to such officers and employees of the Corporation or of a Subsidiary as the Board determines.


 


		3.2	Delegation to Committee



 


To the extent permitted by applicable law and the Corporation’s articles,
the Board may, from time to time, delegate to a committee (the “Committee”) of the Board, all or any of the powers
conferred on the Board under the Plan. In connection with such delegation, the Committee will exercise the powers delegated to it by the
Board in the manner and on the terms authorized by the Board. Any decision made or action taken by the Committee arising out of or in
connection with the administration or interpretation of this Plan in this context is final and conclusive. Notwithstanding any such delegation
or any reference to the Committee in this Plan, the Board may also take any action and exercise any powers that the Committee is authorized
to take or has power to exercise under this Plan.


 


		3.3	Eligibility



 


All Employees, Consultants and Directors are eligible to participate in
the Plan, subject to subsections 10.11(c) and 10.2(g). Eligibility to participate does not confer upon any Employee, Consultant or Director
any right to receive any grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan. The extent to which any Employee, Consultant or Director is entitled
to receive a grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan will be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board.


 


		3.4	Board Requirements



 


Any Award granted under this Plan shall be subject to the requirement that,
if at any time the Corporation shall determine that the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares issuable pursuant to such
Award upon any securities exchange or under any Securities Laws of any jurisdiction, or the consent or approval of Regulatory Authority,
is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the grant or exercise of such Award or the issuance or purchase of Shares thereunder,
such Award may not be accepted or exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval
shall have been effected or obtained on conditions acceptable to the Board. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Corporation
to apply for or to obtain such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval.


 


		3.5	Participation



 


The Board may only grant Awards to an Employee or Consultant if such Employee
or Consultant is a bona fide Employee or Consultant of the Corporation or a Subsidiary of the Corporation, as the case may be. The Board
may, in its sole discretion, grant the majority of the Awards to Insiders of the Corporation. The number of Shares that may be purchased
under any Award or the amount of any Award that shall be granted in any form that may result in the issuance of Shares will be determined
and fixed by the Board at the date of grant, provided that no more than 2% of the issued and outstanding Shares may be granted to any
one Consultant in any 12 month period.


 



     


    	-	-10-	 



    




		3.6	Number of Shares Reserved



 


Subject to adjustment as provided for in ARTICLE 12 and any subsequent
amendment to this Plan, the number of Shares reserved for issuance and which will be available for issuance pursuant to Awards granted

Common Shares, and (ii) 15% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as of August 26, 2020, representing 14,533,881 Common Shares,
which number shall include Common Shares issuable pursuant to options issued under the Stock Option Plan.



 


		(b)	if, and for so long as the Shares are listed on the TSX, shall not exceed 2.5% of the issued and outstanding
Shares of the Corporation from time to time.



 


The aggregate maximum number of Shares available under the Plan may be
used for any type of Award. Subject to the provisions and restrictions of this Plan, if any Award is cancelled, expired or otherwise terminated
for any reason whatsoever, the number of Shares in respect of which Award is cancelled, expired or otherwise terminated for any reason
whatsoever, as the case may be, will ipso facto again be immediately available for purchase pursuant to Awards granted under this Plan.
For greater certainty, the number of Shares in respect of which any Award is exercised will no longer be available for purchase pursuant
to future Awards granted under this Plan.


 


All grants of Awards under this Plan will be evidenced by Award Agreements.
Award Agreements will be subject to the applicable provisions of this Plan and will contain such provisions as are required by this Plan
and any other provisions that the Board may direct. Any one officer of the Corporation is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver,
for and on behalf of the Corporation, an Award Agreement to each Participant granted an Award pursuant to this Plan.


