**Attention:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;** Mr. Christian Kargl-Simard (Chief Executive Officer and Director)

Dear Sir:

Scotia Capital Inc. ("**Scotia**"), Canaccord Genuity Corp. ("**Canaccord**") and ATB Capital Markets Corp. ("**Cormark**" and, together with Scotia and Canaccord, the "**Joint Bookrunners**"), as joint bookrunners, together with Haywood Securities Inc., Titan Partners Group LLC, a division of American Capital Partners, LLC, Maxim Group LLC and Red Cloud Securities Inc. (collectively with the Joint Bookrunners, the "**Underwriters**" and, each individually, an "**Underwriter**") hereby severally, and not jointly, nor jointly and severally, offer and agree to purchase, in the respective percentages set out in paragraph 2.16(c) of this Agreement (as defined herein), on a "bought deal" basis, or alternatively and without prejudice to the Underwriters' obligation to purchase, to arrange, as agent for substituted purchasers (the "**Substituted Purchasers**") in the Selling Jurisdictions (as defined herein) to purchase, from Blue Moon Metals Inc. (the "**Corporation**"), and the Corporation hereby agrees to issue and sell to the Underwriters, 10,000,000 Common Shares (as defined herein) (the "**Base Shares**"), at a price of C$10.00 per Base Share ("**Offering Price**") for an aggregate purchase price of C$100,000,000, upon and subject to the terms and conditions contained herein. For greater certainty, the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase the Base Shares shall be reduced by an amount equal to the number of Base Shares purchased by any such Substituted Purchasers. After a reasonable effort has been made to sell all of the Base Shares at the Offering Price, the Underwriters may subsequently reduce the selling price to investors from time to time, provided that any such reduction in the Offering Price shall not affect the aggregate gross proceeds less the Commission (as defined herein) payable to the Corporation.

In addition to the Offering (as defined herein) of Base Shares, the Corporation hereby grants an option (the "**Over-Allotment Option**") to the Underwriters, entitling the Underwriters to purchase, on and subject to the terms contained herein, up to an aggregate of 1,300,000 additional Common Shares (the "**Optioned Shares**" and, together with the Base Shares, the "**Offered Shares**") at the Offering Price. The Over-Allotment Option is exercisable in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, for a period of 30 days after and including the Closing Date (as defined herein). If the Joint Bookrunners, on behalf of the Underwriters, elect to exercise such Over-Allotment Option, the Joint Bookrunners shall notify the Corporation in writing not less than 48 hours prior to the proposed Option Closing Date (as defined herein), which notice shall specify the number of Optioned Shares to be purchased by the Underwriters pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option and the date (which date may be the same date as the Closing Date) (the "**Option Closing Date**") on which such Optioned Shares are to be purchased, which Option Closing Date shall be no earlier than the date that is 48 hours following receipt of the notice. The Over-Allotment Option may be exercised solely for the purpose of covering the Underwriters' over-allocation position (as such concept is defined in NI 41-101(as defined herein)) of the Underwriters and for market stabilization purposes. If any Optioned Shares are purchased pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option, each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, nor jointly and severally, to purchase, the percentage of such Optioned Shares equal to the percentage set out opposite the name of such Underwriter in paragraph 2.16(c) of this Agreement. By executing this Agreement, the Underwriters hereby represent and warrant to the Corporation that the Underwriters' over-allocation position is at least equal to 1,300,000 Optioned Shares. The Underwriters shall be under no obligation whatsoever to exercise the Over-Allotment Option in whole or in part.

------

The Corporation represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Underwriters that the Corporation will as soon as possible, and in any event no later than 10:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on April 29, 2026, prepare and file (i) the Canadian Prospectus Supplement in a form approved by the Underwriters, acting reasonably, in accordance with the Passport System, with the Principal Regulator and with the Canadian Securities Regulators in each of the Qualifying Jurisdictions and (ii) the U.S. Prospectus Supplement in a form approved by the Underwriters, acting reasonably, with the SEC on EDGAR.

