i.
Subject to the review and approval of the Company’s auditors who must review the
Form 10-Q, the same language will be included in the quarterly report on Form
10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, if required by the rules and
regulations governing the filing of the Form 10-Q.

b.
The 10-Q. The Consultant will complete to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Company consistent with past practice the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter
ending September 30, 2017, and in accordance with the rules and the regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Consultant will cause the Form
10-Q to be completed and circulated to the Company’s auditors, the Company’s
legal counsel and the Company for comment, consistent with past practices.
However, the timing of the circulation and completion of the Form 10-Q is
subject to the Consultant’s timely receipt from the Company of all of the
information required to complete the Form 10-Q. The Consultant and Company agree
that the Form 10-Q is to be filed without extension and must be delivered to the
Edgar filer for preparation in order to be filed on or before November 14,
2017.  The Company has acted cooperatively through its legal counsel to provide
and deliver to the Consultant copies of all documents, agreements, and board of
director consents and such other information required to prepare and complete
the Form 10-Q. The Company will continue to cooperate with the Consultant to
provide any additional documents, agreements, board of director consents and
such other information necessary for the Consultant to prepare and complete the
Form 10-Q. The Consultant, as the Company’s chief financial officer and
principal financial officer and Clarence Smith, as the Company’s chief executive
officer and principal executive officer will sign the Form 10-Q and the
necessary certifications, that have been approved by the Consultant, the
Company, the Company’s auditors and the Company’s legal counsel, consistent with
past practices, provided the Consultant, as of the date of signature, is the
chief financial officer and principal financial officer of the Company.  The
Consultant will not cause the Form 10-Q to be filed without the written consent
and direction of the chief executive officer of the Company whose signature will
also be reflected on the Form 10-Q and certifications as filed.  While the
Consultant and the Company agree to work in good faith to file the Form 10-Q on
time, if the Company is obligated to file for an extension of time, the
Consultant and the Company will work with the Company’s auditors and legal
counsel to file within the extended time limit for the Form 10-Q.

retain a copy of any and all documents she needs to prepare the Form 10-Q. As

of the Company, provided that Confidential Information does not include:

(i)    Information that is in the public domain at the date hereof or becomes
part of the public domain after the date hereof through no act or omission of
Consultant;

date hereof and was not acquired by Consultant from the Company or any person

(iii)  Documents or information independently developed by or for Consultant;
and
 
A-3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(iv)  Information received by Consultant without restriction as to disclosure
from a third party who has the lawful right to disclose the same.

(b)   Agreement to Keep Information Confidential.  Consultant acknowledges the
confidential and proprietary nature of the Confidential Information, shall keep
all Confidential Information in strict confidence and will not disclose or
dispose of any Confidential Information to any third party.  Consultant may,
however, disclose the Confidential Information to its officers, employees,
advisers and agents who need to know the Confidential Information for the
purposes of the evaluating and assessing the Confidential Information.  All
individuals receiving any Confidential Information under this Agreement shall be
directed by Consultant to treat the Confidential Information confidentially
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  Nothing in this Agreement prevents
Consultant from disclosing any Confidential Information as may be required by
applicable law, regulation, court order or securities regulatory authority.

(c)   No-Trade.  Consultant acknowledges that it may be in possession of
material nonpublic information which is considered to be any information
concerning the Company that is both (i) material (meaning the average investor
would want to know such information before deciding whether to buy, sell or hold
securities of the Company, or, in other words, information that could affect the
market price of Company securities); and (ii) nonpublic (meaning the information
has not been disclosed in the Company’s filings with the SEC or in a press
release issued by the Company that has been broadly disseminated to the
investing public).  Information is not considered public until the second
business day after such disclosure in an SEC filing or press release.  If such
material nonpublic information is disclosed to the public, Consultant may not
trade in Company securities until the second business day after such disclosure
(i.e., the second day after the applicable SEC filing or press release).  The
prohibition on trading while in possession of material nonpublic information
continues for as long as any information Consultant has is both material and
nonpublic and can continue even after Consultant’s engagement with the Company
has terminated.

5.   Termination.

(a)   Term. This Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and continue
until the earlier of December 31, 2020 (the “Term”) or until terminated.
 
