchés financiers (“AMF”)
of the Province of Québec of the notice (the “Québec Notice”) required in order to issue the Securities
outside of the Province of Québec, and (iv) a Listing of Additional Shares filing with the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., any court,
governmental agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any other person in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any
of its obligations under, or contemplated by, this Agreement or any of the other Offering Documents, in each case, in accordance with
the terms hereof or thereof. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file the Québec Notice with the AMF and obtain
the acceptance by the AMF of the Québec Notice as soon as reasonably possible. All consents, authorizations, orders, filings and
registrations which the Company is required to obtain at or prior to the Closing shall have been obtained or effected on or prior to the
Closing, and the Company is not aware of any facts or circumstances which might prevent the Company from obtaining or effecting any of
the registration, application or filings contemplated by this Agreement, or the other Offering Documents.
(i) Litigation. Except
as set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, there is no action, suit, claim, proceeding, hearing, inquiry or investigation before
or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened
against or affecting the Company, any securities of the Company or any of the Company’s officers or directors (in their capacity
as such) which is outside of the ordinary course of business or individually or in the aggregate material to the Company or, if determined
adversely to the Company or such officer or director, could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Offering or the enforceability
of this Agreement or the other Offering Documents.

for the Placement Agent, there is no broker, finder or other party that is entitled to receive from the Company any brokerage or finder’s
fee or other fee or commission as a result of the Offering.

Under the Securities Act. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Investors contained in the Securities
Purchase Agreement and the compliance of such parties with the agreements set forth therein, it is not necessary, in connection with the
issuance and sale of the Securities under the Offering Documents, to register the such offerings, issuances and sales under the Securities
Act or any state securities or “Blue Sky” laws.

Other Fees. There are no transfer taxes or other similar fees or charges under United States law or the laws of any state or any political

Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates have engaged, or will engage, directly or indirectly in any form of “general solicitation”
or “general advertising” in connection with the Offering of the Securities (as those terms are used in Regulation D) under
the Securities Act or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act; and the Company
has not entered, and will not enter, into any arrangement or agreement with respect to the distribution of the Securities, except for
the Offering Documents.
(n) No Integration. Neither
the Company nor any of its affiliates has directly or indirectly sold, offered for sale, solicited offers to buy or otherwise negotiated

respects, with the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (signed into law October 26, 2001).

to any third party finder in connection with the Offering or the introduction of the Company to the Placement Agent. The Company represents
and warrants to the Placement Agent that the entry into this Agreement or any other action of the Company in connection with the Offering
will not violate any agreement between the Company and any other broker-dealer.
(q) No Disqualification

and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date or time, as applicable).
(b) Blue Sky Compliance.
The Company will cooperate with the Placement Agent and the Investors in endeavoring to qualify the Securities for sale under the securities
or “Blue Sky” laws of such jurisdictions (United States and foreign) as the Placement Agent and the Investors may reasonably
request and will make such applications, file such documents, pay such fees and furnish such information as may be reasonably required
for that purpose, provided the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a general consent to service
of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or required to file such a consent. The Company will, from time to time,
prepare and file such statements, reports and other documents as are or may be required to continue such qualifications in effect for
so long a period as the Placement Agent may reasonably request with respect to the Offering. All such filings under applicable state securities
or “Blue Sky” laws related to this Offering shall be prepared by the Company’s counsel at the Company’s expense,

to the Disclosure Package. If, at any time prior to the Closing, any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it
is necessary to amend or supplement the information or documents, or other information in the Disclosure Package in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Disclosure Package is delivered to an Investor, not misleading, or if it
is otherwise necessary to amend or supplement any portion of the Disclosure Package to comply with the Securities Act or any other applicable
law, then the Company agrees to promptly prepare and furnish at its own expense to the Placement Agent, amendments or supplements to the
Disclosure Package so that the statements therein as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Disclosure
Package is delivered to an Investor, be misleading or so that the Disclosure Package, as amended or supplemented, will comply with the
Securities Act and other applicable law. Neither the Placement Agent’s consent to, nor delivery of, any such amendment or supplement
shall constitute a waiver of any of the Company’s obligations under this Section 6(c). The Company agrees to furnish to the
Placement Agent and counsel to the Placement Agent, without charge, as soon as available, as many copies of any amendments and supplements
to the Disclosure Package as the Placement Agent or its counsel may request. The Company shall not at any time before the Closing prepare