The Corporation will use reasonably commercial efforts to file or submit, as applicable, with the TSXV and the Nasdaq all required documents and pay all required fees, and do all things required by the rules and policies of the TSXV and Nasdaq, in order to obtain the conditional acceptance of the Offering and/or the listing of the Offered Shares prior to the Closing Date, as applicable.

The Corporation will allow the Underwriters and their representatives the opportunity to conduct all due diligence which the Underwriters may reasonably require in order to fulfil their obligations as underwriters under applicable Securities Laws and in order to enable them to responsibly execute the certificates required to be executed by them at the end of each of the Canadian Offering Documents, as applicable; and without limiting the scope of the due diligence inquiries the Underwriters may conduct, the Corporation will participate and cause the Corporation Auditors, representative authors of each of the Technical Reports who are, "qualified persons" (as such term is defined in NI 43-101) (the "**Qualified Persons**") and legal counsel to participate in one or more due diligence sessions to be held prior to the completion of the distribution of the Offered Shares, including, for greater certainty, in connection with any exercise of the Over-Allotment Option.

<br> **2.3**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Distribution and Certain Obligations of the Underwriters.**

(a) The Underwriters shall, and shall require any investment dealer or broker (other than the Underwriters) with which the Underwriters have a relationship in respect of the distribution of the Offered Shares or who are otherwise offered selling group participation by the Underwriters (each, a "**Selling Firm**") to agree to, comply with the Securities Laws in connection with the distribution of the Offered Shares and shall offer the Offered Shares for sale to the public directly and through Selling Firms upon the terms and conditions set out in the Offering Documents and this Agreement. The Underwriters shall, and shall require any Selling Firm to agree to, offer for sale to the public and sell the Offered Shares only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale or sold. The Underwriters shall: (i) use all commercially reasonable efforts to complete and to cause each Selling Firm to complete the distribution of the Offered Shares as soon as reasonably practicable; and (ii) promptly notify the Corporation when, in their opinion, the Underwriters and the Selling Firms have ceased distribution of the Offered Shares and provide a breakdown of the number of Offered Shares distributed in each of the Qualifying Jurisdictions and the United States where such breakdown is required for the purpose of calculating fees payable to the Canadian Securities Regulators and, as applicable, to the SEC.

(b) The Underwriters shall, and shall require any Selling Firm to agree to, distribute the Offered Shares in a manner which complies with and observes all Securities Laws in each Selling Jurisdiction into and from which they may offer to sell the Offered Shares or distribute the Offering Documents in connection with the distribution of the Offered Shares and will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell or deliver any Offered Shares or deliver the Offering Documents to any Person in any Selling Jurisdiction other than in the Qualifying Jurisdictions and the United States except in a manner which will not require the Corporation to comply with the registration, prospectus, filing, continuous disclosure or other similar requirements under the applicable Securities Laws of such other Selling Jurisdictions or pay any additional governmental filing fees which relate to such other Selling Jurisdictions (other than in connection with the Offering). Subject to the foregoing, the Underwriters and any Selling Firm shall be entitled to offer and sell the Offered Shares in such other Selling Jurisdictions in accordance with any applicable securities and other laws in such other Selling Jurisdictions in which the Underwriters and/or Selling Firms offer the Offered Shares provided that the Corporation is not required to file a prospectus, registration statement or similar document or cause the Corporation to be subject to ongoing reporting obligations in such other jurisdictions, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) The Underwriters shall be entitled to assume that the Offered Shares are qualified for distribution in any Qualifying Jurisdiction where a receipt or similar document for the Canadian Base Shelf Prospectus shall have been obtained from the applicable Canadian Securities Regulators (including the Passport Receipt for the Canadian Base Shelf Prospectus issued under the Passport System), and where the filing of the Canadian Prospectus Supplement shall have been made, unless otherwise notified in writing.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Underwriter will be liable to the Corporation with respect to a default, or any act or omission, as applicable, by another Underwriter, such other Underwriter's affiliates or any Selling Firm appointed by such other Underwriter.