A-4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(b)   Termination for Cause.  The Company will have the right to terminate
Consultant upon written notice for Cause.  The term “Cause” means as a result of
(i) any breach of any written policy of the Company; (ii) conduct involving
moral turpitude, including, but not limited to, misappropriation or conversion
of assets of the Company (other than immaterial assets); (iii) Consultant’s
conviction of, or entry of a plea of nolo contendere to, a felony; or (iv) a
material breach of this Agreement.  The term “Cause” shall not mean as a result
of the death or disability of Consultant.

(c)   Termination Upon a Change of Control.  This Agreement shall terminate
automatically upon a Change of Control of the Company.  For purposes of this
Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall mean any of the following:

(i)   Any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other
corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization,
other than any such consolidation, merger or reorganization in which the
shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or
reorganization, continue to hold at least a majority of the voting power of the
surviving entity in substantially the same proportions (or, if the surviving
entity is a wholly owned subsidiary, its parent) immediately after such
consolidation, merger or reorganization; or (B) any transaction or series of
related transactions to which the Company is a party in which in excess of 50%
of the Company’s voting power is transferred; or

(ii)   The sale, lease, transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company, except where such sale, lease transfer or
other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Sections 3 through 7 shall survive indefinitely.

affiliates and their respective directors, officers, consultants and agents
(each an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all losses,
claims, actions, suits, proceedings, damages liabilities or expenses of
whatsoever nature or kind, including any investigation expenses incurred by any
Indemnified Party to which an Indemnified Party may become subject by reason of
breach of this Agreement or of law by the defaulting party.  Notwithstanding the
above, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Consultant from and against
any claims, damages, losses or expenses incurred by Consultant which arise out
of any acts or omissions taken in good faith by Consultant in connection with or
related to Consultant’s performance of the Services.

7.   General Terms.

(a)   Return of Work Product.  Consultant agrees, promptly upon completion of
the Services or other termination of this Agreement, to deliver to the Company
all Work Product and to return all notes, designs, code, storage devices,
documents and any other Company materials, including Confidential Information. 
Consultant shall not retain any such materials without the Company’s written
approval.

(b)   No Employer-Employee Relationship.  The Company and Consultant understand,
acknowledge, and agree that Consultant’s relationship with the Company will be
that of an “independent contractor” and not that of an employee.  Consultant
will be an “independent contractor” and Consultant will be entitled to work at
such times and places as Consultant determines appropriate, will not be under
the direction or control of the Company or the manner in which Consultant
performs the Services.  Consultant will not be entitled to any of the benefits

Consultant shall prepare and sign such documents affirming Consultant’s
citizenship and residency for tax purposes.

pursuant to which securities of the Company are issued to Consultant, represents
the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior negotiations,
representations, agreements, arrangements, and understandings, if any, either
written or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement, none of which shall be used to interpret or construe this Agreement.

existing provisions without the prior written consent of the other party.

(j)   Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, and will become effective and binding
upon the parties at such time as all of the signatories hereto have signed a
counterpart of this Agreement.  All counterparts so executed shall constitute
one Agreement binding on all of the parties hereto, notwithstanding that all of
the parties are not signatory to the same counterpart.  In all other respects,
this Agreement shall continue to remain in full force and effect.  Facsimile or

be deemed binding.

(k)   Remedies. As the violation by Consultant of the provisions of Sections 3
and/or 4 of this Agreement would cause irreparable injury to the Company, and
there is no adequate remedy at law for such violation, the Company shall have
the right to seek specific performance or injunctive relief against Consultant
without the posting of a bond or other security.  The remedies available with
respect to the rights and obligations under this Agreement are cumulative, and

PROTOKINETIX, INC.

November __, 2017

To Whom It May Concern:

Susan M. Woodward was appointed Chief Financial Officer of ProtoKinetix,
Incorporated on October 1, 2014.  During her time as Chief Financial Officer,
she played an important role in resolving the Cease Trade Order with the British
Columbia Securities Commission, in relocating the Company from Vancouver,
British Columbia to the United States, in setting up the accounting records and
policies and procedures necessary for the Company to function efficiently and
effectively and for assisting in the process of assuring compliance with
regulatory agencies.  During her tenure as Chief Financial Officer, all tax and
FBAR returns for the Company were filed from 1999 onward, all Forms 10-Q and
Forms 10-K were submitted on time, and audit fees steadily decreased due in part
to the quality and accuracy of the information that was provided to Davidson &
Company.
We wish her nothing but the best in her future endeavors.