 


		3.7	Non-transferability of Awards



 


No assignment or transfer of Awards, whether voluntary, involuntary, by
operation of law or otherwise, vests any interest or right in such Awards whatsoever in any assignee or transferee (except that, if, and
for so long as the Shares are listed on the TSX, a Participant may transfer Awards to Permitted Assigns in a manner consistent with applicable
tax and securities laws) and immediately upon any assignment or transfer, or any attempt to make the same, such Awards will terminate
and be of no further force or effect. If any Participant has transferred Awards to a corporation pursuant to this Section 3.7, such Awards
will terminate and be of no further force or effect if at any time the transferor should cease to own all of the issued shares of such
corporation.


 


		3.8	Dividend Equivalents



 


		(a)	RSUs, PSUs and DSUs shall be credited with dividend equivalents in the form of additional RSUs, PSUs and
DSUs as of each dividend payment date in respect of which normal cash dividends are paid on Shares. Such dividend equivalents shall be
computed by dividing: (a) the amount obtained by multiplying the amount of the dividend declared and paid per Share by the number
of RSUs, PSUs and DSUs held by the Participant on the record date for the payment of such dividend, by (b) the Market Price at the close
of the first business day immediately following the dividend record date, with fractions computed to three decimal places. Dividend equivalents
credited to a Participant’s accounts shall vest in proportion to the RSUs, PSUs and DSUs to which they relate.



 



     


    	-	-11-	 



    




		(b)	The Board may in its discretion include in an Award Agreement applicable to an Other Share-Based Award
a dividend equivalent right entitling the Participant to receive amounts equal to the normal cash dividends that would be paid, during
the time such Award is outstanding and unexercised, on the Shares covered by such Award if such Shares were then outstanding and may decide
whether such payments shall be made in cash, in Shares or in another form, whether they shall be conditioned upon the vesting of the Award
to which they relate, the time or times at which they shall be made, and such other terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate.



 


		(c)	The foregoing does not obligate the Corporation to make dividends on Shares and nothing in this Plan shall
be interpreted as creating such an obligation.



 


		3.9	Permitted Assigns



 


If, and for so long as the Shares are listed on the TSX, grants of Awards
may be made to Permitted Assigns of Employees, Directors and Consultants and may be transferred by Employees, Directors and Consultants
to a Permitted Assign of an Employee, Director or Consultant as applicable, except for U.S. Taxpayers, if transfer to a Permitted Assign
would be prohibited by Section 409A of the Code. In any such case, the provisions of ARTICLE 10 shall apply to the Award as if the Award
was held by the Employee, Director or Consultant rather than such person’s Permitted Assign.


 


In the event of the death of the Permitted Assign, the Award shall be automatically
transferred to the Employee, Director or Consultant who effected the transfer of the Award to the deceased Permitted Assign.

are listed for trading is obtained, the Board may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of this Plan and such other terms and
conditions as the Board may prescribe, grant Restricted Shares to any Participant. The terms and conditions of each Restricted Shares
grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement, which agreements need not be identical. The number of Restricted Shares to be credited
to each Participant’s account shall be computed by dividing (a) the Award Value, by (b) the Market Price of a Share on the day immediately
preceding the Grant Date, with fractions rounded down to the nearest whole number.


 


Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 10.2, except as otherwise
set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, the Participant shall generally have the rights and privileges of a shareholder as to such
Restricted Shares, including the right to vote such Restricted Shares. Unless otherwise set forth in a Participant’s Award Agreement,
cash dividends and stock dividends, if any, with respect to the Restricted Shares shall be withheld by the Corporation for the Participant’s
account, and shall be subject to forfeiture until released, in each case, to be released at the same time and in the same proportion as
the lapse of restrictions on the Restricted Shares to which such dividends relate. Except as otherwise determined by the Board, no interest
will accrue or be paid on the amount of any dividends withheld.


