2014 Stock Option Plan 

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 

This STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated
as of the__________ day of __________, 201_____is made by and between
ENERTOPIA CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation (the “Corporation”),
and_______________ (the “Optionee,” which term as used herein
shall be deemed to include any successor to the Optionee by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution, unless the context shall otherwise require).


BACKGROUND 

Pursuant to the Corporation’s 2014 Stock Option Plan (the
“Plan”), the Corporation, acting through the Committee of the Board of
Directors (if a committee has been formed to administer the Plan) or its entire
Board of Directors (if no such committee has been formed) responsible for
administering the Plan (in either case, referred to herein as the
“Committee”), approved the issuance to the Optionee,_______________
share options at $__________ per share, effective as of the date
set forth above, of a stock option to purchase shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation at the price (the “Option Price”) set forth in the attached
Notice of Grant (which is expressly incorporated herein and made a part hereof,
the “Notice of Grant”), upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises
and undertakings hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:


1.         
Option; Option Price. On behalf of the Corporation, the Committee
hereby grants to the Optionee the option (the “Option”) to purchase,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan (which is
incorporated by reference herein and which in all cases shall control in the
event of any conflict with the terms, definitions and provisions of this
Agreement), that number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation set forth
in the Notice of Grant, at an exercise price per share equal to the Option Price
as is set forth in the Notice of Grant (the “Optioned Shares”). If
designated in the Notice of Grant as an “incentive stock option,” the Option is
intended to qualify for Federal income tax purposes as an “incentive stock
option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. A copy of the Plan as in
effect on the date hereof has been supplied to the Optionee, and the Optionee
hereby acknowledges receipt thereof. 

2.         
Term. The term (the “Option Term”) of the Option
shall commence on the date of this Agreement and shall expire on the Expiration
Date set forth in the Notice of Grant unless such Option shall theretofore have
been terminated in accordance with the terms of the Notice of Grant, this
Agreement or of the Plan. 

1 




3.         
Time of Exercise.

(a)     Unless accelerated in the
discretion of the Committee or as otherwise provided herein, the Option shall
become exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set
out in the Notice of Grant. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5 and 8
hereof, shares as to which the Option becomes exercisable pursuant to the
foregoing provisions may be purchased at any time thereafter prior to the
expiration or termination of the Option. 

(b)     Anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent the Option is intended
to be an Incentive Stock Option, the Option shall not be exercisable as an
Incentive Stock Option, and shall be treated as a Non-Statutory Option, to the
extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value on the date hereof of all stock with
respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by
the Optionee during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other plans of the
Corporation, its parent and its subsidiaries, if any) exceeds $100,000. 

4.         
Termination of Option. 

(a)     The Optionee may exercise the
Option (but only to the extent the Option was exercisable at the time of
termination of the Optionee’s Business Relationship with the Corporation, its
parent or any of its subsidiaries) at any time within three (3) months following
the termination of the Optionee’s Business Relationship with the Corporation,
its parent or any of its subsidiaries, but not later than the scheduled
expiration date. If the termination of the Optionee’s employment is for cause or
is otherwise attributable to a breach by the Optionee of an employment,
non-competition, non-disclosure or other material agreement, the Option shall
expire immediately upon such termination. If the Optionee is a natural person
who dies while in a Business Relationship with the Corporation, its parent or
any of its subsidiaries, this option may be exercised, to the extent of the
number of shares with respect to which the Optionee could have exercised it on
the date of his death, by his estate, personal representative or beneficiary to
whom this option has been assigned pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan, at any
time within the twelve (12) month period following the date of death. If the
Optionee is a natural person whose Business Relationship with the Corporation,
its parent or any of its subsidiaries is terminated by reason of his disability,
this Option may be exercised, to the extent of the number of shares with respect
to which the Optionee could have exercised it on the date the Business
Relationship was terminated, at any time within the twelve (12) month period
following the date of such termination, but not later than the scheduled
expiration date. At the expiration of such three (3) or twelve (12) month period
or the scheduled expiration date, whichever is the earlier, this Option shall
terminate and the only rights hereunder shall be those as to which the Option
was properly exercised before such termination. 

(b)     Anything contained herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Option shall not be affected by any change of
duties or position of the Optionee (including a transfer to or from the
Corporation, its parent or any of its subsidiaries) so long as the Optionee
continues in a Business Relationship with the Corporation, its parent or any of
its subsidiaries. 

