the Subscriber's decision, or, if applicable, the decision of others for whom the undersigned is contracting hereunder, to enter into

disclosure requirements of any securities laws, including any requirement relating to the production and filing of audited financial statements

and issued; will be validly issued as fully paid as non-assessable Common Shares in the capital of the Issuer;



 


		(e)	the issuance and sale of the Common Shares by the Issuer does not and will not constitute a breach of
or default under the constating documents of the Issuer or any law, regulation, order or ruling applicable to the Issuer or any agreement,

		10.	Pooling or Escrow of COMMON Shares and Power of Attorney



 


10.1         The
Subscriber acknowledges that the Issuer is not currently a reporting issuer in any jurisdiction. If the Issuer completes an initial public
offering that results in the Common Shares or other securities in the capital of the Issuer becoming listed on a stock exchange in Canada
or the United States of America, or the Issuer completes a reverse takeover, statutory merger or amalgamation, arrangement, share exchange,
business combination or other similar transaction which results in a class of shares of the issuer resulting from such transaction being
listed (the "Resulting Issuer") on a stock exchange in Canada or the United States of America and the shareholders of
the Issuer receiving such listed securities of the Resulting Issuer and/or cash in exchange for their Common Shares (in each case, a "Liquidity
Event"), the Common Shares may be required to be pooled or escrowed, either at the request of the Issuer's selling agent or underwriter
in connection with the Liquidity Event, or pursuant to the rules of any stock exchange, securities commission or other securities
regulatory authority having jurisdiction, and the Subscriber agrees to sign any such pooling or escrow agreement and abide by any such
restrictions as may be so imposed.


 






     


    	 	- 9 -	 



    

 


10.2            In
furtherance of the covenant in Section 10.1, the Subscriber hereby irrevocably appoints the Chief Executive Officer or the President
of the Issuer, as exists at the applicable time (in any case, the "President"), as the Subscriber's attorney-in-fact,
and authorizes the President as the Subscriber's attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in the Subscriber's place and stead,
to approve and sign any pooling or escrow agreement, or any other document, on behalf of the Subscriber as the Issuer advises may be required
to provide for pooling or escrow of the Common Shares, or the approval and completion of any Liquidity Event, as the case may be, in the
event of a Liquidity Event or other transaction pursuant to which the Issuer may become listed, directly or indirectly, on any stock exchange.
This power of attorney is irrevocable, is coupled with an interest and has been given for valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy
of which are acknowledged by the Subscriber. This power of attorney and other rights and privileges granted hereunder will survive any
legal or mental incapacity, dissolution, bankruptcy or death of the Subscriber. This power of attorney extends to the heirs, executors,
administrators, other legal representatives and successors, transferees and assigns of the Subscriber. Any person dealing with the Issuer
may conclusively presume and rely upon the fact that any document, instrument or agreement executed by the President pursuant to this
power of attorney is authorized and binding on the Subscriber, without further inquiry. The Subscriber (on its own behalf and, if applicable,
on behalf of each beneficial purchaser on whose behalf it is contracting) agrees to be bound by any representations or actions made or
taken by the President pursuant to this power of attorney, and waives any and all defences that may be available to contest, negate or
disaffirm any action of the President taken in good faith under this power of attorney.

Guidance On Accredited Investor Exemptions
for Individuals


 


An individual accredited investor is an individual:


 


		(a)	who, either alone or with a spouse, beneficially owns financial assets (please see the guidance below
regarding what financial assets are) having an aggregate realizable value that. before taxes but net of any related liabilities (please
see the guidance below regarding what related liabilities are), exceeds $1,000,000;



 


		(b)	whose net income before taxes exceeded $200,000 in each of the 2 most recent calendar years or whose net
income before taxes combined with that of a spouse exceeded $300,000 in each of the 2 most recent calendar years and who, in either case,
reasonably expects to exceed that net income level in the current calendar year;



 


		(c)	who, either alone or with a spouse, has net assets (please see the guidance below regarding calculating
net assets) of at least $5,000,000; and



 






     


    	 	A-6 	 



    

 


		(d)	who beneficially owns financial assets (please see the guidance below regarding what financial assets
are) having an aggregate realizable value that, before taxes but net of any related liabilities (please see the guidance below regarding
what related liabilities are), exceeds $5,000,000.



 


The monetary thresholds above are intended to
create bright-line standards. Subscribers who do not satisfy these monetary thresholds do not qualify as accredited investors.


 


Spouses


 


Sections (a), (b) and (c) above are
designed to treat spouses as a single investing unit, so that either spouse qualifies as an accredited investor if the combined financial
assets of both spouses exceed $1,000,000, the combined net income of both spouses exceeds $300,000, or the combined net assets of both
spouses exceed $5,000,000. Section (d) above does not treat spouses as a single investing unit.


 


If the combined net income of both spouses does
not exceed $300,000, but the net income of one of the spouses exceeds $200,000, only the spouse whose net income exceeds $200,000 qualifies
as an accredited investor.


 


Financial Assets and Related Liabilities


 


For the purposes of sections (a) and (d) above,
"financial assets" means: (1) cash, (2) securities, or (3) a contract of insurance, a deposit or an evidence
of a deposit that is not a security for the purposes of securities legislation. These financial assets are generally liquid or relatively
easy to liquidate. The value of a subscriber's personal residence is not included in a calculation of financial assets.


 


The calculation of financial assets must exclude
"related liabilities", meaning: (1) liabilities incurred or assumed for the purpose of financing the acquisition
or ownership of financial assets, or (2) liabilities that are secured by financial assets.


 


As a general matter, it should not be difficult
to determine whether financial assets are beneficially owned by an individual, an individual's spouse, or both, in any particular instance.
However, in the case where financial assets are held in a trust or in another type of investment vehicle for the benefit of an individual,
there may be questions as to whether the individual beneficially owns the financial assets. The following factors are indicative of beneficial
ownership of financial assets:


 


		•	physical or constructive possession of evidence of ownership of the financial asset;



 


		•	entitlement to receipt of any income generated by the financial asset;



 


		•	risk of loss of the value of the financial asset; and



 


		•	the ability to dispose of the financial asset or otherwise deal with it as the individual sees fit.



 


For example, securities held in a self-directed
RRSP for the sole benefit of an individual are beneficially owned by that individual.


 


In general, financial assets in a spousal RRSP
can be included for the purposes of the $1,000,000 financial asset test in section (a) above because section (a) takes into
account financial assets owned beneficially by a spouse. However, financial assets in a spousal RRSP cannot be included for purposes of
the $5,000,000 financial asset test in section (d) above.


 






     


    	 	A-7 	 



    

 


Financial assets held in a group RRSP under which
the individual does not have the ability to acquire the financial assets and deal with them directly do not meet the beneficial ownership
requirements in either sections (a) or (d) above.


 


Net Assets


 


For the purposes of section (c) above, "net
assets" means all of a subscriber's total assets minus all of the subscriber's total liabilities. Accordingly, for the purposes
of the net asset test, the calculation of total assets includes the value of a subscriber's personal residence, and the calculation of
total liabilities includes the amount of any liability (such as a mortgage) in respect of the subscriber's personal residence.


 


To calculate a subscriber's net assets under the
net asset test, subtract the subscriber's total liabilities from the subscriber's total assets. The value attributed to assets should
reasonably reflect their estimated fair value. Income tax is considered a liability if the obligation to pay it is outstanding at the
time of the distribution of the security to the subscriber by the Issuer.


 


Guidance On Accredited Investor Exemptions
for Corporations, Trusts and Other Entities


 


Accredited investors that are corporations, trusts