It is understood that the Underwriters may waive, in whole or in part, or extend the time for compliance with, any of such conditions without prejudice to the rights of the Underwriters in respect of any such conditions or any other or subsequent breach or non-compliance, provided that to be binding on an Underwriter any such waiver or extension must be in writing and signed by such Underwriter.

<br> **2.14**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Termination Events.**

Each Underwriter shall be entitled, at its sole option, to terminate and cancel, without any liability on its part or on the part of the other Underwriters, its obligations under this Agreement, including relating to the Offered Shares, by written notice to that effect given to the Corporation at or prior to the Closing Time if, during the period from the date hereof to the Closing, any of the following occurs:

(a) any order to cease or suspend trading in any securities of the Corporation, or prohibiting or restricting the distribution of the Offered Shares is made, or any proceeding is announced or commenced or threatened for the making of any such order, by any Governmental Authority, and has not been rescinded, revoked or withdrawn;

(b) any inquiry, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding (whether formal or informal) in relation to the Corporation is announced, commenced or threatened by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Corporation, or there is a change or proposed change in law, regulation or policy or the interpretation or administration thereof, which, in the sole opinion of the Underwriters, or any one of them, acting reasonably, would materially and adversely affect the distribution or trading of the Offered Shares;

(c) here should develop, escalate, occur or come into effect or existence, or be announced, any event, action, state, condition or occurrence of national or international consequence, any military conflict, civil insurrection, act of terrorism, war or like event, or a governmental action, law, regulation or inquiry, which, in the sole opinion of the Underwriters, or any one of them, acting reasonably, materially adversely affects or involves, or will materially adversely affect or involve, the financial markets in Canada or the United States or the business, operations or affairs of the Corporation or the Corporation Subsidiaries taken as a whole;

(d) there should occur or be discovered any material change or development (actual or threatened) in the operations, capital or condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations or business of the Corporation or the properties, assets, liabilities or obligations (absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) of the Corporation, which, in the sole opinion of the Underwriters, or any one of them, acting reasonably, has or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the market price of the Offered Shares;

(e) the Corporation is in breach of, default under or non-compliance with any material term or condition of this Agreement or any representation or warranty given by the Corporation in this Agreement becomes false in any material respect; or

(f) the Underwriters shall become aware of any material information with respect to the Corporation which had not been publicly disclosed or disclosed in writing to the Underwriters prior to the date hereof, which, in the sole opinion of the Underwriters or any one of them, acting reasonably, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the market price or value of the Offered Shares.

**2.15**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Exercise of Termination Rights.**

Any of the Underwriters shall be entitled to terminate and cancel its obligations hereunder in accordance with Sections 2.13 or 2.14 by written notice to that effect given to the Corporation and the other Underwriters at any time prior to the Closing, provided that neither the giving nor the failure to give any such notice shall in any way affect the Underwriters' (or any one of their) entitlement to exercise such rights at any time through to the Closing Time. If an Underwriter exercises its right to terminate this Agreement, then the Corporation will immediately issue a press release, except if the other Underwriters shall purchase such Underwriter's allocation of Offered Shares pursuant to Section 2.16. If this Agreement is terminated by any of the Underwriters pursuant to Sections 2.13 or 2.14, there shall be no further liability on the part of such Underwriter or of the Corporation to such Underwriter, except in respect of any liability which may have arisen against the Corporation prior to such termination or may arise against the Corporation after such termination in respect of acts or omissions prior to such termination or except under Section 2.18 (Indemnity) and Section 2.19 (Expenses).

<br> <u>Note:</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) A 5.00% work-fee is payable from the funds representing the Commission to the Joint Bookrunners to be split in equal shares.

