2.1.5. If Subscriber is a resident of or incorporated under or otherwise subject to the securities laws of Canada or any province or territory of Canada (a “Canadian Person”), then, in addition to, and not in lieu of, Subscriber’s representations and warranties pursuant to Section 2.1.4, Subscriber represents and warrants that Subscriber (i) is purchasing the Subscribed Shares as principal for its own account, or is deemed to be purchasing the Subscribed Shares as principal for its own account in accordance with applicable Canadian Securities Laws; and (ii) is an “accredited investor” as defined in National Instrument 45-106—Prospectus Exemptions (“NI 45-106”) and the Securities Act (Ontario) and the subscriber has properly completed the Accredited Investor Certificate attached hereto as Schedule II indicating the Subscriber is an accredited investor as so defined.

Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscribed Shares will not be immediately eligible for offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition pursuant to Rule 144 until April 29, 2025, and that the provisions of Rule 144(i) will generally apply to the Subscribed Shares. Subscriber understands and agrees that the Subscribed Shares will be subject to the foregoing restrictions and, as a result, Subscriber may not be able to readily resell the Subscribed Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Subscribed Shares for an indefinite period of time. Subscriber understands that it has been advised to consult independent legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of the Subscribed Shares. Subscriber has determined based on its own independent review and such professional advice as it deems appropriate that the Subscribed Shares are a suitable investment for Subscriber, notwithstanding the substantial risks inherent in investing in or holding the Subscribed Shares, and that Subscriber is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of Subscriber’s investment. Subscriber acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

Subscriber represents and agrees that Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, received, reviewed and understood the offering materials made available to them in connection with the Subscription, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, including

Subscriber did not become aware of this offering of the Subscribed Shares, nor were the Subscribed Shares offered to Subscriber, by any general solicitation or general advertising, and none of the Company, the Placement Agents or their respective representatives or any person acting on behalf of any of them acted as investment advisor, broker or dealer to Subscriber. Subscriber acknowledges that the Company represents and warrants that the Subscribed Shares (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising, including methods described in section 502(c) of Regulation D under and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws.

2.1.14. Subscriber understands and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Subscribed Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of an investment in the Subscribed Shares and the foregoing authorities have not confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of any representation (and any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense).

The representations, warranties and undertakings in this Section 2.1.15 will not apply to any party hereto to which Council Regulation (EC) No. 2271/96, as amended (the “Blocking Regulation”) applies, if and to the extent that such representation, warranty or undertaking is or would be invalid or unenforceable by reason of breach of any provision of the Blocking Regulation (or any law or regulation implementing such Blocking Regulation or any similar measure in any member state of the European Union or the United Kingdom). If Subscriber is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), Subscriber represents that it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act.

Subscriber further represents and warrants that, to the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by Subscriber and used to purchase the Subscribed Shares were legally derived.

2.1.16. Except as expressly disclosed in a Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G (or amendments thereto) filed by Subscriber with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Company’s securities, Subscriber is not currently (and at all times through the Closing Date will refrain from being or becoming) a member of a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act, or any successor provision) acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of equity securities of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) that represent in excess of 5% of the outstanding Common Shares or of the outstanding voting power of the Company.

2.1.17. Subscriber will have sufficient immediately available funds to pay the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.4.1 and will be able to consummate the subscription of the Subscribed Shares.

2.1.18. No broker, finder or other financial consultant has acted on behalf of Subscriber in connection with this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in such a way as to create any liability on the Company.

2.1.19. Subscriber agrees that, from the date of this Subscription Agreement until the Disclosure Time or the earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement, none of Subscriber, its controlled affiliates, or any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates or pursuant to any understanding with Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates will engage in any Short Sales with respect to securities of the Company. For the purposes hereof, “Short Sales” shall include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges (other than pledges in the ordinary course of business as part of prime brokerage arrangements), forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), including through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) nothing herein shall prohibit any entities under common management or that share an investment advisor with Subscriber (including Subscriber’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of Subscriber’s participation in the transactions contemplated hereby from entering into any Short Sales and (b) in the case of a Subscriber that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Subscriber’s assets, this Section 2.1.19 shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Subscribed Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.1.19 shall not apply to (i) any sale (including the exercise of any redemption right) of securities of the Company (A) held by Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates prior to the execution of this Subscription Agreement or (B) purchased by Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates in an open market transaction after the execution of this Subscription Agreement or (ii) ordinary course, non-speculative hedging transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for 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 after the Disclosure Time.

