calculated pursuant to Section 2.1 below, upon the occurrence of the Distribution Event (as
hereinafter defined) subject to adjustment and the terms and conditions set forth herein.
1.2 From and after the Grant Date to the date of payment upon or following the
occurrence of the Distribution Event, the RSU shall be documented in a separate notional
account maintained for the Grantee on the books and records of the Company. During such
period, the RSU shall constitute general assets of the Company, and the Grantee shall have
the status, with respect to such RSU, of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. The
Grantee understands, acknowledges and agrees that it shall not be receiving stock certificates
with respect to the Common Stock underlying the RSU (the RSU Shares) until the date of

US$7,000,000 divided by the issue price per Common Stock (converted to USD) under a

and (ii) the number of Common Stock required for the Grantee to maintain its current voting
power in the Company of 18.43% on a partially diluted basis (which factors the issued and
outstanding multiple voting securities of the Company). Accordingly, the Grantee will not
increase its voting position in the Company upon or following the occurrence of the

2.2 For purposes of this Section 2, the term Financing means the offer and sale
by the Company of either Common Stock and/or securities convertible into Common Stock
for cash proceeds within six months after the Grant Date at an offering price of less than
C$0.125 per Common Stock.
2.3 For the avoidance of doubt, if no Financing occurs within six months after the
Grant Date, the Grantee will forfeit the RSU and no RSU Shares shall be issued to the Grantee.
3. Rights as Shareholder; Dividend Equivalents.
3.1 The Grantee shall not have any rights of a shareholder with respect to the RSU
Shares until the delivery thereof upon or following the occurrence of the Distribution Event.
3.2 Upon and following the settlement of the RSU, the Grantee shall be the record
owner of the RSU Shares unless and until such RSU Shares are sold or otherwise disposed of,
and as record owner shall be entitled to all rights of a shareholder of the Company holding
shares of Common Stock.
3.3 No Dividend Equivalents will accrue on, or be payable with respect to, the RSU
Shares. For purposes of this Agreement, Dividend Equivalents means cash amounts
equivalent to dividends paid by the Company on shares of Common Stock, including, without
limitation, dividends payable in the form of cash, Common Stock or other equity securities of
the Company.
4. Time and Form of Payment.
4.1 Upon consummation of any one or more Financing or Financings, the Company
shall: (i) issue and deliver to the Grantee the number of RSU Shares; and (ii) enter the
Grantees name on the books and records of the Company as the shareholder of record with
respect to the RSU Shares delivered to the Grantee, or issue stock certificates to the Grant for
such RSU Shares the Distribution Event).
4.2 Delivery of the RSU Shares shall be made on a single day (i.e., in a lump sum)
on or after the date of the Distribution Event and no later than December 31st of the calendar
year that includes the date of the Distribution Event (or if later, by the fifteenth (15th) day of
the third calendar month following the date of the Distribution Event); provided, however,
that the exact date of delivery of the shares of Common Stock shall be determined by the
Company in its reasonable discretion.
4.3 The RSU will only be settled in the form of Common Stock. Fractional shares
of Common Stock shall not be issuable hereunder and any fraction will be rounded down to
the nearest whole number of Common Stock; provided, however, that the treatment of
fractional shares that result from tax withholding pursuant to Section 6 shall be governed by
that Section.
5. Capitalization Events. In the event of a Capitalization Event, the Board shall
appropriately and proportionately adjust the number of RSU Shares underlying an RSU in order
DocuSign Envelope ID: 281C2C60-9121-45FE-918A-4F484326D1A1
3
to prevent dilution or enlargement of the economic value of the RSU solely on account of the
Capitalization Event. For purposes of this Agreement, Capitalization Event means any change
that is made in, or other events that occur with respect to, the Common Stock after the Grant Date
on or prior to delivery of the shares of the RSU Shares pursuant to Section 4 hereof, without the
receipt of consideration by the Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, large
nonrecurring cash dividend, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of
shares, change in corporate structure, or any similar equity restructuring transaction within the
meaning of Accounting Standards Codification 718).
6. Tax Liability and Withholding.
6.1 The Company shall have the right to deduct from any amounts payable to the
Grantee, the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect of the RSU Shares and to
take all such other action as the Board deems necessary to satisfy all obligations for the
payment of such withholding taxes. The Board may permit the Grantee to satisfy any federal,
state or local tax withholding obligation by authorizing the Company to withhold Common
Stock from the Common Stock otherwise issuable or deliverable to the Grantee as a result of
the delivery of the RSU Shares pursuant to Section 6 hereof; provided, however, that no shares
of Common Stock shall be withheld with a value exceeding the maximum amount of tax
required to be withheld by law.
6.2 Notwithstanding any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income
tax, or other tax-related withholding (collectively, Tax-Related Items), the ultimate
liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantees responsibility and the
Company makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-
Related Items in connection with the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSU or the subsequent
sale of any shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees to
reasonably cooperate with the Grantee to minimize the Grantees liability for income, stamp,
transfer or other taxes; provided that the Company shall not be requir ed to incur any thirdparty
expense or adversely impact its tax position in connection with such cooperation.
7. Compliance with Law. The issuance and transfer of the RSU and the shares of
Common Stock shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Grantee with all applicable
requirements of federal, provincial and state securities laws and with all applicable requirements
of any stock exchange on which the Company's shares of Common Stock may be listed. No shares
of Common Stock shall be issued or transferred unless and until any then applicable requirements
of state, federal, provincial and applicable foreign laws and regulatory agencies have been fully
complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel.
8. Grantee Representation. The Grantee is and will be on the date of grant of the RSU
and RSU Shares resident in the United States and an accredited investor within the meaning of
Rule 501(a) promulgated under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder (the Securities Act). The Grantee is acquiring the RSU
and RSU Shares solely for their own account for investment purposes and not with a view to, or
for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof. The Grantee acknowledges that the
DocuSign Envelope ID: 281C2C60-9121-45FE-918A-4F484326D1A1

