Company’s sole and absolute discretion, and the Investor has the obligation to purchase from the Company, Purchase Shares
as follows:
(a) Commencement

and the date of satisfaction of such conditions the “Commencement Date”), and subject to Section 9.1 of NI 44-102,
the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, to direct the Investor,
by its delivery to the Investor of a Regular Purchase Notice from time to time, and the Investor thereupon shall have the obligation,
to purchase up to 20,000 Purchase Shares (each such purchase a “Regular Purchase”), at the Purchase Price on

Investor’s committed obligation under any single Regular Purchase shall not exceed US$1,000,000, unless the parties mutually
agree to increase the dollar amount of any Regular Purchase on any Purchase Date at the applicable Purchase Price. If the Company
delivers any Regular Purchase Notice for a Purchase Amount in excess of the limitations contained in the immediately preceding
sentence, such Regular Purchase Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the number of Purchase
Shares set forth in such Regular Purchase Notice exceeds the number of Purchase Shares which the Company is permitted to include
in such Regular Purchase Notice in accordance herewith, and the Investor shall have no obligation to purchase such excess Purchase
Shares in respect of such Regular Purchase Notice; provided that the Investor shall remain obligated to purchase the number of
Purchase Shares which the Company is permitted to include in such Regular Purchase Notice. The Company may deliver a Regular Purchase
Notice only between 4:01 p.m., Eastern time, and 6:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the applicable Purchase Date or between 8:00 a.m.,

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in addition to Regular Purchases as described in Section 2(a) above, the
Company shall also have the right, but not the obligation, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, to direct the Investor,
by the Company’s delivery to the Investor of an Accelerated Purchase Notice from time to time, and the Investor thereupon
shall have the obligation, to buy Purchase Shares at the Accelerated Purchase Price on the Accelerated Purchase Date in an amount
equal to the Accelerated Purchase Share Amount; provided that the parties may mutually agree to increase the amount of Purchase
Shares sold to the Investor on any Accelerated Purchase Date at the Accelerated Purchase Price (each such purchase, an “Accelerated
Purchase”). The Company may deliver an Accelerated Purchase Notice to the Investor only on a Purchase Date on which the
Company also properly submitted a Regular Purchase Notice for a Regular Purchase, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2(a)
hereof, and the Closing Sale Price is not below US$7.00 (to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization,
non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction). If the Company delivers any Accelerated Purchase Notice for an Accelerated
Purchase Share Amount in excess of the limitations contained in the definition of Accelerated Purchase Share Amount, such Accelerated
Purchase Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the number of Purchase Shares set forth in
such Accelerated Purchase Notice exceeds the Accelerated Purchase Share Amount which the Company is permitted to include in such
Accelerated Purchase Notice in accordance herewith (which shall be confirmed in an Accelerated Purchase Confirmation (defined below)),
and the Investor shall have no obligation to purchase such excess Purchase Shares in respect of such Accelerated Purchase Notice;
provided that the Investor shall remain obligated to purchase the Accelerated Purchase Share Amount which the Company is permitted
to include in such Accelerated Purchase Notice. Upon completion of each Accelerated Purchase Date, the Accelerated Purchase Share
Amount and the applicable Accelerated Purchase Price shall be set forth on a confirmation of the Accelerated Purchase to be provided
to the Company by the Investor (an “Accelerated Purchase Confirmation”). The Company may deliver an Accelerated
Purchase Notice only between 4:01 p.m., Eastern time, and 6:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the applicable Purchase Date or between 8:00