2.1.20. The funds being used to purchase the Subscribed Shares which will be paid by Subscriber to the Company in accordance with the terms hereunder will not represent proceeds of crime for the purposes of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) (the “PCMLTFA”) and Subscriber and the beneficial subscriber, if any, acknowledges that the Company may in the future be required by law to disclose Subscriber’s or beneficial subscriber’s name and other information relating to this Subscription Agreement and Subscriber’s subscription hereunder, on a confidential basis, pursuant to the PCMLTFA. To the best of its knowledge, none of the subscription funds to be provided by Subscriber or the beneficial subscriber have been or will be derived from or related to any activity that is deemed criminal under the laws of Canada or any other jurisdiction or are being tendered on behalf of a person or entity who has not been identified to Subscriber.

2.1.21. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the sale and delivery of the Subscribed Shares is subject to applicable requirements under the securities laws and regulations of the provinces and territories of Canada (“Canadian Securities Laws”) and is conditional upon such sale being exempt from the prospectus requirements of Canadian Securities Laws and that the Subscribed Shares have not been qualified under a prospectus under Canadian Securities Laws. Subscriber acknowledges that the Company, as of the date hereof, is a “reporting issuer” in the province of Québec, that the Subscribed Shares may be subject to statutory resale restrictions under Canadian Securities Laws, which resale restrictions may apply outside of Canada, and Subscriber covenants that it will not resell the Subscribed Shares except in compliance with such laws, if applicable.

2.1.22. If Subscriber is a Canadian Person, Subscriber is eligible to purchase the Subscribed Shares pursuant to an exemption from the prospectus requirements of Canadian Securities Laws.

The issuance and delivery of the Subscribed Shares is not subject to preemptive, co-sale, right of first refusal or any other similar rights of the shareholders of the Company or any other person or entity or any liens, encumbrances or restrictions, other than restrictions on resale under applicable securities laws.

2.2.2. The Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party have been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming that the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party constitute valid and binding obligations of the other parties thereto, are valid and binding obligations of the Company, and are enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

2.2.3. Assuming the accuracy of Subscriber’s representations and warranties in Section 2.1 hereof, the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party (including compliance by the Company with all of the provisions hereof), the issuance and sale of the Subscribed Shares and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated herein, do not and will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, charge, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, which would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined below), (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of its properties that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Company Material Adverse Effect” shall mean any change, event, development, condition, occurrence or effect that, individually or in the aggregate, (x) has or would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial condition, shareholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (y) materially and adversely affects the ability of the Company to timely perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, provided, however, that none of the following will be deemed in themselves, either alone or in combination, to constitute, and that none of the following will be taken into account in determining whether there has been or will be, a Company Material Adverse Effect: (a) any change generally affecting the economy, financial markets or political, economic or regulatory conditions in the United States, Canada, or any other geographic region in which the Company conducts business, (b) general financial, credit or capital market conditions, including interest rates or exchange rates, or any changes therein, (c) any change that generally affects industries in which the Company conducts business; (d) changes in laws after the date hereof; (e) changes in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) after the date of this Subscription Agreement; or (f) any change arising in connection with earthquakes, hostilities, acts of war, sabotage or terrorism or military actions or any escalation or material worsening of any such hostilities, acts of war, sabotage or terrorism or military actions.

2.2.4. Neither the Company, nor any person acting on its behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security of the Company nor solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would adversely affect reliance by the Company on an exemption from the prospectus or registration requirements of Canadian Securities Laws or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the exemption from registration for the transactions contemplated hereby or would require registration or qualification of the issuance of the Subscribed Shares under the Securities Act or a prospectus under Canadian Securities Laws.

The financial statements (including the notes thereto) of the Company set forth in the SEC Documents and the SEDAR+ Documents (the “Financial Statements”) comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and with the published rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as well as with Canadian Securities Laws. The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied during the periods involved and fairly present the financial position of the Company at the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial recurring adjustments).

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received a written notice that the Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company or any subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any person or entity. To the Knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another person or entity of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy and confidentiality of the Intellectual Property Rights (excluding any patents or patent applications that have or will become public), except where the failure to do so would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect. To the Knowledge of the Company, all material licenses or other material agreements under which the Company is granted rights to intellectual property, if any, are in full force and effect and there is no material default by any other party thereto. The Company has no reason to believe that the licensors under such licenses and other agreements, if any, do not have and did not have all requisite power and authority to grant the rights to the intellectual property purported to be granted thereby.