2 




5.         
Procedure for Exercise. 

(a)     The Option may be exercised, from
time to time, in whole or in part (but for the purchase of whole shares only),
by delivery of a written notice in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto
(the “Notice”) from the Optionee to the Secretary of the Corporation,
which Notice shall: 

(a)     state that the Optionee elects to
exercise the Option; 

(b)     state the number of shares with
respect to which the Option is being exercised (the “Optioned Shares”);


(c)     state the method of payment for the
Optioned Shares pursuant to Section 5(b); 

(d)     state the date upon which the
Optionee desires to consummate the purchase of the Optioned Shares (which date
must be prior to the termination of such Option and no later than 30 days from
the delivery of such Notice); 

(e)     include any representations of the
Optionee required under Section 8(b); 

(f)     if the Option shall be exercised in
accordance with Section 9 of the Plan by any person other than the Optionee,
include evidence to the satisfaction of the Committee of the right of such
person to exercise the Option; and 

(b)     Payment of the Option Price for the
Optioned Shares shall be made either (i) by delivery of cash or a check to the
order of the Corporation in an amount equal to the Option Price, (ii) if
approved by the Committee, by delivery to the Corporation of shares of Common
Stock of the Corporation having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise
equal in amount to the Option Price of the options being exercised, (iii) by any
other means which the Board of Directors determines are consistent with the
purpose of the Plan and with applicable laws and regulations (including, without
limitation, the provisions of Rule 16b-3 and Regulation T promulgated by the
Federal Reserve Board), or (iv) by any combination of such methods of
payment.

(c)     The Corporation shall issue a stock
certificate in the name of the Optionee (or such other person exercising the
Option in accordance with the provisions of Section 9 of the Plan) for the
Optioned Shares as soon as practicable after receipt of the Notice and payment
of the aggregate Option Price for such shares. 

6.         
No Rights as a Stockholder. The Optionee shall not have any
privileges of a stockholder of the Corporation with respect to any Optioned
Shares until the date of issuance of a stock certificate pursuant to Section
5(c). 

7.         
Adjustments. The Plan contains provisions covering
the treatment of options in a number of contingencies such as stock splits and
mergers. Provisions in the Plan for adjustment with respect to stock subject to
options and the related provisions with respect to successors to the business of
the Corporation are hereby made applicable hereunder and are incorporated herein by reference. In general, the Optionee should not assume
that options would survive the acquisition of the Corporation. 

3 





8.         
Additional Provisions Related to Exercise.

(a)     The Option shall be exercisable
only on such date or dates and during such period and for such number of shares
of Common Stock as are set forth in this Agreement. 

(b)     To exercise the Option, the
Optionee shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 5 hereof. Upon the
exercise of the Option at a time when there is not in effect a registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), relating to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Option, the Committee in its discretion may, as a condition to the exercise of
the Option, require the Optionee (i) to execute an Investment Representation
Statement substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto and
(ii) to make such other representations and warranties as are deemed appropriate
by counsel to the Corporation.

(c)     Stock certificates representing
shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of Options that have not been
registered under the Securities Act shall, if required by the Committee, bear an
appropriate restrictive legend referring to the Securities Act. No shares of
Common Stock shall be issued and delivered upon the exercise of the Option
unless and until the Corporation and/or the Optionee shall have complied with
all applicable Federal or state registration, listing and/or qualification
requirements and all other requirements of law or of any regulatory agencies
having jurisdiction. 

(d)     Subject to the provisions of this
Agreement and the Plan and subject to compliance with any applicable securities
laws and the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange, the Options shall be
exercisable, in full or in part, at any time after vesting, until termination,
provided that if the Optionee is subject to the reporting and liability
provisions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, the Optionee shall be precluded from selling, transferring or
otherwise disposing of any Optioned Shares during the six months immediately
following the grant of the Options unless an exemption is available to such
restrictions. If less than all of the Optioned Shares included in the vested
portion of any Options are purchased, the remainder may be purchased at any
subsequent time prior to the Expiry Date. Only whole Optioned Shares may be
issued pursuant to the exercise of any Options, and to the extent that any
Option covers less than one Optioned Share, it is not exercisable. 

9.         
No Evidence of Employment or Service. Nothing contained in
the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue
in a Business Relationship with the Corporation, its parent or any of its
subsidiaries or interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation, its
parent or its subsidiaries (subject to the terms of any separate agreement to
the contrary) to terminate the Optionee’s Business Relationship or to increase
or decrease the Optionee’s compensation at any time. 