RSU and RSU Shares are not registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and
that the RSU and RSU Shares may not be transferred or sold except pursuant to the registration
provisions of the Securities Act or pursuant to an applicable exemption therefrom or Canadian
Securities Laws (as defined below) or and subject to state securities laws and regulations, as
applicable. The Grantee is able to bear the economic risk of holding the RSU and RSU Shares for
an indefinite period (including total loss of his investment), and has sufficient knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risk
of their investment. By executing this Agreement, the Grantee further represents that they do not
presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell,
contribute, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to
any of the RSU and RSU Shares. The Grantee consents: (i) to the disclosure of certain information
to the CSE as required to be included in Form 9 or to applicable Canadian securities authorities
including pursuant to the filing of an exempt distribution report; and (ii) to the collection, use and
disclosure of their information by the CSE or the applicable securities commission including in
the manner and for the purposes described in Appendix A of Form 9 or as otherwise identified by
the CSE or applicable securities commissions, from time to time.
Canadian Securities Laws means, collectively, all applicable securities laws of each Province
of Canada and the respective rules and regulations under such laws together with applicable
published policy statements, notices, orders, blanket rulings and other regulatory instruments of
the securities regulatory authorities in such jurisdiction, including the rules and policies of the
CSE, in each case as now in effect and as they may be promulgated or amended from time to time.
9. Restricted Securities. The Grantee understands that the RSU and RSU Shares have not
been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or qualified by a prospectus under
applicable Canadian Securities Laws and will be issued pursuant to a specific exemption from the
registration or prospectus requirements of applicable law which depends upon, among other things,
the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Grantees representations as
expressed herein.
The Grantee understand that the RSU and RSU Shares are restricted securities under applicable
U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Grantee must hold the
RSU and RSU Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and
qualification requirements is available. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company is under no
obligation to register or qualify RSU and RSU Shares for resale in the United States. The Grantee
further acknowledge that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be
conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale and
the holding period for the RSU and RSU Shares, and which requirements the Company is under
no obligation and may not be able to satisfy. The Grantee acknowledges that the following legend
will appear on the RSU and RSU Shares at issuance:

next preceding Business Day (the Exercise Period), the Holder of this Warrant may exercise this Warrant for all or
any part of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder (subject to adjustment as provided herein).
3. Exercise of Warrant.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in
part by the Holder at any time, or from time to time, on or after the Issuance Date, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery
of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the Exercise Notice), of the Holders election to
exercise this Warrant, and (ii) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price
multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the Aggregate Exercise
Price) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the
original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect
to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the Warrant and the Company
shall promptly be required to issue a new Warrant (the Replacement Warrant) evidencing the right to purchase the
remaining number of Warrant Shares. Until the issuance of the Replacement Warrant by the Company, the then
outstanding Warrant shall remain in full force and effect and evidence the right to purchase the remaining number of
Warrant Shares. Upon receipt of the Replacement Warrant, the Holder hereby agrees to surrender to the Company
for cancellation the original Warrant to the extent the original Warrant is the Holders possession and control or at
the request of the Company to execute an instrument of cancellation in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
the Company and Holder.
(b) No fractional Warrant Shares or scrip representing fractional Warrant Shares shall be
issued upon exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a Warrant Shares that the Holder would otherwise be
entitled to purchase upon exercise, the Company shall round up to the next whole Warrant Share.
(c) During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out
of its authorized but unissued Shares or other securities constituting Warrant Shares, solely for the purpose of
issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant. The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company
may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.
4. Effect of Certain Events on Warrant Shares. In order to prevent dilution of the rights granted under
this Warrant and to grant the Holder certain additional rights, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 4.
(a) Adjustment for Share Splits and Combinations. If the Company at any time after the
Issuance Date effects a subdivision (by any Share split, dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) of its outstanding
Shares into a greater number of Shares (each such occurrence a Subdivision), the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such Subdivision shall be proportionately decreased and the number of Warrant Shares
obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time after the
Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse Share split or otherwise) its outstanding Shares (each such
occurrence a Combination), the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Combination shall be
proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
proportionately decreased. In either such event, the Exercise Price shall be increased or decreased, as the case may
be, by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number
of Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such Subdivision or Combination, and (ii) the
denominator of which shall be the total number of Shares issued and outstanding immediately after the time of such
Subdivision or Combination. Any adjustment under this Section 4(a) shall become effective at the close of business
on the date the Subdivision or Combination becomes effective.

51558254.5
(b) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Company at any time after the
Issuance Date makes or issues a dividend or other distribution payable in Shares (each such occurrence a
Distribution), the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Distribution shall be decreased as of the close
of business on the record date, by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction (i) the numerator of
which shall be the total number of Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such Distribution,
and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of Shares issued and outstanding immediately after the
time of such Distribution.
(c) Adjustment in Number of Warrant Shares. When any adjustment is required to be made
in the Exercise Price pursuant to Sections 4(a) or 4(b), the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise
of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by (ii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately after
such adjustment.
(d) Special Distributions. If the Company at any time after the Issuance Date makes or
issues, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Shares entitled to receive, a dividend or other
distribution payable in evidences of indebtedness, any other securities of the Company, cash, property or other assets
(each such occurrence a Special Distribution), then provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon
exercise hereof, in addition to the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder, the Special Distribution to which
the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Warrant been exercised into Shares as of the record date of
such Special Distribution and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such Special Distribution
to and including the Exercise Date, retained any such Special Distribution, giving application to all adjustments
called for during such period under this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the Holder.
(e) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, there occurs
any Fundamental Transaction (including, without limitation, one pursuant to which holders of Shares are entitled to
receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for Shares), then the Holder shall have the right
thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of the Warrant Shares, the same amount and kind of
securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights)
that the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction had
this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the record date for such Fundamental Transaction, as adjusted in
accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor
Entity, if any, 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. The
provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and any
adjustment under this Section 4(e) shall be without duplication for any adjustment or distribution made under
Section 4.
(f) Other Events. If any event not expressly provided for by this Section 4 occurs that would
adversely affect the Holders rights (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom
stock share rights or other rights with equity features), then the Companys Board shall make an appropriate
adjustment in the Exercise Price reasonably acceptable to Holder and so as to protect the Holders rights; provided
that no such adjustment shall increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares obtainable as
otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 4.
5. Registration and Reissuance of Warrant.
(a) Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant on the books of the
Company 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. The Company shall also register any transfer, exchange, reissuance or
cancellation of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register.

in full or in part without the consent of the Company, and in accordance with applicable securities laws to one or
more new holders (each a New Holder). Subject to applicable securities laws, if this Warrant is to be transferred,
the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company together with an assignment form, in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B, and all applicable transfer taxes, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon

Holder to any New Holder and, if less than the total number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being
transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 5(e)) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the
number of Warrant Shares not being transferred.
(c) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft
or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form or the provision
of reasonable security by the Holder to the Company and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation

5(e)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant.

next preceding Business Day (the Exercise Period), the Holder of this Warrant may exercise this Warrant for all or
any part of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder (subject to adjustment as provided herein).
3. Exercise of Warrant.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in
part by the Holder at any time, or from time to time, on or after the Issuance Date, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery
of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the Exercise Notice), of the Holders election to
exercise this Warrant, and (ii) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price
multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the Aggregate Exercise
Price) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the
original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect
to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the Warrant and the Company
shall promptly be required to issue a new Warrant (the Replacement Warrant) evidencing the right to purchase the
remaining number of Warrant Shares. Until the issuance of the Replacement Warrant by the Company, the then
outstanding Warrant shall remain in full force and effect and evidence the right to purchase the remaining number of
Warrant Shares. Upon receipt of the Replacement Warrant, the Holder hereby agrees to surrender to the Company
for cancellation the original Warrant to the extent the original Warrant is the Holders possession and control or at
the request of the Company to execute an instrument of cancellation in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
the Company and Holder.
(b) No fractional Warrant Shares or scrip representing fractional Warrant Shares shall be
issued upon exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a Warrant Shares that the Holder would otherwise be
entitled to purchase upon exercise, the Company shall round up to the next whole Warrant Share.
(c) During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out
of its authorized but unissued Shares or other securities constituting Warrant Shares, solely for the purpose of
issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant. The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company
may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.
4. Effect of Certain Events on Warrant Shares. In order to prevent dilution of the rights granted under
this Warrant and to grant the Holder certain additional rights, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 4.
(a) Adjustment for Share Splits and Combinations. If the Company at any time after the
Issuance Date effects a subdivision (by any Share split, dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) of its outstanding
Shares into a greater number of Shares (each such occurrence a Subdivision), the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such Subdivision shall be proportionately decreased and the number of Warrant Shares
obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time after the
Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse Share split or otherwise) its outstanding Shares (each such
occurrence a Combination), the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Combination shall be
proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
proportionately decreased. In either such event, the Exercise Price shall be increased or decreased, as the case may
be, by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number
of Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such Subdivision or Combination, and (ii) the
denominator of which shall be the total number of Shares issued and outstanding immediately after the time of such
Subdivision or Combination. Any adjustment under this Section 4(a) shall become effective at the close of business
on the date the Subdivision or Combination becomes effective.

51558254.5
(b) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Company at any time after the
Issuance Date makes or issues a dividend or other distribution payable in Shares (each such occurrence a
Distribution), the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Distribution shall be decreased as of the close
of business on the record date, by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction (i) the numerator of
which shall be the total number of Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such Distribution,
and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of Shares issued and outstanding immediately after the
time of such Distribution.
(c) Adjustment in Number of Warrant Shares. When any adjustment is required to be made
in the Exercise Price pursuant to Sections 4(a) or 4(b), the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise
of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by (ii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately after
such adjustment.
(d) Special Distributions. If the Company at any time after the Issuance Date makes or
issues, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Shares entitled to receive, a dividend or other
distribution payable in evidences of indebtedness, any other securities of the Company, cash, property or other assets
(each such occurrence a Special Distribution), then provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon
exercise hereof, in addition to the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder, the Special Distribution to which
the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Warrant been exercised into Shares as of the record date of
such Special Distribution and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such Special Distribution
to and including the Exercise Date, retained any such Special Distribution, giving application to all adjustments
called for during such period under this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the Holder.
(e) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, there occurs
any Fundamental Transaction (including, without limitation, one pursuant to which holders of Shares are entitled to
receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for Shares), then the Holder shall have the right
thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of the Warrant Shares, the same amount and kind of
securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights)
that the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction had
this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the record date for such Fundamental Transaction, as adjusted in
accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor
Entity, if any, 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. The
provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and any
adjustment under this Section 4(e) shall be without duplication for any adjustment or distribution made under
Section 4.
(f) Other Events. If any event not expressly provided for by this Section 4 occurs that would
adversely affect the Holders rights (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom
stock share rights or other rights with equity features), then the Companys Board shall make an appropriate
adjustment in the Exercise Price reasonably acceptable to Holder and so as to protect the Holders rights; provided
that no such adjustment shall increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares obtainable as
otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 4.
5. Registration and Reissuance of Warrant.
(a) Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant on the books of the
Company 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. The Company shall also register any transfer, exchange, reissuance or
cancellation of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register.