Any preclinical tests and studies or clinical trials conducted by, on behalf of, or sponsored by the Company or any of its subsidiaries that are described in, or the results of which are referred to in, the SEC Documents (“Studies”), were and, if still pending, are being conducted in all material respects in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations and protocols governing the conduct of such Studies, the protocols, procedures and controls submitted to the FDA or any foreign governmental body exercising comparable authority (together with the FDA, the “Regulatory Authorities”), and any conditions of approval and policies imposed by any institutional review board, ethics review board or committee responsible for the oversight of such preclinical tests and studies and clinical trials. The descriptions of the Studies contained in the SEC Documents are accurate in all material respects; to the Knowledge of the Company, there are no other preclinical studies and clinical trials, the results of which are inconsistent with or would call into question the results described in the SEC Documents in any material respect; and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any written notice or correspondence from the FDA or any other Regulatory Authority or institutional review board exercising comparable authority requiring or threatening the termination, suspension, or clinical hold of Studies, where such termination, suspension or clinical hold would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, and to the Knowledge of the Company, there are no reasonable grounds for the same.

2.2.19. The Company and its subsidiaries have filed on a timely basis (giving effect to extensions) all required federal, state and foreign income and franchise tax returns (except where the failure to file would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect) and have timely paid or accrued all taxes shown as due thereon, including interest and penalties (except where the failure to pay would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect), and, to the Knowledge of the Company, there is no tax deficiency that has been or might be asserted or threatened against it or them that could have a Company Material Adverse Effect. All tax liabilities accrued through the date hereof have been adequately provided for on the books of the Company. There are no liens for material taxes upon the assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than for current taxes not yet due and payable or for taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP has been made in the Company’s most recent financial statements included in the SEC Documents.

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any written notice requiring or threatening any revocation or modification of any such Permits, where such revocation or modification would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

2.2.23. Except as otherwise set forth in the SEC Documents, (i) the Company maintains internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in paragraph (f) of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act) as required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act; (ii) since the end of the Company’s most recent audited fiscal year, there has been no material weakness in the design or operation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (whether or not

4.1. The Parties agree that:

4.1.1. Subject to, and upon, the terms and conditions of this Section 4 (including, without limitation, Section 4.1.2), the Company agrees that, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than twenty (20) Business Days after the Closing Date (the date on which the Registration Statement (as defined in Section 4.1.2 below) is filed, the “Filing Date”), it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement on Form S-3 registering the resale of (i) the Subscribed Shares and/or any other equity security (of the Company, any successor entity or otherwise) issued or issuable with respect to the Subscribed Shares by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event or otherwise (the “Registrable Securities”) and (ii) Common Shares purchased or that may be purchased by Other Subscribers pursuant to the Other Subscription Agreements (the “Other Subscribers’ Registrable Securities”), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (1) the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the Staff of the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” or provide comments to the Registration Statement) following the Closing Date and (2) if the Company is notified by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be reviewed or is no longer subject to further review and comment, the fifth (5^th) Business Day following the date on which the Company is so notified, except that if any such date that results from the application of the provisions of foregoing clauses (1) and (2) is a date on which the rules of the Commission do not permit the Registration Statement to be declared effective without audited financial statements for the Company’s fiscal year ending on October 31, 2024 being included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, then, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall only be obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement be declared effective no later than the date that is the later to occur of (x) the date that results from the application of the provisions of the foregoing clauses (1) and (2) and (y) the 30^th day after the filing by the Company of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024 (the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective, the “Effectiveness Date”); provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to include the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing a completed and executed selling shareholders questionnaire in customary form to the Company that contains the information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Company held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities that is required by Commission rules to be included in the Registration Statement to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities for resale by the Subscriber, and Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Company shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement, if applicable, as permitted hereunder; provided, that Subscriber shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction (other than as may be provided pursuant to this Section 4) on the ability to transfer the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, and unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Subscriber prior to the filing of the