thereof, the Company shall advise the Placement Agent and its counsel, and confirm the advice in writing, of any order preventing or suspending
the use of the Disclosure Package, or the suspension of or exemption for such qualification or registration thereof for offering in any
jurisdiction, or of the institution or threatened institution of any proceedings for any of such purposes, and the Company will use its
reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order and, if issued, to obtain as soon as reasonably possible the lifting
thereof.
(d) Marketing. The
Company shall participate, and cause its officers and representatives to participate, in the Offering as reasonably requested by the Placement
Agent, including in the marketing of the Securities and meeting with prospective Investors, and afford prospective Investors the opportunity

The Company shall apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities sold by it in the manner to be described under the caption “Use
of Proceeds” in the Offering Documents.
(f) Legends. The Company
shall place a legend, upon conversion or exercise, as applicable, on certificates representing the Securities, that the offering, issuance,
sale or resale of the securities evidenced thereby has not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities or
“Blue Sky” laws, setting forth or referring to the applicable restrictions on transferability and sale of such securities
under the Securities Act and applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws.
(g) No Requirement to Register
as an Investment Company. The Company shall not invest, or otherwise use the proceeds received by the Company from its sale of the
Securities in such a manner as would require the Company to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
(h) Press Releases.
Prior to the earlier of the Closing or the Termination Date and except as otherwise requirement by law or regulation (including the rules
of the Commission), the Company shall not issue any press release or other communication directly or indirectly or hold any press conference
with respect to the Company, its condition, financial or otherwise, or earnings, business affairs or business prospects, without the prior
written consent of the Placement Agent, which consent may be provided to the Company via e-mail. If practical, the Company shall afford
the Placement Agent and its counsel with the opportunity to review and comment upon the form and substance of, and shall give reasonable
consideration to all such comments from the Placement Agent and its counsel on, the initial press release, Commission filing or any other
public disclosure by or on behalf of the Company relating to the Offering, the Securities, the Investors, the Placement Agent or any aspect
of the Offering Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, not less than 24 hours prior to the issuance, filing or public disclosure
thereof.
(i) Compliance with Rule
502(d). The Company will exercise reasonable care to assure that no Investor is an “underwriter” within the meaning of
Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act and, without limiting the foregoing, that such purchases will comply with Rule 502(d) under the
Securities Act.
(j) Conduct of Business.

for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and all damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses

of action, suit, proceeding or investigation), in each case as incurred (collectively, a “Claim”), as a result of,
or arising out of, or relating to (i) any misrepresentation, inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company
or any Subsidiary in this Agreement or in any of the other Offering Documents, (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation
of the Company or any Subsidiary contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Offering Documents, (iii) the execution, delivery,