10.         
Restriction on Transfer. The Option may not be transferred,
pledged, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of in any way by the
Optionee, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may be
exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee. If the Optionee dies, the Option shall thereafter be
exercisable, during the period specified in Section 4, by his executors or
administrators to the full extent to which the Option was exercisable by the
Optionee at the time of his death. The Option shall not be subject to execution,
attachment or similar process. Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge,
hypothecation or other disposition of the Option contrary to the provisions
hereof, and the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon the
Option, shall be null and void and without effect. The words “transfer” and
“dispose” include without limitation the making of any sale, exchange,
assignment, gift, security interest, pledge or other encumbrance, or any
contract therefor, any voting trust or other agreement or arrangement with
respect to the transfer of any interest, beneficial or otherwise, in the Option,
the creation of any other claim thereto or any other transfer or disposition
whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary, affecting the right, title,
interest or possession with respect to the Option. 

4 





11.         
Specific Performance. Optionee expressly agrees that the
Corporation will be irreparably damaged if the provisions of this Agreement and
the Plan are not specifically enforced. Upon a breach or threatened breach of
the terms, covenants and/or conditions of this Agreement or the Plan by the
Optionee, the Corporation shall, in addition to all other remedies, be entitled
to a temporary or permanent injunction, without showing any actual damage,
and/or decree for specific performance, in accordance with the provisions hereof
and thereof. The Board of Directors shall have the power to determine what
constitutes a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement or the Plan. Any
such determinations shall be final and conclusive and binding upon the Optionee.


12.         
Disqualifying Dispositions. To the extent the Option is intended
to be an Incentive Stock Option, and if the Optioned Shares are disposed of
within two years following the date of this Agreement or one year following the
issuance thereof to the Optionee (a “Disqualifying Disposition”), the
Optionee shall, immediately prior to such Disqualifying Disposition, notify the
Corporation in writing of the date and terms of such Disqualifying Disposition
and provide such other information regarding the Disqualifying Disposition as
the Corporation may reasonably require. 

13. Notices. All notices or other
communications which are required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and
sufficient if (i) personally delivered or sent by telecopy, (ii) sent by
nationally-recognized overnight courier or (iii) sent by registered or certified

warrants to and covenants with the Corporation (which representations,

3.     Rights as Shareholder; Shares
Subject to Stockholders Agreement. Until the stock certificate evidencing
such Shares is issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the
Corporation or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Corporation), no right
to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist
with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The

by the Corporation in writing, the Shares shall automatically become subject to

Corporation may assign any of its rights under the Stock Option Agreement to
single or multiple assignees (who may be stockholders, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Corporation), and this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the
Corporation. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Stock
Option Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding upon the Optionee and his or
her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws
of the State of Nevada applicable to contracts made and to be wholly performed
therein, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles. Should any

unenforceable, the other provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and
shall remain enforceable.

or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively
given if given in the manner specified in the Stock Option Agreement.

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT 

	OPTIONEE: 	 
    
	 	 
	CORPORATION: 	ENERTOPIA CORPORATION 
	 	 
	SECURITY: 	Common
      Stock 
	 	 
	AMOUNT: 	 
    
	 	 
	DATE: 	 
    


In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities,
the undersigned Optionee represents to the Corporation the following: 

(a)     The Optionee is aware of the
Corporation’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired
sufficient information about the Corporation to reach an informed and
knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. The Optionee is acquiring
these Securities for investment for the Optionee’s own account only and not with
a view to, or for resale in connection with, a “distribution” thereof within the
meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).


(b)     The Optionee acknowledges and
understands that the Securities constitute “restricted securities” under the
Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance
upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other
things, the bona fide nature of the Optionee’s investment intent as expressed
herein. In this connection, the Optionee understands that, in the view of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory basis for such exemption may
be unavailable if the Optionee’s representation was predicated solely upon a
present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period
specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or
decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year or
any other fixed period in the future. The Optionee further understands that the
Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered
under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.
The Optionee further acknowledges and understands that the Corporation is under
no obligation to register the Securities. The Optionee understands that the
certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which
prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such
registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Corporation and other legends required under the applicable state or federal
securities laws. 

Signature of Optionee:
