                                    OF THE FIRST
        PART

      AND:

      

      

      E&J CONSULTING LLC, a limited liability company existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, through the person of Lee Leiderman, an individual with

               OF THE SECOND PART

      

      

      FOR VALUABLE CONSIDERATION it is hereby agreed as follows:

        

      

      1. The Consultant shall provide consulting services to the Company exclusively through the person of Lee Leiderman, in
        his capacity as chief financial officer of the Company. The Consultant shall serve the Company (and/or such subsidiary or subsidiaries of the company as the Company may from time to time require) in such consulting capacity or capacities as may
        from time to time be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) acting reasonably and shall perform such duties and exercise such powers as may from time to time be
        determined by resolution of the Board, as an independent contractor.

      

      

      2. The term of this Agreement shall be from the date hereof and shall continue until terminated in accordance with the
        termination provisions herein (the “Term”).

      

      

      3. The base fee payable to the Consultant for the services performed hereunder shall be US$250,000 per year, plus any
        applicable goods and services taxes, payable in equal monthly amounts in advance on the first business day of each calendar month during the Term. In addition, (i) the Consultant shall be entitled to a one-time signing bonus of US$25,000 payable by
        the Company promptly after the Effective Date (the “Signing Bonus”), and (ii) each calendar year during the Term, the Consultant will be eligible to receive a discretionary performance-based bonus (with a
        target bonus of 50% of the Consultant’s annual base fee). The Consultant’s payout for the first calendar year ending after the date hereof, if any, shall be prorated based on the date of this Agreement. The actual amount of the Consultant’s bonus
        will be determined by the Board and will take into consideration the Consultant’s performance as well as the Company’s overall financial performance. No part or pro rata payment will be provided for part years of service, except as specifically
        provided above. If, as at the payout date, (i) this Agreement has terminated, or (ii) the Consultant is under notice of termination, the Consultant will not be entitled to any bonus for the performance period or any period thereafter.

      4. Promptly after the Effective Date, the Consultant shall be granted 166,667 stock options to acquire 166,667 common
        shares in the capital of the Company (the “Options”). The Options will be issued in accordance with the Company’s stock option plan (the “Plan”) and the rules of the
        NASDAQ Capital Markets (“Nasdaq”), will have an exercise price per Option equal to the last closing price of the common shares on the Nasdaq before the date of the grant, will expire five years from the date
        that the Options are granted, and will vest one year following the date of the grant. The common shares issued pursuant to the exercise of Options will be subject to a four month hold period from the date of the grant of Options. The Consultant
        shall also be entitled to grants of Company stock options as the Board may from time to time determine, commensurate with the Consultant’s position, and in accordance with the Plan and all applicable stock exchange and regulatory approvals.

      

      

      5. The Consultant shall be responsible for:

        owned by or held for the Company and/or any other corporation or company in like relation to the Company and include any corporation or company in like relation to a subsidiary.

      

      

      7. During the Term, the Consultant shall provide the consulting services to the Company, and the Consultant shall be

        Company or any subsidiary of the Company.

       

      

      12. The Company may terminate this Agreement without cause by making a lump sum payment to the Consultant that is
        equivalent to 12-months of base fees payable to the Consultant within thirty (30) days of the termination date. The Consultant shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement without cause by delivering notice in writing to the Company no later than

        termination date.

      

      

      13. The services to be performed by the Consultant pursuant hereto are personal in character, and neither this
        Agreement nor any rights or benefits arising thereunder are assignable by the Consultant without the previous written consent of the Company.

      

      

      14. The Consultant expressly agrees and represents that the services to be performed by the Consultant pursuant hereto
        are not in contravention of any non-compete or non-solicitation obligations by which the Consultant is bound.

      

      

      15. The Company shall indemnify and hold the Consultant harmless to the fullest extent allowed by the law from and
        against all claims, actions, losses, expenses, costs or damages of every nature and kind whatsoever the Consultant may suffer by reason of the fact that the Consultant is or was a consultant, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any
        subsidiary of the Company, or by reason of any act done or not done by the Consultant in any such capacity or capacities, provided that the Consultant acted in good faith, in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest
        of the Company and its subsidiaries.

      

      

      16. It is expressly agreed, represented and understood that the parties hereto have entered into an arms-length
        independent contract for the rendering of consulting services and that the Consultant is not the employee, agent or servant or the Company.  Further, this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute or create any partnership, joint venture,
        master-servant, employer-employee, principal-agent or any other relationship apart from an independent contractor and contractee relationship.  Payments made to the Consultant hereunder shall be made without deduction at source by the Company for
        the purpose of withholding income tax, unemployment insurance payments or Canada Pension Plan contributions or the like.

        to the Consultant personally or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Consultant at the last residential address known to the Secretary of the Company.  Any such notice mailed as aforesaid shall be deemed to have been
        received by the Consultant on the first business day following the date of mailing.  Any notice in writing required or permitted to be given to the Company hereunder shall be given by registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Company at
        the address shown on page 1 hereof.  Any such notice mailed as aforesaid shall be deemed to have been received by the Company on the first business day following the date of the mailing.  Any such address for the giving of notices hereunder may be
        changed by notice in writing given hereunder.

      

      

      18. The provisions of this Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of
        each of the Company and the Consultant.  For this purpose, the terms “successors” and “assigns” shall include any person, firm or corporation or other entity which at any time, whether by merger, purchase or otherwise, shall acquire all or
        substantially all of the assets or business of the Company or Consultant, as applicable.

        to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario provided that nothing herein contained shall prevent the Company from proceeding at its election against the Consultant in the courts of any other province or country.