an amount equal to the Purchase Amount with respect to such Regular Purchase and Accelerated Purchase, as applicable, as full payment
for the Purchase Shares to be purchased by the Investor in connection therewith, via wire transfer of immediately available funds
to an account as the Company may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with this Agreement, no later than
one (1) Business Day following the applicable Purchase Date or Accelerated Purchase Date as the case may be, and (ii) the Company
shall direct the Transfer Agent to issue and electronically transfer all of such Purchase Shares as DWAC Shares to an account or
accounts specified in writing by the Investor to the Company, no later than one (1) Business Day following the receipt by the Company
of the payment referred to in clause (i) of this sentence. If the Company or the Transfer Agent shall fail for any reason or for
no reason to electronically transfer any Purchase Shares as DWAC Shares in respect of an Accelerated Purchase within one (1) Business
Day following the receipt by the Company of the payment therefor referred to in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence
in compliance with this Section 2(c), and if on or after such Business Day the Investor purchases (in an open market transaction
or otherwise) Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of such Purchase Shares that the Investor anticipated
receiving from the Company in respect of such Accelerated Purchase, then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after
the Investor’s request, either (i) pay cash to the Investor in an amount equal to the Investor’s total purchase price
(including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Shares so purchased (the “Cover Price”), at which point
the Company’s obligation to deliver such Purchase Shares as DWAC Shares shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation
to deliver to the Investor such Purchase Shares as DWAC Shares and pay cash to the Investor in an amount equal to the excess (if
any) of the Cover Price over the total Accelerated Purchase Price for such Accelerated Purchase. The Company shall not issue any
fraction of a Common Share upon any Regular Purchase or Accelerated Purchase. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a
fraction of a Common Share, the Company shall round such fraction of a Common Share up or down to the nearest whole share. All
payments made under this Agreement shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America or wire transfer of immediately
available funds to such account as the Company may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Agreement is due on any day that is not a Business
Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day.
(d) Purchase Price Floor; No
Sales on TSX. The Company and the Investor shall not effect any Regular Purchase under this Agreement on any Purchase Date
that the Closing Sale Price is less than the Floor Price. “Floor Price” means US$5.00, which shall be appropriately
adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction and, effective upon
the consummation of any such reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction, the
Floor Price shall mean the lower of (i) the adjusted price and (ii) US$5.00. The Company and the Investor acknowledge and
agree that no Securities that may be issued pursuant to this Agreement will be offered for sale or sold on the TSX.
(e) Compliance
with Rules of Principal Market and TSX.
(i) Exchange
Cap. Subject to Section 2(e)(ii) below, the Company shall not issue or sell any Common Shares pursuant to this Agreement, and
the Investor shall not purchase or acquire any Common Shares pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent that after giving effect
thereto, the aggregate number of Common Shares that would be issued pursuant to this Agreement would exceed the maximum number
of Common Shares that the Company may issue pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (taking into account
all Common Shares issued or issuable pursuant to any transaction or series of transactions that may be aggregated with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement under applicable rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market) without (A) breaching the Company’s obligations
under the applicable rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market or (B) obtaining shareholder approval under the applicable rules of The NASDAQ
Stock Market (the “Exchange Cap”), unless and until the Company elects to solicit shareholder approval of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the shareholders of the Company have in fact approved the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of The NASDAQ Stock Market and the constating documents
of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may, but shall be under no obligation to, request its shareholders to approve
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that if shareholder approval is not obtained in accordance with this
Section 2(e)(i), the Exchange Cap shall be applicable for all purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby
at all times during the term of this Agreement (except as set forth in Section 2(e)(ii) below).
(ii) At-Market
Transaction. Notwithstanding Section 2(e)(i) above, the Exchange Cap shall not be applicable for any purposes of this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby, solely to the extent that (and only for so long as) the Average Price shall equal or
exceed the Base Price (it being hereby acknowledged and agreed that the Exchange Cap shall be applicable for all purposes of this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby at all other times during the term of this Agreement, unless the shareholder
approval referred to in Section 2(e)(i) is obtained).

Market, or the rules and regulations of the TSX. The provisions of this Section 2(e) shall be implemented in a manner otherwise
than in strict conformity with the terms hereof only if necessary to ensure compliance with the Securities Act, Canadian Securities