 


		6.2	Restrictions on Transfer



 


In addition to any other restrictions set forth in a Participant’s
Award Agreement, until such time that the Restricted Period for the Restricted Shares has lapsed pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement,
which Restricted Period the Board may in its sole discretion accelerate at any time, the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, transfer,
pledge, or otherwise encumber the Restricted Shares. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Board shall have the
authority to remove any or all of the restrictions on the Restricted Shares whenever it may determine that, by reason of changes in applicable
laws or other changes in circumstances arising after the date of the Restricted Shares Award, such action is appropriate.

		6.3	Separation of Service



 


Except as may otherwise be provided by applicable laws and regulations
or in the applicable Award Agreement, in the event of a Participant’s “separation from service” (within the meaning
of Section 409A of the Code) with the Corporation or any of the Subsidiaries for any reason prior to the time that the Restricted
Period for the Participant’s Restricted Shares has lapsed, as soon as practicable following such Separation from Service, the Corporation
shall repurchase from the Participant, and the Participant shall sell, all of such Participant’s Restricted Shares for which the
Restricted Period has not lapsed at a purchase price equal to the cash amount, if any, paid by the Participant for the Restricted Shares,
or if no cash amount was paid by the Participant for the Restricted Shares, such Restricted Shares shall be forfeited by the Participant
to the Corporation for no consideration as of the date of such separation from service.

If, and for so long as (i) the Corporation is a Tier 1 issuer on the TSXV,

law (including, but not limited to, Section 409A of the Code), if any Participant is allowed an election to receive DSUs in lieu of other
compensation, such election must be made in writing prior to the start of the calendar year during which services will be performed for
which the compensation relates, or such later date as permitted in accordance with applicable law, including, but not limited to, Section
409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder. The number of DSUs to be credited to each Participant’s account shall be computed
by dividing (a) the Award Value, by (b) the Market Price of a Share on the day immediately preceding the Grant Date, with fractions rounded
down to the nearest whole number.


 


All Deferred Share Units received by a Participant shall be credited to
an account maintained for the Participant on the books of the Corporation, as of the Date of Grant. The award of Deferred Share Units
for a calendar year to a Participant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.


 


		7.2	Issuance of Shares



 


DSUs shall be settled on the date established in the Award Agreement (the
“Settlement Date”); provided, however that in no event shall a DSU Award be settled prior to the date of the applicable
Participant’s Separation from Service. If the Award Agreement does not establish a date for the settlement of the DSUs, then the
Settlement Date shall be the date of Separation from Service, subject to the delay that may be required under Section 13.9 below. On the
Settlement Date for any DSU:

such settlement as contemplated by Section 13.3; and



 


		(b)	the Corporation shall issue to the Participant one fully paid and non-assessable Share in respect of each

The Board may, from time to time, subject to the prior approval of the

Article 4, 5, 6 or 7 above and (2) which is denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based
on or related to, Shares (including, without limitation, securities convertible into Shares) as are deemed by the Board to be consistent
with the purposes of the Plan; provided, however, that such right will comply with applicable law. Subject to the terms of the Plan and
any applicable Award Agreement, the Board will determine the terms and conditions of Other Share-Based Awards. Shares or other securities
delivered pursuant to a purchase right granted under this Section 8.1 will be purchased for such consideration, which may be paid by such

case of an Employee, without breach of a Director’s fiduciary duties or without breach of contract by a Consultant, as applicable
(in each case as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) (whether such termination occurs with or without any or adequate notice

Corporation or an Affiliate, as the case may be, provides the Participant with written notification that the Participant’s employment
or term of service is terminated, notwithstanding that such date may be prior to the Termination Date.



 


		(h)	Unless the Board, in its sole discretion, otherwise determines, at any time and from time to time, Awards
are not affected by a change of employment arrangement within or among the Corporation or a Subsidiary for so long as the Participant
continues to be an employee of the Corporation or a Subsidiary, including without limitation a change in the employment arrangement of
a Participant whereby such Participant becomes a Director.