(d) In the event that an Underwriter shall at the Closing Time fail to purchase its percentage of the Offered Shares as provided in 2.16(c) (a "**Non-Purchasing Underwriter**"), whether upon the exercise of any termination rights or otherwise, and the percentage of Offered Shares that have not been purchased (or arranged for purchase) by the Non-Purchasing Underwriter represents 10.0% or less of the aggregate Offered Shares, the other Underwriters shall be severally, and not jointly, nor jointly and severally, obligated, to purchase (or arrange for purchase) all of the Offered Shares that the Non-Purchasing Underwriter has failed to purchase (or arrange for purchase); the Underwriters shall purchase (or arrange for purchase) such Offered Shares pro rata to their respective percentages aforesaid or in such other proportions as they may otherwise agree. In the event that the percentage of Offered Shares that have not been purchased (or arranged for purchase) by one or more Non-Purchasing Underwriters represents in aggregate more than 10.0% of the aggregate Offered Shares, the other Underwriters shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to purchase (or arrange for purchase) all of the percentage of the Offered Shares which would otherwise have been purchased (or arranged for purchase) by the Non-Purchasing Underwriters; the Underwriters exercising such right shall purchase (or arrange for purchase) such Offered Shares pro rata to their respective percentages aforesaid or in such other proportions as they may otherwise agree. Nothing in this 2.16(d) shall oblige the Corporation to sell to the Underwriters less than all of the Offered Shares or relieve from liability to the Corporation any Underwriter which shall be in default of its obligations under this Agreement.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall oblige any United States registered broker-dealer affiliates of any of the Underwriters to purchase the Offered Shares. Any such U.S. affiliate who makes any offers or sales of the Offered Shares in the United States will do so solely as an agent for an Underwriter.

(f) After a reasonable effort has been made to sell all of the Offered Shares at the Offering Price, the Underwriters may subsequently reduce the issue price to investors from time to time, provided that any such reduction in the Offering Price shall not result in the Corporation realizing net proceeds (after deducting the Commission and the Underwriters' expenses) from the issuance of the Offered Shares in an amount which is less than the amount the Corporation would have realized without any reduction in the issue price. The Underwriters will inform the Corporation if the Offering Price is decreased.

------

(g) The Corporation acknowledges that the Underwriters and certain of their affiliates: (i) act as a trader of, and dealer in, securities both as principal and on behalf of its clients and, as such, may have had, and may in the future have, long or short positions in the securities of the Corporation or related entities and, from time to time, may have executed or may execute transactions on behalf of such persons; (ii) may provide research or investment advice to clients on investment matters, including the Corporation; (iii) may participate in securities transactions on a proprietary basis, including transactions in the Offering or other securities of the Corporation or related entities and, (iv) nothing herein shall restrict their ability to conduct business in the ordinary course and in compliance with applicable laws.

**2.17**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Survival.**

The representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities of the Corporation and the Underwriters contained in this Agreement or contained in any documents delivered by the Corporation pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions herein contemplated will survive the Closing.