Registration Statement, Subscriber shall not be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement; provided, that if the Commission requests that Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, Subscriber will have the opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement upon its prompt written request to the Company. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Company to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to use commercially reasonable efforts to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 4. For purposes of this Section 4, “Subscriber” shall include any person to which the rights under this Section 4 shall have been duly assigned. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide a draft of the Registration Statement to Subscriber for review at least two (2) Business Days in advance of filing the Registration Statement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be required to delay or postpone the filing of the Registration Statement as a result of or in connection with the Subscriber’s review. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Company from including any or all of the Common Shares proposed to be registered for resale under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of such Common Shares by the applicable shareholders or otherwise, (i) the Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Common Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Common Shares as is permitted by the Commission to be included in the Registration Statement and (ii) the number of Common Shares to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders; and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register pursuant to Rule 415 or otherwise under the Securities Act additional Common Shares for the selling shareholders named in the Registration Statement, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new additional registration statement on Form S-3 to register such additional Common Shares not included in the initial Registration Statement and cause such amendment or such new additional registration statement to become effective as promptly as practicable.

4.1.2. The defined term “Registration Statement” as used throughout this Section 4 shall mean the registration statement on Form S-3 that is filed by the Company pursuant to the first sentence of Section 4.1.1 and/or, if the context requires or otherwise allows, any new additional registration statement on Form S-3 that is filed by the Company pursuant to the last sentence of Section 4.1.1.

4.2. In the case of the registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration. At its expense the Company shall:

4.2.1. except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Company determines to obtain, continuously effective, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (i) the third anniversary of the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement, when Subscriber has sold all of its Registrable Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement or Rule 144 and (ii) the date all Registrable Securities held by the Subscriber may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable); provided, that for as long as the applicable Registration Statement shall remain

effective pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company will (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports, and (b) provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to update or amend the applicable Registration Statement as necessary to include the Registrable Securities;

4.2.2. use commercially reasonable efforts to advise Subscriber within five (5) Business Days:

(a) when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(b) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

(c) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

(d) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

(e) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall not, when so advising Subscriber of such events, provide Subscriber with any material, non-public information regarding the Company or subject Subscriber to any duty of confidentiality;

4.2.3. use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

4.2.4. upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 4.2.2(e), except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

4.2.5. use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Subscribed Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Company’s Common Shares are then listed;

4.2.6. use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps reasonably necessary to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities and to enable the sale of the Registrable Securities under Rule 144; and

4.2.7. use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company’s transfer agent to remove any restrictive legend, at Subscriber’s request, as provided in Section 7.3 hereof.

4.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under any Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, (i) as may be necessary in connection with the preparation and filing of a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement following the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or 20-F, as applicable, or (ii) if the filing, effectiveness or continued use of such Registration Statement would require the Company to make any public disclosure of material non-public information, which disclosure, in the good faith determination of the board of directors of the Company, after consultation with counsel to the Company, would be required to be made in such Registration Statement in order for the applicable Registration Statement not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading, would not be required to be made at such time if such Registration Statement were not being filed, and the Company has a bona fide business purpose for not making such information public (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Company may not delay or suspend any Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred twenty (120) total calendar days, in each case, during any three hundred sixty (360) day period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding the Company and which notice shall not be subject to any duty of confidentiality) of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that any Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event any Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits 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 (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities under such Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding the Company and which notice shall not be subject to any duty of confidentiality). If so directed by the Company, Subscriber will deliver to the Company or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities shall not apply (a) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (1) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (2) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (b) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. Subscriber may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that Subscriber not receive notices from the Company otherwise required by this Section 4; provided, however, that Subscriber may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from Subscriber (unless subsequently revoked), (x) the Company shall not deliver any such notices to Subscriber and Subscriber shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (y) each time prior to Subscriber’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, Subscriber will notify the Company in writing at least two (2) Business Days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of the preceding

sentence) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Company will so notify Subscriber, within one (1) Business Day of Subscriber’s notification to the Company, by delivering to Subscriber a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide Subscriber with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event promptly following its availability.