in full or in part without the consent of the Company, and in accordance with applicable securities laws to one or
more new holders (each a New Holder). Subject to applicable securities laws, if this Warrant is to be transferred,
the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company together with an assignment form, in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B, and all applicable transfer taxes, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon
the order of the Holder and any New Holder(s) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 5(e)), registered as the
Holder may request, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being transferred by the
Holder to any New Holder and, if less than the total number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being
transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 5(e)) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the
number of Warrant Shares not being transferred.
(c) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft
or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form or the provision
of reasonable security by the Holder to the Company and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation
of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section
5(e)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant.

hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company together with all applicable transfer taxes, for a new
Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 5(e)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the
number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the right to

provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Persons capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote
or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Shares of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything

whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
7. No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Amended and Restated Articles, or

Exercise Notice), of the Holders election to exercise this Warrant, and (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an
amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant
is being exercised (the Aggregate Exercise Price) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or (B) if
the provisions of Section 3(b) are applicable, by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised
pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 3(b)). Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with
respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the Warrant and the
Company shall promptly be required to issue a new Warrant (a Replacement Warrant) evidencing the right to
purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Until the issuance of the Replacement Warrant by the Company,
the then outstanding Warrant shall remain in full force and effect and evidence the right to purchase the remaining
number of Warrant Shares. Upon receipt of the Replacement Warrant, the Holder hereby agrees to surrender to the
Company for cancellation the original Warrant to the extent the original Warrant is the Holders possession and
control or at the request of the Company to execute an instrument of cancellation in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to the Company and Holder.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time prior to repayment of the
Loan Balance, the Loan Parties obtain Permitted Financings in an amount (i) up to $8,000,000, in the aggregate, the
Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise up to 75% of this Warrant, in whole or in part, pursuant to a Cashless
Exercise with the remaining 25% of this Warrant exercisable at the Exercise Price; and (ii) in excess of $8,000,000
DocuSign Envelope ID: 0B6747E3-B066-4890-BDF9-9B3052A09D2D

and up to $10,000,000, in the aggregate, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise up to 100% of this Warrant
in whole or in part pursuant to a Cashless Exercise.
(c) If eligible pursuant to Section 3(b), in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise
contemplated by Section 3(a) in satisfaction of the Aggregate Exercise Price, the Holder may elect instead to receive
the Net Number of Warrant Share determined in accordance with the following formula:
Net Number =
Y (A B)
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
Y = the number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is being exercised.
A = the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share at the time the Cashless Exercise
election under this Section 3(c) is made.
B = the Exercise Price then in effect.
(d) No fractional Warrant Shares or scrip representing fractional Warrant Shares shall be