**2.18**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Indemnity.**

The Corporation agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters, each of their subsidiaries and affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, agents, each other Person, if any, controlling the Underwriters or any of their subsidiaries, affiliates and each shareholder of the Underwriters and the successors and assigns of all the foregoing Persons (collectively, the "**Indemnified Parties**" and individually, an "**Indemnified Party**"), from and against any and all losses, expenses, claims (including, without limitation, securityholder or derivative actions, arbitration proceedings or otherwise), actions, suits, proceedings, investigations, damages and liabilities, joint or several, including, without limitation, the aggregate amount paid in reasonable settlement of any actions, suits, proceedings, investigations, inquiries or claims and the reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel and other expenses incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation or in enforcing this indemnity, but excluding loss of profits, (collectively, the "**Losses**") and any Losses resulting from the acquisition, holding or disposition of any Offered Shares by an Indemnified Party as the beneficial owner, that may be suffered by, imposed upon or asserted against an Indemnified Party as a result of, in respect of, connected with or arising out of any action, suit, proceeding, investigation, inquiry or claim that may be made or threatened by any Person or in enforcing this indemnity whether or not resulting in liability (collectively the "**Claims**") insofar as the Claims relate to, are caused by, result from, arise out of or are based upon, directly or indirectly, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the U.S. Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Canadian Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectuses, the Marketing Materials or any other information (whether written or oral) supplied to any prospective investor by or on behalf of the Corporation or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, other than, in each case, any such statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriters' Information. The Corporation agrees to waive any right the Corporation may have of first requiring an Indemnified Party to proceed against or enforce any other right, power, remedy or security or claim payment from any other Person before claiming under this indemnity. The Corporation also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Corporation or any Person asserting Claims on behalf of or in right of the Corporation for or in connection with either (i) or (ii) above, other than in respect of any statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriters' Information. The Corporation will not, without the Underwriters' prior written consent, make any admission of liability, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any Claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto) unless the Corporation has acknowledged in writing that the Indemnified Parties are entitled to be indemnified in respect of such Claim and such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any liabilities arising out of such Claim without any admission of negligence, misconduct, liability or responsibility by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party; and no Indemnified Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Corporation (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any such Claim, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment, the Corporation agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

------

Promptly after receiving notice of a Claim against any Underwriter or any other Indemnified Party or receipt of notice of the commencement of any investigation which is based, directly or indirectly, upon any matter in respect of which indemnification may be sought from the Corporation, such Underwriter or any such other Indemnified Party will notify the Corporation in writing of the particulars thereof, will provide copies of all relevant documentation to the Corporation and, unless the Corporation assumes the defence thereof, will keep the Corporation advised of the progress thereof and will discuss all significant actions proposed, provided that the failure or delay in so notifying the Corporation shall not relieve the Corporation of any liability which the Corporation may have to the Underwriters or any other Indemnified Party except and only to the extent that any such delay in or failure to give notice as herein required materially prejudices the defense of such Claim or results in any material increase in the liability under this indemnity which the Corporation would otherwise have incurred had the Underwriter not so delayed in giving, or failed to give, the notice required hereunder.

If for any reason the foregoing indemnity is found to be unavailable or unenforceable (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) to the Underwriters or any other Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold the Underwriters or any other Indemnified Party harmless in respect of a Claim, the Corporation shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Underwriters or any other Indemnified Party as a result of such Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Corporation on the one hand and the Underwriters or any other Indemnified Party on the other hand but also the relative fault of the Corporation, the Underwriters or any other Indemnified Party as well as any relevant equitable considerations; provided that the Corporation shall in any event contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Underwriters or any other Indemnified Party as a result of such Claim any excess of such amount over the amount of the fees received by the Underwriters under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.18, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting commissions received by such Underwriter in connection with the Offered Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public. The rights of contribution herein provided shall be in addition to, and not in derogation of, any other right to contribution which the Indemnified Parties may have by statute or otherwise.

The Underwriters' obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 2.18 are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments as set forth opposite their respective names in Section 2.16(c) hereof.

The Corporation agrees that if any legal proceeding shall be brought against, or an investigation is commenced in respect of, the Corporation and/or an Indemnified Party and an Indemnified Party or its personnel are required to testify in connection therewith or shall be required to respond to procedures designed to discover information regarding, in connection with, or by reason of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to employ their own separate counsel in connection therewith, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel as well as the reasonable costs (including an amount to reimburse the Indemnified Party for time spent by its personnel in connection therewith at their normal per diem rates together with such disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the personnel of the Indemnified Party in connection therewith) shall be paid by the Corporation as they occur.

With respect to this Section 2.18, the Corporation acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters are contracting on their own behalf and as agents for their respective affiliates and subsidiaries and each of their respective directors, officers, partners, employees and shareholders, and each person, if any, controlling any Underwriter or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and each shareholder of any Underwriter. Accordingly, the Corporation hereby constitutes the Underwriters as agents for each person who is entitled to the indemnity from the Corporation pursuant to this Section 2.18 and is not a party hereto and the Underwriters agree to accept such agency and to hold in trust for and to enforce such covenants on behalf of such persons.