business or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

misleading. Each of the U.S. Base Prospectus and the U.S. Prospectus Supplement, as amended or supplemented, as of their respective
dates, did not and, as of each Purchase Date, if any, 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. The representations and warranties set forth in the two immediately preceding sentences do not apply to statements
in or omissions from the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, or the U.S. Prospectus, or any amendments
or supplements thereto, made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to the Investor furnished to the Company
in writing by the Investor expressly for use therein. The Incorporated Documents, when such documents were or are filed with the
Canadian Commissions and the SEC, conformed or will conform in all material respects with the requirements of the Canadian Securities
Laws and the Exchange Act. There is no franchise, contract or other document of a character required to be described in the Registration
Statement or the Prospectuses, or to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, which is not described or filed as required.
The statistical, industry and market-related data included in the Prospectuses is based on or derived from sources that the Company
believes to be reliable and accurate, and such data agrees with the sources from which it is derived. The Company has delivered
to the Investor one complete copy of each of the Canadian Base Prospectus and the Registration Statement and a copy of each consent
and certificate of experts filed as a part thereof, and conformed copies of the Canadian Base Prospectus, the Registration Statement
(without exhibits) and the Prospectuses, as amended or supplemented, in such quantities and at such places as the Investor has
reasonably requested. The Company has not distributed and will not distribute any offering material in connection with the offering
and sale of the Securities in connection with this Agreement other than the Prospectuses or the Registration Statement. At the
earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide
offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) under the Securities Act) of the Securities and at the date hereof, the Company
was not and is not an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, in the preceding three
years not having been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor or having been made the subject of a judicial or administrative decree
or order as described in Rule 405 of the Securities Act (without taking account of any determination by the SEC pursuant to Rule
405 of the Securities Act that it is not necessary that the Company be considered an ineligible issuer), nor an “excluded
issuer” as defined in Rule 164 under the Securities Act.
(v) DTC

its internal control over financial reporting (other than as set forth in the Registration Statement or U.S. Prospectus). Since
the date of the latest audited financial statements of the Company included in the Prospectuses, there has been no change in the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (other than as set forth in the Registration Statement or U.S. Prospectuses).
The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures
as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of the Annual Report on Form 40-F for the fiscal year most recently filed
with the SEC (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its Annual Report on Form 40-F most
recently filed with the SEC the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures
based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Except as set forth in the Registration Statement or Prospectuses, there
is and has been no failure on the part of the Company or, to the knowledge of the Company, any of the Company’s directors
or officers, in their capacities as such, to comply with any applicable provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and the applicable
Rules and Regulations (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act”). Each of the principal executive officer and the principal
financial officer of the Company (or each former principal executive officer of the Company and each former principal financial
officer of the Company as applicable) has made all certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, “principal executive officer” and “principal financial officer” shall
have the meanings given to such terms in the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act.

by the applicable authorities in each such Qualifying Jurisdiction that maintains such a list. The Company has filed all documents
or information required to be filed by it under Canadian Securities Laws, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Rules and Regulations
and the rules, regulations and policies of the Principal Market and the TSX. The Company has not filed any confidential material

and (ii) the TSX under the trading symbol “COM”. The Company has not, in the twelve (12) months preceding the date
hereof, received any notice from any Person to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the rules and regulations
of the Principal Market or the TSX. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue

or contributed to by the Company for current or former employees or directors of, or independent contractors with respect to, the
Company has been maintained in compliance with its terms and the requirements of any applicable statutes, orders, rules and regulations
and the Company has complied in all material respects with all applicable statutes, orders, rules and regulations in regard to
such plans, agreements, policies and arrangements. Each stock option granted under any stock option plan of the Company (each,
a “Stock Plan”) was granted with a per share exercise price no less than the market price per common share on
the grant date of such option in accordance with the rules of the TSX, and no such grant involved any “back-dating,”

such material, non-public information or deliver to the Investor written notice, signed by two officers of the Company, certifying
that the non-public information given to the Investor does not constitute material non-public information prior to any such disclosure

existing, not misleading, or if during such period it is necessary to amend or supplement or renew the Canadian Base Prospectus,
the Registration Statement or any of the Prospectuses to comply with Canadian Securities Laws or the Securities Act, as applicable,
the Company will promptly notify the Investor to suspend use thereof during such period and the Company will promptly amend or

as described in the Prospectuses, and the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall conduct their businesses, or cause their businesses
to be conducted, in substantial compliance with such permits, licenses and authorizations and with applicable laws, except where
the failure to maintain or be in compliance with such permits, licenses and authorizations could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company shall comply with all requirements imposed upon it by Canadian Securities Laws, the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act as from time to time in force in connection with the offer, issuance and sale of the Securities
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Company nor any of its
officers, directors or affiliates will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed or intended to stabilize or manipulate
the price of any security of the Company, or which would reasonably be expected to cause or result in, stabilization or manipulation
of the price of any security of the Company. The Company will conduct its affairs in such a manner so as to reasonably ensure that
neither it nor the Subsidiaries will be or become, at any time prior to the termination of this Agreement, an “investment
company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act, assuming no change in the SEC’s current interpretation
as to entities that are not considered an investment company. The Company and the Subsidiaries will use their best efforts to comply