4.4. The Parties agree that:

4.4.1. The Company shall, notwithstanding the termination of this Subscription Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, Subscriber (to the extent Subscriber is named as a selling shareholder under any Registration Statement), the officers, directors, agents, partners, members, managers, shareholders, affiliates, advisers, employees of such Subscriber, each person who controls such Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, agents, affiliates and employees of each such controlling person from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees of one law firm and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or incorporated by reference therein), prospectus included in any Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of Canadian Securities Laws, the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 4, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of Subscriber expressly for use therein or Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such information; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 4.4 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs (A) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by Subscriber expressly for use in such Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, (B) in connection with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by the Company in a timely manner, (C) as a result of offers or sales effected by or on behalf of any person by means of a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that was not authorized by the Company or (D) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of Subscriber in violation of Section 4.3 hereof. The Company shall notify Subscriber promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 4 of which the Company is aware.

4.4.2. Subscriber agrees, severally and not jointly with any person that is a party to the Other Subscription Agreements, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Company and each of the Company’s directors, officers, employees and agents and each person who controls the Company, as applicable (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) against any and all Losses, as incurred, that arise out of or result from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement or preliminary

prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of 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, and only to the extent, such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such Subscriber specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 4.4 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the liability of Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Subscriber shall notify the Company promptly of the institution, threat, or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 4 of which Subscriber is aware.

4.4.3. Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.4.4. The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities.

4.4.5. If the indemnification provided under this Section 4.4 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Losses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the 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

to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Each indemnifying party’s obligation to make a contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall be individual, not joint and several, and in no event shall the liability of Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

5. Termination. This Subscription Agreement (i) may be terminated upon the mutual written agreement of each of the Parties to this Subscription Agreement, (ii) may be terminated by Subscriber if any of the conditions set forth in Section 3.3 shall have become incapable of fulfillment, and shall not have been waived by Subscriber, or (iii) may be terminated by either Subscriber or the Company at any time after the fifth Business Day after the date of this Agreement if the Closing has not been consummated; provided, however, that no termination of this Subscription Agreement pursuant to any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5 will affect the right of any Party to sue for any breach by the other Party.

6. Miscellaneous.

6.1. Further Assurances. At the Closing, the Parties shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional actions as the parties reasonably may deem to be practical and necessary in order to consummate the Subscription as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

Prior to the Closing, the Company agrees to promptly notify Subscriber and the Placement Agents if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, undertakings, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Company set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects (other than those acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, undertakings, representations and warranties qualified by materiality, in which case the Company shall notify Subscriber and the Placement Agents if they are no longer accurate in any respect).

6.1.2. Each of the Company, Subscriber and each of the Placement Agents is entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

6.1.3. The Company may request from Subscriber such additional information as the Company may reasonably deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Subscribed Shares, and Subscriber shall provide such information as may be reasonably requested, to the extent within Subscriber’s possession and control or otherwise readily available to Subscriber, provided that the Company agrees to keep confidential any such information provided by Subscriber.

6.1.4. Each of Subscriber and the Company shall pay all of its own respective expenses in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein (it being agreed that all expenses related to any Registration Statement are for the account of the Company to the extent provided in Section 4, and the Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all of DTC’s fees associated with the issuance of the Subscribed Shares).

6.3. Entire Agreement. This Subscription Agreement and any amendments hereto constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof, including any commitment letter entered into relating to the subject matter hereof.

6.4. Modifications and Amendments. This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified, supplemented or waived except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver is sought.

6.5. Assignment. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights, interests or obligations that may accrue to Subscriber (including Subscriber’s rights to purchase the Subscribed Shares) may be transferred or assigned without the prior consent of the Company; provided that Subscriber’s rights and obligations hereunder may be assigned to any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as Subscriber, without the prior consent of the Company, provided that such assignee(s) agrees in writing to be bound by the terms hereof, and upon such assignment by a Subscriber, the assignee(s) shall become Subscriber hereunder and have the rights and obligations and be deemed to make the representations and warranties of Subscriber provided for herein to the extent of such assignment; provided further that, no assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder, including any assignment to any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as Subscriber.

6.6. Benefit. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. This Subscription Agreement shall not confer rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Placement Agents shall be third-party beneficiaries to the representations, warranties, understandings and undertakings made by the Company and Subscriber in this Subscription Agreement and as provided in Section 4.4.1, Section 4.4.2, Section 6.10 and Section 6.15.