Share Capital Adjustments


 


		12.1	General



 


The existence of any Awards does not affect in any way the right or power
of the Corporation or its shareholders to make, authorize or determine any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or any other change
in the Corporation’s capital structure or its business, or any amalgamation, combination, arrangement, merger or consolidation involving
the Corporation, to create or issue any bonds, debentures, Shares or other securities of the Corporation or to determine the rights and
conditions attaching thereto, to effect the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation or any sale or transfer of all or any part of
its assets or business, or to effect any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise, whether or not
any such action referred to in this Section would have an adverse effect on this Plan or on any Award granted hereunder.


 


		12.2	Reorganization of Corporation’s Capital



 


Should the Corporation effect a subdivision or consolidation of Shares
or any similar capital reorganization or a payment of a stock dividend (other than a stock dividend that is in lieu of a cash dividend),
or should any other change be made in the capitalization of the Corporation that does not constitute a Change in Control and that would
warrant the amendment or replacement of any existing Awards in order to adjust the number of Shares that may be acquired on the vesting
of outstanding Awards and/or the terms of any Award in order to preserve proportionately the rights and obligations of the Participants
holding such Awards, the Board will, subject to the prior approval of the Exchange, authorize such steps to be taken as it may consider
to be equitable and appropriate to that end.


 


		12.3	Other Events Affecting the Corporation



 


In the event of an amalgamation, combination, arrangement, merger or other
transaction or reorganization involving the Corporation and occurring by exchange of Shares, by sale or lease of assets or otherwise,
that does not constitute a Change in Control and that warrants the amendment or replacement of any existing Awards in order to adjust:
(a) the number of Shares that may be acquired on the vesting of outstanding Awards and/or (b) the terms of any Award in order to preserve
proportionately the rights and obligations of the Participants holding such Awards, the Board will, subject to the prior approval of the
Exchange, authorize such steps to be taken as it may consider to be equitable and appropriate to that end.


 


		12.4	Immediate Acceleration of Awards



 


Where the Board determines that the steps provided in Sections 12.2 and
12.3 would not preserve proportionately the rights, value and obligations of the Participants holding such Awards in the circumstances
or otherwise determines that it is appropriate the Board may permit the immediate vesting of any unvested Awards and immediate lapse of
any Restricted Period.

		12.5	Issue by Corporation of Additional Shares



 


Except as expressly provided in this ARTICLE 12, neither the issue by the
Corporation of shares of any class or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any class, nor the conversion or exchange
of such shares or securities, affects, and no adjustment by reason thereof is to be made with respect to the number of Shares that may
be acquired as a result of a grant of Awards.


 


		12.6	Fractions



 


No fractional Shares will be issued pursuant to an Award. Accordingly,
if, as a result of any adjustment under Section 12.2, 12.3 or dividend equivalent, a Participant would become entitled to a fractional
Share, the Participant has the right to acquire only the adjusted number of full Shares and no payment or other adjustment will be made
with respect to the fractional Shares, which shall be disregarded.

Miscellaneous Provisions


 


		13.1	Legal Requirement



 


		(a)	The Corporation is not obligated to grant any Awards, issue any Shares or other securities, make any payments
or take any other action if, in the opinion of the Board, in its sole discretion, such action would constitute a violation by a Participant,
Director or the Corporation of any provision of any applicable statutory or regulatory enactment of any government or government agency
or the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed.



 


		(b)	Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all Awards and the issue of any Shares or other securities
by the Corporation pursuant to any Awards are subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan and compliance with the rules and policies
of all applicable Regulatory Authorities (including for greater certainty all applicable rules and policies of the Exchange) to the granting
of such Awards and to the issuance and distribution of such Shares or other securities by the Corporation, and to all applicable Securities
Laws.



 


		13.2	Participants’ Entitlement



 


Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, Awards previously granted under
this Plan are not affected by any change in the relationship between, or ownership of, the Corporation and an Affiliate. For greater certainty,
all grants of Awards remain are not affected by reason only that, at any time, an Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate.


 


		13.3	Withholding Taxes



 


The granting or vesting or lapse of the Restricted Period of each Award
under this Plan is subject to the condition that if at any time the Board determines, in its discretion, that the satisfaction of withholding
tax or other withholding liabilities is necessary or desirable in respect of such grant, vesting or lapse of the Restricted Period, such
action is not effective unless such withholding has been effected to the satisfaction of the Board. In such circumstances, the Board may
require that a Participant pay to the Corporation such amount as the Corporation or an Affiliate is obliged to remit to the relevant taxing
authority in respect of the granting or vesting or lapse of the Restricted Period of the Award. Any such additional payment is due no
later than the date on which any amount with respect to the Award is required to be remitted to the relevant tax authority by the Corporation
or an Affiliate, as the case may be.


 



     


    	-	-20-	 



    




		13.4	Rights of Participant



 


No Participant has any claim or right to be granted an Award and the granting
of any Award is not to be construed as giving a Participant a right to remain as an employee, consultant or director of the Corporation
or an Affiliate. No Participant has any rights as a shareholder of the Corporation in respect of Shares issuable pursuant to any Award
until the allotment and issuance to such Participant, or as such Participant may direct, of certificates representing such Shares.


 


		13.5	Other Incentive Awards



 


The Board shall have the right to grant other incentive awards based upon
Shares under this Plan to Participants in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and subject to regulatory approval, including
without limitation the approval of the Exchange (to the extent the Corporation has any securities listed on the particular exchange),
having such terms and conditions as the Board may determine, including without limitation the grant of Shares based upon certain conditions
and the grant of securities convertible into Shares.


 


		13.6	Blackout Period



 


If an Award expires during, or within five business days after, a trading
black-out period imposed by the Corporation to restrict trades in the Corporation’s securities, then, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Plan, the Award shall expire ten business days after the trading black-out period is lifted by the Corporation.


 


		13.7	Termination



 


The Board may, without notice or shareholder approval, terminate the Plan
on or after the date upon which no Awards remain outstanding.


 


		13.8	Amendment



 


		(a)	Subject to the rules and policies of any stock Exchange on which the Shares are listed and applicable
law, the Board may, without notice or shareholder approval, at any time or from time to time, amend the Plan for the purposes of:



 


		(i)	making any amendments to the general vesting provisions or Restricted Period of each Award;



 


		(ii)	making any amendments to the provisions set out in ARTICLE 10;



 


		(iii)	making any amendments to add covenants of the Corporation for the protection of Participants, as the case
may be, provided that the Board shall be of the good faith opinion that such additions will not be prejudicial to the rights or interests
of the Participants, as the case may be;



 



     


    	-	-21-	 



    




		(iv)	making any amendments not inconsistent with the Plan as may be necessary or desirable with respect to
matters or questions which, in the good faith opinion of the Board, having in mind the best interests of the Participants and Directors,
it may be expedient to make, including amendments that are desirable as a result of changes in law in any jurisdiction where a Participant
resides, provided that the Board shall be of the opinion that such amendments and modifications will not be prejudicial to the interests
of the Participants and Directors; or



 


		(v)	making such changes or corrections which, on the advice of counsel to the Corporation, are required for
the purpose of curing or correcting any ambiguity or defect or inconsistent provision or clerical omission or mistake or manifest error,
provided that the Board shall be of the opinion that such changes or corrections will not be prejudicial to the rights and interests of
the Participants.



 


		(b)	Subject to Section 11.1, the Board shall not materially adversely alter or impair any rights or increase
any obligations with respect to an Award previously granted under the Plan without the consent of the Participant, as the case may be.



