by the Investor, shall not exceed that number of the Common Shares that may be issuable without shareholder approval (the “Maximum Common Share Issuance”). If such issuance of Common Shares could cause a
delisting on the Principal Market, then the Maximum Common Share Issuance shall first be approved by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with applicable law and the By-laws and the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, if such issuance of
shares of Common Share could cause a delisting on the Principal Market. The parties understand and agree that the Company’s failure to seek or obtain such shareholder approval shall in no way adversely affect the validity and due authorization of
the issuance and sale of Securities or the Investor’s obligation in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof to purchase a number of Shares in the aggregate up to the Maximum Common Share Issuance limitation, and that such approval pertains
only to the applicability of the Maximum Common Share Issuance limitation provided in this Section 2.6.
2.7 LIMITATION ON AMOUNT OF OWNERSHIP. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the Investor be entitled to purchase that number of Shares, which when added to the sum of the number of Common Shares beneficially owned (as such term is defined under Section 13(d) and Rule 13d-3 of
the 1934 Act), by the Investor, would exceed 9.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding on the Closing Date, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-1(j) of the 1934 Act.

releases or otherwise making public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and no party shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the other party, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that no prior consent shall be required if such disclosure is required by law, as determined solely by the Company in consultation with its counsel. The Investor acknowledges that this
Agreement and all or part of the Registered Offering Transaction Documents may be deemed to be “material contracts” as that term is defined by Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K, and that the Company may therefore be required to file such documents
as exhibits to reports or registration statements filed under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act. The Investor further agrees that the status of such documents and materials as material contracts shall be determined solely by the Company, in consultation
with its counsel.
10.12 EXCLUSIVITY. The Company shall not pursue an equity line transaction similar
to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement with any other person or entity until the earlier of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.
10.13 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and
performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of
this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
10.14 NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language
chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party, as the parties mutually agree that each has had a full and fair opportunity to review this Agreement and seek the advice of
counsel on it.
10.15 REMEDIES. The Investor shall have all rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which the Investor has by law. Any person having any rights under any provision
of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any default or breach of any provision of this Agreement, including the recovery of reasonable
attorney’s fees and costs, and to exercise all other rights granted by law.
10.16 PAYMENT SET ASIDE. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Investor hereunder or under
the Registration Rights Agreement or the Investor enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to
be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any
bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and
effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
- 23 -
10.17 COMMITMENT FEE SHARES. Upon entry into this Investment Agreement, the Company commits to issue to
the Investor 250,000 of its Common Shares as a commitment fee for this financing facility (the “Commitment Fee Shares”), which shall be issued and delivered to Investor within ten (10) Trading Days of the
Execution Date. The Company agrees that the issuance of the Commitment Fee Shares is a material obligation and that the Commitment Fee Shares are considered fully-earned as of the Execution Date of this Agreement, regardless of whether or not the
Company files the F-1 or is successful in having it deemed effective by the SEC.
SECTION XI
NON-DISCLOSURE OF NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION
The Company shall not disclose non-public information to the Investor, its advisors, or its representatives.
Nothing in the Registered Offering Transaction Documents shall require or be deemed to require the Company to disclose non-public information to the Investor or its advisors
or representatives, and the Company represents that it does not disseminate non-public information to any investors who purchase stock in the Company in a public offering, to money Managing Members or to securities analysts, provided, however, that
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will, as hereinabove provided, immediately notify the advisors and representatives of the Investor and, if any, underwriters, of any event or the existence of any circumstance (without any
obligation to disclose the specific event or circumstance) of which it becomes aware, constituting non-public information (whether or not requested of the Company specifically or generally during the course of due diligence by such persons or
entities), which, if not disclosed in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement would cause such prospectus to include a material misstatement or to omit a material fact required to be stated therein in order to make the statements,
therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. Nothing contained in this Section 12 shall be construed to mean that such persons or entities other than the Investor (without the written consent of the Investor
prior to disclosure of such information) may not obtain non- public information in the course of conducting due diligence in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and nothing herein shall prevent any such persons or entities from notifying the
Company of their opinion that based on such due diligence by such persons or entities, that the Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or
necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.
SECTION XII
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree to the following: (i) the Investor makes no representations or
covenants that it will not engage in trading in the securities of the Company, other than the Investor will not short or pre-sell, either directly or indirectly through its affiliates, principals or advisors, the Common Shares at any time during the

SECURITIES LAWS, AND THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO PARCELPAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (THE “COMPANY”), (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S.

provided that, if any Securities are being sold in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S, the legend may be removed by providing to the transfer agent
for the Corporation, and if required by the transfer agent for the Corporation, an opinion of counsel, of recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, that the

may be removed by delivering to the transfer agent for the Corporation, an opinion of counsel of recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, that the legend is no longer required under applicable requirements of the U.S.
Securities Act or state securities laws.
(j) |
The Investor understands and agrees that there may be material tax consequences to it of an acquisition, holding, exercise or disposition of the Securities. The Corporation gives no opinion and makes no representation with respect to the tax consequences to the Investor under United States, state, local or foreign tax law of its acquisition, holding,
conversion or disposition of any of the Securities and the Investor acknowledges that it is solely responsible for determining the tax consequences to it with respect to its investment, including whether the Corporation will at any given
time be deemed a “passive foreign investment company” within the meaning of Section 1297 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
|
(k) |
It understands that (i) if the Corporation is ever determined to be an issuer that is, or that has been at any time previously, an issuer with no or nominal
operations and no or nominal assets other than cash and cash equivalents, Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act may not be available for re-sales of the Securities and the Underlying Securities; and

If required by applicable securities legislation, regulatory policy or order or by any securities commission, stock exchange or other regulatory authority,
the Investor will execute, deliver, file and otherwise assist the Corporation in filing reports, questionnaires, undertakings and other documents with respect to the ownership of the Securities.
|
(n) |
It understands that the Corporation has no obligation to register, and have no present intention to register, as applicable, the resale of any of the Securities and the Underlying Securities under the U.S. Securities Act. Accordingly, the Investor understands that absent registration, under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Investor
may be required to hold the Securities indefinitely or to transfer the Securities in transactions which are exempt from registration under the U.S. Securities Act, in which event the transferee may acquire “restricted securities” subject
to the same limitations as in the hands of the Investor. As a consequence, the Investor understands that it must bear the economic risks of the investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time.
|
(o) |
The funds representing the aggregate Purchase Price which will be advanced by the Investor to the Corporation
hereunder will not represent proceeds of crime for the purposes of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act (the “PATRIOT Act”)
and the Investor acknowledges that the Corporation may in the future be required by law to disclose the Investor’s name and other information relating to the Subscription Agreement and the Investor’s subscription hereunder, on a
confidential basis, pursuant to the PATRIOT Act. No portion of the Aggregate Issue Price to be provided by the Investor (i) has been or will be derived from or related to any activity that is deemed criminal under the laws of the United
States, or any other jurisdiction, or (ii) is being tendered on behalf of a person or entity who has not been identified to or by the Investor, and it shall promptly notify the Corporation and the Agent if the Investor discovers that any
of such representations ceases to be true and provide the Corporation and the Agent with appropriate information in connection therewith. The foregoing representations and warranties are true and accurate as of the date of this U.S.

written notice of such fact to the Corporation.