of its authorized but unissued Shares or other securities constituting Warrant Shares, solely for the purpose of
issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant. The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company
may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.
4. Effect of Certain Events on Warrant Shares. In order to prevent dilution of the rights granted under
this Warrant and to grant the Holder certain additional rights, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 4.
(a) Adjustment for Share Splits and Combinations. If the Company at any time after the
Issuance Date effects a subdivision (by any Share split, dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) of its outstanding
Shares into a greater number of Shares (each such occurrence a Subdivision), the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such Subdivision shall be proportionately decreased and the number of Warrant Shares
obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time after the
Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse Share split or otherwise) its outstanding Shares (each such
occurrence a Combination), the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Combination shall be
proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
proportionately decreased. In either such event, the Exercise Price shall be increased or decreased, as the case may
be, by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number
of Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such Subdivision or Combination, and (ii) the
denominator of which shall be the total number of Shares issued and outstanding immediately after the time of such
Subdivision or Combination. Any adjustment under this Section 4(a) shall become effective at the close of business
on the date the Subdivision or Combination becomes effective.
(b) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Company at any time after the
Issuance Date makes or issues a dividend or other distribution payable in Shares (each such occurrence a
Distribution), the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Distribution shall be decreased as of the close
of business on the record date, by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction (i) the numerator of
which shall be the total number of Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such Distribution,
and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of Shares issued and outstanding immediately after the
time of such Distribution.
(c) Adjustment in Number of Warrant Shares. When any adjustment is required to be made
in the Exercise Price pursuant to Sections 4(a) or 4(a), the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise
of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the
DocuSign Envelope ID: 0B6747E3-B066-4890-
5
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by (ii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately after
such adjustment.
(d) Special Distributions. If the Company at any time after the Issuance Date makes or
issues, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Shares entitled to receive, a dividend or other
distribution payable in evidences of indebtedness, any other securities of the Company, cash, property or other assets
(each such occurrence a Special Distribution), then provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon
exercise hereof, in addition to t he number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder, the Special Distribution to which
the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Warrant been exercised into Shares as of the record date of
such Special Distribution and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such Special Distribution
to and including the Exercise Date, retained any such Special Distribution, giving application to all adjustments
called for during such period under this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the Holder.
(e) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, there occurs
any Fundamental Transaction (including, without limitation, one pursuant to which holders of Shares are entitled to
receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for Shares), then the Holder shall have the right
thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of the Warrant Shares, the same amount and kind of
securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights)
that the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction had
this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the record date for such Fundamental Transaction, as adjusted in
accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor
Entity, if any, 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. The
provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and any
adjustment under this Section 4(e) shall be without duplication for any adjustment or distribution made under
Section 4.
(f) Other Events. If any event not expressly provided for by this Section 4 occurs that would
adversely affect the Holders rights (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom
stock share rights or other rights with equity features), then the Companys Board shall make an appropriate
adjustment in the Exercise Price so as to protect the Holders rights; provided that no such adjustment shall increase
the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares obtainable as otherwise determined pursuant to this
Section 4.
5. Registration and Reissuance of Warrant.
(a) Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon the on the books
of the Company 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

purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary. The Company shall also register any transfer, exchange, reissuance or
cancellation of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register.
(b) Transfer of Warrant. This Warrant may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned
without the consent of the Company, and in accordance with applicable securities laws to one or more new holders

Holder and any New Holder(s) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 5(e)), registered as the Holder may

Shares not being transferred.

provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Persons capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote
or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Shares of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything

of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including, without limitation Section 3(b), this
Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part by the Holder at any time, or from time to time, on or after the
Issuance Date, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
Exercise Notice), of the Holders election to exercise this Warrant, and (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an
amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant
is being exercised (the Aggregate Exercise Price) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or (B) if
the provisions of Section 3(b) are applicable, by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised
pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 3(b)). Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with
respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the Warrant and the
Company shall promptly be required to issue a new Warrant (a Replacement Warrant) evidencing the right to
purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Until the issuance of the Replacement Warrant by the Company,
the then outstanding Warrant shall remain in full force and effect and evidence the right to purchase the remaining
number of Warrant Shares. Upon receipt of the Replacement Warrant, the Holder hereby agrees to surrender to the
Company for cancellation the original Warrant to the extent the original Warrant is the Holders possession and
control or at the request of the Company to execute an instrument of cancellation in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to the Company and Holder.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time prior to repayment of the
Loan Balance, the Loan Parties obtain Permitted Financings in an amount (i) up to $8,000,000, in the aggregate, the
Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise up to 75% of this Warrant, in whole or in part, pursuant to a Cashless
Exercise with the remaining 25% of this Warrant exercisable at the Exercise Price; and (ii) in excess of $8,000,000
DocuSign Envelope ID: 0B6747E3-B066-4890-BDF9-9B3052A09D2D
4
and up to $10,000,000, in the aggregate, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise up to 100% of this Warrant
in whole or in part pursuant to a Cashless Exercise.
(c) If eligible pursuant to Section 3(b), in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise
contemplated by Section 3(a) in satisfaction of the Aggregate Exercise Price, the Holder may elect instead to receive
the Net Number of Warrant Share determined in accordance with the following formula:
Net Number =
Y (A B)
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
Y = the number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrant is being exercised.
A = the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share at the time the Cashless Exercise
election under this Section 3(c) is made.
B = the Exercise Price then in effect.
(d) No fractional Warrant Shares or scrip representing fractional Warrant Shares shall be
issued upon exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a Warrant Shares that the Holder would otherwise be
entitled to purchase upon exercise, the Company shall round up to the next whole Warrant Share.
(e) During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out
of its authorized but unissued Shares or other securities constituting Warrant Shares, solely for the purpose of
issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant. The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company
may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.
4. Effect of Certain Events on Warrant Shares. In order to prevent dilution of the rights granted under
this Warrant and to grant the Holder certain additional rights, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 4.
(a) Adjustment for Share Splits and Combinations. If the Company at any time after the
Issuance Date effects a subdivision (by any Share split, dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) of its outstanding
Shares into a greater number of Shares (each such occurrence a Subdivision), the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such Subdivision shall be proportionately decreased and the number of Warrant Shares
obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time after the
Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse Share split or otherwise) its outstanding Shares (each such
occurrence a Combination), the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Combination shall be
proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
proportionately decreased. In either such event, the Exercise Price shall be increased or decreased, as the case may
be, by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number
of Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such Subdivision or Combination, and (ii) the
denominator of which shall be the total number of Shares issued and outstanding immediately after the time of such
Subdivision or Combination. Any adjustment under this Section 4(a) shall become effective at the close of business
on the date the Subdivision or Combination becomes effective.
(b) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Company at any time after the
Issuance Date makes or issues a dividend or other distribution payable in Shares (each such occurrence a
Distribution), the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Distribution shall be decreased as of the close
of business on the record date, by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction (i) the numerator of
which shall be the total number of Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such Distribution,
and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of Shares issued and outstanding immediately after the
time of such Distribution.
(c) Adjustment in Number of Warrant Shares. When any adjustment is required to be made
in the Exercise Price pursuant to Sections 4(a) or 4(a), the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise
of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the
DocuSign Envelope ID: 0B6747E3-B066-4890-
5
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by (ii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately after
such adjustment.
(d) Special Distributions. If the Company at any time after the Issuance Date makes or
issues, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Shares entitled to receive, a dividend or other
distribution payable in evidences of indebtedness, any other securities of the Company, cash, property or other assets
(each such occurrence a Special Distribution), then provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon
exercise hereof, in addition to t he number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder, the Special Distribution to which
the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Warrant been exercised into Shares as of the record date of
such Special Distribution and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such Special Distribution
to and including the Exercise Date, retained any such Special Distribution, giving application to all adjustments
called for during such period under this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the Holder.
(e) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, there occurs
any Fundamental Transaction (including, without limitation, one pursuant to which holders of Shares are entitled to
receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for Shares), then the Holder shall have the right
thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of the Warrant Shares, the same amount and kind of
securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights)
that the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction had
this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the record date for such Fundamental Transaction, as adjusted in
accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor
Entity, if any, 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. The
provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and any
adjustment under this Section 4(e) shall be without duplication for any adjustment or distribution made under
Section 4.
(f) Other Events. If any event not expressly provided for by this Section 4 occurs that would
adversely affect the Holders rights (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom
stock share rights or other rights with equity features), then the Companys Board shall make an appropriate
adjustment in the Exercise Price so as to protect the Holders rights; provided that no such adjustment shall increase
the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares obtainable as otherwise determined pursuant to this
Section 4.
5. Registration and Reissuance of Warrant.
(a) Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon the on the books
of the Company 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. The Company shall also register any transfer, exchange, reissuance or
cancellation of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register.
(b) Transfer of Warrant. This Warrant may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned
without the consent of the Company, and in accordance with applicable securities laws to one or more new holders
(each a New Holder). Subject to applicable securities laws, if this Warrant is to be transferred, the Holder shall

and all applicable transfer taxes, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the
Holder and any New Holder(s) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 5(e)), registered as the Holder may

Holder and, if less than the total number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new
Warrant (in accordance with Section 5(e)) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant
Shares not being transferred.

satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft

such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) have an issuance

provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Persons capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote
or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Shares of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything

of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the