The Corporation shall be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in and, to the extent it may wish to do so, assume the defence of any Claim, provided such defence is conducted by counsel of good standing acceptable to the Underwriters. Upon the Corporation notifying the Underwriters in writing of its election to assume the defence and retaining counsel, the Corporation shall not be liable to an Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by it in connection with such defence. If such defence is not assumed by the Corporation, the Indemnified Parties, throughout the course thereof, shall provide copies of all relevant documentation to the Corporation, shall keep the Corporation advised of the progress thereof and shall discuss with the Corporation all significant actions proposed. If such defence is assumed by the Corporation, the Corporation throughout the course thereof will provide copies of all relevant documentation to the Underwriters, will keep the Underwriters advised of the progress thereof and will discuss with the Underwriters all significant actions proposed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, any Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the Corporation's expense, to separately retain counsel of such Indemnified Party's choice, in respect of the defence of any Claim if: (i) the employment of such counsel has been authorized by the Corporation; or (ii) the Corporation has not assumed the defence and employed counsel therefor promptly after receiving notice of such Claim; or (iii) counsel retained by the Corporation or the Indemnified Party has advised the Indemnified Party that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate for any reason, including for the reason that there may be legal defences available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to the Corporation or that there is a conflict of interest between the Corporation and the Indemnified Party or the subject matter of the Claim may not fall within the indemnity set forth in this Agreement (in any of which events the Corporation shall not have the right to assume or direct the defence on such Indemnified Party's behalf), provided that the Corporation shall not be responsible for the fees or expenses of more than one legal firm in any single jurisdiction for all of the Indemnified Parties.

The obligations of the Corporation under this Section 2.18 are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any liabilities which the Corporation may otherwise have to the Underwriters or any other Indemnified Party, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of any successors, permitted assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Corporation and the Indemnified Parties.

This Section 2.18 shall survive the completion of services rendered under or any expiration or termination of this Agreement and continue in full force and effect.

**2.19**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Expenses.**

Whether or not the Offering shall be completed, the Corporation will pay all expenses and fees in connection with the Offering, including, without limitation, (i) all expenses of or incidental to the creation, issue, sale or distribution of the Offered Shares, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses payable in connection with the distribution of the Offered Shares, (ii) the reasonable fees and expenses of the Corporation's counsel; (iii) all costs incurred with the preparation of documentation relating to the Offering, including the filing of the Prospectus Supplements; (iv) all reasonable fees and disbursements of the Underwriters' legal counsel up to the amount specified in Section 14 of Schedule A to that certain letter agreement dated April 27, 2026 between the Corporation and Scotia; and (v) all reasonable documented other "out-of-pocket" expenses of the Underwriters. At the option of the Underwriters, such fees and expenses may be deducted from the gross proceeds otherwise payable to the Corporation at the Closing Time.

**2.20**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Market Stabilization.**

In connection with the distribution of the Offered Shares, the Underwriters and members of their selling group (if any) may effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Shares at levels above those which might otherwise prevail in the open market, in compliance with applicable Securities Laws. Those stabilizing transactions, if any, may be discontinued at any time.

**2.21**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Advertisements.**

The Corporation acknowledges that the Underwriters shall have the right at their own expense to place such advertisement or advertisements relating to the sale of the Offered Shares contemplated herein as the Underwriters may consider desirable or appropriate and as may be permitted by applicable Law. The Corporation and the Underwriters each agree that they will not make or publish any advertisement in any media whatsoever relating to, or otherwise publicize, the transaction provided for herein so as to result in any exemption from the prospectus and registration or other similar requirements under applicable Securities Laws in any of the Selling Jurisdictions (other than the Qualifying Jurisdictions and the United States) being unavailable in respect of the offer or sale of the Offered Shares to prospective purchasers.
