the undersigned Subscriber covenants, represents and warrants to the Issuer that:
1. acknowledges
that the Securities are subject to resale restrictions in Canada and the United States which restrict the ability of the Subscriber

applicable securities laws and regulatory policy until the expiry of the applicable restricted period and in compliance with the
other requirements of applicable securities laws;
2. acknowledges
that the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state of the United States, and that the
sale of the Securities by the Company to the Subscriber is being made in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements
of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the U.S. Securities Act and Rule 506(b) thereunder and similar applicable
state securities laws;
3. acknowledges
that the Securities are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act (“Rule

of the U.S. Securities Act; or (d) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act, and, in each
case, in compliance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or the applicable laws of any other
jurisdiction. In the case of a proposed transfer pursuant to (b) above, after the 40 day distribution compliance period (as defined
in Regulation S (the “Distribution Compliance Period”)) the Subscriber shall provide a declaration in the form set
forth in Appendix III, to the effect that the transfer may be effected without registration under the U.S. Securities Act, and
in the case of a proposed transfer pursuant to (c) (i) or (ii) above, the Subscriber shall provide an opinion of counsel of recognized
standing reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the proposed transfer may be effected without registration under
the U.S. Securities Act; provided that, if the Rule 144 Certificate attached hereto as Appendix II is properly completed and delivered
to the Company or the Company’s U.S. legal counsel at the time of a contemplated sale pursuant to (c)(i), along with a copy
of the applicable certificate representing the security, then, if all of the necessary conditions of Rule 144 have been satisfied
by the Company and/or Subscriber, as applicable, the Company’s U.S. legal counsel will arrange for the above referenced
legal opinion confirming that the proposed transfer may be effected without registration under the U.S. Securities Act and that
