**<u>AGREED TERMS</u>**

1. <u>Facility</u> 

**On the Closing Date, the Lender hereby agrees on an uncommitted and fully discretionary basis to establish an uncommitted non-revolving term loan facility in favour of the Borrower (the "Facility") on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of up to US$8,500,000 (the "Facility Limit"). Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary: (a) the Facility is uncommitted in nature and is not automatically available upon satisfaction of the terms and conditions set out herein, and (b) the Lender may cancel availability under the Facility at any time without notice, acting in its sole discretion.**

2. <u>Utilization</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Facility may be advanced
in one or more (but not more than five (5) advances) from and after the Closing Date until December 31, 2025 (the " Facility
Availability Period "); provided however, that (A) in no event shall the aggregate amount of the
Advances exceed the Facility Limit, (B) any portion of the Facility not advanced by the last day of the Facility Availability Period shall
be permanently cancelled, and (C) no single Advance shall be for an amount in excess of US$2,500,000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Facility is a non-revolving facility, and amounts repaid thereunder
may not be re-borrowed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Advances (other than the Initial Advance) under the Facility shall be
made on ten (10) Business Days' (or such shorter time as may be agreed to by the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion) prior
written notice from the Borrower to the Lender in the form of Schedule "A" attached hereto (a " Notice of Advance ").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Lender shall promptly review the Borrower's satisfaction of
conditions precedent under Clause 11(a) to disburse the Initial Advance expeditiously for the purpose of the Borrower's continuing
operation per Clause 3 below.

3. <u>Purpose</u> 

The amounts drawn under the Facility shall be used by the Borrower solely to fund, in accordance with the Cash Flow Statement (a) the Borrower's Tuspetinib related business operations, (b) accounts payable of the Borrower that are outstanding on the Closing Date in respect of the Borrower's Tuspetinib related business operations, and (c) general corporate purposes reasonably related to the Borrower's Tuspetinib related business operations, in each case, unless the Borrower has obtained prior written approval by the Lender.

For greater certainty, the Loan Parties shall not use the proceeds of the Facility in connection with the preparation of, or in anticipation of filing of any insolvency proceedings, or any creditors or obligations of the Borrower, the Guarantors or its or their affiliates unless set out in the Cash Flow Statement or with the prior written consent of the Lender.

4. <u>Voluntary Prepayment</u> 

The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, prepay all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Advances without penalty, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being repaid, on five (5) Business Days' (or such shorter time as may be agreed to by the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion) prior written notice from the Borrower to the Lender.

5. <u>Repayment</u> 

**The aggregate principal amount of all Advances and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees together with all other Obligations under this Agreement shall be repayable by Borrower in full on August 31, 2028 (the "Maturity Date"). Upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event in respect of any Loan Party, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of all Advances and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees and all other Obligations under this Agreement shall automatically become due and payable by the Borrower to the Lender without any requirement for demand of payment or other notice whatsoever.**

6. <u>Interest</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Unpaid principal amount with respect to each Advance shall accrue interest
a six percent (6%) per annum (the " Interest Rate "). Accrued interest on the outstanding
principal amount of the Advances shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Interest Period means the following periods:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Initial Interest Period: The period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2025 or
as may be otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Interest Period after the Initial Interest Period: The period commencing on the last day of the immediately
preceding Interest Period and ending on the date falling three (3) Months thereafter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) An Interest Period that would otherwise overrun the Maturity Date shall end on the Maturity Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) If an Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, that Interest Period will
instead end on the next Business Day in that calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).

Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year). In computing such interest, the date of an Advance shall be included, and the date of payment shall be excluded.

For purposes of the *Interest Act* (Canada), whenever any interest under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by 365 or 366, as applicable.

All calculations of interest shall be made by the Lender, and such calculations shall, in the absence of manifest mathematical error, be final, conclusive and binding on the Loan Parties. The indebtedness of the Borrower in respect of any Advance made by the Lender to the Borrower and interest payable hereunder shall, absent manifest mathematical error, be conclusively evidenced by the books and records of the Lender.

The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement. All interest payments to be made hereunder shall be paid without allowance or deduction for deemed reinvestment or otherwise, after as well as before maturity, default and judgment. The rates of interest specified in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates. Interest calculated hereunder shall be calculated using the nominal rate method and not the effective rate method of calculation.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, any provision of the *Courts of Justice Act* (Ontario) and the *Interest Act* (Canada) which restricts the rate of interest on any judgment debt shall be inapplicable to this Agreement and is hereby waived by the Loan Parties.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any interest rate or rates referred to herein (together with other amounts payable hereunder which are construed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be interest or in the nature of interest) exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law. If such maximum interest rate would be exceeded by the terms hereof or thereof, the rates of interest payable hereunder shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that such rates (together with other amounts which are construed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be interest or in the nature of interest) equal the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law, and any overpayment of interest received by the Lender theretofore shall be applied, forthwith after determination of such overpayment, to pay all then outstanding interest, and thereafter to pay outstanding principal, as if the same were a prepayment of principal and treated accordingly hereunder.

7. <u>Default Interest</u> 

If the Borrower fails to pay any amount payable by it under this Agreement on its due date (whether at stated maturity, on demand, by acceleration or otherwise), interest shall accrue on the unpaid sum from the due date up to the date of actual payment at a rate which is equal to nine percent (9%) per annum. Any interest accruing under this Clause 7 (*Default Interest*) shall be immediately payable to the Lender by the Borrower on demand by the Lender.