6.7. Governing Law. This Subscription Agreement, and any claim or cause of action hereunder based upon, arising out of or related to this Subscription Agreement (whether based on law, in equity, in contract, in tort or any other theory) or the negotiation, execution, performance or enforcement of this Subscription Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

6.8. Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, provided that if subject matter jurisdiction over the matter that is the subject of the legal proceeding is vested exclusively in the U.S. federal courts, such legal proceeding shall be heard in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (together with the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, the “Chosen Courts”), in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Subscription Agreement. Each party hereby waives, and shall not assert as a defense in any legal dispute, that (i) such person is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for any reason, (ii) such legal proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in the Chosen Courts, (iii) such person’s property is exempt or immune from execution, (iv) such legal proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or (v) the venue of such legal proceeding is improper. Each party hereby consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by Delaware law, further consents to service of process by nationally recognized overnight courier service guaranteeing overnight delivery, or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 6.2 and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such manner of service of process. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 6.8, a party may commence any action, claim, cause of action or suit in a court other than the Chosen Courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by the Chosen Courts. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF THE PARTIES WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

6.9. Severability. If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

6.10. Exculpation of the Placement Agents. Each party hereto agrees, for the express benefit of the Placement Agents, their respective affiliates and representatives, that, in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby:

6.10.1. Neither the Placement Agents nor any of their respective affiliates or any of their representatives (i) shall be liable for any improper payment made in accordance with the information provided by the Company; (ii) make any representation or warranty, or has any responsibilities as to the validity, accuracy, value or genuineness of any information, certificates or documentation delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, including any offering or marketing materials; or (iii) shall be liable (x) for any action taken, suffered or omitted by any of them in good faith and reasonably believed to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon them by this Subscription Agreement or any other Transaction Document or (y) for anything which any of them may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Subscription Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except for such party’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

6.10.2. The Placement Agents, their respective affiliates and representatives shall be entitled to (1) rely on, and shall be protected in acting upon, any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter or any other document or security delivered to any of them by or on behalf of the Company, and (2) be indemnified by the Company for acting as Placement Agents hereunder pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in the engagement letters between the Company and the Placement Agents.

6.11. No Waiver of Rights, Powers and Remedies. No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Subscription Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.

6.12. Remedies.

6.12.1. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if this Subscription Agreement is not performed or the Closing is not consummated in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damage. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to equitable relief, including in the form of an injunction or injunctions, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Subscription Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 6.8, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity, including money damages. The right to specific enforcement shall include the right of the parties hereto to cause the other parties hereto to cause the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Subscription Agreement. The parties hereto further agree (i) to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy, (ii) not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement pursuant to this Section 6.12 is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable law or inequitable for any reason and (iii) to waive any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

6.12.2. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 6.12 is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, the parties hereto would not have entered into this Subscription Agreement.

6.13. Survival of Representations and Warranties and Covenants. All representations and warranties made by the parties hereto, and all covenants and other agreements of the parties hereto, in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.

6.14. Headings and Captions. The headings and captions of the various subdivisions of this Subscription Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify or affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms or provisions hereof.

6.15. No Liability. Subscriber agrees that none of the Placement Agents shall be liable to it (including in contract, tort, under federal or state securities laws or otherwise) for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in good faith in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the purchase and sale of the Subscribed Shares hereunder. On behalf of Subscriber and its affiliates, Subscriber releases the Placement Agents in respect of any Losses related to the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the purchase and sale of the Subscribed Shares hereunder. Subscriber agrees not to commence any litigation or bring any claim against any of the Placement Agents in any court or any other forum which relates to, may arise out of, or is in connection with, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the purchase and sale of the Subscribed Shares hereunder. This undertaking is given freely and after obtaining independent legal advice, except for such party’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

6.16. Counterparts. This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one 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 parties, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or any other form of electronic delivery, 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 signature page were an original thereof.

6.17. Construction. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Subscription Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,”

“hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Subscription Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. All references in this Subscription Agreement to numbers of shares, per share amounts and purchase prices shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or the like occurring after the date hereof.

6.18. Mutual Drafting. This Subscription Agreement is the joint product of the Parties and each provision hereof has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of the Parties and shall not be construed for or against any Party.

7.1. make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; and

Subscriber agrees to disclose its beneficial ownership, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of Common Shares to the Company (or its successor) upon reasonable request to assist the Company in making the determination described above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be required to deliver any such opinion, authorization, certificate, or direction if it reasonably believes that removal of the legend could result in or facilitate transfers of securities in violation of applicable law.

8. Equal Treatment of Subscribers. No Other Subscriber has received terms in respect of its purchase of the Common Shares that are more favorable than those of Subscriber.