 


		(c)	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, none of the following amendments shall be made to this
Plan without approval of the Exchange (to the extent the Corporation has any securities listed on the particular Exchange) and the approval
of shareholders in accordance with the requirements of such Exchange(s):



 


		(i)	amendments to the Plan which would increase the number of Shares issuable under the Plan, except as otherwise
provided pursuant to the provisions in the Plan, including Sections 12.2 and 12.3, which permit the Board to make adjustments in
the event of transactions affecting the Corporation or its capital;



 


		(ii)	amendments to the Plan which would increase the number of Shares issuable to Insiders, except as otherwise
provided pursuant to the provisions in the Plan, including Sections 12.2 and 12.3, which permit the Board to make adjustments in
the event of transactions affecting the Corporation or its capital; and



 


		(iii)	amendments to this Section 13.8.



 


Any amendment that would cause an Award held by a U.S. Taxpayer to fail
to comply with Section 409A of the Code shall be null and void ab initio.


 


		13.9	Section 409A of the Code



 


This Plan will be construed and interpreted to be exempt from, or where
not so exempt, to comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent required to preserve the intended tax consequences of this Plan.
The Corporation reserves the right to amend this Plan to the extent it reasonably determines is necessary in order to preserve the intended
tax consequences of this Plan in light of Section 409A of the Code and any regulations or guidance under that section. In no event will
the Corporation be responsible if Awards under this Plan result in adverse tax consequences to a U.S. Taxpayer under Section 409A of the
Code. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, in the case of any “specified employee” within the meaning
of Section 409A of the Code who is a U.S. Taxpayer, distributions of non-qualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code
made in connection with a “separation from service” within the meaning set forth in Section 409A of the Code may not be made
prior to the date which is 6 months after the date of separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the U.S. Taxpayer).
Any amounts subject to a delay in payment pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid as soon practicable following such 6-month
anniversary of such separation from service.


 



     


    	-	-22-	 



    




		13.10	Requirement of Notification of Election Under Section 83(b) of the Code



 


If a Participant, in connection with the acquisition of Restricted Shares
under the Plan, is permitted under the terms of the Award Agreement to make the election permitted under Section 83(b) of the Code (i.e.,
an election to include in gross income in the year of transfer the amounts specified in Section 83(b) of the Code notwithstanding the
continuing transfer restrictions) and the Participant makes such an election, the Participant shall notify the Corporation of such election
within ten (10) days of filing notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service, in addition to any filing and notification required
pursuant to regulations issued under Section 83(b) of the Code.


 


		13.11	Indemnification



 


Every member of the Board will at all times be indemnified and saved harmless
by the Corporation from and against all costs, charges and expenses whatsoever including any income tax liability arising from any such
indemnification, that such member may sustain or incur by reason of any action, suit or proceeding, taken or threatened against the member,
otherwise than by the Corporation, for or in respect of any act done or omitted by the member in respect of this Plan, such costs, charges
and expenses to include any amount paid to settle such action, suit or proceeding or in satisfaction of any judgment rendered therein.


 


		13.12	Participation in the Plan



 


The participation of any Participant in the Plan is entirely voluntary
and not obligatory and shall not be interpreted as conferring upon such Participant any rights or privileges other than those rights and
privileges expressly provided in the Plan. In particular, participation in the Plan does not constitute a condition of employment or engagement
nor a commitment on the part of the Corporation to ensure the continued employment or engagement of such Participant. The Plan does not
provide any guarantee against any loss which may result from fluctuations in the market value of the Shares. The Corporation does not
assume responsibility for the income or other tax consequences for the Participants and Directors and they are advised to consult with
their own tax advisors.

		13.13	International Participants



 


With respect to Participants who reside or work outside Canada and the
United States, the Board may, in its sole discretion, amend, or otherwise modify, without shareholder approval, the terms of the Plan
or Awards with respect to such Participants in order to conform such terms with the provisions of local law, and the Board may, where
appropriate, establish one or more sub-plans to reflect such amended or otherwise modified provisions.


 


		13.14	Effective Date

Plan was approved by the shareholders of the Corporation.