8. <u>Payments and Withholding Tax</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) All payments made by each Loan Party to the Lender under any Finance
Document shall be:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) paid on the due date for that payment in US dollars and in immediately available cleared funds
to the account of the Lender at:

Bank Name: **_________** *[redacted for confidentiality purposes]*

Bank Address: **___________________________________________**

Account Number: **______________**

or any other account as the Lender may from time to time specify in writing to the Borrower;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) be absolute and unconditional and shall not be limited or affected by any circumstance at law or in equity
or otherwise, including, without limitation, (a) any set-off, compensation, counterclaim, recoupment, defence or other right which such
Loan Party may have against the Lender or anyone else for any reason whatsoever; or (b) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or
similar proceedings by or against such Loan Party; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) made in full, without set-off, counterclaim or condition.

#### Withholding Tax
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) All payments to the Lender by any Loan Party under this Agreement or
any other Finance Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges or withholdings and all related liabilities (all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and
liabilities being referred to as " Taxes ") imposed by Canada or the United States
of America or any other relevant jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority of it), unless such Taxes are required
by applicable law to be deducted or withheld. If any Loan Party shall be required by applicable law to deduct or withhold any such Taxes
from or in respect of any amount payable under this Agreement or under any other Finance Document: (i) the amount payable shall be increased
(and for greater certainty, in the case of interest, the amount of interest shall be increased) as may be necessary so that after making

9. <u>Security</u> 

**The following security shall be completed, duly executed, delivered, and registered, where necessary, to the satisfaction of the Lender and its counsel, acting reasonably. All present and future security (the "Security") and the terms thereof shall be held by the Lender as continuing security for all present and future Obligations.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender the following security
documents:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) a first ranking general security agreement providing a security interest over all present and after acquired
personal property of the Borrower (including, without limitation, (A) over all inventory of drug substances and drug products that the
Borrower has purchased or manufactured, or will purchase or manufacture, for the purpose of research and development associated with the
licensed compound(s) or product(s) under the exclusive license agreement between the Borrower and the Lender as of November 4, 2021 (the
" **License Agreement** "), including all related materials, intermediates, and finished goods, and (B) the License Agreement
and all Tuspetinib clinical trial data); provided that, if the Lender has unreasonably withheld an Advance, and such withholding is the
direct cause of an Event of Default under Clause 13(e), then the assets subject to the Security in respect of the Borrower shall be limited
to the assets described in paragraph (A) above; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) subject to the proviso above, such other assignments, assignments of material contracts, landlord access
agreements, and other security documents as may be reasonably required from time to time by the Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Guarantor shall execute and deliver to the Lender the following
security documents:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) an unlimited guarantee, guaranteeing all of the Obligations of the Borrower and the other Guarantors;

other security documents as may be required from time to time by the Lender.

No Loan Party shall be discharged from the Security or any part thereof except by a written release and discharge signed by the Lender. The Lender hereby agrees to release the Security and discharge the security interests constituted by the Security at the Borrower's sole cost and expense forthwith after all of the Obligations have been unconditionally and irrevocably paid or performed in full and the Facility secured by the Security has been terminated.

The Security will be in such form or forms as will be required by the Lender acting reasonably and will be registered by the Lender or its counsel in Canada (and any province thereof) and the United States (and any state thereof) as the Lender, acting reasonably, may from time to time require to protect and perfect the liens created thereby. Should the Lender determine at any time and from time to time, acting reasonably, that the form and nature of the then existing Security is deficient in any way or does not fully provide the Lender with the liens and priority to which each is entitled hereunder, each Loan Party will forthwith execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to the Lender, at the Borrower's expense, such amendments to the Security or provide such new security as the Lender may reasonably request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any notice or other communication given by either party shall be deemed

A notice or other communication given as described in this Clause (other than as described in Clause 19(b)(ii)) on a day that is not a Business Day, or after normal business hours, in the place it is received, shall be deemed instead to have been received on the next Business Day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) This Clause 19 (*Notices*) does not apply to the service of

20. <u>Currency Indemnity</u> 

Each Loan Party shall indemnify the Lender for any loss suffered by the Lender if any Obligations are repaid in any currency other than US dollars, whether such payment is made pursuant to an order or judgment of a court or otherwise.

21. <u>Judgment Currency</u> 

**If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due to the Lender in any currency (the "Original Currency") into another currency (the "Other Currency"), the parties agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Lender could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given or, if permitted by applicable law, on the day on which the judgment is paid or satisfied.**

The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to the Lender under any of the Finance Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Other Currency, the Lender may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Lender in the Original Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding the judgment, to indemnify the Lender, against any loss, and, if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Lender in the Original Currency, the Lender shall remit such excess to the Borrower.

22. <u>Counterparts</u> 

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed shall constitute a duplicate original, but all the counterparts together shall constitute one agreement.

23. <u>Confidentiality</u> 

The existence of this Agreement, the terms contained herein, and any information in connection with the transactions contemplated by or related to this Agreement are confidential and shall not be disclosed in whole or in part to any other person or entity without the prior written consent of the Lender (in the case of information provided by the Lender) or the Borrower (in the case of information provided by the Borrower), except for disclosure as necessary to the Borrower's or the Lender's executives, officers and employees, to professional advisors retained by the Borrower or the Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and/or as may be required by law. Any breach of this Clause 23 shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

24. <u>Governing law and jurisdiction</u> 

(a) This Agreement and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes
or claims) arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the Province of Ontario.

(b) Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out
of or relating to this Agreement or any other Finance Document. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Finance Document limits the
right of the Lender to bring proceedings against the Loan Parties in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