Company’s receipt of notice of the issuance by the SEC, any Canadian Commission, or any other federal, provincial or state
governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or prohibiting or suspending

of qualification of the Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or contemplated initiation of any
proceeding for such purpose; and (iii) of the Company becoming aware of the happening of any event, which makes any statement of
a material fact made in the Base Prospectuses, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus Supplements untrue or which requires
the making of any additions to or changes to the statements then made in the Base Prospectuses, the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus Supplements in order to state a material fact required by the Securities Act or Canadian Securities Laws to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements then made therein (in the case of any of the Prospectuses, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or of the necessity to amend the Base Prospectuses, the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus Supplements to comply with the Securities Act, Canadian Securities Laws or any other law. The Company

or supplements to the Base Prospectuses, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus Supplements, as applicable, including any
Supplementary Material, that, in the Investor’s reasonable opinion, may be necessary or advisable in connection with any
acquisition or sale of Securities by the Investor (provided, however, that the failure of the Investor to make such request shall
not relieve the Company of any obligation or liability hereunder, or affect the Investor’s right to rely on the representations
and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement); (iii) the Company will not file any amendment or supplement to the Canadian
Base Prospectus, the Registration Statement or any of the Prospectuses, including any Supplementary Material, other than documents

incorporated by reference into the Canadian Base Prospectus, the Registration Statement or any of the Prospectuses, except for

and any of the foregoing Person’s agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any
and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection
therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought),
and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements but excluding loss of profits (the “Indemnified Liabilities”),
incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to: (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation
or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby
or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents or any
other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made
against such Indemnitee and arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction
Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (d) any violation of the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act, U.S. state securities or “Blue Sky” laws or Canadian Securities Laws, or the rules and regulations
of the Principal Market or the TSX in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors or employees, (e) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any of the Prospectuses or any amendment or supplement to the Registration
Statement or any of the Prospectuses, including any Supplementary Material, or in any free writing prospectus or in any application
or other document executed by or on behalf of the Company or based on written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company
filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify the Common Shares under the securities laws thereof or filed with any Canadian Commission
or the SEC, (f) the omission or alleged omission to state in any such document a material fact required to be stated in it or necessary
to make the statements in it not misleading, or (g) the failure of the Canadian Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the
Canadian Prospectus, including any Supplementary Material, to contain full, true and plain disclosure of all material facts relating
to the Securities and to the Company; provided, however, that (I) the indemnity contained in clause (c) of this Section 9 shall
not apply to any Indemnified Liabilities which directly and primarily result from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct
of an Indemnitee, (II) the indemnity contained in clauses (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 9 shall not apply to any Indemnified
Liabilities to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or
on behalf of the Investor expressly for use in any Prospectus (it being hereby acknowledged and agreed that the written information

to Section 5(m), (III) the indemnity contained in clauses (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 9 shall not inure to the benefit
of the Investor to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be

to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Payment under
this indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date Investor makes written request for it. A certificate containing
reasonable detail as to the amount of such indemnification submitted to the Company by Investor shall be conclusive evidence, absent
manifest error, of the amount due from the Company to Investor. If any action shall be brought against any Indemnitee in respect
of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and
the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee.
Any Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee, 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 such separate
counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Indemnitee, in
which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel.

deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY
RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH

comment upon, shall consult with the Investor and its counsel on the form and substance of, and shall give due consideration to

the Investor’s remedies provided in Section 9, shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available to the
parties under this Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief),
no remedy of any party contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and
nothing herein shall limit any party’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the other party to comply with the
terms of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that a breach by any party of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable
harm to the non-breaching party and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The parties therefore agree that,
in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the non-breaching party shall be entitled, in addition to all other available
remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other
security being required.

to represent the Investor in any other proceedings whatsoever in connection with this Agreement, then the Company shall pay to
the Investor, as incurred by the Investor, all reasonable costs and expenses including attorneys’ fees incurred in connection
therewith if the Investor is the prevailing party in any such proceeding, in addition to all other amounts due hereunder.
(o) Waivers.
No provision of this Agreement may be waived other than in a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of
such waiver is sought. No failure or delay in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof
or of any other right, power or privilege.
(p) Adjustments
for Share Splits. The parties acknowledge and agree that all share-related numbers contained in this Agreement shall be adjusted
to take into account any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction effected
with respect to the Common Shares.