or as a party (or agent or attorney of such party) to this Agreement or any of the other Offering Documents, (vii) any act or failure
to act by any Placement Agent Indemnified Party in connection with, or relating in any manner to, the Securities, the Offering or any
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Offering Documents, provided that the Company shall not be liable
under this clause (vii) to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final, non-appealable judgment
that such claim, action, cause of action, suit, proceeding, investigation, damage, loss, liability or expense resulted from the gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Placement Agent Indemnified Party; and to reimburse such Placement Agent Indemnified
Party for any and all expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by such Placement Agent Indemnified
Party) incurred by such Placement Agent Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying
any such claim, action, cause of action, suit, proceeding, investigation, damage, loss, liability or expense. To the extent that the foregoing
undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction
of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law as provided in Section 8(d).
(b) Notifications and Other
Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by a Placement Agent Indemnified Party under this Section 8 of notice of
the commencement of any action, such Placement Agent Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company
under this Section 8, notify the Company in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the Company will
not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any Placement Agent Indemnified Party for contribution to the extent it is not prejudiced
as a proximate result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against any Placement Agent Indemnified Party and the such Placement
Agent Indemnified Party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from the Company, the Company shall assume the defense thereof with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Placement Agent Indemnified Party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action
include both the Placement Agent Indemnified Party and the Company, and the Placement Agent Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded
on the advice of its counsel that a conflict may arise between the positions of the Company and the Placement Agent Indemnified Party
in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other Placement Agent Indemnified
Parties that are different from or additional to those available to the Company, such Placement Agent Indemnified Party or Placement Agent
Indemnified Parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the
defense of such action on behalf of such Placement Agent Indemnified Party or Placement Agent Indemnified Parties. Upon receipt of notice
from the Company to the Placement Agent Indemnified Party of the Company’s assumption the defense of such action and approval by
such Placement Agent Indemnified Party of counsel, the Company will not be liable to such Placement Agent Indemnified Party under this
Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Placement Agent Indemnified Party in connection with the
defense thereof unless: (i) the Placement Agent Indemnified Party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso
to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the Company shall not be liable for the expenses of more than
one separate counsel (together with local counsel), approved by the Company), representing the Placement Agent Indemnified Parties who
are parties to such action; (ii) the Company shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the Placement Agent Indemnified Party to
represent the Placement Agent Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action; or (iii) the Company
has authorized the employment of counsel for the Placement Agent Indemnified Party at the expense of the Company, in each of which cases
the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.
(c) Settlements. The
Company shall not be liable under this Section 8 for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for
the plaintiff, the Company agrees to indemnify the applicable Placement Agent Indemnified Party or Placement Agent Indemnified Parties
against any claim, action, cause of action, suit, proceeding, investigation, damage, loss, liability or expense by reason of such settlement
or judgment. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent Indemnified Party, effect any settlement,
compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any Placement
Agent Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such Placement Agent Indemnified
Party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes: (i) an unconditional release of such Placement Agent Indemnified Party
from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding; and (ii) does not include a statement as
to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Placement Agent Indemnified Party.
(d) Contribution. If
the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless a Placement Agent Indemnified
Party under Section 8(a) above in respect of any claim, action, cause of action, suit, proceeding, investigation, damage, loss,
liability or expense, then the Company shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such Placement Agent Indemnified Party
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and such Placement Agent
Indemnified Party, on the other, from the Offering. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not
permitted by applicable law then the Company shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such Placement Agent Indemnified Party
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one
hand, and such Placement Agent Indemnified Party, on the other, in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such action or omission.
The Company and Placement
Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this
Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by a Placement Agent Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such Placement Agent Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, action,
cause of action, suit, proceeding or investigation. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d): (i) the Placement Agent
shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount of the Cash Fee actually received by Placement Agent pursuant to
this Agreement; and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e) Timing of Any Payments
of Indemnification. Any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses for which a Placement Agent Indemnified Party is entitled
to indemnification or contribution under this Section 8 shall be paid by the Company to the Placement Agent Indemnified Party as
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are incurred, but in all cases, no later than fifteen (15) days of invoice to the
Company.
(f) Acknowledgements of
Parties. The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge that they are sophisticated business persons who were represented by counsel
during the negotiations regarding the provisions hereof including, without limitation, the provisions of this Section 8, and are
fully informed regarding said provisions. They further acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 8 fairly allocate the risks
in light of the ability of the parties to investigate the Company and its business in order to assure that adequate disclosure is made
in the Disclosure Package.
Section 9. Representations and Indemnities
to Survive Delivery.
The respective indemnities,
agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries set forth in or made pursuant to
this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of: (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Placement Agent
Indemnified Party or any of their respective representatives or agents; (ii) acceptance of any Securities and payment therefor; and (iii)
any termination of this Agreement or expiration of the Offering Period. A successor to any Placement Agent Indemnified Party shall be
entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in Section 8.
Section 10. Notices.
All communications hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be mailed (registered or certified mail, return receipt requested), personally delivered or sent by electronic
mail transmission and confirmed and shall be deemed given when so delivered and confirmed or if mailed, two (2) days after such mailing
